i do not know what the hell to do, i hope someone can help me. if this isnt the right forum please move it to the proper one.
using SCR Screen Recorder i made a few videos, plugged in my shield to the computer and noticed that there was a folder called "sdcard" with only one folder "screenrecorder" so i thought "well, it only has that, im gonna delete it" i deleted it and somehow i only have 12.7 GBs of space left in total now, thats how much shows up on the computer and in the shield its self.
how can i fix this myself?
i do not have an old recovery image when i first rooted my shielf.

like the sd card...i tried to figure out the sd card and dont know how to save to it? like if i take a picture how do i put it on sd? can apps be saved on SD? this thing is gunna kill me! how do i download a movie to it from itunes rental or can i even? if not how do i get movies on the thing?!
very frustrated i must say
okay i figured out that if i hold my finger on the file it will open a manager...gives option to move delete past copy etc... is this how to do it...just copy and paste stuff?
Gtablet is my first android device and it took me a couple of days to get familiar with it and android. If I don't want how to do something, I just press either the "menu" button or hold my finger onto the screen for a few secs to see anything show up.. good luck!
Just google for android shortcuts, the OS works a bit different depending on device, but there are several common functions as well.

I feel your pain. There are a bunch of good people in here willing to help but even with them is hard. especially when you don't have a club what they are talking about.
Hi, I have a Huawei Ascend running Android 2.1 as far as I know (eclair i think?) and I was making a note in notepad with some important info, but I hit delete by accident instead of save and it had important information on it. Does anyone know how I can recover the note?
Help would be much appreciated, thanks
Did the same thing awhile ago.... its gone man
See, I would do that, or even run some Recovery program on my phone's memory, but when I plug in my phone to my computer (there's no microsd card inside I'm just using internal memory) all I can view are the phone drivers and the manual. Not sure how to actually access any other data. Ugh I'm in such a tight jam right now ;_;
Hi, hope someone can help...Saturday morning I connected my Verizon Note 7 to my computer and went to copy over some content to my PC and I accidentally deleted the DCIM folder from my phone's internal memory when it momentarily locked up. It deleted instead of copying it. I had not copied anything over to the PC so there is no backup data there.
In the DCIM folder was about 1000 pictures and videos of my kids and family from the last 4 months, everything prior to that was backed up elsewhere already. The most important thing is pictures and videos from my daughters wedding in November! Those videos have huge sentimental value and are unfortunately irreplaceable!
Everything I've read online hasn't helped at all, the phone is not rooted or anything and I haven't rooted a phone since maybe 2010? Not sure what's even involved in that anymore. I'm pretty sure I'd need to do that to make my internal storage show up on any of the recovery apps but I'm honestly clueless with the app names and acronyms I've seen while researching this issue.
Any insight to how I can recover this data is appreciated! I typically backup my phone more often and it just slipped my mind recently. Was going to backup this morning since my Note 7 got turned off yesterday.
If anyone can help, it would be incredibly appreciated!!! I don't know where to turn to. If this is posted in the wrong section, I'm sorry for the mistake, feel free to move.
Thank you!!!
Hi !
You can try this tutorial

Or you can Google search for DCIM android folder recovery
Good luck !
So I selected photo to delete and it somehow selected albums. So now Almost all my important pictures and videos are gone. I downloaded several apps and got back a good bit of pictures but I did not recover any videos. I read several pages about rooting the phone to actually get all the stuff back. Is this something that needs done? Also doesn't rooting wipe your phone so would that get rid of the deleted items? I am so devastated those pictures were my life and like an idiot I didn't back them up. Any ideas on how I can recover them?
Any ideas? I read an article saying you can root the phone and still recover deleted items but want to see what you guys think.

If your files were stored internal there's a big chance that the rest might've got overwritten by other applications. On SD-Card you might be able to get more back but if you worked with it (meaning storing other files or probably even editing), it will most likely overwrite them.
Since every phone behaves different I can't say what you should use. I can only say what I read the most people suggesting.
They talk about the program recuva, which runs on your computer. After connecting your phone to your pc, they say you should run a 'deep scan'.
I never used it myself so I can't say if it works. You'd have to search how to use it.
(Program Link: Piriform - Recouva)
Rooting might also help in your favor, because those apps have more access to the storage and can perform actions normal apps can't do in there rather limited workspace.
But rooting also means writting/modifying data on your phone which could use the space where the remainings of your files are stored (deppends if they are internal or external/sd-card).
But from my expirence on pc, chances are very slim that you get all of your files back. I accidentally formatted my hard disk and after force stopping the process I only could restore about ~30% of my files (and most of them were corrupted).
You see formating or deleting doesn't actually delets stuff.
You could see all your stored files as a book and the index is that what you can see in your file manager. When you delete something it doesn't touches the file at first, it only deletes the entry in the index that a file was at that point in your storage and tells the system that place is free to use again. So apps will begin using that free space. After that it becomes almost imposible to get the file back.
Hi,
I just deleted a video by mistake couple of days ago, I loved that video clip a lot it was my baby boy first year old birthday video I downloaded many recovery software, (recuva, Jihosoft, Dr. Fine etc) they either could not found out the deleted data or problem with rooting. I don't know what is rooting, but I set my cell phone is now developer version now. Can anyone recommend me a software that work?
Keep your phone turned off. When a file gets deleted its space is marked as available, and larger spaces gets to be overwritten first. Longer you use your phone, more there is a risk of the file getting damaged.
Edit: Since You are not rooted, anything you do on your phone has a great possibility of overwriting the video file. On an android phone without root file recovery apps are your best bet, but I dont know if anything good exists in the android ecosystem.
On my previous rooted phone, I took a full disk image incase the files got overwritten, I would have backups. Then I used photorec on my computer, or some other apps to recover as much as I can.
You cant take a full disk image or let the software on your PC to access your phone since Android uses this dumb MTP thing for file transfers.
