I lost a whole database that was 30 year old because I got lacksidaisical with backup.

Nothing to do but learn from your mistakes.

Always assume the data on the Android will be lost and backup redundantly to at least two hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. Keep a backup on the PC as well. You can never have too many backups!!!

Copy/paste then verify the file size and if readable.

Never clone data drives, Never password protect data drives...
[General Questions and Answers] WoKoschekk:
Since the files were deleted, either the new nor the old superblock holds any information about it. The best practice would be to search for raw data/file signatures on the partition. That's what file recovery tools do. But you need an unlocked bootloader and root or a custom recovery to get access on /dev/block/by-name/userdata. If you have access then it's a good idea to create an image of the block and use it for recovery actions.
[General Questions and Answers] tamilslvn:
You also mentioned this in another Android Data Recovery post that to make a image of the data partition.

I followed that instructions and went to successfully pull the image. First i unlocked the bootloader then installed a custom recovery ROM - OrangeFox TWRP, rooted the mobile using magisk and took the image (107 GB) !! Ok. What are the recovery actions ? Now what to do after taking the image ?
[General Questions and Answers] tamilslvn:
How to use it ?
[General Questions and Answers] WoKoschekk:
bootloader unlock erases your /data partition. Installing Magisk and use it means that /data gets encrypted again because you boot into system...

Since you want to recover photos (I assume *.jpg) you need to search for it's file signature FF D8 FF E0 with a hex editor.

that's what he did but with adb pull

Hi Guys ! Just a small status update. I learned some stuff about the 'Autopsy' software in YouTube and did the scan. After running the scan of the adb pulled image of data partition i don't know where to go on to the next step. P.S : I did take a look at the files in HxD Hex editor and i don't know how to find the header file and do the data recovery/extraction stuff. Help me with this situation.

He said your data image is encrypted. Open your image in HxD and make a screenshot of the first lines (Offset 0x00000).

Long story short our 2017 Alhambra works perfectly with my wifes Honor 20S but keeps dropping the connection on my P20 Pro. I thought it was my phone so a good excuse to grab a Nord 2T, sadly that is the same.

We remember her Corsa also has AA so we tried that and all 3 phones are perfect in her car. We have also tried different leads.

Any idea why the Alhambra seems to only play nice with older phones?

[Xiaomi Mi Pad Questions & Answers] Zaki_1212:
Hello! GHOST OPERATOR, I'm Zaki_1212.

I see you face the error 7 on your tablet. This is because the Check failed to determine your device model.

The only solution is to get back to the STOCK ROM & I'd like to guide you throughout the process.

If you are on the STOCK ROM then you can Skip the process below & reply when you're ready.

Also, you seem to be using the 2018-04-2017 version of the ROM which is outdated. So, I'd like to advise you to use the latest version of the ROM.

I have a Question to ask, do you have any OTG Cards? (OR any way to copy paste files to the device when it's in recovery) It would be easier to restore to the STOCK ROM with one of these. Otherwise, we will have to do the job manually (Which is very painful, but we can get through it.)

There's no cellular service on the pad, and no SIM slot, so I'm guessing there's no IMEI numbers, and that's just a placeholder in Android if there was.

What we can do? i have disabled everything everything even BT and Wi-Fi so its kinda useless because if i connect my S21 FE with my watch the battery will drain more faster than with turned off BT,

which make sense alright,

BUT when you have disabled everything why drain the battery so fast?

its the classic watch 44 with NFC not with LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] that_android_htc_fan:
Maybe because it needs system resources or your battery is not healthy.

You might need a new battery.

My carrier has a good deal on LTE GW5 Pro I'm considering

I've never owned a wear OS device and got my first android device in february this year. I immediately removed google play services and found most things I use work, including calls and SMS notifications, while a couple of other things need play services for notifications or initial app setup. I ended up figuring out how to install Micro G (with some help from the lovely XDA community.

I'd like to degoogle the GW5 as much as possible and use it exclusively for calls, sms, checking the time and wristlist.

I heard it might not pair with the wearables app properly (I believe this is needed to activate the esim) if it has bootloader unlocked or if it can't pass the google security check. Is it possible to pair with the app to activate the esim first and then start messing around with ADB to uninstall google services?

I think I heard it is possible to get microg working on GW4 with some limitations, is the same true for GW5?

Hi everyone!!

I'm a rooky with this. I'm currently using RUU_Kaiser_HyperDragon_III_BlackStone_WWE_20081203 rom. I'm currently getting Edge service. Is there anyone kind enough to help me or guide me through how to setup my HTC Kaiser 8925 into T-Mobile 3G network? is this possible?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JaceNSteale:
T-Mobile 3g configuration

hey... i have a tilt also and i have unlocked it and am using it with T-Mobile. It is my understanding that the tilt is incapable of operating on the T-Mobile 3g network as AT&T uses the 2100mhz frequency to both upload and download on their data network. T-Mobile uses 1700mhz and 2100mhz frequencies. One of them for uploads and one for downloads. I do not know which is which, but you would need to have both to function on T-Mobile. To the best of my knowledge the latest version of the factory unlocked kaiser has all the frequencies required to function on T-Mobile 3G network. I believe it is the 140 version.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sammypwns:
wrong answer. ATT doesn't use the 2100 band at all. Otherwise we wold all be importing phones like crazy. Tmobile has the 2100 band but it slightly off from the european version. There is no way to use Tmobile's 3g on the tilt.

BTW JaceNSteale you should know what your talking about before you start making assumptions as everything you said was incorrect. The only reason this angers me is because hacking these phones has become so easy you might cause someone to brick their device with some bad advice.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kenyan8980:
thanks for the answer everyone. one other question.

when i reconnect data connection or reboot my phone i do get G service but after few minutes my phone backs to Edge mode again. is there something that i could work with on the hardware part?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] shaell:
EDGE is faster than G which is GPRS. So when you phone boots up its using G then is negotiates a faster speed and starts using E.

Slow >>> Fast >>> Faster

GPRS(G) >>> EDGE(E) >>> 3G

Tilt AT&T to T Mobile

I paid cash for my Tilt and have had a contract with AT&T for 3 years, so I called and they gave me my unlock code with instructions to unlock my Tilt. It was a breeze.

I changed to Tmobile this week, and thought I did all my research......................but I can't get anything faster than Edge. This is very dissappointing!!!!! .... I use my phone as a tether to my Laptop.

From reading this post, looks like I'm stuck.

Question? .... If I got an unlocked Iphone, is there a way to unlock it so I can tether with it? ... and would it get 3g or HSPA.

The sad sad things is, I was using Kaiser Tweak with AT&T, and I was getting HSPA speed with internet. Amazing really .... so going down to Edge is like taking an inch on my privates. ha ha
[Samsung Galaxy S23] white-k:
I just got my Galaxy S23.

Previously I've always rooted all my phones. But my previous phone is old, so much may have changed in the last six years. So I'm trying to decide whether to root the S23 or not.

What are some pros and cons with rooting the Galaxy S23?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] pesa44:
If you want to have full control over your device, root is the way.

I, for example, want to have VPN and firewall on to controll which app and how can connect to internet, combining also with adblock and I simply has no other way to achieve that.

Also I found it outrageous not to have full control over device I paid for.

Cons are that you will loose Samsung Pay and Pass. The rest of the Samsung goodies is patchable to get working through Knox patch. And you won't be able to get to pre-unlocked state cause your Knox status will be permanently changed. And also you will have to install all updates manually. And, obviously, your warranty will be void.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] white-k:
Good response. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S23] ValouSydney:
No need to root nowadays, you can install any apps, modded apps by just allowing unknown sources.

Apps such as Spotify mod to get somewhat access to premium, Youtube Vanced...don't require root access.

Also apps such as Greenify, adBlocks offer non-rooted mode - even if not as powerful it isn't a deal breaker.

But mostly losing access to the Pay apps (Samsung Pay...) is a big issue to me and there is no way back!

I used to root my devices but really I don't feel like it's necessary anymore.

I'm yet to hear about an app, customisation that would motivate me enough to root my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Me Gusta:
Lol, you forget that people thinking this is probably less than 1% of the people. The rest of the people just want a phone that works.

Not having root access is a security and safety thing, as being able to change root files could end up with people bricking their phone if they don't know what they're doing.

Personally, I feel the same as @ValouSydney

Currently, there's barely any need for root as all good apps/features are already available within android and the play store.
