I need help transferring data , more specifically game data from a broken phone. The phone is HTC one a9. USB debugging is off on this device how can I recover game data from this device and get it onto another device? The game data was not backed up anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.
There is no chance, IMO.
It won’t be possible to extract the data from the device without fixing the phone first.

Hi all,
I know this has been said some where and all but i am trying to find a way . I am running cyanogen mod latest version 11 with latest OTA.. not into 12 and all. I am trying to connect mobile to laptop and make it recognize as a drive not as a portable player. I have tried various options like enabling usb debugging, and storage -> usb options and all nothing helped
everything shown it as a portable player. Now i will tell you my need of it, i Use Automatic call recorder for recording calls - not all only very important and precious ones. I should have learned most about their options and all.. everytime i call some one i stop the recording. But it was told that after 100 voice recordings the old ones will be deleted automatically and will be always 100 only at any time.. with all junk calls i have lost my precious recordings being replaced with new ones. When i recently found out that there is no option to recover those files, my next step is the data recovery..and there no good apps that can directly run on mobile and recover..so the next best option is to connect the mobile to laptop and make it as a drive and try to recover files..
Please tell me an option to make this happen.to connect oneplusone mobile to laptop and make it as external hard drive..and good data recovery software.. i really in need of those recordings. .some precious moments in my life..
Thanks...
I have no experience with call recordings, but are the recordings saved in a specific folder and a specific file type ? If so maybe use a backup app/program to backup those files everyday and sync them to cloud storage automatically ?
thanks and appreciate your reply.. the files are already lost.. i am taking care of current recordings..but wanted to get the files already deleted..
If you're still writing data to the internal storage you're gonna find it very hard to recover any deleted data, because it's overwriting those blocks. When attempting to recover lost data you need to completely cease any writing to the drive/card.

Alternatively, Dr. Fone may be compatible with your device and may work--there is a trial offer, but I don't know details.

Very simple. Use any OTG cable and insert there a memory card reader or pen drive even a external hard disc. I always connect my ONE PLUS ONE to my 1TB seagate backup plus hard drive with OTG cable for data transfer.
I think just plug in then the PC will have a "phone" logo on the drive. Or am I missing something. If not thing happened, go to setting---> stroage--->"menu"--->USB Computer connection
For recovering Flash Drive data, I think that is very hard. Good luck.
I am very computer illiterate so I am hoping someone can help me here! My friend has a Galaxy A01 with a broken screen and he needs his contacts off of it. He didn't have it backed up in google or anything. I have his broken phone here. CAnt I just connect his phone to my computer and somehow retrieve his contacts off of it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No, you have to be able to unlock the screen in order for PC to connect to the device. Your screen is broken which means you can't unlock the screen. If they did not have anything backed up to Google then I'm pretty sure they also did not have USB debugging enabled. Between the screen being broken and USB debugging not being enabled, you are pretty much screwed with no way to retrieve anything from the device.
This is what happens when one takes things for granted or never considers that things can easily go wrong and overlooks the necessity of backing up important data to avoid the situation they are currently in.
Accept your losses and consider it a learning experience. In the future, make certain to back up important data.
Hi, do you mean your computer can detect your friend's phone via USB cable? If yes, try Coolmuster Android Backup Manager. Its free backup function can help you access to contacts on the phone and export them to the computer via USB cable. It's easy and safe. You just need to enable USB debugging on the phone. About the details, please search online. Hope this will be your help.
You may not able to get back contacts if you don't have a backup on Google. You can check the local backup. If you have taken local backup then, you can bring back his contacts.
Background:
A person I know, dropped his phone (Android Oreo or above) into the water while at a beach. He tried keeping the phone in a bag of rice etc., but he can't get it to work. It won't even start. Samsung support said he'd need to replace the motherboard. He does not want the phone working again, but he wants the vacation photos from the phone. In Bangalore, there are some data recovery services that say they can recover the data for him (one of them mentioned some Spider technology).
Primary question:
Is the data recovery team's claim that they can recover the photos, actually legitimate? Can the photos be recovered from the phone in such a situation? How would they do it? Since the data on the phone would be encrypted (a password was needed to unlock the phone), would the data recovery team use a motherboard from a similar phone, connect it to the data storage and ask him to type his password to be able to access the data? If instead they removed the NAND storage and connected it to another board, wouldn't it be impossible to access the data without typing the phone's unlock password to decrypt it?
Concerns:
They might be bluffing, and this could just be a way to get paid for the "effort" that they put in to try recovering the data even if they can't eventually do it.
The data recovery team could clone the data and use brute-force techniques to gain access to any other data.
They could misuse any payment information stored on the phone.
They may view WhatsApp chats or other WhatsApp data stored (he says his WhatsApp is protected by fingerprint recognition).
if privacy is the main concern here, do it through samsung, through the official means. whats more important, the price of a motherboard or their privacy ?
Hi guys,
I cracked my 3a's screen so I've just upgraded, but unfortunately a couple of key apps I use (namely language apps which I have tons of progress on and can't migrate over with their systems) aren't transferring the data over. I've tried adb transfer, I've tried looking in the data folders, no dice. I can see my phone's screen when it's plugged into my PC, but the prospect of trying to root it is scary as if I can't see the screen at any point, I'd basically be stuck, and unlocking the bootloader could potentially delete the data on there anyway depending on the method used (haven't looked into this too much just yet).
Any ideas how to get this data off of the 3a? Thanks in advance!
If in this model whether a USB or BT-connected mouse works, you can perform a standard data transfer via a google account.

You can move your data to a new Android device from another kind of device, or start fresh with your new Android device. Important: Some of these steps work only on Android 10 and up.

I've already done that and ADB transfer, only the app itself "transfers" (redownloads off of play store) the app's data itself doesn't transfer.
Just to be clear; this is a non-debuggable app. ADB Backup just results in a 0 byte file. I'm 99% sure I need to root the phone to back this up, but I need to be able to do so while 1. accounting for the blank screen that'll mean I can only see what I'm doing when USB debugging works and 2. without factory resetting the phone in the first place as that'd defeat the whole point.
Any ideas?
Hi guys,
I am looking for some time now into the possibility to recover data from a data wiped phone. The phone is not rooted and basically stock with MIUI installed (Xiaomi 10T Pro).
First, I tried “normal” windows data recovery programs but with these I am not able to select the internal drive of the phone when connected to the PC just the hard drive of the PC. Then I read this could be when the device is not in MTP mode but after enabling it I still couldn’t select the device. I tried different programs also some mentioned here on XDA like DiskDigger, TestDisk, GT Recovery, Restoration and so on.
Then I tried it on the phone itself with the DiskDigger App, GT Recovery, File Recovery, Photo Recovery and so on. I got the feeling that all these apps don’t really look for data or do a deep search. The progress stops usually after a second with no results at all. Access to the storage was given.
Then I tried different recovery programs for Android I found on google like EaseUS, Android Data Recovery and so on. At least a dozen of those programs. Some of them unfortunately weren’t able to recognize the phone. And honestly, most of the programs look quite the same, have similar stile websites and installers and all claim to be number 1 in restoring. I also read that they scam people but I can’t really tell because they usually want you to pay for a result. Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem in paying a price to recover some pictures but I have to pay before I even get a result if some data can be recovered. If I would get at least a preview that something was found and can be recovered I would give it a shot.
Is it really so hard to find a decent software or app that can help me with trying to recover some pictures?
If anybody can lead me in a good direction, I would really appreciate that.
Thank you!
As anyone EVER recovered data after a Factory reset?
As anyone EVER recovered data after a Factory reset? There are so many people who just give blind advice to use android recovery software which actually doesn't work. I have contacted all data recovery they claim it's not possible after Android...
