[AC Question]

My phone stopped working recently and it has been stuck in USB Download Bootblock mode. I have tried pressing down on the end call and select button at once while placing the battery, I've tried holding down the lower volume button along with the end button and the call button but it has failed to work. I thought that if I could plug in my phone to my computer that I could reset everything on my phone but since I have a mac it's not reading my phone. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you can get it into recovery mode, and the phone is rooted, you can use adb to create an image of userdata with the dd command. Then copy that file to your Mac and run PhotoRec on it to recover everything there.

In the future remember - data not backed up is data you don't need.
