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/

Ok so I recently picked up a Huawei Ascend Y (H866C) from Straight talk. Now I'm no noob to rooting and roming but this thing has got me beat, from near as I can tell Huawei has locked the bootloader and disabled fastboot.
Without fastboot I can't flash a recovery, without the recovery I can't get SU, without SU I can't do ADB shell and push anything to /system; so i'm stuck in a never ending loop.
Does anyone know of a way to remount the system in r/w mode without SU, or for that matter maybe just a way to unlock fastboot mode?
Again I'm not some noob whining cause he can't get rooted, I've spent quite a few hours googling, looking up other forums, and running tests myself and have only now come to ask for help. So please no one tell me to google it or to stop whining.
Thanks

i know that i am new to rooting but i do really know how to root.
first, try superoneclick.
disable all antivirus and enable usb debugging.
if that doesn't work, use gingerbreak if you are on gingerbread.
also, disable antivirus.
also, try doomlord's easy rooting toolkit.
if that doesn't work, try kingroot.
remember to use the apk.
otherwise, use the root tool at shouji.360 .cn/ root
hope that helps.

How Can I Perform a Forced Upgrade?
Download the upgrade package from http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do. Use the unzipping software on your computer to decompress the upgrade package. Do not change the name and structure of the dload folder that is contained in the upgrade package. Use a USB cable to connect your phone to your computer. Copy the dload folder to the root directory of your microSD™ card. Disable the USB mass storage feature of your phone. Upgrade the software of your phone using the dload folder on your microSD™ Card. a. Power off your phone. b. Press the volume up and volume down keys at the same time. The upgrade screen with a progress bar is displayed. c. When the progress bar reaches 100%, remove the battery from your phone for 3 seconds. d. Reinstall the battery on your phone, power on the phone, and then wait for the system to start up.

Do any of those temp-root exploits work on the phone? Can you boot the phone into recovery/download mode? Google "manually root android" and try some of the methods there.

Huawei Root
Can u plz tell me how to root huawei y201 pro
As it says in the subject line, I'd never felt compelled to root my Shield Tablet buy now wishing I had. It is on the latest 5.1.1 update and I want to transfer my data in such a way as go clone it onto the new tablet I've received due to the recall.
Is there anyway of making a Nandroid backup and loading recovery without unlocking and losing the data I want to keep or another alternative method such as the built in adb backup solution.
Thanks for the assistance in advance.
I managed to use Helium (Carbon)
But remember having several issues:
First step was getting the desktop app to recognize the tablet in debug mode. In the end drivers need to be reinstalled with 'have disk'.
Think i used the ones from nvidia website
Also afterwards Helium had trouble detecting existing backups. Had to install all apps manually on the new tablet, 'fake' backup everything again, then replace all .ab files with the ones from your 'real' backups. Some details here.
My device seems to have gone into a bootloop - either due to a virus on the device...... or (I believe) due to SPACE - or as a result of it running out of space it has maybe overwritten some of the ROM (if that is at all possible!?) because everything was fine until I did some large downloads and then at some point it just entered into this constant bootloop that I cannot get the device out of, so I cannot backup the files from the device directly. When I try accessing the device from the PC via a USB cable it says it can't find the DRIVER OMAP4430...... tried installing this driver but it did not help.
All I want is to be able to access to my personal datafiles on the device - iot backup them up to the PC (or an SD card in the device itself.....).
I have done some reading on the internet to try get HOW2 on doing this but just find info on HOW2 flashing stuff onto the device, via Odin, etc...... I may need to do this anyway (or do a reset factory settings) which is fine, but I would FIRST like to be able to backup or copy off my personal data from the device.
Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated.
You could flash twrp recovery with odin. After that you can boot into recovery and access your files with twrp file manager (Advanced->file manager).
Hello XDA,
Here's a quick review of my screnario.
Obj: Move data to new device.
Org. Device: ZTE (locked)
System 16b Android 6.0
Apps in use: ES Explorer, Magisk Manager 7.3.4
I had been moving/cleaning data as ES has an awesome UI with recycle bin!
I ended up wiping some media prematurely,
The crazy thing, the second I hit del, I tried to stop it.
Anyhow, all the apps installed seem fine, it's mainly media.
So, a few months back I had installed minimal ADB bootloader,
on a Windows Pc, and managed to unlock a different device,
pull up Android recovery,
and try to load an image on that device.
As most here know to do any recovery, root access is req'd.
Kingoroot, iRoot, Dr.Phone, EaseUs all are useless w/o.
The main ??, 1, I have Magisk Manager app installed on
this Zte device, and trying to gain root access,
just to eventually do file recov.
When I go to option in Magisk,-select and patch file,
it pulls "select raw or Odin tar."
From what I recall, I need a raw that matches device specs.
Or is there a generic IMG for ZTE.
Thanks in advance. Would this be easier with Ubuntu?
Hello,
I decided to have a shot and try to ask for help here. After many hours of trying and googling I could not find the proper solution how to backup my media files. Whenever I go to recovery mode and connect my phone via usb, using SDK tools I write "adb devices" and it tells me that my Samsung Galaxy S6 is connected via "sideload"?. Is there any way to backup my media using sideload? I am not able to pull data from the phone using "adb pull", but maybe there is some sort of script that I could push that would make my phone do a backup. Hopefully there is a chance to recover my files before I do a full wipe. Photos and memories gathered in 4 years. Would suck to loose all of that.

Sideload is a one way street, you can only use sideload to transfer data from PC to your device, not device to PC.
Try booting into recovery and only wipe the cache partition(DO NOT FACTORY RESET), this will not delete your media files, it only deletes temporary files, if your cached files are causing your bootloop, wiping cache will fix it.
If you can't get the device to boot into system, you might be screwed.
One other option is, if your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash TWRP custom recovery for your specific model number then you have a couple of options, you can connect to adb while booted into TWRP and use adb commands to pull copies of your media files, or, you can use the Backup option in TWRP then extract the backup to retreive your files, extracting TWRP backups is kinda tricky though.
