[Q] Recover data from P3100

I was running CM10 nightly on my SGT2 P3100. 2 days back i flashed the new Official JB update without taking backup ( should have taken, learnt my lesson). After rebooting all the personal files were gone including photos and all. Is there anyway to recover those files? I am not able to plug in my tab as a mass storage device - only media storage and camera mode available in USB.
Someone please tell me how to proceed now? How to use tablet as mass storage device so i can run recovery software??

Anybody???

If your data was wiped during install, you have no recourse. This app should turn device into usb mass storage. I haven't used this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.zatta.USB_switch&hl=en as my rom supports usb, mtp, and ptp.

[Q] [Not Working] USB Mass Storage and ADB

Hello friends, I am facing a problem with USB Mass storage. Please find the case as below.
Previously when I used to connect my phone with my laptop, it used to show a pop-up notification on either I wish to enable USB mass storage mode or just wish to have my phone on charging only. USB debugging was also working like a charm during those days.
Now, from last two days (suddenly) none of the computers (i have tried on almost 10 different laptops) is recognizing my phone. Though this is the problem, it gets charged over USB without any problems.
Could someone of you please help with your expert knowledge??? I have tried downloading certain applications from Play Store also but no luck at all.
In furtherance to this, please note that I clicked on "format/emmc" while installing one of the custom ROMs through CWM recovery before two days and i suspect that this could have caused a problem.
Please help.

Buddy,
Formatting EMMC is just like formatting SD card and EMMC is Internal SD card.
Do one thing backup all your data and then reboot in recovery and there you will find the options:-
Mount & Storage --> Mount USB Storage.
First connect your phone to USB and to the laptop then do the above said if its connected then its working and you only have to clear the defaults of the USB application.
If its not working then try other rom with proper guidance of flashing given by the OP.

[Q] Accidently broke Mass storage mode? (ZTE V970)

I was trying to transfer some files from my phone, but Mass storage mode was giving me grief so I decided to try and activate MTP mode, and now I am somehow stuck on it. if I try to uncheck the MTP mode it automatically checks itself back on. I can check PTP mode instead of MTP but then I am faced with the same issue.
to make matters worse, the files I actually wanted transferred aren't supported in PTP is seems, the folder that was contained them looks empty from the PC (still see them from the file explorer on the phone).
how do I bring back the Mass storage option without resorting to doing a full on factory reset and losing the data?
Sorry for posting in the general section, couldn't find the section specific to my model.
Using ZTE V970 running 4.1.2 Android
MIUI version 3.2.22

What's wrong with MTP? I personally prefer it over USB Mass storage. Probably a glitch of MIUI. You could try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, but other than that, not really sure. Since you are rooted, you could try this:

to see if you can force it to work.

[Q] My phone suddenly says "Damaged USB storage"

So, here's the problem - I was just using my phone normally, when it froze - no big deal, recently it has been getting slower and I was just planning on factory resetting it after I back up everything. But, when it booted and went on the start screen, it says "Scanning USB storage for problems" or something like that and it says then "Damaged USB Storage -You may have to reformat it" and unmounts my SD card, so, I have no storage altogether. When I click on the notification it asks if I want to format USB storage. I just want to know if there's a way of retrieving some files, because in my phone FIle Manager there's nothing, and when I connect it to the PC (Windows XP), it doesn't dettect any stotage, if I do it through "USB Utilities" on my phone it shows two Removable Disks on my computer, which are empty, when I click on them it just says "insert disk into drive", and if I click "Turn on USB Storage" on my phone it just keeps on trying to connect, but can't.
I tried restarting it, taking the battery out, booting without an SD card, booting into safe mode, using adb to pull some files, searched the internet for a few hours but to no avail, found this "Tenoshare Android Data Recovery" but it needs root, which I'm not, so I tried rooting it with SuperOneClick - doesn't work, tried installing super user from the recovery menu from SD card, but it can't install it - I'm wondering if it's wortht it. So, now I don't know what to do - do I root my phone using the methods here (with odin and etc) and use that utility, do I just factory reset it (maybe try recovering files after I've reset it?), or is there any other available option to somehow recover the files? I'm on Android 4.0.4 unrooted with Baseband version I9103XXLQ3 - I had installed it a few years ago (my phone came with 2.3.6 and I just followed the instructions here on updating my firmware).
I'll be very grateful with any help, I just had a few more important files and the last time I backed up was in December, so any help is appreciated

[Q] How to recover deleted internal storage data without USB cord (unrooted)?

Can anybody please help me?
I know Im an idiot for not backuping important data (regularly), but **** happened (still not quite sure how) and I got all the data from my internal storage erased. Now, I know that it can be easily restored (to some extent) via connecting the phone as a mass storage through USB, but the problem is that my USB port is broken. And I know that there are some apps for data recovery on Play Store, but they all require a rooted device and my is not. And again to root it I need a working USB port (my phone Huawei U9200 cant be rooted via apps such as Framaroot or Towelroot). And the problem with fixing and changing the USB port is that it is connected to the same board everything is connected to, SIM card, camera, audio jack, probably everything is on the single piece of board, so changing that would be quite expensive (and Im not sure if I can do it myself, and currently Im living in Finland where everything is 5x overpriced).
So my question is what now? Are there any other ways yo recover the deleted data from internal storage? Like via FTP or Bluetooth maybe? Or is it possible maybe to directly access phone flash memory (eg. to disconnect it from the board and mount on a pc somehow)?
Please somebody help me...
