[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dramebaaaz:
so here is my problem.

i have a samsung note 2 (N7100) with 16 gb internal memory. I didn't paid much attention to the internal memory space, and had tons of data on it. And the phone reached a stage, where the internal memory (16gb) got entirely full. so, the phone got off automatically maybe due to unavailability of the space required to run the phone and apps.

I didn't had much idea about it, but 2 or 3 days before my phone went off, i had checked my internal memory and it was on the verge of getting full almost, i had this thing in my mind that when it will get almost full, a message will pop up on screen saying "your memory is full, please delete files." But, in vain.

Now the thing is, the phone won't start up, when you press the power on button, it will show the screen with samsung logo but won't go through. the logo will stay or the phone will automatically turn off. I am not much of a tech guy. I tried going to local repairing shops, but they all had this one thing, we can start your phone but we can not pull out the data and consider your data as gone. Data is highly important for me. I do not have any issues if the phone does not start up, but i want to extract my data anyhow, as it has my personal data (media and documents) of the last entire year, i know when i knew that data was so important than i should have backed that up from time to time. But, i do not have any backup.

i had never installled any custom os or no nothing about rooting my phone. the phone was running android 4.2.2 and i used apps like snapchat, whatsapp, bbm , document reader , facebook and few games.

i started searching out on the net for my problem, as i can not handover my device to any local or repairing guy, because they can not get me my data back for sure. than i found this thing, you can go to bootmenu than scrolldown to "clear cache memory" and maybe that could release a bit of space on the phone and somehow get my phone started and get me my data back. To get to the boot menu,

Boot Into Recovery Mode on Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Turn off your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 device.

With your device turned off, press the Volume Up, Power button and Home Button at the same time, for a couple of seconds.

When you see the recovery mode displayed on the screen, release the buttons.

i exactly did the same thing as mentioned above, but did not found any recovery screen rather found screen warning me about custom os or custom rom installation and other option read start phone normally. on selecting the first option and continuing "that i understand the risks of installing custom rom'" a screen will appear saying downloading and nothing will happen. and if i say second option the phone will start, and the samsung screen will come up and it won't go through.

the bottom line: my phone won't start up. And i won't be able to pop my data.

i had tried factory reset via boot menu earlier in the past in samsung galaxy y and y duos , there i did saw factory reset, cache wipe , ackup and other expected recovery screen. I know what the recovery screen looks like but in this case i can not get through as some odin something screen will appear instead of recovery screen. I won't find normal boot options but this two stubborn options as mentioned above here.

I don't know what to do . i would be highly grateful if anyone from here can help me out. and i already went through several threads in the forum, but none of the thread exactly matched my problem.

i also had this one idea that if i can remove the memory ic from the ciruit board of the phone and can get it fixed on other note 2's memory than maybe i could get my memory on that device and can recover. I know its dumb to think so and such a thing is not possible as everything on the circuit board is heavily linked to the board and we can not remove the memory ic. I can not get my files via hardware manipulation i know.

also, i have learned that flashing or re-installing the os, would start up my phone, but i would loose all my data and that's what i do not want. There are recovery apps such as recuva, which can recover your data, but that's still like taking a chance and is risky. and may be internal memory data can not be recovered.

Every android guy i knew all said the same thing that there is no way to get the data back even the android geeks whom i knew said the same thing. i am helpless.

I need media and document files mainly and importantly.

I just want someone from here to be a angel and push away my problem and help me out.

i do not have anything such as developer mode on in my phone, as i have already said that i am not much of a tech guy. I am a normal user without much knowledge of how to fix , root or any other thing.

please help me out.

Thanks for your valuable time in much advance.

The only hope is this thread. Be my saviour.
