[FONT="]MY galaxy S2 has started restarting, and I can't get it to boot. IT seems to have started when I removed the battery when the phone was still running[/FONT]
[FONT="]The phone gets to the Samsung logo and then appears to start again, and continues to loop like this indefinitely.[/FONT]

[/FONT]
[FONT="]I've seen videos where people claim the power key can get stuck, but I've tried tapping it a few times and no joy. Also when I remove the battery the phone doesn't automatically power on so I don't think this is the problem.[/FONT]
[FONT="]I'm considering a hard reset. [/FONT][FONT="][FONT="]Will a hard reset delete all my photos and music from the internal sdcard? [/FONT]This is my fear and I'd like to try and backup my data before I try it. Does anyone know a way?
[/FONT]
[FONT="]My phone is not rooted. I can access the recovery system if I remove the battery and reboot holding volume up, home, and power keys. I've tried all options in here apart from the hard reset as I don't want to loose my photos etc.[/FONT]
[FONT="]One thing that bothers me though is that if, through the recovery menu, I try and apply update from sdcard (internal), when I browse the folders (such as DCIM, and Music), I don't see my files there. Does this mean that the internal sdcard is already wiped, or is this just filtering for actual android executables?.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Any ideas?[/FONT]
