Hello.
I own a Note II which lately seemed to have some problems.
In the last few months, it used to restart somewhat spontaneously (it seemed that it rebooted when its processor or RAM were too busy, but this wasn't a rule). During one night it probably rebooted and next morning I found it stuck on the first boot screen (the one with "Samsung Galaxy Note II").
When stuck on the boot screen, if I press the power button for a few seconds, it turns off. If closed, it gets to the boot screen and gets stuck there when I press the power button. When plugged to power, it gets stuck at the screen with the empty battery that has a loading icon in the middle.
I manage however to get it into recovery mode, however, in this situation, it can't be seen by the PC, unless I put it in adb sideload mode. When stuck on the logo screen, it is seen as mtp device.
In the recovery mode screen, there are many errors (can't/failed to mount /efs, /system, /cache, /cache/recovery/last_recovery, /data, /data/log/recoverylog.txt, /cache, /cache/recovery/log, last_log, last_install.
In Windows, the PC doesn't recognize the model, however, in a virtual machine that runs Linux, it is correctly seen as Note II when in adb sideload mode, but Linux is not able to mount its storage.
I have also deleted cache, tried Samsung Kies and Note II Toolkit.
What I would like to do is recover the data on it. Do you think it is possible, and if yes, how?
Thank you.
Sounds like a failed memory chip to me.
any answer now?

No, I don't have access. What I want is to recover the files on it, if possible.
This may be a problem with the power button. if you can go into download by pressing only the menu button + volume down is because the power button is always pressed.

Sorry i think your partitions broked. I think you cant recover your data. There is has only one solution. Odin and Format....
My device too has pc cant detect my phone. I tried different cable without samsung usb drivers. Pc succesfully detected the my device.
By the way i installed lg usb driver because of someone's phone is lg and they need format.
I think there's no way to recover your data now.
BTW what recovery are you using?

hi. I encountered a problem on my phone that doesn't boot properly.
When i tried to switch on my phone it showed at first the welcome msg "Samsung S4 mini gt-i9192" then after that, a pitch black screen, could not properly boot. But i learn that it does not turns off after the screen turns all black, i have to press the power button first to turn off the phone.
This problem started when i installed an app with some compatibility problems.
I wanted to root my phone hoping that can solve the problem, but then again a problem occurred when i tried to connect my phone to my laptop. It fails to install MTP usb device to my computer. I tried connecting it again provided that samsung kies was installed but again failed to connect my phone. Therefore i cant root my phone because i cant copy the files needed to root to my phone sd card.
I tried reinstalling kies, installing mtp drivers but nothing happened. I tried also restoring the previous boot image, restoring factory settings using recovery mode. But then problem still exist.
And fyi my phone can't mount any external sd card using recovery mode. And i think it was not in a debugging mode.
Phone: samsung s4 mini gt-i9192
firmware: i dont know
So basically, the problem is:
my phone wont boot,
i cant connect it to my pc
and i cant root it.
How should i root or even flash my phone when i cant connect to my computer? Do you have any idea on how to solve this problem? Any solutions or suggestions would be much appreciated. tnx.

Have you tried putting the phone in download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power) and then connecting it your p,c , if not give this a shot it should pick up the drivers , once done , take out the usb cable hold the power the button to shut down and boot up .
since you have not mentioned your OS am assuming it is windows , try taking out Kies via some software like revo uninstaller which will remove all directories plus all registry entires then reinstall it if you really need it.

dial *#0808# from your cell this would take you in usb settings, tick both mtp+adb , reboot , if they art already ticked uncheck them and check them again.

yah, thats what im thinking. i just brought this here hoping to solve this problem without going to a shop. thanks anyway.
aac. To me put your phone in download mode then use moborobo(a windows software) . Just open it and it will install the driver. If it dies not work then use adb installer . Remember you should have only any one of the software at one tim means either moborobo or kies or adb installer
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app
btw have you tried to boot the phone in safe mode ?? if it boots in safe mode it is still fixable without going to service center. power down , power up+ tap the menu button 3 or 4 times at THE same time to boot into safe mode if it boots into safe mode that means the hardware and OS is fine if it does not well then your out of luck.

Tried flashing a custom rom?
I hope I didn't end up with the proverbial brick, but I think I did. I was trying to restore my D-850 G3 to a native CM12 state to give to a family member. I did a good job with it but got stuck on not being able to change some settings. So I decided to wipe the cache and do a fresh install of CM12. I got far too aggressive and ended up wiping out everything. I have no recovery file on internal or external storage that I can access, and it appears the entire operating system is gone. I can't boot into recovery. When I try Power+volume up, nothing happens. I just get the LG startup screen and it's locked there. TWRP was on the phone but now I don't know if it is or not. If I could get to a menu and flash TWRP then CM12, I'd be OK I think (I just did that on the OnePlus 3). But I don't know how to get into the bootloader. I can probably find another way to load files onto the microSD card if that's necessary.
I tried downloading and using various LG support tools but I can't even get it recognized on USB - no adb, no fastboot, no way to get to anything.
I'd love to be able to rescue this phone from death but it's looking bleak.
Is there any hope here?
Do you remember which software you used?
I tried it on my laptop and I know it works with other phones (that aren't bricked), but all the G3 does is charge.
I installed LGMovileDriver_WHQL_ver4.04 and nothing.
Also LG PC Suite and it doesn't see anything.
I'm on Windows 10 - I do have an old PC running Win7.
If I could just get the device recognized via USB, I think it's salvagable.
To enter twrp its "power" + "volume DOWN"

I wish that worked but only resulted in the LG splash screen staying on until I removed the battery.
So my screen blacked out and I would like to attempt and retrieve the information off of my phone. I have an idea to use the CWM I have installed on my phone and from there mount it. But since I cannot see the screen, I was hoping somebody could tell me the number of presses of each button so I can mount it. Thanks!

not sure if cwm will help, but twrp 3 will definitely help, i want you to boot into download mode and flash twrp 3 using Odin, and then boot into recovery.
TWRP 3 has MTP enabled by default, so when you're in TWRP and connected your phone to PC, you will see your phone on PC and will be able to copy anything you want.
also you can use adb pull commands but it requires usb debugging on in your rom.

yes, you will do it blindly, but it's not hard.
you press power + home + volume down for 3 seconds, then press volume up, and connect your phone to PC, then flash the TWRP 3 using Odin,after the flash is done, remove battery, and insert again, then hold the power + home + volume up for 4 seconds, the release the power and keep holding the other 3 buttons for another 3 seconds then release, by now it should be in recovery mode, now connect to PC and you should see your phone and all its content.

good question.
he can't do it in two cases:
1- if he is using android 6.0+
2- if he is using a password, PIN or a pattern in his lock screen.
i believe he should have tried your suggestion already, it would be a shame if he didn't because it's an Obvious thing.
however, i should have mentioned that as well...
Hey,
I've tried rooting my SAmsung A5, however, I somehow cant access the teamwin/twrp menu.
I put the SUFile on my phones internal storage, USB DEBUG mode is on and OEM Mode as well-
I've flashed the twrp file with odin on the mobile successfully, however, now I'm stuck.
Whenever I press the volume up, homebutton and powerbutton after leaving the download mode the mobile just restarts the whole time and never accesses recovery mode until I release the keys and afterwards the phone just boots like usually, when I restart the phone and try to access the menu again a menu opens which says no command or something like that...
I also bricked the mobile after trying a few thing but restored it to stock firmware again, however, rooting still does not work..
can someone help me out?

Sorry, you are in the a5 2017 forum not 2016. Anyway I think this should help you. DO NOT use the twrp files from there though. https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535
So my Note 10+ screen broke so that I can only see the top 15% and only touch the bottom 60%. I booted into TWRP to backup everything, and now I'm in a situation where I can't turn the thing off. I am unable to press the shutdown button, only the download mode and recovery mode buttons. I am also unable to press the ADB side load button to send a shutdown command. It will be quite some time before I am able to fix the screen, so I don't want the phone battery to be sitting dead and degrading for a month or more. I already tried draining the battery and then plugging it in to charge, but the phone automatically booted into TWRP.... hardware key combos only reboot, they won't shut down...
Does anybody have an idea how to power off my device? Or to reboot into system or gain ADB access without being able to use the touchscreen? Thanks for the help
TWRP should allow you to use adb commands already.
You can use fastboot continue

I am trying to use adb from another Android device to the broken device using an otg cable, but the ADB otg app does not recognize it. From my memory, when I had tried to use adb in TWRP I always had to go into advanced and press the ADB side load button, but maybe this is different with fastboot? Unfortunately I do not have access to a computer right now, or a mouse for that matter.

What are you trying to do exactly?
A bit convoluted but ...
Volume down + Power - forced reboot, right after vibration with USB cable on switch to Volume Up + Power . maybe boot to recovery !?
Odin - Set get system Info on - force reboot ?

Thanks for the recommendation, but the problem is that I am stuck in recovery mode. I am able to boot into recovery and download modes, but not into the normal system mode. If I could boot into system mode I should be able to use the lower half of the screen to shutdown the device, or use adb.

Yes, I understood that, last opcional on recovery is shutdown?
Just press up and then power?

Unless you can't boot to the default recovery? That's why I suggested Odin.
