Hi all,
On my phone the text messages and photos are accidentally deleted.
I need help in recovering them. I tried the trial versions of some software I found on the internet and none of them are working.
Is there anyway, I can access the file system and run a scan? The phone is appearing as a device on the PC. May be, if I can put t as an external drive, I can use good software I think.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
Chand

Hello all Newbie here with a bit of a problem!
I need to be able to recover deleted text messages on my O2 Mini-s, can anyone supply me with any information on how this may be done??
Have background in computing and basic data recovery so have not used the phone since the messages were deleted!
How are text messages stored does anyone know the data structure??
Is there a program available to dump the content of the device on to pc to allow use of a full hex editor?
I really *need* the deleted messages and would appreciate any help even if it means developing a program to achieve the end result lol
Hey guys,
I'm glad to discover you!
I have a friend of mine has a Motorola MB525 and her kid made her a Christmas present early this year: factory reset.
The problem is that she didn't create a google account, so the contacts were not synced with google. And no backup to the external SD was made, unfortunately.
I don't use android devices so this is a bit new for me, and I don't want to make any mistakes.
There must be a way to recover it. I mean, a factory reset deletes the data, as a (quick) format does on a hard disk, but there are applications like get data back for NTFS or FAT to recover it (and R-STUDIO - there are a lot).
Now I have the welcome/first set-up screen. I didn't go with the set-up process, so I won't override any data.
How can I get those contacts back? Should I go woth the set-up process, install a file explorer and search the device for the files? Are they still there? Any ideas? PLEASE there were 900+ contacts and she can't get them back.
Don't get me as a noob, I work in IT, so I can do it with just a hint, but as I told you, android is a foreign OS for me, so I don't want to make any wrong step. Those contacts are crucial!
Thank you so much in advance!
Merry Christmas! Or Happy Holidays!
Best Regards,
Andrei
i don´t know any method that can help you, i really don´t know what is the precess that the phone follow to reset, but if is a format your posibilities to recover your data are so little
possibility?
Maybe if I create an entire image of the system? A .img, .imc or .vim so I can bring it to a data recovery software such as getdataback?
Any idea how to create this image file of the system?
Thanks in advance!

L.E.: Guys!
I found some apps that REALLY get data back if it is recently deleted and not over written. Now I just need to mount the system partition so I can access it from windows or to clone it to PC or SD card and access the Card.
How can I do that please? I need to CLONE it not to copy the files, because the copy and paste will only copy the visible files. The clone or mount will give access to the deleted files also.

Hi there,
I have got a problem:
I flashed my Motorola Defy with SlimKat 4.4.2 build 3.8. I'm totally happy with it, it really works fine. But i have the problem, that i dont have access to all stock sounds. When I try to choose a ringtone, the list is empty.
Now I have some own mp3-ringtones on my sd-card, but I also want to have the stock sounds. When I browse my phone with ES Explorer I find can find the folders on my phone and also the ringtones, but I can't choose them in the settings section.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much in advance!
Problem solved:
I wanted to format my sd-card. Then my PC found 5 defect pictures, which it could not copy. After deleting all this defekt data, the data scanner on my phone could work properly and now everything works.
So, if you have any problems with media data updating on your phone or you can't find it in your galleries or system settings, format your sd-card or scan for defect files.
Bye.
Hi,I wonder if anyone can help me out - I factory reset my GT-I9505 (stock rom -Android 5.01 Lollipop - never rooted).
The problem is that I would like to recover my sms messages - and I didn't use an app from the Play Store to backup first.
I did though make a copy of my 'Phone' folder onto my Linux desktop. I thought this would give me a complete copy of the phone's internal memory including hopefully the sms messages that I need - and that I could copy the files back to the phone.
I can't see any sms / mms database in this copy - I can't even see any sms database in the phone currently when connected to the computer - probably because phone is not rooted.
I was able to recover a lot of other files and photos from this 'backup' - perhaps the sms database was not permitted to be copied to the PC.
Is there any way that I could restore the messages do you think?
I would be happy to root the phone or use adb or other software - I suppose it all depends on whether I actually have a copy on the computer ( not sure if I have or if it is hidden in some way - I thought Linux would see all the files.
Grateful for any advice you can offer.

Your "backup" consisted of copying files from the internal storage and/or microSD card to your computer. However, text messages are not saved on any of those. They are saved on the /data partition of your device, in an XML file, which you have wiped during your factory reset.
Long story short, your SMS are forever lost. Next time use an app for this.
Thank you
Pwnycorn,
thanks for replying to my query.
I know I messed up but just wondered if there was still a way to recover the sms.
No-one would want a phone that left personal data still on the phone after a factory reset, so I think I knew the answer all along - but sometimes it's worth asking someone with expert knowledge of these things, just in case there is something that can be done.
Anyhow I appreciate you taking the time to reply and advise.
Thanks

Hi guys,
How are you? I have a real problem with this device as I have suddenly deleted my data "documents, videos and pictures and cannot find any solution as there is no successful way to root this device. On the other hand I cannot run the device as mass storage device and cannot find any software working with the MTP to recover the files.
I need any method or software to run as mass storage or to restore the files.
Thank You.

Hi Silver,
You can use dr.fone toolkit for Android to recover mobile data. I tried it on my friends mobile when he accidentally lost all his files and believe me, it worked like a charm :good::highfive:
