[Q] How to open Nexus 4 internal storage dump? - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
I'm trying to recover some deleted files (I've tried some apps but they can recovery only some known formats, jpg, doc, contacts, I didn't find a generic one) so I made a full internal memory dump using this guide -> df.lth.se/~jokke/androidfilerecovery/.
Now I'm trying to use testdisk to recover my files but using it against the dump, it finds only one partition with no files inside.
How can I do this job? Did I make something wrong (excluding deleting things I need :crying. Dumpfile is about 15GB big.
Thank you!

Nandroid images

Hi to all,
I'am interested in the images produced by the Nandroid tool.
Can anyone tell me if they are physical images of the file system of the internal memory (including eventually deleted files/dirs) or logical ones ?
Thanks in advance!!

[Q] image folder deleted - how to recover?

Hi, I just deleted the camera folder in gallery (dcim folder on internal sd).
Does anyone know a working recovery app or pc tool that works on internal sd?
I tried several ones, but no luck.
Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure about apps, but some of the desktop software may help. There's a company called Active that has a couple options that may help, such as UNDELETE or File Recovery. The main problem is the fact that this is flash memory. If you've written to the card any since you deleted the folder you dramatically reduce your chances of being able to recover those files.
Also, it depends on how new the card is as the more data has been written and rewritten to it, the lower your chances of being able to recover. That goes for all re-writeable storage. Hopefully that helps ... good luck.
If you're unfortunate enough to not already updated to Jellybean, you can use USB Mass Storage mode and try using PhotoRec to recover files.
THIS is why we need USB mass storage mode... MTP just doesn't cut it.

[Q] Recovering files after partition SD card

Hi all
I made a silly mistake - went to partition my SD card before backing up. Lost some contacts and files I want to get back if possible.
I made a copy of the disk image on my computer using dd, and tried TestDisk to find the previous partitions.. no joy so far.
I did the partitioning with CWM 4.0.1.4
Just wondering if anyone knows some other tools I can try?
Thanks!

Maybe this list can be able to help you :

Inaccessible files after rom change

Hello guys! I'm in a bit of an odd situation here.
What is happening is that my Mate 7 has files, which are physically written in the internal storage, but with no way to access them.
Here (i.imgur.com/jyEUiSX.png) you can see that the disk usage analyzer detects those files, but when listing all files, it doesn't show them... causing the results to not add up.
(Also here? i.imgur.com/mjZDyS5.jpg)
Here's what caused it:
I was flashing an unofficial CM11 (the first one available for the M7) that seemingly created a different partition for data storage, instead of using the one that the stock rom was using before. I moved my files there, but decided to restore my backup of the stock rom. But that cut access to that new partition completely, though the files themselves weren't deleted.
If anyone has a clue on how I can make those files accessible again, input is greatly appreciated!

How To recover my photos from my rooted android

Hi i recently made a backup with wondershare mobile trans and it created a .BAK file of 30gb and it is corrupted i don't know why, I can't read videos and photos (if you know any way to access the data in it even if it is corrupted please tell me), i tried extracting it with winrar but it only extracts 6gb of some photos , the rest is corrupted it can't finish extraction.
I flashed a new rom and orange fox recovery , i have root access , i installed disk digger with full root access but it can't find any photo (not a single one) in my internal storage , is there any way to recover my photos from internal storage ?
I flashed my phone before knowing The backup file .BAK was corrupted
If you flash a ROM then Android's internal storage memory - who is surprised ? - gets completely overwritten, means previously stored data have been lost.

I formatted internal storage before flashing the new rom
Steps to recover your deleted data from your rooted Android device-
1. Connect Your Android device.
2. Launch Android Data Recovery software on computer and choose 'Data Recovery'
3. Choose file types to Scan
4. Preview and restore lost data from Android phone.
Stop using your phone to prevent new files from overwriting lost data. Then try to use data recovery software to detect the photos from internal storage. If it can be detected, recovery is simple.

I tend to think it's a lost cause especially if the drive is zeroed out when you flashed.
Don't know but...
This wouldn't surprise me as it's a wise precaution to ensure a clean flash/load.
Even if not overwritten the file structure is lost as that was certainly overwritten when you flashed it. All you will find at best is completely random disjointed files.
The images will have no metadata ie time stamp etc. If you have hundreds, thousands of random images just forgetting about them becomes the less frustrating option many times. There's no way to index them except by memory, one at a time.
Been there, done that
