I need to get Data from my Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-1747 and it won't boot past the Samsung Logo.
Someone told me to...
"Get TWRP image for your S3 model, flash image using Odin, boot into TWRP recovery, mount storage to PC and recover data."
I'm very new and sorry lol. Could someone help me with the steps necessary? I have no idea what TWRP is. My phone is not rooted. Is there a guide with photos or a video? What do I need to download for Odin? How do I flash?
My phone is in the most recent Android for it.

I went to the post and it said I need to download to my phone from play store.
How?
My phone is not rooted and is stuck in Bootloop.
Please and thank you if you could help.
Before you do anything, try to figure out if you can boot your phone into these 2 mode:
Download mode - With the device powered off, hold Home + Volume Down + Power
Recovery mode - With the device powered off, hold Home + Volume Up + Power. (Take a picture of your recovery mode because it will tell your bootloader version)
If you can't get into those mode, your phone is likely to have a bigger problem.

The instruction is for Samsung i9305 but it will work on d2att. To flash TWRP into your phone, you need to follow this instruction. (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/i9305/install). Also you need those files:
Heimdall suite - http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/#downloads
TWRP image - https://twrp.me/Devices/Samsung

The only way to flash stock firmware into the phone, is with the software Odin. It's basically starting your phone with a fresh firmware through 'Download Mode' with your phone (With the device powered off, hold Home + Volume Down + Power). It will erase everything.

There was a link in the thread to the official TWRP website with instructions for using Odin to install TWRP for the d2att which is the SGH-i747: : https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys3att.html
Download the tar version of TWRP from here: https://twrp.me/Devices/ I recommend starting with version 2.8.7.0 as a starting point.
Download Odin 3.07 from here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...ntid=1168421&usg=AOvVaw0aq_x8M8nbsqDFAFe9tFoy
Download and install the Windows Samsung USB drivers: https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows. I assume you are using a Windows computer.
Make sure the battery is fully charged. Open Odin, do not check anything except f reset time, click on the PDA box and select the TWRP tar file, connect the phone in download mode to the computer with the original Samsung USB cable, flash the TWRP. When you see the word reset, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, use the button combination to get into recovery. Once in recovery, mount the data partition and copy of the data.
WARNING: flashing a phone always involves risk and you could wind up with a bricked phone and/or loss of data. Proceed cautiously and at your own peril.
Thank You
Thank You So Much!

Yes it will, you need to figure out what's making your system bootloop and resolve it or wipe data and cache.

Any idea how to investigate?
How do I wipe data and cache on TWRP?
Would backing up Data but not system, help restore files like the memos, text messages etc?
Because I could backup the Data and then wipe factory reset and then reinstall the data backup.
How do you factory reset from TWRP?

The data is what makes the system bootloop in most of the cases and since you're not rooted it is certainly the data what's causing the problem so restoring it would solve nothing.
The option is there on twrp to wipe data and cache.
---------- Post added at 05:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 AM ----------
To inevstigate hmmm
You need to remember what you did before the bootloop happened
For example if you installed and app try to remove it and it's data using the twrp file browser.

I think you can try to remove Google Photos apps via adb and see if it does fix your bootloop issue. Since you have a backup, you can undo your steps. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559925.

Before proceeding, I recommend copying what you can to a computer by mounting the data partition. Then, I would create a complete backup (system and data). Once completed, copy the back to at least one safe place, preferably 2.
Now, try wiping the cache only and reboot. It may be a cache problem that is preventing the phone from fully booting.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to provide instructions to back up text and notes.

I wiped cache and still nothing.
Is there any other options besides factory reset?
Can the backup bring it back to the way it was or will it make it bootloop again?
I haven't used twrp for a long time but you could try restoring the backup and wipe the cache before booting.
Note that restoring your backup will overwrite what's currently in the phone storage.

The only option maybe you have is using adb to uninstall apps one by one and hope it fixes the bootloop. You can try maybe to clear the dalvik cache + cache but I think you have done that.
I have been in this situation before. It's not fun at all. The only way to backup/recover data in a modular way, is with apps like Titanium Backup [root] and Helium. Backup your app + data when the phone is working. When you have a bootloop, do a factory reset and restore the app data incrementally. They are really great apps.

Can you completely power down(hold the power button for 30-60 seconds) and power back on to get back into recovery(vol up + power)? And after you did the factory reset and all that, what did you install? Did you make a backup? Just need a little more info.

Yes, after the reset and cache wipe i didn't install anything. I did make a nandroid backup, but it's probably gone now. I reboot the phone and the bootloop starts.

So no recovery? If you can get into recovery your backup is probably there. If you can, check to see if your backup is there first. If it is, factory reset(data, dalvik and cache) then go into advanced wipe, wipe all 4(should be data, dalvik, cache and system - DO NOT DELETE INTERNAL!) THEN restore you backup and reboot. If you can't get into recovery, see if you can get into dl mode. From a totally shut down phone - hold both volume buttons then plug your phone into a computer(while still holding the volume buttons). If you can get into dl mode, then there is still hope, you will have to use lgnpst and flash a teenybin. The directions are here on the forum, but try recovery first(if possible) and let me know if recovery or dl mode works. Sadly, if dl mode doesnt come up, you may be in trouble.
I can get into Download mode. I've tried LGNPST but it doesn't wanna launch. Do you mean recovery as in CWM or Stock Recovery? I can access stock, I'm not sure how to access CWM.

So, do you have twrp installed? Or any other custom recovery? Not stock! Also you'll need a Windows PC.

Try this, before you restore the nandroid backup in cwm recovery wipe data, system, cache, dalvik cache
and last but not least do a "factory reset".
Once that's done go a head and restore the nandroid backup in cwm recovery.
There is a very good chance it will work just fine after doing that.
Good luck!

I think you have to flash it through your CWM recovery. Try to boot into recovery and hit install.Seems there's a backup and restore function through Rom Manager.
You may want to reflash your kernel too, just for the heck of it.

Hey I have a problem here.I have a dev edition Note 4. I have been running EMSpoilt's first ROM ([Rom][N910VOYU1ANI1][4.4.4] Stock Root Deodex/Knox-Free Updated 11/24/2014) for about 2 weeks now. It was running great smooth as butter until now. I tried flashing his new [Rom][N910VVRU1ANJ5][4.4.4] Stock Root Odex/Knox-Free) but my phone wouldn't boot up, it wouldn't get past the first Samsung screen just keeps restarting. I made sure to follow step by step instructions. Wiped everything but my SD card. Tried it 2 more times and nothing. Tried to wipe cache and all that. Nothing helped. So I decided to restore back to my backed up ROM. Once restored it started to act weird. My finger print scanner doesn't work and I can't download anything another than apps from app store...the phone is very glitchy and almost unusable.. almost like it has a virus. It did get pretty hot when I was flashing the ROM I hope I didn't fry anything. I tried and tried to reset things but no luck. I don't have a backup of stock Dev ROM unfortunately...is there a way to reset back to stock(out of the box state)? I still have root and TWRP recovery works fine.
Anyone help please?

If you want to get the NJ5 ROM up and running without issues I would suggest flashing the NJ5 stock restore tar file in Odin, then flash TWRP recovery in Odin. Once that is done boot into TWRP and flash SU, then flash the ROM. I was having the same issue yesterday and this fixed things for me.
+1 on what airmaxx23 has recommended. Caution: Make damn sure you ODIN the stock restore file intended for the DE, not the retail. If you just want to get back to a fully functional DE without the ROM then ODIN the stock restore file, ODIN TWRP and flash SUPERSU in recovery. You don't have to flash the ROM.

I am having problems with mine, too
After getting into trouble yesterday with a phone that stuck in Verizon logo screen, I was able to restore from backup.
Then I started noticing weird things that I believe were working a day ago.
I cannot download any email attachments, cannot create folders on sdcard, cannot install xposed or even install Fora offline dictionary files I downloaded from PlayStore. I never flashed custom ROMs on my DE, just flashed TWRP and then rooted it. I am still running original SW N910VOYU1ANI1. Screenshots and photos are saved just fine (burst shots on sdcard and regular photos on extsdcard).
Any Ideas? I've tried to restore from pre-root backup, then restored my image that has root and some applications but cannot move from there.

Here is what I would do if I were you:
1. Go into TWRP Recovery and do a complete wipe (system, data, cache, delvik). Do not select recovery.
2. While in TWRP do a factory reset
3. In TWRP, RESTORE the backup you mentioned.
4. While in TWRP clear cache and delvik again
5. Power off the phone and remove the battery
6. Replace the battery and boot
7. If the phone boots normally then power off the phone, boot into recovery and flash SuperSU (Do not try to restore any "image", just flash SuperSU.zip)
8. Reboot the phone

Go to "Wipe" then "Format Data" then type "yes" and hit "go". This will completely remove all data. Under "Advanced Wipe" check "dalvik", "system", "data", and "cache" and wipe those as well.
If that doesn't work you're going to have to start fresh.

When you're in TWRP and select Wipe, there will appear a "swipe bar" that when swiped will perform a Factory Reset. It is the first screen you see when you select Wipe on the home screen. Do the Factory Reset and then clear cache, delvik, system and data. You can do the Factory Reset before clearing cache etc or after clearing cache etc. It really doesn't make a difference in what order you do the Factory Reset, just do it.
If this process doesn't get you back to normal then another option is to flash the stock restore file for NJ5 availble in the Android Development Section. But, lets do the process I've outlined first.

I did everything up to the #7, then powered the phone. I am getting all bunch of errors like "com.sec.phone has stopped" and other I don't remember. It shouldn't be this way, right?

Glad you got it working. I'd have to see the error messages to try, I emphasize try, to determine what might be causing them. Often after flashing or using ODIN to install software you'll get an error message until the system has been rebooted. You should probably power off you phone, again, pull the battery, replace the battery and reboot to see if you continue to get error messages. You shouldn't be getting error messages during boot unless you have installed something that has turned a service off or has altered a service that the system is asking for (that's not technically well stated, but I think you get the point). Exposed Framework is great and enables users to customize many things in Android. But, not all the modules work the same on every device, and in fact some modules will not work at all on the Note 4. If you're trying to run a module that does not work as advertised then you should uninstall that module or not select that particular customization. A misbehaving module can cause problems that manifest themselves in funny ways.

Yes, extract it with 7zip.
I'm rooted on my Galaxy S3. Last month I made a backup through TWRP recovery. Yesterday when I restored to the backup, the restore wasnt complete. I tried to restore again and I encountered the same incomplete restore. My customized settings in the apps were gone and some of the apps I had backed up weren't included in the restore. Looks like something got messed up.
I then wiped cache, Dalvik, data and system. I even formatted the phone. I also did a factory reset. This messed up my phone so I installed a new rooted stock rom. So now, the phone is slow as hell and apps arent very responsive. Everything is laggy and slow. And the play store and youtube have slow connection speeds.
What should I do to fix this stupidity??
Did you try restoring a stock ROM via Odin?
I had the same thing happen before. Odin with a stock rom is all that fixed it for me.

Are you downloading over WiFi or cellular data network? The phone is running the latest rom without root? After flashing, you you immediately go to b recovery and do a full wipe?

This is really strange because a factory reset usually does the trick.
This may be a redundant question but was the phone flashed with the correct ROM? I see different variations of the T999 on sammobile.com's website.

Hi audit.. Its not a dumb question at all. The rom was the correct one for my phone. Everything was working fine up until a week ago. Its possible that my phone fell and maybe that caused damage maybe.
Not only that but restoring bsckups through TWRP doesnt yield perfect restores. All my restores have not been complete. Customized settings all returned to default and apps were rearramged differently.
Anyeay, just to make sure, how can I do a proper wipe without wiping out my custom settings and apps? Do I just wipe dalvik, cache and system?
You would wipe dalvik and cache only.
Wiping data wipes apps.
Wiping system wipes the rom.

Thanks for a speedy reply. Can you explain why my backuo restores through TWRP dont yield perfect restores? Custom settings return to default and apps are arranged differently.
I am not sure why that happens but I have used twrp on several phones, including the lg g2, nexus 4, note 3, htc one x, and Samsung tab without issue. Maybe you need to do a full wipe before restoring? Does the phone have the latest twrp?

Hi audit. Yes the phone has the latest TWRP. I downloaded it from the play store yesterday.
I got an important question. I backed up my rom a few days through TWRP as I said. Is it possible to open up the backup on my laptop and search for specific pics? I dont want to restore the rom, since as I stated, I have problems doing so. I just need to get those pics. Is this possible?
I am not sure but it is worth a try.
Humour me but is the twrp 2.8.7?

Thats right, current version is 2.8.7.0.
I don't know why it doesn't restore properly. Maybe try re-flashing twrp from Odin? Can't really think of anything else.

How do I reflask TWRP through odin? In doing so, would I risk losing my data, apps, etc? Is it safe?
You download the tar file for d2att, open Odin, put phone into download mode, put the tar file in the pda box, and flash.

Wait, when you say the tar file for d2att you mean the TWRP file, right? Hope thats what you mean because the way you describe it, it sounds like instructions on flashing the whole rom.
Where do I get the tar file for the TWRP app?

Thanks audit. Now, I'd like to know what app do you recommend to find out which apps are causing the phone to get so hot. Thanks.
Here's where I am. Have twrp. tried to go back to stock. I messed something up. Now when I reboot to bootloader it says something about a script and "running open recovery script" is at the top. It instantly reboots to 1plus logo and back to twrp. I can get to bootloader but not recovery. Any advice before I rma it? Thanks if you can help.
Do not try to re lock bootloader
So can you get to TWRP or not? You state you can't get to recovery? Can you useADB?

I flashed blue twrp now and i can get to recovery. But now any rom I load, even stock oos, I can't get any wifi. The codex twrp was messing things up. But like I said, now wifi won't connect no matter what I try. What a mess.

Have you tried Formatting the data partition? You might try that then do a system reset and then reinstall whatever ROM you want. Note, it will wipe all the data on your internal sd card, so you should transfer important files to a pc. You will also have to reinstall recovery via ADB.

What is the process to do this? I will definitely try it. What does formatting do? Thanks for your help
Formatting will completely ERASE your internal storage partition, so you will LOSE all personal files that are stored here. You need to backup your data first to your pc, etc.
Boot into TWRP and select 'WIPE'. Then select the button on the lower right, 'Format Data'. You will be presented with a warning screen where you will have to type 'Yes' to confirm you understand that you are deleting all personal files. Type 'Yes' and it will format this partition. Personally, I then go back and perform a factory reset after formatting the Data partition. I then reboot back into recovery and transfer over the files that I need from my PC.
Hopefully this will fix the issue for you.

Hmm..... Not sure then. I remember reading someone else was having a similar issue. It might have actually been in the liquid forum. Have you checked there?

Notta. I think something is messed up with it.
The way I fix the wifi bug. Flash oos And codeworks universal twrp. Then flash stock boot.Img in twrp then flash mgsik 15.2 then flash a custom kernel (I'm currently on new kernel v1.08. That's how I fixed my wifi bug. )
Don't know of that helps but that's how I fixed it.
Have you tried following the instructions for roll back here:
