Today I found my Bell Vibrant (GT-i9000M) with a blank screen and lit up buttons. I had not done anything other than root and lag fix a few weeks ago. Holding the power button brought up the menu to power off but it locked up when I selected power off. I had to pull the battery. Now every time it starts up it sits at the Galaxy S screen for a long time then goes to a blank screen and nothing happens except the buttons light up when I touch it.
I want to know if there is a way to get my data off the internal SD. I have some pictures on there that I do not want to lose. I fear my only option is to wipe the device and factory reset it.
Some help and advice would be greatly appreciated. I have spent the last three hours searching for a solution but I haven't found anything that might work without wiping my data.
Thanks
the data must go if you want to get your phone back
there is no way to repair the phone without losing data
Well the factory reset worked. At least it booted up anyway. I wonder what happened to my phone. It was fine and then I left it on my desk for maybe 20 minutes and all the sudden it is broken. :/
I have the same issue. How do i factory reset from here?

Guys i got the same prob,did factory reset and the problem still remains...what can i do???Black screen,some vibraton,and the buttons lit,but nothing else.Any advices plz??
You all may be suffering from a corrupted /system partition because of the lagfix applied. Read up on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9365294#post9365294 to see if that applies.
These are too complicated for me....i tried to do the lagfix,but it had loopback error,so i guessed it didnt do it.I rebooted my phone just to clear the memmory and play a game or something,and never got on again...just stays there vibrating.So i did factory reset and still nothiing.
I have similar problem. i9000 samsung screen appears, then goes blank, and appears again continuous cycle until battery is removed. Animated logo doesn't even start. I cannot seem to enter recovery mode. I can enter download mode (dwn vol, home, and power) and I tried to USB to my computer in download mode to try and pull the pictures off with ADB, but ADB doesn't seem to see the device connected in download mode. Is Odin my next option? Or does that only work with unlocked phones. I was on stock 2.2 that Kies updated for me.
Pleeeeaaase help. My children opening christmas gifts are on the phone and once i get the videos I can just send it off to Bell for full replacement. They have told me that once it gets sent out for repair my pictures will be gone.

I've had my sgs for almost 1 year , and except for rooting it i didnt rly fiddle with it .
On new years eve night i noticed my phone was closed, and when i tried to open it , it started going in this endless restart loop where it would show me the Galaxy S gt-i9000 start up screen and then restart.I pulled out the battery and the problem got fixed, but now it's happening again and it seems i cant fix it.
I read on the forums that this might indicate an internal sd card failure, and if thats the case is there any way of getting my data back?
Power the phone down then push the on button.
Then hold down the home key, the on key, and the left key in the down position and it will give you a fresh boot and upload the original settings.......
You will lose all your pics and numbers etc so I hope you have it backed up..

that will get you in the download mode...
If you are indeed rooted a last resort can be downloading the 2.3.5 stock rom from Sam mobile.. Put your phone into download mode as that guy said, there are lots of tutorials about this online then use odin to flash. As I say this is a last resort if nothing else works.

Use 3 button combo to recovery (Volume up + Home + Power) and do a factory reset and wipe cache. You will see them from the menu. You will not going to lose your personal data. You will just have to install the apps again.
At first don't make factory reset. Try first to wipe Cache, dalvik Cache and fix permissions (all from the recovery). If it doesn't help try flash new Rom (no wipe) or make factory reset. If this don't help either try flashing a 3 file Rom with pit and repartition.

Doing a factory reset won't wipe your pics and all.. it'll just wipe the 2GB partition that is used for rom and apps.. your pics are stored on the separate 6GB/14GB partition and that is not affected when you do a factory reset.. all your contacts, messages and applications etc will be wiped though..

If you have gone into recovery and cleared cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions, then the only option available now is to factory reset in recovery. You will NOT lose any pictures or music on your sd card. You will however, lose your installed apps, their data, your phone numbers and messages. Hopefully you have your numbers backed up with google or at least stored on your sim.
If this doesn't work, you will need to flash a new rom with odin. It's a 5 minute job once you've downloaded everything required.

Did as you said and its still not working, because i still have my waranty il take it to the " pros" instead of flasing a new rom.
Only way is to flash a fresh stock rom via Odin since factory reset wouldn't work for you.

Mate, all they will do (all they CAN do) is flash a new rom........ But, whatever - it's your phone and time.
Alright so I recently got a unlocked note 4 (N910T) and after i upgraded to marshmallow the phone began to reboot at least three times a day. I had a micro sd card in there and took it out for several days. That didn't fix it. I flashed the original rom but that still didn't fix it. So downgraded to stock 5.1.1. Doesn't reboot as much but still freezes and gets really hot. I also got a new battery just in case that the battery was the problem. I've wiped the cache partition and did factory data reset. I've tried everything but it still keeps rebooting constantly even when I'm not using the phone. Any advice because to fix rebooting and freezing it is a real annoyance.

Dont get his hopes up though. High chance it will not work as there might be an internal issue with the note 4

I am experiencing the same issues with my T-mobile Note 4. It started while running my stock 5.0.1 rooted with TWRP. i've had it for a year and half working GREAT, but last Thursday the whole slow, freezing and rebooting started all of a sudden.
Do you really think that it might be something physical with the phone?

My response to this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68559388&postcount=90
I tried what Trex888 recommended but it didn't resolve my issues http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68500780&postcount=96
I wasted many hours trying to troubleshoot with no ultimate success (monkeyass408 went thru similar issues). I'd recommend looking for a replacement device.
The note 4 will start to fall apart. Mine has and I've had it since OCT of the year the phone came out (14,15?) Battery dies randomly. I connect to charger and all the sudden it has 25% have two batteries. My camera can no longer focus. I am using this device as a backup because my s7 edge has a busted screen.

I too have had this problem of interface freezes, crashes, reboots. I'm using Nova on Tekhd rom 7.4. Clearing cache and dalvik/art helped A LOT for a few days and it doesn't happen as often now, but it is depressing to see it happen at all after months of rock solid stability. It often froze with the stock music player going with screen locked so that may be related to the problem.
The way the interface reboots appeared suddenly made me suspect an app update somewhere, not failing hardware. The fact that clearing the dalvik helped supports this notion. On my phone at least everything works well including batteries (I have 3) and charging. It could be different problems for people reporting these issues, some hardware related. I have considered reformatting my 200gb sdcard, but after clearing dalvik it happens so infrequently that I haven't bothered.

didnt work for me...lovely.
Edit: as soon as a posted it...it came up, wtf.
Hi I hope you all will be fine.
Model# N960U1
Yesterday I updated to andriod pie. After updating I got all new look nd software but one thing note that the mid section of my screen didn't respond to touch. Along with that some times screen freez nd after ten seconds it come back to life. I have tried wipe cache and safe mode start but nothing help. I tried another method like backup data nd factory reset after that phone start working normal but after twelve hour phone of use and encounter the same issue now u can't do that every time to reset. Please advise a solution..
Does it happen if you boot in safe mode? If not there might be some app conflicting. If it is still occurring in safe mode then try factory reset but no data restore. If the issue comes back contact Samsung for repair.

Have you tried backing up only your messages, files and photos without the apps and system settings then factory reset? Do that and redownload all of your apps fresh from the playstore then redo all of your system settings all over again. That could help a lot.
OK, using my phone normally rooted. I sometimes get random reboots and it bootloops. I have to force reboot a few times by holding power, bixby, volume down etc etc and it boots up normally.
This time, it did the same thing and force rebooting got me to the lockscreen but kept rebooting at that screen. I plugged in to the computer and forced reboot and it worked fine but for some reason but it made me start the whole setup process again as if I factory reset the phone but everything was still there except settings were reset.
Brightness wasn't working, so I tried to reboot to see if it would fix the problem but it started to bootlooping again and NOW I can't get past the lockscreen without it rebooting.
What do I do. I tried wiping cache in recovery but no dice. Can I reflash the firmware in odin? I don't want to lose any data. I know about flashing home csc instead but I'm rooted and I don't have the modified ap file from magisk, so wouldn't it just wipe my phone?
From my experience with the Galaxy S3 and S4, you will need to flash the firmware with Odin which will wipe everything. Use Samsung smart switch or TWRP to make a back-up of your data.

things have significantly changed since those days, but youre half right. In the new firmwares, there are 5 files. 3 of them have to be flashes as normal, but the last 2 are the CSC and HOME_CSC, you can shoose whichever of the 2 you want to flash depending on whether or not youll end up factory resetting. HOME_CSC doesnt wipe whereas CSC does.
OP, flash the HOME_CSC and the other 3 files as normal in Odin and you should retain your data and fix whatever part of the firmware is having a seizure. If the problem persists, then youre stuck with alternate methods of data recovery, including but not limited to ADB'ing into it while in the bootloader screen so long that you have ADB enabled in dev settings and then flashing the CSC to reset it. If THAT doesnt fix it, then youre prolly boned. Prolly a hardware issue at that point.
Where do you get HOME_CSC files from? Been looking for it for my AT&T firmware.
