I accidentally formatted my card and lost all of my data, i was able to recover some of my photos and video's and song's but lost my nandroid backups and htc usb drivers and all.
can some one pls help me and give me the image or content of wildfire default sdcard which is provided by phone itself.
need one more help, how can i get my default froyo back since i lost my nandroid backup now.
right now i am at cm7
please help me guys.....
That included HTC Drivers EXE file can be found here:
http://www.multiupload.com/W04IW5QDZK
I can't provide you the other files since I have (deliberately) formatted the SD lots of times.
For getting back to Froyo, you will now have to depend on Froyo RUU's at Shipped ROMs. Since you say you already have tried recovering data from it, don't think there's any other way, (Unless obviously you send it to some professional data recovery service person).
Thanks alot mate.....

hi guys
i took some pics at a family wedding and since upgrading ROM i don't see them anymore
so they must have saved to phone not card . is there any way i can get them back
please help
tia
you can check your phone memory location using file explorer go to device, my documents, they should be in my Pictures.
Another way is go to Camera tab and press Album (left corner) this will give an overview of what is stored on your device and Storage card check each one
I suggest also going into your camera options and changing the storage option back to storage card

If you flashed a ROM then all prior data is technically unrecoverable. Sorry! ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR DATA!!!!
Oops I missed that you had upgraded your ROM bugger
You could try a data recovery software search google there are lots of freeware
Run the program choose your SD card and see if it finds any JPEG files
I have done this before and was successful
Good Luck
thanks but the photos must have been on the phone all the other photos are still on the card , can you run recovery software on the phone itself
cheers
marty
Ok i've found tons of software to recover from the card but none to recover from the phone itself does anyone know if any exists or a way to see the phone with pc software cos only the card shows up
thanks in advance
marty
I hate to tell you this but once you flash a rom it erases everything on the phone and rewrites it so those pics are gone.
There's no such thing as a photo recovery software for a flash ROM.
I'm sorry for your lost, but once you flash a different ROM, everything is wiped clean. It happens to the best of us, OP. I had similar things happen on my Diamond. Just remember to go through your checklist of the things you need to backup/save before you update the ROM.
Ok strange things
i ran recovery software on the card and found photo's taken on the correct date,
recovered them to pc, can see a thumb nail of 1 which is the wedding but none open , anyone know good recovery software ? i've used kroll ontrack recovery pro
seems flashing the rom did do something to the card (i think)
note to self "always take out card when flashing "
thanks for all help
i live in hope

You wouldn't happen to move the HTC album cache to the SD card, did you?
i had a very bad experience with nand backup/restore very recently and wanted to share it with the community and hear any feedback or suggestions where i eventually did wrong.
First of all i have to state i am a newbe on Android and have just started learning how to do some mods via the great help of this forum.
here is my case: I have partitioned my SD and moved all existing apps to the newly created partition via recovery mode. When I reboot no apps showed (i am not sure apps2sd is missing or what) therefore I decided to restore my earlier backup which went trhough succesfully but guess what ? ..... the phone did not reboot anymore and it arrived only up to the HTC flashing logo and got stuck there.
I had to find the stock rom again (sorry i forgot to mention i was using the stock rom) and reflash it from scratch which finally made it to work. thanks to shipped-roms.com !!!
My first guess is that for some reason the restore did not work and i got into a sort of loop mode because i tried moving all apps to SD before rebooting and this did not work properly.
does anyone have any idea of what could have been the problem ? I will provide any addiotional specifics if needed.

hi
app2sd has to be cooked into the rom and cannot be installed separately into the rom so have u used a rom with apps2sd in it im using Jacobs 1.5 which has apps2sd and i have done ext3 part & to my knowledge u need to do ext3 part for apps2sd to work
hope this helps
Actually you can install apps2sd after flashing a rom without. Just flash the darktremor skript you find in the forum. It depends on the rom if it's working fine or not. It worked for me with modaco r3.
Thank you for your help. As I stated originally i am using the original shipped rom and I have flashes a modified recovery where I can both partition the sd, do an ext2 to ext3 and eventually move all applications to the sd, however when I did it they all disappeared. Because all seemed to be available via the recovery menu is did it without checking more but I will need to do so since my Tattoo is already full.
I have not read around anyone saying that original Roms cannot install apps2sd. Am I wrong?

As I already said you can install the apps2sd script. But it is not installed by default. So if you want to use it you have to install it first. The rom can not detect your apps on the ext partition because you have not activated a2sd. You can find it here.

this is great thank you. just a last request: is it possible to remove and return all apps to the internal memory in case I want to restore as it is now ?
in addition does this work for all apps even if they are not setup to be running from SD card ?
sorry if i am asking so many questions but given my previous bad experience i want to make sure i am not going to screw up everytning again....
I don't know if there is a command in the a2sd script that can remove those files from your sd. Maybe a2sd remove in an adb shell, but I'm not sure. You can move any app to your sd with this script. The other thing is for froyo. I think you don't even need an ext partition on 2.2.
Thank you very much for your help!

Over the past day or so I have been playing around with some of the gingerbread sense roms out. After flashing the last one, my sdcard comes up with the message that its mounted read only due to an unexpected problem. I have tried fixing permissions, even went and removed the gingerbread rom and restored a back up of royal glacier, which had no problem with my sdcard before. Any ideas as to what is going on? I'd hate to have to format my sdcard as there's a LOT of misceleanous backups on it from my phone. Any help in this will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. If it makes any kind of difference I am using the 8gb sdcard that came with the phone.

Have you tried mounting it via settings? Cm7 is having the same issues pretty much, if I go to settings storage and mount sd it fixes it till the next error. Lol it sux azz and I don't think anyone here can build a rom without using cm source. :/
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I tried that to no avail. Even tried remounting through adb... As far as mounting through settings goes, it shows the card is mounted read only, and will not unmount or anything, if I press the unmount it leaves that screen and comes up preparing sd card, then the same error message... I don't know, guess I'll just have to pull my sd card contents and format. Will that effect my cwm or anything else I am using which made folders on my sd card?

HELP!!!!!
Okay. So I took the sdcard from my phone, and attempted to pull the files and folders from it. WHAT A SHOCKER! they're all set to read only. I had to take each file and folder seperately, go to properties, and uncheck read only from the attributes. But there's STILL a problem, Once I move them to my windows 7 64 bit pc, the are set to read only again. I take ownership of the folder and it's contents, and as soon as I click apply and close the properties, they're set back to read only. I have already formatted the sd card, and want to put these files back, but if they're read only wouldn't it mess up my phone's sd card again? What am I missing to get my sd card back to working condition? Anyone who can help with this issue would be a LIFE SAVER. I have a TON of info on this phone I don't want to lose. I Pray to the android GODS that my phone's sd card did not ruin all my info.
Try them, mine show read only as well on my 32 bit vista system. And they never change either.

Will do as soon as I return home and will report back with what happens, as for now I found out that what messed my sd card up in the first place was installing ginger sense with NO ext partition. Found a forum here witj a walkthrough to creating said partitions and have done so. As for my back ups and all other files, I will let you know what happens... Thanks for the help!
P.S. Am not having same problems as my saphire did that I mentioned in pm. I have no sdcard in right now, and am fully functioning...

So far the contents of my sdcard appear safe, help is very much appreciated... Now if I may ask, what rom are you running my friend? And also is there a sense gingerbread rom that is 100% functional?

After over a week, I just realized that my sdcard crash costed me over 200 of my pictures and videos... A lot of those were of my son... I just learned the importance of backing up your sdcard the hard way...

I have searched but have not found a definitive answer.
I am giving my x8 to someone, and at the same time I'll install them miniCm (not it has stock 2.1).
What is the recommended method to deal with all the crap I have accumulated in my sdcard?
-Should it be formated/deleted?
-if so how? format in some way? just connect usb and delete everything in \sdcard?
- when must it be done? just before installing new rom?
thanks in advance
just delete everything after you install the rom and you will be allright
Well, after you have miniCM up and running do a full wipe in xRecovery and delete all PERSONAL files on SD card, such as xRecovery backups, music, vcards and so on. The rest may remain, the stock SD card contains crap such as tutorial, SE videos, PC Companion and so forth, and there might be some config files here and there, but they are of no importance...
I just left my card after installing and every thing was fine,

ok, that is what I did, manually delete stuff that I thought was no longer usable for the new user, but I hoped there was a more automated/sure/efficient way to accomplish this.
thanks
Well, you can always make a formatting in windows or xRecovery, but you'd lose all the SE stock stuff that was on the SD card...
Is it possible to swap a nandroid from one Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to another Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (exactly the same tab) like swapping the nandroid from each tablet? In other words clone it...(do a Nandroid in one and restoring in the other) Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
yes, it possible
If I'm understanding your question correctly, it can be done and is very simple (to the poster above me: is it so hard to explain how to do something when someone is asking if it can be done instead of just saying yes? I see that on this site too often and I see it when I'm searching for the solution to a problem and come across threads discussing the problem that say SOLVED but the person doesn't explain how they solved it. Its ridiculous)
Anyway... Clockworkmod backups can be accessed with any file manager like ES File Explorer. On the SD card. The backups are saves in clockworkmod/backups/ and all you'd have to do is copy the folder that contains the backup you want to share to the tab you want to restore it in. Place the copied folder in the clockworkmod/backups/ then boot into recovery and restore it.

I don't see a "How" in the question. Then why should someone explain the entire procedure just for a confirmation question.
Also if he wants the procedure too, he can ask here again. Its no big deal
Thanks to both of you... I do know the process, done it many times, is just that I haven't tried it by restoring it on another phone or tablet in this case... Just wanted to be a 100% sure, lol that's all. So shake hands you both, and thank you both too! Take care guys...

Save them to your pc too. Ultimate safety measure. Saved me a few times.
On a related subject, would it be wise to copy or move Nandroid backups, (or Titanium backups), to a storage disk on a computer or USB drive? At nearly 1GB each, backups take up a lot of space on the SD card. If they can be safely stored somewhere else and copied back to the Tab's SD card, this would free up some prescious space on the SD card.
Is this a good plan or am I missing something?
Bob
I always keep at least the latest backup in the device, just in case I dont have my laptop close when I need it...

Yes, it is always best to keep the cwm and titanium backups in your system. But I always keep only the latest copy of both the backups in tab as a security measure as mentioned above.
