Thanks, I want to recover files from my S6 Edge+ mainly a MP4 video shot from the standard camera app.
Dont want to root but if need be I will. What root to use?
Im a Java developer and have a good understanding of Android. Video was made then it was deleted then several other photos were deleted. I then switched the phone off and have only started it again to try to install PingPong Root. There is all the normal Instagrams and FB apps on my phone that write to disk etc.. Phone was run for several minutes only after deleting files.
How recoverable could these files be?
Willing to buy an app to recover but I really think that without root none of these apps could work so well?

I'm wondering if there's any way of deleting some of the factory apps without having my phone rooted? I can't get the root to work so just deleting the apps I don't want would be ok instead.

No not really...You need root unfortunately.
What do you mean you can't get root to work? What's the problem you have encountering?

Actually scratch that. After 24hrs I've finally figured out how to root it. Maybe I should have stuck to my Nokia 1100. These smartphones are all 'Whiteman magic' to me

The only way to get rid of the factory apps is to use RootExplorer and delete the .apk of apps you want remove...but Rootexplorer want root!!
Make root is not complicated and I think that it is very useful and practical to run many apps which want root permission, such as rootexplorer (best file explorer ever!), any backup program annd others useful apps
Moreover, remove factory application which we never use helps to improve battery life, have much memory to run own apps, and a more reactive device
I've read about changing the phone's CSC as a possible solution. Can anyone more experienced comment about that?
Got a galaxy note 3 and a note 10.1 2014 edition. both are not rooted.
I would like to transfer my progress in Injustice - Gods among us from my tablet to the phone.
Been looking online and in other threads here and the only option I saw is TI backup, which is for rooted devices.
I've checked the iOS setup, and they have a save file *.bin that they can use iFunbox to extract.
Is there no save file on Android? where is it?
Thanks in advance

Most of them in root/data/data. So you need root access as well. Maybe using adb you can pull it

ADB doesn't require ROOT?

Basically root not needed but some people say it depends on what you're doing. Perhaps if you're to copy a root file no root is needed but if you're trying to delete maybe root is needed(even so with correct permission still no root required)
But i don't know adb so not sure.
Try Helium, but you will need Helium (carbon) for pc also. You need to connect ur phone to pc, start carbon on pc and phone to enable it for backup or restore. Copy the backup file over Will do.

Ok, tried Helium but it didn't work.
In addition I have something to say about the Samsung service as a whole.
I tried to find the Samsung android USB drivers on the Samsung website but it's impossible to get anything useful out of it.
Eventually I found the most updated drivers on these forums.
After that I contacted Samsung online chat support to receive assistance on backing up in-app data.
Turns out, there's no way to do it with anything Samsung offers (WHICH IS ABSURD).
Such a basic functionality and it's not available through any Samsung app or feature.
The only thing the support did was to comfort me regarding this issue and telling me there's no way to do it unless I use a 3rd party app, which they cannot recommend.
I have never had such ****ty service from such a big company. It started with the update and it's just going downhill ever since.
Unbelievable.
TL DNR: Helium worked perfectly for me with my Galaxy S4 and my new Galaxy S7, both of these devices are non-rooted and I used the free version of Helium. Continue reading for a walkthrough of what worked for me and will hopefully work for you.
I just got a Galaxy S7 (I upgraded from a Galaxy S4) and I wanted to keep my progress from all of my games so I wouldn't have to start from square one. All I had to do was download Helium on both of my phones and the desktop program. Then I connected my S4 to my desktop using a usb cable, opened Helium and followed the on screen instructions to backup whichever apps I chose. After that I set my S4 to connect via MTP and opened my phone on my desktop. The file path should look like this My Computer\Your_Phones_Name\Phone\carbon (carbon is the folder where Helium saves the app data that you chose to backup). Copy all the app folders you want, then follow pretty much the same steps for connecting your new device to your desktop and paste the folders from your old device in your new device's carbon folder. Once you've done that, on your new device open Helium and go to Restore And Sync, Internal Storage, select your apps to restore, and then finally enjoy your progress that you deserve!
A much much easier solution is to make use of the cloud backup feature in the game.
Just make a WBID account in-game and all your progress will be backed up. If you reinstall the game on the same device or another, just make sure you sign in with your WBID and a prompt with Superman will appear giving you the option to restore your progress.
DO NOT RESTORE USING THE CLOUD BUTTON AT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER IN THE MAIN MENU as Google Play Games cloud restore is broken in Injustice and you'll lose your progress!!!
I find this method alot easier than fiddling with system files =)

How to get adb to do that please? I'm new to this stuff. I tried adb root but it says "adbd cannot run as root in production builds" I'm using linux if that helps. Device I'm trying to extract from is non-rooted OnePlus 3T.
So in the internal storage (NOT ROOT), you first need to know the first company maker of the app & then the first name of the app (example : tiktok would be somthing.musically) because of the package name & how it updates & stuff.
Now when you go to the Android Folder, you see data, this is where (most) files are saved for progress & is usually in here where data gets wiped by settings for apps, scroll down for your app, click on it & then...
find a way to put all those files into your other device.
(this is also how some people cheat their way through games like subway surfers unless they're a bit complicated for most users lol)
hi guys.
I have this problem where each time i write/draw on a picture immediately after taking the shot, the picture unable to save my drawing/notes on that picture. instead, it creates a copy of the picture inside the gallery.
if anyone have the apk of the s-pen/s-note module, if u dont mind could u share the apk here?
or is there anyone has been experiencing same problem, how to solve it?
for info, im now on Lolipop 5.0, rooted.
thanks in advance
seriously no single reply from yesterday? :crying::crying::crying:
this may caused by apps with root access, there are about 4 apps as a suffixes for the main s-note app and they are it's features. and maybe one of them are missing or deleted by root apps. i recommend to reflash stock firmware and then install root. be careful when using root and grant access for apps.

oo. i guess so because i deleted some of what they call "suspected bloatwares" after rooting.
so do u think, if i reset factory setting will restore back the s-note features?

no, they wouldn't be restored in factory mode because they are permanently deleted. and in addition you will lose your data.
Hello guys,
I'm a bit out of the Android world since some years, I got my new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos and I love it.
I installed a Stock ROM using Odin and rooted it with CF-Auto and I have root access now.
However, it seems like I am unable to convert User Apps to System Apps. I tried it with apps such as Titanium Backup and others. As an example of Titanium Backup, it just "hangs" at the "Processing" step and that's it, force killing Titanium Backup doesn't help. The app that should be converted just disappears ("uninstalls") and thats it. I found about S-ON/S-OFF but believe it applies only to HTC phones, doesn't it?
I tried many other applications that claim to convert User Apps to System Apps, without success. Either the app just disappears like with Titanium Backup, or the tool to convert doesn't even work claiming "you're not rooted", even though the phone is certainly rooted.
I tried to do it manually with a root explorer, moving the folder from /data/app/ to /system/app/, the folder is moved, permissions are set, but it didn't work either, the app just doesn't show up.
Does anyone know what I missed? I tried to find a solution by Googling 2 days and trying multiple ways, unfortunately without luck.
Thanks everyone who has any hint to that!
Cheers!
I'm in the same page as you I have been trying to move apps to the system but without luck the reason why I want to do it is because none of the apps that I usually use with root work I'm using a galaxy s7 edge g935FD.
The reason why you can not do that is because samsung uses se for android and on top of that we have this knox
If you can change the selinux from enforcing to passive you Shuld be able to do what you want
I have not found a way to do that
Any news on this?
Ive purchased the full version of No Bloat, trying to get things more manageable on my device.
There are things that are not removing, despite me telling them to.
in system/app/flipboarddebriefing/arm/<somefilename>.odex
this is a reminant of an app i have already removed...so i wanted to fully delete it... but it wont delete!! Root browser says it deleted, for a quick second... but the damn thing stays there.
i *am* rooted, i *have* removed system apps with other apps (at first uninstall master, but since ive discovered that wont recover properly on my device, im using nobloat now).
Why if i have root, and am using a root based browser, are things NOT removing as though i am not rooted??!? I downloaded root checker today, and yes i am in fact rooted successfully.... so what gives? i DONT understand this, not one bit.
Im on rooted but stock samsung galaxy s5 neo, with twrp recovery installed, and a full nandroid backup made. successfully.
I dont understand why some root features are going smooth while others are almost like in high school when deep freeze was installed on the library computers, where no matter what you did, next reset (or in my case, not even a reboot required!) things were exactly as they were *before* you messed wth them, things unchanged.
why is this happening to me?? i never did enable knox so it cant possibly be that... can it??
ETA i have tried going in through the file explorer in twrp... but even in there i cant access the system folder at all, let alone delete things. A few days ago, some things in another folder werent deleting, so i went into twrp and ultimately deleted them, and those did stay deleted.
I just plain dont understand. s2 = root = do whatever the heck you want. s5=root=well remove some apps for you but its remains will stay on your system, for-evvvv-errr.
is there some sort of build in deep freeze type app that i can go in and get rid of (some how, if it will let me, frig).
Can anyone help me with this? Still not working properly...

The reason why it keeps coming back is becoz some of the apps are PRELOADED by default and to get rid of them for good you need to go to the root of those apps.
Use any root explorer app
1. Check /preload/ folder..make sure you delete the apps there as well
2. Check /System/CSC/ and look for any /System/app/ and /System/priv-app/ and do the same as above.
Hmm... I'll give it a look, but I even had problems with deleting data from a user app in the same manner...
Eta, I have nothing in my preload folder at all.. At least not that root browser is seeing.
Tried Flipboard deleting the odex file again, still not working.
Any other suggestions?

Which root/file explorer are you using?
EDIT: Ok I see you said Root browser.
Try another file explorer like ES file explorer
