Hi guys,
I have a galaxy s4, two days ago it has decided to start playing up. It will not turn on as normal. I have tried the power/volume up/home button option, i can get as far as the green android robot icon (with downloading... heading underneath.)
Have also tried the emergency recovery option via kies, still no luck.
Would anyone have any other options before this phone gets 'bricked!'
I have no emergency firmware code, and it is failing to connect properly via usb lead. I get the message 'device not responding' via my windows7 laptop.
To be truthful, any jailbreak or firmware download would be helpful at this stage. Ideally i would love to recover my phonebook etc, but i am aware i will probably just have to do a fresh firmware install, if at all possible!!
I AM STUCK ON THE ANDROID ROBOT ICON SCREEN, JUST CANT GET INTO THE PHONE AT ALL. No recognised connection on laptop(w7) cant really see how to solve this if the phone wont even connect to my laptop. Gutted !
Model is a samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9505, carrier is o2 and based in the uk.
Any help, links or instructions would be so very gratefully received.
Thanks for reading.
