[Q] Trying to recover Snapchat folder - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am using the following tutorial to recover my snapchat data folder from my phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...emory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705/post34185439. I have gotten to the part when I mount and format the VHD. When I use Recuva or Puran File Recovery I don't get the files I need. Is there a recovery software that searches for ALL files, specifically files that end in .nomedia?
Just to make sure I am mounting the right partition, everything from
/data/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/received_image_snaps
would be in /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 which is the userdata partition, is that correct?

Is the efs partition encrypted

Hi,
when i copy bml 1,2,3 etc. I can mount most of the partitions in linux using the loop mount. I cannot do this with the efs partition. Does anyone know how to decrypt it? A work around is to copy the files themselves.

is it possible to force USERDATA readonly during FW installation?

I'm trying to recover files from my phone. coping /dev/block/sda18 using dd has not worked for me as recovery software only finds 3 files on the filesystem (it was high level formatted). There are alot of file recovery tools on android but I need to be able to boot my phone, in order to prevent any damage to the USERDATA partition (sda18), I thought of possiblly forcing it to be read only and then installing firmware, booting, installing recovery software, and using it on the read only internal memory.
is this feasible?
Thanks all
I could use an undelete apk, like this one -> fahrbot.apps.undelete. I'll try to install with /data unmounted...

Data recovery internal storage - how to create image with dd of /storage/emulate/0

Hello!
Unfortunately I have deleted internal storage in TWRP recovery.
Now I want to try to restore the files using Testdisk / Photorec.
The directory of interest is: /storage/emulated/0/DCIM
Is this directory located on a specific partition?
If yes, which partition?
And can I create an image of this partition with dd?

[GUIDE] How to properly backup your partitions using TWRP

Hi XDA, as most of you are aware, my phone's efs partition was corrupted through too many rom installations, I have recived a new Pixel XL as part of google's warranty and want to teach you how to properly backup your partitions using TWRP.
General steps (REQUIRED):
Download TWRP 3.2.0-0 image (link coming soon, for now just check any ROM forum)
fastboot boot it (fastboot boot *file path*)
Without Storage:
Skip the copying of /data/media steps and you will be fine!
With Storage:
Go into the file manager
navigate to /data/media
make a copy in /data
There should be a copied /data/media folder
click backup and refresh sizes, you will see that the data partition has increased significantly
backup all partitions ONE BY ONE (if one partition goes wrong, you don't have to erase everything)
Use a file transfer program (I use Air droid) to transfer this backup to your computer

J5 data recovery

Hi
I have a dead (not responding nor charging) J510FN. There was no encryption activated on the device
FOr the purpose of data recovery from the internal memory I got hold on a eMMC reader. I could recover something like 27 partitions from it, including the userdata partition (around 11,5GB)
Looking with a hex editor through the file I can see its basically full with data. But I didn't have any success yet in recovering any files. I tried to mount the .bin file and run a recovery program (ext4) through it, but couldnt get any files at all.
Someone can give me a hand on this?
