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.
So I got myself a new phone note 4. I used that new Samsung transfer apk first time ever. After it completed I factory reseted my old phone note 3. Unfortunetly Samsung apk was crap and I lost data for one of my applications. Any idea how can I recover database.db file from internal storage? None of the applications I found could recover .db files just images and documents. Please help and advice
So, my brother backed up my Samsung Galaxy S4 on his laptop about 3 years ago. Can't remember the program used. He gave me the backup file yesterday.
(I screenshotted the file name and attached it here titled " FILE BACKUP TITLE.PNG")
I edited the file, to a .exe. (eg “Samsung SM-G350E_20191001_103009.bak” delete the bak and write exe after the dot and press enter.) That way I can access everything through winrar. However all of the files are encrypted! We have no idea what the password is, what shall I do! (Attached the password screen in winrar titled " RAR.PNG")
It has 1000's of photos from 2014-2017, I have no idea on what to do. I've checked out brute forcing, but I wasn't sure how to do it.
Thanks.

What method was used to create the backup? It may require using the same tool that created it to decrypt it, but, without the password, you're pretty much screwed.
Whatever he used, it isn't the best way of backing up android devices. Methods typically used to backup/manage PC's are not suggested for android. ADB and custom recovery are the recommended methods of backing up android, you take your chances with any other method, as you have discovered.
For future reference, backing up your internal storage such as photos, videos and personal files doesn't require any special tools or methods, all you have to do is connect to PC, open your phones internal storage on PC and then copy all the folders there and save them on your PC in whatever folder you choose, no encryption is necessary. Then, all you have to do to retrieve data from that backup is open the folder containing the backup and everything will be there for you to copy/paste/move/open/delete the same as you can with any other file on PC.
Transferring data from that backup folder to a new device is as simple as connecting the new device to PC, opening the backup folder then copying everything in the folder then opening the internal storage of the new device on PC and then pasting the contents of the backup into the internal storage of the new device. It is virtually no different than copying files from one USB drive to another USB drive, you are just going it with phones instead of USB drives.

Thanks for your response, I thought nobody was going to reply.
We can't remember. All I remember is that my custom rom s4 (android 4) was hooked up to our mac laptop. Then we backed it up using some kind of backup program. Then it was updated to android 8.
Yeah I understand now, but at the time we were fairly new to the whole android scene. I have an s7 edge now, I just back everything up on google photos and the regular cloud service. What should I do? I really want those files back.
Thanks.

I have a Samsung S3 mini and have forgotten my Google account details and the samsung back up pin. Is there any way to get in to my phone because it has personal photos and videos on it. I don't want to do a hard reset because it will get rid of all the data.
Install twrp and transfer important files to sd card via flie manager(Advanced > file manager)
I have a new phone (Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite). I wanted to transfer my Whatsapp account to it. But I stupidly went ahead without making a Google Drive backup of my messages on my old phone (Motorola G5S).
Instead, I installed Whatsapp on the new phone, which, since it has my old sim card in it, recognised me and re-created all the Whatsapp groups.
BUT all chats were empty.
I have copied the msgstore.db.crypt14 file from my old phone's Whatsapp/Databases folder. I've transferred it to my new phone. But no luck.
Is there any way to recover my old Whatsapp data (at least the chats)?
There is recover software for deleted files on your phone.. unless you wrote more data over in your old phone it is likely that you can recover it.
Google for a trusted recover software for android.
It might be possible if you install whatapps on your old phone again and it might recover the chats on it's on..
But I would try first going over a recover software.
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I do not need to recover files. I have been able to copy the msgstore.db.crypt14 file from my old phone's Whatsapp/Databases folder. But transferring it to my new phone does not seem to work.

I read that but that encryption file is most likely tied to hardware identifiers of your old phone and I doubt you might be able to decrypt in your new phone.
So my recommendation still stands try to power up your old phone, recover the whatsapp files, copy these files to a folder on your pc, then install whatapps again on your old phone.. see if it recovers automatically if not, replace the recover files..
Then there should be a backup option natively in whatsapp and then do a migration..
That seems to me your best shot.
Thank you, I will try this and report back if it works.
It worked, thanks!

Did it simple worked by reinstall whatsapp on the old phone?
