Android Data Recovery tool

Have you ever met the problem about losing your files on your phone suddenly? I have once lost my contacts and messages on my Samsung Galaxy S3, and I get all them back with the help of an Android Data Recovery tool.:D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petarku:
Hi guys , I flashed newest radio through recovery console but now internet on the phone is not working at all. Does anyone else have same experience. Even I flashed back old radio but that didnt help ..

Any help ? thoughts ..

I am on ARHD 12.1 rom and everything was working fine before I flashed new radio ..

Thanks in advance
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 99piotrek:
Did u make sure that you downloaded flashable zip?

If yes try flashing again and make sure u wipe cache/dalvik before
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petarku:
I am sure I have flashable zip.

radio was flashed successfully , I checked after in settings.

problem was with connection to internet ,wasnt working at all..

I reflashed viper one rom and everything is working now , just I wouldnt expect that flashing radio will affect internet connection in that way.

maybe next time I can try to wipe cache/dalvik if will have similar problem..

Thank you very much for reply and advice
[Google Chromecast] @jroid:
I really like the chromecast so far, but the android app is killing me (well my phone).

Ever since I installed the Chromecast app on my Galaxy S4 My battery life is horrible. When I look at the battery stats Chromcast is always the highest by far (even more than screen). It apparently doesn't matter if I force close it either. I tried reinstalling it and that didn't help either. Unfortunately I can't keep this on my phone! Is anyone else seeing this?
[Google Chromecast] empirescrumble:
I'm seeing the same thing, but my drain is not coming from the Chromecast app, but rather from Google Services.
[Google Chromecast] Jbluna:
If you're rooted you could try Greenify from the Play store, it'll identify background apps(and their memory usage) and you can select & disable them until you actually start it.

[Google Chromecast] @jroid:
Thanks, I will take a look at it.:good:
[Google Chromecast] IamPro:
Yea its been a problem on the S4, now I turn it off when I can
[Google Chromecast] hawkns:
The app doesn't do anything aside from getting it initially setup to connect to your wifi.

Are you saying its automatically starting up the app even after you've killed it the first time?
[Google Chromecast] @jroid:
Yes, it is very odd. The only other thing I can think of is that the battery status app (stock) is misreporting the app info and something else is killing my battery and chromecast app is being blamed ... I will try to dig around a bit more and see whats going on.

Thanks

So I had been running kevdliu's CM10.1 FTL rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2359249) which was running great, but wanted to try his 4.3 rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2377071), so I did a full nandroid backup (everything) and flashed the 4.3 FTL rom. It was running a bit slower for me, and I didnt see much advantage to 4.3, so I just restored my CM10.1 FTL backup.

I've noticed two strange things since:

First, I was a bit confused about why all of my music had to re-download from Google Play Music - I backed up the data partition (where I believe this is stored), even though it takes about 10 gigs of storage, just so that this wouldn't happen... not a huge problem, I just don't understand how this would occur, given that everything the app would be seeing should have been restored.

Second, and more problematically, Google Drive now crashes any time an editable google document is opened (spreadsheet or doc), meaning I can't even look at these files.

I've tried deleting the cache/local data for the app, uninstalling/reinstalling it, (dirty) reflashing the ROM and gapps, and nothing seems to work. Any ideas on what to try to fix this would be appreciated - I'd like to avoid anything that would require re-downloading all of Google Music (as it takes about 10 hours) but if a full wipe/reinstall is the only way to fix this I'll try it as a last resort.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lastforone:
Most likely the dirty flash is the culprit... But who knows maybe someone will come up with a better solution. Good luck..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ice20978:
Oh sorry, I think my post was a bit unclear. The system progression was like this:

Clean flashed to 4.2.2 CM FTL - Google drive working correctly

Backed up 4.2.2 CM FTL nandroid

Clean flashed 4.3 FTL - Didn't check drive

Restored 4.2.2 CM FTL nandroid - Drive not working (also tried reinstalling, clearing cache/data - still not working)

Dirty flashed 4.2.2 CM FTL rom (same version) - Drive still not working
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ice20978:
Must have just been a ROM issue... switched back to the 4.3 rom, and things work fine again now. Hopefully performance will improve as things move out of beta.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaveh:
Hello

I have update my HTC One (europe) into 4.2.2 recently.

I have unlocked the bootloader, installed a recovery (ClockWorkMod Touch 6), and root the device.

But after wanted to install a module founded on the net, I blocked the device (without any save obviously), and the device starts but freeze on the screen of HTC logo.

I always have access to the bootloader (and to fastboot) and to recovery CM6.

To reinstall ROM, I found several solutions on the web but none of theses worked :

- I tried to install a RUU ROM and relocked my bootloader before => impossible, error 140 because it considers that my bootloader does not have the good version. Indeed the RUU availables on the web are only 4.1 and apparently the downgrade is not authorized.

- I tried to inject a custom ROM via ADB sideload but there were a new issue : my device is not recognized! DEVICE NOT FOUND. The fastboot command works well, the HTC is detected, but not the ADB command, which is the only one enabling me to copy a custom ROM in the internal memory of the device (I reinstalled the drivers several times obviously).

I dont know what to do anymore, I feel that the device can be saved because I have access to the bootloader, fastboot and recovery.

But I do not see which other method to use to finally be able to replace the exsiting ROM by a new clean ROM

Thank you very much of your assistance.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
You need to be in recovery and sideload mode when using the adb command. I'm not sure about CWM but on TWRP sideload mode is located under advanced options.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crushalot:
If you re-locked your bootloader when trying to run the RUU, you will have to go to htcdev again and get a new token and unlock the bootloader again before you will be able to flash anything in recovery.

Thats maybe why you can't sideload in adb.

Also you have the phone device drivers installed on your PC right?

Could also try sideloading and other troubleshooting by using a toolkit:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muhammad.Muayad:
rename the ROM from its original name to "ROM.zip" without the quotes, and then try again ADB

if it didnt work inject TWRP, and copy the ROM to a USB Stick and using a USB OTG ($1) mount the USB Stick in TWRP and install the ROM

it worked %100 for me

Hi my phone have scratches and I notice that my screen border is not flat it appears to have a screen protector or is the screen like that?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w3nZ:
there is a screen protector.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Najuto9tail:
Is yours completely flat to the border of plastic?

I am afraid of pealing it off and damaging the screen.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Ions come with one put on it peels off a bit hard but comes off clean I'd just leave it it's almost 100% unnoticable. you can take it off with a finger nail easily and without hurting your phone though
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Najuto9tail:
Is it the one in the pic in the link. I am thinking if it can be removed, I will buy another screen protector.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w3nZ:
yeah its the same like on ur pic, i removed it because of scratches and installed another one.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Najuto9tail:
Thank you, I will be buying a new screen protector then. When I get it I will peal the one scratched and apply the new one :victory:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ConorCX:
Peel it off, I did with my Xperia S, no difference in usability, no real disadvantages I can think of, either. After removal I applied a screen protector shortly after. A trip to the beach though and it's already scratched (the protector) . Oh well!

With any luck, that god awful carrier logo will go as well (seriously why do American phone operators do that?).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] derrickdroid:
How would the carrier logo go? Is it under the factory screen protector?

Xperia LT28at running BlackZax'7 JB. 211
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ConorCX:
The carrier logo would go if it was printed on the shatter proof protector itself that would then be peeled off.

It would be similar to how the Sony logo on the Xperia Z is printed on the shatter proof protector (like this video below demonstrates).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK2UP7AAdHs
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] derrickdroid:
So removing the factory film makes the phone screen more prone to shatter when dropped?

Xperia LT28at running BlackZax'7 JB. 211
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ConorCX:
No, it doesn't make any difference to the strength of the screen. The film is there to stop small shards of glass harming you if you drop your phone and pick it up. A screen protector will do just the same when you take your shatter proof film off though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Najuto9tail:
I received my screen protector today, I bought the anti glare,anti grease protector. Removed the stock one and added the new one, I got a new screen!!! No scratches! :)

I still got at&t logo... It was not printed on the film.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] EggosEvo:
I want to root my S4, and thankfully it's still on MDL. I've been reading that the MF3 update has been forced upon some. My question is, what would be the best way to root without the update being forced upon me at reboot?

I plan on using the CASUAL root tool, which says that as well as root, it installs TWRP onto the device. I'm assuming that TWRP for our device has the loki patcher built in? That's the main thing that Confuses me is when that necessary to be used.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] blastagator:
Turn off mobile date and wifi to avoid the update. Run CASUAL. Once you have run, install titanium backup. There is an apk you can freeze to block the update. Search the forums for which to freeze.

Or preferably flash a custom ROM. They remove the updater stuff : )

Edit: Freeze these

If you want to avoid the update, you should root your phone and freeze the following three apps using titanium backup or some similar app.

1. AT&T Software update Vxx_x_xxxx_x_x

2. FWUpgrade x.x.x

3. LocalFOTA vx_xxxx_x_x

EDIT

: 8/1/13 - GOT IT BACK TO WINDOWS 8 RT! :victory:

Not sure how I did it but I did o_O

Original Post: 7/27/13

Device: Asus Vivo Tab RT

Background: Wanted to try out windows 8.1. I'm not a hacker by any means but knew I needed to put the 8.0 recovery image on a USB flash drive so that I could return to 8.0 if I wanted.

Problem: I hate 8.1 and need to go back to 8.0 ... yet, when I safe boot from the USB drive (by holding down the volume button when I press power) and click "troubleshoot" -> "reset" it goes through the motions and gives me an error saying

:mad:

Question: What am I doing wrong? :confused:

Please help :crying:
[Windows RT General] Myriachan:
When you made the recovery image, did you select the full backup one?
[Windows RT General] hisoft:
Seem to be this case. How much you recovery drive used. If it < 512 MB that mean you create a recovery drive without checked "Copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive." It can use to boot device, some of boot menu and tool but can't reinstall OS.
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Just for the future, pre releases can be buggy and unstable, you don't mess with them unless you know what you are doing.
[Windows RT General] ap3604:
I followed the

exact

steps in this Microsoft article when creating my USB recovery image (http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/storage-files-and-folders/create-a-recovery-drive)

I even went ahead and downloaded the entire Asus Vivo RT recovery files on a different brand new flash drive from here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2165831) and did the whole going into safe mode trying to reset, knowing for sure that I have the right files, but my Vivo RT still gives me the same "unable to reset your pc. a required drive partition is missing" error :(

I tried the above files both zipped and unzipped, made no difference :crying:

I even tried doing what this person did here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43952563#post43952563) by going into command prompt and typing what he did but it didn't work.

What can I do?
[Windows RT General] Myriachan:
I have not done this in a while, but I think that when you select recover it asks whether you want to repartition. I wish I could help, but my knowledge of this is limited.
[Windows RT General] Naffets:
Same thing happened to me - I've just downloaded a copy of the recovery knocking around the forums and I'm going to try with that...
[Windows RT General] ap3604:
If you get it to work can you come back to let me know how you did it pls? :)
[Windows RT General] Naffets:
Downloaded a EN-GB recovery

formatted a pendrive with fat32

extracted iso of recovery onto root of pendrive

reboot into recovery (startup with vol down held down)

enter bitlocker key if asked

goto advanced

reset pc

"target os" = whatever version of windows you are on, not want to be on

run through the steps onscreen, it'll work fine..
[Windows RT General] ap3604:
Not sure why it worked today of all days but I was able to get my Asus Vivo Tab back to regular windows RT :victory:

1) Plugged in USB drive (which had the following 5 things on it from recovery image process which took up 2.78gb)

- boot folder

- efi folder

- storage folder

- bootmgr.efi

- reagent

2) Turned off computer

3) Turn on computer into safe mode by holding down volume button

4) Clicked U.S. keyboard

5) Clicked advanced

6) Clicked reset

7) Clicked on the windows 8.1 preview tile (not sure why it had the name windows 8.1 preview but it was in fact the regular windows 8 RT recovery image - later once windows 8 RT was back to normal I checked this process again and the tile now said windows RT)

I can guarantee I did these same steps above around 30 times when this problem first occurred and the windows 8.1 preview tile would not show up on step 7. Strange.

Either way I'm just happy to have my computer back to windows 8 RT :victory:

The trackpad was reversed and the scrolling speed on windows 8.1 preview was

horrible

and made me want to throw the thing through a ****ing window :(
[Windows RT General] Naffets:
Glad you got it sorted mate! :) High five!!!

I didn't like 8.1 purely due to lack of Jailbreak...why can't we run ARM compiled desktop apps natively?! It's daft!
[Windows RT General] Myriachan:
It's not asking which recovery image you want to use - it's asking which Windows installation/partition you want to wipe to recover. That's why it showed 8.1 despite being the 8.0 recovery image. =^-^=
[Windows RT General] AlexMinsk:
Finally, I managed to restore Asus Vivotab RT back to Windows 8.0 RT.

Here are some final clues that helped me:

1. Do press volume down much longer, even after device vibrated after pressing power button.

2. My device recognized USB flash recovery only when connected to tablet part (without dock) using adapter (which comes with the device).

The device booted from USB also when connected to the dock, but then after it freezes so you can't press/tap any item on screen.

Big thanks for everybody who helped to restore the device.

Has anyone gotten this working yet on the OUYA, and if so what games/ROMS? So far everything I have tried comes back with the error "The selected game is missing one or more required ROM or CHD images." Not sure if I am putting the ROMS in wrong area, wrong roms version, or what.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawnchalfant:
Works great.

You need to use 0.139 dats on your ROM sets. Then run the program once. Let it make the default dirs, then navigate to the roms dir under the root of the program location. Place files here. Then re-run, you can use custom dirs, but try this first until you have success.

Hello guys, you're the only hope to fix this, I'm sure! I'm facing a very annoying issue, (I'm having an old BL) mine USB cable is not working properly (just charges the phone, and nothing more happens, all drivers are up - to-date. Strange bug, happened after few days while being on CM 10.1. I don't know if that is related but while using CM10.1 I used battery calibration app , tried to solve that long charging issue (:D) after using cm10.1 I have advance-wiped not only cache, dalvik, but also system, data , etc..then moved to 7.2 stable, still got no USB functions, computer just does not see my phone(tried 3 computers using windows 7 32/64 bit,Nvflash is also not seeing the device.) I wonder if someone could help me to fix that mess. Really would like to flash a stock rom, but nothing except charging is working. I forgot to mention that while being on Cm10.1 I used this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1800935 to mount storage, also some google mounting apps with no luck. CWM also does not mount mass storage. What could be wrong? Help will be appreciated ! :good: :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] bitdomo:
If your cable is not working properly, only charge your phone, then there is no way to use nvflash, smartflash or cwm to copy rom to your internal sdcard. What you can do is that you buy a new cable or borrow one from your friends or from someone. If you have external sdcard then use a cardreader to copy rom to your phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mindaugas92:
Can somehow i flash a stock rom without nvflash? Or just restore a backup ?

If you have backup on your phone then restore it, but how do you want to use nvflash or smartfalsh or anyother thing if your cable is broken?

[LG Optimus 2x] bitdomo:
If it is the cable what is broken just simply change to another cable. If it is the usb port itself on your phone then use sdcard to copy rom to your phone. There is no other option
[LG Optimus 2x] Mindaugas92:
Its not a cable. So now i need a stock rom backup to copy to my sdcard and restore. Can someone post it?
[LG Optimus 2x] bitdomo:
just download a rom from the developement section. Choose the correct version for your bootloader
[LG Optimus 2x] Mindaugas92:
But I cant install install fls and bin or kdz file directly from my phone.. :( Very need a backup of stock lg p990 gingerbread.. :(
[LG Optimus 2x] bitdomo:
Oh okay okay I got it now. :o

You were on old bootloader right? If so then I am uploading a backup of gingerbread v20s.

Do you remember what version of rom did you have before you flashed cm? So We could match up the baseband and the rom.

Do you want to replace cwm recovery with stock recovery?

What version of cwm do you have? It is essential to know, because backup formats are differs between cwm versions
