[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
When you asked for advice two weeks ago, I mentioned that you were not describing events in nearly enough detail for us to effectively help you. Unfortunately, you haven't changed that habit. You still are providing almost no details whatever, to

your

detriment. We can't see your phone and Ouiji boards are simply unreliable. So we can only work with the details that you give us. Clearly something went wrong, but you didn't describe the error message(s) you saw on screen or what you did, step by step.

The dd command would copy your partition whether it was empty or full. Which would be something a lot closer to a gigabyte than whatever "very few bytes" means. So something failed and we have no way to even guess at what since you did not describe in any detail what you did or saw on screen. You didn't even give us a specific number, only characterizing it as very few bytes.

Lots of people will make guesses for you, with lottery type odds of stumbling onto a solution for you. If you want real help, start by describing in exhaustive detail what you tried and verbatim, what you saw on screen for a start.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Thank you for the extra detail, which helps enormously.

The quote above says that your phone copied 10 MB to your internal memory card. We should copy it to your external sdcard instead, so lets do that command again, specifying the external card this time:

$ su
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p25 of=/extSdCard/data.img

When you go to look at your external SD card afterward, keep in mind that a lot of apps will hide "hidden and system files" from view. So you'd need to list what is on your card with a file browser that is set to view hidden files, show system files, list all files, including system and hidden files or a setting similar to that.

Once you are certain that you have it copied to your external SD card then you can use any number of PC based data recovery programs to search for your photos inside the data.img file.

I thought busybox should have helped here but I'm not sure how to use it anyways.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
This implies that either the /data directory or your sdcard were not mounted. Did you try this command from a normally boot or recovery mode?

Can you see the data partition and external card from the command line?

e.g.

$ su
# cd /data
# ls -la

$ su
# cd /extSdCard
# ls -la

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegasspade:
I did it in normal boot.

as for seeing the data partition and external card from command line. I'm not sure how to tell you that or where to look for it.

I did put in the command line given and the response is as follows

$ su
# cd /data
/data # is -la
# ls -la

is: not found

$ su
# cd /extSdCard
# ls -la

#no such file or directory
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
There's a few apps out there they can deep scan your phone, problem you have is that as the phone remains on it'll begin overwriting them, or fragments of them rendering them useless. If you can mount your phone as a drive then easeus might be a good place to start, the other apps are for the phone and without root access youd run a higher risk at overwriting them the more you tinker.

AFAIK a factory reset doesn't actually kill off the data, turning all the 1s into 0s if it does then that'd be a lot harder, pretty quick for a total wipe if that's the case.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Lets confirm the name of your directories.

Can you paste the results of these searches for us?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freedominthegrave:
There are lot of ways

:) You are good at accidentally delete something I guess.

And I guess you don't know there are many recovery softwares can do the recovery easily. I don't know if your deleted photos are in external memory or internal memory.

But it is in internal memory, you may need to loot your phone so that you be able let the software detect your phone. and search for a "Android Phone Recovery" or something in google.

if it is in external memory, in case you don't want to loot your phone. you can plug your phone to a card reader, and use the same recovery software. and that also can do the trick.

Hope can help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anikdas:
I bought my nexus 5 couple of weeks ago and from the beginning I experienced a really poor battery life.

From the screenshot, please other nexus 5 users let me what do you think about this battery performance, is that normal ? When this screenshot is taken about 17% battery was remaining. Please suggest me how can I improve this battery performance.

I am using-

Stock rom

Rooted

Low brightness as possible

Google now disabled

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
There's a proper sticky battery life troubleshooting thread for this, it will tell you how to troubleshoot your issues better, no need to open another thread ;) . Please post more detailed screenshots over there

But looking at your 'usage', in your list you seem to have forgotten to add "played Hay Day for 2 hours"

So my simple suggestion to improve your battery performance: don't play Hay Day for 2 hours....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
2 hours gaming + 2 hours SOT. Where is the problem?

Need to use Per App Modes to underclock CPU for your games to get more out of it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anikdas:
Yeah, Thanks for your help, I highly appreciate it and also going to post on your link.

Anyway, the game usage is there so I felt like not to mention that, lol.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anikdas:
Could you please explain what is SOT and how could I use Per App Modes to underclock CPU for gaming. Thanks a lot for your reply.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brichardson1991:
SOT would be Screen On Time

I imagine what he means is that something like Tasker when said app liek a game is open it underclocks the cpu and then resets it back to normal when you leave the app.

This would stop the cpu being put to max all the time and thus using more power consuming more battery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
I'm still not sure what you'll gain out of posting there though, your battery statistics are very skewed, which is why you have a perception of 'poor' battery life...

It's like driving a car at 100mph with the windows open, the stereo loud with the air con on...and then wondering why the tank is empty and the fuel economy is so bad...

Or leaving all the house lights and appliances on all the time, and wondering why the electricity meter is increasing so quickly.

Playing a mobile game for two hours...........not much different...it makes the battery life look 'poor' by most standards...

In all three cases, it's how you use it which will define how much energy / battery is used. Basic laws of physics ;)

the 'Normal usage' is impossible for any user to define as we're all different, but still I'm going to guess that most of us don't include 2 hours gaming in that statistic
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugenbatteriesOwner:
What kind of battery are you currently running on? That may be contributing to the short battery life.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
of course, its his battery!

no way it has anything to do with 2 hours of gaming(sarcasm) :p

seriously though..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Read the first 2 posts in the thread linked above by [MENTION=3340845]eddiehk6[/MENTION]

Lots of tips there.

But as others said....2 hours of gaming will make your battery drop like a rock.

There's things in that link that can help you squeak a little more out of your battery....but gaming is the worst thing you can do to your battery life. Nothing you can do about it....except not play. So, keep the screen dimmer....and keep your charger handy. ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mattshamwow:
I have a sprint note 2 on 4.3. I never got full root because of Knox. It blocked any attempt for me to download the binary for supersu. I want to unroot so I can take it into best buy to make an insurance claim to get a new one. I have to have the counter reset to zero and be reverted to stock revovery (I currently have twrp). I tried doing the OTA update, however the phone boots into the custom recovery and that does not allow the update to go through. Can anyone help me unroot my phone even though I never had full root?

This is very good work, i suggest you to put this on the xposed repo, so that you can push your updates directly through xposed installer

In that way, this will reach out to more of the android community and your work will be noticed and appreciated

Just as a a pre-rac' this technique is not new I actually seen this been done to an athlete in a documentary (bored youtubing' one day). The method was to use to use a clear finger bandage to help a heart rate monitor read faster. I thought to do the same after having the app on the watch reports it wasn't able to read. I just bought 2 Zagg screens, one for the front and the other to cover the heart rate cam and light on the bottom. Now no matter the condition; sweating, moving around, and est, my rate could be read. Problem solved. if this helps you after you try please hit the botton please.

Sorry for the delay. I finally tried this last night. While it does seem that it would help keep the sensor clean, the extra thickness makes it more difficult to put the charger on. I have removed it and will just wipe the sensor more often instead.

I stopped building SlimKat before the final release. The last build is RC1 so, I don't recommend running it because it is just a Release Candidate. During YP-G70 development during that time, I built SlimKat with the USA version of the Kernel and if you have an INT Player you needed to flash the accompanying INT Kernel. I believe that the installation instruction in the OP for SlimKat still apply but you might have a little trouble finding appropriate GApps...

[General Questions and Answers] zroe01:
Hey guys,

Hoping someone here might be able to help me get rid of the bane of my existence right now. I've been reading all over and using various methods other people seem to have had success with but nothing is working for me.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G from Virgin Mobile. I'm also responsible for 2 others that are having the same issue.

A while back I had rooted all our devices and put TWRP on them but have total stock rom.

A few weeks ago we all started getting this system update prompt that lets you install now or later. If we tried to install it with TWRP it just boots into TWRP. So I put the stock recovery back on and took the prompt and let it reboot. It begins installing but halfway through I get a red yield sign and it stops and reboots the phone. If we go this route the prompt usually doesn't show up again for days.

So I went and tried custom recovery and custom rom next. Didn't get the update on the custom rom until the next morning when I woke up. Went and got a perfect custom recovery/rom package for the phone and went total stock. Same issue as before where it gets halfway through and fails.

I've tried navigating to the root/cache folder as another thread suggested and renaming the update stored there but the update has never shown up in that directory.

Basically now, periodically this prompt continues to pop up, sometimes very frequently on the foreground of whatever you're doing on the phone and constantly reminds/annoys the hell out of us.

I'd take a screenshot but it hasn't reappeared in 2 days since I last took the update and it failed.

Appreciate any help from anyone!
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
Your phone needs to be stock for the update to work. No custom recovery, no root, no ROM. Flash back the official stock firmware and the update should work.

Everyone that uses a Qualcomm powered phone has issues with encryption. The hardware that Qualcomm uses for it is out of date and slow, its a know issue.

Is it really necessary to encrypt your phone anyway? Most of your data is somewhere else, be it in the cloud or otherwise linked to your Google account, its far easier for a hacker to gain access to your Google account by other means.
[G3 General] GieltjE:
For some people it really is important, my phone stores an ssh key which I use to tunnel al my data through a secure server. Also the key gives me access to quite a few servers for emergency maintainance.

Also there are people which have sensitive emails/data from their companies.
