[Q] Help with bricked phone! - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My S Advance is hard bricked and I am unable to bring it back to life, though it does go to recovery mode and download mode I've flashed plenty of firmwares from 2.3.6 to 4.1.2 and none of them work. Anyway I'm past that because I've bought a new phone now, what I need to ask is this: Can I somehow recover the data from my internal SDcard, and how should i go about doing so?

I want to add one more thing...
I know the problem of the phone not booting is hardware related, but i believe that the internal memory is intact. I believe so because when i go to recovery mode I am able to mount and unmout sdcard0, also using the "Install zip" option I'm able to view the folders inside sdcard0.

With CoCore you should be able do get it before boot. I think someone had similar question, and I left Odin flashable CoCore in that thread.
P.S. Find CoCore Odin flashable tar in the attachment.

If you are able to enter the custom recovery,as you said,you could do an nandroid backup and it will be automaticly safe to your sd-card.
After that you can open it up in your new or other smartphone with nandroid manager and you can pull out all your files and savegames etc. .

[Q] Internal USB formatted on Mac - now unable to boot/mount etc

Hi
Can someone kindly help me here please. I'm fairly new to flashing custom ROMs and was eager to try out the Ultimate 4.1.2 Jelly Bean ROM I found here on XDA. I installed and setup the ROM no problem. However, was unable to format the Internal SD for Settings - Storage. I really wanted to start with a new, clean system so I (stupidly) connected the Note to my Mac via USB Mass Storage Mode, and formatted the Internal SD Card using Disk Utility.
Now I am unable to use the Note. However, I am able to boot into CWM 6xxxxxx. Under Mounts/StorageI have managed to mount the Internal SD, I can copy files onto it from my Mac and format using Disk Utility. But I am unable to get the device up and running again. As I get messages in CWM saying can't mount SD, and similar.
I do have some Nandroid backups on my Mac and copied these across to the SD Card using CWM Mounts and Storage. However, as I get the message can't mount SD card, I am unable to restore the system.
Please help someone. I love my Note and want her back.
Thank you in anticipation.
What format did / does your mac format in ? It needs to be FAT32, try reformatting it in recovery
Also, the error mounting sd card, is this internal or external ? I get this error a lot but i can still flash from both cards.

Hi - thank you for the reply. I formatted it FAT32. I've tried formatting it in CWM under Mounts and Storage - format /sdcard, but get the message: "skipping format...Done."
Can I try anything else?
Thank you.

I should add that in desperation I have probably done some things I shouldn't have done in CWM including formatting system, wipe data and wipe cache etc. Therefore, am I correct in thinking have no ROM installed to boot from?
Please help, I really need to get this sorted and I'm really struggling, thank you.

format/system will remove the rom from your phone. as you still have cwm, flash the ROM again

I downloaded the ROM and installed Heimdall. I really don't understand how to use Heimdall. Is there anything else I can try? Or is my best bet to install Odin on a PC and flash the ROM from there? Do I need to flash this ROM? I really just want to go back to UK Stock ICS 4.0.4 and then root. Can you advise me please, thanks.
the procedure is the same. for that download the rom ICS or JB you want. and flash using PCodin / Heimdall.
best is Odin for me

run odin. put the phone in download mode and connect it. wait for the COM:X yellow icon (if not , drivers are not there, install them). select the ROM (tar.md5) in PDA tab, donot change any other settings. Flash

Hi - I flashed the UK Stock Rom successfully and the internal SD is there and fine. Thank you so much for your help - I've learned so much. One final question, the phone rebooted automatically after the flash, at this point it was still connected to the PC with a USB cable and Odin was open. On the phone I saw a message saying MTP syncronizing. I then quit Odin and unplugged the USB cable. Can I confirm that this will not harm the newly installed ROM on the phone?
Thank you again for your help and guidance
That's normal. Phone boots automatically because auto reboot is checked in odin. You have a perfectly working phone now ciao

[Q] Stuck Loading After Format

Hello, everyone. My first post, so I'll try not to make it terrible and try to keep it short. I've just stepped into the world of Android from using an iPhone. Currently using an SGH-i897. I rooted my phone, unlocked and went to install a custom Jelly Bean. I wiped data/factory, cache partition, dalvik cache and then did Format/system in Recovery mode. At this point I realized I made two really dumb mistakes. I hadn't installed ClockworkMod Recovery. I also didn't put my files on the Internal SD as I was supposed to, be on my external SD instead. I chose to reboot system so I could get back to my main system and fix what I'd done so I could continue properly. Welp, now I'm stuck at "system Corps" with the corn fella. The bar will finish loading, then just stays with corn alien. I can still get into Recovery if I want, but I'm not sure where to take it from here. I've read a few posts from people with different phones and it sounds like they have to flash official firmware with Odin or something?
Thank you for any help that can be offered.
*EDIT*
Finally got phone into Download mode again. I feel this is where I need to be heading, but I'm not sure what to do at this point.
If u can use the button combo to reboot into Recovery, u can go to mounts and storage and mount usb and connect to ur pc and copy ur rom over to ur phone's internal sdcard. And since u have the Corn Kernel installed...u have CWM Recovery. (Don't use Rom Manager).
If u cannot get into Recovery Mode, then get into Download mode and start over.
Take ur time, read, read, and be sure u know what ur doing. There r a lot of Stickied threads that contain a wealth of info. :good:

Try to install one click stock 2.1 ROM.. Google it, you vl find the Rom. Double click on one click odin after downloading, connect your phone to computer. Get your phone into download mode, click on start in odin. Tatz it. Stock Rom vl b installed

Here's a list of commands. I imagine you could push a rom over or try installing a rom via a USB drive. I pretty sure you're far from bricked. Make sure you flash the RIGHT one too. Don't go flashing versions that are not made for your phone

i would use the all in one toolkit.
first: erase cache
second: flash recovery
third: adb sideload
you need to be in bootloader and it should say fastboot usb at the top if it doesnt then press power button once.
if you are having trouble with adb you might have to reinstall the drivers. that can be done with the toolkit also

If you see the main thread you notice lot of people are reporting problems mounting internal storage.. why not keep an eye there...
Or maybe you use the alternate method or putting an alternate kernel the file in /preload/TWRP/
This does not require root, and the preload partition is mounted in the recovery instead of the sd card automaticly.
placing it /preload/ does require root, so go for /preload/TWRP/

Why is there no OS? Anyhow.. boot into twrp recovery.. connect phone to pc and run adb devices. It should show the phone.. then activate adb sideload. In cmd prompt, use command adb sideload "path or the zip file on pc". this should install the kernel/rom.

And do let me know if there is any other way from where i can just excess my data on sd card and internal card and i can use cwm as i have used that so many times once i can excess my data on internal and external card of my device i can do that.
Is there any terminal command on TWRP from where i can run supersu or any command so i can excess my internal and external sd storage .
I am sorry to bother u again and again but i hope you can understand i am not good like ur
Waiting for your reply
Warm Regards and Thanks
Easy way use pc Odin flash philz kernel. Boot into recover using three button method and restore cwm backup. You will get yellow triangle but that's easy to remove as well. If anybody is going to be flashing any Roms pc Odin and adb is a must have. If don't have a backup or a Rom on your sd card you can flash a stock Rom with Odin.
Experimental roms are going to leave you stranded most of the time and if people are going to flash roms labeled as such then the should learn how to recover from them before flashing

I recommend Odin(PC).
As an alternative, try this, should mount the external SD card.
This does not work if that sd card is partitioned.
Code:
mount /dev/block/mmcblk1 /sdcard/

The newest CWM is 6.0.4.9. My suggestion would be to delete LGFreedom folder off your SD Card and re-run the FreedomFlex app again as it will then download the latest CWM and you can just flash the recovery again. I had the same issue with 6.0.4.8
Problem is I can't get anything accept CWM, and I can't mount internal card, LG driver is already installed, and I tried to reinstall it, but he is still not seeing it. Any idea how to access it? If I have to have old Sprint ROM to install FreedomFlex again, I need somehow to transfer it to the internal memory and start the installation from there.

I don't quite get what the problem is.... Are you stuck in CWM or can you boot into the rom?
If you're stuck in CWM and don't have a backup or any other rom to flash (why?), you can always sideload a rom using adb (if you are stuck in a CWM bootloop look here for help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744482)
If you can boot back into the rom, follow my previous reply....
The only other option is to flash back to stock by following the tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644083

Can't boot back to the ROM, I have stock ROM downloaded on hard drive, but I thought if I make a mistake, I would easily copy it to internal memory, and install it from there. Problem is that I cant, adb devices is showing nothing, so I can't use shell to copy ROM.

Well it looks like the only option is to go back to stock from the link I posted and start again, but make sure you've got everything on your phone you need before trying anything... Also trust me CM11 isn't worth bothering with just yet as there is a lot of issues with it, but I'm sure it will get there as PlayfulGod is working on it

Tnx for help, but I spent 4 hours trying to solve why I can't reach internal memory. At the end, LG drivers weren't working, so I pushed manually to set it as ADB port , and finally found the phone through adb devices command. After that, returning stock was easy. Now, I'm on CM11, thanx on those links, combining with one more thread and the problem is solved.
