I got this old phone out of the cupboard because I needed some old photos from iT, and figured I'd better backup before it died. So I turned it on, the phone crashed and started boot looping. Great. I try to enter recovery and it won't work, only thing that works is download mode.
So I do some reading and see that reflashing the stock firmware might work, so I try that in Odin and it just hangs on factoryfs for an hour. So I disconnect and try again 10 times with different computers, cables and ports. Also tried alternative firmware. Same result each time
So now I find info on installing twrp and backing up the needed user data from there.
So I install hemidall and it recognises the phone, sweet. I find an isorec boot.img and a twrp recovery image bang them in and hemidall starts. I think I'm onto a winner.
But Noooo, hemidall says beginning session, sits there for maybe 20 seconds then moves to releasing device interface.
Any idea what else I can try? I must have spent 12 hours doing this. I just need the photos I could care less about the phone.
Thanks
