I bought a used xda2 that i think had WM2005 installed with a romdisk ( whatever that is ) I have around 20 Xda2 devices that i use for my work all running WM2003 that have my software loaded to the Extended rom and Storage Folders.
I flashed the device and restored it to WM2003 that worked fine, but when you go into device information there is no extended rom version showing.
If i use Ext rom unlocker the folder appears in storage. When i do a hard reset the autorun does not start like all my other devices.
What seems to be the problem is that i think Fat1 partition has been removed and i now have only the Fat0 partion at around 31mb.
I tried taking an image from one of my other devices and flashing it but it doesnt restore the partition and neither did flashing WM2003 (1.72).
I either need to restore the Fat1 partition so that Ext rom folder goes in to Fat0 and storage folder goes to Fat1 just as factory set.
Or is there a way to change the autorun config file to run the software from the 1 partition.
I have searched forums for days now but cannot find a solution. There progs that will save and restore Fat0 but not to restore or create Fat1 partition.
Thanks for any help!!

Last week something burnt out in my Streak, it wouldn't turn on, so I needed to send it to get repaired/replaced, as a little data insurance I took a dump of the internal SD card (just using dd in Ubuntu).
Now O2 are replacing my Streak, so I'll have a new one with a different IMEI, etc, and I don't want to open this one (I only opened the other one as it was an emergency). So I'm looking for help on restoring the backup I've taken without opening the phone, and once done, leaving it in a warranty-friendly state.
Obviously the first step is going to be rooting it, but what then? Is it simply a matter of copying all the files? Just thinking that might cause conflicts due to the new IMEI.
so i've got a similar (but reciprocal) problem... i had a malformed update.zip that pooched my internal microsd's system partition and the streak won't boot at all... I have a nandroid backup and i've pulled the internal microsd to find an empty ext filesystem that mounts just fine when I plug it into a linux laptop, but there's not a clear mapping from the system.img that I have and the contents of the accidentally wiped system partition...
SO, two things would fix this....
1. someone could send me a link to their raw 'dd' image of the system partition (~200mb)
2. or, I can keep figuring out how to use 'dd' with the system.img that I have to get the same results as the 'flash_image' tool...
would someone be so kind as to speed me along on this by giving me their system partition dump (1) or quickening my learning curve on (2) so that I can restore with the flash_image formatted nandroid dump of a working system partition???
Please, please....
I know i need to extract them with unyaffs.exe
But i can't find where my camera photos stored ..
Please navigate me to the path ...
Motorola Atrix 2.3.4 device.
Thanks.
Nowhere, they're on the SD card (/DCIM/)
So they are gone ?
I stored them at the internal sd, not in the external sd.
Internal SD... ah, sorry: the Atrix has built-in memory... I wasn't aware of that. That depends on how it is accessed... I still wouldn't expect it to show up in Nandroid backups, but if your lucky it doesn't get formatted and you can still retrieve it. The question is, what device is this internal storage and what filesystem does it use.
Can you still mount the storage on the PC? You should be able to retrieve most of your images even if the drive was formatted using a standard photo recovery tool
I just full wiped everything .. all the storage places too and intsalled new ROM.
OK, i can do that , which revocery tool should i use ?
It's been a while ... I think I used this one:
http://www.z-a-recovery.com/digital-image-recovery.htm
The free version is enough for image recovery.
Thanks
Just recover some of my images ...
But i can't get the full library from the nandroid backup? what information do you need?
I know i can just restore the nandroid backup ... but it will do trouble ... diffrent kernel from my preset rom..
Any ideas?
?
Sorry for the late response, But I just stumbled upon the thread. I had the G2x. The internal memory is just like another SD card. Just that it's not removable. What's backed up in a Nandroid is things like the /data, /cache /boot /system and android.secure partitions. The internal memory is /emmc. It doesnt get formatted in a wipe (unless you say so) and it doesnt get backed up in the Nandroid. Otherwise, your Nandroid backups would be EXTREMELY large.
heya, i just installed the new fxp on my ultra, and i thought i had backed up my litecoin wallet on my sd card, but then when i went to go look for the file, i couldnt find it, so it must of been still on the internal storage, does anyone know of a good free program that might be able to recover files,
cheers
Have a look with root explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer and look through the internal and external storage.
If you do not find anything, try unmount the sdcard and mount the card in a computer and view hidden files, what do you find?
If you running a rom you can start:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.baloota.dumpster
This will collect anything removed and you can either remove it forever or restore the file accidently removed. This is only for when running a rom, not if you wipe data etc when flashing a rom
And always do a nandroid backup from CWM if you not sure if the rom you flashing is working or not. It might not backup personal files but rather the whole rom and apps with its stored data
Your nandroids is stored in /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/
I wanted to enable full gpu rendering on my Samsung P6200... I am running 4.1.2, rooted. I downloaded the zip file, booted into recovery and installed the zip file, I rebooted, it shows the normal model number and that on the screen, and about the time when the boot animation starts it just goes blank, although it is still on, now, I rebooted back to recovery, I had made a backup moments before, I only had 770 MB of space left so it made a full backup except my /data partition, that failed, but I didn't want that backed up anyway. I thought well maybe I should restore, so I went to advanced restore and chose the boot partition to restore, restore was succesful, I restarted and did the same thing, now I try to restore the whole backup and it says md5 mismatch, I connect to adb and mount everything, and find my mnt folder is missing, now I don't know how to fix this, if I go to install zip from sdcard it shows all my files and folders there, but if I go to /sdcard/storage/sdcard0 in adb it only shows two folders, Download and Webzine. How to fix this, I don't want to restore my /data partition due to the fact that it only did like 5% of the backup of it and need a lot of that data, if I were to fix the md5 mismatch (don't know how) what partition would I restore to fix the boot error? And how do I fix the missing mnt folder issue?
Ok, sorry, found my files are stored in /sdcard/, although I could swear they were in sdcard0
I had a bootloop issue on my GT-N9300 speadtrum and finally solved it by flashing the ROM using the UpgradeDownload tool
Phone Specifications and Phone information
After the process, I lost all data on the phone (call logs, etc) and on the SD card and I had to root again the phone.
When using testdisk to restore the SD card, I get this:
The first two FAT32 partitions give "no file found, filesystem may be damaged" while the third one contains files.
The first swap partition option gives: Can't open filesystem; files system seems damaged, while the second one gives this result:
First [rom] partition also gives that "it seems damaged"while the next two [rom] partitions contain entries.
The last Linux swap gives: Support for this filesystem hasn't been enabled during compilation
What shall I do to make the SD card work again and restore all my data?
I hope I clearly described it and that someone can help me restore the data.
