Hi there,
So I updated my z5 to Marshmallow and of course, like most. My phone crashed, had to restore factory default and I lost some screenshots and text messages that I need VERY MUCH.
I have tried many tools to recover files, none of them find anything and just say to root in order to restore deleted items.
I did find one walk through to root the z5 on here but it doesnt give me much of a description. Just gives me codes to enter but i have no idea how to even start.... I am computer savy, but dont know a whole lot about phones.
If anyone can walk me through this or has had success with another way to recover deleted items on a z5. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
Thanks

You're not gonna get those files back. Once deleted, always deleted. That's the way an SSD works.
Also, rooting would not help, it will format the entire phone once again since it requires Unlocking the bootloader.
I suggest u to read and understand what ur doing before rooting anyway before u brick the phone.

OK so, I'm not a super noob but I'm also not an expert so I may understand certain terms.
Thank you so much for reading this and this thread is awesome because like me people out there really need help.
Really appreciate the work done here.
I usually follow you guys tutorials and stuff and always manage to come out successful without making a post like this one.
But I got to tell you this phone got me beat.
SO here we go.
I purchased a chinese mobile device, specifically a Tethin TX300 and after messing around with it I changed permission to the system/app folder and now it's stuck in a boot loop. Can anyone help? Any idea would be appreciated. Thanks
Isn't it possible to access the recovery on the phone to do a device reset?..
Thank you for your fast answer. Yes it is possible to access recovery mode. I have already tried to do a factory reset/wipe data but that didn't help. Any other ideas? Is it possible to restore permissions using adb ? Thanks
Dear All,
I'm using Nexus5 w/ Marshmallow (6.0), original stock.
Yesterday I found a app that can improve the volume too weak issue and it need to unlock the phone.
I follow the steps to unlock the phone, after I run command "fastboot boot twrp.img", then the phone rebooted and perform something around 10 minutes, after the phone resumed to system, seem all the data(apps/photo/video) are deleted, seem perform a factory reset. before that, some files didn't perform backup, now how to I recover those files after factory reset??
I try many tools said can recover after factory reset or wiped, for example Dr.Fone, EaseUS MobiSaver, Recuva, DiskDigger on Android, some can found files but all not I needed and the phone already rooted.
Can anyone have some suggestion, how to recover some, not all. : (
Thanks.
Regards,
LCKDANNY

You should have understood what you were about to do: unlocking bootloader wipes your data.

Dear All,
Thanks for advices. This is a lesson learn before perform some action, need to perform backup and read the instructions in details. Thanks.
Dear beekay201,
One more question need your advices, now my phone is rooted and unlock the bootloader, do I need to fallback them? if not, does it have any security risk?
Thanks.

Hi,
Sure, everything has a security risk. The device is already rooted, someone with malicious intent might like that. The device's bootloader is already unlocked, if someone with bad intentions they would not need to unlock it (and as such, wiping everything on the device).
It falls on you to make sure you don't use bad apps, mostly. I run my device with its bootloader unlocked since day 1, never locked it back.
Hello!
Well, I changed my pattern today. It was so complicated that I ended up forgetting how it was.
So, the thing is, I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find a solution to this. I am very upset because itlooks like doing a Hard Reset is more complicated than it should. Samsung phones you just need to press some keys and that's it. You have your recovery mode all set and ready to factory reset. But Sony? Of course not. I couldn't find any simple solution. I saw stuff like, unlocking the bootloader, this and that, but guess what? I don't have the USB Debbugging ON. All the tutorials I read said that I should have. And I'm not that expert on Android stuff either.
I'm sorry for dragging this too much, but this is such a nuisance. It shouldn't be this hard to factory reset my phone.
I hope someone out there can help me. I just want to reset my phone. I don't want special roms or anything. Just my phone bacon.
I'm sorry for my English.
Thank you for your time!
Edit: Forgot to tell which version my phone is.
Sony Xperia Z5 Dual (E6683)
Marshmallow (fully updated)
You can use flashtool/xperifirm to download and flash a new firmware (remember to wipe userdata and all other partitions)
Once this is done your phone should act as if new

or u can use sony companion to repair ur device .
it will reset ur phone
I m sorry but you mentioned it like what Sony is doing wrong or either worse than what Samsung's solution is.
What if you are thief and trying to open up a phone that you have stolen.
What if you are a psycho who are trying to force control your little girl/wife's life by spying on her phone
Or maybe it is your phone that got stolen, would you want it to be accessed that easy by anyone?
It is good that, a secured phone stays secured irreversibly nowadays..
Can't you recover it by using your Google account login?

You can enter fastboot and clear cache and userdata... If You wasn't fix problem, please be free to let Us know if problem is there. Cheers
just recover it with google account simple as that, to do so just spam wrong pattern for 5-6 times and it will show you how to recover it.
The Fastboot didn't work. The phone is not rooted or have any recovery.
What I did to fix my problem was Flashing it with a software called XperFirm. It just installed a new firmware and that's it! Thanks!
Hi, guys!
I hope you can help me with the following issue:
10 days ago I deleted about 150 screenshots on my phone and I really need to get them all back. I tried restoring the files using the dr.fone application, but it seems that I need to root my phone first. Here's when the hell began. I'm an amateur, I'm not sure if after rooting I will get back my files, but I want to try it. I've read on different forums about rooting, I am now familiar with some terms, I but still I need help from someone with experience, because I don't want to create bricks in my phone. Now I'm at the step when I need to create a scatter file, and something's not working.
If someone can help me (maybe there is other option except for rooting, in order to get back the screenshots) your help will be much appreciated.
Thank you
Hi all!
My dad has delted photos on his phone and now wants to get them back but I wasnt able to restore it from the trash as there were no photos there. I also wasnt able to find the OEM Unlocking to root the phone to attempt a recovery as the phone is a Canada based snapdragon model. Is there still anyways to try to recover these photos?
On a normal computer I would use PhotoRec/TestDisk:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhotoRec
That helped me already to recover many things from "broken" drives, sometimes I couldn't recover the names, only contents, but hey! It's free and I did get the pictures (that is what people usually worry about).
Seems like you could try it even with android... but only with USB debugging enabled:
https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Pho...data_from_my_phone.2Fdisk.2Fusb_key.2F..._.3F
I'd guess there must be a ton of other tools, including apps...
PS: Good luck, eh!

You more than likely cannot root the device. Only a select few can be if it has been updated it cannot.
As well there is no oem unlock on North American devices.
Tried to find the thread where a member here used a data recovery service and was able to recover their data in the last few months. Can't find it. It's cost ranged from a couple hundred to over a thousand for a rush job. They were successful. He mentioned the company's name I believe.
Finding a reputable data recovery specialist is your best bet if the data is critical and must be recovered. They have many tools and techniques at their disposal. Not knowing exactly what to do can lose the data forever.
