This Saturday, my son accidentally deleted over 20k photos on my phone. After murdering him, I rooted my phone using this method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...root-partcyborgrom-aqk3-samfail-odin-t3717702
This requires a factory reset at the end.
Since then I've been trying every program I can find on the pc (fonelab, dr. fone, mobisaver, remo (which won't even recognize my phone)) and on android (diskdigger and others) and can find nothing.
Any help out there or am I completely screwed?
Where were the pictures saved? Internal storage or SSD?
I think there is nothing you can do if the images were deleted by user interaction.
The Partcyborg root process basically involves flashing a pre-rooted image, and then the factory reset. I don't think you would meet with any success in trying to recover the deleted data
Here's a response from the creator of the rom

Although that device was an exynos variant, the same applies to the US/Canada variants

Hello,
i have a G920F (Vodafone Germany branded).
After i recieved the last 6.0.1 update a week ago i reseted my phone for a better performance.
So i backed up everything and did a hard reset from the recovery.
After restoring everything back Whatsapp had problems to recover any of the last 7 backups "tried Google drive and local".
While searching i found that i might be able to fix this by decrypting and then re-encrypting the database on pc.
For that i need to access these two files but i don't want to root my device:
"/data/data/com.whatsapp/databases/msgstore.db"
"/data/data/com.whatsapp/files/key"
I tried many ways (adb, xplore) and i always get "access denied"
Does anybody have another method to do it? or maybe knows another way to solve my Whatsapp problem?
Or could it be something in the software that prevents WA from restoring? WA support didn't respond eventhough i sent them an email a week ago.
Thanks in advance guys
hello all.
long time viewer first time posting..
Ive searched, downloaded, and even called Samsung Tech Support to no avail. After a week now this is my final attempt before the phone goes on Ebay..
I have a Samsung Galaxy On5 (SM-GT550T01) through MetroPCS. Acquired last week when I decided to trade a sibling phones. I had actually rooted the phone for them and it was working fine. switched SIM card out etc, theirs works fine mine isn't. Turns out they did a factory reset with root and somehow managed to even wipe the OS leaving me with just Twrp Recovery.. Ive locked up my fair share so first thought was smart switch the SN i found on Twrps terminal was not the original sn anymore? Searched here saw someone post a sn -tried it - it seemed ok until 100% then states an error use code in emergency recovery but does not give me a code.. eventually says cannot recognize anything, Ive tried ODIN, ADB, countless recovery firmware - same result,,,called support was transferred to "the techs" who said they wouldn't be able to force a new OS onto the phone...I find that very hard to believe...sorry for the rant....just wanting to know now if i waste anymore time or buy a new phone....as for knowledge on all this I would say between beginner and intermediate...lots of google/XDA/YouTube and I am usually able to accomplish something..this had me beat as well as awake at 346am...any help appreciated! Again

What happened with your Samsung oN5 GT5501
Im currently trying to root my samsung GT5501. Now I notice their is a GT550. Different model. I think the GT550 is the ON5 Pro. 16Gb of internal storage, but the one I'm guessing were both inquiring about has an internal storage of 8GB, correct?? Now hopefully were talkg bout the same phone. Now was it the GT5501 the phone u had rooted? If so, did u do it without a PC?? If so can you direct me to instructions or vids. Can't find any specifically for the GT5501. All the tutorials are for the GT550 model..... sorry I wasn't any help to you, but I hope you got it all sorted out...
So, I was dumb and thought some pictures and videos of the kids birthday were backed up before I did a factory reset (was trying to fix battery drain issue). I have a G955u model s8 + that had the oreo update ota. I tried some recovery software but it says I need to root the phone, which I can't seem to find a way to do. Do I have any options at getting to this data? Thanks for the help!
Most file recovery programs are fake. Your device was probably factory encrypted and therefore unrecoverable. Rooting is what 99% of the threads on this forum are about but that will require another factory reset and data recovery would be impossible even if the device wasn't encrypted.
Hey everyone,
I am new to the programming scene and this forum.
Anyways, I run a repair business in Ontario and have repairs come in daily. In particular today, I had a Samsung Galaxy S7 come in for repair and the issue the customer explained was they forgot their pin or pattern lock. I used to be able to use TWRP and go into the system and delete the gesture.keys without losing all data but I read up on the new technology now with Knox and bootloader and I was told flashing TWRP on the Galaxy s7 without bootloader unlocked will cause bootloop. All I need is to get into TWRP to delete those keys because customer CANNOT lose any DATA (very important). Is there anyway to get TWRP on the Canadian variant without wiping or causing a boot loop. I don’t need root. Just need access to the system files from recovery to delete that key file. Unless someone else can chime in and offer another solution, but please HELP!

If the bootloader on that device is locked, you won't ever be able to use TWRP at all, not ever, not by any means.
If you know exactly what firmware build number thay had installed before this happened, you can try flashing that exact version of stock firnware via Odin. As long as the firmware that you flash does not contain a different(upgraded/downgraded) bootloader, it "shouldn't" wipe their personal data but it does wipe the user settings(pin/pass in this case). When flashing via Odin, the user data does not get wiped unless the bootloader on the device is upgraded or downgraded during the flashing process. Their data should stay intact if you use the firmware version that is already on the device.
If the bootloader is locked, then regardless of what you do, flashing the firmware is the only way you're going to fix this, whether it wipes their data or not. Flashing the current firmware that is already on the device is really your only option.

I’ve managed to reset the password because cudtomerbhad her Samsung account linked to the phone. Logging into Samsung online gives you the option to remotely unlock the pattern. She now has all her data and password is gone. Thanks for the quick reply regardless

Ah yeah, I forgot about that option because I don't use the Samsung account feature on my phones. Plus, I was looking from a perspective of what could be flashed or not without causing data loss.

Hello,
I have an LG G4 H815 with android 6.0 software version v20p-EUR-XX
I have sent this phone in for repair a long time ago and of course because of protocols they deleted my entire data. I've been wanting to recover some of the images that were on my device storage (screenshots are almost always saved on the device storage). I've tried numerous softwares such as dr fone in which it will tell me their root service has failed and that I need actual root acces to recover files.
A couple years ago I succesfully recovered files from my Samsung Galaxy ace, however this phone I already had rooted.
So I have a few questions now;
1. I have ended up using the device numerous months after, how much will this reduce my chance of even recovering the lost files from before the formatting?
2. To root the phone I need to unlock the bootloader, however this also deletes all files on my phone. Will rooting even give me my lost files back as by that time my phone will be formatted TWICE?
3. Does anyone know (prefferbly experience with the same phone as I do) a software that might be able to recover the files without full root acces?

Data recovery isn't very reliable on android.
Try the EaseUS data recovery software on Windows.
If the space where the data was stored has been deleted and then overwritten since the deletion, it's gone, if the space has been formatted, its gone.
