I didn't just flash a ROM, I flashed the factory 4.1.1 image using adb and the fastboot commands.

Then I flashed the Bugless Beast ROM over that. I've been using it for about three weeks since the 4.1.1 flash happened.

So it sounds like I'm screwed eh?

Some of those .zip files have the following in them, res, META-INF, resources.arsc, classes.dex, AndroidManifest.xml.

I've never bothered to look at what a Clockwork Mod backup had. Is that what that is?

Also there is a 485 megabyte PDF file. Random stuff pulled out of that thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
Yes surely you overwrote that data. It was the official rom that always deletes everything for security reasons, usually unofficial roms leave the sdcard untouched.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gnustomp:
You found zips of applications you installed, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wartickler:
I found a bunch of Google Maps files inside the piles of zips from my extract.

I'm glad it finally worked for you. Sorry it took so long that you may have overwritten some important stuff...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigdawgr6:
Sooo, I'm a firm believer of backing up all data but low and behold I was a little drunk flashing my wifes phone and sure enough I forgot to back up her pictures. So I went through this process and the RAW file was 28GB.... I'm like sweet! However, I can't find any of the data I'm looking for (only recovering 56MB) which should be over a year and a half of pictures. It all seems to be current content data and nothing I need. I ended up using a different version of Power Data Recovery and was able to restore lost file which equals out to 3GB which seems more like it. One folder is called $Root00029 and contains a file called 0911AAuP.PwD which 1.6GB. Another folder was called $Root00086 and contains a file called ompile-t.ime which is 1.6GB.

Would it be possible that my pictures are in there and can I restore them? i don't know what .PWD or .IME is. Also, my RAW file was over 28GB, but where the heck is the data? Would there actually be 28GB worth of data on that RAW file?

I rooted and flashed the phone with a custom recovery and ROM and the phone was on for about 2 days after.

I'm pretty desperate as a lot of our newborn twin daughters pics are on there. :(

Otherwise... thank you soooo much for this tutorial as it worked like a charm other than my actual data not being there. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wartickler:
One of those looks like the words compile and time. The other I don't know...perhaps a backup?

Did you do a deep scan with the recovery software?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus Toro that is way better than yours (see also: "Mmuzzy")
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigdawgr6:
I sure did in Recuva and two versions of Power Data Recovery. Ive used both programs in the past with positive results but absolutely nothing from the RAW backup that was created from the Nexus.

I did see maybe 2 images but most everything else was current pictures that seemed to be cached from Facebook. Following OP directions, this would have pulled data from sdcard\dcim\camera correct?

Oh and MmuzzyRom was the ROM i applied as i use it myself. I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit and performed the one click all in one to unlock and root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] decalex:
Searched through the thread but didn't see a definitive answer--

Anyone figure out a good method, factoring in the info in the OP, to destroy all recoverable data before selling a GNex? I've flashed stock a few times.. obviously deleted all info on /sdcard/ .. and currently copying full seasons of TV shows to my sdcard (lol) (to delete them after).. attempting to write over any recoverable data.

I'm used to using Recuva, but this is my first MTP only experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
I think it will be difficult, because ext4 has journaling and maybe abstraction layers

http://androidforums.com/nexus-7/602414-best-way-securely-delete-everything.html

Although filling as much as possible is a most close and easier, it's not 100% secure but better than nothing.

I think the best approach here is to encrypt the device, use always encryption, and when you are going to sell the device, reset to factory and set encryption again with a different password. Then reset to factory again. If any data is recovered, it will be encrypted and thus unable to recover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wartickler:
What an excellent method! This is surely the best way to be certain. Do you truly believe the second encrypting is so necessary? Do you think decalex has nuclear missile codes on his phone?? :o

help

I'm only getting like one or two images recovered the rest are just thumbnails?

I want to recover files that I hid using Hide It Pro

hxxps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartanuj.hideitpro

hxxp://hideitpro.com/blog/how-to-recover-deleted-files-on-your-phone/

My accident was that I deleted the encrypted files that it keeps the files as.

I got the file mounted and everything but either it's not showing me the encrypted files because Recuva can't see them or something?? Or the tablet didn't give me the full drive or it's already been overwritten (don't know how it could be overwritten so fast). I'm trying other programs but no luck so far. The majority of what Recuva found was thumbnails of the files I want and loads of spam thumbnails from the default widgets and web browser cache? It's not a case of using Reverse Google Image Search on these icons because it's original private data I'm wanting to recover.

I also tried using the app "Undelete" as well but it says it won't work because it's not a FAT file system??

I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with Android 4.0.4 which only has MTP and PTP transfer protocols and ADB support.

Please help I've lost important files, they were so important I had to hide them in case I lost the files while out. And it's quite urgent because I need use the tablet and that could mean I could lose files? I'm trying not to download anything but the hard disk is always being used.

I rooted my tablet to do this so I hope the reboot didn't cause the files to be lost somehow... but then how come one or two whole images were recovered? May be these are duplicates I deleted before I put them in Hide It Pro and still in the original form were on the drive still, but deleted. Idk. If that's the issue, what program can see these files amongst the raw data and is it possible to recover files without destroying the file system?

But all in all I really am baffled, anxious and annoyed by all of this. I understood the command line and all that no problem, I've gotten used to it from using Unix, etc, fortunately, and never in my use of technology have ever had such problems. I got really excited when I managed to mount it quite simply what with others not even getting that far... But then I find out it didn't actually quite work out.

Sorry for the rant I'm really peeved, this alongside having voiding my warranty from rooting the tablet.

Please help.

ps I hope you don't mind me talking about the Note 10.1 here in the Nexus forums, I'm pretty sure the same tech applies i.e. Android + ADB, etc

EDIT: So all Hide It Pro does is rename the files to .bin when it hides them... Ok but these .bin files aren't getting recovered? Is this due to just the way recovery software recovers files then - it can't see the extension so it ignores it? But does the extension even get kept anyway? I mean the file names are completely destroyed upon deletion it seems.
[Nexus 4 General] bakron1:
I am posting a follow up thread on my review of my new Nexus 4 16 after two full days of what I would consider normal use. I used the same routine I would be using with my trusty GNEX and spared the phone no mercy.

Call quality and reception has been excellent on the T-Mobile US network and some of my clients have actually asked me if I changed phones because I sound better on the new N4, a positive feedback.

Battery life is actually a little better then the GNEX and I have always say if you are so worried about the battery life, Buy a GOOD car charger and it solves that issue.

I have been impressed with the speed and smoothness of this stock 4.2 JB ROM, the screen swipe is smooth with no lag and the apps launch quickly. The screen sharpness is top notch and in my opinion better then my GNEX.

The network connection has been perfect with no dropped calls and I have always had a solid 3G or H icon in the status bar, it would be nice to have a battery percentage indicator in the status bar though.

I used the Google voice function when texting and sending emails and I was impressed how fast the response time was, very little lag time when I was talking and the text was been generated on the screen.

So far this phone has been everything I expected it to be, yes 4G would be nice but for what I use the device for, 3G & HSPA is fine.I did not buy it to watch movies or play games. I use it as a phone and PDA like it was meant to be used.

My only complaint is a personal preference, but why is the hour text font on the lockscreen digital clock so much bigger then the minutes, drives me nuts looking at it. Maybe there is a way to change it and I just haven't found it yet.

Just my feedback and what is now my daily driver. I can't wait until the developers start build customs ROM's for it. Thanks Google for a great device that is priced just right for the person looking for a reliable wireless device. ME.
[Nexus 4 General] whittikins:
The clock is just like that for effect. I actually like it, but I know many people won't. Someone on Reddit modified it to remove the bold. Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.alamoapps.unboldedclockwidget

Remove the stock clock widget and add the new one :)
[Nexus 4 General] tweaked:
Cool, I dont understand your Movies reference. I have an Inspire 4g and it truley does not have 4g. Just HSPA. I play netflix all the time. Everyday. I don't think ppl understand the difference between 3g and HSPA. Its actually quite a bit. I hate when I am only connected to 3g.... ..

Hello

As a Gnex user... how is the screen in terms of black levels and light bleed? Do you notice it a lot ? I love the AMOLED displays so that alone might keep me from the N4

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] suriya83:
Sure......
[Nexus 4 General] earlyberd:
Nope.
[Nexus 4 General] VictorNYC:
Yeap H = HSPA + = 4G under T-Mobile's network ... Not technically 4G as in LTE but close enough and fast enough for most users .. (Unless you upload and download massive files all the time)
[Nexus 4 General] bakron1:
I was also skeptical about the N4 screen, but now I like it and for me the colors are nice and the text is crisp. Just my opinion.
[Nexus 4 General] VictorNYC:
4G it's just a marketing campaign anyway as in really not even LTE it's 4G as they are completely different
[Nexus 4 General] Serious_Beans:
Yeah, neither LTE or HSPA+ is 4G, I believe the real 4G is LTE-A.
[Nexus 4 General] ceroglu:
If you got it from T-mous, can you try to see if tethering works? Does it have built in android tethering with usb and wifi option? Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] sarni84:
This screen in my opinion is the best I seen and I had just about every phone the blacks are black and the whites are super bright this phone is definitely fast everything opens instantly. This is why I say benchmarks mean ****.... Because this phone is insanely fast. I like it and the price made it even better. Battery life has been a little better then my s3 2 days is not really enough time to test that though. All in all I think you guys should be happy. I can not wait to see what this does with a good kernel;)
[Nexus 4 General] AznDud333:
current hspa+ is not 4g

mimo multicarrier dc hspa+ is however..since it achieves 168mbps which is way beyond 4g standards

regardless..most lte used only get around 30mbps(that ive seen) so its not that far of a stretch..
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
So 4g is what? Speed only? I thought it was basically the generation after 4g...I don't think any 3g comes close to hspa+..my brothers often gets over 40mbps down..

[Nexus 4 General] AznDud333:
4g definition=100mbps mobile, 1000mbps in close proximity

lte was never 4g, neither was dchspa since neither actually got to 100mbps
[Nexus 4 General] sarni84:
True 4g is 100mbps it is all a gimmick. But let me tell you 40down is fast and another thing to remember is you won't feel a different from 7down to 20 it's all fast really. It is just bull how the company's say it is 4g it's really 3.5 g if that makes sense lol
[Nexus 4 General] donec:
4G is 4th Generation and unless I am mistaken Wimax is the only true 4th generation because LTE, HSPA+ came after and LTE-A is still comming. There is so little difference in the different flavors that they have bunched all the brothers together in marketing as 4G.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
You are just playing with words, true 4g etc..if it is fast, has great coverage and does not drain the battery like a hooker on Broad st then it is all good to me..screw lte..

First things first. We do NOT yet have permission from our source to release this build. However, we do have permission to post the testing results as well as screenshots.

If and when we do receive permission to release the build it will be posted here.

In the meantime we've tried to test everything we can possibly think of and post the results here. We'll update as we find more.

Please feel free to ask questions! We'll answer all that we can (except for the, "Can you sneak me a copy early" question ;)).

Proceed to Post 2 for screenshots and Post 3 for findings.

What we've discovered:

Older modems not compatible with FK09. You will lose 3G and 4G without the FK09 modem installed.

Several apps needing updates (Google Play Books, Google Play Magazines, Google Play Music, Google+, Maps, NASCAR, Sprint TV & Movies, YouTube, mSpot Radio, Sprint Music Plus and Telenav).

Working Google Now!

Cob can finally rejoice! The Recent Apps display bug is finally fixed!

Loads of new Motion options!

TW Launcher massively updated!

Default keyboard has Swype like support (and in my opinion is better than the 4.2 Android KB!).

Connections optimizer is back (but it's oddly not as invasive or as much of a bother as before).

LOADS of Lock Screen options!

LED control options.

Blocking mode (like a customizable airplane mode and call blocker in one).

Battery percentage display off by default. When enabled it shows to the left of the battery rather than on top of the battery (see screenshots).

Long press on toggle takes you to the corresponding settings menu.

Extended Power Menu built in (little bit different from what you'd see on a custom ROM)

More to come!

More updates:

1) Reminder that Flash isn't supported.

2) TB working fine

3) Bloat no longer allowed to uninstall without another app like TB. You can disable it, which does like TB's freeze function.

4) On the version, tap like you did with ICS and get one JB. Do a palm swipe from L to R on the top and get a bunch of JBs. You can play around with them too.

5) Calendar obviously redone as shown in screenie

6) Accuweather widget not resizeable.

7) AP widget gone, replaced with Yahoo News.

8) LED Indicator options! (See screenshot for options!)

9) Task manager bug non-existent. Looks the same as the FJ10 screenie I posted before.
