Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to recover some text messages on my S5? I tried to root the phone a bunch of times unsuccessfully before finding out that Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 can't be rooted. I tried a couple of recovery software options (i.e. Mobikin Dr) but none of them work effectively as the phone hasn't been rooted. I know that I can bump down to Lollipop and then root and try to recover them but I am worried that would further eradicate chances of getting the texts recovered as I'd have to wipe the phone to reinstall Lollipop.
Can anyone in the know please advise what my best options are?
Thank you
they are stored in the /data partition. you will need a special no-wipe odin package to downgrade to lollipop, and root then take off the files. The problem: I think that MIGHT put you in a bootloop without factory resetting - which would wipe your SMS messages.
Maybe this app could be of some importance?

That's an app for making and restoring messages. What he needs is a recovery app or program. I've used Disk Digger and it has done great....even after I've "wiped" my system, it dug deep and got what I needed....
Can I recover data from my own encrypted s5 Verizon phone (not rooted) w/password?
My s5 Verizon phone could not boot well recently so today I intended to clear system cache. I hold power + volume up+home buttons, maybe somehow it entered into download mode, so it warned me that install a custom os is risky and asked me to volume up to continue, or down to cancel(restart). I volumed down and now it rebooted, but all of sudden, my data is gone! It did not ask me for screen pin/password either as previously my phone was encrypted. (Or did I held power+volumn down to factory reset the phone? But I did not get a warning for that.
This factory reset was a surprise to me as I was not warned or told that they will wipe out the data.
Anyhow, my data is gone. Now I wanted to get it back.
Can I recover data from my own encrypted s5 Verizon phone (not rooted) w/password?
I know It's not difficult if it was not encrypted, as many third party tools can recover most of the data if the phone was not used much after reset.
I am wondering if anyone has any experience recovering data for an *encrypted* phone (with right encryption password though). Which tool can do that by prompting you the password for the encrypted data?
Here is the link regarding recovering data from factory reset: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143188 However, I did not find a solution: what if the phone was encrypted and you do have the correct encryption password (if not I know it's almost impossible)?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Any thoughts, suggestions?
My phone was encrypted but not rooted. I have the encryption password. Any chance to get the data back from the phone?
I powered down my phone now and will see how to proceed after I get experts opinion on this...
My question basically is, can I recover data from an encrypted phone after factory reset if I have the encryption password? Anyone can help?
Thank you guys in advance.
Anyone？
I understand this is difficult, but I wanted to try before I give up.
I need experts here to shed some lights: is it still possible to recover the data from my encrypted phone after accidental factory reset, as I still have the screen PIN?
I know how to recover the data if the phone was not encrypted/not factory reset. I also somehow know how to decrypt the data inside the encrypted phone, but no way so far do I know if we can recover the deleted data from the encrypted phone if the files were deleted or the phone was factory reset, provided I still have the screen lock pin.
What I have done so far:
I rooted my sm-n900v
I also created a raw image in my pc using dd command
Next questions are,
where can I find the crypt footer (which partition), and how can I decrypt the deleted data after the factory reset?
Can I recover the deleted data from the encrypted phone first, but it looks like no tools can do that. All data recover tools like Recuva can only recover unencrrypted data.
Or should I first find the cryptor footer, figure out encryption key, but where should I find the deleted files first to decrypt from the encrypted phone?
I just came to realize what I was got into... This is the most difficult scenario to decrpt the deleted files from an encrypted phone. I do want to recover some very important files from the phone's internal/encrypted storage, regardless how stupid I look not backing up those very important data.
But if experts here say I am doing almost impossible thing... I will stop.
Thank you all for your attention.

BTW, my s5 ran Android 4.4 before, later upgraded to Android 5.0, a while ago before I recently accidentally factory reset. I just rooted it days ago after accidental factory reset.
...... If the above info will make a difference in solving my issues below.
Thank you.

From what I have read, the device encryption key is tied to the device Serial Number or Burned-In-ROM-Key. Meaning when you encrypt your device data, it encrypts the password in much the same way the device encrypts its "Verity Hash".
So from what I've gathered it is possible to do a factory data reset, encrypt your empty device using the same password as before, decrypt the empty device, and during that encryption/decryption phase:
Pull out the common denominator between the encrypted data you want to recover and the encrypted empty device, thus enabling you to derive the decryption key used for the data you'd like to recover.
Hi everyone,
So recently my mom updated her Redmi Note LTE and since then it's been softbricked and stuck in a boot loop. The kicker is, aside from photos, the phone is not backed up in terms of settings and notes and data. My mom wants to keep this data before I reset or anything because there are actually a bunch of important things she wants to keep.
I'm wondering now if there's any way to install a recovery or access the phone's internal storage to pull backups without erasing anything just yet. I can still launch into Fastboot and MIUI Recovery if that helps.
I would also like to point out that at the current time I am not 100% sure if USB debugging was ever enabled prior to soft brick, as I am also unable to access that now :/
Thanks in advance for any help given!
Hi, I have the same pb here. I have tried this but I don't know if I have a MTK or other processor phone (Qualcom ?). Maybe if I hd a fastboot ROM, but I have a .zip...
Hi ,
I have a Oneplus 5 128GB mobile which got some encryption error after the OS up-gradation and factory reset is done. I am trying to recover the data through third party software. I need help in rooting my device so that i can perform the recovery process.
Any other process to recover the data ?
After the reset i haven't used the mobile since the overwriting may happen . I need guidance to root my mobile and recover the lost data. Kindly assist me in this.
There are over 100 rooting guides on xda, search the oneplus forums for the relevant guide for your device.
Hello XDA community,
Im a noobie when it comes to rooting, thats why i need help...
I deleted some files that i want to recover on my Samsung S7 Edge 2-3 years ago, this device has Android 7.0. (Never updated)
There is a lot of apps such as Disk Digger that offer you to recover every single file but the device must be rooted to access 100% on the internal memory.
Right now my Samsung S7 Edge is not rooted but i need to root to recover this files, so my question is, there is anyway of rooting without factory reset, or there is anyway of doing a fully backup of the internal memory of my device without touching the partitions so then i can try recovering my files later with this apps?
I hope someone can help me...
Regards
