Hey, I've seen many threads about my phone and consensus is generally that the phone has what I perceive to be battery issues that cause the battery to sometimes slightly expand under heat causing a hardware failure, this confuses some but not all - less watchful users as to why their phone restarts constantly. From what I can tell, the gel used inside of the battery is low quality and cannot contain heat effectively, causing a failure that is inevitable in anyone who leaves their phone plugged in for too long. The excessive heat can warp the hardware and cause a failure in soldering, but I personally have no idea how to open the phone up and fix it. The software update that happened in 2017 also generally took a long time to apply and would generally encourage users to plug in their phone and wait for it to finish, ultimately spelling their doom, I've never seen warranty bullshit like this but it pisses me off to know that anybody who sent this unnecessary firmware update out, probably did so with the knowledge that it would overheat the phone and break it. 400$ for nothing goddamn you assholes at asus. Released in 2015 and updated in 2017 right as the standard 2 year warranty ends.
My primary concern is recovering my data from the phone's hard drive. Unfortunately my phone doesn't show up on my computer when I connect it via usb cable even with the asus drivers which are for windows 7 and i am on windows 10 and cannot get them to work, so I am limited to microsd updates for when I try to roll it back in the future via recovery menu. I can get the device recognized via adb drivers on windows 10 can use command adb devices to see my device name but all other commands fail. Since I can't use my pc to access my phones data I'm curious if anyone has the know how to access the hard drive with software, I've used some software like helium and others but it always fails on connecting. Could I possibly solder it and connect it, it has alot of important family memories and photos for me so I don't want to lose it.:crying:
