Hi,
If you are able to boot on your android device, ES explorer does the trick > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
Otherwise it seems that a tool exists via adb > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821601
Hope it helps.

[Q] Need suggestions on how to recover deleted files from the internal memory.

I have accidentally wiped my internal memory of my transformer and I am wondering if there is an application I can use to recover the deleted files from it?
I have tried hexamob recovery PRO and it doesn't detect the internal storage.
When I try to connect it to the computer over USB it shows up as a "Portable Device" in windows 7 and I am unable to use file recovery software on the computer because of this.
Is it possible to mount the internal memory over USB Mass Storage so I can try recovering the files with a windows program?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

[Q] How to mount internal sd card in usb storage mode (for data recovery)

I made a mistake yesterday to wipe the internal sd-card in twrp recovery. There is some data on it which I want to recover (read: undelete). Data recovery itself won't be a problem, but I have troubles accessing the internal sd card from PC.
There is currently no rom installed on my tf (I don't want the internal sd being touched by anything until I recovered data).
I thought it was possible to set the tf101 in USB mass storage mode in the recovery, mounting the internal SD card, but that refuses to work.
What I've tried so far is enabling USB Mass storage mode in a variety of recoveries
- initially in TWRP recovery (v2.2.X.X not sure which version was installed, probably 2.2.2.0)
- cwm-6.0.1.4-notouch-hybrid.zip
- Rogue XM Touch Recovery v1.5.0-R1
- TWRP 2.2.2.1 (flashed by replacing the recoveryblob in a flashable zip from 2.2.0.0 version)
But it seems not possible, i.e. no drive is detected by Windows or Linux machine.
What is the correct way to access the internal sd card over USB?
./adb connection will set you free. as long as you can get an adb connection this is not a problem. once youre connected just rtfm ./adb will pull up all the options.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm able to connect through adb. I can access the internal sd card through adb shell. However, I need to have access to it outside adb, so I can use a data recovery tool to access the internal sd.
I still cannot find a solution, not for ICS. (this solution doesn't work for ICS).
Is it possible to enable UMS from ADB or recovery at all?

The content of the internal sd card (`ls`), which is a single empty recovery dir atm. I need to recover the content (i.e. undelete).
Eventually I'm now dd-ing data from internal sd to a usb drive attached to dock USB. This way I can perform an ordinary data-recovery on the USB drive
What I did was:
- install a ROM with terminal emulator in it
- open terminal emulator (followed by the su command)
- dd with default blocksize (512) from interal to usb drive (after checking mounting points with mount command):
Code:
dd if=dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/dev/block/vold/8\:1
There is probably a more efficient way doing this (using ADB), but I'm finally able to recover the data, happy now
S3 internal SD card
I have an Samsun S3 with JB update. Now the internal SD card is no longer visible as USB drive from the PC. It cannot be done based on other threads.
Can I use the following method to get around the UMS issue? Can I use a Terminal Emulator app? can I dump to external SD card and then run recovery SW on it?
My phone is rooted and after su on TE, I can see /mnt with both sdcard and extsdcard mount points..

If you can see the mounting points, why not just try it?
In my case, it turned out that a lot of my data was already overwritten. I could recover some pictures and docs.
Hi. Beginner here, Please, how long this command will take to dumb about 29 GiB to a regular Micro SD card? I am waiting for minutes.
dd if=dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/dev/block/vold/8
Thanks.

Hi!
I have a Samsung S4 GT-I9505 (LTE) rooted with Cyanogenmod cm-11-20140217-NIGHTLY. Recently I've delete accidentally my images from the internal memory. Now I'm trying to restore them. I have found the photorec program from testdisk but firstly I've to mount the internal memory to my computer. And that is a problem for me. Does anyone knows how to mount the internal storage of my device as mass storage in my computer in order to try the data recovery? Thanks.

Encryption: Encrypting SD Card in Android 4.4.2 using ADB?

Hello all,
I have a China-made ORDRO SW16 Android device. It runs Android 4.4.2 and has a Mediatek MT6572 CPU and supports Internal Storage Encryption, which I have enabled.
Since the device is small (1.5" screen), it runs a cut down Settings App, and it's missing a lot of pages even though the phone should support it. I want (need) to also encrypt my SD Card. I was wondering if there is an ADB command to encrypt the external SD Card.
I've tried searching on Google (it only has the command for the Internal Storage, which I already have encrypted) and the forums, nothing...
Alternatively, I could root the device and install the AOSP Settings app. Would that be advisable?
I thank you for the help in advance.

Install WINRAR.
Open it and access SDCARD0 or Internal Storage.
And delete some files to free up space.
Then try to access using any other applications.
