hi guys
my phone is bricked from the update to 2.2.
i cannot get the phone into the download mode; so i guess i just have to get it into service.
what info can be recovered there?
it's not that i need to recover anything (fortunately) ... but, to be honest, the phone has logging info for my email accounts, emails, notes, stuff i wouldn't really want to share
can this be recovered by a specialist?
thank u!
did you use kies to update if you did its still under warrenty
used kies, i don't think there is going to be a problem getting the phone fixed.
was just asking if the guys in service could get to the data stored in the phone
i have emails, passwords, stuff i would prefer not to be recevered by someone else!
if it's fully bricked, then there is no way to format the phone to remove your personal info
the guys at the service center with their JTAG machines could recover those files when they fix the phone.
most time they wouldn't care, the'll just go ahead and flash a new ROM and wipe everything
but there is always the chance of an evil tech lurking around to seek for personal info to use for whatever devils plans they have in mind.
thank you allgamer
thought so ... that's why i kept trying to restart it.
tried bunch of button combinations, but i'm not able to put it in download mode

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting on these forums and I'm surprised I haven't done so quicker because these forums have done much to help me out in regards to my Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000.
My question is: I just did a hard reset on my phone and I've managed to back up everything on the phone so that I could restore it. Everything has been restored as I hoped, except for messages.
I managed to get Samsung Kies to work for my Samsung Galaxy S [if you need help getting it to work I may be able to help you] and I created a back up of my Contacts, Calendar, Memos and Messages. The first three have worked perfectly and I have been able to transfer the saved data from Kies back onto the phone with one click.
Unfortunately, messages seemingly cannot be transferred. I have the .SME file but there is no option on Kies to transfer the messages to the phone. Is there no way to do this? My messages are really important to me and now I can no longer access them on my phone.
Thank you sooo much in advance for any help you can render!
P.S. If you need help fixing Samsung Kies, just leave a reply or Private Message me, whatever you like.
P.P.S. Sorry about forgetting to put a thread title. I'm not sure how I can change it.

You're talking about the title?
Hmm
Bump! I desperately need help with this!
I have exactly the same problem
This is really strange.. I tried nearly everything but couldn't restore my messages
@MSoud: Have you found an answer? Thanks for sharing
Also need help with this problem
Spoken to several (hundred) people and there is currently absolutely no way to restore messages saved through Kies.
Unfortunately, the messages are lost... forever
ever
ever
ever.
Well not 'ever' per se; you can still access them using the Kies program, but who is going to do that? I've seen my grandmother get up from a bucket seat quicker than it loads.
my g1 was DRC92, I managed to downgrade with not too much effort (the <enter>reboot><enter> works) now when it came to starting up it asked me to input my g mail details. Did this but couldn't sign on thanks to no wifi.
After days of messing about (most of the time spent in adb) i'm giving up and posting for help. ADB always says offline so i cant do anything with that i have no other lead to try and have tried 2 computers.
I don't know anyone with Tmobile so cant borrow a sim.
I did manage to get GPRS up by pressing menu on the signin screen then deleting all the APN's but t-mobile uk then changing that to my networks (o2) details the Symbol pops up and i get the arrows like data is being transferred but i get the error signing in. is it not allowed to let me sign in on 02? is there something not allowing me to sign in on o2? I'm really stuck and have been trying for 2 days done LOADS of research but nothing so far has helped.
Its not rooted (just got it so not 100%) is there anything i can do to bypass this screen as i have tried a lot even putting a custom rom would be fine with me if someone can link me to one that lets me avoid signup but again not too sure if i can install it if i need to be rooted...
Thanks for any help its much appreciated.
Wouldnt you know it as soon as i post gmail lets me sign in problem solved. Thanks for looking maybe custom apn settings will help others that cant do the adb thing?
I'm in the same position as you. Only i'm on 3.
I took my G1 back to 1.6 so that i could flash to Cyanogen6 and i stuck on that screen (as it claims no connection could be made).
Is there any little things you did? Been half a day like this now.
And i also can't get ADB to work. It see's my phone, but claims "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
EDIT: Read the details on APN setups and i have 1.6 working! Thanks man! Owe you one
Glad it helped, I actually did the whole APN thing as soon as i got the phone so i should have remembered but i have a really sucky memory :/
Anyway this should save people messing about enabling wifi and such through adb Glad it helped it will save someone else a lot of messing about too i hope
Long story short, the phone was acting up a bit, I was drunk, so I went to bootloader and accidently instead of just doing proper reboot from there, I did factory reset :crying:
Is there any way to try some "undeleting" software to salvage whatever isn't really overwritten yet?
I tried couple softwares I've used to undelete files on PC with no luck, they can't see the One since it doesn't get it's own letter by the OS when connected, I also tried Wondershare Dr.Fone which is meant specifically for phones, but it can't see One either, same reason apparently.
All the apps in Google Play that should fit the bill require root, and mine isn't rooted and would rather keep it this way than root it.
3 days worth of photos & video from Ruisrock festival gone :crying:
I think you can't found your deleted file...
Yes, you can. Here's some HTC phone data recovery guide which you can try

hope this helps.
I have a HTC M7 which won't connect to Moborobo. I have two other phones that do. The M7 keeps coming up with a screen that tells me to put it into usb debug mode but it already is. The phone is rooted and unlocked. I thought this maybe the problem so I was going to relock the phone but read that I can clear everything and possibly even brick the phone, hence why I am now running it past the people here. I just want to transfer all my contacts, sms, data, photos etc to my new phone as well as perform backups, and I have found this program to be awsome in doing that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was told there was a Note 5 at work last week and told no one can use it at is broken. Up for the challenge I thought I could root it, custom rom etc etc and all would be good.
Unfortunately I think this phone may be unusable however if anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to try.
The phone was previously used by an employee who left over a year ago, went overseas and is not contactable. This same person set up the phone with their google account.
It looks like a factory reset was done to try access the phone however this presents the problem that now the phone states "this device was reset. To continue sign in with a Google account the was previously used on the account."
This means I cannot get into settings, developer mode, usb debugging. Without this I cannot root the phone as I keep getting a fail on Oden when I try load cf root. Also cannot load TWRP through Oden.
I have tried reloading the latest samsung firmware but even with this I am still asked to Verify the account before proceeding.
I've tried a bunch of hacks from various Youtube videos but it looks like Google has patched all the previous solutions.
Pretty much have hit a wall. Anyone with any suggestions (if possible) greatly appreciated.
