[Q] encrypted internal SDcard recovery?? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

HELP! is it possible to recover files from corrupted encrypted internal SDcard? My OneXL is using RebelROM and my battery got fully empty. After I boot up the phone I have the "Damaged phone storage" error. Now it is asking me to format SDcard. Tried accessing via TWRP but it is not mounted and cannot mount.
Greatly appreciate for any solution.. :crying:

Looked into the freezer attack for you, since its the only thing I heard of regarding recovering encrypted disks, but I think the phone needs too be on and decrypted while cooling down to 5℉.
Sorry man! Hope it wasn't anything too important on there!

I think the problem there is that the file system is encrypted, so I'm not sure the data recovery program would find anything but what looks like gibberish on the virtual disk.
But someone with more technological finesse than might know a way around that.

This is correct.
Op could always send it to a data recovery specialist if he's filthy rich and the files mean that much to him.

[Q] Micro SD Card question

so my phone deleted everything off of my sdcard and you know how your pics and everything is litterly like your world or life. how can i restore all my files? or am i totally f'ed?
i was also wondering is there something for your phone like how your computer can be restored to a date before. is there a way or program to do this to your phone and micro SD memory card??
please help me i really dont wanna have to redo everything on my sdcard again):
If the card was wiped its gone and I don't think the phone makes restore points like a computer does. Best you can do is back up your rom periodically but that wont bring back the SD card data.

I'm not sure how your phone would've done that; that usually requires a deliberate action. Unless you somehow converted the filesystem on the sdcard, it should be a VFAT filesystem. Basically the filesystem from Windows 95, 98, ME, etc. I can't think of an easy way to recover that. There might be a tool out there to do it.
Hopefully someone else has a better answer.

Ouch. I'm afraid the data's probably lost, man. If it partitioned the card it probably wrote a new partition table. There might be some file recovery utilities you can run from Windows to try and recover the files but I don't know how successful they would be.
I thought I read somewhere there was an app to retrieve old deleted data from a sd card somewhere in these sgs4g forums. a guy did almost the same thing and said he got most of it back, try searching some key words

Given that it got re-partitioned, though....
Unless you do a Full Format, or fill the card with new files, most of the time when stuff deletes, the index information is removed or something like that, and it's just invisible, until it's overwritten. So if you can find a recovery program it should be able to find the data. Last time I looked there weren't many free ones, but it's worth a google search.
I agree with goddi2010. I also remember reading that one of our members had a similar problem and was able to recover lost data. He even mentions what he did/used to recover the data.
Somewhere in our forum the help you need is there. Good luck searching and when you find the info please let us know how it worked out for you...
Sorry I can't be more specific.
I just used the program Recuva ( it's free ). Install it on your computer and plug your phone in or put the card in a reader then run Recuva and select the quick scan and it will bring up everything that has been deleted and it will tell you if it can recover it or not. It has work for me multiple times.

Help I accidently formatted the internal SD

Fat fingers the touch recovery......I just killed the internal SD,
Can I just reinstall ROM ? or do I need to do something else, first...
I tried to reinstall rom from external but stuck on boot animation, but not boot looping.
Thanks
Ignore!
Its almost like it cant find the internal card.
I tried to instal from internal SD...just to see if I can see any directories
and say no files found, and kicks me out.
When I do mount USB storage, only my EXT shows up, no internal no longer pops up.....am I screwed ?
How can I confirm my internal SD card is mounted/unmounted properly.
Thanks for any help
Can you get into recovery or download mode?
If you can get into download mode I would probably just reflash stock firmware and start over.
I tried that, I did ODIN to stock, it loaded the bootloader, but was stuck on boot loops again.
As far as I can tell, phone isnt seeing the internal SD card. Or I am missing the steps to make the phone see it via clock work.
I can access CWM, and DL mode.... in CWM, I can do mount USB, only my EXT shows up.
I format the internal sd(emmc) before every rom flash. Just install rom from external sd card. There is nothing left on the emmc, you wiped it
I think I m hosed....
I think something went wrong with format.
I tried to reinstall ROM, and during install
error: cant mount csdard.adnoird.secure etc...
what version of cwm?
It touch clock work mod recovery. v.5.8.1.3
Error message is
Formatting /sdcard/.andoird_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Question, are able to mount and see internal SD, after the format emmc via usb storage on PC ? Right now only the EXT shows up for me if I USB mount

I don't use that recovery. I use 5.8. I don't use internal to do anything, I always use external to flash from and store my important stuff. After a while of flashing things the emmc gets jammed up with nonsense.
Just use 5.8 touch, the have to mount and put hidden process folders in that version you have sucks.
Any chance you can link me to the recovery you use, I want to make sure I have the same one.
Thanks you again for the help. Its very appriciated

Awesome job xcrazydx, helping this guy out!!
Good to see a potential train wreck that I'm not part of, get fixed so quickly & expertly!!
Just curious, what's the difference between the two versions of CWM Touch, I'm wondering because I am also using 5.1.8.3? Is it the recovery image, or is this Touch the one developed on xda?

The 5.8 is actually a hercules version for the tmo variant. The sk8er 5.5 or whatever it is, is a version adapted specifically for the rocket, and supposedly it performs the wipe and fix functions correctly. As long as you set it up right and put the hiddenprocess folder and mount sd every time you use it. Last I knew it still won't see both sd cards at the same time. I just don't like dicking around with all that stuff.
Sk8er could probably give you a better explanation of them, I think it even mentions it throughout his thread. I have no problems with the 5.8 version and I couldn't recommend the OP on how to navigate the version he had because I don't use it. So I just moved him to the version I use. Lol
i used 5.8.1.3 and have never had any problems.... i even wipe emmc between flashes. should i not be using this one? how can i get the other?

[Q]rooted 2.2, Installed CM10 on HOX, cant copy files!

Hey guys,
I have a question.
I'm successfully rooted and installed cm10 thanks to the help of this forum and got thought i got everything working. However, when I tried to copy music, it does not show up on the one x!
Not sure why, i decided to check the storage options in settings. If i go to settings, storage. I see a whopping 2.34 gigabytes of available space!!
not sure if this is because of the cm10 install or what? I had to reformat the disk at one points.
If i go to my computer and look at it, its 9.92 gig capacity, and im only using 1.57 GB. Its formatted in FAT32.
Does anyone know what my problem is?
Thank you!
UPDATE:
so i found this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33301423
i tried going into MTP mode in USB computer connection (storage, settings, usb computer connection) it selects for a second, then defaults to mass storage.
Do you think it could be something witih me mounting the sd card wrong in TWRP?
2.34GB is the phone storage
9.93GB is the sdcard
try wiping sdcard inside settings

You can wipe it from recovery or in the ROM of the phone. Either one should work. If you do it from TWRP, make sure to use FAT32
If I wipe my sd card.. Wouldn't I lose all my files?

If you can't mount your SD card in recovery or from within CM10, your internal* storage is possibly corrupted.
Plug your phone into your computer and try mounting the SD card as a disk drive and scan for errors
doing a factory reset in bootloader will cause your sdcard to corrupt.

great resource here... im doing this now. will report back.
EDIT: yep, works now. follow the instrucitons on the link.
its kinda confusing, but when you go into twrp, your SD is ALREADY mounted, so dont hit unmount...
WHen you are done copying music/games/pron or whatever, make sure you safely remove it before turning file transfer off on your phone. and you should b OK

[Q] (SD card?) data loss

guys, I need your help.
I bought a htc one x in september 2012, rogers canada.
i did a factory reset 5 months ago and it did not touch my SD card data. I upgraded to jelly bean and did another factory reset a few days ago, not expecting it would wipe my SD car, but it did.
I am guilty of not making a SD card backup, but I just didn't expect it to be wiped, cause it wasn't the first time i did the factory reset.
So now I am trying to do a data recovery, but my problem is the PC doesn't see the SD card as a drive anymore, and neither do any of the data recovery programs i am trying to use.
I couldn't find any data recovery app that runs from the phone, which would probably see the SD card and recover files.
Any clues on how to get my data (photos, pdfs, docs, music) back?
Thank you!
P.S. did I understend well that the SD card is not actually an SD card but an integrated whatever? Why would they call it an SD card then? stupid?

Your pc won't see it as a usb device with 4.1.1 it will show as a one x in device manager and windows explorer
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
It still follows the secure digital standard so it is still an sd card regardless of being removable or not. It's not stupid for them to call it so as its well published that this device has no removable storage.
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
You did a factory reset from the bootloader, which corrupts the SD card.
I believe since its corrupted, the only way to fix it is to reformat. Once you do, your data is gone. Some folks might have other ideas. But I think this is what the answer was when the question came up before (not that long ago, maybe a week or 2 ago).
exad already answered the question about it being called an SD card. Plus, some apps access the SD for storing data, and the OS can move some app data to SD. So again, it behaves as an SD, just that its not removable. Calling it something else would be confusing.
yup, the win explorer sees it(but not as a drive...), but the other programs with which I am trying to recover data do not see it so i cannot recover.

I am trying to follow some steps and flash a recovery onto it to mount the sd card as a drive. I have a problem though, although i have installed the htc drivers to my computer, the adb still gives back device not found error(which should mean the driver is not properly installed and or it is a wrong driver) and i dont know enough about drivers and that stuff. can anyone maybe help which driver top install?
HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe is the one that doesn't help seemingly

Recovery programs won't read it, since its corrupted. You have to format it using Windows, which will make your data irrecoverable (I believe).
Mounting in recovery won't work either. It won't mount USB when its corrupted. You can still try it. But I don't think it will work.
I hoped this would work, i found it on this forum, but i am stuck on the device not found (driver?) error.
What do you think? thanks redpoint73

Solved
Thank you Redpoint for your thoughts. I hoped that I would find an easy reply to solve my problem but in the end this is what I knew I ultimately had to do.
Quick summary:
Unlocked Bootloader via HTC Dev.
Flashed Recovery, Team Win Recovery Project 2.4.1.0
Mounted SD as a drive via Recovery.
Ran RecoverMyFiles v5 and recovered the files that I lost.
Now to go ROM shopping and start again. This time I will listen to my own warning and keep a copy online.

Redpoint, do you think there is any chance that the sd card is not corrupted? Because, I have 10 gigs available on the phone now, so I think the card is working. Maybe I don't understand the terminology used here... What exactly do u mean by corrupted? Thanks
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Essentially, it's not corrupt but if you try to recover the data it will have been corrupted when you factory reset in bootloader so the data will not be usable.
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
Basically, the data is still there, but the system can't find it because the "roadmap" if you will, has been erased. It's like trying to find a specific apartment in New York City with no map and no addresses marked on the buildings. The only way to do it is to visit every single address in town.
You've got an added problem here because this lost storage is located in an unformatted partition on an external device, which may mean your PC simply isn't going to see it without some sort of specialized software. To stretch the metaphor further, it's trying to visit every address in a town you don't know exists.
I think that recovering your data should be possible with the right recovery program, but its likely to be more trouble than it's worth, and it's certain that many of the files you recover still won't be usable anyway.
Thanks, my problem is, I think, that I cannot take the card out and put it in some kind of reader. My knowledge in regards ends here. If the pc still wouldn't see it, I don't know how would I solve the prob.
It just seems incredible nothing can be done to access this card for the recovery purposes, when it is accessed right now through the pc with no problem for storage purposes.
Any further advice will be highly appreciated.

4.1 doesn't use the generic mass storage device driver. You can try mounting it through recovery, I believe that DOES use the generic mass storage device driver but I am not certain it will work. As stated previously, there's a very good chance whatever files you recover will not be working files anyway.

There are Free Data Recovery programs in the World but the best one is:

Surely, yes, your PC needs Administrator rights and the SD-Card isn't a big Problem because the PC has full access to the file System (Mass Storage)
Newer Smartphones only offer MTP. You can't access the Filesystem so with MTP data recovery isn't possible.
...but only if the SD-Card is inserted in the Smartphone to the PC.
Use your PC's SD-Card Slot or Adapter.

Rooting My Samsung?

Okay, so I'm in a lot of pain. I was having some serious trouble with my Samsung s4 and decided to hard reset it thinking my pictures and contacts were on my SD CARD. They weren't. And nothing was backed up to Google or my Verizon cloud. I contacted Verizon. They sent me to Samsung and vice versa. I know my files aren't permanently deleted. The feds could easily recover them you know? Those pictures meant a lot to me. So I desperately did research on how to recover my hard reset contacts and photos.. I downloaded multiple softwares that didn't work and I also came upon rooting my phone. Can someone please help me? Help me root my phone and recover my pictures? I don't want to unlock my bootloader and wipe my phone a second time. I sobbed like a two year old thinking they're gone forever.. :crying: :crying: :crying:

These tools work because most operating systems don't go through and set all of those 1's and 0's to just 0's when you delete a file. Usually the operating system will just delete the reference pointer in the index that says that a file exists with such-and-such name and it's located at this position on the hard disk / memory location." Is there no way I can get this stuff back?
You have a Samsung, either your bootloader is unlocked or it isn't, in the case that it is unlocked you could go ahead and root and it probably wouldn't take much effort. Not much else we can tell you about rooting your phone without a model number though.

External Memory is SDCARD what you want is Internal Memory, and it's pretty hard if not impossible to regain the stuff back from Internal Memory.

I did a lot of research and I keep stumbling upon Dr. Fone android recovery.. it's saying it searches internal and external. I'm driving myself up the wall here. Yikes. I wish I were more tech savvy. I see it coming now.. in the future you'll be able to undo mistakes like mine with a click of a button..
