I hope someone sees this- I know it's an old phone. It was working fine until a few days ago. Seems to be soft bricked. Need to recover data (photos etc) from internal user memory. Please help?
Stuck on Samsung S7275R boot logo. Charging doesn't go past initial spinning wheel. Recovery mode doesn't load (black screen with vol+, home, power). Download mode does enter, Samsung USB driver installs, com port and device detected in ODIN. Tried to flash TWRP and firmware, but ODIN fails to flash anything (stuck on initializing, then eventually fails with device info error). In download mode, device is not recognised in KIES or ADB. Cables and PC are OK- Samsung s3 connects fine.
Is there any way to recover my data without JTAG? Please help!

Help please! I was trying to install a custom touch recovery with Odin, as soon as i flashed it into my phone, my phone stopped and now I am unable to enter recovery or download mode, the PC doesn;t detect it and it won't boot, just shows the samsung logo with the phone model name (Galaxy S Advance). When i connect my phone to PC it just shows the loading wheel, and from that point I can't do anything with my phone, I have tried all the possible methods of connecting my phone without battery, turning it on before connecting to the usb cable etc. I also reinstalled the drivers but without success.
Please consider these issues:
*I can't enter download mode or recovery mode;
*The PC doesn't detect my phone;
*My volume buttons don't work. I used to enter recovery and download mode via adb and 300k tool, but now my phone is undetectable by PC.

hello, I searched but cannot seem to find this situation.
Phone stops at first samsung logo that shows model no and goes no further.
SD card is formatted and there is nothing on it (no backups).
I can boot into recovery (not always), but not download mode. There is nothing available in recovery as card is formatted.
I normally use linux, but used odin in windows.
USB drivers are ok except mtp connection to phone via usb. Phone is recognized as Samsung Android device. I used developer usb drivers and not kies; Should I have used kies.
If someone could point me to a thread that'd be ideal for this situation, I'd appreciate it.
edit:
every once in a while I can log into download mode or recovery. Phone keeps restarting and I have to remove the battery to turn it off and then enter download or recovery.
I can't seem to get the windows drivers to work as the phone is in either booting or in download mode when installing drivers.

Hello. As the Title suggests, it is exactly my problem.
I have done quite a lot of research, and I have been able to find similar issues, but not the exact problem.
I tried installing an external source .apk and it resulted in crashing my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. Now the phone would simply restart and is forever stuck on the bootloop.
Now, the things that are working with the phone are:
Enter the Download (Odin) Mode (Volume Down + Home+ Power Button)
Things that are not working are:
- Unable to enter the Recovery Mode (Volume Up + Home + Power Button)
- Connecting to the PC, does not trigger any changes in both the PC and the phone. (There is nothing wrong with the USB drivers. I have installed the latest Samsung USB Drivers and tried connecting a different Samsung phone and it was detected on the PC as well as ODIN)
- As it is not detected in PC, the phone is not being detected in ODIN. The phone is connected in Download (ODIN) mode.
I don't know what to do at this point. Can someone please suggest some ways to fix this? Thank you so much!
Hi all,
I have my S8+ (g955f) and I want to update from CRAP to CRP7. I've downloaded the latest ODIN as well as the update files for my phone. When I enter Download mode (recovery mode) the USB will not be detected in any PC that I have (tried multiple cables and ports too just in case). However it is fully detected and usable when its running in normal boot mode (so cable is ok as well as ports, etc). Can anyone help?
When I enter recovery mode (power+vol up+bixby) it says installing system update, then no command. Then it enters recovery mode. It will not allow me to enter bootloader mode (reboots into android). I have wiped the system, cache and tried again, but nothing.
Help!
Thanks!

Just to add, windows doesnt seem to make any usb detected sounds and nothing is showing up in device manager at all (in known or unknown form). I have installed the latest samsung usb drivers too.
Hello guys, I'm really STUCK with the galaxy S6 (G920F) at the moment.
A friend gave it to me he said it suddenly turned off while he was playing a game and couldn't boot anymore.
I can't turn it off, it will keep on turning on automatically.
I can't go into recovery mode.
I can only go into download mode and flash a firmware with odin
I flashed the stock firmware with the latest odin and it flashed successfully. But it's still stuck on the Samsung logo (powered by Android) and won't boot into recovery or do anything at all.
So I read it could be the battery, so I bought a new one and replaced the battery.
But the problem remains. On Windows 7 x64 it's detected as "Gadget Serial" and "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" when I'm in download mode.
Odin detects the phone fine.
I then tried using Samsung Kies, and Samsung Smart Switch. Samsung Smart Switch detects an "unsupported device" and Samsung Kies doesn't detect anything at all and is stuck at "connecting...".
I don't have any ideas anymore and I fear it's a dead flash chip or any other board malfunctions.
Any suggestions maybe? Pleasee?

Sounds to me like it has run out of storage space and has no room to cache files when it boots.
Have you tried extracting the stock recovery.img from the stock firmware file then converting the recovery.img to a .tar.md5 file, then flashing the recovery and try to boot directly to it after flashing? If you can get into recovery, you can factory reset the device and wipe the cache partition. Sometimes this solves a bootloop issue after flashing stock firmware.
You can also try flashing a copy of TWRP for your device and then use TWRP to factory reset and wipe the device.
