hey guys,
i have a very serious problem and im already searching the internet for a solution since hours.
i had to make a factory reset and lost all my fpse savedata.i was playing many hours of FF8(70+) and these savegames are really important for me.
i made a nandroid backup which is broken and restored the fpse app with titanium backup with no luck.
does anyone know a file recovery program which works with the s4s mtp protocol?
most recovery programs on windows don´t recognize the s4s storage
would be very thankful for any help
thanks

Or try hexamob recovery lite app from Play Store.

What do you mean by broken nandroid? If possible, try to view the nandroid backup and manually extract the savedata. This can be done by using Nandroid manager.
If you want to get back your data forensically, it would be very troublesome. I know as I'm currently studying digital forensic for my course. You might also not be able to recover the files if the data had been overwritten.
Tried hexamob bit it doesn't work with the internal storage,my problem with my nandroid backup is that i can't restore it using CWM.
Nandroid manager sounds good but i don't think that my savefiles are included cause they are stored on sdcard/.fpse im not sure but i guess the nandroid backup doesn't include the internal sdcard?

Depending on what recovery you used and how you did your nandroid backup.
If you did a custom/advanced backup and selected specific partition to backup, there's a high chances that you might not have backed up internal sdcard partition.
If you chose the 'backup to external sdcard' option, there's probably a high chance that internal sdcard is backup too.
You should really try out the Nandroid Manager to see if your backup has internal sdcard partition.

Did you figure it out? I have same problem accept I want to undelete pictures from internal memory..
+1 Nandroid Manager app
I was surprised with the Nandroid manager app - while it didnt work for me at first, i did get an update through and then it was fine. Currently, however, it wont restore my nandroid, but it might be worth giving it a try as previously mentioned

TitaniumBackup will backup all apps and system data, but does it backup data stored onto the internal SDcard ? Say you copy a few albums and some pictures onto the SDcard, will Titanium figure this out ? My gut feeling is that it does'nt and if so, what would you recommend to take care of this ?
I would like to install a new ROM, and I know from past experience that the SDcard on the 'Nexus 7' will be completely wiped and want to ensure that I don't loose any data
I backup all my data regularly offsite by using both TB and nandroid backups, then use a sync app to copy the data including other folders (Like pictures) to a workstation.
Lost/Stolen/Broken/Messed up by a ROM update, I can restore and be back like new (even with a new device).

Excellent advice, thank you !
i sync to my ftp server..
But ti backup will backup to and restore from a sd card with OTG Cable. Done it several times. just set your backup location to the sd card while its mounted.. but do not unmount while ti is open do not unplug otg without unmounting.. You WILL CURRUPT YOUR BACKUP.. YES I DID THIS once too...
Good Luck.. TI sync app is so very slow and useless ..
i use andftp. app
Well if your already unlocked, your SD card won't be wiped when you install ROMs.....

I'm trying to backup in recovery mode but i can't because the backup size is 4.5gb and i only have 1.5gb storage left on my 8gb nexus 4.
How can i backup my files?? can i make it back up to my computer or something? it's because i downloaded so many songs recently/
Transfer old backups to the phone, or make some space on the phone first and then transfer it to the PC
I don't have any backups on my phone at the moment. How can I clear like 4 GB when I need them all?
You'd have to take the data off your phone first, not ideal but I can't think of another way
Is titanium backup just as good and comprehensive as nandroid backup? I think titanium can backup to computer
Don't know, never used it

Titanium backs up APPS and APP DATA. not the system itself. By doing a nandroid, you're basically backing up the WHOLE android OS. 10/10 times it'll work EXACTLY the way when you restore it back. Where as Titanium only backs up the app and their data. Even then, it's not a 10/10 compatability when you restore it. You might run into some app issues.
Take data off your phone which will allow you to do a backup. After the backup is complete, move backup to your computer and all your data back onto the phone.
Delete your downloaded songs or move them to a PC. After u done that u might have enough space to make a nandroid

Okay for some reason i can't find the downloaded songs anywhere on the drive when i connect my phone to my pc.

Hi everyone,
I have a situation here with my Nexus 4. I am running CWM Recovery 6.0.4.3 and AOKP nightly builds. I was using Stock ROM before AOKP. That time, before I upgraded I was trying to make a nandroid backup. I had around 7GB free space before performing the backup. Eventually the backup went wrong, it said "Error while backing up /data". I don't know what to do so I just reboot and re-run the backup process, but it still gave me the same error. I then boot into my phone and realized something... my free memory space has lessened to around 2GB only! I then decided not to make the backup and just flash my ROM to AOKP. I thought this will clear the problem, but it's not.
So, my question is, how to clear this used space? I checked in the nandroid backup folder and found absolutely nothing there, so it must be somewhere else... Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance

Just as you said, it must be somewhere. Check other folders or even the rood of the virtual SD card. If you still don't find anything you may have to factory reset the device and wipe the SD card partition. Before you jump the gun though, make sure (assuming you're using windows as your PC OS, show hidden folders.
Did you check of have a Clockworkmod folder? Each time you create a backup, it creates a new folder with a new time stamp.
Use a file manager to delete the unnecessary or aborted backups. The backup folder should be visible with having to use an app such as Root Explorer.
I have no idea what I did wrong, but I installed CWM Recovery on my i9505, then made a backup, and it all went fine. Now I'm trying to access the backup file to move it to my computer but even though I can enter the clockworkmod folder in the phone's internal memory, the file is not there, I can't even see it from ES File Explorer or any other way. The space was used though, because I had around 4Gb free before, and now I have only a few Mbs.
What happened?
I think I solved it, but there's definitely something wrong here.
The backup folder was in /data/media/, what's up with that? That can't be right.
I had this problem before I couldn't locate my backups because I wanted to transfer them over to my computer so I use a app call "rom manager" it locates ur backups, and u can delete ur old backups with this app also to save memory. So I deteted my backup and did it over again but to my external card and it works.
I hope I help in some way

Hi People of XDA,
Is there any way for me to directly make a Nandroid backup to a PC?
Because my phone has no space left for a full Nandroid backup and I want to try some custom ROMs.
Thanks in advance.
You might be better off mounting your storage in recovery to the USB interface and moving all the backups off to return them as needed.
Alternatively, move all but one for on the go repairs.
Wait, I do what? Can you explain a little better? I mount my storage on a PC you mean?
What recover do you use? You should be able to mount your storage to your PC and pull your old backups off for preservation.
