I know there are multiple threads regarding this, but non of them have a solution for me.
I can't go into recovery mode, holding the buttons only refresh the screen that says "Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100, N7105".
However, I can access download mode, from what I understand, everyone is saying you cannot restore or recover any internal storage data if you go fix your phone through Odin. Is there a work around? Can I get at least recover some of the data on the internal storage before fixing the problem? Maybe a recovery OS like live CD's are used on PC's?
How it started: I inserted a very old SD card into the phone (note 2), not sure what was on it that caused this, but when I turned on the phone, it was stuck at the Samsung logo screen. Removing the SD card didn't change anything.
Thanks

Hi, i am new to XDA.
Recently got my SGS and everything is excellent, could not be happier, however i am at a loss on how to get my phone connected to Samsung Kies.
I can access the device using USB mass storage mode and debugging mode, but when it is set to Kies mode my SGS keeps showing that "preparing for Samsung Kies" or what ever it is screen and keeps flashing it on and off and will continuously do this until i remove the USB cable.
Anyone else have this issue and anyone know how to fix it?
Cheers!

Install teh latest Kies form Samsung Firmware Website.
Try this first.
Then if no joy.
Remove the sd card and try again.
If no joy then format the internal SD Memory usually solves the problem but remember to backup your applicatons to external SD card.
Hi. I have a Samsung galaxy S i9000 running a Jellybean 4.1 custom ROM. androidadvices. com/ update-galaxy-gt-i9000-stable-jellybean-411-firmware/#.UDJOV91mT9d
Everything's working fine until today when my laptop (Win7 OS) froze up while I was formatting the internal sd card of my phone.I restarted the laptop and phone and the internal sd card cannot be detected by either device anymore.
I tried to format the sd card multiple times to no avail. I tried to flash stock GB ROM. ODIN can detect the phone but cannot complete the process. It fails on "Setting Up Connection".
Up to the above process I was able to use my phone (it turns itself on, just can't use internal sd card). However, I made a stupid mistake of doing factory reset, cache wipe, and dalvik cache to reflash the JB ROM in hopes that it will fix it. Now, my phone is stuck on the Welcome screen (one with Choose Language and Start to setup) but the touchscreen isn't working so I can't select Start. The buttons on either side of the center button works, though. Only the touchscreen function is not working.
Now obviously, USB Debugging is not set up on my phone so I can't do a lot. My first question is: Is there a way to setup USB Debugging using ADB or from Recovery?
Additional info:
Recovery and Download mode are both working, although like I mentioned above, I cant reflash stock ROM because of no usb debugging and it fails in Odin. File Manager can be accessed from Recovery but it has no internal sd card directory. External sd card is ok, though, as well as the system files. But cannot install from internal sd card (obviously), cannot format sdcard, or do anything that has something to do with sdcard. It gives an error "E:\ can't mount sdcard"
When I connect the phone to the computer via USB, the phone "knows" that it is connected because the notification beep sounds and on Computer, it shows a new drive name (F but it says "Please Insert a disk into Removable Disk F.", which I believe, means it can detect it but cannot mount the storage.
I can also use adb.
So my questions are:
-How do I get the touchscreen functionality back?
-How can I enable my internal sd card to be mounted on the phone again?
-(same as above) How do I enable USB Debugging from adb or recovery?
I know I have a lot of issues on my phone but I would really appreciate it if you can help me. Thank you.
Did you find a solution?

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy s4 mini today using the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
It rooted fine, but afterwards I kept getting the message "SD card safe to remove" and everytime I try to mount it I just get that pop up again.
I thought maybe I fried the card, but after testing it out on a separate phone it was fine and was easily read.
The only option I have in the storage settings is to mount the card and it doesn't get recognized when plugged into the pc either (when inside the rooted mini, worked fine on galaxy s3 my friend has).
In order to try and fix it myself. I've tried;
1. Formating the sd card (in the other phone and via windows)
2. Resetting my Mini to factory settings (ended up just losing all my data and still stuck)
3. Unrooting
4. Rerooting
I've googled my problem but the results we're sort of useless. I know my card has worked in this phone for months without issue and it only popped up immediately after the initial root.
As for the SD card it's a samsung micro 64gb hd.
Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated, seems my phone has bested me and I don't know what else to try...
Howdy,
I'm having a strange problem with my totally stock S3 with the latest android update. I found it dead in my pocket the other day. It was totally unresponsive to the power key.I tried about 5 different batteries to no avail. When I plug it into a car charger, it shows an empty battery with a frozen 'thinking' circle, then turns off. When I plug it into a Samsung wall charger, it does the same 'frozen thinking circle, ' then appears to charge the battery. While it's plugged in to the samsung charger, I can turn it on. It goes through the boot screens, but crashes during the Sprint splash screen. If I unplug the charger, it is completely unresponsive again. I COULD boot into recovery mode (with the samsung charger plugged in), and have tried wiping the cache. I don't want to factory recover it because the data on the phone is more important to me than the hardware. I can't get it to boot into safe mode.
Today I flashed the firmware with ODIN. ODIN says it was successful, but the phone still has exactly the same problem. If there's no way to fix it, is there any way to pull the data off?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Recovering data from hosed phone
Since your data is so important to you, don't flash anything else until you do the following.
If you have data on a removable SD card, take it out! Get an SD card reader if you don't already have one and make a backup of the SD card contents on the PC. Also, leave the SD card out of the phone until you get it working. It could either be part of the problem or something else to get hosed.
See if you can use adb to get the data off while the phone is booted into recovery.
Make sure the phone has been on a charger for a couple of hours (data cable do charge, but slowly).
Using the latest supported ODIN for your phone, try flashing an Android 4.1 stock rooted rom (to avoid KNOX bootloader), and the newest Clockword Mod recovery and the newest modem. Boot the phone up (hopefully it works), update PRL and profile, don't update anything else, and then you can flash your preferred ROM. No flashing stock ROMs that are 4.2 or newer, risk of getting KNOX bootloader which you DON'T want.
Thanks for your reply. The SD card is out, but unfortunately most of the data I want is on the phone's internal storage. If I'm not already rooted, will ADB work at all? I don't suppose there's any way to remove the internal storage and graft it into a working phone, is there?
Recovery mode adb

Sorry for the delay, been busy.
adb while in recovery should give you root even if you haven't rooted your ROM. I just tested it with CWM. I am rooted, but I didn't have to su like I do when I am using adb while running the ROM. Recovery mode you are started off as root. /data isn't accessible until your use the menu option to mount it (don't be under /data when you do it). adb pull your files and then cd out of /data, select umount and then you are done recovering data.
Hi everyone...i' ve bricked my lte and i need some help...
I transferred some photos from device memory to sd card and then some songs that were there started to have ''unsual'' capacity about 2gb or 3gb and the song names where changed in symbols.
Through restarting the phone about 2 or 3 times the rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/rom-t3030976) started to crash.
In the sd was another custom rom (CarbonRom) so i decided to flash it. When i tried to install the rom zip file, after deleting everything from device memory, couldn't restore anything from sd card.
My problem is that i have no rom in device memory, my device can't be indentified from usb connection (no ODIN connection) and my sd card too.
Sd card when was connected with laptop via usb adaptor for first time, a message appeared and sd needed formatting and i couldn't access it. I tried to find a solution as far as mtp protocol is concerned but with no success.
Is there any way that i can fix it? Thanks in advance...
Can you access download mode ? Remove battery, wait 10 sec, put it back on and press-hold volume down + home and power keys @ same time.
If u get a screen where it says press vol up to continue just do that. Using Odin flash a stock firmware. You can download stock firmware from sammobile.com.
Odin connection made! New cell back in my hands! Thank you!
