Hello. After from some mistake, I formatted my internal storage via twrp. Now I want to recover the data which I had. The bad is that the device is connected to pc as MTP & NOT as Mass Storage so that to use some data recovery to get the lost data. I tried MTPdrive which is to convert the mtp to mass storage but not any result. I tried Mobisaver (Easeus) which is for recovering data from internal drive but appears the message error that can't get the root previlidges even if my mobile is recognised as rooted. Also I used the dr fone recovery but for similar reason with above it can't scann deep my device. The only solution which I have found but it is difficult to try it because it needs unix commands so that to get the internal storage as raw image & after to convert the raw to vhd & after to mount it as drive so that to been scanned via data recovery like recuva which is given in here : https://howtorecover.me/data-recovery-internal-storage-android-phone-guide#raw or similar : https://roubert.name/joakim/androidfilerecovery/
The bad is that in these methods the unix commands are unclear & the most times you will get some error in the running of commands or the instructions will be unclear. Also I tried Partitions backup (apk) which can dump the internal as raw but althought has the option to save the dump image to external storage, it saves only to internal which is irrational because my internal storage is 64 Gb & can't be saved all this as img file to my internal due to low capacity & for some unknown reason the external storage save can not be selected. Does it exist some way to get the lost data back of internal storage or to connect my Mi A1 as mass storage or to dump my internal storage as raw ? Thanks.

Anyway, how to dump my entire internal storage as raw file ?
I followed this method and I was able to successfully dump my phone internal storage data into raw. But please be aware that successful recovery of your data from the dump file is not quaranteed.
Please read carefully the instructions and always make a backup before u proceed.

In the beginning writes "This method does not seem to work on newer phones that apply TRIM or some other type of partition clearing implementation. If anyone has recovered their data on a device newer than Android 4.3 please pm me and let me know." Does it mean that it is for older mobiles or you did it for Mi A1 with android 8.1 ?

can anyone help me please i need to retrieve msgstore.db.crypt7 from my internal memory i have rooted my phone and have omega custom rom.i accidentally deleted the whole folder using es file explorer what's app only retrieves the message back 7 days ago and i need to go back further more,i have tried undelete and digger disk both dont find the internal memory i have tried several applications but wont find my phone i have enabled usb debug mode still wont find my phone i have heard recuva works but sgs5 doesnt have usb mass storage but on my pc windows 7 it shows portable device so i can see my internal and external but not through programs can anyone help me please?
bump any help please?
If you did the smart thing i.e. turned your phone off immediately after you deleted the file, you should be able to recover it. But if you kept mucking around (in addition to not having a backup of your phone), all bets are off. You may well have overwritten the database if you continued to use the phone.
Your best bet would be to copy the area of phone memory where the database is or was. That both preserves a copy of what is recoverable and lets you avail yourself of the large number of PC based data recovery programs available.
The following terminal (CLI) commands should image (make an exact copy) of the /data and /system partitions to your external SD card. Then use a PC based data recovery program to recover the deleted file. Check these commands for typos before executing them. A typo could make a real mess of your phone's file system.
$ su
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p25 of=/extSdCard/data.img
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 of=/extSdCard/system.img

Thanks i've tried every recovery software for android but it's not detecting any of the internal memory as sgs5 does not have usb mass storage i have enabled usb debug settings i have the samsung usb drivers but it shows up on my windows 7 as a portable device.
do you recommend any decent software or tutorial's which might help me recover it.
Thanks for your help!

You didn't follow any part of what I suggested, so it's a mystery why you quoted my post. I specifically advocated using PC based data recovery software, not an android app. And at no time would you need your S5 to be in MSC (mass storage) mode.
Use the posted commands to copy your memory contents to a SD card, plug the SD card into a PC and then use a PC based data recovery app. The commands can be entered from a terminal emulator app, TWRP or an ADB shell session CLI.
Good luck

Hello,
I was freeing up some space on my OP2 device as it was about 52GB Full of 54GB,
i deleted all not used and temp folders, i also found folder named sdcard and storage in same.
I opened them and both were empty, i deleted them as well and as i did that i got a error that it can not be deleted.
Then i just found that whole data on my cell is deleted, all the files and folders are wiped and those two as well.
Now i am asking that is their any way to recover my data, i.e all images, videos, pdf &docx files etc..
As this device can not be connected as a mass storage so that i can use any software on my pc to do so.
i have tried Disk Digger Pro version as well, but unfortunately no success.
Please guys please help me out to come out of this issue. All suggestions and solutions are welcome.
You can also share any paid add as i can buy it to recover my data, but i really need a helping solution.
Thanks in advance.

It's normal that all your documents, photos, messages, ets, have been deleted, as /sdcard is...your sdcard. And, well, no, I don't think there is any recovery options...
As long as your internal "sdcard" storage is not encrypted you should be able to just factory restore the phone back to full functionality. After that you should be able to connect phone as usb storage device to your PC and use standard undelete software to undelete your files, because factory restore doesn't actually format your internal storage, it only deletes the file index (FAT).

yes, but if he used the wipe function in TWRP, which use mkfs.ext4 (if I remember), do you think there is still a possibility for him to recover his data?
I'm not sure about it. But then again, I'd say that and testdisk/photorec is his last chance of restoring at least photos.
If this doesn't work, I'm afraid anything will work at all..

Sorry i guess no luck unless you see a recovery partition
I am new to the world of tech and have a (what I believe anyway) is a massive issue with my S7 Edge. I successfully rooted the phone and then for some unknown reason I used TWRP to change the file system on Internal Storage to Fat32 or Fat. Cannot say for sure. Apologies. Now, I have a phone which suggests that I am using 31GB of the 32GB on the phone yet I know that when I use TWRP to look at the size DATA only has 4GB of which there is 141MB free? The other 28GB is there but is inaccessible. I had all my photos and videos on there and they have all disappeared. One thing to note is that when I changed the file system of Internal Storage it factory reset the phone but did show me that it was 25GB space wise so I lost everything but it was trying to restore from a backup which just failed as there was not enough space I think although I did not get an error. I am unable to (proper) factory reset the phone due to multiple mount issues and also because I think it has something to do with not being able to write to the correct partitions. I am using TWRP 3.0.0-0. I go to Wipe/Advanced Wipe/ select Internal Storage, then Repair or Change File System and get the Invalid Partition Selection in red. The same happens when I select Dalvik / ART Cache. I have the latest version of ODIN. I literally have ran out of ideas and have invested in a 128GB SD Card which I will use for mass storage by using adb shell. I am hopeful there is an answer.

Was this issue ever solved?
hey guys,
might sound pretty stupid to some of you, but is it possible to make partition to the internal storage ?
I mean partitions that remain when i want to format data only on system partition.... and leave other partitions untouched
since the transfer speed is so slow, its a pain in the ass when i need to backup all data and retransfer it back to the phone...
or did i miss something essential that speeds up that process ? :cyclops:
Thanks , have a nice day
Not sure if I understood you correctly, but partitioning is not a good idea not only on this phone but also on any new android phone. You will probably end up with a hard brick.
There are some alternatives though:
1. Use twrp recovery. When you format system or data, then your files will remain intact unless you also want to format whole internal storage.
2. Transfer your files using Wi-Fi via a good file manager such as Solid explorer. For that you will need to share a folder from your computer. Then you can simply transfer the files to your computer into that folder. Much faster transfer speeds (12 megabytes/sec in my case via 5ghz router)

If there is no backup of the lost data, first stop using it in case of data overwritten. Then try a third-party data recovery software to help you Recovery Data From Internal Memory. Usually, it can help us access to data like photos, videos, music and documents on internal memory of Xiaomi phone and scan them out. Then we can preview and choose them to recover at ease.
