Hello
Two days ago I bought Samsung Galaxy S4 ,, i took some photos from here and there, i wanted to delete one so i deleted the entire folder
I really need those photos
is there a way to restore them back ??
I don't have a backup
and I think my Mobile is non rooted
If your photos were stored on external memory card, you could mount that onto a computer, and try to recover files using any of the widely available file recovery utilities (just search the web, and pick one from a reputable company - I haven't had to use one yet, so can't make a recommendation).
For future, enable auto-backup/upload using dropbox or google plus or any of the other options - that way, your photos get backed up without you having to do anything.

Rooting isn't going to make it any easier to recover your photos.

Sorry, but I don't know.
Read - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705 - it "may" work. There may be easier solutions - hopefully, other folks will have better news.

My friend has accidentally deleted all photos of her little baby, which all photos in the internal memory and the phone is without root as yet.
I have tried to help her but seems cannot figure out the proper way to do so.
Is there any help / guide can be shared to me/us so as to recover those photos?
Appreciate if any help can be provided, thanks a lot~!:fingers-crossed:

You might search for the key word photo recovery in google play store. However, upon installing such application some of the storage sectors on the internal memory might be overwritten (depends on how full the the internal storage space is).
In case you do not want to do that and have a computer available you can search for the tool photorec (freeware). It's available for various operating systems.
For M$ you need to install the proper usb drivers for the phone (description elsewhere in this forum) and when the phone is recognized you start photorec by following the hints displayed by the program.
For a linux distribution you need the proper adb bridge and some knowledge on how to mount the phones internal memory as a drive and try photorec. As far as I remember some older versions of Android had a recover utility installed that could be used by executing it thru the adb shell.
For Mac I do not know because I don't own one.
Yes, it is possible. see this samsung galaxy data recovery solution which is easy to follow and helped me before.

Please provide more information. How did your photos disappear? Saying they're 'lost' isn't very informative.
To have your internal storage recognised, make sure before connecting your G2 to the PC you go Settings > PC Connection > Set USB connection method and set it to "Media Sync (MTP)". This will set up USB connectivity for transferring images, music, videos and documents.
Unless you give us any extra information about how the files got deleted, there isn't specific help we can give you.
so far what I can tell you:
if files got deleted by mistake... well, its easy then.
I suggest rooting your device - ioroot
Than install Undeleter
Try this and post us the outcome.

it wasn't by mistake,data deleted accidentally with unpluging usb cable .
is there any way instead of rooting?
Two things from my experience. First one has to be sure to select the correct mode for the USB connection and there may well be ".nomedia" files in directories where images are stored which would prevent say Gallery from seeing them.

for example remo programe for recovery can not detect my phone to recovery my images.
If you know some linux knowledge you can use testdisk. But you need to be rooted. DONT INSTALL AND DOWNLOAD ON THE PHONE any recovery programs . Because it overrite your old data. And all datas will be unrecoverable. Ioroot fine works (it just installs su and supersu.apk on system partition so it wont hurt your data.) Here is more info....
more info
If you want to download it as text it is here. from management.
Sorry for bad English..

Sorry i couldnt quote for first post so I want to quote for you receving notification.
With this tutorial you will have a img or whatever you want which is including your data partition bytes by bytes. So you probably recover your pics and so other. 2 monts ago i used and all data had recoveried. I think so it will work for you..

I just said to you if you root your phone, you will probably recover your files but if you dont have root acces you can recover your some folders maybe it will be hurt. So you need to think which one is important "varranty of the phone or recoverable data". But maybe you recover some folders, not all via usb otg. It wont overwrite your old data so if you dont wanna be root (i really dont understand you why you dont wanna be root ) you must use some app on play store and recover your pics and others.. ))

You need root for this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.defianttech.diskdigger&hl=en_GB
Let it scan your internal storage and see what it finds.
In Cyanogenmod you can choose to mount as mass storage that's how I recover files using recuva.
do you have tips for rooting?
Thnx, although I'm a noob into this I'm rooting now with kingo root. And will try diskdigger. The rooting is failed. Do you have suggestions for rooting?
greetings
Hello,
Last week 16 Gb of photos and videos (the last 3 years of my life) suddenly disappeared with only the last 6 pics I took in the gallery app. Stupidly I did not back anything up. I realize that the data is still probably on the phone, however to get to this I need to root the phone. The phone is running 5.0 Lollipop and is encrypted because I had to instal mobile iron. for my job. I have tried Kingroot, Kingoroot and several other methods but keep failing. I have not decrypted the phone as I believe this will make the data inaccessible unless there is some way I can get the encryption key off the phone. Any advise of method to use to root or how to extract these files given the current state of the phone would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sean

Post a screenshot of file systems,DCIM especially and if using microsd to see where data went.Possibly root is not needed.
Where did the files went?
In case of root i suggest using ODIN software and flashing twrp.tar file. (just in case u havent tried that already).

I am not using a microSD
From what I have read the disappearing of photos and videos randomly occurs to some people on the Note 3 and the file data if not overwritten is still present. XDA wont post let me a post a link but there are several threads elsewhere on this issue.
XDA also wont let me attach photos until I have 10 posts. Ill see if I can bump this to do so.
Please don't bump multiple times. Bump once in 24hrs.
Have patience. XDA is a global forum so every member is with various time zones.

You must Odin back to 4.4.4 to root.
I would make sure those photos weren't backed up after all. If you just use google+ for example they are backed up by default.
Places to check:
OneDrive, Picasa, gmail, dropbox.
Hello,
forgive me if this is posted in the wrong section.
I have a broken Mate 10 lite, screen is dead, phone lives.
Obviously i cannot manage from android since I cant see anything.
i can get into TWRP, USB debug and root seem to be fine, pulled some databases to transfer to my new phone.
The one thing i still need, are my notes. Mind you these were created with Notes app that came preinstalled on the phone.
Can anyone direct me as to where they are stored, etc. I desperately need my Notes.

I found the location of the application data - root/data/data/com.example.android.notepad . There is a "Files" folder, but it is empty (maybe just my problem, btw. my phone is running Nougat).
The second notepad's storage is located in internal storage - android/data/com.example.android.notepad . This folder is empty too . (I have a bunch of notes...)
Sorry, I can't help you anymore, Good Luck!
