[General Questions and Answers] libertine5:
Hi.

I mistakenly flashed my Android Galaxy On5 (using Odin's "AP" option) with one of the Exynos files. I saw something about "userdata" and knew immediately I had made a mistake, even though I did not load anything in the Odin "userdata" option. Why I did this probably isn't relevant, but I'm happy to provide more detail.

My question, however, is a simple one: Having done this, is it still possible to recover the user data that is no longer visible on the phone? When I reboot the phone without TWRP, it looks like it has been factory reset.

The phone is rooted, and I can see the device shares with "df". I can't see any secondary SD card based on the information I found about it sitting on top of where the SIM card is installed. I have done plenty of computer data recoveries from hard disk.. But every tool I have downloaded online for the Android seems to be polluted with malware, and I even reimaged my desktop because of all the crap I've tried.

Do you have a recommended tool for this that isn't some horrible marketing ploy? Minitool, Dr.Fone, FonePaw, and Kingoroot were all unsuccessful.

Also, if the data resides on an internal SD card, how is it formatted? I assume it is not a typical EXT or NTFS file system. Can you tell me which device I should be trying to recover from? It looks like /dev/block/mmcblk0p21.

If the internal storage is inaccessible, another thought I had was to do a block copy (with dd) onto a separate SD card, but I am unsure of whether this would provide a copy of the overwritten data, or would it actually reduce my chances of recovery.

The phone is a Samsung Galaxy On5 (SM-G550T).

Much of the data is non-critical, but some of it is unfortunately irreplaceable. Again, I'm really looking for a "yes" or "no" here, either data recovery is possible or not. And of course any suggestions on how to do it are greatly appreciated. The time it took to flash was almost instantaneous, but I also realize that flash drives are different from spinning drives in terms of how data is written and stored.

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] libertine5:
If you haven't any advice on how to do it, just a simple "yes" or "no" as to whether a recovery is possible would be greatly appreciated. There must be a few forum readers out there who know the answer to that question. Anyone? Bueller?
[General Questions and Answers] mohhaxs:
If you wiped out userdata, that means all your data is gone. I know for computers, deleting data doesn't necessary delete the data, but rather makes the space unallocated, meaning new data can be written over it. Not 100% sure if they have something similar for Android. If you have google synced with your account, you can recover most of your data that way, otherwise you might be out of luck.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] volt26:
Hello everyone. I'm not proud of myself and I usually, my "google skills" are enough to get me out of trouble but this time it doesn't and this community is my last resort.

I bought a Pixel (not 2, not XL, the first Google Pixel) and soon enough, I wanted to root it. It's the second phone I root, the first one was my Nexus 6 (and before that I jailbreaked my iPhone 4).

Long story short. I'm stuck on a bootloop with 2 screens : 1st screen is the warning that tells your bootloader is unlocked (see img : i.imgur.com/OL2knAo.png )

2st screen is the Google logo (see img i.imgur.com/RpEsddD.png )

A few seconds later, it reboots and starts over.

I ended up here by following this 5 minutes video guide : youtube.com/watch?v=FcK4yIoror8

My problems started when I was done with step 4 (before I could install the Gapps step).

Then I looked around and found a guide I was able to follow step by step with no problem (source : youtube.com/watch?v=CqVhugWJidQ ). Unfortunately, the same issue remains. I get that bootloop.

I'm out of ressources. I don't understand what I did wrong. I follow steps very carefully. I read that my phone isn't bricked as long as I can access it via adb (which I can do). I can still use the adb sideload twrp*.img command and get in TWRP. I tried many images so far and none can get me inside the OS.. Here is the list of the roms I tried :

pa_sailfish-7.1.2-RELEASE-20170530-signed

pa_sailfish-7.2.1-RELEASE-20170720-signed

sailfish-nde63h-factory-43ba5f81

RR-O-v6.0.0-20180313-sailfish-Official

The first 3 gave me the bootloop I talked in previously while the Resurrection Remix (RR) at least gave me some sort of recovery mode as you can see here (i.imgur.com/QJ9mRxD.png) but I still can't get into my phone...

I also tried flash-all.bat and I still have that bootloop after this batch did its thing...

By the way, I see there are tons of Sailfish roms (for Google Pixel). Could it be that my Pixel can only take a specific one? I have no way of guessing if one rom is superior to the other. The only hint I have is the file name..

Also, odds are low but if you live near Montreal are feel like you can help me and do it yourself, I will gladly pay you for your work. Otherwise, I'm open to try anything suggested here that can get me out of this mess.

Thank you very much for your time!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] volt26:
Update 1 : well, I found an answer to my question on reddit.

I was able to restore everything by using the lastest factory image for Pixel 8.1.0 (OPM2.171019.029, Apr 2018). I tried many others before this one (they were earlier releases) with no success.

I have no idea why the lastest worked, but it did. It's a huge relief for me..

Now though, I would still like to root it.. But I am much more scared to try it until I find out what mistep I did... Any idea?

Thank you
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] daver68:
If you're bootlooping, sometimes you might be on the wrong slot. Check TWRP to see if you're in Slot A or Slot B. I found in the past that after flashing something, it switches you to Slot B, so if you reboot into System, there's no system there to boot into...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] zacadams:
Would anyone know if the Galaxy S9 natively supports user profiles so that multiple users can login and use the same phone with their unique settings and apps? If not would anyone be able to recommend an application that could accomplish this?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Rapier:
The functionality has been disabled for stock Samsung ROMs long time ago (if it was ever enabled). There were some discusions in the past regarding this and what I remember is that you need root for this to work. You have to edit build.prop and include the lines:

fw.show_multiuserui=1

fw.max_users=n (where "n" is a number indicating the max users on device - should be at least 2)

Alternative is to flash an AOSP based ROM that has the function enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] zacadams:
I unfortunately cannot root the device as it will be provisioned for company use :/ is there a launcher that could help to accomplish this?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Rapier:
Sorry, none I know. The functionality is deep embeded in the OS, a launcher would not be enough to accomplish that

You could however use dual accounts for certain apps or mail and also use Secure Folder to lock out personal/private data. This way you will have some sort of multi user since the secure folder keeps data in separate encrypted form

There are a plethora of various restore to stock articles on here but some have missing links to software and most involve using Windows, etc.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Use my restore guide if you have an A2017G. If you have an U you could find the flashable files too, but idk.

It's basically: get into TWRP, wipe data, system, cache, dalvik, then flash raystef's bootstack zip, then his stocksystem zip, then the stock recovery img from one of those versions. Then go to the Reboot section and select reboot to recovery, you'll get into the stock one. Select factory reset, and you're done.

You didn't mention it but I guess you wanted to relock? If you do, I think this is enough, but you might want to reinstall TWRP with your PC and follow the "remove unlocked bootloader inscription" guide by raystef, which basically gives you fastboot back. Then flash the stock recovery img again
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jonnjonzzn:
I've seen your guide before. It is what I was going to follow but then I don't believe I could find the equivalent files for A2017U. I'll look again this evening.

DrakenFX made the U flashables. And you can get the recovery img from a stock system file, e.g. b32 or b35, just open the zip and you should find a recovery.img, then install it via Install - Install image

I second this question. I know there are quite a few threads about cross-flashing and similar stuff, but there are some things that are still not clear to me, even after reading these threads, so I decided to use this already existing thread to join in and ask more or less the same:

- is it safe to cross-flash regions? In my case I have TWN and thought about flashing India.

- Which region is most supported by LG? Looking at the firmware update history I would say India, can anyone confirm?

- Did anyone from Europe (in my case Germany) cross-flash and did any problems occur afterwards?

- will I still get OTAs after changing region if I'm in fact in another region?

Thanks for your help guys!

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ergalthema:
Yes, I meant to follow up and say the same thing - even with the stock launcher, changing the Display setting just allows the icons to rotate - the wallpaper remains portrait. Really bummed that the wallpaper can't rotate to landscape. Android should allow that kind of customization.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] codesight:
Android does allow it I suppose. As I said, it works on my S8. Therefore I think the source of the problem is either related to Samsungs S9(+) or the carrier modifications.
