So without there being a mass storage option what is the best way to go about recovering data like lost pictures and what not?
bumping this im keeping my tablet turned off till I get an idea for this so I dont write over the data I lost so cmon I know someone has to have an idea for this.
plug ur tab into your computer as mass storage mode, download/buy "recover my files" then recover your files
not sure if im doing it wrong but I have the Galaxy Tab 10.1 from Google IO and when I plug it in I get no options for mass storage or anything just Keis which then the recovery software doesnt work on from what I have tried.
Hi,
unfortunatly I destroyed the display of my phone. The phone itself is still working I just cannot see anything.
Is there any way to do a backup and/or access the data on the internal sd?
USB is working for confirmation via the display before the usb drive can be mounted...
any idea?
Nobody any idea?
If you know how to boot into Recovery it could be possible via ADB I think .
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 guys, I had some video files on the internal storage that I deleted after I thought I had backed them up. Is there any way to recover them?
I wasn't on wifi so the videos were not backed up.
I already tried a few undelete programs and they either require root (which I don't have) or they ONLY recover pictures (not helpful).
Thanks!
Disregard any app and trying this in phone, it seldom works well.
Make sure you do not download stuff, store, take any photos, etc. Anything you do might overwrite the files.. basically anything that writes to the internal media partition is likely to mess up the files so you won't be able to recover them.
Hook the phone up to a computer so you can access files and try something like recuva software to recover everything. Pc software should be able to read the phone storage, but I haven't tried it myself from the s8
From say an SD card it's easy, but since the pc reads the phone "as s a drive" it should work too.

The phone isn't mounted as a drive unfortunately, USB MASS STORAGE isn't available on this phone, I don't know when they stopped it
Recuva does not work either since it cannot see the phone.
Make sure the phone is unlocked and open or Windows will not see it as an external drive.

I might just root my phone and try to do it then. Any way to backup things without root? I used to use Titanium Backup... but naturally without root... cant.

for the purpose of this problem. The answer is no way to do it without root. Also, to root phone means going through factory reset. The full steps to root will technically factory rest phone two times when all is said and done.

If you have the Samsung USB drivers installed on your computer - Enable USB Debugging and then you shouldn't have any issues with being able to see the internal & sd card Storage.

Already enabled it, didn't help. I can see my phone but again its mounted as MTP which isn't helpful. You need MASS USB STORAGE but google removed that about 3 or 4 generations ago

You can use Samsung Smart Switch to backup your phone to your pc - I've done it without Root.

Yeah I understand that. I suspect the videos are gone, but it's worth it even if its partly corrupt. This is why root is so important and why its stupid they removed mass storage.

In the original SamPwn thread it describes Two Steps. Could I maybe do step one, THEN try to recover videos before doing step 2?

How did you root, and was there success with the data recovery?

With the given root methods your deleted data will be over written. More than likely you will never recover it if you root
My son messed with my password entry, and the phone defaulted after too many "failed attempts".
I had about 2 weeks of pictures and videos on the phone that I would like to attempt to recover. They were stored on internal storage, not an SD card. The last time I attempted recovering anything was on a previous phone. Just mounted it, ran Recuva, and grabbed the available files.
With this G930V on Oreo, I can't mount it as a drive any longer, I can't seem to scan for files meaningfully from any app or from a computer without root access, and I can't find a meaningful way to get root access (I've rooted a few phones before, but I can't find a working way to do this one).
Is there any meaningful way to recover files after such a factory default, or should I just accept the loss at this point?
Thank you.
