Not being disrespectful to you, but this forum isn't for you to find out how to recovery data after reset. Try to google or YouTube to see if someone has any method out there. Your chances are very low.

How can I restore an Android phone's pictures after a factory data reset?

Originally Answered: How do I retrieve an Android phone data (media) after a factory reset?

Factory reset will delete the files by making them in-accessible to programs and apps. The actual file contents are not deleted, they reside in memory until the OS write some new files over it. So the file contents actually exist after a factory reset and there are software available that will scan the file system and look for deleted files.

Few such software are MobiSaver, Yodot Recovery, Jihosoft Android Phone Recovery etc..

That's lovely

My saying it was foreign to me was not criticism, I was making it clear that I was out of my element. Which is even more clear to me now as y'all a bunch of **** throwing monkeys.

I clicked because I saw the word in the heading, but didn't see within post. I happen to be panicking, but some don't have the sense to get past pointing out my mistake. I would think after one person said it, it would be a moot point. Ha.

If you guys are over the age of 22 and still this disrespectful, congratulations on reaching full grown idiothood, as you depart from civilized society.

Zfk110, I appreciate your help, but I've already googled and YouTubed. My version of Note9 is the... is it bootlocked(?) one. -Don't feel like looking up the term again and I've got to give the idiots a bone right. I've recovered some stuff with free dr phone, I'm not sure if paid version will work for my phone, so I was trying to unlock it. Just going to pay I guess, as this was my second to last hope. I know this thread is not for me. ;) I came here to ask for, -even pay for, help. Obviously in the wrong place.

I hope the rest of you were able to follow my long sentences):

Stuck at step 5

Hello all,

So I finally decided to root my note 9. I've been using xda and (apparently i cant post other sites) .com as a guide for dummies. I have the right Odin, I have the right files, and I'm extra sure that I'm following the steps correctly (when read all at once, it really does seem so simple!).

After I flash the combo, it restarts and goes goes into a "factory binary" menu

Then I run the root bat and everything runs successfully, then it goes back into download mode.

I keep the phone connected and I untick reboot (in Odin) and attempt to flash the bootstrap. I hold the bottom volume button and the power button, and when it shuts off i keep my thumb on the power button and put my other finger on the top volume button.

The screen either stays black at this point, or reads "SS RDX Unknown error"

I took a look at some of the files, and maybe its because the files only end in .tar and not .md5?

Maybe I'm not placing my fingers fast enough after the flash?

Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much!

It says I only have 13 apps installed idk what happened
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] elliwigy:
you need to also hold the bixby button..

md5 extension doesnt matter at all.. if still having issues start over from the beginning
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] rootroot97:
Thank you for the advice! After I get the ss rdx error i power it off and then go directly back into download mode.

I go to odin, check and press AP, click combo. I make sure auto reboot is on and I flash.

Then it goes to factory binary. Here I go to the extreme folder and click root installer. Sometimes theres an error but all i do is just reconnect the usb and its says 6 files are pushed, success!

Then it goes back into download mode. I uncheck auto reboot, i click boot image swap,and as soon as I click start in odin, I have my fingers on both the volume down button and the bixby button. When it says done I press the power button so it can shut off, and as soon as the screen goes black I move a finger to the top volume button while keeping the power button and bixby button pressed down. I hold it down and I dont let go. The screen stays black. I let go, still black screen. This is where Ill just start clicking random buttons until i can get the phone to turn on again or show me the ss rdx error screen.

If I have to do this 100 times I am certainly willing too, I just want to make sure I am doing it right, and it may just be a matter of timing when it comes to pressing the buttons.

Edit: Maybe I'm supposed to close Odin and the bat installer when I'm done with them?

Thanks a bunch!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] jrkruse:
You said there are errors when running the bat. What kind of errors?

Sent from some device I modified
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] rootroot97:
it would say that the device is not detected when it is. or say device is "offline"

I've been downloading the stock firmware for about 12 hours now, with 5 more to go lol. I guess I'll just try it some other time. I really tried though.

Did it take any of you this long to get it down? Am i just making this more complicated?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] jrkruse:
You are going to have to be more specific. When you run the bat file are there errors. Like do you see anything about something being denied or cannot find the the file or location? Then odin is different. Are you getting errors in Odin?

Sent from some device I modified
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] rootroot97:
I appreciate you responding so fast. I have never received a single error in Odin. Not one, which is awesome.

Root bat runs pretty smooth as well, its just that sometimes when im going through the steps the root bat says "error:device is offline" or "adb error: failed to get feature set: device offline"

But at that point (while the note 9 is in factory binary) i just take the usb out of the note 9, put it back into to the note 9, and then i run the root bat again with no problems. It runs, it boots out of the "factory binary" and goes back into download mode, where i try to flash the boot image.

Volume down + bixby button while it loads. Then I press the power button , while continuously holding those other two buttons.

The screen shut off.

Then, while holding the power and the bixby, I move the finger that was holding the volume down button to the volume up button, and I hold, and I hold , and I hold. The screen either stay black or goes to ss rdx unknown error.

Is there a tip or trick to how fast i should be switching my fingers?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Peezoslug:
In developer settings sometimes you need to toggle the adb button off then on before trying to install the .bat file. It's just a weird glitch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] elliwigy:
the upload mode screen is normal sometimes since holding vol down and power for 7 seconds or more while on combo triggers upload mode.

after the bat file and it goes to dl mode flash the bootswap file with auto reboot unchecked. dont hold any buttons during this time.

once odin says successful and pass now hold vol down and power until.screen goes black then immediately press and hold vol up power and bixby until you see the combo boot animation.

if it goes to upload mode again wait til u see green writing that says done then hold vol down and power until screen goes black then immidiately hold vol up power and bixby again until you see combo boot animation..

if still having issues from upload mode hold vol down and power until screen goes black but this time dont press anything and it should boot into recovery. from here try wiping data.. then select power off..as soon as screen turns off/goes black immediately hold vol up power n bixby until you see combo boot anination..

sometimes timing needs to be just right.. you can try as soon as screen goes black when resetting hold vol up power and bixby for about 10 seconds then let go.. i usually count by saying 1 1 thousand, 2 1 thousand, 3 1 thousand until i get to 10 then let go..

it can be tricky as sometimes holding buttons too long can trigger upload mode/kernel panic. If u try a lot and still not working unfortunately when this happens to be i start completely over i.e. flash combo again, run bat, flash bootswap etc etc.. we know it works so unless theres something wrong with ur pc or cable or downloads etc then that will be a bit harder to troubleshoot on our end without full details
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] 11mackey11:
I did the process 10 to 12 times. Not kidding. I had best results letting the phone boot Into the recovery screen every time the process called for 3 button press to boot into "recovery". Aka rooted rom, then powering off, then 3 button combo to Samsung screen. The first couple times I was as successful it seems to be really unstable and temperamental. So I took out sim card and put I to my back up phone so I could mess with the note.

Took sim out. Completely wiped cache and factory reset to start all over from scratch. Went through whole process. Any time it needed to boot into recovery I let it boot into recovery screen. Then powered off. Then 3 button combo until Samsung logo. This worked much easier than trying to capture the 3 buttons at right time after a flash reboot or script reboot. If I landed on an ssr error what ever the letters are it said "press power for 7 sec", "kernal panic", or "modem error" got out of that screen by pressing power+volume down until screen went black then let go. It will boot into recovery screen. Then I powered off through that screen. Then 3 button combo to "recovery" booted rooted rom every time.

After I figured that out I had kernal panic and error screen everytime I would get a notification. Or the screen would just go black and never come back. Ha I made a funny. Then would reboot to error screen. Would hold power+vol down to reboot to recovery screen. Then power down. Then 3 buttons to recovery. My fingers are starting to hurt at this point lol.

The last time I got booted into rooted rom I followed another guys comment in this post. Though titanium back I froze/disabled AOD and device maintenance and have not had any issue since. I've been running screen2auto through android auto on my dash and all my other root apps with no issues. Finally stable. And works great.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Andy6ts:
This is very great work. It would be great if there were a way to exploit the locked bootloader once you have obtained root because well you know then you wouldn't have to hold three buttons to turn your device on and off... and not to mention TWRP... I rooted using this exploit and lost my efs folder.. and I'm struggling to try and restore it as I deleted my backup that was on an sdcard on accident.... TWRP could really help. Or any other ways anyone knows to restore the efs of this sm-n960u.. pain in the ass
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] elliwigy:
there hasnt been a bootloader exploit since the S4 so good luck on that front.

Also this method doesnt touch efs so you mustve did something on your end to mess it up. Youre the first person to even mention it so dont blame it on the root method lol.

Also, you need efs image to flash in odin which i do not provide. u can probably find one online someehere if you search.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] Andy6ts:
Yeah it wasn't the exploits fault.. definitely use error. There's no problem with this method I've infact done it several times now... I'm just pissed about this note 9 fancy paperweight I got that I'm probably gonna have to part out.. but this exploit, it's good.

Defeat

Hello all,

I really did try to the best of my ability to root the phone , but it was to no avail. Now I'm using a 30$ cricket wireless phone until my next check to get a note 10+ lol! It's gotten to the point where even trying to unroot the device is difficult. My log in odin looks something like - >abl.elf > FAIL log.This has gone on long enough haha. I'm super jealous of you guys who got it down with no issue , but it is what it is. Thanks again you guys, stay safe during this pandemic and forever after.

PS: I went on updato and sammobile to see if maybe I downloaded the wrong att file for the stock firmware, and my actual phone model # says N960USQU3ASJ1 while the att firmware provided on updato and sammobile says N960USQU1ARG6. Maybe it's that, maybe its brand new cable I use to connect to the laptop (even though its not samsung ), maybe it's the port on this brand new,non buggy, Asus laptop. I have new clue. Anyways, gracias.

then phone boot to recovery mode only.

Is there a source for the rom and a source for the kernel? I've been thinking of making it, but would it even be flashable, and/or boot? I don't think it will run an unsigned ROM since bootloader is locked... lmk i might spin up a debian vm to compile.

not that i think it can even be flashed without, but would system tweaks and kernel changes also be ok (assuming the former is even possible)? If I can add something to /priv-app prior to flashing, i don't need root lol, just pre-load stuff into it. but then there is verity and all the noise sigh
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] jrkruse:
Your more than welcome to request the source for kernel from Samsung but I doubt they will release it since its from combo firmware which is leaked. Good luck getting the source code for the Samsung rom as they don’t release it.

I did everthing and am able to boot into rooted T-mobile on oreo with volume up biby button and power but if just push power button boots to recovery. I thought was suppose to boot to stock? does that matter does it serve purpose could you be on stock android 10 non root with just power button and then android 8 rooted with button combo.

More importan though I am confused about how to get specific carrier working. I have note 9 N960U and want to use this root with sprint but only download is for rooted T-mobile rom.

I read through entire fourm with some saying did this root for sprint but nothing about how to get this working with Sprint?

Last anybody know of custom rom with android 9, 10 with sprint. I saw first post speaks of running pie gsi is that the only one and does that work with sprint also. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels, ] elliwigy:
You should just go back to stock.. you don't seem to have any clue what this all means, no offense of course.

Without going into details, the op clearly indicates to flash the "boot swap" file which you did.. this is required for root. To boot oreo rooted you need to hold recovery buttons each time you restart device.. the recovery partition is flashed to boot so of course if u try to boot normal it will boot to recovery.

No you cannot dual boot oreo and Q.

The rom has multi csc just like every other samsung device since so. If you are having carrier issues then I can't help there and is most likely not an issue with the room and is outside the scope of this thread. As you stated others have reported it works on sprint, I've tested on ATT and I am sure other carriers have been tested and worked so indicates something you missed or issues with your carrier or who knows.

This isn't a "tmobile" rom, it is a multi csc rom.

This is a root thread, not a sprint rom thread or carrier network support or gsi etc. Root has worked for you so this thread has served its purpose.

You can either make your own "rom" or try various gsi if you want, but plz keep that discussion elsewhere since its off topic here.

Thanks

Thank you for for answering my dumb questions. I appreciate your hard work in figuring all this out. I have rooted mostly every galaxy note released and while I do not understand how it all works I was able to follow direction to get it working first time. I just was unable to activate with sprint and and in past there use to be a specific rom for each carrier to flash but I figured it worked for all because people were saying it worked with Sprint. I think problem may be that I did root before activating new phone I got from ebay. I am not sure why that would matter it could just be the phone. I will try flashing back to stock and see if I can activate it with Sprint then if it activates will do root again. Thanks

fused 4 binary 3

Hi,

Note 9 on Android 10 and I'm on step 2 and when I try to flash using odin I get FAIL! (Auth) on Odin and (abl) fused 4 > binary 3. I have seen other similar errors say that I am using an out of date file. I am curious if the files in the zip are out of date or what exactly is causing this error. I am a SW Eng by trade but I have not until just now started working on phones. I am doing this because my wife's phone decided to factory reset itself and I'm trying to recover pictures. For the record if there is a tool to recover the pictures/video/ect from her phone that still exist post factory reset that does not require root access I am all ears for that rather than rooting her phone but my searches turned up nothing. I welcome any information in advance.

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------

For the record I tried with frija and the firmware it found threw the error. When I used N960USQS4DTD5 that I downloaded from elsewhere it lets me install that, but then fails when I tried to install the combo firmware from the package? Or is that out of date and where there should be a rev 4 now?
