[Q] hide it pro.. lost files.

I just lost all files within hide it pro. I thought they were initially within a vault in programdata/android/language/.fr or something like that. I had all my pictures. When I went to look at the vault storage location by going to 'change location' it just said sdcard/sdcard0 or something like that. So I decided I'd be sure and move the vault to the above location. It said success.. and now my files are all gone from the program. I can't find them in file manager either.

Thanks. I've read through there but I don't really see anything about missing files. Deleted files I know you can recover but I didn't delete these...

Hey, I had a suggestion for you over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38751085#post38751085
It's for using an ADB shell to grep through a find for your missing files. Hopefully you can recover/find them with this.

FIXED
go to settings then advanced settings then FInd Missing Files. tap it and all should be fine

hope this helps.

hey guys, I know this is an old threat but I was just wondering if someone could help me. I had some pics and vids stored with hide it pro, did a backup with SmartSwitch (I have a galaxy S6), wiped my phone and used the backup I did again to safe some time setting up my entire phone. Everything is right there where it was except for the files from hide it pro. Why? They must be somewhere but where? Or didn't they get backed up with SmartSwitch? Anyone an idea? Thanks for your help guys

It did not work,
I only deleted the application cache and rebboot the phone.
Still showing a small square in the middle "Camera" that when pressed activates the camera.
This is the same for Camera Roll, Albums and Videos.

The directories that you posted is good (all normal)
Try looking for files named .nomedia in those folders (and delete them) or try to move the folders somwwhere else and delete app cache and data and try again
Also, go to sdcard/android/data and delete a folder named
com.motorola.MotGallery2
Or something similar

Hi,
I did what you said and it did not work.
In addition I tried several things:
1. Cleared cache and data, stopped the application, and retrieved to the original app that is 200.....
it did not work.
2. Cleared cache and data, stopped the application, updated through google play,
Next took a picture (to verify the destination that the Camera was saving the picture), and the Gallery showed it.
Open a new directory an moved old and new pictures to it. (the new picture disappeared)
Cleared cache and data, reboot the phone and copied the pictures into the original destination
None showed in the Gallery (neither the new one)
3. Cleared data, changed the date to yesterday, (to see if it is a matter of date), reboot, but nothing good.
4. Checked the path on the root: storage/emulated/0/dcim and it is ok.
Any new idea? Thx

I found the problem and managed to see the pictures.
A use ES Explorer as a File Manager.
In ES EXPlorer I whent to settings/display settings/show hidden files.
next I followed your first suggestion:
searched for files ".nomedia" and found 3 this time, I deleted all 3
I deleted the directory: com.motorola.MotGallery2
but still I could not see the pictures
I moved the pictures out of the "camera" directory and placed them under DCIM.
cleared data
reboot.
and bingo.
Thank you very much for your time.

Saving people tags in the stock gallery app

Hi guys,
I've had a galaxy s6 edge soon in a year and just had to flash android m and so on but it didnt work "software brick" bla bla so now i'm back at it with 5.1.1 but all my tags on 100 people i did with the stock samsung gallery app are gone and reset now how can i prevent this from happening? I'd like to sort it again but in a way so that it can be saved and if the photos are loaded to the phone again they show up the same. In case i had to do a factory reset again you know.
Best regards, Specter

Id have to assume there would be a gallery.config file somewhere on the root drive where the gallery app is stored. If you have root it would be an easy task to back up, Use Titanium BackUp to back up the gallery app files, goto where its saved and copy the config file, might need to mod it after an update tho. Give it a shot and see how you go?

Recovery Software for root content - /data/data after factory reset?

Hey guys, I've got a problem. I want to restore my com.whatsapp dir in /data/data/, is that possible somehow? Someone had a similar problem back in 2015 and it is said that he could not restore any, but I have software which backed up all videos and photos, but it didn't recover the files I wanted (because you only could choose things like: doc's, pics, movies etc).
Do you guys have an idea, please?
Or do you guys know how to verify whatsapp? I've been using my old number for 5 years now, 2-3 years ago I got a new sim card. Since then, I've always made a backup with titanium or took the backup from whatsapp itself and if you enter ur number and whatsapp recognized a backup, it didn't have to verify anymore. But it's been changed now somehow, they want to verify one's number and then it'll first try backing up (but I do not have that sim anymore). And unfortunately, titanium backup made a corrupt file exactly with the whatsapp file <_<
Thanks in Advance!

WhatsApp doesn't store your media (received images, videos, chat messages, etc.) in the com.whatsapp folder in /data/data, but it stores it in your internal sdcard itself in a folder named WhatsApp. Take that folder with you and put it in the new phone/tablet where you want to continue your WhatsApp usage.
Verification is straight-forward. All you have to do is do a fresh install of WhatsApp on this new phone/tab of yours and start it. If you had placed this backed-up WhatsApp folder on the internal sdcard of the new device, WhatsApp will ask you and automatically import this media on your new device.
Hope that helps.

Hello, thank you for your help.
As I said, I don't want the media, I want the data of whatsapp. I backed up all the media anyway and the recover programs only recovered the media, but I want to recover the whatsapp data.
"WhatsApp will ask you and automatically import this media on your new device."
That is how it used to be, I think they changed their system. You now first have to verify your number and afterwards, you're importing ur whatsapp backup folder. after verifying to another number (not the one I wanted) my old data has been backuped.

In that case, I don't think its going to be easy to retrieve the old chat contents easily unless you have WhatsApp running on your older device. If you have it running on the older device by any chance, you can refer to this manual and create a Chat Backup to your Google Drive, so that later you can restore it from Google Drive on your new phone/tablet. I suppose this is the only way to create WhatsApp chat backups going forward.

Well, I flashed another rom, so I don't got any possibility to return to that version. That's why I ask for an recovery software which also can recover root files. I didn't think it would be so hard to find, because there are some which recovery plenty of other files, I just needed one which includes /data/data folder AND any files, no matter which ending they have (like *.*, where * is a wildcard for any matches), so I hoped someone of you would know any software?

What software did you originally use to take the backup? If it was Titanuium Backup, then what went wrong while restoration?
In case you have the actual file system backup of /data/data/com.whatsapp, you can directly try pasting that folder in the new setup using Root Explorer (or similar app) and see whether it works. But of course, you'll need to be rooted on your new setup.

[ROOT NEEDED]
Maybe GT recovery is the app you are looking for. Basically this app recovers your lost data even after a hard reset by exploiting some resources in the root directory. By this app you can recover the whole folder of your WhatsApp. Just type in the full directory path in the app.
May this help you.

Unfortunately, the exactly the whatsapp backup is a corrupted .rar file, only has 0.0 kb data... @tiger1487 I got root on my phone, but the problem with GT recovery is, that you need the paid version for using it. But tbh, I'm not willing to pay 15e to try if it eventually could recover my needed data, so I'd ask you, if you know another software which is similar to this one? I can't search for one unfortunately, because if you google for it, you just get some to backup a factory image via cwm or twrp or something :x

I am a new member so i cant send you the link of the all free GT recovery but i can tell you that just type 'GT recovery cracked' in the google search engine. You will get it for free[Tip: If you type 'cracked' in front of any app name on google search, you will get it for free, just look for some trusted website like 'onhax' or 'okhax' or 'crackedapkfull']

And I forgot to tell that GT recovery is now more updated. Now there is no need to type in the exact path. There is a direct option for Recover WhatsApp. Likewise there are other options too for messenger, call logs, etc if you need it?

Oh, you were talking of the app, thought of the windows software. The app itself is free, isn't it? I tried the app, it stucks at 0% scanning and I don't think it'll work. Tried different apps, it seems they're only looking for sdcard/whatsapp/database instead of data/data/com.whatsapp so it would be awesome if I could set a path
Thank you very much for your help.

Yes its free...windows version is paid but my app doesn't stuck. Mine one is working perfectly. See that you try some other older versions of the app too. Maybe you downloaded the version that stucks at 0% or something like that.

Sorry for answering late :x
Okay, it seems that my root was broken somehow, but now as it works, the program tells me I am not rooted (now I am for sure!) and wants me to download Kingo root or something. But anyway, I had GBWhatsapp installed on my phone, so I think the app won't help me because it would search for com.whatsapp instead of com.gbwhatsapp (could that be possible?)
I found the app Undeleter, this has some more path search options but unfortunately not one where I can specify my desired path. So, I hope you got one last idea?

Then search in android/data/Com.dualspace
it should be in the android folder, that's for sure.
Just find the package name of your clone app, and then find the folder corresponding to that app.
