At this point if the pictures are that important I would power down the phone and give it to a data recovery specialist. Any more mistakes may make recovery impossible if it is now.

Do not use online apps that claim to be able to do this!

If the jpegs that haven't been overwritten already can be recovered, it will be only the image. All file structure, exif data, time stamps, etc are lost in a sea of juxtaposed data. Only file types and file size can be searched for in the recovered data. This alone is a daunting task. The images have no time structure at all. Only memory can separate and index them back to order.

It's a rude shock... to the neat, organized data that once existed.

The magnitude of this is enormous. Even a flash card with a 120 images is a true pain to reconstruct and of limited value without the exif data. I need a stiff drink just thinking about it... always redundantly backup critical data. Never encrypt data drives.

Maybe your friend did back them up on Google at one point. Worth a shot, on a different phone/PC. Remember every second the victim phone is on is a second it can be overwriting data! Even after Backup Transport is disabled I've seen Google servers retain that data in spite of the warning to the contrary. If deleted on Google it's self... that's a question for Google.

I loathe cloud services and don't use them now.

I want to root my a52 5g (SM-A526B/DS)
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] freecap:
Yes it can, just follow this tutorial.

Installation

The Magic Mask for Android

topjohnwu.github.io

Any phone can be rooted, as long as you can unlock the bootloader.

Please read the instructions on the page carefully and don't skip any text. All of it is important.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] SnikkerCC:
I unlocked the bootloader from the dev settings but then i found out twrp does not seem to support the 5g edition
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] freecap:
You don't need TWRP to root this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] SnikkerCC:
Don't i brick the phone then?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] freecap:
How would you brick it? Please read the guide I linked, it's a very simple process
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] SnikkerCC:
Ok thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] SnikkerCC:
I'm having some problems with the guide, it doesn't give a tutorial with the stock ROM it only show custom ROM
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] SnikkerCC:
And... the stock rom from my SM-A526B/DS is not anywhere online
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] freecap:
View attachment 5426313

This is what you care about. This is not a custom ROM, you are literally downloading the stock ROM and patching Magisk on it.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] SnikkerCC:
The stock rom is not available with that tool

only a52 4g
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] freecap:
What tool? Use this one. Your model number is SM-A526B. Put that in there and then select your region, but be careful not to select a carrier-locked version.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] SnikkerCC:
Ok i will look at it
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] Ryola:
Stock ROM is also available on both sammobile and samfw to download. Which is where I got mine when I rooted the same model. You will also need universal safteynet magisk module to pass safteynet.

Edit: if you know how you only need to extract the boot file from the firmware convert it to a .tar and patch that. Much easier than the whole ap file
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] Thanhtruong267:
I also tried everything but failed. hope someone can help, at least twrp for A528b
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] Thanhtruong267:
i have done but A528B is not like other phones. i get stopped at the boot screen, after a few minutes it turns itself off. can't succeed with patchwork magisks
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] SnikkerCC:
What does tripping knox do?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] Ryola:
It blocks you from using some Samsung apps. Like Samsung pay. Secure folder. Samsung health
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] SnikkerCC:
And fingerprint sensor? Because it says knox on it
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] Ryola:
No my fingerprint sensor is working in all apps
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] gee2012:
Try frija and download a stock rom for your device. Then unpack cp.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] Thanhtruong267:

[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] rumplebuttskin:
Thanks for this.

I'm stuck, because there is no "OEM unlocking" option visible in Developer Options. Any ideas?

My phone is the Galaxy A52 5G (SM-A526U1), running Android 11.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] freecap:
Didn't happen to me, but I heard you had to wait one week after connecting your phone to Wi-Fi for the first time ever. How new is your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] rumplebuttskin:
OK, that could be it -- I've had it for about a week, but I did a factory reset a couple days ago. I'll report back on whether the OEM Unlocking option appears in a few days.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] doubledragon5:
I have had mine since the end of Sept, and mine does not show OEM unlock period. in Dev options.. Maybe it is because it is a T-Mobile phone, and the fact, the I have only had Dev options enabled for about 4 days...
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] freecap:
I don't think unlocking the bootloader of a carrier-locked phone is possible. See this thread. You might have to call T-Mobile and ask them to unlock your phone.

Edit: Also check this thread reply
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] doubledragon5:
I figured as much. But I do remember, some phones you could still see the OEM unlock option even though it was grayed out. I wonder if it will be possible when it is paid off.

[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] freecap:
To fix the bootloop download the stock firmware again and flash it without making any modifications using Odin. As for why you got bootloop, it is not clear which step failed.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] giorgiob:
That's right. It fixes bootloop when install Stock ROM, my plan was to get root. Still don't know if anyone successful rooted.

No "OEM Unlock" option ever appeared in my Developer Options menu. I've had the phone for a couple months. My phone is not carrier-locked, it's an unlocked A52 5G (SM-A526U1).

So, guess I won't be rooting it. Fortunately there's a lot of good no-root options available nowadays for ad-blocking and such, so I've put together a setup I can live with.

For blocking ads, you could try setting a private DNS server, like adguard, in your settings.

Personally I use NextDNS, set up on my router and phone, instead of AdGuard just because I like all the various settings and logs. It's paid though whereas AdGuard is not.

[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] HermanBurgers:
I Just succeeded in rooting the sm-a528b. Use frida to download the latest firmware (Android 12). Flash it using latest version of odin, unlock bootloader (oem unlock, usb deb. Enabled), install magisk 24.1.

Patch the boot.img, copy patched file to computer.

I went into the factory recovery, factory reset the device, put the device om download mode, flashed the entire firmware with Odin, including the pit file, flashed the csc_home file, rebooted, go back again to download mode,

Flash the boot.img file (compressed as a tar file) again as an ap file in Odin and there it was. Installed the magisk.apk file. Open the magisk manager, let it run a few more scripts and you got a working magisk rooted sm-a528B!
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] HermanBurgers:
Hahaha, You are absolutely right, I stopped reading this post at page 2, with your comment that you where unsure if rooting the a52s 5g was even possible. When I did succeed, I just wanted to share this with my fellow enthousiast. Nevertheless, nice job Arobase40!

This is an app that puts widgets like the Omnia on the today screen. The only issue is that it doesn't support VGA yet (hence the reason for the post). I used SecondToday to get another today screen, loaded FEWidgets, and mapped the top volume key to go back and forth between TF3D and the today screen with FEWidgets. It worked liked a charm, with no lag or hesitation. The widgets worked fine by controlling comm devices like bluetooth and WIFI. The only thing you may have to change is the wallpaper in the programs folder in order to get VGA (480x640) wallpaper to cover the whole screen (once you get them in the folder there is actually a widget you can change them with). FEWidget does use the entire screen, so other today screen plugins can not be used. The only problem is the widgets are small (QVGA), and looking to you guys to find a solution. I haven't had a chance to look at the files, but I will to see if the widget icons can be manipulated. It is damn cool though. A simple button press takes you to another screen with widgets!!!!! The Diamond engine handles it so well, it should have been intergrated. Here is the link to the thread, and all credit goes to nicodega for an awsome app.

[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] optimumpro:
The rom could be used on locked bootloader with ROOT (donate feature) with or without Gapps.

The benefits of LOCKED BOOTLOADER combined with WORKING AVB-2 protection are:

Get back your DRM L1 certificate. Most banking apps will work regardless of Magisk.

Security: Nobody and nothing can modify Kernel, Recovery and Virtual Partitions without triggering a red screen of death with the message 'your device is corrupted and cannot boot'.

At that point, the only option is to unlock bootloader. But, if a user had previously disabled OEM unlock in Developer settings, then unlocking becomes unavailable, and so does flashing via fastboot. In other words, if your phone gets into the hands of an adversary, their only option is to use MSM tool to make the phone work again, but no access to your data or any other partition.

Why prebuilt Magisk? Because you can't modify kernel or recovery on locked bootloader post installation, and that's exactly what Magisk does.

See attached som screenshots:
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] CDI-78:
Gonna try !
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] CDI-78:
System navigation don't work,
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] optimumpro:
Everything works fine. You just need to toggle back and forth navbar in Settings/RomContro/Navigation bar. As far as the rest, you can switch to 2, 3 buttons or Gesture navigation.

Also, it would make sense to search for settings first. For example, type 'Gestures' in Settings/Search, and you'll get about 10 different settings.

You can do edge gestures. You can pick out of variety of actions to assign to edge gestures including 'kill app' etc.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] CDI-78:
That's what i've done,

Flash twice, whithout gapps, and with open gapps,

Try to enable 3 gestures, navigation bar, switch, reboot,

Nothing to do, will try again later,

Thx.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] optimumpro:
I just checked on my Oneplus 8: everything switches fine without reboot. Also, my Kebab tester didn't mention he couldn't switch between buttons and gestures.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] optimumpro:
Actually, this is what the tester initially said:

However, when I told him about additional settings that he can configure even the sensitivity of edge gestures separately on the left and right, and enable haptic feedback, everything became normal. So, clearly he could switch between gestures and buttons.

Did you do factory reset aftery initial flashing? You also need factory reset after installing Gapps for the first time.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] CDI-78:
I usually factory reset before flashing,

Will come back on this rom on thursday, maybe tomorow in the evening.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] phabet:
pls. add single tap feature (oneplus settings), rom is very smooth, i like it

[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nujackk:
Ok couple quick questions.

With locking the bootloader magisk will still work as usual?

Which webview alt do you recommend? And why? (Haven't heard of the vanadium until now and quick look makes it seem like might not have some functionality outside of graphene os)
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] optimumpro:
Yes. Magisk is already in kernel. You just need to install Magisk manager as a normal app, and you have root. So, there is no need to flash it. In fact, if you flash Magisk on locked bootloader, you won't boot.

Just because Graphene's developer says no use outside of Graphene doesn't make it so. I have no Googleplay on my phone and use Vanadium on Jaguar with zero issues. But Vanadium is known for blocking some Google servers, which breaks account registration. So, for users who want Gapps etc, it's Bromite, which is enabled by default.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] optimumpro:
The reason there is no single tap is to prevent false positive screen wake-ups, when the phone is in your pocket or from other accidental touches.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nujackk:
Thank you, that is exactly info i need. I won't install this till weekend when i have more time to tinker. But I'm assuming there is way to do the donation and activate the features in the rom?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] optimumpro:
But of course: either PM or there is a clickable option in Settings/System.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Daystars:
How do you install gapps with your rom? I keep getting not enough space errors when I try.

Using TWRP, then adb sideload from recovery.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] optimumpro:
As I said in another Oneplus 8 thread, the whole rom is optimized for performance, not size. It is also heavily deodexed for the same purpose. If a normal system app has 20mb, deodexed, when odexed, it will grow into 60mb. So, it is possible that System partition doesn't have enough space.

A release with reworked partition sizes is coming. For now use PICO Gapps. After installation, you can add items you like from Playstore, which will go to Data partition that has plenty of space.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] hightech316:
Can't wait to try this ROM.

All the extra hardening and security are a important and unique feature .

I have noticed on the screenshots at displays relock bootloader, how does that exactly work? A script ? run the fastboot commands needed to lock the bootloader?

Thanks for the release
