[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
doesn't really like you have much of a choice now then. You should prepare yourself for the possibility that, because data is missing, the sdcard may be corrupted and not recoverable at all. having said that, I have recovered data from hard drives and sdcards that have been formatted multiple times, with minimal loss. I would wait till tomorrow night before you decide anything, give more people a chance to see the post through tomorrow
[HTC One X] .Xenon-:
Yeah im hoping someone may know of a why to get either usb mass storage mode working or perhaps just a good recovery service anyone could recommend.
[HTC One X] MrT69:
Is the device rooted? Do you have CWM Recovery installed on it?
[HTC One X] .Xenon-:
no unfortunately not, just wish i had now and I woulda have saved myself alot of hassle.

I think if i understand it correctly now if i root and install CWM recovery now it actually reformats/wipes the storage.
[HTC One X] MrT69:
Ok. Currently I'm on the way home from work but I guess I will need aprox. 1 hour.

1. DO NOT install a custom ROM

2. You need to install CWR Recovery for this Action

3. Don't care if the device will boot or not - you need only CWR Recovery installed on it

4. Do not try to do stupid things like using public bull**** recovery crap Tools

It will take up to two hours and your data will be back. Ok. lets say most of them.

To do:

1. Unlock your device bootloader

2. Install CWM Recovery

3. Let me know when it's done

And most important - leave the device as it is. Do not restart or boot the device to much times ;)
[HTC One X] .Xenon-:
thanks for your help!

Im at work at the moment too so I will try to do this as soon as I get home.

just a quick question though, does unlocking the bootloader and installing CWM recovery format the storage? nogotaclue said unlocking the bootloader would wipe/reformat the memory again. (I am trying to avoid this as it could potentially write over the data im trying to recover)
[HTC One X] MrT69:
Don't care about if the SDCard will be formated or not.

On the one Hand it seems you have already formated or lost the partion on it and on the other Hand there is no other way to get the data back.

I promise to you that this is OK even when the unlock procedure Format your SDCard ;) This is not the first time that I recover some data. And I do this Job since more than 15 years.

It's up to you to decide. ;)
[HTC One X] .Xenon-:
Sorry I didn't mean to offend you. Just worried that's all. I was called away for work so I'm back this weekend. Will root and install the recovery as soon I can.

Thanks again for your help.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Then i have a question to you Mr T, what software is "best" or at least very good to use to recover lost/formatted data ?

As you seem to know much about that :)

Re: Recover deleted pictures and videos

It is very good that you did not use your phone after deletion of photos and videos so there will be no matter of overwriting. You said that you have tried many Recovery Tools but I think they might be free of cost. I have also tried so many free data recovery tools to recover my photos but all are of no use. Then my friend suggested me Remo recover Android tool after employing the tool I successfully recovered all my data from my HTC one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielrg44:
I've got a backup archive in my PC and I can't access to my android, And my recovery mode (Android System Recovery 3e)only can restore with archives that be on internal SD

How can I put an archive of my PC to my internal SDcard using ADB commands?

I need do it with ADB because I haven't got CWM
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
ad push <archive location> <internal sd>

Replace what's in <> with the proper path

An example for pushing an apk to my nexus 4 maybe something like

adb push adfree.apk /storage/sdcard0/

But I tend to first open terminal/cmd in the location of the file I want to push so I don't have to enter all the C:\users\demkantor\desktop.... And so on
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielrg44:
Can you tell me basic commands, to know where I am, to see the folders of my location....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
You can try a few things like

Or

adb shell

cal/proc/partitions

Or

ls -l /dev/block

Or

(sorry for my bad english before)

here's my condition:

- broken usb port (can't use any PC method, i.e. gnex toolkit, adb, command, etc)

- 4.3 jwr666y

- CWM was gone (after flashing 4.3)

- unroot (after flashing 4.3)

- still have unlocked state bootloader

so what should i do to relock my bootloader?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deucedimetexas:
When you flashed 4.3 rom did you flash a superuser update? and have you tried to use goomanager or romtoolbox to install twrp or cwm recovery? Also, do you have USB Debugging turned on under developers options?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amrstifler:
yes, i did all that stuff. the superSU can't open, its says "not supported with 4.3". then, everytime i installing custom recovery (cwm/twrp) its always succeed, but nothing happened in recovery mode.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtrusNex:
I have been having terrible signal on my Verizon XT926 since switch to CyanogenMod. I originally flashed to an unofficial branch of CyanogenMod a few months ago after a Verizon OTA started forcing my phone to constantly reboot and the bootloader had been unlocked.

I have a feeling it might be my baseband, as it has the Moniker VANQUISH rather than CDMA_N that seems to be the standard. Is this normal or did I end up with a baseband of another phone from the same SoC branch? Here are some of the problems I have:

- The radio signal is unusually weak. It never gets above -100 dBm when it used to be able to get to -70 dBm easily.

- The standard choice of lte/CDMA/evdo/gsm/wcdma is unavailabe from the testing settings.

- The phones will only run on the "Cellular" radio band. The "USA" band does not work.

If I am indeed on the wrong baseband, does anyone by chance know where I can flash the right one from?

Thanks in advance!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathblade:
Hi I've been looking into getting a nexus 4 for a while I just want to know what are the ups and downs of it, I've looked through a bit of the thread and haven't really seen anything bad, just wanting to know how the device is and such not too worried about any custom software glitches or anything. Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielms22:
Well, I don't think you can get that performance for that money in any other phone atm.

The sound is a little low, although I've seen fixes for that if it bothers you. The camera is average for a modern smartphone. As is the battery life.

Big plus: Always having the latest updates. Also, the Support should last quite a while. ;)

What else...I like the NFC technology and playing around with tags. Easier than I thought, too.

Looking into buying a QI charger atm. Being able to use those is another nice feature.

Then there is the look of the back :) Of course that's only good for something when you don't hide it in a bumper or case.

You can't get anything better if you're on a tight budget imho. :good:

[LG Optimus G Pro] kelshoop:
I rooted my G pro about 3 days ago. Also downloaded an app to enable free tethering, Everything was working fine. Today I noticed my notifications have stopped working. No pop up, no sound. New emails and sms will be listed if I go in and look; and not marked as new. But none of the notifications will show up or sounds play. All the settings are correct and have not been changed. I have rebooted and nothing. Any ideals?
[LG Optimus G Pro] jdk2:
What model is your phone? E980 or an international variant?
[LG Optimus G Pro] kelshoop:
E980, with Android vers 4.1.2
[LG Optimus G Pro] AcerRacer:
Same problem No notifications but so far only email seems to be effected. For instance, email doesn't seem to be pushed to my phone anymore, and when I manually start downloading from server, I can see the mail icons pop up in the status bar, if I quickly go to notification center I can see it there for an instant, then it disappears from center and status bar. In my mail app it shows unread though. Text messages and Google play store updates are showing in my notification center ok. I'm using an HTC One From Canada which is basically Tmobile on 4.1.2. I just unlocked my bootloader and rooted yesterday for the first time ever. Everything appeared to go fine. I confirmed a successful root by using the root checker app. I used Hasoon2000's all-in-one toolkit and got it from his dev site so I used latest version. I also installed the latest drivers, SDK and supersu.

Now this is where there might be a problem. I did a full backup from a cmd prompt using the adb tools before unlocking and rooting. The command was "adb backup -f Fullbackup.ab -apk -all" as per the instructions on the Titanium backup website. Put the ab backup on my device after the successful root and installed Titanium Pro, which extracted the ab file and voila! Restored my phone to exactly how it was before the root. Even wallpaper, app arrangement, all settings, mail accounts, everything was there. Could this be the problem?

Additionally, when I start titanium backup it says my device id has changed and asks me if I want to change it back to the previous one. I left it for now cause I didn't know if that would mess anything up. Could this be the issue and should i change it back or leave it?

I recently got the LG e450 and i'm wondering if i could update it from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 jelly beam and where would i download the update and how to get to recovery mod on it
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] mircea89fzr:
is there an official lg update to 4.2.2?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] TheLonelyNoble:
As of yet there is no word on an official 4.2.2 update, but that may change. I have my doubts though.

As for custom recovery, it's unlikely that we'll be able to install custom recovery at all, as we currently don't have a proper means of compiling a custom kernel.

TL;DR: It highly unlikely.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] mircea89fzr:
i'm pretty sure flashing a custom recovery doesn't have anything to do with compiling a kernel.

maybe we'll get 4.3.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] TheLonelyNoble:
I'm sorry, sometimes the way I word things make more sense in my own head. We don't really have any proper sources from Mediatek to work with at this point. Although, I'm trying reverse engineer what's already there. Also, there's no 'bootable' bootloader to try and work with either. It's a pain in the proverbial.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] mircea89fzr:
Did you know lg has released complete sources for e455/460? I mean kernel and everything. http://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/index

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] DennisMoore:
Try to reflash your device from scratch. Not just the radio update.

Download the official software for your device from your provider (T-Mobile, Vodafone, etc.) and do a complete flash. During that operation every data on the device should be reset to factory settings. So does the ROM.

After your device works again, you can do another single upgrade of the radio stack. You'll find the appropriate software on the FTP or on buzzdev.net.

I had the same problem after an interrupted update and this procedure solved the problem for me.

Hey Guys, I just switched over to this phone from the S3, and before that from the Samsung Vibrant, so I'm no stranger to flashing, recoveries and (hopefully) following instructions.

I have the C6603 with locked bootloader.

Rooted using doomlords' easy rooting

Put on recovery "cwm-locked XZ v4"

Reboot into recovery, wipe factory reset, and flash "RomAur v8.0 AROMA" using all the appropriate settings.

Reboot recovery, and and I boot loop around the Sony screen. I've had to use flashtool 5 times in a row to go back to stock, and for some reason can't load this specific ROM. MD5 on the .zip's check out. Tried a different ROM as well, and this last time phone wouldn't even turn on. Is there a crucial step I'm missing somewhere?

I transferred a couple more ROMs ot the external SD card, but I'm unsuccessful in flashing any ROM successfully. Either bootloop or screen showing nothing.

and RomAUR, and havn't gotten past the Sony symbol with any of them.

I have gone back to stock to "C6603_10.1.A.1.434_UK unbranded" about 10 times now... Thoughts?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watcher64:
If you are flashing the newer roms you need to update to an newer kernel bootloader first ..

The stock you are flashing is older ...

If you don't have the newer kernel you will appear to have soft bricked ..

Most of the rom threads state that you need to be on a "compatible" base first.

Xperia Z (C6603) 10.3.1.A.0.244 - Generic - Central Europe

but you may have to downgrade your kernel to a 243 version to flash , then restore the 244 kernel , to be able to maintain root ..

There are several guides for this ..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobo89:
Thank you! That was it. Before kernels were usually packaged with the ROM's, is the reason they are not with the xperiaZ, because some phones have locked/unlocked bootloader? So different kernal/rom combos?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
It's just the way it is with SE/Sony Phones.

Even in that case, most probably they Will not unlock it

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golden86:
Hi all,

I have an Australian unbranded HTC One with CID HTC_039

My phone has been rooted and running Android Revolution HD 12.1

Recently Android Revolution HD 20.1 came out, I upgraded to that. Everything worked fine, except the new Sense 5 Toolbox, so I thought I might just reinstall the Rom again, and I think it's after this my phone started to reject my SIM card. Message says "Invalid Card, please contact customer care"

It'll only take an Optus sim card now, and my Telstra sim card won't work.

I have now restored my phone to M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID HTC__039 / 1.29.980.2 (Australia Unbranded - Thanks to deeevan)

And I tried to run OTA update, from 4.1.2 to the OTA 4.2.2 update. As you can see from this image, it downloaded some Optus file.

Anyone has any ideas where I've done wrong and how I can flash my phone back to original unbranded and unlocked?

Appreciate your help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herwegan:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeevan:
This isn't answering your question, but I can clear up some things so you can focus on it.

The Optus AU in the OTA filename isn't an issue or related to your sim issue. The unbranded phones share the same firmware (980) as Optus phones.

The OTA failed because you are still using a custom recovery (I can see cwm in your photo). Extract the stock recovery.img that's inside the nandroid and fastboot flash it before trying to apply the OTA again.

Are you sure your phone is simlocked? Or just a faulty Telstra sim and a working Optus sim.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golden86:
Hey Deeevan,

Thanks for your response. I think you're right.

The OTA update failed because I'm using the CWM recovery, however I thought because it referenced optus, the phone thinks it's Optus locked. I didn't know the unbranded phones and Optus shared the same OTA update file.

With regards to my sim card, I've actually got an nano sim in a micro sim adapter and inserting it in the HTC One, this has worked beautifully for me since day one, just recently it started to fail. I have tried the same nano sim in micro sim adapter in an old iPhone 4S, and it worked there too.

The strange this is every time I insert a singtel/optus sim into the HTC, it detects it straight away. But not my Telstra sim. Perhaps it's something else?

I guess the other thing I can try is flashing the firmware again? But I can't seem to find 1.29.980.2 firmware.

Any ideas?
