I was doing the motochopper root last night and, as you know, it requires downgrading from the last fw. I backed up all the apps using Helium (epic fail, but that's another story), moved some apk's that I had in the download folder and so on and while I was sitting back watching the erase process I realised that I completelly forgot the DCIM folder :crying:
Is there any solution for recovering the photos or they are gone for good? I realise the fact that you cannot connect the TF700T as USB storage isn't helping either, but maybe someone knows a solution that I didn't managed to find.
Thanks a lot.
There are some data recovery apps in the Play Store. I don't have any experience with them, but that's probably your only option.

Thank you, but these seem to only work with FAT file system (SD card).

Unrooted ,untouched TF101 with OTA ICS.
How can I do a factory reset and keep all my stuff ?
In storage I see my SD card is almost empty so all my photos and such and stored internally, How can I move them so they won't get lost ?
What about free and paid apps and all their stored information too ?

Just move what you want to save (photos and such) to the external sd card or to a PC.
Your apps that you download from Market is link to your Google account so once you sign back in with the same account it will get restore.
Data will be lost

I'm kind of in the same boat, except I did try to use Asus App Backup, except that it fails on all. I'm trying to backup 23 installed apps, 167 MB total - well under the 600 MB limit. This is after the ICS update. Any suggestions as to why it won't work? Tried titanium (free version) but it seemed to be overkill for what I wanted to do. I don't have a ton of pictures or music, all that can be easily replaced. I'm more concerned about a few apps I've gotten from Amazon and a couple of other places (all legal), but may not be able to re-install.
Hate to have to revive this but i haven't been able to find an answer. Mine always freezes at 7% or 12% no matter if full or partial app list. I lost root for awhile with .21 update so couldn't use TB. I am now rerooted but trying to get Asus' stock app to work on their product as ridiculous as that may sound. Doesn't matter if I use internal or external sd card.
That brings up another issue that my tfp keeps losing recognition of my external sd card. Havent been able to find any help on this either.
Hello I wonder if making a full phone backup to PC's hard drive would be possible...I mean something similar to Acronis trueimage of Windows partition...but do this on phone with exclusion of the main firmware. Because of no SDcard slot I need store everything to connected PC HDD...
Looked at TitaniumBackup which probably is close to what I need but I'm afraid it lacks support for storing to networked location. Any working solution is highly appreciated

Take backup using Cwm and u can reflash it using ir phone again.

You need to root (gain root/superuser access) your device and install a custom recovery. Clockwork Mod is one of the (CWM), TWRP is another (having used both, I prefer TWRP - but you can try either/both yourself). You can then copy or cut the backed-up files from the recovery's folder to your computer.
Thanks, probably give it a try if anything else fails. Would it be possible to mount a windows shared drive to phone's internal filesystem? So that TB could access it as internal folder...
use nandroid backup (cwm)
you must root your device
backup cwm will get what you want
or you can try this GO Backup Pro 2.9

Thanks for the advices. I finally managed to install CWM
CWM's backup = Nandroid?
This works for SDcard, however the condition to backup directly to my PC's hard drive is not met
Remember I suffer with lack of space on builtin SDcard so I need to exclude it from backup process at all even as temporary location.
One more question about CWM, where can I find the latest version? I have 6.0.1.2.

Yeah, you need to be able to access files in the phone not on sd card, the phone has a seperate memory he wants to access, I think he is asking how to put the phone (everything) onto PC.... im not sure how to do this myself but I will look into it for you, I believe you can access that info but im not sure where the files you want are.
The backup is saved into /sdcard/clockworkmod/blob/ but the problem I have with it is that used soace in internal memory is over 1.5GB while free space on Sdcard is usually several 100s MB...

Hello everyone,
because of some reason (I am not sure why, maybe I was doing an update by pushing "ok" somewhere) my GT2 doesn't boot anymore. There comes the Boot Screen with the Melody and then it writes "SAMSUNG" and then...REBOOT. This loops again and again.
The most important thing for me is now, to recover my Pictures I have saved on the device. They are on the internal flash (not SD Card) so I cannot take it out and plug it into my PC. So I have no idea how the get my data.
Because of the importance of the pictures (I really don't care about warranty now, there are so many Pictures of my son on it) I just installed ClockWorkMod Recovery (6.0.1.2) with hope to get data. However, I have no idea what to do now. There is a backup menu when I open it, but is this what I am looking for? Is there any way to access my images???
Thanks!!!
Regards

If its just your images just do a backup and flash a new rom using recovery. Internal sd card will not be erased by doing that. Just do not format internal and all is well. And when you get the new rom up you can use titanium backup pro to restore your apps from nandroid.

In CWM mount usb storage and plug into a computer.

Hi,
first: Thank you very very much for your help!!
I will try this when I am back at home. I have CWM on my Device but it is not rooted. Is this enough to install a new Samsung Firmware (e.g. from SamMobile) or do I need to root the device?
@shakatu: Can I access the internal flash storage this way? That would be fantastic. I will try this immediately when I can!
Thanks!

I checked the box to delete a whole day's worth of photos by accident. Did it before it had time to back-up to Verizon cloud, Google Photos, or anything
Device: Google Pixel XL Verizon stock - running 7.1.2 NHG47N (never rooted)
Question:
- Can I recover the photos/videos I deleted from my phone?
I am willing to root, create drive images, back-ups, the works. I've now spent a good 8-10hrs trying to find any working Mac OSX software and Android software to recover these deleted files/photos/videos but no luck. I've tried to find means to root my device but since it seems to be a Verizon Google Pixel XL I can't see that means working either.
Is there anyway to treat the phone as an external harddrive and create an exact image of the drive? Copy it and restore deleted files that way? Or any any any way to recover the files?
Much help would be appreciated, and I would be very grateful for your kindness. Best regards.
Have you searched the Play Store for an app to undelete files? I realize that every use of your phone's storage including downloading apps has the chance to overwrite some of what you want to recover, but that might be your best chance.
Unfortunately since Android started using MTP for USB file transfers, I don't know if any method exists to mount as an actual drive that would be scanable by the likes of Recuva or another Windows undelete program.

I've tried this before and here's my experience. Most Android disk digging tools require a drive that isn't internal storage to be able to write the recovered data to. This would seem doable using otg but I've never tested it and so disk digging apps aren't gonna save you unless otg is properly mountable. Windows solutions also seem to not recognize the internal storage
Hello guys, I have a S8+ 955U version tmobile. I was on oreo beta and wanted to revert back to 7.0 latest which is G955USQS2BRB1. I odin the files but it caused me to format my internal memory. i lost all my photos of my newborn.
How can I get them back?
I've tried a few programs but I have to be rooted which I'm not.
I found a thread SAMPWNED to root device but I can't downfrade that far back.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. no i did not have an sd card in the phone, all files were saved on internal.
It's really difficult to recover photos from a formatted internal SD card. Best option, I think, would be try some other recovery apps, so see if they have access to your phone, though I don't think they will have that type of low-level access.
Another possibility might be to use ADB and if you can, pre-system/security startup, enable ADB within the phone, and then you might be able to do a recovery scan of the phone partitions.
There are a few (vague?) how to's on using ADB to enter the phone pre-system/security. Search 'sonnettie', the author of one method, and you will likely find other author off-shoots of the same type of method. If I don't stay current with a thing, I forget most of the details, but that was his original(?) method, which as I was told, came to be used by others to get into the phone pre-system startup/security. It might have been obviated by the Oreo update with a bug fix.
Did you have Samsung backup configured? If so it should have uploaded the photos and you would be able to restore them. If you don't make a backup your photos are already lost, you never know when your phone might die, be stolen or in this case get formatted. Google photos is a good alternative to keep your photos backing up.
Some people have incorrectly stated that it is possible to recover the photos after formatting internal storage. The data partition is encrypted by default and unless you are able to recover both, encryption key (it was most likely overwritten during first boot after factory reset) and the part of the partition containing the photos, you cannot get your photos back. Also, I have not seen any commercial data recovery software, which is capable of finding encryption keys and deciphering corrupted data partition.
Exactly, the phone is encrypted, not remotely possible to recover the photos scanning the memory

good to know.
Thanks everyone for your input. After spending countless hours trying to root phone so I could get a data recovery program on it, I gave up. Turns out I had google photos and Samsung cloud turned on and it synced all my media. I got all my media back on my phone.
Thanks guys
@OP
i want to remind you that if you are doing like updating, flashing, modifying, always make a back up thank god samsung cloud is doing that for you., but i always make a hard copy to my sd card always you newer know right. i am happy for you that you got your data back
