Get my data back from "crashed" phone - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I use a galaxy s7 with SupermanRom and TWRP I installed 1.5 year ago (updated it a few times but it wasn't up to date now).
A few days ago I got the error message "custom binary blocked by frp lock" after rebooting . I think I unchecked OEM by mistake recently, not sure.
So I used odin to install a stock firmware from sammobile. I took the most recent one (8.0, my phone was 7.0 I think though). I used HOME_CSC to keep my data.
Odin task succedeed but I got the "No command" error after the blue android screen of installing updates. After restart it puts me on the "encryption failed, please reset to factory settings" screen. I did again the odin installation and same issue. I tried a lower firmware but got an odin error.
The big issue is that my SD was actually full and only now I remember allowing the phone to save my pictures on the phone itself 3 months ago...
I just came back from holidays and I really need to get my pictures back before the factory reset.
So I now have only access to the stock (?) bootloader (Jb2v7Ie on imgur, can't post link), the "no command" then encryption failed factory reset screen and the downloading screen.
I really need your help, I don't want to make a mistake I have barely no experience with all this and I didn't find anything except some shady softwares like dr fone. I don't mind paying 30$ for a software if I can get my pictures back though.
Thanks.

restore softbrick

Hi
I think my problem is in worst situation ever.
First, I was on CM11.
Then I heard VZW GS3 finally got 4.3 update, so I just went back to 4.1.2 official firmware.
Then my problem started.
I got that update, and then boot was successful.
However, all of my game data and pictures were gone.
So I tried to fix that because I thought that game data and pictures were still remain at some where.
Why?
cause the memory usage showed to me it was 4GB left.
it was same amount as when I was in 4.1.2 with all the data and pictures.
so, I tried to go back to 4.1.2, but I couldn't.
And I was using CWM latest version for GS3, but OTA disable it.
So every time that I trying to go to recovery mod, it shows "System software not authorized blahblahblah..."
Anyway, then I try to boot that system nomarly.
I thought it will going to boot, but it shows Samsung Galaxy S3 logo, then booted again.
then shows "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless blahblahblah..."
Then I try to flesh CWM 6.0.1.2 recover by odin 3.07, but it keep shows Failed.
I look up to phone error message was
Secure check failed : recovery.
It didn't installed.
So, I fleshed into stock recovery, and it installed perfectly.
So I did factory reset, and wipe caches, but still same.
It is not booting.
keep showing
System software not authorized.........
is any solution that I can do with now?
(sorry for my bad English.)

Rooted Galaxy Core Prime SM-G360T1 wont boot after Metro PCS logo

So after i rooted my phone everything was working fine but then a message saying "unauthorized changes have been made to phone restart to undo changes" i accidentally clicked restart and once the phone got to the metro screen it froze there.
I've tried using the recovery.tar on Odin but nothing changes i even factory restored/wiped cache multiple times so can anyone help me out/tell me what i'm doing wrong?
If you want to recover from any type of error. Simply restore using the original firmware from this device. (An almost identical thing happened to me last night, but thankfully i was able to recovery thanks to the support from this forum and also being able to download the stock firmware.)

Ive had this proble, you just have to be patient, it will boot after the logo its loading files in the background
I had the same problem. But no matter how long I waited it would never get past the metro pcs logo. I had to go into recovery and erase and format. I was then able to get into android but I now have to wait 72 hours for google to unlock the phone. Part of the new security feature of lollipop. Once I get in I will disable the feature.

Samsung Note Edge sprint boot loop

I have almost all the threads open on this forum with getting resolving the issue.
I woke up last week only to find the phone continually rebooting.
I ordered a new battery - same issue
did factory reset - same issue
did wiped cache - same issue
downloaded sprint firmware and installed via Odin - same issue.
I bought this phone less than a month, although used. Its extremely frustrating.
Any help will be appreciated.
Hi, did u do something?
I also have this note when I do restore by Odin I see only logo Samsung (on top info "recovery boot" when I go to recovery info "no command" and boot loop.
I had the same problem with SM-N915P model, and here are a few steps that I did to pass the bootloop.
- Download this PIT file : https://mega.nz/#!RZEzQSwR
- Open software you prefer to flash ROMs (ODIN, Z3X)
- Select the pit file.
- Check Re-Partition option, Auto-reboot, F. Reset Time.
- Add stock ROM files (Try to install the last ROM that it worked for you. ).
- Flash it.
Best regards.
Do you have the decryption key? Has anyone else tried this option?
Same issue with the latest stock firmware from sammobile, I put it down, came back five minutes later, locked on Sprint's LTE screen. I tried to restore from my TWRP backup, factory reset, reflash the firmware in Odin (that fails for some reason). I managed to get it to "Welcome to your new device, preparing your phone, this may take 3 or 4 minutes" or whatever it says, then >poof!< it reboots.
Does anyone have any ideas for this? I'm stumped. It does have TWRP recovery on it, so there's that.

Thank you, very much!
Let's see what happens....
Has anyone got any ideas here, my S10+ was stolen last night, so I'm frantically trying to get this edge back in working order.
I've gotten it to the stage with the gears on the screen and "Android is upgrading apps" or something similar, with x out of XX apps being updated; however, it still reboots and won't get past that stage.
I've tried Odin 3.09 and 3.13, with the .pit and without and the attached picture is where I land "FAIL."
Any suggestions, threads, ideas?
Thank you in advance.
...aaaand I fixed it.
Thanks anyway!

Get my pictures back from bricked phone before factory reset

Hi, I bricked my phone and desperately need to get my pictures back before the factory reset. My SD was full so my camera was saving on my phone and it has my holidays pictures.
So I now have only access to the bootloader (i.imgur.com/ xxZh9lh.jpg remove space please I can't post links), the "downloading" screen and the encryption failed factory reset screen.
I really need your help, I don't want to make a mistake and lose my pictures, I have barely no experience with all this and I didn't find anything except some shady softwares like dr fone. I don't mind paying 30$ for a software if I can get my pictures back though.
Thanks.
How I got the problem:
I use a galaxy s7 with SupermanRom and TWRP I installed 1.5 year ago (updated it a few times but it wasn't up to date now).
A few days ago I got the error message "custom binary blocked by frp lock" after rebooting. I think I unchecked OEM by mistake recently, not sure.
To fix this I used odin to install a stock firmware from Sammobile. I took the most recent one (8.0, my phone was 7.0 I think though). I used HOME_CSC to keep my data.
Odin task succeded but couldn't use my phone : blue android screen of installing updates and then "No command" error. Then the phone restarts and is stuck on "encryption unsuccessful/failed, reset phone".
I tried again the odin install and same issue. I tried a lower firmware but got an odin error.
Hi, I still need help, I made the post clearer.

Upgrading to 12 bricked phone - Factory reset loads 12 but enrolled in Knox

New 10 XEU N970F bricked when trying to update. Gets passed the logo to 4 swirling dots and just stays there - tried soft reset, plugging it into PC on Smart Switch, wipe cache and hard reset. same every time.
Samsung are like "you might have bought it New and still security sealed but it's still out of warranty it'll cost you for us to flash it ..."
Read up and got hold of Odin and the latest firmware - same swirly dots.
Tried Factory reset again and yay it started except it's "configured by SAMSUNG Electronics UK enrolled in Knox. So tries to load retail mode and is locked down - no factory reset option (even in Boot Loader) loads of Google apps don't work, Google Play Store not available hell I can't even change the wallpaper or set Biometrics to log on. It is on 12 though...
Suggestions?
Try wiping the NAND and repartition maybe and then try Odin again? Give up and see if I can get a refund?
I'm an Android dabbler, I've rooted and added custom ROMS to older non Samsung devices in the past but only following guides or using scripted tools.
Any help gratefully appreciated

Set Odin to repartition and clear NAND and do all but the userdata and it rebooted to a fresh install enrolled to Knox ..... Arse!
So it turns out using Knox to enrol devices to your organisation is pretty solid - It's linked to the IMEI as far as I can gather and has a hardware flag (I'm assuming from it's behaviour - so I'm stuffed. Tried the support at Samsung again and with some effort and a couple of links to Knox documentation finally got her to understand what I was saying. Couldn't help of course but gave me another dept to try when they open on Monday...
Sent it back for a replacement - with little fuss from the reseller. Replacement won't update...
