Sometimes when I connect my Lenovo a6000 plus to pc and delete a file the pc says not responding and i remove the cable ony to find that all the data on my internal and external storage to be gone. This results in my valued data to be lost. Is it a virus problem with my pc or any glitch in my phone...
Brother, I was facing the same problem, I lost my data 4 or 5 times on different smartphones. I think its a virus. Best option is to format your PC. You can recover your internal storage data, for this you need to root your device and use any smartphone data recovery software. External storage data can be recovered without rooting.

I have a omnia 2 and have lost my 16GB internal storage and have tried everything to get it back. Tried nustorage manager and it dose not see the MMC card, tried connecting it as mass storage just so i can format it, tried connecting it to unbunto to see if i can get it to recover it and have no luck. In windows it detects the drive but fails to start it so i can format it or anything.
Is there any chance i can repair the phone without sending it in?
I just woke up one morning tried to access my music s2pwas taking it time to load and knowing the crappy omnia i just rebooted thinking the phone froze and lost the storage.
moved to the right forum, please post in the correct forums.
Hey guys,
just used my phone , while running Android from MicroSD , as a storage, beeing connected to my PC via USB.
After transfering some files i just disconnected the cable from my phone, without having used the windows function of safely removing the card.
Now I ask myself whether this matters or if this is no problem at all.
It would be swell if you could help me!

It`s not THAT important, but as with any peripheral device, it is best to eject it manually from your PC before physically disconnecting it. Otherwise, data corruption might occur and sometimes you might not be able to correctly read the SD card on your device.
I once did this by mistake after copying 122 .apk files to my SD card via USB. I basically lost everything, as they were all corrupted. Oh well, had to learn it the hard way, it seems. At least I`m aware of it now.
hello, I accidentally deleted the /sdcard folder and now it appears that i've lost all my data. So, i've deleted the folder by mistake from windows explorer and the tablet "auto created" a new one and none of my data shows up. I've tried about a dozen recovery programs but none will recognize my tablet. How can I make it show in Windows 7 like a Removable Device and not like a Portable Media Player. I kown it's more of a windows question but maybe someone else here made the stupid mistake i did and kowns how to slove my problem or please send me to a forum were I can get some help.
ps: I kown not to write anything on the tablet's storage until I solve this.
ps2: i don't actually have a sd card, all my data is on the internal memory.
Thank you!

Had some free time lately and did some research and I found out that the reason I can’t access the internal storage through software like recuva or other data recovery sw, it is because Honeycomb uses MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) instead of UMS (USB Mass Storage), like android did until honeycomb and data recovery software doesn’t work on MTP, or at least none of the ones I’ve tried, and I’ve tried a few. So, I decided to change the thread question to: Can the Acer a500 support any other Android OS released except honeycomb or ICS (I read it uses MTP also)? and: Can the internal storage be accessed by a recovery software on Linux or any kind of OS? plus: Did anyone manage to recover data from internal storage through any method?
Ps: I don’t need a full working rom, just the touch screen or a mouse so I can mount the internal storage.
Ps2: I would have tried it myself, but I don’t have the knowledge(all I could think about was to download the rom from other tablets that run on 2.3) or the time to joggle with roms on my acer so if any of you developers out there could help me I would be in great debt to you.
Have you tried these apps? (seems you need root though)
I don't know if they will work, but just trying to help you out (I too have deleted my internal memory, but it always happened while ROM flashing... forgot to back up my files first).

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hexamob.hexamobrecoverylite
(^ the free and possibly not as good version of the one above it)
Also, on the W7 computer, have you tried Recuva?
Again, not sure if it will work, but I have used it for memory cards, flash drives, etc and it worked really well.
I think the biggest challenge though would be the way that the computer reads the tablet. It doesn't appear like a normal external USB device.
So, I think that an app will be your best bet. I think too that Android keeps apps*, OS*, and user data (your pics, movies, documents, etc) on separate partitions, so installing an app shouldn't overwrite any of your old stuff. I am only 90% sure of that though. :/
*It may actually be apps + OS
Were you rooted??? Did you make a nandroid backup??? If you have a nandroid back up you can restore just the data partition from recovery and you will be current as of your last backup. Another major reason to root your device.

This is untested, but it you install

on your tablet then try to access your files using your recovery program on your pc. If you have questions about samba server look here.

My thoughts were that Samba acts as a server and would be used with wifi to show as local network share on your pc. Then to use a program to recovery your files. I think that idea is not possible after further checks. Seems none of my recovery apps will recover from network drive. Some will save to Network drive though, but that doesnt help you.
One of the apps from the market spexwood suggested may be your only hope.
I would suggest getting an sdcard and save your photos and videos on it.. much easier to recover if erased.

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 All,
I have an S5 SM-G900P w/6.0.1
I keep my photos on my SDCard. Recently after taking some lengthy vids, I ran out of space and it shifted over to local storage.
I backed up both external and internal DCIM/camera folders to my local machine. Then copied that backup to another backup drive.
I normally parse through the pics to make sure everything is ok before I delete the stuff from my phone, but this last batch was too big to do that, so I only skimmed through.
After thinking the copies were successful, I went ahead and deleted the pictures from my phone. I deleted via Windows 10 while looking at the folders via usb connection.
Shortly after I discovered that any of the files that were on internal storage (and some on the SD Card) were corrupted during the transfer. Their file size was inflated to approx 5.2GB each (normally around 1500KB).
I was able to quickly recover any of the corrupted files on the SD card using Piriform's Recuva. (maker of cCleaner). I mounted the SDcard directly to the PC and didn't use the phone.
However, Recuva won't browse the phones internal storage when connected via USB. Their FAQ says it can only browse and recover from physically attached drives. (no mapped drives, which I tried by using a webserv)
I tried several recovery apps on my phone itself. Disk Digger, Dumpster, etc. They didn't find anything.
AFAIK, I can't mount the internal storage on the phone as a physical drive like we used to be able to do on older phones.
At this point, I'm not sure what else I can do. It's been a day now, so the phone might have already written over the space anyway. But I'm curious if there isn't any other ways to recover those files. I hate losing pics of my kids.

Can I assume, seeing that you used "Recuva" that you are running Microsoft on your PC???
If that be the case.... will take a little time , and a good size USB Stick. and hopefully, you have a port left for USB3.0 for the S5..
That said, you could set up Ubuntu on a USB Stick (making sure when doing so, you use the whole card, so changes can be made)
Then making sure your PC can boot from a USB Stick, Power that down, Restart PC, Booting into Ubuntu. then plug in phone. Mount the it, and you should be able to find everything you are missing. (that said, I do hope you were using the Stock Camera App, and mot something else.... if so, the files, might be bad from the start, I hope this is not the case).
hope this may help you
