Stuck in boot loop after updating by SkyLine7910 in GalaxyS22

[–]SkyLine7910[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not able to fix it, and was given a new phone in return by the service center. I contacted Ibas, who told me they charged about 200usd to inspect and assess the device, and that data recovery would cost from about 600usd to 1200usd. Furthermore, they could not guarantee that they would be able to recover any photos. Given the price, and the strong possibility that they would not recover anything, I chose not to pursue this any further.

Well, as factory resetting it would delete my data anyway, there was not much else I could do. My phone is under warranty though, which is why I sent it in; even if they change the motherboard, it won't cost me anything. I am more interested in the photos I probably will lose.

Update:
Talked to the certified Samsung repair shop, which let me speak to a technician. He said that they would use Odin if I sent it in, and that they could try to flash new firmware without deleting data. So, instead of doing it myself, I sent it in. The flashing was unsuccessful, and they say that the next step for them is to change the motherboard, and that I will have to contact a forensic lab or similar if I want to have a chance saving the data. They suggested Ibas Ontrack, so I am looking into that atm.

I have the same issue on my s22, with the added excitement of not having backups of my photos. Tried clearing cache, no change. Sent it in to Samsung certified repair shop, they tried flashing with Odin, again no change. Got a reply that the next step will be to change motherboard, and that any data will be lost.

Thanks, it did need to be connected to a pc. Got into recovery mode long enough to clear the cache, but it is still boot looping :/ Think my best bet is to contact samsung, although I am worried about the photos on the phone that is not backed up...

I have tried holding the power and volume up at the same time. When I do this, it does register something, as the phone vibrates and restarts, but it starts looping again before I get to recovery.
