Recover DELETED files from you sd card, even on your PC. ;)

Hey guys I would just like to share this wonderful app because I'm so overjoyed with it! It recovers any file, I guess. I accidentally deleted the media folder in my SD Card, but I recovered ALL of my music. Just click the DEEP SCAN option to be sure. BTW, it even works on your PC's recycle bin.
It's free BTW. Here's the link: http://www.filehippo.com/download_recuva/

A very good program to have. I wish I had it a couple months ago when I accidentally deleted some videos.

will be keeping this tool on hand, the "accidental" delete happens a lot in my home

What also works which was made for linux but also works on windwos is photorec...
This will go through your SD card anything you have media stored on and pull deleted photos..
Good tool to run if you are sellin a used SD card and wanna make sure everything was formatted right... Best way is to either run a eraser program on it to go double kill.
Just copy 3 sets of games you have installed on your pc to your sd card max the sucker out and format it will get rid of everything.... lol..

good to have in the toolbox, and free!

very nice. I needed this a couple days ago, maybe I can still get those files back I have to see how it works..

That's the program ive used for a while now. Works every time. I have always managed to recover everything (within hours of deletion).
Question: Is there a program similar to that for Android phones/tablets

Thanks for the info! This can surely come in handy.

Thanks! This should be included with every computer, phone, or device with user controlled storage. But if this makes you paranoid about deleting stuff, just use cCleaner with the 7 pass option.. or 15 if you feel like spending 8 hours to delete 100mb's.

thank you!

You mean regarding your sd card? Or the internal memory?

FPse emulator

Does anyone know how to back up the FPse emulator data? I had to restore my phone to a previous date and couldn't back my emulator data up. I lost a month and a halves worth of work from my ff7 game. I was pretty pissed when I found out everything was erased! So is there a way to back up the emulator data to prevent this in the future if I ever need to restore again?
Also, the games save have nothing with the actual games. They save somewhere else. I think it has something to do with the emulator itself.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Have you tried to backup the data by any means? Try Titanium Backup.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I'm rooted and running CM7. I have clockworkmod recovery too. Making a back up of my phone is not an issue. I need to back up the emulator itself in its current state.
I have tried copying the emulator itself to my sdcard and still no luck. Which I thought would have solved the issue, but that wasn't the case. So I was thinking maybe there is data from the emulator somewhere on my phone I could back up.(no idea where/how to or I wouldn't be asking!)
I had to restore to a previous back up because I downloaded something and my phone stared getting all wacky. Then a week down the line, the app market wouldn't work. Facebook app and on the browser were blocked. Only on my phone. I tried on a friends phone, and i had no problem signing in.
Just in case something like this happens again, or if ever needed for any reason; I don't want to have to restore and lose a hella game time time.

Ok, so here's what I want you to try: Titanium backup
It will back up *the apk and related data* just tell it to update the backup when you're asleep.

No, a full backup takes five minutes, I was meaning to say that you should make a schedule for it to do that, though I am not sure if you can specify only one app for it to update, but I've also never tried it either.
Edit: ok, just checked can't do it for only one app,.but I reccomend using it to back up your apps and data anyhow. If you're on GB and staying there you can also backup system data.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Yeah I'm on GB and staying. I've thought about switching to ICS but heard there are lots of kinks that need to be worked out. Maybe ill try it sometime in the future, when a stable version is released.
Up until now, backing up the system data was done on my Linux box. I just use CWM to make a back up, then store the back up on my Linux box. Titanium will make it that much easier.
I'm gonna check titanium out tonight. Thanks again man!

Anyone know how to transfer save-states or memory card data to a pc (to use with ePSXe)?
I'd love play Symphony of the night on my phone, and continue on, on my computer, then back again.
I can automatically sync folders with Dropsync, but I don't know where the files are.

Well, it would either save on the SD card or with the app data. Try googling it, I hae a hunch someone has asked the exact same question before, maybe not on XDA's G2x forum, per se, but somewhere.

Warlock, nvm I misread your post. But I have tried the titanium app and its pretty cool. Now all I have to do now is restore my phone and figure out how to restore the data
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Ok, I figured it out. I couldn't find them because they are hidden. You need root explorer to access them.
The memory cards on the phone is located at:
data\data\com.emulator.fpse\files\memcards
-copy 'slot1.mcd' to the PC.
-rename it to 'epsxe000.mcr' and put it in the memcards folder in epsxe
-and to get it back to the phone, do the opposite, name it back to 'slot1.mcd' and put it in the folder it came from.
Despite the different extensions, both the android and windows emulators will read the memory cards fine, as long as the name is right.

Cool, so you could play on your PC, save, slap it on your SD card and play on your phone. Maybe it's time I dust off one of my Resident Evil discs. STARS!

Warlock, I tried doing the dame thing. That is essentially backing up the emulator data. So if I ever lost my emulator data I would never lose the spot in the game I am at. I have seen in a bunch of different places that the data would be in the data folder. Oddly, my data folder is empty and has always been empty. Should it be? I even changed the file path of the memory card on my emulator to save to my sdcard. I took a look at it after a save point in FF7 and it was 0kb big.....empty. or was it?

Yeah, that was the problem I was having initially. I gather that you can't see anything inside the 'data' folder with a regular file explorer, you have to use the 'root explorer' app. (I assume your phone has to be rooted to use this).
I'll also add a handy shortcut within Root Explorer. You can bookmark folders, so its really easy to jump to the memcards folder and back to where you want to back them up to. Just long press on the folder you want to bookmark.

Yeah I'm using the regular file manager that came with CM7. I feel really dumb for not thinking about this before. I am rooted so all I had to do was open a terminal and navigate to the data folder lol its not as easy on the eye as a GUI would be but I still don't know why I didn't think of this earlier?! Anywho, ill check out the root explorer app you have suggested. Thanks for the file path to the game data too!

[Q] 96khz skull and crossbones

hey everybody I'm a noob here and have just got a galaxy s 4g. it is completely stock with froyo 2.2.1
i have a pic of a skull and crossbones in the gallery and it says 96khz. its the only pic in the gallery and there is no option to delete and i would like to delete it. how do i do this? and what is the pic even there for?? do i need it?

Its poisen you got a nasty virus send the phone back LOL JK i have never heard of that mine came without that img but i did notice that when i visited places on the web i would get random pics saved to my phone. Rooring would be something to look into gives you total control over your
phone but make sure you do your reading before you try anything as you can seriously damage your phone by flashing wrong stuff. Its easy you JUST HAVE TO READ.

thanks, I've rooted the phone last night and i uninstalled the garbage but i still can't erase the pic. i know it doesn't do anything but it annoys me that it's there and i can't delete it. do you (or anyone)know where it would be located if i try to go in the "files" app icon?

Sounds like a gangbangers old phone. Gallery is usually accessing pics on the sdcard so you should've be able to delete that tag once you're connected on the PC.

Recover deleted pictures

Is there a way that you are able to recover deleted pictures from our phone when it is connected via USB to a computer?
Sent from my MB865 using XDA

No. sadly, if you deleted pics through your phone they're gone for good. Pics are the one thing that is automatically saved to the sd card. If you have any pics (from the camera) you can find them on your sd card in a folder called "DCIM". Use ES file explorer or your computer to find the folder.

I actually figured out how to mount the SD card and then scan for files using a program.

Dropbox is great for this...I'm experimenting with Google+ right now. With what I'm taking pictures of these days, the worst that happens is everyone sees a "problem area" of my hotel that I'm getting maintenance or housekeeping to work on. So far, it's keeping everything private and I'm not having any issues with upload.

Yea that would have not worked for me not having the picture deleted. Apparently girls don't like pictures of them taken while they are bored at a baseball game.

yes, it is, just with a proper data recovery software, like Jihosoft Photo Recovery for Mac. Stop using you phone and connect it to computer via USB, start this program, you will be able to recover deleted pictures from your phone with ease.

This is because "deleting" something on an sd card just marks it ok to over-right, but does not break the actual logic gates in the card. this means the data is still there, until something else is put in it's place.

Does CleanROM and TWRP folders need to be in the phone hard drive?

These folders alone take up over 2gb of the 10 available. Cleanrom holds a few folders and cleanmods zip. Twrp holds 1 backup and preboot animations.
Can I just throw them on my comp or dropbox? Or do they need to stay in the HOX hard drive?

You can delete them. Hey are just there for mods and backups. I suggest storing all your backups on the computer anyway, some people's SD cards are getting wiped during flashes.

I store mine on Dropbox so I can grab them whenever.
But OP, you might leave CleanMods.zip in place unless you're sure you don't want to change any of the mods later.

Do you have Dropsync? It's a must if your're a power Dropbox user--it lets you set up your phone to run like the desktop version of DB. I've got it set up with a folder on my MBP so anything I drop in there is automatically copied to the Documents folder on my HOX and vice versa. I also use it to keep my backups in order automatically.

Something I did deleted 2 apps and even though I uninstalled and tried to reinstall, I'd get a fail message. Xda and gun bros.
I've attached a screenshot of the 2 files I moved to Downloads folder before the apps went missing and moved back to root of disk drive, then I was able to get xda and gun bros back.
Any idea wtf they are? The last 2 that start with mmc.

Those 2 files are used for unlocking your phone. You need to keep those somewhere. I have it in my original email from HTC.

Lol thanks guys. I just tried to move it to clean up the root menu and thought it screwed with those 2 apps. Hot sure what else I could've done. Is there something in the CleanROM folder I need to keep in the disk drive? I put that back too
