A question...
what i've to do to install gb (WB expecificly), but erasing everything in the sd, i mean i just want to have the folders and files from this rom only.
does Xrecovery delete everything and keep the essential or i've to delete something else ?
thanks
ps: sorry for my english...
you don't want to delete everything on the sdcard, you may want to delete the android folder, data folder and lost.dir folder though to eliminate chances of problems with some apps.
Hi guys,
due problems with my power button I got an exchange phone from Google.
Now i want to move ALL Data from my old phone to my new phone.
System part should be no problem:
Complete Backup with TWRP on my old phone and restore it on my new phone.
But what is the best way to move the data from my internal storage?
I think, if I simple copy it maybe with windows explorer I get problems with file rights on my new phone?
I tried with "Nexus Root Toolkit", but there I've problems with backing up my Internal Storage (I've installed CM11-M9).
Is there another way to transfer the data from the interal storage to my new phone?
Thanks for your help,

First, in twrp, do not backup and restore the efs partition. If you restore it to your new phone it will permanently Bork it.
I'd simply copy your data to the pc and then restore it from there. You should not have a file rights issue.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
OK, in twrp I've only the options: Boot, System, Data and Cache.
So I think twrp will not do a backup of the efs-partition?
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..

Hello, i am gonna answer your questions one by one
1. by apps positions if you mean the apps on the screens of the android then they are gonna moved after format, even after restore your backup. second you are gonna need titanium backup from playstore. Since you have root download lucky patcher from your browser or from your pc and patch the titanium backup you just downloaded from PlayStore .. and then select backup your apps, i suggest you to backup the on a usb with the adapter from the box of your phone , or on a sd card, be carefull do not wipe them . the contacts you can go to the Contacts apps and on the settings back them up to your Sd Card or to your Usb Otg.. Unless if you have them moved on your Sim Card then no need to backup them
..
Your videos and your other personal data move them all from the internal storage to your Usb or to Sd card too ..
2. you dont need to unroot your device to update your device, which methods are you gonna use to upgrade your phone? firmware from odin ? You are gonna need to root your device after the update then .
3. if you use titanium backup then you are gonna find the restore option on the app . your personal data from your usb or sd you are need to move them on your internal storage , and restore the contacts.
Get titanium, backup needed apps on external sd. Instal twrp through odin, insall custom rom like alexega or sac (wipe system and data before or some roms already offer this options).
Later restore backups of needed apps through titanium. All files on sd card/s will remain after new rom installation (if you are unsure backup your media files to computer), just dont wipe media/internal sd. Forget about restoring full backup, if you have a lot of rubbish code flowing around you need get rid of it, just back up apps with data that are important. That's how you should do it.
Ps: Ideally everyone should format data once 3 months and restore backups of needed apps later, it's the only way to keep it in excellent working condition

Thank you so much !!
Also while we are at it!
What's the difference between wipe and format
So I got the oem lock thing and i have to wait 7 days etc
So when I get the poem unlock I'll be rooting my device
But to install tarp and magisk I have to "wipe" data
What exactly will be wiped?
My pictures and videos or apps or what exactly so I know before rooting

It's same but it very differnt. it's confusing. Format data in this case applies to full data wipe. While if you go to twrp wipe menu and choose to wipe data, it won't touch media (folder with all user files) folder in data. While format will erase all patrition and reformat it.
All will be deleted, since it's full data wipe with media. Just data wipe without media deletes just apps. You won't need to install magisk or su separately if you install custom rom like i mentioned.

Well I ended up installing the official rom for oreo I'm waiting for oem unlock soon, I wanna install twrp and root using magisk, but one of the requirement is to "wipe" in this case it's just the apps? I'm gonna backup just in case anyway! But I want to make sure
All will be deleted no reason to make surerer. I hope you understood titanium part, although i recommend it only if you have important apps, with data that i use (i have only a few), otherwise throw them out.
Then after you installl, you can make full backup of data through twrp. I usually do it after a week i installed rom i choose, and if i install a lot of apps i no longer need, and overall android gets slower, i just restore this back up and always have os that is 1 week old without any setting up to do. After just a couple of apps i restore recent data to them with titanium. If you had this with phone it becomes problematic as you said, i suggest you to remember how to do it.

If it can be done disk digger is the app to use
But as time goes on the chance the files that where marked for deletion have already been overwritten.
But if any can recover this can
Is it possible to recover data after wipe data..? I have have softwares for data recovery but i need information whether it can be possible..

If those dates sectors have been overwritten then no. It all comes down to which sectors have been overwritten
So basically what u r saying is if i wipe data to install twrp i still can recover the data..

Possible. The data was deleted wasn't actually deleted. But only marked for deletion. So as you as new data it will follow a write scheme normally way it works on android is say a disk it will work from front to back and then start back at the beginning. To minimize write cycles so to prolong ssd type memory the deleted data isn't deleted until the next write cycles come around to those disk sectors. Which user data is in a different location. But every day that goes by you risk losing more and more
