Sorry to bother you but i just want to know if there is any chance of at least getting the data on the internal memory card back? I didn't have an external sdcard to save all my data in so it's still on the phone and i just want to know if there's a possible way to recover it with a phone that is stuck on the logo screen and i can only access recovery mode and download mode. And can you explain to me please if it's possible what causes this "error mounting /system and /sdcard" error?

Also, If i try to flash TWRP will i be able to find a way to get into the internal memory of the phone to retrieve back data?

Thank you soo much for reading my concern and for your help! It means a lot!

Hii again,

Sorry to bother you but i just want to know if there is any chance of at least getting the data on the internal memory card back? I didn't have an external sdcard to save all my data in so it's still on the phone and i just want to know if there's a possible way to recover it with a phone that is stuck on the logo screen and i can only access recovery mode and download mode. And can you explain to me please if it's possible what causes this "error mounting /system and /sdcard" error? I kept getting these messages when i tried to make a backup using CWM recovery and when i tried to mount system and sdcard. Before getting CWM recovery, i got a message saying " E: failed to mount system", I've never used any damaging apps and never rooted nor flashed the phone before, I honestly don't know what caused the phone to get stuck on the logo screen... :confused:

Also, If i try to flash TWRP after CWM will i be able to find a way to get into the internal memory of the phone to retrieve back data?

Thank you soo much for reading my concern and for your help! It really means a lot!

Lets do this....you have CWM as your recovery right? Every time I get into a bootloop, I wipe Cache and dalvic catche. Jibe that a try and reboot. Don't do a full wipe. Only wipe cache and dalvic cache and reboot system

The only thing I can recommend then we'll be flashing TWRP as CWM I cannot speak for due to prior issues I have had. It should not erase Internal storage upon flashing. As from there, you can use ADB on PC to copy Internal storage. Its not my device but due to many devices functioning the same, I can guide with basics

Alright I will try to flash TWRP hoping that I would retrieve some data. By the way, can you tell me which command should I try to copy the internal storage? Is it "pull" or another one?

I tried using the pull command before rooting the phone but the sdcard and data files were both empty, does this mean that the internal storage is wiped? Because i don't remember doing a factory reset to the phone..

Also, I've read on some forums that even if some of the OP did factory reset to their phone, they still found their internal storage there? Do you think it's possible?

Thank you a looot for your help and for replying back and sorry for bothering you, it honestly means a lot!

Sorry I didn't understand, do you mean after going into the recovery mode, I can access internal storage with this method? Should i give it a try or it wouldn't work?

I took the phone today to someone who has some phone experience and told me that there's no way other than flashing the phone and doing the factory reset, with deleting all the data including internal storage. They also told me that the chance of it working afterwards is not sure, even after the factory reset and flash? :(

Do you think that there's some chance just to get to the internal storage after using TWRP? I want to at least save the data somewhere else or is it too late?

Sorry for bothering you with so many questions.

Thanks a looot for your help and your reply! It honestly means a lot! I tried looking everywhere but it seems like fixing the " Failed to mount /system" error is not that much available and it seemed not possible to fix it without loosing all the data and formatting the phone.. I don't even know what caused it in the first place

Again, thanks a loot for your replies!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony the noob :D:
Just flash the correct TWRP and access to your internal storage will be available once booted into the recovery. Your system issue will most likely be from CWM. If you want your device to boot, just adb sideload a rom from TWRP. And for the person who told you that device might not work afterword, I'm not sure what to tell them.

By the way...the recovery can't mount a system if one isn't available to mount. To fix that, just download a custom rom for your device and sideload it once you flash TWRP. The command will be "CD /Custom/rom/location". Then put device in sideload mode in TWRP recovery and on pc, type command "adb sideload Custom_rom.zip.

Thank you sooo sooo much for your help and i'm really sorry for taking so long to reply back, I had some personal issues and I couldn't try flashing the phone. I have just flashed the TWRP recovery through Odin and i tried to mount the system there but it's still not working :( When I click on Reboot-> System, It tells me "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" I'm going to try what you told me afterwards but I just want to know if I side-load a custom ROM, would that wipe everything from the phone including internal storage? I just wanted to know if i could access data in the internal storage of the phone if it's still there or is it completely wiped? That phone guy that i went to visit last time told me that the phone is at risk of not functioning at all, that's why i'm a little hesitant in trying to download other things on the phone afraid to brick it and not even be able to turn on anymore :(

You should be able to access files from your device once booted into TWRP. Your device should mount to PC. As for bricking your device, nay. You have a recovery installed and can get into bootloop. That's the only issue. Flashing the wrong recovery will possibly brick but it boots into TWRP correct?

I flashed the TWRP Recovery and i get to the TWRP Recovery menu, but I can't access the phone through PC. The USB cable is connected and i can access adb but i can't see the phone's files and internal storage on the PC. Also, when i click on any of the phone's files through TWRP Recovery, most of them are empty, and if I try to reboot it through TWRP, it says "No OS installed". Yes my phone boots fine into the TWRP Recovery and the download mode. So side-loading a custom ROM is the next thing I should try right?

Thank you so muuch for your replies!

If your SD Card in good condition, you may copying custom rom (like CM13+gapps) first by card reader or another phone. Insert to your Galaxy S III, then flash it by twrp. You're lucky that can still boot into recovery...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony the noob :D:
Yes, next step is side load via adb. And the pc doesn't pick it up

[Hide Sim Icons] & [Colored Notification Panel] Xperia XA Ultra Dual Mod FW [.111]

Hey guys, I just finished modifying the SystemUI.apk of the Xperia XA Ultra dual.

Just flash it via recovery.

It will,

1. Hide the sim icons.

2. Change the color of the notification panel in accordance with the theme. You need to restart your phone after applying a new theme.

Requirements,

1. Recovery.

2. Xposed to enable Superuser Mode. http://xdaforums.com/xa-ultra/how-to/quick-fix-themed-navigation-keys-xa-t3439196

I haven't tested it without the superuser mode, please do it at your own risk if you don't have xposed.

I'm also providing the stock SystemUI apk & another modded apk with only hidden sim icons.

i think it can be done by phone itself by long pressing the setting button on status bar. wait until it vibrates and then you will get an additional settings on the settings called system ui tuner. from there you can hide sim icon
[Remix Mini General] sgs2noob:
Need some help :( cant find anything relevant.

My remix mini is unable to boot now, not even showing the Jide screen nor the option for F2 to recovery.

the last time this happened, was when i was watching TV and switched to the mini (always left on) - the screen was blank, but with a signal... what actually happened was it was downloading/applying an update which i couldnt see, and bricked it .

so the last time that happened, i had access to the recovery. so i got a ROM from Jide : http://support.jide.com/hc/en-us/articles/221107527-ROMs-Download which worked perfectly.

so this time the same thing happened , i switched to the mini, screen flashed a few times... i thought it was applying an update, so i left it alone for a while... after 10mins it was still blank and i rebooted it... but no more boot screen! Signal still detected as 1080 50hz (what i used), and the green light is lit. .. so i know the unit still works somehow.

is there anyway i can reflash the older ROM onto my Remix? like ADB? or something ...

ps. my mini was never rooted nor had any custom ROM

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] redzpl:
Hi guys,

I'm going to buy MTCB unit to my skoda and I have a problem to decide which model should I pick.

Joying is offering two units with exactly the same specs but different android os version, kitkat based unit is almost 40% cheaper.

I'm nexus user for years so I know differences between these os's well, IMO on car radio is not that relevant. Are there any noticeable advantages of LP model which make it worth additional costs?

Kitkat model: JY-VN130

Lollipop model: JY-VL130

I know that kitkat can't be upgraaded to lollipop so this decision will be final. I've checked all recent post on XDA and didn't find answer so I count on Your help guys :)

best regards!
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] jerome.jh:
Hi,

Currently investigating to replace a Parrot Asteroid. There is virtually no difference between Kitkat and Lollipop till you encounter an app that won't install on Kitkat. On Kitkat there is the Xposed framework that is mature and allows doing various interesting things. On Lollipop it is not that mature (if working). Never used Xposed actually.

Are you sure the units you mention are MTCB and not MTCD?

BR,

Jerome.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] Krunk_Kracker:
KitKat can be upgraded to Lollipop, I just did it two days ago. Go with the Joying KitKat version since it's cheaper, and just upgrade to 5.1 if you want to. That way you can try both and chose what you want. Xposed is working on 5.1 MTCB devices now.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] doitright:
Why wouldn't you buy an MTCD? That is the newer hardware that will be supported moving forward, and more likely to (hopefully) eventually have an SoM upgrade available.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
L is faster than KK and boots quicker.

Xposed is FULLY working on Lollipop.

Exactly, thats the sensible way to do it !

Because MTCB/MTCC units have been around for longer and are more developed.

MTCB/MTCC also had SoM upgrades available in the past and there is no reason to suggest that they wont in future either, especially considering the recent news that the new MTCC units are nothing more than MTCB units with different MCU software - MTCC MCUs work on MTCB units and this suggests that MTCB/MTCC units wil still be developed by the manufacturers.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] doitright:
Ok, let me put it another way... when was the last time that Google did anything new for the Nexus 4?

MTCB is old news, dead, end of life.

MTCD is the replacement for it. This is what will be updated going forward.

If you buy an MTCB now, then you're going to be buying an MTCD to replace it shortly.

You can't think of chinese hardware in terms of "what if they might continue to support it?" -- they won't.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
So wrong on so many counts, youve put 2 and 2 together and come up with 11.

Firstly pretty much ALL electronic hardware is Chinese, it may have a western or (non Chinese) Eastern badge on it, but it will originate from China (the iPhone for instance is designed and produced by a Chinese company in China, only the shell is designed by Crapple).

MTCB is indeed "old news" . . . because its been replaced by MTCC - MTCC is newer MCU firmware developed for MTCB units, which have now been re-named "MTCC" units and are STILL being produced, MTCD is not a replacement for MTCB/MTCC, they are being sold alongside each other.

In the smartphone market updates are complex and support for even leading brand phones is often dropped within a few years. Not so in the Android ICE market - MTCB units have been going for over 3 years and are STILL supported, hence the new MCU name - the units have gone from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 and to 5.1.1, they have gone from dual to quad core and still have the possibility to be upgraded with a further SoM upgrade, few Android phones have this level of support and updates, NONE are capable of having their SoMs upgraded.

If MTCB was "dead and at the end of its life" do you think the manufacturers would bother to get the developers to develop new MCU firmware for it ? The very fact that the new MTCC update for MTCB units exists proves you are incorrect.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] doitright:
The difference is who owns the name and is taking responsibility (if any) for maintaining it.

So you have evidence of a current firmware update, that's far from a long term support promise.

That is absurd and completely irrelevant.

For a VERY short time, yes. This is normal. And then next month what do you get? How about the month after that? Have fun with your unsupported out of date chinese junk.
[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
The name and who owns it is totally irrelevant - these "no name" brands have been supported and developed (albeit sometimes not that well) for far longer than most "known" smartphone brands.

There were no promises of any support at all in the past, yet there has been for longer than most known brands (see above). It is not "a current firmware update" its a totally new name and version number for a previously existing MCU, if the units were "dead" updates would have simply stopped. Theyre, like gonna totally rename it, re-write the software and then drop it ? Yeah right.

Not absurd, fact and totally relevant.

See my previous posts - updates and suppport for 3 years (far more than named brands) - this is a "a very short time" is it ? MTCC units are supported and will continue to be supported.

I ve had several of these units in several vehicles over the last few years, I m in communication with at least one manufacturer and with other members who are in communication with other manufactures, I ve been following/contributing to threads on here about them for the best part of 3 years, I know far more about these units, their history, their foibles and their development that you can ever hope to know. You are wrong, your ideas are based on bigotted assumption, not fact and if you think they are "unsupported Chinese junk" then go away and stop wasting your time filling these forums with mis-information and rubbish. Oh and as MTCD units come from the same developers and manufacturers and use many of the same components, they must also be "unsupported Chinese junk" as well.
