Can I recover data from my own encrypted s5 Verizon phone (not rooted) w/password?

My s5 Verizon phone could not boot well recently so today I intended to clear system cache. I hold power + volume up+home buttons, maybe somehow it entered into download mode, so it warned me that install a custom os is risky and asked me to volume up to continue, or down to cancel(restart). I volumed down and now it rebooted, but all of sudden, my data is gone! It did not ask me for screen pin/password either as previously my phone was encrypted. (Or did I held power+volumn down to factory reset the phone? But I did not get a warning for that.

This factory reset was a surprise to me as I was not warned or told that they will wipe out the data.

Anyhow, my data is gone. Now I wanted to get it back.

Can I recover data from my own encrypted s5 Verizon phone (not rooted) w/password?

I know It's not difficult if it was not encrypted, as many third party tools can recover most of the data if the phone was not used much after reset.

I am wondering if anyone has any experience recovering data for an *encrypted* phone (with right encryption password though). Which tool can do that by prompting you the password for the encrypted data?

Here is the link regarding recovering data from factory reset: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2143188 However, I did not find a solution: what if the phone was encrypted and you do have the correct encryption password (if not I know it's almost impossible)?

Thank you in advance for your help!

My phone was encrypted but not rooted. I have the encryption password. Any chance to get the data back from the phone?

I powered down my phone now and will see how to proceed after I get experts opinion on this...

My question basically is, can I recover data from an encrypted phone after factory reset if I have the encryption password? Anyone can help?

Thank you guys in advance.

Anyone？
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljxd01:
I understand this is difficult, but I wanted to try before I give up.

I need experts here to shed some lights: is it still possible to recover the data from my encrypted phone after accidental factory reset, as I still have the screen PIN?

I know how to recover the data if the phone was not encrypted/not factory reset. I also somehow know how to decrypt the data inside the encrypted phone, but no way so far do I know if we can recover the deleted data from the encrypted phone if the files were deleted or the phone was factory reset, provided I still have the screen lock pin.

What I have done so far:

I rooted my sm-n900v

I also created a raw image in my pc using dd command

Next questions are,

where can I find the crypt footer (which partition), and how can I decrypt the deleted data after the factory reset?

Can I recover the deleted data from the encrypted phone first, but it looks like no tools can do that. All data recover tools like Recuva can only recover unencrrypted data.

Or should I first find the cryptor footer, figure out encryption key, but where should I find the deleted files first to decrypt from the encrypted phone?

I just came to realize what I was got into... This is the most difficult scenario to decrpt the deleted files from an encrypted phone. I do want to recover some very important files from the phone's internal/encrypted storage, regardless how stupid I look not backing up those very important data.

But if experts here say I am doing almost impossible thing... I will stop.

Thank you all for your attention.

BTW, my s5 ran Android 4.4 before, later upgraded to Android 5.0, a while ago before I recently accidentally factory reset. I just rooted it days ago after accidental factory reset.

...... If the above info will make a difference in solving my issues below.

Hi I am in the same position as you - have you had any luck at all?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delgoth:
From what I have read, the device encryption key is tied to the device Serial Number or Burned-In-ROM-Key. Meaning when you encrypt your device data, it encrypts the password in much the same way the device encrypts its "Verity Hash".

So from what I've gathered it is possible to do a factory data reset, encrypt your empty device using the same password as before, decrypt the empty device, and during that encryption/decryption phase:

Pull out the common denominator between the encrypted data you want to recover and the encrypted empty device, thus enabling you to derive the decryption key used for the data you'd like to recover.

Hi,

When I charge my Tytn II with the original charger everything goes normal. (i think). But when I use a different charger (also a 1 AMP so not a 120ma China thing) charging goes in 2% per hour.

Whats happening? is HTC using different or more wires ?

A possible downside would be slower storage performance as it will take longer to read and write your files, however generally if you have a decent phone this doesn't do anything significant.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zapz:
Hey there peeps,

I successfully upgraded to Android M yesterday and everything is working great (including the sensors), except for two things, which are the ones in the title on the thread.

After upgrading to Marshmallow I'm experiencing mini freezes and sound distortion in games.

The mini freezes don't last for long (less than half a second), but they can still be annoying, especially since it stops the sound too.

The sound distortion problem only occurs on game SFX (game music works fine) and it ends up making a repeated sound (as if the SFX would be overlapped and a bit robotic).

Also, the sound problem takes place only when I click on stuff, same with the mini freezes, they only occur when the game is loading something after I clicked on a button/opened a menu etc., if I let the phone sit idle in the game, it works just fine, so basically interracting with the game is causing both problems.

A few more things to mention: The problem happens frequently but completely random. Also music, videos and stuff like those are working fine. This only happens in games apparently.

Games i tested this in: Girls X Battle, Bloodline: The Last Royal Vampire and Panzer Waltz

I did a factory reset and same thing happens. What could be the problem?

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] GripR:
So I got my phone today and the screen was defective. I have to return it and re-order a new one. Problem is now I'm outside the promotional date. T-Mobile customer service said they can make a note on my new receipt/contract, so Samsung would still honor it. I'm kind of skeptical about that, so I wanted to check in with you guys.

Do you think if I send in my original receipt/contract will it work or should I just wait till another promotion comes?

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] programatix:
Hi,

Anyone noticed that the unrooted Note 7 transfer rate is very slow on SMB/CIFS (network sharing). Copying from a SMB server is around 200 kb/s. I usually get 3-5 mb/s on my Note 3 and Note 2 but both Note 3 and Note 2 are rooted.

A solution without rooting the phone is appreciated.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mdalacu:
Usually the smb protocol is embedded in the application not on the OS (so , the app could use an old library)....just try another file manager like Total Commander or FX File Explorer. The protocol itself it is very susceptible to latency ... big latency = very slow speed. Because of this reason you could try another protocol to transfer files like ftp or ssh (scp).
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Syntax Error 1:
I have the same exact problem. Doing benchmarks between my old Note 4 and my new Note 7 and I have extremely slow SMB/CIFS transfer speeds. I seem to be bottlenecked strictly to 10mbps or below, which is unusable for streaming any content from my home file server. It is not networking as far as I can tell since I can transfer at ten times the speed on my old Note 4 (100mbps+).

What's weird is that over FTP I can transfer much faster (not as fast as SMB/CIFS on my old Note 4, but about 40-50mbps). Another weird thing is when I first got the phone the slow CIFS/SMB transfer speeds wasn't an issue for the first week or so I had the phone but suddenly started to become a problem. I've done everything, trying to tweak Wi-Fi settings, restarting the phone, changing configuration on my home router. Nothing helps.

This is a weir, strange bug. I signed up on this forum just so I can reply to this thread, so in a way I'm glad I'm not alone in this, which means this is probably some software-related bug either in the OS or the phone that is artificially throttling SMB/CIFS transfer rates since I can never break 10mbps.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Jayde99:
I also signed up to post my similar issues. I've been going crazy over the past few days trying to figure out why my transfer speeds from my NAS were horrible while my old Note 3 was fine. Both my original Note 7, which was recalled, and this one have this issue. I get roughly 200-500 kbps down while my Note 3 is getting MBs higher. However, if I connect to it as an FTP through ES File Explorer (app I've used on both phones, even tried other ones to no success), I'm getting the speeds I should be getting. This is truly odd... I thought it was my router but it turns out to be Note 7 related. I've also noticed that if I use the app for my NAS (Synology) to connect to it, it uses an HTTP protocol, so I'm also getting the speed I need there too.

Hopefully there's an update in the future that address this. I don't mind using FTP but it's unfortunate that I spent so much diagnosing hardware and software to find out it's Note 7 related. :/

Unless of course I'm just missing something...

I have the LG-K540 (lg bridge shows it as LGUK750), it's cricket's version of the LG Stylo 2 (lg ls775), and I rooted it with kingroot, used the terminal script to switch to supersu, updated binary (failed), updated supersu after it failed to update binary, and it said successful, now my phone is bricked at the cricket screen. I can factory reset, and boot to download mode, but little good that does with NO stock firmware ANYWHERE.

-LG Bridge says update available but fails right when it starts the download, packet sniffing with wireshark returns only one http request and it is a redirect from cmsg.lg... to lg.com with no url to the firmware

-No stock firmware available on ANY WEBSITE ANYWHERE..

-No custom recoveries for CWM/TWRP for either the ls775 or k540

It's absurd, there's like 10 ways I can unbrick my phone, but they require firmware, or a custom recovery, or a functioning update tool... and none of them work.

If anyone can pull the firmware for me, or point me to a custom recovery, it would be much appreciated. If I can pull the ROM or rec img from download mode, let me know and i'll post it here.

YOU MUST HAVE ROOT ACCESS TO PROCEED

THIS WILL NOT WORK IF YOU DON'T HAVE ROOT

A MINIMUM TEMPORARY SPACE OF 400MB ON YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE IS REQUIRE FOR THIS BACKUP PROCEDURE

THIS PROGRAM IS FOR PARTITIONS BACKUP PURPOSES AND NOTHING ELSE ​

Hello everyone,

After trial and error and keep trying with lot of errors finally got this puppy working, backups 19 Partitions from your device, i don't know if the A2017 (chinese variant) have the same partition table but as far as i know and have seen the A2017U and A2017G does have the same partition table which is awesome for any Rom developers to work on things or any dev.

Steps:

1- Download the zip file from here 1CLick_Partition_Backup_v0.1

2- Decompress anywhere you want (i prefer in the root of drive C: )

3- Make sure you have enable USB-Debbuging

4- Plug your Device

4- Double Click 1click_PartitionBackup_by_DrakenFX.exe and watch the program run

5- When Done your Partition Back-up will be in you C:/a2017u_partitions_backup folder

6- DONE

This is just the beginning i may be adding more Options like Single backup or group backup.

NOTE 01 : I didn't add the system partition backup for the sole reason of been huge file 6gb at least and I can add system in future update as separate option.

NOTE 02 : I'm not a savvy when comes to dev. but if i can do something that can help other do things a little easier , i'll be around :o :)
