I have a Moto G falcon and unlocked bootloader. I then installed twrp and then CM 11. I had taken pics of my childs 16th bday on the stock rom and screwed up big time.
I would like to dump the 5.5 gig partition to sd card to try and run recovery software on it to recover photos.
so far I have been given the following advice, I dont know how to implement it however.
If you don't use the phone's internal SD storage - there is still a chance you can recover the photos.
You can dump the /sdcard/ partition as a .img and use data recovery software on it.
I would make a backup of this partition asap, before attempting anything else.
To make this backup you will need a usb OTG cable and some external storage (sdcard or pen.) The .img will be around 5.5GB.
You will need root and the command is: dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata of=/<external_storage>/userdata.img
Do not accidentally dump the .img onto /sdcard/ (internal storage)
After making a backup - you can explore your options.
There are undelete apps for android such as DiskDigger undelete.

To follow the above instructions, follow my steps:
1. Root your phone!
2. Download and install the attached terminal app.
3. Plug in your empty sdcard.
4. Open the terminal app and execute the following command:
Code:
su
5. Now, execute the command found in the quote above.
• This should create a file called userdata.img on your sdcard.
6. Eject your sdcard from your phone, plug it into your PC, and extract the userdata.img file with an archive manager (7zip, WinRAR).
7. Retrieve your photos!
Hope this helps!

You need to first be sure your USB stick is mounted on your device.
Then, you use a file explorer app to find out where the stick actually is. I don't know for sure, but try looking for a /mnt in the root of your device.
After you find where it's mounted, it's all easy from there. Just go into the stick's filesystem, and create a folder like "images".
Lastly, the directory name you put into the dd command will look something like this:
Code:
/mnt/usb/images
Please note that it may not be exactly like that.

I have a broken (completely black) screen on my captivate Im trying to back up all my files from the INTERNAL memory. I can't see the screen so obviously I can't mount the phone to view the files on my PC. I have gotten 'pull /system/ /local/' to work however when I try something like 'pull /data/ /local/' it says "pull: building file list... 0 files pulled. 0 files skipped."
Basically, how do I use ADB to get all of my files to my computer? Help is certainly appreciated. After this I will probably reset the phone and then maybe sell it as is. Not too sure.
Question: Do u happen to have any recent clockwork backup and/or tibu backups on ur phone? If either is present u could directly navigate to those folders (in adb) and pull the files u want.
Alternate option: U cud put in an external sd card, and copy the files from internal sd to external sd if u are not comfortable with the pull commands.

I do not have any type of backups apps or anything like that on the phone.
I have an external sd card however Im not sure how thats different than using adb to copy the files from the internal memory to my computer. I am fine with using pull but maybe im using the wrong directory name for my personal files?
Have you tried qtadb or droidexplorer. Would be easier imo.

That requires a rooted phone right? My phone is currently not rooted and I don't know if I would want to. How come I cant just use the adb pull command on the folder with my data in it?
edit - i might have found a command that works, i will update when finished.
ok this worked for me: 'adb pull / d:\backup\'
thanks everyone for your help.
Yeah. Assumed you were rooted sorry. Just thought that way you could see everything and point and click.
So I have a similar situation to this only I have a phone that isnt rooted and usb debugging isnt enabled. However I know the phone boots on, and I can also get into recovery mode where I am able to ADB to get a basic shell, and see the device but that is about it. I feel that if I could enable usb debugging thru recovery mode I might be able to mount the /sdcard and then pull files from there. anyone got any ideas if I could get a reboot with usb debugging enabled from recovery or maybe just a command that I could use in shell via recovery?? Please Please lol. I have a strong feeling i might have hit a wall.

If you have cwm 5.8.0.2 or 6.0.1 u can go to mount and storage, scroll down and click on mount usb storage. Plug it in to a pc and your sd card will pop up. then drag and drop a rom!

Hello everyone! I just downloaded and moved an install zip of a ROM to my sd card using root explorer. Problem is I had wiped everything beforehand in recovery without confirming that the zip was on my sd card! I was sure it was on there as I had done this many times before, but I couldn't find it using TWRP.
How can I fix this? I have an sd reader but it doesn't support sdhc
Try looking in data/media folder. Had that happen to me and that's where it was

So frustrating! I know that the damn zip is on there somewhere, but I can't see it! I checked data/media and found TWRP, but no zip. You found the zip on the external card in data/media and not the internal storage correct? Any other suggestions that I can try other than getting a compatible sd card reader/adapter?

Where did you put the file?
I found it on the internal storage as thats where I had my file.
did you use the file manager function in advanced to look for it?
and in the future make a folder called 3 and put all flash-able zips in it
i use the 3 becuz recovery has numbers at the top of the list
I always download and move the zip to the root of my sd with root explorer before I flash. Never had any problems until using TWRP. Not saying it's not my fault for not making a backup first, but something screwy is going on with it. I'll be going back to CWM.
If you can't find it... Download the file on your computer... Connect to your phone computer as disk drive... Transfer the file into a recognized folder and then flash it...

yes I used the file manager, but didn't find anything. I think what happened was that the zip was on internal storage and was erased when I wiped. Not sure how it was in internal storage because I'm almost positive I moved it to the root of sd before booting into recovery. I could be wrong though.

Can you guys let me know if there is another way?
If your device is rooted and you have a microSD or SD card that is at least as big as the device's internal storage, you can make a full image of the data partition and try running your data recovery software on that image. The partition to copy is /dev/block/mmcblk0p8.
I do have root access and the sd card to conduct such procedure! now I need to figure out how to get to that particular file partition and copy it into my sd card.
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8.

Run this in adb shell:
Code:
su (if you are not already root)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/Removable/MicroSD/data.ext4 bs=32k
For the full size SD card in the dock, adjust the output path appropriately. It will take a while, as it needs to copy almost 32 or 64 GB.
If the image is only 4 GB, that's because of a limitation in your dd commmand and you need to find a version with large file support. Of course you should not install any apps as this reduces your chance for data recovery.
Thank you for your time.! I will let you know what happens. if it works, it can help those who are in the same shoes. as of today, I havent really found an answer. Although I am not an expert on using adb shell. I see I need the SDK android install in my laptop to run a cmd and then the adb shell.

Your screenshot does not show what you typed. When you run "adb shell", you should get a prompt from your TF700 where you can run the su and dd commands (type Ctrl+D or "exit" and Enter to exit).

I assume you have the microSD card in a microSD to SD adapter, so you have to treat it as a full size SD card - change MicroSD to SD in the dd command line.

No - as I wrote this is a limitation of the dd implementation. I think Busybox comes with a better dd, but you'd need to push it via adb to a temporary filesystem to avoid overwriting anything in /data. Try playing with the truncated image you have now - if you can recover any files from it, it's worth trying to make a complete image.

I have no experience with any data recovery tools. Try googling "recover formatted ext4" or so. Note that the software must be able to work with an image file, not only a raw partition.

You have to run the recovery software on the image file, not on the card. If you can recover *any* files from the image, it makes sense to try the next steps with a complete image.
I just lost 220 photos because I needed to change their containing folders name from "Camera" to "Photography", after doing this I opened the folder and the folder was empty! I tried renaming it back to Camera but my photos were still gone! And my SD card went from having 7GBs used to 5GBs used! Is there any way for me to recovery my photos?
If you don't use the phone's internal SD storage - there is still a chance you can recover the photos.
You can dump the /sdcard/ partition as a .img and use Windows data recovery software on it.
I would make a backup of this partition asap, before attempting anything else.
To make this backup you will need a usb OTG cable and some external storage (sdcard or pen.) The .img will be around 5.5GB.
You will need root and the command is: dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata of=//userdata.img
Do not accidentally dump the .img onto /sdcard/ (internal storage)
After making a backup - you can explore your options.

What model is your phone? Is your Bootloader unlocked?

Motorola Moto G first gen XT1032 rooted, bootloader unlocked with TWRP custom recovery. I have Cyanogenmod 13 unoffical running android 6. My laptop does not have any drivers so if that is a requirement please tell me so I can install.
Download: Moto G USB Drivers (WinXP/7/8/10 32Bit-64Bit)
Download: ADB and Fastboot files
Test adb by enabling Settings > Developer options > USB debugging: (option may be named differently in CM13)
adb devices

Ok scratch that, I just plugged in my phone into my laptop and went into the Camera folder and all my photos are there but they are all 0 bytes! Is there another way to recover them?
It's best to backup the entire internal storage before trying anything. Also limit use of phone / apps on phone. Do not install or update anything.
If you don't already own one, buy a USB OTG cable - example.
ADB commands on PC:
adb shell
su
<grant root permission request on phone>
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata of=/storage/usbdisk/userdata.img
Note: The dd command above will dump the .img to external usb pen / card. You can then use PC data recovery software on the .img file.
EDIT: http://www.nburles.co.uk/android/recovering-data-from-an-android-device-using-dd - This page details how to dump directly to PC if you have busybox installed on your phone.
