I had success recover deleted files from android phone memory card with an android phone data recovery guide:

how to recover data from android phone

The tutorial is really helpful and easy to follow. I recommend that you try it if you need to recover files from android phone.

Addings

Hi, first of all - thanks!

This saved all my vacation pictures!

Note: the link box.com/s/zw0sfprtlx4dqysd018o is obsolete

You can download cygwin and Android SDK separately instead, it will change some of the paths.

It doesnät matter if Busybox is in /bin or /xbin

One tricky thing about some Xperia phones:

These phones have a "virtual SD card where most of the deleted files are stored.

I don't understand why - there is no SD card slot - but that's how the design is made.

Nevertheless. When running the df command you'll notice this, and your files wont be stored in /data

My files were found in something like /SD/179:16

Good luck!

Great guide.....

After doing most of it I realised I didn't have enough space to create my raw file.....

So now I don't know what I need to free up is it the d:/ or c:/ or my phone.....
[Android General] dagark:
I have the same problem

I have tha same problem.

According to the instruction I can't copy the raw file.

I check the path in my computer and I foud a raw file empty.

I have confirmed the partition name: mmcblk0p12.

Finally, have you solved your problem?

I Mounted it using P2Explorer

Recuva didn't detect the drive i mounted for some reason, so i used a Program called "Get Data Back for FAT", it Recovers data from the image directly without mounting..

Recover .abp file

Hello!

Before I proceed with tutorial, Has anyone tried to recover other files than usual ones (like photos)?

I'm currently trying to recover an aCar application backup (.apb file) that I don't know what I did with it before a returned to factory settings (I guess I forgot to copy it on SD card). DiskDigger has no option for such file.

I'm usig a Note II 4.3 updated (root).
[Android General] decalex:
I appreciate the tutorial.

However, when I "minimize the window", open up another instance of Cygwin, and proceed with the steps, it apparently kills my adb process that is running in the minimized window. Is anyone else seeing this?

I'm just letting the first instance finish (hopefully it's doing something), and then I'm going to proceed. I hope that works. It's been running for about 45 minutes.

EDIT: I waited about 1.5 hours without any indication it was doing anything. Opened up second terminal window, and as above, when I ran the tcp:5555 command, it says adb is out of date, killing server... and it reset the other window :/

Any tips much appreciated.

I have lost all the phone data of my moto G after rooting (unlocking bootloader).

Its just like factory device now, completely wiped. I was aware something like this would happen after flashing. So, as suggested in some posts i took backup:

1. Backup of all apps, apk (system+user) using ES file mgr. I copied that to my laptop also.

2. Backup of user data using Helium (user apps only, that was the only option coming). But here i forgot to copy this to my laptop

Following this thread afterwards,

spent over half a day, somehow managed to complete the process, created VHD of 14.8 GB and tried scanning with different recovery softwares but still could not recover anything. :(

Contacts, SMS and some memorable pics are what I was interested to recover.

Any help ?

please help

hi ,

i have 2x i9300. one with android 4.3 another 4.1.2. with 4.1.2 everything its ok. all proces with no problem. but with 4.3 i spend 3 days, but I can not find a solution. problem is: in CMD is online - in cygwin terminal is offline. :eek:

maybe someone know a solution?

here is screenshot imageshack.com/a/img537/7073/PJF6l1.png

sorry for my bad english :)
[Android General] EdisHP:
fixed

fixed.

" You probably have two versions of the Android SDK installed and Cygwin

is finding the older one. Find and delete/move away the other version.

Open a Cygwin terminal and check which adb you are using in Cygwin and

your PATH env. variable. If you don't know what that is, you can look

online. As an example, on my machine.

$ which adb

/home/≤EDITED>/bin/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb

$ adb version

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31

The reason I have adb visible in my Cygwin shell is because I have it

setup that way. Assuming you have the Android SDK installed under

'Program Files (x86)' and that is the one you want to use, you could

do this on your system:

$ export PATH=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\

\(x86\)/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools:$PATH

$ which adb

/cydrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb

I followed the guide but when i reach the last step, and type:

nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0p26.raw

nothing happens. it returns a 0 kb file. what could be wrong? Its a sony xperia z. buysbox is in system/bin only. please help!
[Android General] justclickin:
I personally have tried Dr.Fone from Wondershare but I just used the trial version of it and was able to see the deleted pictures. I had to purchase the license in order to recover it which was around $49 so I didn't opt for it.

If this one is free then I bet it would be one of the best tool.
[Android General] anantharam:
Same issue for me too :(

When I ran

nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0p12.raw

nothing happens. It just returns a 0kb file. I have Samsung Galaxy S3 and the busybox is in /system/xbin/busybox.

Have you figured out what was causing that issue for you?

EDIT : I figured out the issue, for those of you wondering, you should use 32bit cygwin not 64bit cygwin and the raw file will then get generated.

I followed these different guides but now the issue is how do I get the data from this raw file using vhdtool and recuva did not give me any single file that was in the internal storage, some of these tools return hundreds of text files and images that I had no idea was in my internal storage but none of them return me any of the hundreds of images and videos that I was sure were in my internal storage.

[Android General] Sonstiger:
I was able to copy an image of the data partition of my Samsung Galaxy S6 128 GB (SM-G920F, Android 6.0.1, G920FXXU3DPDP) on my computer -- using Photorec I could scan this partition for lost files. Unfortunately only undeleted or not relevant files were found. None of the files of the 70 GB deleted pictures and videos. But there have been tousands of files (around 4 MB and higher each) extraced with the file extensions ".elf" and ".sqlite". I assume that these files are my lost photos and videos and that they, for any reason, cannot be assigned correctly .

This may be related to the file system ext4? Or the blocksize? Linux? Or any other reason related to the fact that these files were not deleted the normal way but suddenly while trying to move a to big folder to my PC.

I cannot mount the RAW image as VHD, i get the following message: A virtual disk support provider for the specified file was not found. I used the VhdTool.exe from here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/f96bmsvjz4qdvbu/VhdTool.zip and there was no error message.

What can I do here? I would be gratefull if any expert here being familiar with the ext4 filesystem or Android partititions could help me in any form. Please let me know if you need an additional information. It would be so great if I could find a way to scan the image / partition a way that my files can be recovered. There should be a big part of the 70 GB still untouched since I do not use the phone anymore.

Looking forward to any reply. Thanks!
[Android General] Zawusel:
0 kb file

I FINALLY figured out, why I had the same problem with the empty raw file. When you have the two cygwin windows open, you have to execute the last commands in each window

/system/bin/busybox nc -l -p 5555 -e /system/bin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16

and

nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0p16.raw

in quick succession. Prepare everything in both cygwin windows just before you have to press ENTER and then do it quickly in both windows (of course in the right order).

BTW: In cygwin you have to search for "pv" (in utils) and for "nc" (in net) before you start.
