I have a Galaxy S8+ and accidentally deleted the MP3 files in my Music folder. To make it worse, I didn't back them up on Google or Samsung Cloud. I've tried using several recovery programs, but all end up telling me my phone has to be rooted first. I understand rooting might completely wipe out any hope of recovering the missing files. Does anyone know of a way to recover the deleted files?
Thanks!

More than likely they are gone. If non root apps or programs can't. Rooting will more than likely wipe them gone

Is there any way to recover files from a phone that has been flashed? All photo/file restore programs seem only to restore deleted information from memory cards/hard drives. I need to restore some data from my device itself (T-Mobile Dash). Are there any programs out there that will do this?
Thank you in advance for any help...
I really doubt you can recover from a flashed device. Your best bet is to go back to the old rom and then do a full restore with your backup file, which I'm sure that you have. Then copy all the files/reg settings you need to your sd card. Then flash back to the new rom and install the files/reg settings either manually or with sashimi.
Why don't you backup your files and program .cab's before you flash it? That's the smartest way..
no you cant, you should have taken a back up. But after flashing you cannot recover it.
Thanks for the input. I figured so much. I didnt think I had any files I cared about saved directly on the device. Teaches me to backup my files no matter what....

I know about a program that can recover deleted files not only from cd or sm card, but also from other media types. It is called Advanced File Recovery. I hope this program will help you.

That program is for windows and not windows mobile.
As far as i know, there is no way to recover data from a flashed mobile.
Has anyone used Recuva to successfully recover deleted files from their sdcard? I tried using it to recover a backup that I deleted yesterday and it hasn't found anything from that folder, even with a deep scan.

I have used it successfully. Recovered about 200MB of deleted photos, but it won't work if a new file has been overwritten in that block.
Files aren't really "deleted" until something gets written on top of them, like another picture in the same place on the sd card
As with other file recovery programs Recuva works by looking for unreferenced data, but if the operating system has written new data over a deleted file then recovery will often not be possible.

Damn, so every backup overwrites the last deleted one then?
Sent from the first unrootable Android smartphone.

Whatever got stored in that block deleted it, whether it be another recovery, or a text file
my phone got wiped last month after an unlock, factory reset or something and nothing recovered the data. i tried partition recovery, getdataback, easyrecovery, none of them found data. might have better luck getting stuff back that was just deleted.
I use a Mi 10 Ultra phone. I mistakenly deleted some photo and video files then upgraded my OS. Once I realised this, I immediately checked the phones trash bin, the Mi cloud, Google backup, the phone Backup, used several 3rd party apps from Wondershare Dr Fone to recuva etc to recover these specific files I mistakenly deleted. But I was still unable to recover these exact files.
I really dont think rooting my device or carrying out a factory reset on my device will solve this issue. I haf tried to.see if I coukd downgrade my OS bur discover its not possible on my phone. So I am willing to try proven methods that can ensure I get those deleted files back.
Please advice?
Many thanks in advance.
Sounds like they're gone permanently
You might try a data recovery specialist if the files are significantly valuable , like a Bitcoin wallet or something...
Hello guys,
I tried to use the search function but came up with no relevant answers. So a person close to me has accidentally deleted a whole album from the gallery app on Samsung Galaxy S7. I tried to use several software solutions but the results were not good. Is there a reliable way to recover the whole album or is it gone ?
Phone's Android must be rooted when it comes to recover deleted / wiped user-data.
If rooted then take it to authorized service center and let them try to recover the data in hope they have the forensic tool to do so.
So there isn't a reliable way to do it at home ?
Hi, nice to meet you. If you want to recover deleted photos from internal storage without backup, first stop using your phone in case of data overwritten. Then you need to ask help from pro shop or phone data recovery software like Dr.fone, Coolmuster Lab.Fone for Android, Recuva for Android, etc. Such software needs you to root your phone before using it. About the details, please search online. Just have a try and good luck to you.
I have a new phone (Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite). I wanted to transfer my Whatsapp account to it. But I stupidly went ahead without making a Google Drive backup of my messages on my old phone (Motorola G5S).
Instead, I installed Whatsapp on the new phone, which, since it has my old sim card in it, recognised me and re-created all the Whatsapp groups.
BUT all chats were empty.
I have copied the msgstore.db.crypt14 file from my old phone's Whatsapp/Databases folder. I've transferred it to my new phone. But no luck.
Is there any way to recover my old Whatsapp data (at least the chats)?
There is recover software for deleted files on your phone.. unless you wrote more data over in your old phone it is likely that you can recover it.
Google for a trusted recover software for android.
It might be possible if you install whatapps on your old phone again and it might recover the chats on it's on..
But I would try first going over a recover software.
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I do not need to recover files. I have been able to copy the msgstore.db.crypt14 file from my old phone's Whatsapp/Databases folder. But transferring it to my new phone does not seem to work.

I read that but that encryption file is most likely tied to hardware identifiers of your old phone and I doubt you might be able to decrypt in your new phone.
So my recommendation still stands try to power up your old phone, recover the whatsapp files, copy these files to a folder on your pc, then install whatapps again on your old phone.. see if it recovers automatically if not, replace the recover files..
Then there should be a backup option natively in whatsapp and then do a migration..
That seems to me your best shot.
Thank you, I will try this and report back if it works.
It worked, thanks!

Did it simple worked by reinstall whatsapp on the old phone?
