Hello, I used LG Backup to to restore my data, but I'm afraid that since you did a factory reset on your device, you have no data of to restore, UNLESS you backed up some data on your computer and unless your Google account backed up some of your data, but other than that, you have lost all your data.

If all your backups were on the internal storage and you completed a factory reset, I'm afraid you've lost it all.

Sorry, but unfortunately, the Internal Storage on your phone has been rewritten during the factory reset, it can't be recovered, I'm sorry[emoji20]

Next time if anything goes wrong with your device again, backup all your music,photos,videos, etc using LG Backup app on the LG G2, and heres what I did, once LG Backup completed the backup I've made, I go to my computer and plug in my device and set the method to MTP, then I look for a folder called "LG Backup" I copy this file and paste it onto my desktop, and so that once I've factory reseted my device, I can just go to my computer again, plug in my device as MTP, copy the LG Backup file, and paste it into the LG Backup folder that's inside my device, and my personal files will be restored.[emoji4]

i'm sorry if i may sound rude !
but how could i use lg backup if the phone partitions was corrupted and i couldn't boot the rom ?
i had accessible the internal storage via twrp recovery but as u know u cant mount a usb connection while in recovery ...
the only way i could make it boot again was to wipe all , and i thought(i will never thought this thing again) that i could use a software to recover my files but it seems any softwares doesnt sees the mtp connection
and i didnt had planned to corrupt my system partition while working on my port
and i'm sorry again if i am rude , but the exhausting and the nerves i had last few hrs kinda makes me a bad person
and thx for all the help ure trying to give me :angel:

twrp has an internal file manager (under advanced menu)...
so if you didn't wipe/format sd card but only system partition you can copypaste folders/files to external usb otg stick directly from twrp
or did you wipe absolutely everything?

If I read you right and you have a nandroid backup on your OTG stick restoring that will restore all your photos etc (at least those that were on your device at the moment you made the backup)

at that moment i didn't thought that i'll have to wipe even the internal to brig the phone alive again
only after flashing the kdz firmware and ended up in a new bootloop but this time i got in the logs that the rom was booting only that the internal was detected corrupted too , and i had no other option since i had no recovery left after kdz to perform a factory reset

i had a nandroid backup which i restored of my previous working rom build with all my apps and data but since that nandroid backup didn't included the internal sd files those weren't restored

well i'm sorry then
it seems we all learn the hard way...
i hope someone knows the other way to recover (or even try)...
i.e. if only phone could be recognized on PC as an usb storage device and then trying to point some recovery program to that partition (don't know if this is possible at all with our phone)

Agree.
If our phone would have a way of setting the connection to pc as mass storage i might be able to restore or recover some data , but since there isn't, all I'm just saying is "screw u lg software" ?

Have you made a nanroid back up?
Make sure you unzip the rom from the right place on your SD card.also try and wipe the cache and reinstall the cm7 rom.
If that doesn't work! I can try and send you one of my old backed up roms.

you won't be able to access files unless you select disc drive, and you can't do that. are you trying to install through hboot?
if you take the battery out of the phone and go to the bootloader screen and boot into the recovery screen and select the nandroid screen you will be able to mount the usb storage from there at least i can from my wildfire, hope this helps you

Reset S4 with broken LCD

Hi guys, i've broken my Galaxy s4 lcd some day ago, and yesterday i've decided to sell it on ebay.
But now i have to wipe it. The problem is that i am running a custom Touchwiz rom and Philz touch recovery. So i don't think i can use Kies to make a factory reset.
I can use Odin to flash a stock image etc... But i don't know how to solve completely my problems.
Can someone help me? Thx

However, the Galaxy S4 doesn't have fastboot mode, but only download mode and recovery mode, so I don't know how to use the commands...

Odin will fix it.
Flash the stock ronin Odin. All your user data will be (sort of) removed.
A skilled user could still recover your user data' but most people won't even know its there.
You will not need the phone's screen to work at any point in the Odin process.

Oh ok perfect
I've just finished to flash the stock rom, I hope evrything worked fine. I'll try to install Kies3 to see if I can maybe do another wipe or something else to delete definately all my data inside (including photos etc...). Any suggestions?

Odin will wipe the data as well as Kies will.
But neither really removes the data. Both just remove the directory structure which makes it easy to sort the data.
To really remove the data you need to overwrite it with new data. That is much more difficult to do without access to the screen on the phone.
You could do it in recovery with the device mounted via usb to a computer. But you generally need to select that in recovery using the touch screen.
You can also push data to the device to overwrite using adb, but its more difficult.
All in all though...unless you have evidence of your participation in a crime on the phone, don't be so worried about it. It will be okay.

Since Google implemented Trim in Android 4.3, it's impossible (as of yet) to recover deleted data. I tried several guides here on XDA on data recovery and none of them work anymore.
See for example this article.

So basically if you delete a file or format your system, the data is really gone.

From my experience, flashing stock firmware with Kies DOES NOT wipe the user data/files from phones SD card. I have to always do factory reset from stock recovery to wipe it.

It wont ever wipe the external sd card
The internal sd card should depend on the tar file and if it formats that partition or not.
I never really paid attention to it myself because I have never had to flash a full stock restore on my S4 so I have no idea what the standard for S4 firmwares is.
The internal data partition though should be wiped with a full stock firmware in odin every single time.

Well, it's not. Believe me. I used to flash stock rom on S4 number of times and I can confirm that flashing stock rom with Odin DOES NOT WIPE any user data. Your photos and other files stays intact as well as the apss ( you may loose some apps internal data ) until factory reset is performed either from stock recovery or from rom itself.

Wiped "Internal Storage" in TWRP, by mistake. Anyway to recover?

Hi,
I updated to TWRP 2.8.2.0, in which developers changed the arrangement of Wipe buttons. I was busy, and pressed the buttons as i remember them and always do this (wipe system, cache and dalvic), without looking to phone screen.
Strangely, I found my free space 13 Gb !!!!!!!! .... Then realized that internal storage was wiped.
Everything on phone was lost.
I lost all my photos, 1 year worth.
Can anyone recommend a way to restore them ?
Thanks guys and really I appreciate it.

I think it's all gone unfortunately, unless you were using something like Dropbox. I'd recommend that for the future, just sync DCIM with your PC and you're safe.
I did that once too, it's quite a lesson to learn! At least you can connect via adb, that sort of thing, to get a ROM onto the phone again. You can also copy internal storage to your PC with that method, too, so if you ever plan to do something extravagant, you can first back up the whole internal storage.

Sad
The ironic thing is that I copied all my phone to PC one day before, to install stock Lollipop which will wipe everything.
Unfortunately, I deleted the backup from PC once i restored it to phone.
Can't recover it from PC now.
I learnt my hard lesson.
Try recuva for the pc

Happened to me last week.
I just switched from CWM to TWRP. When I tried to do a full wipe, I got a bit cocky and said to myself, "I don't need to carefully read the steenking warnings... I've been using CWM for a long time... how much trouble can I get with TWRP?"
After typing YES to the confirmation, I expected the wipe to be quick -- 5s -- but then it took a bit longer. It was only then that I realized that I wiped everything, including the SD.
Oh well... lessons learned.
BUT the good thing about losing my KitKat nandroid is that I got rid of old files and get a fresh start.

[Q] downloading/sending media after root

Hello all!!
My note 4 has some problem! some apps don't work, for example, vr roller coaster wouldn't load, I disinstalled and reinstalled it...and it worked, however other apps, such as telegram or whatsapp won't let me download or send any media: videos,audio,pictures. It sais download failed when I try to receive them. Also, I can't download Facebook photos, nor can I download from dropbox. All of this has happened after I have installed twrp, installed infamous rom, and then restored from a Nandroid backup. ..this because it didn't recognizer my sim..what on earth can I do to get it back working like before?! Thank youuuuuu

I have no problem in loosing all of the data: the things i care about are all on the pc(photos, and music)...the rest is all in the play store, i just have to download it again...so i dont care if i loos all the data...i just want to get the note fully working again like before...being able to write/read on the sd-card etc...!
THanks!

Urgent help require for recovering data

Hi there,
Its been a long time using the Note 3 since 2013. It had many issue but still carried on. But few days back when weak up in the morning saw the phone was off, though it was in charge full night. When turned it on it stuck in the Samsung glowing logo and nothing after that, it keep showing the same logo until it power is gone. Don’t know what happened that night, it was installing an update by itself or not.
Then google it and no steps helps, used odin and reflash with latest firmware from sammobile but that too didn’t help. I’ve lots of data in internal storage including sms and contacts and pictures. I’ve no issue to throwing off the phone but I cant lost all data in it, it will be a huge loss as just became a father and lots of pics on my new born baby, so you can understand the value.
Can anyone suggest how can I recover the data? Check the attachment for its current state. Thanks in advance.

I don't know how viable, but have you tried to install a custom recovery (TWRP, won't erase your media) and access recovery, connect to the computer and enable MTP.
It would be totally up to you.

Short version: Download the TWRP .tar file for your specific model and flash via Odin. I'm not sure about the PIT file, I've never messed around with it.

With the TWRP flash after done can I connect to my PC to get the data back? or do I only have to copy it to memory card? If so then can I use an OTG pendrive to copy? issue is I dont have so large free memory card to take backups.

With TWRP all you have to do is to boot into recovery and select the "Mount" option en check if MTP is enabled. After that your PC should recognize your phone as storage and you can recover/move anything from the internal SD card to the computer or to a USB drive if you want, or just save it to the PC. However, this will only allow you to recover things you have saved in your internal memory. This only includes photos, videos, whatsapp files, etc.... and not contacts, SMS and app settings.

With TWRP all you have to do is to boot into recovery and select the "Mount" option en check if MTP is enabled. After that your PC should recognize your phone as storage and you can recover/move anything from the internal SD card to the computer or to a USB drive if you want, or just save it to the PC.

ok thanks for the details, I've set everything and just waiting to hit the start button for TWRP Recovery. Before doing just wanted to know isnt their any file that I can copy and replace in other phone like contact.spb which stored all contact data (just for example)
And If I do the TWRP Recovery, after those backup done can I go back to the original recovery just by flashing it again? then I will look for another way to turn on the phone?

I think it IS possible to return to previous recovery (I've never attempted it) but you'd have to find the file to flash via Odin and try to return that way.
I'm not sure about moving your contact information from one phone to another by the method you described, I always sync my contacts via my Google account so usually any other phone I sync with Google has all my contacts.

With the TWRP I managed to take all contents backup except contacts and sms, I also took the action memo folder and I've another note 3 neo and I will try to copy paste to see if that works.
After the backup done from TWRP when I boot to system the TWRP option never again, even by going to recovery menu it went to the stock recovery option. Any idea how to take the contact and sms backup?

Hi, Thank you, I never payed with the phone and neither rooted though I'm a IT guy. With the twrp I couldnt see the root folder, though I checked to mount system but still not. I dont know how to root it, just want to throw the phone off after taking backup. Now trying with the CWM recovery and taking a full backup, dont know even it can be restored in other phone, looks like the backup is very larger. I've feb month contact and sms backup I used kies to do it. But recently my new card pin sent by the bank sms and cant use it until I get it.
Experience with this phone:
After 6month vibration gone
after 2 year charging port gone
Replaced at service station and thereafter no tower in room, no 3g, only 2g. 3g if I only if I go out side still only 20%time I get 3g.

Thats very important.
But phone only stuck in bootloop.
If bootloop everything can be solved.
The only problem you need to save data

I believe it is easy to fix by wipe cache
Did you ever do wipe cache in recovery?
If never do that, try wipe cache and dont wipe other things.
After that reboot, see if that bootloop still there.
99% success if what you said is correct.

Root by flashing CF Auto Root via Odin then boot into recovery and now try the Mount "System" option and see if you can now access files from the root of the phone.

Yes I know the issue is bootloop but how to solve this? I also tried few software for auto fix like fonepaw-android-data-recovery but nothing helped.
I can take the full system backup from CWM, the backup is very large like over 10GB but there have no option to take sms and contacts only. I dont know even with the backup I can restore it in other phone. If possible, restore and then I can take the sms and contact backup from there.
I did wipe cache partition 100 times. Nothing helped.

If I root it and say I got the contact and sms store file then if I have to take them and paste in other phone then I have to root that phone as well right?

Most likely, yes. I've never done it, but you could also search for a .??? extension reader (depends on what file extension the contacts and sms files are, not really sure) on google and try to read them that way, it is a high possibility that you might find software for your PC specifically designed to read those files.
Heck, you might even be able to open them with a text reading app, who knows.

Not so sure if this work for you but work for me, long time not using Stock ROM.
Just flash TWRP by Odin
After finish with Odin go to recovery mode
Go to advance then file manager
At root folder, go data/data
Backup what you want save to SD
But I believe our contact location is same
Mine at /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/
If fail you need root
Inside contact folder got .db files
You can read using root explorer, root explorer got sql lite reader, you can read it.

Great, thanks for your help and feedback. I'm trying again today and let you know what happens. With a CWM version I think my phone is rooted but not sure. While installing I saw the CWM saying rooting for a sec and then restart.
So after few days I got some time to work on it. I did CWM Recovery and took the full backup and the format and reset. Now the phone turned on and restored the backup by CWM but again its in Boot loop. Now what to do? and yes I think its rooted now.
I only need contacts sms and action memo, thats all
