I have a Galaxy S GT i9000 and I managed to install CWM Recovery 2.5.1.0 on it after I accidentally selected backup (to internal sd)..
I want to get the data off the internal SD but miui won't boot. I have EXT4 filesystem.
if I try boot it never gets past samsung logo.
I havn't been able to use my phone for a month now because of this problem.
I didn't want to try fix it straight away when it broke incase I did something to lose all my data..
I was getting major FC's on everything i opened, it wasn't bad at first, but than FC's came more and more regularly, until I can't open any apps.
than the phone would boot loop after boot animation. now after trying to backup the internal SD, I accidentally backed up to internal SD. phone won't boot.
this happened at my god father's funeral "after meeting". I was using phone and suddenly it doesn't work.
I recorded very important video from god father's funeral i promised to make video for god fathers wife.
I really need my data and at least want to be able to mount ext4 from CWM recovery to copy data to windows. or somehow reinstall MIUI without wiping /data.
I thank you in advanced for your help.
I looked for a month and couldn't find anything.
There are 2 things I can think of,
1. Use ADB to pull from sd card, I'm not sure if you need to be in recovery or download mode, check it out.
2. When you format you phone you don't delete your sd card so it should all be saved. You will loose all you apps etc but not your data.
If you want to save the exact format you phone is in, try flash the rom again. If its through odin then you will factory reset. (Again you wont loose your internal sd card contents).
I've managed to get my data back now thank you for the suggestions

My phone died today and decided that it would like to perform a boot loop upon being turned on again. I'm just wondering if there's a way to save all my phone numbers and pictures off of it before using Odin to wipe.
The odin one click will just reformat the /data, /cache , and /system partitions leaving your sdcard alone.master clear I'd what wipes the sdcard. But if you have clockwork recovery you can go to mounts and storage and mount usb storage and copy it all to your computer before you odin
you might be able to mount usb storage with stock recovery as well, idk I never run stock so am unfamiliar with its options. Check though.
+1 to what studacris said. Using odin won't delete files. As far as phone numbers go, I would just sync them with google contacts.

If u have data backed up in recovery, I would recommend formatting boot and system partitions, and restoring only those partitions under advanced restore options. Worth a try before u went ahead with a cleanup process. This could help u get ur phone up so u can backup ur contacts.
Like people said above, pics would be on SD card and would be safe.
So i was monkeyin' with some new roms and i accidentally formatted sd card :/ lost everything. so i took my sd card out and put it back in my laptop, got everything i needed back on but my phone will not boot up. i can get it into recovery but then it will not mount my sd card....just want my phone back
-btw when i try to start, it turns on but just gets stuck at the HTC boot screen.
Wipe the SD, do not put in computer, format SD in recovery. Boot. Then reinstall the missing components mounted from recovery, reboot.
BANG! from my shooter...
Put the RUU zip file on tbs SD card and from hboot u can unroot it in a few minutes.
Then go ahead and reroot it again ...
But if u have ROM backups from ur phone in ur computer then put those on ur SD card, then from recovery just factory reset and then restore to whatever ROM u choose.

Try Booting your phone Without your Sdcard! That Worked for me once when I had a Similar issue!
If you Still have a Problem, Copy Everything onto your Laptop Again, then Delete Your Sdcard Again!
Next Try putting the Sdcard back into the phone Blank!
If it Still does Nothing, Try Copying the ClockWorkMod file back to your phone!
*Note*
Il Duces advice is Also Another route that'll Probably Work!
Good Luck!
Do this since you already have an backup of your data. Remove the card from your phone after you power off. Then format it threw your pc and restore factory defaults.. Then place it back into your phone and format it threw your recovery. Partition as follow
No swap
No ext2,3 or 4
Let the whole sd be fat/system.
Then put it back into your pc and place all of your data back on it. Then do a full wipe as in data,cache,davlik -cache and sd ext.
The flash your choice of rom & gapps and try to boot. Hoe this helps

Hello,
So I was trying to install ICS on my nexus one... and like the idiot I am I made a NANDROID backup of my phone right before continuing with the installation of BlackRose. I made a partition of my SD card in Clockwork Recovery. With 1GB and a 256mb swap.
I rebooted the phone and see that my SD card is empty. Which probably meant my NANDROID backup was erased?
Is there a way I could recover this??? I just want my SD card data back .
And like a bigger idiot, I went back into Clockwork Recovery and did a factory wipe, (I thought I still had my nandroid backups), I tried to restore, but there was nothing in the SD card.
My main problem is that I want to restore my phone back to what it was... before I partitioned the SD card.
Right now I have a phone that is completely wiped and I cannot restart it because the setupwizard is bugged and force closes when I try to skip plus I don't have a system keyboard installed or a system launcher.
Stop using your sdcard for writing data and try this while the sdcard is connected via a card reader.

While you're at it, drop the SWAP partition. A waste of perfectly usable 256MB. You can find plenty of places where it's explained, why SWAP is a bad idea for Android.
Hey Jack_R1
How do I delete the partition?

I've recovered the nandroid backup files.
My microsd card is completely empty.
Where do I go from here to restore the backup?
Do I make a folder in the root as clockworkmod/backup/ and put the files in there?
I've tried that and i keep get Md5 mismatch! Error.
I had some huge problem with my Nexus One and I wanted to start over completely, so I stupidly went to CWM recovery and hit format boot, cache, data, sdcard, system, and sd-ext. For some reason I didn't realize this would make my phone unusable and make it have no OS. So now when I turn on the phone it goes straight to the fastboot menu, so I can only access the fastboot, bootloader, and CWM recovery.
I've tried formatting my microSD card and putting a stock PASSIMG.zip file (located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312540) on my microSD card but the bootloader doesn't detect the PASSIMG.zip file.
Can anyone give any guidance on what I can do now?
Thanks
FIXED. This seems to happen to me so often-- things suddenly working after I already make a thread about my problems. But I discovered that the microSD card was corrupt so that's why it never actually had the PASSIMG.zip file on it. Everything is back to normal, and I restored factory settings :good:
Hi,
I have Samsung Galaxy S3 I9305 phone. It had a logo stuck issue. Then I rooted the phone and flash CWM recovery using ODIN3.
Then I made the CWM backup to the SD card. Then I wipe the dalvik cache and wipe data/factory reset. Since still phone is not booted I misunderstood the steps and mistakenly did the CWM format /system and format /data. then I did nothing. Now the phone is not booting. It only goes to model no display screen. I read that even when formatting data, It only deletes the table of contents(pointers) and not the actual data. Now please tell me that, were all photos in internal memory lost? Can I recover photos in internal memory using recovery utility?.
Wiping system means NO OS. Just flash a new ROM and you'll be fine. Also this dosen't need to be a Q&A Thread, it's better if it is just a Normal Thread.
Thanks for the quick reply. Actually my question was even though I formatted the system and data, Can I restore data in the internal memory?. I need only internal memory photos. I have read that I even formatted the data, table of contents is deleted and data is still available.
If its still there, flash the exact same ROM you flashed before the accident then if its still not there then use DiskDigger from GPlay. If DiskDigger can't find it then it can't be recovered ever again
Quick question Jeri. I have backup the ROM using CWM recovery AFTER the accident to external SD card. Back up has the following files:
boot.img
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar
system.ext4.tar.a
system.ext4.tar.b
It was the stock ROM(I mean original OS, which phone had when I bought the phone).
So please tell me that what to do next? sorry about my lack of knowledge of this area.
is any body there to help me on this matter? only experts can ask questions on this site?
I flashed the ROM using ODIN. I used the I9305XXUFNL1_I9305H3GFNL1_I9305XXUFOA1_HOME.tar.md5 file for flashing. But I'm not sure it is correct. But still my phone is not booting, and stopping at logo screen. What do I do next?
