Hello all,
I have a soft-bricked Galaxy S3. I have no idea why it soft-bricked. I was using Google Maps to find a place and put it in my pocket. When I got there and took the phone out, I was greeted with a black screen with the white Galaxy S3 I-9300 logo that wouldn't go away. Tried taking the battery out then putting it back in and powering on: no dice.
I cannot access Recovery Mode with the Volume Up shortcut; the device bootloops. I can only access Download Mode with Volume Down shortcut. Even stranger, plugging the phone into the charger causes the battery icon to appear, then freeze.
Now, most advice I've searched for says to flash firmware or a custom ROM or do a factory reset to get the phone working again. I'm worried about doing this because it will probably delete the data on the phone. I don't really care about the phone anymore having bought a new one; I just want to get the data. Please let me know what I can do to recover it. Again, the phone doesn't matter. If your method requires me to break the phone in half, so be it as long as the data remains intact and I can retrieve it.
Thanks very much for reading!
