    Post [Q] How to recover data and reset flash counter when phone won't boot

    Nice! My list of pulled partitions matches the one you provided. Glad to know I was on the right track. So now I have Android 4.0.4 installed on my device. The problem I have now is that the device isn't recognized in Windows and I can't find a driver for it to work. I've tried...

    Post [Q] How to recover data and reset flash counter when phone won't boot

    I will remember that. Any suggestions where to track down /storage/emulated/0/sounds/ from a partition perspective? I just finished flashing down to ICS 4.0.4. Even though Odin said it was successful, it's hanging on boot-up at the pulsing Samsung logo just like when this whole mess started...

    Post [Q] How to recover data and reset flash counter when phone won't boot

    Thanks for that table! I noticed that link wasn't for the T999, which is why I hesitated to rely on it. IDK why I'm having such a hard time finding info on the T999. Anyway, I managed to DD every single partition by running: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/storage/extSdCard/aboot.img dd...

    Post [Q] How to recover data and reset flash counter when phone won't boot

    I did some digging and found I need to pull data from: /sdcard/callrecorder/ /storage/emulated/0/sounds/ I'm trying to decipher if I need to dump any additional partitions. No luck finding much useful information on S3 partitions - this was the closest I found -...

    Post [Q] How to recover data and reset flash counter when phone won't boot

    Thanks Doc! I reformatted my external SD Card to exFAT, then ran the DD command to dump the userdata partition. I'm using DiskInternals Linux Recovery right now to scan the image for any recoverable files. Where can I find more info on those different partitions in /dev/block/? I think some of...

    It looks like BusyBox and the DD command can create a bit-by-bit partition dump but I'm not sure how to issue the commands. I have ADB and SU access, BusyBox installed.

    Post [Q] Fastboot Recovery/Remotely enable USB debugging

    My screen became unresponsive a while back. I ended up getting and OTG cable and plugging in a mouse. This allowed me to do everything as if the touchscreen was working. There's also an app called MyMobiler that let me plug in my device over USB and control my screen from my PC. Those two helped...

    Post [Q] How to recover data and reset flash counter when phone won't boot

    DocHoliday - thanks for the tip, but Easy UMS only allows access to the external SD card. I'm continuing my search. There must be something that at least allows a full bit-wise backup of the entire device to an SD card that I can then use for forensics.

    Post [Q] How to recover data and reset flash counter when phone won't boot

    some progress OK, with some persistence I managed to get the device to a bootable state. I managed to installed TWRP Bootloader and Chainfire's SuperUser, and that got the phone bootable. Android version is 4.1.2, USB Debugging is now ON, and I went through the setup process but disabled all...

    Thread [Q] How to recover data and reset flash counter when phone won't boot

    My S3 went haywire a few days ago and in my attempts to recover data I loaded the TWRP bootloader and a custom ROM hoping I could eventually reboot it and reset the flash counter. Unfortunately, it still won't reboot - it hangs on the pulsing SAMSUNG animation, after the "Samsung Galaxy SIII"...
