Lost all my honeymoon pic after 5.1.1 update - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, im currently on my honeymoon and i just lost all my pictures that i took on my phone. I received the Lolipop 5.1.1 update yesterday and after my note 4 updated and finished optimizing apps, everything seems normal but my phone restarted and went into recovery mode and wiped everything clean.
I know I should always back up but I didn't have acess to a computer and this never happened before after any updates I received.
Is there any way I can get back my pictures ?
I actually teared up because today is my last day on my honeymoon and I don't want to even tell my wife.
Any help is appreciated.

I m sorry to hear that....i think you did not have a sd card else the pictures would have saved on that. I don't think there is anyway to recover those pictures but dont mess around with ur phone anymore and wait for input from senior members...maybe they can help. Its sad to have lost those pics but.....u shudnt let that ruin ur time mate...u have ur wife with ya And a long life ahead to make memories..cheer up!

Thank you for the kind words
I just wish there's a way , I had lots of special moments in there and lots of videos as well. I told my wife and she was very supportive and not upset at all.
I'll just wait and hopefully there's some goods news . If not I still have lots of good memories from this trip.

Disk digger is a good app but you need root to use it

for this you can use Recuva but you need a Computer or Wondershare
Dr.Fone für Android

I tried recuva but it's not detecting my phone only pc drives. I had my pics saved on Internet memory of my note and not on an SD card

I got it fixed without loosing anything! Plugged it into a machine that I just updated to win 7..and it said there was a problem with my card and if I wanted windows to see if it could fix it. Yes. It worked!
Check disk is it!
Backed up all my card and plugged it back into the phone...and it works great again.

There are a few things you can try,
1. Plug the phone in and see if your computer will recognize it. If it does it might give you an error that its messed up and will ask you if you want to fix it.
2. Get an external memory card reader (Tmobile stores sell them for under $5 usually). Put the memory card in there and see if your computer can read it. Same thing as above see if your computer can repair it.
3. If all else fails there is a program I've used before called Recuva that can recover delete pictures. I've had good luck before with the program.
All is not lost but you have to realize they may be gone. Next time back them up on your computer or online, especially if you hack your phone a lot.
I've been having the same issue since I switched to a different SD card, try going to recovery> plug your phone to comp> mounts and storage> mount USB storage>
Sometimes all the files are still intact, so hopefully its the same case with you.
You might have to flash back to stock to get this SD card mount issue fixed, and if you're switching to another SD card, make sure to copy ALL the files to the new one, including the ".Files" causes less problems. At least to my observation.
Good Luck.

Internal SD failure partially solved ... help!!!

Hey fellas I have had my galaxy tab sitting here collecting dust since about late may early June.
The issue was the apparently the internal SD was damaged on my Sprint tab when I put ics on it. It would just hang at the Samsung Splash screen.
now I went on Craigslist and got a local person who is much more versed on technical issues than I am .
I think he re-partitioned the external SD card to work as if it was the internal SD. He was able to load a stock Sprint rom on it got it to pass the Samsung boot screen. But now its back on Android 2.2 but its stuck at the setup screen! Nothing but force close messages . I'm not even able to select language.
What could be the next step? I feel like a major hurdle was overcome. But now another road block
Help please?

Yes, the internal memory of this devices (specially Sprint's version) has a tendency to go bad somehow, I was very desperate and decided to actually remove it and use my external SD, if you want to see how it was done go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877585
Also, who is this spammer dude?
Ignore that dude. He is just trigger happy today.

Lost Samsung Galaxy Note

Hello Everyone,
I lost my samsung galaxy note in Singapore airport when I am changing my flight to Adelaide. I am very disappointed about it. I tried all the ways by searching via Samsung Dive. I tried installing droidlost and Plan B apps to track my mobile. Since I have inserted my Indian SIM when the phone lost and unfortunately I changed to Airplane Mode. Now I am not able to track it by sending sms for activating the app since the SIM is on international roaming (if the guy who got my phone switches ON). Kindly please let me know any alternatives. I am very frustrated and hard earned mobile. Please.
Regards,
Kamal

Try to contact samsung customer care or file a complain regarding that including imei.
I know one thing thru imei u can find but you need to pressurize.

Call your provider and ask them to block the IMEI, this way the phone will be un-usable as a phone, And if someone has already placed a working SIM into it, Your carrier should know its location.
Dial up the pressure and get them to help you !
Actually it can be tracked but in indian system they dont even care

Hi. I suggest you contact the ICA (Immigration Checkpoint Authority) of Sillypore to see whether they found your lost Note.
Don't worry about them stealing, cause they're reliable.
That's very unfortunate to hear. I too am trying to track down my Galaxy Note. I was at the bus station the other day and someone asked to borrow my phone for a call. I was just doing a good deed but he ran away with it. I've also tried plan B but it seems like the thief has already unassociated the google account. I'd like to know too if there are any other ways to track down the note knowing only the serial number?
I don't want to disappoint you but I think it's kind of hopeless. It takes nothing more than a wipe of the system to eliminate the tracking capablity using Samsung dive. Let alone the possibility to flash a new rom. I'd informe my provider about the loss and get a new phone. I know that's not what you.expected but it's reality.

If anyone knows the slightest thing about android then they will now that they can erase everything in recovery (stock or custom) leaving no tracking apps installed.
However...... That being said, there are more apps being developed lately that are designed to survive a full wipe from recovery, so make sure to look in to it for future references.
Avast ! is one of these apps and I highly recommened trying it, But also, Spend some time online looking and comparing all the different security apps, Dont be afraid to pay for one if it is worth it ! because it could be a matter of paying <£5 for an app, or losing a >£300 phone !
On a side note, Most providers wont give a crap if you lose your phone, They will just block it and still force you to pay them, So dont always rely on them to help you if something goes wrong !
Finally, without dragging this post on for too long, Its nice the guy above tried to do a good deed, But in future DONT !! I know this sounds harsh, But in most places of the world people only want 1 thing........ MONEY ! and they will do what ever they can to get it.
Who doesnt own a mobile ? you can pick up a $hitter for less than £10 ! there are dozens of phoneboxes out there and even reverse charge numbers.
So keep your witts about you next time you try to do a good deed for someone :good:
To the guy who said move on to note 2
Got news for you... not all of us can afford to, or want to . I'm more than happy with mine. Ill wait until we have 4g here and get the note 3.
I've put features off the 2 on mine ,&they work fine . Also use ram boosters ,which along with oc speeded it up no end .

Need UK update in USA without root

Hello all I am newb, I just came over from IOS in the last 30 days. I have a few questions to the new system. First I want the new update where you can save apps to memory card(I saw it on you tube) The guy was also saying that there is way to do it with out rooting. The reason I can not root is I got the protection plan at best buy and don't want to F that up.
Another question is,is there a way to play the my music threw my usb to my pioneer head unit. I keep getting the incompatible usb. I have a galaxy s4 threw at&t. Thanks all.
No one can help me?

Firstly, you can't flash official UK firmware on your phone. Uk is i9505 and you have i337.
Secondly, don't worry about app to SD. It only moves APK files so is pointless, the large data files stay on internal storage.
Thirdly, even if you root you can always go back to stock for warranty purposes. (I've done it many times)
And last but not least, and probably the most important....USE SEARCH BUTTON OR GOOGLE!
Have a nice day
Thanks. I new someone would throw in the Google comment. Thanks again I am so new to android that I had no clue. This sucks that I can't throw spots on sd card due to the device only having 9 gigs of free space left. Does any one have a solution for sound via the usb on my pioneer had unit. I know I can use blue tooth but it sounded so much better when I hard wired my iphone to the unit.

Thank you. I tried most of them but still does not work. I even paid this sofware "jihosoft android phone recovery" but does not work.
Don't do anything else on the phone you will have to use a windows pictures recovery application to get them Google it.
Why not go to a professional data recovery team ? I bet you'll find plenty within $100 limit! And they might do a better job than a recovery software. Also, do not use your phone if you really want to recover things, the more you use, the more are the chances of overwriting the memory blocks which are holding your deleted data!
