My phone randomly stopped booting up properly. It boots to the sony logo, and then freezes at it. Occasionaly the logo doesn't appear and just the back light comes on, and nothing else. Whatever has happened, it seems a proble with the OS or CPU. My data must still be on the phone but I have no way of accessing it in my knowledge. How can I get the data off my phone if it's not booting up? I do not want to do a factory reset as this will wipe my data and I'm planning on getting a new phone soon anyway... is there an option to take it somewhere to get done properly?
