So I had tried to backup my files on my phone via airdroid file transfer to PC. The ZIP was corrupted so I deleted it off my computer. And was planning to back up later...I then reformatted my computer (Win 7). Now this weekend I dropped my phone in the river and need to see if I can recover that airdroid backup and fix the archive to get some of beloved pictures and videos back. Can someone please help! I am desperate!

Hi,
I had a Magician, now I don't anymore
Fortunately, I have all my contacts backed up on my SD-card. But the question is, how can I extract them to a usable format with just my PC? I would like to insert them into outlook to later be able to transfer them to my other phone. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, but I've already tried that application on my PC, and it just created an empty subfolder called RestoredFiles, gives me an error message and dies.
I tried it on my PC at work too, same thing. :/
I am transferring my files from one computer to another, i would like my windows phone to also transfer its sync relationship with the new computer... but would i still be able to use the backup from my old computer??
If i place the back up file in the new computer's directory, would it be recognized??
Thanks
When you say backup do you mean a backup of the application/games data or a backup of your phone (made with the phone backup tool)?
Both of those should still work if you a copy them across to a new PC.
by backup i meant when you are updating ur phone OS, the backup that it produces. I havent used the backup tool yet
I am afraid that if i sync with another computer it wont recognize that backup.... as it could be computer specific...
Has anyone actually tried this?
My first time here, sorry if I did somerhing wrong.
I backup my Note 2 from Team Win recovery to phone memory. I tried to copy backup files to my computer but i got message 'A device attached to system is not functioning.'
How can i fix this, or can I backup files to my computer directly?
It means that you either have incorrect drivers or need to reconnect using another cable or USB port. You can put the files in the DCIM folder because some devices need to be disguised as PTP (Camera) to be detected by the computer.
when I delete some files in my Nexus 5 via computer
i unplug the phone from the computer
I find all the data in phone disappears and get a lot of free storage:crying:
what should i do now?
thank you so much
I guess you have deleted too much files... There's nothing you can do if you don't have backups.
Unfortunately, tools like Recuva don't help a lot.
thank you for reply
I don't delete all the data but all the data lose
could some one tells me which step cause this problem?
thx
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?
