Recover deleted files on Nexus 6P Rooted - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on a Nexus 6P rooted and I use Asus File Manager app to keep pictures/videos etc. I accidentally deleted the wrong folder and now I'm wondering if there is a way to recover that. It doesn't seem to be built into the app itself. I deleted it a couple days ago and I haven't taken any pictures or added any files since.

No possibility to recover them. Deleted is deleted on Android.

You could try undeleter from the app store. I'm not sure if it needs to be downloaded before you actually delete a file but give it a try. There is also Dumpster which retains deleted files for as long as you want in the event you ever accidentally delete stuff.

That's completely incorrect. There are several data recovery tools online that can be used. Storage is storage, deletion only means that that space has been allocated to be written over, the data is still there until it is written over.

Completely false! I've recovered deleted numbers, photos, files etc many time. Undeleter Pro is my goto app for this. It's not free, but well worth it. Give it a shot.

What programs are safe to remove?

Hey guys,
I permarooted my phone yesterday, and got rid of amazon mp3 via titanium back up. There's so much more I want to get rid of, but I don't want to delete something essential to the ROM resulting in force closures forever.
I wouldn't mind so much if I was using some sort of recovery with the complete ROM zip in my SD card.
Back to the point, what can we safely delete?
just back up the apps before you uninstall them, then if you have any issues you can just put it back
I found out the hard way, titanium does not backup system apps.

I thought TB did in fact backup system apps. Maybe when I did it with TB it wasn't really backing them up, but it gave me the option to do it so I did. Figured I would back up the system apps to the ROM in case it was somewhat difficult to un-root if needed.
TB backs up only system data, not the apps themselves.

But it can restore the apps from the backed up data, or am I totally not getting what the batch file for the system app is for?
I deleted everything I didn't want.. No issues

For me, it backed them up and I did see the compressed files. Upon further examination, the compressed files were empty.
What someone else said is true, it does backup the data but it does not backup the app yet it will delete the apps APK files from the /system/app directory. Basically, no way to restore them.
freeze an app first... make sure you get no FC or problems...
then delete it

TB can backup only system app data, that is data from the apps built into the ROM. It does however back up both user apps themselves (elective apps you download) in addition to their data.

I think he just wants to know which apps everyone removed to avoid any issues a head a time.... like a list of what you removed if your not having any issues whats so ever...
I havent got a OTA yet so I cant remove anything either way but if your still waiting to get confirmation on whats def safe to remove Ill let you know when I do it
^^ Great, thanks. There are so many threads and questions about bloatware, methods of removing said bloatware, and which ones are safe to remove.
A running list would be great, and I suggest that additional posts be more specific to assist the more timid amongst us. Thanks.
Could someone be kindly enough to explain what is this permarooted thing for? I did a search and there's guide on how to do permaroot only. and yes I r a nub, my first android. :X
can someone compile a list of safe things to remove?
Please post questions in Q&A section.
I took out a few things yesterday and found out two important things:
1) Even after removing Facebook for Mytouch you cannot add a Facebook sync account using the market Facebook app.
2) Titanium will not restore apps like Peep or Facebook for Mytouch. It lists it as backed up, but there is no option to restore. ('restore all apps and system data' yielded the same results)
There was an alternate FB app out there for a while that fixed the sync issue, but for myself I just reverted to my nandroid backup.
However, aside from the issue above, I experienced no issues on the phone after removing:
Facebook for Mytouch
Peep
News sync
News
Asphalt, RB, etc
I think I removed a few others but don't want to guess at names and spread misinformation.
May I suggest someone compile a list and create a stickie topic for it?

^^ Yeah, well Titanium cannot backup system apps, and therefore, cannot restore them! It only backs up and restores their data.
@Hinouchi
Rooting is the process of, basically, gaining full access to make changes to your phone.
Permarooting is a term used specifically relating to the G2 and Mytouch, which were "designed" to revert changes such as rooting after the phone is rebooted. Permaroot is a process by which you bypass this manufacturer "safety feature" and obtain *perma*nent *root* access.
I suspect you may find a better explanation on Wikipedia, but that's the gist of it.
EDIT: No worries on the content of your question, we're all "n00bs" at something

@floepie
So it would seem! Though I don't recall ever seeing that in what documentation there is for the app.
I'll look again and email the dev if I can't find anything.
There are certainly other ways to backup/restore those apps, but the capability to do so in Ti would be some kind of awesomesauce

Lost Titanium Backup Backups...

I accidentally erased android off my nexus, but was able to reinstall it. But, in doing so, I had to erase my internal storage on the device and wiped all my titanium backup backups. Is there ANY way to get them back? Google reisntalled all my apps but all their data is lost! Please help! Thanks!

In the future, you can also set TiB to copy your backups to Dropbox.

I had something similar happen. TB updated & when I relaunched all backups were gone. I'm set to upload to Dropbox but have never done it. Any 411 on how to do that? Thx

Hi Trickster,
Thx for the reply. I've got the saving to Dropbox happening, its restoring FROM Dropbox that I've never done before. Will it populate the TB Backup folder on the int memory of my Samsung S3 for me to then perform the "restore" manually or will it actually perform a "restore" of the phone? Thx

Hi,
found what I needed at the TB website:
"How can I restore my backups from Dropbox / Box.net / Google Drive if my SD card failed or my phone got stolen ?
http://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/tit...ore-backups-dropbox-if-sd-card-fail-or-stolen
Now to try and implement!
Hope this helps others.
Buy a Rasberry Pi, stick Rasbian on it, turn it into a NAS, connect a USB harddrive to it and backup everything. Install Truecrypt to it to make it secure.
I use rsync over ssh from my desktop to my NAS and copy any Titanium backups from Android to the NAS. Critical files I also copy to a 2nd NAS I keep in another place. The NAS also is for streaming media to help with the limited internal storage, you can mount to give you a 1TB Tablet.
I personally now don't trust Google's backup/restore, it doesn't do a 100% perfect copy and seems to carry over some performance-limiting settings when you use it to restore after a fresh install.

HELP! Pictures/Vids deleted!!! how to restore?

A friend took a picture and decided to try and delete it. When he accessed the gallery app where the folders are shown (the pic he took was the thumbnail of the folder), he deleted the whole folder. Is there any way to retrieve deleted photos? I tried a google search but all of the programs i found such as Dr. Fone etc all require me to purchase the software itself. Is there any way i can retrieve these photos? My Samsung device is not rooted and i haven't ever used the google+ apps and so when i access my gmails etc the photos aren't in the bin. I had about 300+ very important photos

No it's impossible unless you are still running Android 4.2.2.
Every information about recovering files is outdated and cannot be used anymore.

Wow that sucks. Is there no way i can restore these pics and vids?
Edit: YAY i recovered the pictures by using the google play app "Diskdigger photo recover" app it's the only thing that worked after trying countless of countless of programs on my computer. Anyways the videos that have been recovered have turned into image files. Is there any way to convert them back to the videos they once were?

Recover deleted files on Nexus 6p?

So I have no idea what happened today. I was trying to restore an older data file and some reason it seems that TWRP somehow deleted everything on my internal storage.
So I had to reinstall a stock image, then reinstalled Pure Nexus.
I lost all my Titanium backup files and pictures. Not super concerned about the pics as I had most backed up already.
Just wondering if there is any app out there or a PC app that might be able to recover my Titanium Backup files? Just don't want to lose some progress I had on some games.

many of those apps seem worthless or only for photos. It would actually be nice if I could recover my last TWRP backup. I made one this morning and had a few others saved that were consisting of my BOOT SYSTEM and DATA. Seems like that is hopeless though

How do I recover lost photos in samsung galaxy a9?

Hi,
My daughter have samsung galaxy a9. She acidentally deleted all her gallery including about 6000 photos and films
How can she recover it?
I tried following the thread:
"Recover Accidentally Deleted Files, Photos, Music after Rom Install by bullriders" with some help, however, the program does not recognize any files which are not included in a driver. (ie, "phone" is not "driver C, D... " etc)
What can I do?
Thanks,
Stamstam
