Hey guys
I have been trying to resuscitate my friend´s Galaxy S2 for weeks and can´t figure it out. The point is we don´t want to wipe the phone as we want to save the data (contacts and pics that the friend did not save elsewehere).
What happened:
My friend opened Shazam, the phone powered off and has been stuck on the flashing Samsung logo screen.
I can access the recovery mode and download mode.
What I have tried so far:
Dowloaded appropriate JB ROM from Sam Mobile, tried flashing with Odin - the phone got hanging on "Upgrading Android OS, starting applications" screen.
Rebooted, hanging at the flashing Samsung logo screen.
Then I tried loading CWM from SD card, but this probably overwrote the original ROM as I could not access the recovery mode afterwards.
Tried flashing again to Jelly Bean.
Still stuck at the flashing Samsung logo screen.
Basically, is there any way how to recover the data only, without making the phone fully functional (or wiping the phone first)?
Any advice is welcome, thank you!

I was using CM11 on my Galaxy S Advance for a few months, today I restarted my phone and it was showing the CM11 Boot Animation normally, then it showed up the lockscreen and then turned off instantly showing the CM11 Boot Animation again. I did a factory reset with my CWM, everything got fine, then I restarted my phone again and it was in that kind of bootloop again. Can someone help me? (I can't reinstall CM11 because when I plug my USB cable in my phone, Windows doesn't detect it, and I can't put CM11 ZIPs in my phone)
Hi,
You don't have a nandroid backup from CWM you can restore? Having a good backup kept on the phone is always essential in this hobby. No cm rom zip either that you can install from on the phone? Without either, you may need to Odin flash stock to your device. But for other advice, or help with any of my suggestions, you can ask here...

I installed a stock rom for my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (P-6800) and it was stuck at the flashing SAMSUNG logo (the one with the tune) and so I juct left it there and went to sleep. The next day I tried turning on the tabalet but it didn't work so I booted into Download Mode and did a NAND erase. I was planning to install a stock rom from SAMMOBILE but now I can't boot into Download Mode. When I try to, it goes into the warning screen and after a second or so, it becomes black. I figured it could have been out of battery or a button is broken. I have tried charging the tablet with wall charger (2.1A) but it doesn't seem to work. I could occasionaly get it succesfully into Download Mode but it will turn off itself for no reason.
THERE IS NO OS INSTALLED SO DON'T TELL ME TO GO THE TERMINAL OR ANYTHING. IT IS ABSOULUTLY EMPTY ONLY HARDWARE AND DOWNLOAD MODE.
Anyways, please help. I am trying to get daniel_hk's cyanogen mod on this for my friend and I don't think he would expect me giving a bricked tablet to him.

My Samsung went into an update last week but was interupted during the process. Now it is stuck on the galaxy logo screen. I cannot get it to go into the recovery screen but it will go into download screen. I bought a new phone so no longer need it for phone purposes or ability to connect to satellites etc. But I do want to use it as an mp3 player when I run. I cannot get Kies to recognize it and when I hook up to Odin 1.85 it stops at Nand . How can I recover my phone enough to use it for an mp3?
Thanks

Hello,
So I have a little problem. I was trying to install a ROM and did some mistake. I wiped almost everything on my tablet and restore the system. It said "there's no OS installed" and when I try to reboot I can't get past through the Samsung logo.
I know how to get to download mode and recovery mode, Odin recognizes my tablet while in download mode, but I don't know what to do. Kies, on the other hand, doesn't recognize my tablet and still says "Connecting..."
Can someone help me please?

I tried to root my device and it went quite well. Then I tried to flash a custom rom (Darkwolf S7 edge port) on my phone but I ended up in a bootloop where it was stuck on the samsung logo for hours. I tried different stuff to get out of it but nothing worked so I decided to flash the stock rom onto my phone and at the odin status I get "FAIL". And on my device it shows "Volume Size is too big 4620289 < 4718599. And my phone is unusable. I need some help asap to fix it.
