The file that has been deleted is data/data/com.kakao.talk/databases/KakaoTalk.db
The told kakaotalk.db file has been deleted and was replaced by a new kakaotalk.db
I tried use data recovery programs but those only appear to recover data that is located in either internal storage (storage/sdcard0) or sd card (storage/sdcard1)
Is there any method to recover this file? I know root explorer can access and titanium backup can back up app data located in this directory, but wondering if there are any specialized deleted file recovery program that can scan this area to recover deleted application data

There are many recovery/undeleter apps available in Play store.
Here is a thread about it: General discussion > General > Storage Card - Deleted file recovery.
Some apps are free, some not. You have to read the app description and ratings, then check yourself.
Good luck !
Tried every recovery app available on google store. Only DiskDigger undelete appears to be able to scan the root area (other apps only scans internal storage and sd card). However that app only appears to have option to scan for and restore certain file extension (only pictures images and document files), and not .db files...
Is there any way to mount the root directory as a drive that could be recognized by the PC, so I can scan it using recuva or something? When I connect the device, only SD card mounts as a removable drive. Device I use is Pantech Vega LTE-A IM-A880S

Yes, recuva is good ... used it myself to restore files on an external sd card.
As I am notr sure about our device and there is no specific forum for it on xda, please post your question in the General discussion > Questions and Answers forum.
Hopefully someone there can give a better advice.
Thread closed and thank you.

Hi
Android 3.2 tablet /sdcard folder under the sdcard folder, I deleted /sdcard/sdcard folder, deleted all my files. How can I recover my files
seems as MTP device to the computer does not see any undelete program tablets

Use Google. Have a search for Android Forensic Recovery. You will find programs you can pay for which may be able to recover some of your data (assuming you have ADB Debugging enabled) or you can send your phone to one of the companies which are listed and pay them to try and do the same thing for you.
Don't ask me for recommendations - I've recover data off 'wiped' hard-drives (and even memory cards) many times, but doing it from a phone's internal memory is a different prospect.
I wanted to start this thread because I am having trouble, (and I assume other noobs are as well), understanding what's on my SD Card and how to navigate through it.
I've attached what I see when I open my device and check the internal storage.
My main reasoning for trying to understand all that's on my SD Card is because it's important! And because I'm trying to figure out where all my apps are stored. I recently installed the venom custom ROM, and since then have lost the knowledge of where my .apk files are stored. That's really what I'm after trying to find those files. I've searched every folder but still no dice. I used Titanium Pro to backup all my files but there is nothing located in the Titanium folder.
Can anybody help me identify where my .apk files are located?
I also have a few .apk files I wish to install on my phone. From what I've gathered the way to do this is to add them to where the other .apk files are located and then Fix Permissions. If I cannot locate my .apk files is there another file path I could save it to?
Lastly I have these two files I have not recognized before, BUGSENSE and .profig
What are these files?
So if you're downloading the apks off a website they'll be in the downloads folder if you downloaded then through Google play..they won't be on your sd unless you manually backed up them up through titanium

Right okay, so if I choose to back them up onto the SD card then my .apk file paths should appear? Because as you can see now I have no app folders on my phone (sd card) currently.
I've backed up my phone via titanium still nothing in there is an .apk file.
I'm also interested in keeping my phone clean of useless things (another reason for this thread).
As file explorer. Settings allow up to root allow root. Go up from sd card. System/data folder

Boom. That's what I was searching for. Thanks.

If you go to titanium backup location on sd card and open it you will find what you looking for. Its pretty easy to restore backup in titanium app itself.....also a true backup should be done in twrp recovery as it backs up everything (file partitions,kernel,radio,apps) it will save a copy (known as a nandriod backup) on your sd card that you can recover if your rom won't boot or you just need to restore .

Make sure you enable writing to the root folder as well. System apps are in system/app.
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.
on a computer, deleted files can be still be recovered via tools like recuva or disk digger. Not unless you use a program to overwrite fee space a number of times. Is it the same with android devices?
i have another scenario though, i have a tablet that i plugged a micro sd card to to view files. I dont save those files to the tablet, just view them. Then just eject the card when done. If someone were to somehow gain possession of my tablet, can they find out what the file is and somehow get a copy of that file via the temporary folder or something?
I would appreciate it if experts can answer and give advice on my rather uncommon questions.
Thanks

Files deleted in android are not actually deleted, the space the file is in is marked as free space but the data remains there ignored by the system until that space is overwritten or is formatted.
When viewing files from sdcard, some data that was viewed is cached and can be found/recovered later possibly if cache is not cleared but the data recovered might not be enough to tell them anything.

is there an android app that allows you back up your app and then install your apps from one device to another without losing your settings and configurations? for example back up a game, install it in a new device and then open and run from the exact same place without having to log in again.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried Helium or Titanium Backup? They are used frequently to backup apps and data.
There is also a ADB backup method that allows you to backup the apk file and its app data with the correct command/commands/switches and can be restored to another device.
Alternatively, you can use a file manager app that has a feature that allows you to see all of the user apps that you have installed and backup the apps of your choice. Once you have the apk file backed up(you could also just download the apk file from the internet), you should be able to find up the backed up copy of the apk in your backup/apps folder in your internal storage on your device, then you can connect your device to your PC then open your device's internal storage on PC and open the folder where the backed up copy of your apk is located and copy it over to your PC, then find your Android folder in your device's internal storage, inside your android folder, you should see a folder containing the app data for the app that you want to backup. Right click that specific app's data folder and make a copy of it then store it on your PC.
Then, on the other device, transfer the apk file to that device's internal storage then install the apk from internal storage, then connect that device to PC and copy/paste the app data folder to the Android folder on that device's internal storage. Then, reboot the device.
So, to simplify, backup the apk, copy the backed up apk to PC, find the app data folder for that app in the device's Android folder, copy that folder to PC. Then, copy the apk file onto the new device's internal storage, then install the app from there. Then, transfer the app data folder to the new device's Android folder, reboot.
