D2G Cant do nothing, Help Plz!

Hi guys, i need help with a D2G, the phone is not mine i am trying to fix it, the problem is, that i cant flash any custom rom or stock SBF on it since the owner formating the SD card, i cant do factory reset or save current settings, always appear the same setting when i reboot, if i uninstall apps or install new apps, when reboot, the apps installed gone or the deleted apps are there again so weird.. i intall CWM but when reboot nothing happens even pressing Power + X, it just enter to stock recovery but nothing works..
Other thing is in the "System folder of the phone the Recovery folder is not there" i do not know if can be deleted, and if yes.. can it damage the phone?
I already Flash stock SBFs (VRZ_A956_2.4.33_1FF_01.sbf) and now i have
Bootloader
D0.11
Code Corrupt
I have attached a screen capture with the FAIL in RSD when flashing.. the FAIL message appear when is rebooting in the final process.
PS: the phone comes with this procedure & rom >>> http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Motorola_Droid_2_Global:_Full_Update_Guide
Thx in advance !!

There are two possible answers:
1. The SBF file is corrupt.
2. The phone's flash memory is corrupt (aka dead, not usable any more).

Well, your phone's internal flash memory is probably fried.
The solution would be to file a warranty claim with Verizon or Motorola Mobility.

i cant fix the phone, the only thing i do was flash and re flash after 1st flash, and the phone comes alive again, but i have the same problem with the internal memory, no save any changes i made, if i delete an app or change a theme, when i restart the phone, everything is there again or back to the normal, and i cant made a Factory Reset.. the phone is usable but every time that i made a restart all the settings or changes are gone..
Cheers..

most likely bad flash memory
but I would try ezSBF, just to see
[TOOL] ezSBF D2G
some times it works when rsd lite fails

[Q] fastboot device without loosing data. Possible?

Hello!
Lets start with this. I have a big problem with my nexus s. A few day ago following problem occured. Everytime if i switch it on it seem to stuck in the booting mode. I can see the colored X on the display but the system wont start. I have stored some sensible and important data on the phone. Mostly pictures and some other data.
How could i get an access to this data? I have already read about diffrent methods in the forums but mostly any of this methods would mean that all my data will be erased.
Do you know any similar threats or tutorials here?
I would be very thank full for any help. Because i wont to avoid the hardware based solution by removing the memory and try to get access to it afterwards.

well..pictures and other media files are saved on the flash memory so it's not difficult to access to them.
if you already have a recovery you can access to memory by:
pwr+vol up > in fastboot select recovery with volume buttons and confirm with power.
once you get into recovery go to memory and storage> at the end of the list you find "mount usb storage">connect phone with usb to a pc and save img/photo and other things.
if you don't have it you can flash it, it won't compromise your data.
if you are looking a way to save data from apps such messages and other things similar, follow the procedure on developers.google.com to flash the rom but stop it before erasing the memory and re-flashing the rom; one time the same thing happens to a friend and this have "unlocked" the device so it have completed the boot and allow to save everything before flashing the new rom
hope this will be helpful..

[Completed] (SOLVED!!)How to Pull files from internal memory when phone won't boot??

Hi!!
Ok I have a Samsung galaxy s2. My issue is that it won't boot past the Samsung logo. It's been that way for a week! I've tried battery pull, waiting, tried getting into safe-mode(no luck), however, nothing has worked so far. I just want to know how I can get my files from internal memory/storage. I would really like to pull my photos, videos, and possibly my music from there.
I can get into stock recovery, and see my device connected via adb, but I can't go any further to get my files.
Q1: How can I get my phone to pull my internal storage in stock recovery?
Q2: Is it possible to download CWM or TWRP without debug or when the phone won't boot?
I can't get in my phone and all I've been told was that there is nothing I can do and will be forced to factory reset.
p.s. I have nothing backed up via drop box or kies, and everything wasn't saved to my sd card(which is removed from the phone now).
Help would be greatly appreciated Thanks
...........Okay, Problem solved! ALL Thanks to this guys post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/soft-brick-stuck-samsung-screen-how-to-t2206517
Now I'm just trying to work my way back to flashing stock firmware for Virgin Mobile. I am a total noob at this, but I managed to get my files!:laugh: :victory: :good: :highfive:

A1: i don't know.
A2: yes it's
i had the same problem yesterday and i tried anything nothing worked , you can just download the firmware of your phone then download SP flash tool and search for tutorial on youtube , your data phone and all your memory will be lost but you'll be able to use it

Xperia Z5 in uppdating apps loop

Changed casing of a Z5 Compact (old one was broken) and afterwards it keep updating the apps and when done it says "Starting apps", shuts down and then start updating apps again. First time it says there's 84 apps to update, other time it says it's 24 apps to update, then it says 84 again and then 24 and so on. Keeps looping between them.
The problem is I really, really need the contacts and pictures stored on the phone so I don't want to start from scratch.
If I want to reflash the phone the flasher says APPS_LOG, DIAG, SSD and USERDATA under "wipe". If I choose not to wipe USERDATA, does it keep the contacts and pictures? I can't afford to take a chance on this but can't find any information anywhere about this...

You can do this:
using fastboot flash twrp recovery then in recovery try wiping data cache and dalvik cache, your pictrures will stay but if you dont have contacts on google account or sim card they will be lost. If this also dont help you just flash new firmware in twrp and you are good to go.

Ah, but it doesn't have bootloader unlocked or rooted or anything. To flash twrp recovery I need to unlock the bootloader, right? And unlocking the bootloader on xperia isn't really the best start since it then clears everthing on the phone, right?
And, contacts is the big deal here.
Thank you for your advice, the effort is really appreciated.

Since your bootloader is still locked try fixing you phone using Sony Pc Companion.

How would I do that, and without loosing the information on the phone? I don't seem to get it to even acknowledge the phones existens. Tried both volume up/down when connecting it to the computer, anything I've missed?

Ok, I give up on saving the contacts. But is there a way that will atleast leave the images untouched so I can recover those? I'm in serious need of help with this since it's quite important images.
Every little bit of help is appreciated.

Install Xperia Companion
Select "Software repair" option (battery needs to be >80% charged).
That won't wipe anything - assuming something hasn't already happened to your data.

You can use flashtool to repair firmware,but before flashing uncheck wipe data option and that is all.

Sony themself answer this:
"When you perform a software repair using the Xperia™ Companion application, PC Companion application (for Windows® computers) or the Sony™ Bridge for Mac application (for Apple® Mac® computers), the internal storage of your Xperia™ device gets overwritten. Photos, videos, music and documents stored on an external SD card do not get erased during a software repair."
And if I'd had the images on an SD card I'd just removed it and backed it up trough my cardreader.

I need help flashing firmware on my bootlooping s10e to recover some files

After the most recent update my phone got put into a bootloop that wouldnt stop for some reason, it would boot and then after I wanna say less than 20 seconds it would reboot itself, and just kept going on in this cycle unless I powered it off when it was booted. Anyway I've been trying everything I can to get the damn thing working again so I can at the very least get my pictures off of it without factory resetting it and nothing is working, and I sorta feel like I've made things worse. I tried flashing with Odin but after that the thing just stopped booting alltogether so that kinda limited my options a lot. Now I'm trying to sideload an update from an sd card which might work if i can find the right thing to sideload onto it but before it gets anywhere it tells me error in /sideload/package.zip (status 7) so either I just need a different thing to sideload or something's broken. Either way I don't know how to get it working cause I have no idea what I'm doing here so now I need help.
My phone is SM-G970U SPR

Sounds like you are in a bad spot. If your pictures are on internal storage then flashing anything in Odin will wipe that.
I think you need to accept that they may be lost.

not so fast, i've used home_csc in all my flashes and when I finally got one working all my stuff was still intact. Now i just need to figure out how to get it to stop bootlooping.

Hello friends, I am currently crying in the same boat!
So, similar to Oske829 my phone ( Samsung Galaxy S10e ) has entered into a bootloop after a recent update that occurred roughly on February 06, 2021.
I am also experiencing the same symptoms as well:
My phone starts to boot up, then fails and Approximately 20 seconds after, it repeats that cycle. The phone continues to bootloop until drained of its battery then repeats this cycle again once if it is charged. **this is the current situation**
After playing around with the buttons, the only progress I've made is reaching the Download Mode. Ive yet to try odin or anything else and would like to ask for some help please! I really want to be able to save the data on there (pictures, music, apps, etc..)
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

Download the latest official firmware with Frija tool (no download caps unlike websites like Sammobile etc). Just be aware that if you download and use Android 11 you wont be able to downgrade to Android 10.
After you have downloaded it unpack the zip and run Odin. In order to preserve your data flash the HOME_CSC file not the regular CSC... file. Once you unpack the files you will see.
The phone needs to be in download mode for flashing and battery is suggested to be at 40% or more.
Btw a good way to get out of bootloop and get the phone to shut down is to connect the USB cable (could be from charger or PC) and then press Volume Down+Power buttons to force a restart. It may be nessesary to do this a few times.
At one point you will not see the boot screen but instead it will show the lightning bolt charging logo and the percentage. After that you can simply unplug the cable and the phone will turn off.
In order to enter Download mode the best way is to start with phone turned off. Hold Bixby+Volume Down buttons and connect the USB cable from PC. Once you see the confirmation screen you can release the buttons and press Volume Up to continue.

So incredibly glad to hear I'm not a lone soul dealing with this issue. I've tried a whole bunch of things to fix this issue but nothing is getting me anywhere. I tried flashing android 10 but as that other lad said you can't flash older versions of android.
At this point I think my only chance of saving the phone is to wait for a new system update to release and flash that in case it somehow magically fixes the phone for some reason. I wouldn't recommend trying to flash atm because it doesn't seem to help currently and if you donk it up you'll lose your data which is not something either of us want to do.
I'll let you know what happens if I try flashing a future update.

Well i had an even bigger problem initially. Not only was my S10e bootlooping. My EFS partition was missing files (dont know how that happened). That meant that IMEI was blank and there was not network connectivity aside from Wi-Fi.
Unfortunately even the stock firmware flash does not fix EFS. Thankfully i had a backup (multiple actually) stored away including EFS. So with some fiddiling around in custom recovery file manager (TWRP) i manged to get that restored. I did lose bunch of pictures in intrernal storage tho. Thankfully it was nothing important. Now i keep everything on SD card and SD Cards backup in PC.
Now im trying to get the phone rooted with Magisk but the damn thing is not working.
This underscores the importance of regular (i had weekly TWRP) backups. I had backups of all partitions except internal data like pictures etc. Lesson learned i guess.

Hey RaXelliX thanks for lending a hand! Unfortunately I'm using a Mac Pro and Frija is a Windows exclusive *tears*
it seems that my next best alternative is to use Samloader instead of Frija, and JOdin3 instead of Odin. After some research ive realized that I am way out of my depth , but shall continue nonetheless. I'm gonna try your method with these alternatives and hope for the best, that sounds good in theory I was just curious to the thoughts of others more experienced.
And Oske829 your definitely not alone, stay strong and best of luck
Thanks!

There was a new firmware on Sammobile that I just tried flashing, didn't fix the problem, still bootlooping. I am officially out of ideas on how to fix this. I think there's something funky at the hardware/software level that's throwing a fit about having to run android 11 that's causing this, but I have no clue what it could be or how to resolve it. Not sure if there's anything i can do at this point to save my data.

You could try flashing a custom recovery (i suggest TWRP: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/beyond0lte/ S10e Exynos version) and the once in recovery connect USB cable to move the data off. If you succeed then you could wipe the phone and get out of bootloop.
When flashing recovery via Odin use the AP field and select the twrp-3.5.0_9-4-beyond0lte.img.tar file and make sure NAND Erase and Re-Partition are OFF. Auto-Reboot could be on or off.
This would touch only the recovery partition and will not wipe data unless you do it yourself inside TWRP.
There are a few caveats with this. The phone may complain about missing VBMETA header. If that's the case i will share a modified TAR file that includes that and TWRP itself. Or the phone could fail flashing custom recovery due to Vaultkeeper that prevents flashing unofficial binaries. This usually happens a day or two after flashing firmware. After that Vaultkeeper disengages.
Obviously your bootloader should be unlocked. You can do that by pressing Bixby+Vol Down before connecting the cable (with phone off) and then long press Vol Up to enter bootloader unlock mode. Bootloader can later be relocked again.

Is this exclusively for exynos phones or can I run twrp on a qualcomm device?
nevermind i found the snapdragon version of twrp

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader the way you described but that doesn't seem to be doing anything, and any guides I'm seeing on how to unlock it all involve doing something that resets the phone which isn't what I'm going for.

You might be out of luck as Snapdragon versions do not allow bootloader unlocks. At least as far as i know. I wrongly assumed you had Exynos version. If the data is important the last resort might be to contact some data recovery company. Im sure they have tools to access the internal memory even if the phone bootloops or flat out refuses to boot.

I believe he already tried that and the phone is still bootlooping. Im betting that whatever causes the bootloop is in the data, the data he needs to access.
A bad situation all around because if he wipes the data it will likely fix the bootloop but he will lose the data. If he keeps the data the phone will keep bootlooping and he wont be able to access it. Although i would argue that the data you cant access is effectively lost anyway and that the proper functioning of the phone is more important.

I've heard that theres tools you can use to recover deleted data after resets and stuff since data doesnt get wiped when its deleted its just marked as stuff that can be written over. So I would think there would be a way for me to reset my phone to get it working and then recover the data with one of those programs, but the problem is from what I've heard you need a rooted device to do any of that and since I can't unlock my bootloader I don't think that can happen.
The one last thing I'm going to try before I seek out help from data recovery people is to try pushing the smartswitch apk onto the phone with adb and then hoping I have enough uptime to install it before the phone reboots cause I've heard you can use smartswitch in download mode to backup data, but I haven't found any guides anywhere about how this is done so I don't know if its actually doable.

Well I find myself here after 48 hours of s10e hell, with an almost identical issue. After a couple attempts and a trip to our local cell phone repair place, we ended up doing a factory reset, with the same hopes -- that the files were still there but the space marked as "free" and a 3rd party data recovery program could bring them back from the dead.
But they all require your phone to be rooted first - and this being my first venture into phone rooting I'm not really sure which route to go, or if it'll even be worth the effort. Does rooting the phone mean flashing it with a new OS, or simply unlocking superuser access so the recovery software can do its bit? (bear in mind, a lot of these products try to root the phones themselves, but none of them seem to work - I've tried about 4 different products thus far).
I'm convinced that if I can root this phone, the recovery software WILL find those lost sectors and recover the lost data, even after a factory reset -- there's plenty of youtube videos out there that say you can do this, but the rooting bit is what's got me tied up in knots!

huh.. jeah, latest update bricked my s10e too.
but my case, when power on phone, nothing happens, just black.. when conect cable to pc , then i can enter recovery and download mode..
till now nothing helped..
oem locked, frp locked, cant flash custom binaries!
hope next update will fix this madnes..
or need to find same firmware as update.zip what we can flash using stock recovery option (sadly saamsung dont give any update.zip files, i gues its money thing)
so, odin dont help, chimera tools dont help, and enginering combination file give some approval error to flash factory binaries!

well ,as far as i know, thease all recovery lost data works with HDD type disks, flash memory are out of luck..
because, i easy restored deleted data from my HDD, if it wasnt multiple times formated or writed full hdd , deleted, writed full etc.. but with SSD that software isnt working, due flash memory.. but, maybe im just to old, and there are new softs who can do that, just, i have not seen any jet!
