Specifically pics and vids that were on either the card or phone memory.
So there is no recycle bin or something like it?
When it is deleted it is gone for good?
Hi,
Try http://www.pcinspector.de/Sites/smart_recovery/info.htm?language=1
to restore files from your Storage Card.
I'm not aware of a solution to recover files on your mobile's ROM.

Is there any way to recover files from a phone that has been flashed? All photo/file restore programs seem only to restore deleted information from memory cards/hard drives. I need to restore some data from my device itself (T-Mobile Dash). Are there any programs out there that will do this?
Thank you in advance for any help...
I really doubt you can recover from a flashed device. Your best bet is to go back to the old rom and then do a full restore with your backup file, which I'm sure that you have. Then copy all the files/reg settings you need to your sd card. Then flash back to the new rom and install the files/reg settings either manually or with sashimi.
Why don't you backup your files and program .cab's before you flash it? That's the smartest way..
no you cant, you should have taken a back up. But after flashing you cannot recover it.
Thanks for the input. I figured so much. I didnt think I had any files I cared about saved directly on the device. Teaches me to backup my files no matter what....

I know about a program that can recover deleted files not only from cd or sm card, but also from other media types. It is called Advanced File Recovery. I hope this program will help you.

That program is for windows and not windows mobile.
As far as i know, there is no way to recover data from a flashed mobile.
Has anyone used Recuva to successfully recover deleted files from their sdcard? I tried using it to recover a backup that I deleted yesterday and it hasn't found anything from that folder, even with a deep scan.

I have used it successfully. Recovered about 200MB of deleted photos, but it won't work if a new file has been overwritten in that block.
Files aren't really "deleted" until something gets written on top of them, like another picture in the same place on the sd card
As with other file recovery programs Recuva works by looking for unreferenced data, but if the operating system has written new data over a deleted file then recovery will often not be possible.

Damn, so every backup overwrites the last deleted one then?

Whatever got stored in that block deleted it, whether it be another recovery, or a text file
my phone got wiped last month after an unlock, factory reset or something and nothing recovered the data. i tried partition recovery, getdataback, easyrecovery, none of them found data. might have better luck getting stuff back that was just deleted.
So i wanted to go back to my stock Indian ICS firmware that i had backed up using CWM.
I was on Vanilla Rootbox 4.2.1 and wiped data,cleared cache and dalvik cache and then hit restore in CWM
Everything went smooth and booted up where I had backup up with same settings and everything
BUT
I lost all my pictures.ALL OF THEM
I dont know how!
I connected the phone using USB to check on the computer but they are all gone. Just the name of the folders and they are all empty.
Ive heard restoring doesn't touch any of the user files on SD card like pictures and videos.
Now what am I supposed to do?
Please Help!

Buddy, the pics are in .hidden folder is thumbnail stored in Sdcard.
So I think you have suddenly wiped the emmc or something.

I had purposely kept some pictures in a hidden folder so they dont show up in the gallery.
They are there
also before restoring there were two Clockworkmod folders in my SD card each containing a backup folder.
I deleted one and replaced the other one with my old backup
Did this cause the problem?
i dont think so

Nup buddy. CWM backup doesn't touch any SDcard item. I think there is something you did wrong coz of it all visible files were deleted.
OT: BTW, what kinda Images you store in Hidden folder..?? You naughty..

yeah I'm still trying to figure out where I messed up.
Anyway I found some of them on my PC. So have at least something
hahaa cant tell you
Anyway whats the standard procedure to do a CWM restore?
What I did was right? Because this was the first time I did a restore.
and I'm on CWM 4.0.0.2

Help! I know I ran a titanium backup on my phone before resetting it to factory settings but now I can't find the file on my SD card. I swear I backed them up on the SD card but I guess there could be a chance they were only backed up on my phone. Is there a way to recover this file? I just need this one file and some of the data recovery programs that I've seen are $50 or so.
As I was cleaning my Nexus 4 internal storage (deleting unused and old junks) I found a folder called storage and deleted it, as it was unfamiliar in Internal Storage of my phone. After clicking delete I found its storage/emulated/0 and it just wiped all of all emulated/0 files and folders in a second!!! . It just happened before 30 min and I just tried a app to recover which obviously didnt work to recover everything I lost!Pls suggest and help me for recovery. I'm sure those data aren't overwritten and I don't know how to recover them!!..

Hi,
First, no need for the language. I fixed that for you!
Also, XDA Assist is here to help navigate the site, not for support, and I see you know where your device section is. So please ask for help in your device section.
Thanks !
