Only synced Contacts , Chrome and app data

Really nothing can do?

Looks like ya may have to format the card in windows and hope it restores. Im gonna add that your photos and more than likely gone. I have all my photos auto back up to google and Dropbox daily. If ya manage to fix it, I'd definitely look into a service to back your stuff up.

OP, not sure if you'll be able to access your data after this, but can't hurt to try: check general section for a how-to fix a corrupted /data partition.

still not working
Method1:
~ # e2fsck /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
e2fsck /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
e2fsck 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata is in use.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.

[GUIDE] to fix persist partition
Result :

This looks bad, worst case you need to flash a factory image in order to at least restore the IMEI.
If you´re brave enough, try to boot from eg. Gparted Live ( look it up on the web ) and try to restore the file system with this partition tool. Maybe your device can be identified again as a Nexus 5. But be warned, I would try this method as the last resort only since there is a risk involved of losing your partition table.
Only try this if fastboot and all other methods fail.

when trying to fix /data, was it mounted? if it was, you might need to unmount it first.
also, that last error when flashing factory images... not a good omen

flash a cwm recovey
connect phone to your pc
open cmd
type adb shell
type parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
type print
post the screenshot of the output

On the first picture you are not the root.
The prompt on the second picture looks like you have twrp and not cwm. twrp does not have parted included.
Also in your previous posts I saw you were using the wrong commands to flash lollipop 5.1.1.
You used fastboot flash update -w hammerhead.......zip which is wrong. That command wipes /data and /cache then tries to flash hammerhead.......zip to the "update" partition and it fails there. There is no update partition.
The correct command is fastboot -w update hammerhead....zip, but it would be better if your run the flash-all.bat as it will flash the bootloader and the modem too.

Need Help Dump Partition And Recovering Application Database on Moto G XT1033

Hello, I'm sorry if my english was bad since its not my native language .
Recently I accidentally clear data of naver line applications and now I'm trying to recover the apps database since all my naver line contacts were gone, I already try using the method provided on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705 it gives me 0 bytes of raw data, all step by step including using cygwin 32bit still 0 bytes, so is there any other way to image the userdata partition? Or is there a way to recover applications database properly? My Moto G were XT1033 version with android 5.1 lollipop.
Every help were appreciated, Thank you .

adb reboot recovery
adb pull /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata userdata.img​
This is done in TWRP. It's important to pull the .img directly to PC rather than dumping on internal storage.

I think I recall the demo version of GetDataBack did not work as well as the full version. Even after bootloader unlock (data wipe) - you should still be able to recover files.

Hi! It seems i found the problem, the problem is because userdata partition detected as a Unallocated Space thats why all apps like Autopsy, FTK imager, GetDataBack, cant determine the file system for userdata partition, do you know the way around this?

[Bricked Nexus 5] can't mount /persisit ,/data; Currupt Partition; Flashing Failed

My rooted Nexus 5 has got bootloop issue because of faulty power button. It keeps restarting on its own. After replacing the power button with new One from LG Service center, now it stuck
at marshmellow boot screen, that boot keep running entire day untill battery died. LG Service center guys told me to replace the mother board. Since i was not convinced, i decided to make sure
if it is really required. My Nexus 5 has CWM recovery ver 6.0.4 with usb debugging on. Fastboot, adb everything is working. But if i tried to flash / wipe or mount i simply get error
can't mount /persist
cant mount /data
I tried following links to fix it-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...-unbrick-nexus-5-stucked-qualcomm-hs-t3043301
https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...orial-how-to-flash-factory-images-lg-t2713833
and some other first hand advice like run "Flash-all.bat" from stock rom, use WUG Toolkit to fix soft brick and flash stock rom or try flashing another custom recovery. But no matter what i try
CWM never get replaced and again same error. i was able to flash TWRP ( only untill reboot)and able to see folders under File Manager. But can't select Data, persist if try to wipe or mount from there.
One thing though, While using LG Flash tool my device never got detected in the tool even though i could see LG USB Serial Port under device manager in PC.
Please suggest if there is anything can be done to get it into working mode ,or motherborad replacement is the only way to go ahead.
You could try repartitioning device. try doing this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...guide-repartition-nexus5-to-increase-t3509880
Actually resizing system partition also deletes userdata partition and it should work after recreating it. You have nothing to loose if it is already broken.
Try flashing the oldest stock ROM from the Google site. Make sure to flash userdata.img and perform a factoru wipe before booting the phone for the first time.

I am really sceptical if this will work. Since I have already tried flashing oldest rom of marshmallow (6.0.0).
Anyways, it won't take much time so will try to flash KitKat and let you know.
Edit -
Result was as expected
remote : failed to erase partition
remote : flash write failure
Any other Help ?? How to make sure if its really hard brick and not soft brick?
Sounds like the internal memory chip is damaged. I had one phone where I could not flash anything so I changed the motherboard and everything worked perfectly after the change.
I think I have a similar issue. Someone please help!

Mi4i Soft Brick; No OS Installed

Flashed MIUI8 about a month ago and now I got some 'systemui has stopped working' errors, the device rebooted and got stuck on the MI logo. So I used a fastboot guide on the MIUI forums and fastbooted a Global MIUI V8.0.1.0 rom using MI Flash (selected the 'flash all' option).
The tool says that it has successfully flashed the rom but instead, it just wiped the whole device and not actually flash the rom.
Now the device is stuck on fastboot mode. If I try to reboot the device through TWRP it says 'No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?'
Tried to flash miui using OTG, it detects the pendrive, but it gives errors while flashing-
Code:
Installing '/usb_otg/miui_MI4iGlobal_V8.1.5.0.LXIMIDI_bd019203d_5.0.zip'...
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found

Updating partition details...
[COLOR="Red"]E:Unable to mount '/system'
E:Unable to mount '/cache'
E:Unable to mount '/data'[/COLOR]
...done
I've tried to flash different roms (CM, diff versions of miui) but all give pretty much same error.
Also tried ADB sideload method, gives the same errors as above.
I'm out of ideas, anyone has a fix for this?
Fastboot flash, run the bat files instead of using Mi flash. Should work
I ran the .bat file directly but it still says No OS installed in TWRP and boots directly to fastboot mode.
Which file did you ran? From where did you get the firmware?
I got the firmware from the MIUI forums. There are two bat files - flash_all.bat and flash_all_except_data_storage.bat. I tried both but didn't work.
Try to flash it 1 by 1
By typing
Fastboot flash system system.IMG , fastboot flash boot boot.IMG and so on...
There are many .img files in my 'images' folder. Do I flash all img files one by one or what? Please elaborate.

Yes , all of them..
The example command is in the vla bla .bat
But , just take a few line or figure it out
Ex: "fastboot flash system system.IMG"
Also , don't forget to place adb and fastboot inside image folder...
*this is a manual fastboot
Copy paste the commands from the bat file
Typed all the commands which were in the .bat file manually in cmd one by one, no errors while flashing but it STILL reboots to fastboot mode and 'No OS installed'.

I ran rm -rf / *

Hello.
I made a typo on the phone and ended up doing rm -rf / * ...
I have unlocked the boot loader and have introduced custom recovery, but when I flush the ROM it doesn't boot at all.
I did a clean install of the stock ROM using Mi Flash or Xiaomi ADB / Fastboot Tool, but it doesn't boot. Boot loop.
Can I fix the phone?

I noticed that some folders in / system_root / are empty.

Is this causing the boot to be blocked?
I decided to try a clean install again using the Xiaomi ADB / Fastboot Tool
But I have already tried this and I don't think it will be solved ...
I did a clean install but it failed ...
I want a Super partition of POCO X3 NFC, or a backup of everything.
It's a straightforward idea, but I think you can boot if you restore a system that is working properly ...
Please help me ... I don't want to make this phone a brick ...

Flashing wrong recovery killed all of my partitions — Help!

Hi all,
I'm going to make a long story short and say that my brother's phone has a cracked screen, so I tried to use TWRP to backup everything through ADB. But googling SM-J530F TWRP brings 'j5lte' as one of the first results, I went and flashed it under the wrong assumption that j5lte was SM-J530F's code name (it was not) and that caused severe bootloops.
I flashed correct TWRP, but USERDATA would not mount. I panicked and the crystal bleeding was progressing fast, so I pulled the entire mmcblk0 to dump a raw image of the phone's NAND.
This was the right move, as the phone is completely dead now. Crystal bleeding has made the screen completely dead, but the phone still works.
All I'm left with is the raw NAND backup.
The first thing I did was inspect the image with fdisk. It can recognize the GPT partition table and structure. The USERDATA partition is at the very end.
{

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
GDISK is also recognizing it no problem. It seems like the partition table is in good condition:
GPARTED is also recognizing partitions, but it does not look good:
Looking at more information:
For the record, e2fsprogs is installed. It's always installed by default. GPARTED here is complaining about the superblock, but I can see that its looking to open the partition through /dev/loop0p24 which is no good. The kpartx tool is giving me access to all the partitions of the image through /dev/mapper/loop0p24, so that explains the errors.
Superblocks seem to be present in USERDATA:
I tried mounting the partition with a backup superblock, but...
I was at a loss at this point, so I tried mounting the SYSTEM partition just to see what happens and... it worked?
This proves what I said: This partition is fine, GPARTED was complaining simply because its trying to target them through the wrong device path.
But this raised the question: What the heck is wrong with the USERDATA partition? Why is it ext2 (Isn't that SUPER old?) and could it be that its not corrupted at all, and I'm just trying to mount it the wrong way or something? TWRP couldn't mount it though (Why?).
Being at a loss, I tried repairing the ext2 USERDATA partition using `fsck.ext2 /dev/mapper/loop0p24` and it found so many errors (including a corrupted journal) the file I redirected stdout to (console output) ended up being 78MB. Here it is if you want it (obviously can't post here).
So anybody knows what I can do? Is there any hope? I'm positive that the recovery image couldn't have corrupted the USERDATA partition (How could it? I still can't find a possible explanation). And even if it did, it couldn't overwrite the files. The file data should STILL be in that partition completely in-tact (There's NO WAY the recovery image overwrote them) though the journal is gone, so I can't use a tool like extundelete to recover them.
I tried to flash the phone with a stock rom through download mode to reconstruct everything with a healthy structure. This was so I could flash TWRP again and pull another NAND raw dump to have as a healthy reference I could use, but this doesn't work. Odin fails and I don't know why because the screen on the phone is dead.
Is there some place where I could get this maybe?
Is there something you can suggest I do?
Thanks!
