i recently flashed rom to my 3d. i did a full wipe and everything but i was told my contacts wouldnt dissapear but theyre gone. also my sd card has 121 mb free but there is only 1 app on it? does that make any sense? thanks for your help.
Your contacts should have backed up to googles servers. Did you ever deselect that option on your previous ROM?
Can you explain the last part? What do you mean you have only one app?
Appreciate my help? Thank me

Your contacts should come back when you sign into your google account and let it sync. No idea about your sdcard.
i cant seem to find out why so much space is missing from my sd? could it be the actual rom itself? the only thing i have on there before using tb to get my apps back is adobe app.
and my contacts didnt come back even after sync.. is there anything i can do ?

I'm going to assume you are using the 8GB card. Umm, you don't have anything on it, like movies or music? Did you create a nand backup before flashing? Those can take up like 1GB of space. Do you use a lot of apps?

nope nothing on it. and yes i did. about 3-4 times. no on the apps.
View the files on your SD card with a file manager. You should see what's on it.

Wait, what three or four times? Log onto your google account four times or make a nand backup four times?
Appreciate my help? Thank me
Let me get this straight...
Your taking about your micro sd card right? Is it the 8GB one, or did you swap it?
You say you have nothing on it, but the ROM you downloaded right? Also you say you only have one app also.
Can you view in what's in your sd card?
I'm really trying to understand.

You nand backed up four times? Then that can be the problem consuming all your space on the SD card. About the other one idk.
Did you ever uncheck the boxes in the privacy settings in your last ROM? If not, then I really don't have a sufficient answer for you.
I still can't see how nand backing up would take up all of the space, but with all the given information. Theres not much I can say.

You can delete them. Or move them all to your computer to be safe. Just keep one handy, and restore back to it. You'll probably get your contacts back doing that.
Appreciate my help? Thank me
When you have your contacts back. Go to your Peoples app. Press the menu button, select import/export. Then your going to select export to sd card. Select the export to phone and google options. So next time if they go missing, you just import them.

Do you know which folder they are in? If you do, then you just go to the folder and right click it. Select whatever option your going to do then voila! Your good to go.
Are you doing it by phone instead of using a computer? Just use astro file explorer and navigate to the folder. Long press it to bring up a list of options.
I assume you know how to move them to your pc right?
Appreciate my help? Thank me

Try doing a full wipe (factory reset) before restoring the nandroid backup. If you're using the latest version of TWRP, go to the advanced settings menu, and then choose format menu. Wipe cache, data, system, and boot. DO NOT WIPE SD CARD. Then try restoring one of your backups. Make sure you have your phone unplugged when restoring and rebooting (sometimes it can be problematic when plugged in). If that doesn't work, then try flashing a new rom from scratch.
The easiest way to delete your nand backups, or store them to your computer, is to plug your phone into the computer, and choose mount as disk drive. Then navigate into your sd card, and find the TWRP folder, then choose backups, then navigate into the next folder (labeled as your phone's serial number), then you'll see your backups, which are labeled with the date and time they were created. Delete the ones you don't need, or move them to your computer for safe keeping. That should free up a good amount of space on your sd card, as each backup ends up between 800-1500mb.
Hi there,
I'm new here, so it's my first post and I hope I'm in the right place to ask here
Yesterday my girlfriend accidently deinstalled one of her favorite apps from her SGS3 (via Play Store), it's a game and all its game data is stored internally as it seems. No backup or anything else has been made before
She just reinstalled the app from the Play Store and opened it just once, but did not do anything else yet.
I've already searched the forum and googled around a lot, but did not get any appropriate answer to my question:
Is there any way to recover the lost app data to make her happy again?
I've already tried several apps from the Play Store like: Dumpster, Undelete, DiskDigger, Hexamob Recovery but nothing worked or even could access the internal storage or was just able to maybe recover lost pictures or videos.
Device info:
I've rooted her SGS3 I9300 and recently flashed it with CM 10.2 nightly (playing around with the phone while waiting to buy myself a new one )
I really hope there is someone out there who has an idea or just gives me an appropriate answer.
I'm not a native speaker so my apologies for every mistake I maybe made
Thanks in advance!

you also said the phone is rooted. enable root option to the file explorer and then you will be able to copy/cut/paste the data on the system. my preference es file explorer. menu> root explorer> mount R/W> set permissions to RW. then you will be good to go.

Maybe I was not clear enough. I tried your suggestion and searched for 'smurf' to find any data, now I got several files and folders containing 'smurf'.
I think the data was deteled while the deinstallation of the app, am I right?
Hard to answer this, but in which files will the app data be stored and if it is deleted, how can I get it back?
I found a solution, she did do a backup without telling me, 2 months ago...stupid little... my bad or better: her bad.
Thanks for your help so far!
Thread can be closed now...
Just FYI, without that backup, there would have been nothing you could have done.

Now that's what I wanted to know
I already thought that there might be no way to get the data back, due to the storage structure / filesystem and even to the fact that she reinstalled the app and started it (main data has maybe been written at that moment, so the old data blocks have been overwritten or so)
Really thanks!
Hi Guys!
I've just rooted my LG P710, its version is 10j.
Now I'd like to delete some system app and their datas to free up my internal memory... I think I should use Root Explorer for this, isn't it?
-Stock Browser
-Google Play Books
-Google Play Magazines
-Google Play Movies
-Google Play Music
-Google+
-Hangouts
-LG Home (to be replaced with Nova Launcher )
-LG's four themes
-LG Weather (Its widget doesn't run on Nova Launcher)
These are the apps I'd like to delete... can I?
Thanks for answers and sorry for bad english

Root explorer is more suitable for deleting files, not apps. For apps you can use Root App Delete. Been using it for a long time and I like it very much.
Edit: Just to add, if you're looking for a good file manager, I'd definitely recommend X-Plore.
Good luck.
Thanks for your answer, Digdis... I'll try Root App Delete but, can I use also Root Explorer?
Can I delete all those system apps?
Thanks

You also can use Root Explorer to delete system apps, just make sure you only delte apps which are possible to delete and won't affect your system stability or functionality.
Make sure you delete the .odex and the .apk app in the system folder.

Wow, that's amazing! This is what I was looking for! Thank you!
Just one little thing man... Before to delete these apps I'd like to do a backup...
So when I go to my ClockWork recovery and choose "Backup", I have:
Backup of boot image completed.
Backup of recovery image completed.
Backing up system...
Error while making a backup of /system!
Why do I get this error?
-----------------------------------------
I guess it's an external memory's space problem... I have about 500MB free... but I'm very unlucky today.. still another problem...
I just want to put my backup in my own PC to free up memory on my device... but, if I'll have problems, I won't be able to put it again on my device because in recovery mode my PC doens't recognize my phone while I do "Mount SDCard"
Any solutions?

You can't perform the backup directly to your PC (if I understood what you wanted correctly) - you need an SD card that can hold the entire backup image. Free space of 500MB seems indeed too little in order to keep CWM backups (or too little for any other purpose). Why not get a bigger SD? They're not that expensive.

Hey digdis, first of all thanks for answer but you don't understand me, or maybe I didn't explain very well what I want...
I know I have to do may own backup directly on my SD Card and, as you say, i'm gonna buy a bigger one...
Let me se if I can better explain my doubt with my limited english
Well, suppose:
- I do my backup on my SD by my ClockWork Recovery
- I copy it from my SD Card and paste it to my own computer to free up my memory on the device
- Imagine now, that, because of an unknown reason, I brick my phone and I can only get access to my recovery...
- How can I copy and paste my backup to my SDCard if my pc doesn't recognize my phone while I'm in recovery mode?
That's the problem... my drivers are all installed on my PC and it recognize my phone while it's turned on... but, when I'm in recovery mode and I plug my phone to my PC, it recognize a device called "vee7ds" but it cannot find its drivers... so I can't send or receive datas between my phone and my computer...
Is all clear now?

OK, you know I understand quickly when they explain it to me slowly. :laugh:
So, I guess you have two options here:
1. Assuming you have enough spare space on your new SD (say 1GB), just keep the backup image on it. This way, if you get bricked, you will be able to perform the recovery without copying it from your PC. That's what I recommend.
2. Assuming you have no spare space, or don't want to keep the backup on your SD, you can keep your backup image on the PC in peaceful times. If your phone gets bricked, you can extract the SD from your phone, insert it either to another phone or you can buy a USB micro-SD adapter ($0.5 in AliExpress) in order to copy your backup image from your PC. Then put your SD back in the phone and perform the recovery.

No problem. I don't think anyone would support such a thing as recovery is usually pretty minimalistic. I really don't think it's an issue - bricking your phone should happen somewhere between never and rarely, and if by chance it will happen - any of the ways I described earlier should work.

Hello,
i have the imperium rom v 29
My battery went out and my mobile resetted itself alone. Now i have no contacts in the phone and all my data is gone.
BUT in the Windows Explorer the free space is only 1.5 GB from 11.3 GB, so the data was not deleted. I just cant see my pictures and stuff.
Maybe i can see somehow my phone as a device in the windows explorer!! But it is not so easy i think. Can someone help me please?

Just plug it into the computer and browse it like normal or use the built in file explorer.
my phone is no device like my hard disks, so my recovery program has no chance to find the s3 to recover my data

Corrupt data partition, you can dump the entire partition via CMD then use a recovery program on your pc. Search xda, S2 forum I think, for details how.
You'll find its like try to unscramble eggs and you're unlikely to recover anything useful.

Dont worry, copy all data to ext sd card and try flashing it with stock ROM, unrooting your device may leads to hard brick. Flashing will wipe all data so make sure you have backup.

You either didn't root it properly or you have trojan apk (virus applications) anyway copy your data by connecting it to PC make sure USB debugging is ON, if you are still unable to copy data to PC, I recommend you to give a try for copy data from internal SD to ext-sd. If anyone of this method work for you please do a flashing or having trouble in flashing please go to service centre for repairing this. Still having problem please let me know

Sad to hear that, all you can do is send photos and other data via share it to other device and after finishing that, do a factory reset, if you still having the same problem try flashing it with stock ROM or else go to service centre and ask them to do a flash.
