[Q] Galaxy ACE II GT-I8160P in Crash-reboot loop; Stock ROM; Save User Data



suddenly the GT-I8160P started to crash and reboot to crash again and so on.

details:
- the system metioned to be in reduced functionality due to less storage capacity.
- the phone rebooted after starting some app to analyse the memory usage.
- now the system comes up until a few seconds after the lock screen is displayed.
- I am able to unlock the phone and start an app (for example Contacts) and see all contacts are still there.
- but the time is not enough to do anything useful until the phone crashes again and reboots.
I tried:
- first use odin and flash the stock rom again > no result (phone is still on stock rom (4.1.2))
- odin flash the 4.1.2 stock rom without branding > time to crash is a little longer

I want to recover the contacts and some App data (i.e. Whats-App)

The idea to send a stop command via adb shell would be very good.
But adb doesn't find the device as it boots up. Cause the windows system hasn't the time to properly install the driver MTP-USB-Device before the phone crashes again and hence is disconnected what causes the driver installation to break. ADB can connect to the device when it is in recovery mode. BUt am I able to access the file system in this state?

As I am looking through the net for several hours now and trying several suggestions I was not able to get any progress...

If there is any idea I could try either for accessing the data or stopping the phone from rebooting your help would be very welcome. Thank you in advance
Maybe there is any solution with a configuration which is an initramfs which allows to mount the file system and to be connected anyhow (i.e. adb) but I didn't get any hint to something pointing into a similar direction. At least not without wiping the phone (including the data) in advance...
