Galaxy S6 file recovery failures- a grand list - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6

Verizon samsung galaxy s6 got factory wiped, I tried a variety of solutions to recover the files, all failed. In case anybody else is in the same boat and attempting the same thing, here are the details to save you some trouble.
Model number SM-G920V
Android version 6.0.1
Build number MMB29K.G920VVRU4CPC2
Google- 15 gig limit. I'm trying to recover the files that were created after reaching the limit.
Rooting- as of today I'm unable to find any method of rooting this phone. All research and sources indicate it is currently impossible thanks to Verizon + Samsung shenanigans.
Program Failure reason
Aolor Data Recovery Fails to detect phone
Coolmuster Data Recovery Requires root
Dr Fone failed
Easus Requires root
Fonelab Requires root
FonePaw Android Data Recovery Recovers a few recently deleted files, but otherwise requires root for deep scan
Hdata recovery Not sure if intended for android devices
ilike android data recovery Requires root
MyJad Can’t detect debugging turned on
Pandora Recovery Program fails to function
Power Data Recovery Requires sd card
Recuva Only works with devices with drive letter assigned
Remo Requires sd card
Tenorshare Android Data Recovery Pro Requires root
My pain is your gain! Or at least, my pain is your lack of potentially wasted time. There is no gain to be had here. :crying:

[Q] How do you recover stock/original applications prior to flashing CM 9

Please bare with me since I am still learning about android and so my question is, how can I recover my applications from my tablet after I have rooted it. since the stock/original applications takes up 8 gigs of space of my internal memory. I just cannot seem to access/delete those 8 gigs??
I flashed cyanogen 9 to my SGT2.10.1 and it was successful, although I am stuck on trying to recover my applications from the partition internal memory. Of course I have done a variety of steps to recover them and some of the steps I took are:
1. I tried using the spk tool - I really do not know how to use it and I am having a hard time figuring it out
2. Trying to delete and reformat the internal memory - was not successful since it only erased of what I currently had on the rooted and partitioned memory, thus my original/stock application are still within the internal memory.
3. I tried using applications such PC36IMG-AmonRA-3.07-gnm.zip - I changed the name to PC36IMG but flashing it lead to installation fail/aborted
4. I tried recovering them with titanium back up - but the application couldn't see my original/stock applications
5. Also tried using Astro File manager - Same results as TBU
6. Deleting the files from my pc via usb- it does not give me an option to reformat it
Any suggestions? this is the final step that I need to complete to finally enjoy my retarded galaxy tab 2

A virus masked with encryption?

I left my Lenovo TPT unattended for two days on.
When I've tried to use it again I got a message that encryption did not end correctly to make a reset to original values.
This was strange and because recovery was not working I did tried that step as well without success.
Due to low battery, I manage to access settings and came to realize that there are strange certificates install like TURKTRUST Digital Certificate which I came to realize is reported to be a virus http://eromang.zataz.com/2013/01/04/...ctive-attacks/
In recovery I see that I cannot mount the internal SD or data. I can connect trough ADB but I'm not an expert able to use it properlly.
Any ideas on how to recover my TPT?
Using adb I manage to get the logcat ...hope someone is expert enough to go around this problem.
I only need to format / mount SDCard and data which is blocked now ...
Thanks in anticipation.

[Q] Samsung duos i8262

Hi All,
I've i8262 without an external SD card & lots of images & videos were there on the phones internal memory.
For some reason (a kid accendentally) factory reset the phone & all this data is lost.
I've tried to use some of the recovery tools like Recuva, Android data recovery, Remo recover, Wonder share etc & all of this did not recognise the Internal memory connected in MTP (Portable media player). Only other option is connect as Camera. There is no way to connect as a USB (for a drive letter to get assigined), that above softwares could detect & recover.
I thought rooting the phone, I could get a drive letter but the 50+ webpages I've checked told to install only one software Framaroot (latest 1.9.3) which has got a Trojan virus. Theres no other tool to root it I've seen.
So, Is there a way I can recover all the lost data after factory reset & how can I root it first(any other software)?
Android version: 4.1.2
New to this group, so posted the question in general. Please move it to the appropriate one, if this isnt appropriate.
Thanks in advance..

Recover lost data

(phone: Moto G 3rd gen, 5.1.1)
Hello,
I've been looking to recover lost data from wechat (images) for the past few days, and am still looking for a decent application/way to do this.
For example "Dr. Fone" and variants all allow you to select the same kind of stuff, but they only scan some specific folders. I would need to scan the whole internal memory.
Next step was to find out how to access the internal memory as a USB mass storage device, but that doesn't seem to work in my Android OS.
Interestingly enough "Dr. Fone" did some kind of quick-root (non destructive root) and was running a simple program on the phone itself for scanning.
I assume they rooted because the windows application said so and because from what I gathered is that Google now uses MTP by default because of a host of difficulties to simultaneous access files/partitions if you're using USB instead of MTP.
Furthermore these wechat images are located under /tencent/micromsg/WeChat, so I don't know if they are taking into account when scanning the phone.
What I'm looking for is an application like Recuva, but than for MTP devices. From what I gather is that this is not possible due to MTP.
So the next question would be: how do I gain temporary root on my device so I can for example install a USBMS enabler? After that I can use Recuva to go through it.
Or another question would be what application allows me to not only select the default categories, but just give me a folder structure and/or list of files (preferably with a filetime and a preview)?
Thanks!
No way to root it without unlocking the bootloader, and unlocking the bootloader = wipe.
No unlocked bootloader means no root, temporary or not... File recovery on a non-rooted device is nearly impossible since mass storage went away and MTP is the only real external access to the storage.

Galaxy On5 Data Recovery

Hi.
I mistakenly flashed my Android Galaxy On5 (using Odin's "AP" option) with one of the Exynos files. I saw something about "userdata" and knew immediately I had made a mistake, even though I did not load anything in the Odin "userdata" option. Why I did this probably isn't relevant, but I'm happy to provide more detail.
My question, however, is a simple one: Having done this, is it still possible to recover the user data that is no longer visible on the phone? When I reboot the phone without TWRP, it looks like it has been factory reset.
The phone is rooted, and I can see the device shares with "df". I can't see any secondary SD card based on the information I found about it sitting on top of where the SIM card is installed. I have done plenty of computer data recoveries from hard disk.. But every tool I have downloaded online for the Android seems to be polluted with malware, and I even reimaged my desktop because of all the crap I've tried.
Do you have a recommended tool for this that isn't some horrible marketing ploy? Minitool, Dr.Fone, FonePaw, and Kingoroot were all unsuccessful.
Also, if the data resides on an internal SD card, how is it formatted? I assume it is not a typical EXT or NTFS file system. Can you tell me which device I should be trying to recover from? It looks like /dev/block/mmcblk0p21.
If the internal storage is inaccessible, another thought I had was to do a block copy (with dd) onto a separate SD card, but I am unsure of whether this would provide a copy of the overwritten data, or would it actually reduce my chances of recovery.
The phone is a Samsung Galaxy On5 (SM-G550T).
Much of the data is non-critical, but some of it is unfortunately irreplaceable. Again, I'm really looking for a "yes" or "no" here, either data recovery is possible or not. And of course any suggestions on how to do it are greatly appreciated. The time it took to flash was almost instantaneous, but I also realize that flash drives are different from spinning drives in terms of how data is written and stored.
Thank you.

If you haven't any advice on how to do it, just a simple "yes" or "no" as to whether a recovery is possible would be greatly appreciated. There must be a few forum readers out there who know the answer to that question. Anyone? Bueller?

If you wiped out userdata, that means all your data is gone. I know for computers, deleting data doesn't necessary delete the data, but rather makes the space unallocated, meaning new data can be written over it. Not 100% sure if they have something similar for Android. If you have google synced with your account, you can recover most of your data that way, otherwise you might be out of luck.
