I need your help, my phone decided to remove all of my files. As far as I know as long as something is not overwritten it's not really ever gone right? Is there any way to restore my lost data? I will do anything!
How did the data get deleted and are you rooted?

I am rooted. I browsed my phone files through my pc and saw what uneeded files I can remove, I saw a folder named storage but on propeties it only showed 38mb and only had one folder so I didn't even assume it is my storage folder. As well as that I have never ever had my storage folder inside my storage folder when I mounted my phone on my pc.
There's a lot more there than you saw on your pc. I'd chalk it up to a learning experience and start over. I don't think you're going to be able to recover everything

There has to be a way to restore the data, I didn't do anything unusual. My storage folder itself shouldn't appear in the ./ folder when I open the phone through the pc. This can happen to both simple users and expert. I got false information about the contents of this folder which led me to delete it. This is just the media files not /data or /system or anything.

Read the post rootSU linked you to. You may be able to recover the data. But it's a very involved process and as rootS said it's not for the faint of heart

Hey thanks for your help, I have installed all of the programs required and my phone is required in adb. I opened the Cygwin and entered the commands but it just wrote command not found. I also tried to add the destination at the beginning but it did not work either. How do I open adb using cygwin?

Do you have busybox instated on your device. Also, make sure you know what partition you want to recover. The one in the example may not be what you want. Google nexus 5 partitions xda.

I managed to work the adb issue out, but I'm returned with a 0 bytes file which is useless for me. I saw that issue on the thread as well but found no solution yet.
Alright I gave up the idea to restore it... although I lost some important files this is just too much work to get it back. What I wanna do now is create a task using Tasker to backup my entire device to my pc through wifi on the night (only changed files everytime). I know how to create the profile, but does anybody know how to create the task?

I have a broken android phone, basically cracked screen. Any possible where to retrieve all sms from it? Obviously its stored on internal memory. It was using froyo rom.
Are you rooted? If you are download Titanium Backup and backup the Dialer Storage app. That apps holds your SMS' and APN info. Most likely will show up green and say SMS at the beginning of the name of the app.

If you have cwm recovery, use button combo to put it in recovery.
Use adb and connect to it and you can copy everything to your computer.
I don't know what adb is and how to use it, but I would truly appreciate steps, I'm a quick learner. The screen is destroyed, no display at all.

Try and not use root explorer... It is 100% safer to use adb and the command line to do things like this.... If you want the commands to run to do the job then PM me, and I will give you a rundown.
Too many people with this phone and other phones have had a TON of trouble with root explorer and other file manger apps making more than just permissions changes to files, things like corrupting the files, and even changing their file type bit.

LOL, it's not that bad, just make sure you have a windows recovery disk with you incase you screw up the MBR. I have done that, then nothing boots at all. Scary as hell. it's super easy to fix, but you need a windows restore disk. Ignore this and don't be scared unless something bad happens, then run to google and be calm. There is very little you can do that is not easy to fix. Just don't format your whole hard drive or something if you want it working with windows.

yep in the setup you can choose manually partition hard drive and resize windows down and create a new partition for ubuntu. It will need to be pretty big if you are gonna get into development. mine is 30GB and I am running out.

You could just use airdroid and transfer it wirelessly. I had a problem on my old phone where cwm backups will generate corrupted md5 sums if I used a USB cable. Airdroid fixed that issue for me.

Can't access that location with airdroid as far as I know. It's a root location that is hidden.

What difference does that make? He has the backup on his computer, he just wants to know how to push it back to his device. Does CWM not let you browse for the backup files when you restore? If so, then that's all the more reason to switch to TWRP.
So use airdroid to move it to SD card. Then use root explorer or some other file explorer with root permissions to move it where you need to be. BTW ..my twrp backups are stored on my SD card.

Had some issue time ago, find two way, both with CWM
Renamed the .zip in .jpg (i know it's not safe but it works)
Then plug phone and moved file from PC to sdcard/DCIM then with root explorer or other file manager rename in .zip, moved to /sdcard, reboot to recovery and choose install zip from /sdcard from CWM recovery
Other was similar but used airdroid to send file to /sdcard
Never got an issue with both of this method

Yeah, its because it's not a sticky. I asked for it to be sticky but at the same time, I asked to have a "sticky roll-up thread" to replace all the stickies and have "sticky worthy" threads linked within it... and with that, the original request got lost

Can u tell me where the twrp backups directory is? Coz obviously i cant get into my phone
I don't use twrp myself so im not sure where it is. If you use the ls command..... (thats LS in lowercase)
Eg....
ls /data/media/0
That will list all the directories on sdcard. I assume there will be a folder called twrp there. Within there not sure. But you can use ls to keep drilling down.
ls /data/media/0/twrp
I think there's a backup folder with dated folsers within it.
Take a twrp backup now and see....
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yes, the path's correct... TWRP makes a backup in /data/media/0/TWRP/3282387328 (random string)...
So, you will need to push the backup folder to /data/media/0/TWRP/... Now it will show up in the restore option.

Like you, I've stuck with Philz for a long long time now.. Can't say for sure about twrp. I guess there's no harm in trying to make a folder and check.
However, sometimes while doing that, I faced a md5 mismatch error in twrp. But that's on a HTC One X.. No idea whether twrp has changed this since then.

i dont know why people dont do this, maybe they are worried of the little bit of space it takes in their storage, but i ALWAYS, since feb of 2009, keep a copy of my current rom and kernel in my storage. if i ever mess up doing anything, i always have my rom/kernel to flash again. no relying on computers(as im rarely around them). also, i always have one nandroid backup in my storage, just in case. it might not always be the most recent, but its there just in case.
@ProVickers
I'm not 100% sure of this but adb in TWRP doesn't work everywhere... You need to go to Advanced-Sideload.. then swipe right and then fire the adb push command..

Hello,
yes this has probably been a problem to many people, but I couldn't find a solution for my case.
I flashed a ROM and forgot to backup my files before, so now my whole photos and files I need are gone.
I am looking for a solution to restore deleted photos on my nexus 5. I obviously can't use generic recovery methods because, well, I don't have a sd card to pull out and plug into my computer.
is there a app / method to recover deleted files directly on the nexus (over adb?)?
Paid solutions are welcome too!
Check this thread, has a topic on OTG, which happens to allow mounting as usb storage. Might do the trick.
Hmm the OTG part is about mounting devices on the nexus. I want it the other way around, mount it on my mac and run recovery software on it.
Any ideas on that?
Can't be done.
Only options are whats in my signature. Section 5.4

Yes, I am currently trying a option cross linked in that guide.
I'm taking a raw image of my data partition to my mac and will try to restore data there.
Steps taken from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705. Although for windows, but finding the needed tools for mac is not that big of a task.
Will report if I have any success on this

You've mentioned, " I don't have a sd card to pull out and plug into my computer", actually, you could apply to some app that could identify your device directly.
Here is an Android Data Recovery Mac that may help. You can also google other apps if you need.
