Any way to retrieve files from Soft-bricked phone?

My phone wont go past the Samsung Galaxy S splash screen and the keys stay lit but no display. I'm getting ready to Odin restore but would like retrieve the pictures and vids I have on the internal SD card before I wipe it out- Is there a way to do this??
I can get the phone into recovery mode using the 3button/usb cord method so I know I can flash new firmware.
I can get Droid explorer to see the phone when the phone is in recovery mode, but Droid explorer wont show any folders/paths.
Is there another program that can see whats on the internal SD card while its in recovery mode?
Any help greatly appreciated!!
I had the same problem yesterday...weird.
Don't worry odin doesn't over write the entire internal memory so pictures will still be there. Even your internal titanium backups are still there. Texts are gone though. Look at my post called thank you in general forum to see what I did.

Relieved to hear that, going to do it now.
Thank you very much.

Well I bricked it....

Im hoping someone can help me with my nook. I tried to flash froyo, made a wrong turn and now it wont boot. I rooted it just fine but before flashing froyo I wiped the system and it just went downhill from there. My guess is its not unfixable because I can boot clockworkmod from sd card but I can't seem to get the froyo rom on that same card. I flashed the sd card with clockwork but when I go to copy the froyo zip my pc says there isn't enough space. Its an 8 gig card formatted on windows fat32 default. The pc recognizes the card as 7.4 gigs after format. So it seems once I can get clockwork and froyo on the same card I should be able to flash. Anyone have any ideas as to what im doing wrong. I can provide more info once im back home and would really appreciate any help or direction. I did root my eris just fine and I look back and realize I shouldn't have wiped the nook before flashing froyo.

L o l relax bro you are not bricked... the reason you can't copy froyo is because the SD is partitioned when you write the image...
Do this.
Copy clockwork mod 3.0.1.0 update zip on the bootable cwm SD after you image it. The zip should be small enough to fit on the SD if not then have 2 SD cards on hand. Once you boot into the SD flash the recovery 3.0.1.0 zip you copied.
Then remove SD and reboot recovery to make sure it flashed cwm properly.
At this point reformat your SD card and copy the froyo zip onto it. Insert SD card into the nook.
On cwm go to mount and format data, system, and cache. After you have done this then proceed to flash the nookie froyo
You should be ok. Good luck and give thanks if this helps you.

I was able to boot into CWM and flash the ClockWork Zip file then I removed the SD card and selected reboot system. It just ends up turning off and the power button wont turn it back on. Ive done this 3 times and the same happens. Should I be concerned with the CWM version numbers. The boot image is version 3.0.0.5.
Im clearly in over my head. I should have researched more before starting this project. LOL Im so confused Im second guessing everything now. Should I be using WIN32DiskImager or WinImage when making the Boot recovery disc. Maybe the Image I burn should be version 3.0.1.0 instead of 3.0.0.5. Maybe I need to just go back to factory and start over.

Thank You ax0r! I cant thank you enough for the time you took in setting me straight. I was swimming in information and you threw me a life line. This thing is awesome! I have a little bit to go yet to get it the way I want but it should be all downhill from here. Thanks again and the moral of the story is to take your time and research before starting something like this. Something I took to heart when rooting and installing my ROM on my Droid Eris but didnt do with my NookColor.
If you fixed your issue maybe sharing how with other newbies would be of benefit.
I'm assuming you just burned a 3.0.1.0 CWR image, copied the CM7 zip to that, booted into CWR, wiped your boot, system, data, cache partitions, and installed the zip?
Your right Im sorry. Basically this is the gist of it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938200

It is kind folks like you that make all of this such a great success.
I'm headed out to purchase my Nook Color shortly and it's nice to know that there is an awesome community here to help. I don't actually suspect any problems, as I've been reading and learning for a couple weeks now. Plus, I've hacked my OG Droid to death, so I have some experience.
Anyway, thanks for your willingness to help. It's refreshing to see.
Glad you are back up and running. I've come to the conclusion that if I have bricked mine yet. Then this thing is unbrickable. I've messed up many a times.
You are rigth,
With a microSD card in good condition: CWM + kernel images you can always go on.

[Q] Need fast help

hello, i was rooting my galaxy s i9000. and something is wrong here. evrything was okey finished, but phone allways rebooting when it shows programs starting read sd card and then it reboot and do same again.
If you are using an External SD, power the phone off (or do a battery pull it necessary) and take the external sd out. Then try powering the phone back up.
I've had the exact same phone symptoms from an external sd card dying on me before...

Need help with internal storage!

Well guys....i think this problem stems from me prematurely removing the usb cord. I Understand that. But here is the other couple of predicaments. lol Ok i'm on ICS Stunna 4.3 ......well after something went wrong i'm unable to "repair" my internal storage. Everything still works smooth....but i can't add things to my internal card. Every time i hook up to the computer it says it needs to scan and fix the card.Well the problem is starts to fix it.....but never does....progress bar never finishes. Tried this on 3 different computers. Nothing.So try to install a different rom....i have some on my internal and external. Always aborts in cmw....never finishes. So on top of all this Stunna has started acting odd. Likely read errors.....but problem is i can't switch roms! lol I have tried everything. I was wondering should i format both cards? But if i do that how can i back everything up if i can't access my card? Any help would be appreciated guys. Hoping i don't have to Odin back to stock.
Cliffs- Internal storage won't repair on any computer-Can't install anything in CMW because of it
I have the exact same problem now, as you do. CWM can't install any .zip files, I can't flash Abyss kernel, so it's just stuck in that end.
I installed ICS Stunner 4.5 coming from GB with full wipe. This happened to me after I tried to copy some files over to external SD Card and it failed, seemed like the phone froze (SOD), so I figured flashing another modem would do the trick (read it in ICS Stunner thread's 1st post). Tried to transfer the file over a cable, but same thing happened. After rebooting I just grabbed it from dropbox and installed the modem successfully. I went ahead to try and fix the mounting problem, so I plug in the cable and it offers me to scan and fix both partitions (internal and external). External card finishes successfully, but not the internal one. And after that I'm in the same situation as OP.
Any ideas anyone?
Enable usb debugging(setting-appl-development)
Connect to pc
Select to copy file to fr computer from notification
You will find separate drive letter for int n ext card
Rt click on int sd card letter n format(you can backup imp data to pc b4 this)
Hope it shud b fixed

Gonna try it now. Have lots of pictures to backup first tho
EDIT: Same thing happens as with scan and fix procedure. It starts and just sits there, nothing happens. When I try to stop "USB Storage in use" it just shows the spinner and hangs in there. Only holding the power button helps solve this. My guess is something in the internal SD card partition is broken... just can't say what or how to fix it.

Same problem^^^^ Not sure what to do about all this
Short story:
Formatting didn't work.
Long story:
Okay, so following the idea to format the internal sd card's partition, I achieved it not through Windows format dialog, but through the half-broken CWM. Both my SD Cards were formated (internal and external) in the process. So since I used the external one for backing up important info I had to use [email protected] UNDELETE to get it back (after booting to ICS). In the process the native SD Card mount service seemed like broken, I had to perform a few hard resets. Hangs seemed to occur whenever I tried writing to one of the cards. I downloaded multi-mount SD card app from Play Store and transfered AbyssKernel's .zip and now when I try to install it from CWM it says
Installing: /sdcard/AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchOriginalLogo.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...

And that's it... so basically back to the start. Any more ideas?
Please help if you have any ideas on what might work. Us 2 guys are in trouble...lol
I don't know if this will help or not but give it a try.
Enter into the download mode and flash any stock firmware using PC Odin. This way you don't need to access any of the cards. After flashing stock ROM, try fixing the internal SD again and if it still doesn't fix, send in your note to Samsung for repairs.
Sounds too simple to be working though but worth a shot.

Well for now the phone works, but it's stuck on ICS Stunner. I was thinking to use PC Odin or Mobile ODIN, but what if it doesn't work because the partition is corrupted in some way (as it is now, because CWM can't flash anything).
I'd like to hear more insight before I go the odin-way

Check out this reply from anti. This is the fix using the pit file option. Try Odin flashing of stock rom....but m doubtful it will work. Fingers crossed!! Hope it gets well for you both

I'm downloading an old GB rom myself..
While I am, I can share a thought: I feel that ICS is not yet ready.. at least not for me. Feels nice and fast but buggy USB transfers is a big no-go for me. Also after trying AOSP derived ROM, I decided to wait for a good Samsung edition ICS because all the little tweaks add a good feeling to the experience, I tend to miss them on AOSP or AOKP or w/e

Oooh thanks! Didn't know this. So now I'm pretty confident because if flashing conventionally fails I'll just repartition and get rid of all the partition errors. What do you know, I feel like I learned something new today
SOB! Just did the whole Odin to stock thing and i am stuck in a bootloop! lol
I think my problem is used a .tar instead of .pit.....where can i get the .pit?
Ye same happened to me. Reboot to recovery (volume up + home + power) and do a data wipe/factory reset. After that it boots. Rooted and flashed CWM just fine after that, copying my old GB nandroid backup to SD card as I write

Glad it helped!
Too bad for me, since I had recovered the latest nandroid with undelete software (cus external sd was accidentally formatted) and now I'm getting a MD5 mismatch Guess I might as well start fresh now, since the last good backup is like 2 months old... Another lesson for me.. always keep your nandroids safe
So everything fine now??

Yeah. After quite a time of failed attempts we succeeded. ODIN > Stock GB ROM > ROOT + CMW > Anything you like. No re-partitioning was needed in the process
i have same problem but more complicated. iam on stock GB and its happened after flash bad kernel
the case in detail's :
i flashed wrong kernel on my device previously and now when iam trying to flash another kernel even use ODIN or CWM everything going well and completed but when check i found the old kernel still. i tried many times with same results and no error .
- system can read/write/mount the internal memory but the new pasted files deleted after restart. external card behave normal and i can preform flash using files pasted on it.
- in CWM wipe/format/flash operations running well but no effect on device even restarted to CWM only.
- device has yellow triangle. is it effected?
- the devil kernel stacked in machine is 2.6.35.7-gb4846d2 [email protected] #2 and the build no. is jpkj4
system running normal but cannot keep any changes i do if restarted.
-system rooted and no problem with root
-can access adb
- ODIN behave same CWM, operation work but no change.
can anyone help me guys?
i did repartition the memory useing PIT for note butno change also
thank you all in advance
