Android recovery mode/S3

[AC Question]

Can I recover contacts, photos, etc? from this mode. My phone does not power on otherwise

Welcome to AC
Unfortunately the only way to recover the photos would be from the "normal" mode. What happens when you try to boot up your device?

Have you tried wiping the cache partition when you're in recovery mode?

yes, did that as well...also I tried to attach to my PC via USB to connect KIES but the PC did not recognize the phone

Are you able to boot into download mode?

yes

yes

I'd suggest booting into download mode and flashing the stock ROM then. Let me get the guide for that

Thanks I will try that; hopefully the PC will recognize my phone this time
