hi all,
i'm glad that i've found you !
i've got a big problem:
i made a backup using sd backup, then i made a hard reset.
this have i done, because i get always the information that my flash-rom memory is full (store data permanently: contacts, calendar)
because of this i made a backup using sd backup storing all my informations and data on the sd card using this program.
then i testet my pda again, syncronizing with the pc and i stored all my contacts and appointments on the pda.
i was wondering because i got the information again that my backup ram is full.... (but there is nothing else on the pda, only winCE)
i thought "Shxxt" and became frustrated.
now i wanted to write my data back to the pda, because i wanted only to do this test, what will happen if there will be nothing else on my pda stored.
here begins my problem:
i've stored a lot of sms/mails in my pda which i want not to loose, only for this i made this backup (i never use again this badly program!)
i'm having now a 20 MB backup file which won't be written back to my pda. i have already done the following:
formatting the sd card (size 128 MB) using a card reader on FAT and FAT32, but the file won't be read.
then i connected the pda to the syncstation and transferred the file to the card, which is sitting in the xda.
which way i'm going, the xda tells me every time, he cand read the file.
now i'm asking you, how to get the mail / sms from the file.
where are they stored ? can i read them manually ?
maybe i can use a program which can read data from these backupfiles which are called: CompactFlashBackUpNew
maybe i can use a "virtual xda" or something else.
maybe there will be a way to put the data pack on this xda ?
i've testet something other:
having 2 sd cards (128 mb and 16 mb)
i made a backup from the cold bootet machine, which is only usind 2 MB, this i wrote sucessfully back.
but why won't eat my maching the file which is 20 MB ???
maybe there will be a way which i haven't seen yet ??
W H Y ?
<veryangryaboutthisbackupprogramandthinkingtothrowthexdaaginatthewall>
i only need the informations stored in this file, nothing else !
PLS help me.
yours andre
You have to use the restore application on the SD backup and do a soft reset to be able to see the information you backed up.
However, if you reformated the SD card you likely lost the information
What Operating systems ROM are you using?
Hi gang,
One quick question, I wish to back up the current image on my device (Rom, settings, installed apps). Can I just use the bootloader and back up to my SD? If not, what's the best app to use for a wallaby running WM2003?
Thanks!
Hi linger1974,
The method I used is as follows.
Get the XDATools from this site.
Install the XDATools.
Now you have the XDA OS Image Tool.
Use this tool to read the current OS, and save it to your PC.
You now have a backup (*.NB1) of your XDA OS.
Make sure to have about 15MB of free space on your SD card.
Use SDBackup on your XDA and make a Backup to SD.
You now have a backup of your 'working set' of installed applications on the SD Card.
Use a card reader to attach the SD Card to your PC.
(Your PC probably sees it as a removable harddisk).
Make a Windows Backup of the SD card.
(RightMouse> Properties> Tools> Backup Now>)
Burn a CD with the downloaded XDATool, the XDA OS backup (*.NB1) and the Windows backup of your SD card (*.BKF)
Store the CD in a safe place .
In case of a severe emergency, find the CD which you created above, use the XDA OS Image tool to write the XDA OS NB1 back to SD Card. (If necessary install the XDATool which you burned on the CD).
All existing information on the SD Card is lost forever (but we still have the *.BKF on CD).
Perform a Soft Reset with your Stylus while holding down the On/Off button.
Release the On/Off button and perform the OS upgrade.
Now you have restored the XDA with the original OS.
Use a Card reader to attach the SD card to a PC. Format the SD card.
Perform a restore of the *BKF on CD and be sure to restore it to the SD Card.
Place the SD Card back in your XDA and use SDBackup to resore the 'working set' of installed applications.
Perform a normal Soft Reset and you are completely restored.
Hmmmm... your quick question did not result in a quick answer from me.

Would this be the same method for the XDAII? If not, can somebody explain to me how to do a complete backup, settings and all?
My recommendation would be to purchase a copy of Sprite Software's Sprite Backup ver 3.0. Excellent program! It even creates self-restoring backup files, so you don't need to install the program before you can restore the device.
Excellent program! Indispensable!
Thanks a lot, Palmtest, for your reply. Sure, it wasn't a quick one, but the detail was much appreciated.
Dear all,
I have a problem like this:
1. I had actived Permanent Save
2. But I unintentionally I deleted all of Contacts
3. So, when I tried to hard-reset, I restore from Permanent Save it was gone
My question:
Actually Permanent Save saves the data in Storage Card, as you know that a formatted hard-disk still can be recovered, so is there any tool to recover all data of Contact from SD Card?
Thanks a lot for your support.
when you put an sd card in a sd card reader it can be undeleted from just like any harddisk
you just pick the sdreader drive rather then the hd
Recovery
look this link http://www.ontrack.com/easyrecoveryprofessional/ this tool that you can use maybe can helpyou to recover your data on your extraible media (please now se my post and tellme if you can helpme about the compact net framework on wallaby cell phone)
Regards!!!
P.D. Tellme if this was helpful for you
I recently started trying out Custom ROM's extensively and at one point lost all my clockworkmod recovery files from my SD card. Terrifying as it was to start all over again, I didnt give up hope and looked around in the xda forums and here are the collaborated instructions
I assume that to your good fortune, the files are only LOST i.e not deleted by you accidentally. When this happens, android puts them in a folder called LOST.DIR on your SD card. Ensure you keep these files intact!!!
I also assume that you are using clockworkmod recovery.
Step 0:
I recommend to do all this on your PC unless stated so otherwise... I used a micro-SD to SD adapter to read the card in my laptop..
Step 1:
Your recovery files are in the LOST.DIR directory somewhere. Unfortunately the filenames are now (seemingly) random numbers. Your first Job is to find out which file is which. The way I took is to use a free file recovery software like RECUVA . Use this tool to run a "deep scan" on your SD Card. Once Complete, It will show you a list of "recoverable" and "unrecoverable" files. Dont pay any attn to the status. Look in the "PATH" column of the lost file. The files of interest are in the "G:\Clockworkmod\backup\" path(My SD card is drive G)
For each rom backup that you had created there should be a directory with 5 files(look in the "PATH" Column)
System.img
Data.img
Cache.img
.android_secure.img
nandroid.md5
Step 2:
Recuva tells you that each of these files are unrecoverable as they have been overwritten by a file in the LOST.DIR directory in the comments Column. Look at the corresponding file name against each of the above 5 files for the ROM Backup that you want to recover. Copy these 5 files to a seperate directory on your PC. (For our guide we will call this Directory "RecoveredBackup". You are free to call it whatever you want. Just remember..no spaces in the directory name. There's a good reason for this)
Step 3:
Rename the corresponding random-numbered-file to the correct name (example system.img)
Step 4:
The chances that the Nandroid.md5 is recovered correctly are very LOW. There is a way around this first Create a Directory called "clockworkmod" (without quotes) in your SD card. Inside this directory create another directory "backup".
copy the directory from the above step "RecoveredBackup" into this backup folder.
Step 4:
Regenerating the md5. Insert your SD card back to your Phone and open any "shell" (like terminal emulator)
Type su in the terminal and press enter. Allow superuser access if prompted.
Regenerate your md5 by following THESE steps.
(Thanks to ihtfp69 for this) (remember..in our case instead of "2010-06-29.20.22.53" in the post, we use "RecoveredBackup"
Step 5:
Ready to go!!! Now reboot back into recovery and restore your ROM as usual!
Step 6:
Breathe a sigh of Relief if it worked
Repeat if you have more than one backup to recover.
Disclaimer: This SHOULD work. This doesnt mean it WILL. give it a go... but don blame me if it doesnt work / your girlfriend breaks up with you / Judgement day arrives.....
You can also recover deleted files from Harddisk and Memory Card with the help of another efficient data recovery software. i will suggest you to use "Kernel for FAT and NTFS" file recovery software for the same purpose. It recovers data after accidental delete (shift+delete) / format from hard drive, memory card, flash drive etc instantly. It has a user friendly interface through which you can preview the lost data in scan mode in RED color and then gave you the choice to save all at once or some selective files to your location.
Thanks for the good advice and detailed description! Should save me a lot of pain.
happy to help!

works like a charm
i accidently deleted rom-slot 1 on safestrap for my razr and it worked like a charm, i used the data recovery to match the sizes up to a name and put them back in the proper directory, now im back on my main rom! thanks man! :laugh:
If you wan to recover SD card,recover memory card lost data,you must to use a photo recovery,this recovery tool is helpful for you,get it from:
Code:
datas-recovery
You can not only recovery photo,video,but also recovery iphone and android lost data.
The simple delete command on most cameras just marks the space on a memory card as being available for use rather than overwriting the actual space on the card. As long as you don't record anything new onto the card, previously deleted photos should be relatively easy to recover using a file recovery utility.
You should even be able to recover photos from a reformatted memory card as long as you used a standard format command rather than a low-level format. (A low-level format not only deletes all the data on the card, but it also recreates the directories and folder structure of the card, rendering previously deleted files unrecoverable.)

Not on this device, but principle is the same: if I copied the lost.dir folder to my computer, and then ran recuva, would the files still be recoverable? Or is the whole point that it has to be on the original destination?
If they havent been mentioned... here are devices I have had tested and don't see on the first post:
1) the LG Optimus "S" works, I think specs are almost, if not exactly, identical to the Optimus V - now as far as lag goes, it is far from a good performance device...
2) the Sony Xperia "Arc" works...and pretty good I understand...
3) Samsung Galaxy Ace works well...
4) HTC Evo Shift 4G... works good.
5) LG "My Touch" works...
6) Kyocera Milano lags it up on anything remotely intensive, but works!
Great tips. SAVE me from disaster ! Thank you so much!

Do not worry, here's a good sd card recovery solution you may follow to recover data from sd card: how to recover lost files from sd card
It's easy to follow and works well for me.
My problem is a litttle bir complicated...
I organized all my pictures in my N9005(phone memory) then i replaced those to SD card. At this time some of those organized folders turned into empty folders and videos, picturec etc. moved to LOST.DIR folder and named numerically. After then i tried to recover via RECUVA, STELLAR PHOENIX and ACTIVE FILE RECOVERY PRO. But i couldn't recover all lost files except a few . And video players and picture viewers say that those few recovered files are corrupted. After i read the threads in forums, recovers are successful but mine is not, i think about the replacing the files from phone memory to sd card caused the problem. Is there anybody to help me for solving recovery problem and making any comment about my thought?(replacing from phone to SD card)
Problem......
My problem is attached......Please help me...
I can't see any file on "LOST.DIR" folder, and Recuva doesn't show anything too.
I would like recommend a tool is SD Card Data Recovery， It is Kernel for Windows Data Recovery that can repair and recover deleted data from different storage device like Hard Disk, USB Drive, PEN Drive, Camera, SD card, Memory card etc. Download and install H-Data Recovery Master(hdatarecovery.com).
You can easily spot SD card usage in almost all the cool gadgets, such as the android king – Samsung galaxy s3, all the camcorder goes either full memory card storage or hybrid – with built-in hard drive, the Nikon d90, canon EOS 5d mark ii and all the DSLRs alike. But you must be very pained when you lose data from those SD card in following situations:
• Accidentally deleted files from SD card
• Formatted SD card
• SD card got corrupted or inaccessible
• Virus inflection
• Power failure
• Others
Thanks to the Android Data Recovery, which can recover deleted photos from samsung galaxy and videos from SD cards on Android devices, as well as retrieve deleted contacts from Android phone and messages on SIM cards.
In order to put a stop to permanent loss of files from LOST.DIR in Android, you have to quickly recover missing files before your Android Smartphone memory space get overwritten by some new data. Therefore, go ahead with pertinent LOST.DIR Android recovery tool like UFUSoft Lost DIR File Recovery.
SysInfoTools Windows Data Recovery
I would like to recommend Sysinfotools windows data recovery tool, it proves helpful for me. Suggest you to Download its trial version and practically analyse all the feature before you purchase. It will recover all the media files, documents, attachments safely in an original form.
Thanks

My titanium backup only sees three user apps (no user apps are on external) when I try to back them up.
external stoage is set to sdcard0
backup diresctory is set to sdcard1/titabackup
What can I do to resolve this. I need to install and restore backups and it finds a directory with a lot of them but performs no action (ie recognizing them)
bump guys. I really need to know why Titanium backup isn't seeing all my user apps (it can only see 2) and how to resolve this :crying:
Solution: Back it up to the internal since it won't let you manually choose the directory. Drag and Drop it to your external. Redetect directory and all your future backups will be on your external now
