Hello all,
I got a Nokia 625 that I am trying to fix however before I go on I would like to see if I can save any of the data.
The phone does not boot and its stuck on a blue screen that comes up just after the Nokia logo.
I tried a soft reset but that did not help at all.
I have not yet tried a hard reset cause I am assuming that it will purge all the data and I would like to save some images & videos stored in the phone.
So here is the question, is there any way that I can backup the data ?
The phone is recognised by windows as Nokia BOOTMGR or I can also get it to see it as a Qualcomm MSM device if that helps at all.
Thanks in advance !
forget it... next time learn to use OneDrive, SDcard or computer for backup...

Hi, first time post here. I have an unrooted Samsung Note 5 Verizon, I have been using Package Disabler Pro app to disable unwanted bloatware for months. The other morning I put the phone into ultra-power saving mode (for first time since PD Pro install) and it locked up phone. Upon reboots, it loads until the red Verizon screen and go on further. I did not have the phone in USB debugging mode (checked) before it locked. It is not recognized by my windows pc as a drive when connected by usb. (a Samsung device does show in the device manger under USB when connected). Phone is running Android 6.0. and i can get to the recovery menu. Is there any way I can still safely recover my data, before I have to resort to a hard reset which will destroy data?
I have also used odin to reflash stock image, and it still hangs on verizon red screen after flash.
Thank you for any advice provided.

When you use odin to flash stock image, have you tried booting into recovery and then wiping data? I know I had to do this on all my devices when I flash either using odin or fastboot.
Hi, I am trying to save the data before wiping the device first. I would like to access my data and save it before wiping system. That where I am stuck.

Well, unfortunatly, you are out of luck. If you were for example stuck in a bootloop because of flashing supersu binary, you can flash the old one and be back up and running, but, when you flash stock ROM you are out of luck...
If I have to go the hard reset route is there any software out there to try to recover some of my data files and images/videos after the reset?

I know you can recover dead hard drives and SSDs so I guess it is the same way, the only problem is that whatever caused your brick might still be there when you restore and if you have encrypted your device (which most, non-rooted phones are) you are out of luck.
Hello
I have a problem that hopefully somebody here can help me out
Long story short:
I forgot my alternative password from my Samsung Galaxy S5 fingerprint is there anything i cand do about it to save my data?
I have tried android device manager with no luck
I tried some software on my computer that claims to back up data but the phone needs to have developer options on to connect to it
Any way to turn on this setting trough recovery menu or download mode?
Any other ideas?
Its really important for me to save the data before doing a factory reset
The phone is not Rooted and no custom recovery
Everything is on the internal storage no sd card
Model:g900a
Thank you
Hi,
I've run in to some problem with my XZ3, H9436. I was restarting my device as i do from time to time but this time it got stuck on startup. I goes on normally until it starts showing the "xperia" logo in different colours and just freezes for some time and then reboots and it keeps doing this until i force it off.
I've tried to get into recovery mode by holding down power+volume up but to no avail. (Maybe it's the wrong combo?)
When the phone is connected to a windows computer it is being seen by the pc.
Pc companion sees it but don't allow me to do anything since the phone is locked.
The only option i can use in pc companion is the factory reset but that deletes my files and there are some .gpx files i would like to recover from the phone.
Am i out of luck or is there anyone who has any ideas that could help me get my files of my phone?

EDIT: Of course i would like to be able to repair the current system and not reset everything, but that might not be possible? But if it is that would be great.
Hello everyone, I'm new to this platform, hope you guys will bear with my limited knowledge and help me out.
So, I have a Moto E4 plus device which was working fine, until one day, I used up its entire battery and it switched off. I took it and put it on charging, not knowing what was about to happen. When the battery was charged to 70% or something, I started the phone and unlocked it, but in like 10 seconds, it restarted automatically. I didn't download anything, never rooted the device, it was in original condition. Now, the phone is stuck in restart loop. Every time I restart the device, it works for 5 seconds, and then it goes in a loop of restarting again and again. I went to the recovery mode, backup up all the internal data in an SD card. The backup shows 13 files of 2GB each with an extension ".backup". I don't know how to access them.
Then, I did a hard reset and it worked just fine with no issues at all. Now, I need those files as they are very important for me, considering they have the last memories of someone I lost (not playing the emotional card, I hope you might feel the depth of the situation). Can anyone please help with accessing these files?
1. I did restore the files from recovery mode from that SD card, but the same issue reappears again.
2. I have all the 13 files copied with me in my PC
3. I tried wiping cache partition, it doesn't work
Need one of the two solutions
A. How to access these backup files, considering they are 13 files of 2 GB each with ".backup" extension
B. Accessing the files in recovery mode (the phone gives only a 5 seconds window which is eaten up in unlocking the screen)
Kindly give a solution which a layman can understand , hope you understand.
PS, I never even turned the developer's option on & the data is important, not the phone
Thank you!

Most likely that they are only usable to recovery that they were created with.
Was this Twrp? or stock recovery?

It was stock recovery, but I have my phone accessible in that state also. Is there any possibility to create a custom backup without actually booting up the phone or accessing those stock recovery files?
like the title says I uninstalled the mentioned apps using adb and all of a sudden my camera stopped working so I decided for a simple restart and the device stuck in the loop ever since.
it restarts several times and open realme UI recovery and when I choose language it says " KINDLY REMINDER : system error, after select language, please select Online update(keep data) to recovery system, thanks! " .
So I did what the message said and I connect the wifi but instead of updating it says no updates found.
I also tried to wipe data but I got asked whether to retain contacts/media or format data.
I obviously tried the first one because I need the data but as expected it didn't work.
I am skeptical to clean format because I feel that I can still fix it with retaining the data.
I tried all the key combinations but only the realme UI recovery comes up . Please help me!
thank you
I don't think you'll be able to fix this without a full reflashing of the ROM using SP Tools and a format of the data partition from Recovery. You probably don't have access to full ADB now, if at all, and Fastboot won't help you recover anything. However, you should be able to rescue important files before you do this, as long as you have unlocked your bootloader.
Follow the steps here to install TWRP custom recovery. Once done, you can boot into it from fastboot by running `fastboot reboot recovery`. Once you're in TWRP, you can mount partitions so you can access them over USB from your PC.
Once you've got your important files transferred to your PC, take a full backup to be safe, then flash the stock ROM. This thread can help you do both of those things. Note that flashing the stock ROM using SP Tools will also restore the stock recovery. Once the process is done, boot right into fastboot and use it to reboot back into the stock recovery before letting it actually boot the ROM. Format your data partition (yes the whole thing). Now you can restart, and it should go through first time setup just fine.
I was going to uninstall these apps, but was too lazy. Guess lazyness is not too bad after all.

Unfortunately I had to go for the latter option of complete reset with the loss of data to get my device boot up . It seems the option to recover the device with data seems too complicated and not to mention the fact that this process is not without it's own risks. If you want an easy out from this issue I suggest that you complete format the device and have your important data backed up from now.
And Obviously I had data not backed up which I wanted on my device during this issue but it wasn't too important and I could let go of it cuz rest of my data was backed up.. but being the nerd I am, I tried to recover that data too.. but as I said it wasn't worth the time and risk for me so I chose the latter option.
Hope this helps! Do reply if you need further assistance !

for me the issue was like i just downgraded my device to the a.15 firmware after setting up i uninstalled the bloatware apps and some google apps which were not needed obviously and restarted my device and it got a bootloop, the issue of bootloop wasn't new to me i previoulsy had the same issue when i have downgraded to a.19 firmware. there is a simple fix, if you want to get rid of the bloatware apps now also you can use the disable command like.
(pm uninstall-user --user 0 ----package name---) this will not give any bootloop and can enjoy a part of RAM....
THIS WILL HELP
