I received my note yesterday after sending it to Samsung for repair and it was working perfectly fine. I haven't rooted it yet.
Last night it began rebooting after roughly every 30s to a minute and has been doing so repeatedly since. I have no idea why its doing this but it will still boot into recovery and download mode and USB debugging is on.
I haven't tried hard resetting it because it was my friends birthday last night and I have a lot of pictures a videos which I really don't want to lose. I usually save them on my microSD card because I've had bad experiences with this before but I completely forgot last night.
I was wondering if there was any way possible to recover my data from my phone in recovery/download mode or to stop it from rebooting?
Thanks in advance
Hard reset from this two option
1. Recovery mode(vol up + Home + Power) - wipe data
2. Setting - privacy - factory reset (dont select format USB storage)
Niether of it will erase your pic/video that stored in Int/Ext memory.
Dont use this command to hard reset *2767*3855# , otherwise you will lose data on int memory card.
You could probably copy the content of the sdcard when in recovery with adb commands.
You can try to wipe cache in recovery, that won't affect your internal sdcard. Even a factory reset from recovery should not affect your internal sdcard.
Please let some more ppl confirm this before you try to do a FR.
Cheers.

Hello,
actually I have CM10 on my SGS. But recently the SGS has a lot of crashes when I'm using it. I want to completely wipe the phone(not just Data Wipe...) and then install CM10 again. How can I do that?
Like factory format, including wipe all the settings, apps and also files from the sdcard? If so, then you can type this code *2767*3855# (it won't ask for confirmation).
I think factory wipe is the same as "data wipe" in CWM. That won't help because I do a data wipe before flashing a new rom.
Format everything in "mount and storage" in CWM
I think the same

i think it will be good
I recently did a factory reset and realized it didn't wiped my phone. It deletes the account but files and pictures are still in tact. For anyone returning the device or passing it on to someone please make sure you manually delete everything.
Did your phone have a custom recovery ?

Factory reset is just for the data partition (apps, preferences for these apps, accounts, etc.).
It's normal that it doesn't touch your sdcard.
If you want to wipe your personal files, do it manually, or, as suggested, with "fastboot oem unlock" and "fastboot oem lock".
You could also wipe the sdcard in the "mounts and storage" menu in CWM.
wipe it from a shell with dd or rm
if you're unlocked already, boot into a custom recovery which will give you the option
the factory reset feature from within the OS used to also have checkbox asking if you wanted to wipe the pictures too. maybe you missed it or I'm not remembering correctly
If you reset it through Android's Backup & reset -> Factory data reset, it does delete photos and everything on internal storage. I've done it twice for my RMA's.
Resetting through the fastboot menu doesn't erase internal storage/photos.
You need to rick a box to also wipe the sdcard, it's pretty easy to miss.

So which one of you two is right?
Both... Same but different.
Although, the fast boot comment may be misunderstood. The fastboot OEM lock/unlock does work from a PC with adb interface.

Yep, I checked before sending in my RMA, as well.
I found this article online regarding Android phones:

Does anyone have any input on this ? It says a factory data wipe DOSEN'T actually clear the entire phone ?

Older phones did not clear the internal storage. Newer phones wipe the internal storage completely with the Factory reset in Settings. However TWRP has a wipe data option that does not wipe everything, just the /data partition. If you have any pictures on your phone, run the factory reset from settings. If afterwards the pictures are still there then it does not remove all.
If you really want to wipe the phone just Odin in a full factory tar image.
Hi all, I wish to know what will be the best way to recover the data on my HTC one m7 I before installing custom Rom missed out on taking backup and formatted the SD card partition too, is there any possible solution available to retrieve the data, I'm looking at photos as that is what I have the maximum and of priority and rest all is fine if it doesn't get recovered. Can any one suggest the best option available now?

Afaik, there is no way to restore data after a "format data". When formatting, your data is erased for real (all bytes set to "0") unlike a wipe where data is only flagged "ok to overwrite" and is still there (unless already overwritten by something else).

Thank you so much for your response @alray
Try GT Recovery from the playstore. You need root to make it work tho.
