Hi,
I'd like to copy the entire internal memory partition (sdcard) of my opo to my windows computer.
I tried doing with regular file transfer (MTP) with usb cable, but each time at some random point pc can't see phone anymore and the transfer gets interrupted, and I have to start over because I cannot be sure exactly which subsubsub...folder copied last.
I tried doing with adb pull, and I get almost the same result also with some corrupted files.
So I'm asking: how do you copy large amount of data from/to phone/pc? Is there some kind of tool to manage data trasfer, i.e. with checksum verification, pause and restore if lost connection and so on, to make sure that when the process is completed all data is intact and I won't find "bad surprises" some time later?
Thanks

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.
A few days ago I entered phone hell. At the time, the phone was on the last stock upgrade from AT&T, wasn't even rooted and didn't have a custom recovery. Short story is that it soft bricked out of nowhere for no apparent reason. I finally gave up on fixing it, installed TWRP recovery, did a Nandroid backup, wiped everything twice and reinstalled stock through Odin. Fortunately the Nandroid backup recovered my data and my apps, so I was able to selectively restore through Titanium.
Now that even though both the internal and external SD cards are more than 50% empty, I can't do anything like update apps or sync gmail because of insufficient storage. When I connect it to my PC, Windows Explorer recommends that I scan and fix the card. I suspect that whatever Windows is seeing caused my brick and the lack of space issues.
Is it okay to let Windows do the scan and fix?
Long story short? No...
Enable hidden files and folders in explorer and find the directory that is eating up the space.
Either that or USB connect it, copy everything over, disconnect and wipe from phone (settings > storage > erase) and then reconnect and copy everything back
i have heard many people complain to me that they just format their memory card accidentally on which a lot of important files have been saved. they are so upset because of the data loss that regret for a long time. i myself also have formatted the memory card by error and felt terrible when knowing all information have been lost. and it was more than one time, actually. i have tried to find out many ways to get those files back from the formatted memory card[/URL]. Finally, i got how to complete that task. i want to share it with you guys:
We can get back those lost files with data recovery tool from the accidental or intentional formatted memory card. Data recovery software could retrieve that data within a shore time. Here are its steps as follows to show you how to perform:
Step1. Download and mount the data recovery software on the computer.
Step2. Insert the formatted memory card to a card reader and then connect them to the computer on which the data recovery tool installed.
Step3. Double click the data retrieval program and choose the recovery model. Then select the object disk to scan.
Step4. You can preview the restorable contents in the list after the scan. Preview them and choose the wanted to recover.
Step5. Select one of the computer hard disks as the location to save the files to be restored.
there are precaution to avoid such data loss trouble, in fact. that is to back up those files regularly.
While it's nice that you decided to spend the time to write a guide, this thread will probably get buried extremely soon unless if it's stickied.
Hi i recently made a backup with wondershare mobile trans and it created a .BAK file of 30gb and it is corrupted i don't know why, I can't read videos and photos (if you know any way to access the data in it even if it is corrupted please tell me), i tried extracting it with winrar but it only extracts 6gb of some photos , the rest is corrupted it can't finish extraction.
I flashed a new rom and orange fox recovery , i have root access , i installed disk digger with full root access but it can't find any photo (not a single one) in my internal storage , is there any way to recover my photos from internal storage ?
I flashed my phone before knowing The backup file .BAK was corrupted
If you flash a ROM then Android's internal storage memory - who is surprised ? - gets completely overwritten, means previously stored data have been lost.

I formatted internal storage before flashing the new rom
Steps to recover your deleted data from your rooted Android device-
1. Connect Your Android device.
2. Launch Android Data Recovery software on computer and choose 'Data Recovery'
3. Choose file types to Scan
4. Preview and restore lost data from Android phone.
Stop using your phone to prevent new files from overwriting lost data. Then try to use data recovery software to detect the photos from internal storage. If it can be detected, recovery is simple.

I tend to think it's a lost cause especially if the drive is zeroed out when you flashed.
Don't know but...
This wouldn't surprise me as it's a wise precaution to ensure a clean flash/load.
Even if not overwritten the file structure is lost as that was certainly overwritten when you flashed it. All you will find at best is completely random disjointed files.
The images will have no metadata ie time stamp etc. If you have hundreds, thousands of random images just forgetting about them becomes the less frustrating option many times. There's no way to index them except by memory, one at a time.
Been there, done that
I have a Huawei P30 Lite New edition phone (Emui 12, Indeed I connect the phone to the machine, the internal storage appears well, I delete files. when I look at the remaining storage capacity it has been deleted, but as soon as I restart the phone the files that I thought I had deleted are there again.
What to do ?
Thanks

why cant you just delete the file in tour phone directly? regarding in your files its possibly that there is a conflict with your dm-verity of your phone
dm-verity helps prevent persistent rootkits that can hold onto root privileges and compromise devices. This feature helps Android users be sure when booting a device it is in the same state as when it was last used.
deleting or modifying the phones system without correct permission is bad specially when you use pc to delete or modify your phone there is possibility that you deleted the temp files only in your via pc and its not really deleted in the physical memory the pc thought that it deleted it the files but no, its not deleted or there is possibility that when you delete the files in your phone via pc the phone restored it back to original state because of the dm-verity the phone thinks that there is wrong in the filesystem or that you used unauthorized method to modify your phone thats why the phone reverts it to normal, unless you delete the files in your phone directly it will only revert back to normal again and again. BTW what files are you deleting??

Thank you for your reply.
I cannot delete this from my phone because my phone starts in emergency backup mode (See attached photo), probably due to a lack of space problem because when I look in the PC my remaining storage is 300Mb (probably low so that the phone can start normally).
Indeed the folder that I want to delete is the download folder which weighs more than 60GB mainly videos and movies downloaded from the internet.
How to circumvent this reinitialization to the previous state?
Looking forward to reading you
THANKS

hmmm i see your phone thought that there is important files contained in your phone thats why it protected it (its only base what i read in the error in the picture) ,in the picture its said you can back your files in an external drive or sd card or something and reformat your phone thats a first option , second possible option is if your willing to lose your files and all then reformating your phone is the best way to fix it if it you can reformat anything using fastboot fastboot too if i were to choose i would choose option 1 but its up to you. btw to understand more about your problem may i know the full specs of your phone? but im guessing its huawie right? even so pls tell me the full specs
