Android automatically updated to the newest version and that is what has caused my issue. Also causing the problem of not being able to root.

I was just hoping to save the pictures from when we first bought the house and the puppy we got, other than that the phone was being replaced anyway. Chalking this up as a shitty lesson learned.

It reminded me of the old freezer trick with mechanical hard drives, also wrap your RROD xbox in a blanket and let it get boiling hot to resit the solders.

About 15 years ago we managed to rescue a friend's graphics card twice by baking it in the oven :D.


One of my colleagues built his own reflow oven with a portable electric oven (it's the same size as a microwave). He built a a microcontroller and the relevant software to control the heat so it bakes the components perfectly. We've used this for several production circuit boards that we sell. Commercial reflow ovens are £££ :o

Baking old audio tapes isn't uncommon when remastering them.

No shit, the point was you used a microwave, and basically bombarded your phones flash media with EM radiation and microwaves. The whole point is to use an oven, so you don't destroy the data.
