Hi to all here. i just want to ask anyone what to do with my phone. well first of all, my phone is a sky pantech vega racer im-a760s, not really a match for samsungs popularity but budget wise this is the model for me. it has a dual core. now my problem starts when i started editing the build.prop in its system (tweaked for some texting problem of limited character sending). of course i know what im doing on that part, but the only thing i didn't think that would happen was, i copied it in my computer, i edited it there, then i saved it as "all" in file type so it wont become a ".txt" format. but when i placed it in my phone. the file instantly disappeared, i think it was only hidden and the phone just cant identify it nor read it like something. now i restarted the phone, it booted up to its logo then it just went blank and it just stops there. i tried pushing recovery with adb in my pc cmd. but it cannot detect my device(no problem with my adb installation to eliminate this from the question), i also tried putting an sd card with a recovery file but there was no option for sd card path. but the phone can still function well, i know because it can still be loaded under flashboot, download screen and S / W upgrade menu and it can still perform wipes for all partition and caches and can reset for factory settings etc. but whenever i will reboot, its not going to complete. anyone please help me how to make my phone be detected by my pc. The usb drivers are just fine, updated it many times, read all procedure for making the driver connect perfectly. i reformatted the sd so it wont be a problem when i put it in. but in the recovery menu i just cant see my sd card, theres just the option for "update from external storage" but it doesn't have anything inside. what a mess. i cant make my phone reflashed cause its not responding with the connection with my pc. but when i am opening an odin (just used for connection monitoring) there are two yellow boxes with com port like these: 0:[com7] and 0:[com9], so i know it is still somehow communicating with my pc. please help any advice, i dont want to resort to jtag for im not sure if it will support my phone and it's already avialable for the model but definitely not going to send my phone for repair cause it will be costly. thanks to all who will respond. Please help thank you. additionally: OS was ics version 4.0.4 and rooted. already gone through rooting several times with no problem. just the editing part.
to edit Android files on Windows use only Notepad++ anyway do not use Windows notepad this is for Windows files formatting only
well, you have to get build.prop from your phone edit on PC then copy back
so enter recovery connect phone to PC create a folder say C:\tmp
to get build.prop from phone
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
mount system
exit
that's to mount system partition then
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop C:\tmp\build.prop
edit it and copy back to phone
Code:
adb push C:\tmp\build.prop /system/build.prop
maybe is not your case ? but I wanted to give you an idea
@ruscan.calin
Thanks, great. i will try this one once i get my phone recognized by my pc, adb seems not able to find my devcie have this message like this one:
"
c:\>adb devices
adb server is out of date. killing...
*daemon started successfully *
list of devices attached "
and that's it nothing happens.
thanks for the advice i will definitely use this once i get my phone connected with my system. thanks a lot

start phone in recovery mode do not connect to PC at this time
open Device Manager now connect phone to PC
if you see ADB Interface connecting in Dev Manager it's ok if not you have a problem with phone drivers so install it again

Hi, cant still afford to make the adb component in my device manager to appear, but it's good to inform you that it helped me a bit because i was able to see the storage of my phone and i was also able to put some files in there without any hassle that alone was satisfying me that my phone is not really dead. sad to say i did everything i could to have my pc detect my phone via recovery menu, but still no devices found. it's really weird that some links are saying that i should make my phone's "usb debugging" enabled, wherein fact i cant even go beyond my original problem(bricked phone), i can't even see the inside of my phones directory, only the storage one that was activated just recently. i even did a reinstallation of my usb, uninstalled every other phone related usb installation to avoid conflicts reinstalled my phones proper usb installer then restart. no progress still to be called. it makes me feel that the phone was just trap in the state of booting and not knowing what to do because it cant see any command inside its system. i cant go into the systems directory as well. and that's the only way i think i could revive my phone in replacing a new build.prop, as you advised to be edited in a notepad++ which i recently acquired and installed. by the way how do i save the build.prop to its original file format, and what is the extension. thanks alot for helping out. im getting a little brighter each step of the way, im not loosing it to come to smashing my phone to pieces instead of keeping a very expensive paper weight.
usb debugging enabled is not useful in this case (you can't set it )
build.prop is a file with .prop extension save file with notepad++ name it build.prop then check location of file it should be build.prop notepad from Windows saves it as build.prop.txt that's not good also notepad adds some formatting characters inside file that's wrong so use only Notepad++ when working on Android files (or VIM for Windows editor etc anyway do not use Windows editors they are good for Windows files only)
-try these things on another computer (to install drivers etc)
-I advised somebody to send a mail to manufacturer and he got a reply with a link to stock rom... that's great !
-if you link me your build.prop file I can tell you if it's ok
-pc link - that's to be solved firstly check manufacturer site for sync software/ drivers even send mail

that's great news, you actually come to emailing the phones manufacturer? wow, im flattered. well you're a very nice guy to help me out on this. and i have good news too. i found out that i have a little conflicting usb drivers, as i have installed samsung for my previous phone(samsung galaxy 1) i had it liquidated for this new one. but a little hard on the support. you gave me a new idea about the usb. so i uninstalled all the related usb drivers and have it reinstalled. now i am able to communicate with OTA firmware server, and i got a reading that was not happening before(stucked in just detecting the phone) now i have a percentage reading of downloading or so. but i still have to wait if it will complete and have it repaired. so by now you can give me a little more help cause im still not at it in pushing through the use of adb programming. and the link you mentioned, i'll wait for the progress about it and see what really was it. and thanks a lot. really appreciate it.
fixed bricked phone via OTA by fixing link to pc.
Hi, i thank you for your help. i managed to fix the phone myself. i just missed the simple step that you advised me. fix the link first to pc. i have installed another model of the phone for the same manufacturer with different type so that was causing the mixed up for updating and recovering via the OTA site of the phone. so yey. you helped a lot. i thank you. i am now running at ics version 4.0.4 and now rooted. i will not commit the same mistake of saving the build.prop with another format. that was bad. so then i'll be very careful in editing the build.prop and first of all, i will keep a backup inside where i can access it even if it will be hard bricked. never forget that one from now on. so this is it. i thank you. of all the place ive been circling around for answer. here is where i found it. and just one person. hooray. thank you very much.

that's good news ! and thanks for feedback
feedback is an invaluable resource ! (some just forget about that from my experience :laugh: NOT your case ! )
It's REALLY important that I recover as much data as I can. I've been following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705
I have my mccblk0 (Some 14.6Gb) dumped to a RAW file, but am unable to attach it as a VHD to proceed with the tutorial. Windows gives me an error about the Disk Management console not being up-to-date. I've tried it on two different computers, one of which being a version of Windows 7 that's pretty darn close to being stock. I've searched through Google and through the posts on XDA threads and can't find a single other person who's seen my error. I'm really at a loss on how to proceed from here.

You could try to flash the raw data to a USB pen and then mount the partitions you need on a GNU/Linux (they are typically ext3/4 partitions, not supported by Windows natively) box to get at least your files back.
Instagram is a popular APP used all over the world. With it, you can share your photos and videos. Usually, these photos and videos are meaningful to you. For example, they can be your wedding photos or travel photos. Thus, you want them to be safe there. But, you may delete them by mistake. Now, in this post, I will talk about Instagram photo recovery Android. If you are also bothered by this issue, hope this post can help you.

Hello!
im trying to recover a very specific file that i think is a .dat file. i have tried different recovery tools but haven't find anyone one that is able to find the file. does any one know of a recovery tool that may be able to find this file? it's okay if the tool costs money but i want to be sure that it can find .dat files
thx for the help
Edit:forgot to write that im trying to recover it from a factory reset
A Factory Reset deletes all those files that weren't present when the phone was put in the market.
Deleted files aren't accessible from within Android.
What 3rd-party recovery tools have you tried out so far?

i have tried undeleter so far
I am also interested in file recovery. I have an Motorola XT1032 with a locked bootloader, Android 5.1 and the app/data has been uninstalled.
So far I have tried:
Dr Fone root
KingRoot PC
Recoverit for PC
UltData Android
Minitool Android Recovery
None have been able to root the phone or find anything useful
Ultdata can only recover pictures videos etc
Minitool needs the phone to be rooted, and surprisingly did not detect older phones that I tried that were already rooted.
DrFone Android Recovery indicated 300 files which it zips up, unfortunately I had to pay to recover them to the PC, and they were all just remnants of kingroot, drfone etc.
DrFone root, kingroot, kingoroot, iroot etc all failed to root the device
I am now considering the approach from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-internal-memory-data-deleted-files-recovery.3093292/
-but am concerned that this process will first wipe the device.
Update: The DirtyCow exploit appears to work on this handset without resetting it, using the method from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/xt1528-verizon-pre-paid-temporary-root-achieved.3530293/
