Help Samsung Galaxy Note 2 stuck at boot logo

i am using the adb commands
Click to expand...

I have also now another icon of a directory next to the C folder called RECOVERY (D:) directory.

its from the phone. In are 2 folders, one called OutPutFolder, and the other called recovery.

The one called OutPutFolder has in it MP4folder with a single MP4 file.

So what does this all mean?
 
If I were to guess, the outputfolder would be a temorary location to save the recording stream before it saves the mp3. Recover sounds like you mounted the recovery partition (or you are browsing the recovery partition on your PC and has nothing to do with your phone.)

I haven't done it in a while, but I think the linux commands work in the adb shell. At the command prompt type
Code: 
adb shell ls -R /sdcard | grep *.mp3

That should show you every mp3 file on your sdcard.

Or you could just launch the adb shell command
Code: 
adb shell
and then just browse using ls (the -R lists recursively, so be careful or you could easily see every file on your phone scroll by. :eek:)

lunatic59 thank you so much again, may God bless you my dear friend. I have used adb shell and linux commands cd and ls to get inthe totall_recall folder and all the audio files are there. How do I copy them on to my computer. My command of linux shell usage is not that great so please direct me.
 
You should just be able to use the adb pull command as described before. If you wish to use the adb schell commands ... oh, heck give me a second and I'll check if they work.

you got all the time in the world my good friend
 
okay, just gave it a test ... too much stuff floating around in this old brain. :confused:

With the adb pull command you can use it on a single file or a whole folder, but wildcards do not work. In the adb shell you can copy files using the "cp" command but only within the phone's mounted partition, not back to the PC ... so it's adb pull for you.

On your PC create a target folder called "backup" on your C: drive.

If you are in the adb shell, type "exit" to drop back to the command prompt. I am going to assume your files are all in /sdcard/total_recall and you want to copy them to C:\backup. You'd type
Code: 
adb pull /sdcard/total_recall c:/backup/

Please note that in the adb command you want forward slashes not back slashes as used in the windows command shell. That should copy everything in "total_recall" to your backup folder. Obviously, if the location and destination are different, then adjust the command accordingly.

That is brilliant, may God bless you loads, thank you so much, I am very grateful. I have all the audio files back in my possession.

Another question is there any way to get my sms text messages?
 
That, unfortunately is stored in a protected database and is not accessible, even if you knew the database file name and location. You could try booting your phone in safe mode to see if it get's past the boot loop.

With the phone completely off, press and hold both the volume up and volume down buttons and then press the power button until the phone starts to boot. Release the power button but continue to hold both volume buttons until the boot is complete. Don't worry if you get an error message about the launcher being missing, just see if it will boot at all. If you get to a point where it seems to have booted but won't display anything (because there's no launcher) put the phone down and log on to the play store form your PC. From there you might be able to push an alternate launcher like Nova or Apex to your Note 2 as long as the play app is active and wifi is on. If it does load, restart your phone and you might actually be able to get to your text messages. Otherwise, they are gone :(

I have tried this but it's still stuck. Now I have the audio files thanks to you. The last proof I have is in the sms text messages.

I will try pushing an alternate launcher and see if that work.

Can you tell me what I need to do and type step by step please to push a an alternative launcher.

Thank you
 
You go to https://play.google.com, login with your gmail address and search for Nova launcher. From there you simply click install and it should list your Note 2. Your phone must be booted with wifi on for this to work, so i wouldn't get too hopeful.

Hey my galaxy note 2 is having the same problem where it get stuck on the Samsung galaxy note 2 logo and also blinks. I tried pressing the power, volume, and home button as someone said but all it did was stop the blinking. I want to take the battery out but I'm afraid it might make it worse. Idk what to do, as long as my photos and contacts are saved I'm ok with anything else
