Hi guys,
My girlfriends s4 mini stopped while making photos. When i plug in the charger, it vibrates the battery icon comes on, but does not charge, just repeating it. I can get to odin mode, but cant flash anything, it freezes on Initializing. Cant switch it on it stops on the samsung gt-i9192 splash screen, then after a little time it starts over. There are thousands of pictures on it (very important ones). I dont care about the phone but i need to get the photos somehow...any suggestion appreciated

So my sister gave me her s3. It wont turn on and actually boot. Sometimes it will show the s3 logo and sometimes the Samsung logo. I tried booting into recovery. It will show the booting recovery in the top left but then it will shut off. I took the battery put and plugged it in to the charger, the light will turn red, it will vibrate and try to turn on but the light will disappear. I've tried another battery but the phone doesn't want to boot fully. The charger port is kinda loose and it's about 6 months old. Any help would be appreciated. Kinda know what I'm doing with phones and tried everything I could think of to get it to work -.-
First off, I'd like to start by saying that my phone is NOT ROOTED, and I did nothing to cause this (that I'm aware of).
I was in the middle of using my phone (browsing Facebook) when it restarted on me, so I turned it back on, and after I sat it down, it shut down. So naturally, I plugged it into the charger, thinking it was just low battery, and after some time, I couldn't power it back on without getting stuck on the LG screen. Most of the time, it doesn't even recognize that the charger is even plugged in, but when the battery screen appears, it jumps from 100% to 45%, to 0%, etc.
I've tried different chargers and outlets, I'm not sure if it's an internal problem or the battery, but I don't really want to invest in a new battery until I'm sure that's the problem.
The furthest I've got with this is past the LG logo and to my lock screen, which immediately shuts the phone down when I try to unlock it. I've tried doing a factory reset, which doesn't do anything either.
Please, tell me there's some way I can fix this myself! This phone is less than a year old and was a present from my husband, who will kill me if he finds out about this...
I've made a video of my problem, please excuse the background noise, but if you listen closely, you can hear a strange squeaky sound a couple of times after the screen goes blank. I'm unsure what that's about, but it's just started doing that.
Please help!

It sounds like you have soft bricked your phone. You can try flashing the original stock Rom. Every things that you need are here in the xda forum for download (look at the topic below yours by madmack, "fix the soft bricks, flashing back to the stock LGflashingtool") The flashing instruction should be with the tools.

Hello guys, this is my first post on this forum so i hope i don't post where i shouldnt.
So i was trying to integrate an android tablet onto my car so i can see everything that happens to my car real time with an OBD2 bluetooth diagnostic.The problem is im trying to integrate it so no buttons of the tablet are accesible. I got my hands on a cheap Vodafone Smart Tab 3G and i was searching ways to turn it on once it gets power. I managed (with the help of my dad, THANKS DAD !!!) to make a fake battery (a charger that connects back to the tablet and simulates a real battery). Now, all i have to do is make the tablet turn on once it gets power. On samsung devices if u hold down the power button it starts normally but on this device it just freezes at Powered by Android logo, so i dug up a little bit more and i managed to root it. I tryied then the ipod file modification. I tryied even to delete it and replace with the reboot file, still nothing. The charging animation dosnt show but it wont boot up either. Then i found out about bootloader oem on-charge 0 (or something like that, i cant remember, being searching for like 2 or 3 days) but the tablet dont support that either. Now im stuck with this. Tryied to find some custom roms to flash on my device but found nothing in particular.
So, any ideea how could i achieve this ?
Hello friends,
I’m new to this forum (or, any forum, really) and in desperate need of help.
Hopefully I'm posting this correctly.
In 2017 (I think) my mom bought a Nexus 5X phone. All was well, until suddenly it broke in 2019 and she had to get a replacement. There were a lot of pictures and videos on there (no SD card was used) that we do not have a back up of. (I know, that’s a big mistake...)
What happened: it just suddenly turned off and didn’t turn on anymore. When I tried to figure out what was happening, the only response the phone gave when I plugged it into my PC was a blinking red led underneath the screen. I figured the issue must’ve been with the battery. After a while, it didn't even do that anymore - not a single response was given.
It took me until 2020 to try to replace the battery with a new one. I think I managed to replace it successfully, carefully using two YouTube tutorials. When I held the original battery in my hand, I could bend it easily, so I expected that would solve the issue. But the phone didn’t give a single response to my efforts.
I also tried heating the phone as instructed in this video (with subs):
Again, without any success.
Since I didn’t want to give up on the stuff that is on that phone (precious memories of my cat who passed away at the end of 2020, for example), I randomly tried tinkering with it again a few days ago.
When I plugged it into my computer again, suddenly the red led started blinking again... And a few moments later, the Android logo lit up. Then the screen turned black again.
I noticed that when the phone was plugged in, my PC made this noise that recognizes something is in fact plugged in. However, it didn’t recognize the device.
After trying multiple times to hold down a few buttons, I first managed to get a screen that said “Firmware update”. It disappeared after a while, and showed a Google logo. I don’t remember exactly, but I think the time after that when I pushed the on/off button, the phone actually turned on and I could use it.
I could see all pictures were still on there. I immediately tried to copy them onto my pc but before I could do that, the phone shut off again and connection with my PC was lost. Battery was charged to about 70%.
I managed to reboot it a few times, but the time it stayed on became shorter and shorter. I wanted to try the debugging method and recover data that way, but it simply didn’t give me the time to do so.
A few days later, I still get the red blinking light and sometimes the android screen or a battery loading screen. Other than that, I can’t turn it on or get into safety mode, or anything like that. It *does* still connect to my PC, but doesn’t recognize the device.
TLDR; Nexus 5X shows blinking red light, doesn’t turn on and if it does, it almost immediately turns off again even after replacing its battery. All I really want is a way to recover the photos and videos that are on the device.
If anyone has any leads or tips that could be of help, they are most welcome.
