Phone will not boot, any hope to Recover Data?

Is there a way to get data off a phone that will not boot up?
My phone is constant rebooting. It reboots over and over and hangs on the eyeball screen, never getting to the home screen. (I plan to do a Factory Reset.)
I hadn't done a back up recently, and had been saving photos on the phone memory rather than the SD card (lesson learned.)
Is there any way to recover any of the data before doing a Factory Reset?
I am aware of the "Volume Down, Power button" start up to do the reset - is there anything there that will allow it to be connected to the computer to copy files off?
... By the way, I have started the phone using Volume Down / Power start up and selected "Recovery" and I get the icon of a phone with a red triangle with an "!" inside it, but my computer does not recognize the phone when it is plugged in via USB.
Thanks.

I regret to hear that Safe mode is not working correctly. Below I have provided the instruction just in case.
Safe mode

If the device will not go into Safe mode, I would agree with Budone and complete a hard reset

  • Cisco 7941G phones will not boot up after factory reset.

    Cisco 7941G phones will not boot up after factory reset.
    The following happens.
    1. Speaker light lit (Green)
    2. Phone displays a firmware upgrade page (see attachment) for a few minutes. (Doesn't seems to be upgrading, but it "saids" upgrading)
    3. Saw Cisco logo with a Java Powered page.
    4. The whole thing loops again and again...
    I think the reason why the phone isn't booting up is because the phone needs to know where to find the configuration/firmware files from a tftp server. I do have a TFTP server, but normally I need to go in settings to change the alternative tftp server, but the thing is that now I can't even press the settings button...
    Please help.

    How many phones were reset and upgrading at one time? What is the setting of the TFTP Maximum Serving Count (Advanced TFTP Service Parm) on each of the TFTP servers?
    Sounds like too many devices trying to use TFTP at once.

    Bought the Iphone 6   2 days ago. My mac pro finds the phone on bluetooth but phone will not discover ANY bluetooth divices. Have hard reset the phone and restarted as well. nothing. Any suggestions or issues. This is the first apple phone I have owned. Am not very happy that Bluetooth would present a problem.

    I can't help with the other devices but note that an iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

  • My phone will not charge any one else have this problem

    I have plug my charger in to every outlet I can find and my phone will not charge. I have tried more than one charger and no luck.

        KC9NVV,
    We never want you to have issues with charging your device! That's definitely no fun! Are you using the charger that came with the phone? Have you tried restarting the phone to see if that makes any difference? If you look in the charging port are there any signs of corrosion?

  • I have been given an Apple 3G which is in jailbreak.  After restoring and updating my phone will not accept any updates or restoration. Unknown error 1015. Please help!

    I have been given an Apple 3G which is in jailbreak.  After restoring and updating my phone to get rid of jailbreak the iphone will not accept any updates or restoration. Unknown error 1015. Please help!  I am new to all this and want to start using the phone legitimately.

    I believe from the situation you describe your iPhone 3g has the iPAD baseband 6.15.00 which is interfering with iTunes. Remember Apple does not allow downgrade of software typically. The current 3g firmware 4.2.1 has a baseband 5.15.04 which is lower than, what I believe your baseband is of 6.15.00. So to install the current 3g firmware 4.2.1 would actually be a baseband downgrade, which iTunes will not allow. So to fix your iPhone you will have to search the Web like diesel vdub said. There are no parts to buy and your iPhone will work again I promise.

  • Any hope for recovering data fr. Micro SD Memory card?

    this isn't really a powerbook G4 question, but it does relate to data i've had on there.....
    I mistakenly pressed the yes button on my mobile phone when it asked if it could reformat the disk because it couldn't recognize or read the card.
    Is there any hope of recovering the data or is it gone forever?
    I'm hoping that there's someone out there with a solution.
    Thanks to anyone who may be able to help me and if I can't retrieve the data, then I must humbly accept that it's gone and to let it go.....

    there's a website flashfixers.com.
    They have great products to help one recover everything and anything.
    I downloaded the demo version ImageRecall to test it out and see how it would be.
    Easy to use. It lets you know how many files were retrieved for each option (data, audio, image) within the drive you choose. It gives you 10 recovered files as a teaser. You need to buy the full version to recover all the files that are okay for recovery.
    If you haven't heard about this recovery software, check it out.

  • Software update via desktop manager failed, phone will not boot

    I used the Desktop Software (I had to update this first to version 6.00.43; anyway, that's what the Rim.Desktop.exe file properties in Windows Explorer says it is) to update my Curve 8900 's software. It went through the first two steps of downloading and installing; then just sat there stuck on the reboot step -- no kind of error message, just stuck, with phone displaying the AT&T sign on screen for probably a good chunk of lat night (started doing this a little before bed) and all through the day today. Only removing the battery will shut off the phone; once restarted, the white progress bar fills up over a number of minutes and goes back to the AT& screen again; hangup button will not shut the phone down. If I reconnect the USB and the Desktop Software is still running, status message continues to say "disconnected"; if I first connect the USB and then start the software, get a "connecting..." status message but it never connects. Windows 7 "Safely Remove Hardware" list does not display it.
    Any way to fix this?

    Close Desktop Manager.
    Then do this:
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/How_do_I_wi​pe_the_BlackBerry_using_Jl_Cmder%3F
    Then follow the instructions exactly in the first post of this thread to install the OS listed there.:
    http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-8900-serie​s-discussion-javelin/227412-os-8900-v5-0-0-1168-5-​...
    Once you have that done, then you can use Desktop manager to restore the backup file that the original update should have made.

  • HT4847 Turning off camera roll iCloud backup on my phone will not delete any pictures already on my computer will it?

  • Offten I type a text message but when I touch send nothing happends. Other times its ok. I can receive text and my wife can send text when my phone will not. Any suggestions as to a fix?

    Offten I type a text message on my iPhone 4G and nothing happends when I press send. The send button will not function. I can receive text and my wife's pnone iPhone 4g can send but I can not. Any suggestions as to a fix?

    What in the world is an iPhone 4G? There is NONE. There is an iPhone 4, and an iPhone 4th Generation, but there is NO iPhone 4G.
    Anyways, what it sounds like is that you've got the MMS subject line on, and if this is the case, then you've been typing into the subject line, instead of the body of the text.
    You can either type in the body of the text, instead of the subject line, or disable the subject line in the settings.
    If your subject line is off, or you ARE typing in the body, then something's wrong with your iPhone.

  • After changing the battery in my iphone 4s, the phone will not boot up. I only see the apple and when it sits for a few minutes, a code shows above it. What is going on? Did I damage the phone by replacing the battery?

    My sister gave me her iphone 4s for my son. It needed a new battery so, I bought one and replaced it. after doing so, it will not power up. I can only see the apple on the screen and when left for a few minutes.... 10 lines of numbers and codes show up at the top of the screen. Did I ruin the iphone by replacing the battery? Was a simple switch so I don't understand what is going on. Have never had one of these before.

    iPhones are not user servicable.
    Take the device to a competent repair person or buy a new one.

  • My phone will not join any wi-fi connections

    I have spent all day trying to get my phone to connect to wi-fi. I have updated to newest system and have spoke to support for over 45 minutes and it still won't recognize any hot spots. H E L P!!!!!

    Try settings - general - reset - reset network settings.  You will have to re enter known wifi passwords.

    Go to the Personal Email Set Up icon and log in. Then under Help!, select Service Books, then select Send service Books.

  • Phone will not boot

    OK. My Iphone 5s started getting warm (still worked) so I shut it down. Tried to boot a few hours later...nothing. Get the apple, then the spinning wheel for hours. I turned it off pressing both buttons at the same time and tried again....nothing!

    Likely a hardware problem.
    You can try placing the iPhone in Recovery Mode.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you are unable to do this or after the iPhone is restored with iTunes there is no change, call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.
