Any help would be greatly appreciated! So here's the problem, I was on vacation in India a few weeks ago, and I restarted my phone, everything was working fine up till this point. As it was restarting, I saw the samsung logo, and after that, it didn't proceed past the "android" logo. (Soft Brick?) I have spent weeks and tried many different methods to get it to start up, but every time I pull the battery and try to boot up again, it always get stuck at the "android" logo. Here is some information that may be important:
1- Phone is 16gb VZW s5 (SM-g900v). I rooted the phone a long time ago (almost 2 years) and got FreedomROM. Phone is currently on Android 5.0- OC4- stock recovery
If any other information is needed, I will gladly provide it, given I can get it from either stock recovery or some other way. My main goal here is to get the phone booted up- preserving all the data. If this isn't possible, I would just like to retrieve my photos(camera, screenshots, downloads) and text messages(Android Messenger). Thanks again for any bit of help, I know this is an "older" phone now, so any supporters out there are greatly appreciated!
