Hi everyone,
An acquaintance has brought his gf's i9300 to me because he needs help. Him and his gf went on a trip somewhere. She took a bunch of photos. She stored them on the internal storage rather than the SD card. At some point, she tried to apply an OTA update and now it's stuck at the Samsung logo. I believe the update got corrupted or maybe she let the phone die while it was applying... Something obviously went wrong. He's hoping I can get it to boot without losing the pictures.
I know I can flash an Odin image but I'm pretty sure that will wipe what they want. There is a thread here on XDA that says some Odin images won't erase data, but the files are out of date (they are ICS).
I did go in to recovery and try to apply the update.zip from cache but it failed.
Can anyone just provide me with the update.zip of the most current OTA for the Hong Kong version of the i9300?
One other thing to note, when I go in to recovery it says it has CSC XFE. According to another XDA thread, that's supposed to be the region code for South Africa.
Any help is appreciated.
