I have a a720f here from a friend and the person forgot her password. know i know i can wipe data/factory reset thru recovery mode.
but i was wondering if i can copy all data on internal sd card to my pc thru some sort of software?
Tried doing research on my own but to no avail.

i have no clue its fully stock. nothing ever done to it. she is not into tech.
If bootloader is locked - in my opinion there is no option to backup data without knowing a password.
Unlocking bt will also wipe data, so in this case, this data is lost forever unfortunately.
what happens if i flash firmware thru odin?

You either need to Odin flash stock original official firmware
or re-flash whatever zip file rom you have flashed.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Your music should be in your internal sdcard, if its not there that
means that you selected to wipe internal sdcard and or you have
done a "factory reset" in stock recovery.
If you done either of those things you cannot restore your music
unless you have backed it up with dropbox, google, onedrive or
other cloud backup services.
Good luck,

Hello!
Yesterday I installed Resurrection Remix Rom and it worked great. So I configured everything to my needs including setting the security to ask for a pattern on Restart. So everything is encrypted.
After a reboot the phone kept crashing and I tried to go back to my old system. Somehow I managed to set the security to none so I can revert to my old system. I then rebooted to Recovery but in Recovery it asked me for a password. I never set a password so I don’t know what to insert in here. I tried various stuff but nothing worked. I also can’t reboot back into the system without a password. It looks like my phone is still encrypted.
Is there any way how I can decrypt my files?
Can i "convert" my old pattern into a password and this will decrypt everything?
And if I am ok with losing my data, how can I just wipe everything and install a new rom?
Thank you for your help!
easiest way to delete all your data is via twrp, select everything in twrp wipe section and execute. your phone will be completely empty now. reconnect your phone to your pc and copy paste the rom and gapps and flash.

Have you reflashing the stock recovery and doing a factory reset? After that you can reflash twrp and delete data. You can try if that works.

I read it on xda that this process resolves the issue and yes it has to be done via fastboot in bootloader mode. Stock recovery is available on oneplus's website.

I just flased the stock recovery via fastboot and made a factory reset.
After that I could reboot back into the system without any security question.
Sadly, all data are gone, meaning it did also wipe the internal storage partition. This is a pity but I'm really glad to have my phone back.

You need to flash a factory image which will wipe all data as I had the same issue I believe its the only fix as you need a full wipe to fix and if your going to full wipe your better off to just flash a full factory image and be 100% factory fresh.

If someone is going to format user data they might as well flash the newest factory image. It just makes sense its also preventative maintenance and can keep your phone running at top performance.

Flashing the image is fine. Locking and unlocking the bootloader is unnecessary and should not be done if you're just trying to format. Locking th bootloader while playing around with a messed up system is the perfect storm for a bricked device.

Oh definitely, I never would recommend to relock the bootloader that would be just asking for trouble. I replied to the guy saying to just wipe user data, which if your going to do that it just makes sense to flash the newest factory image and make good use of wiping user data and get back to factory fresh in the process that is just a no brainer.
I agree that locking and unlocking bootloader is silly, it can cause trouble, I'm aware of that, however that was the ONLY thing that worked for me in this case. I tried everything and the storage was still at 19 GB. I'm sorry if the method that worked for me is silly and unorthodox but for me that is all that worked. It's happened to me three times.
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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
