its to late. as soon as you format the card in settings, new info is written and 90% of the time corrupts the data. If all that you want to recover is the backup, I highly do not recommend it.

You can use software such as wondershare to recover deleted files. If you erased the actual sd card, take it out and follow the directions. I've done this and only corrupted a tiny percent of the files. It's up to you, good luck. http://www.wondershare.com/disk-utility/sd-card-recovery.html

Moving to a new SD card..BUT!!!

Am sure this has been answered but couldn't seem to find an answer So if it has provide the link please...
Anyway Am still using the 2gig sd card that my hero came with but wish to use a bigger card..The only issue is I use App2sd card... On WinMo there was never an issue you simply just copied all the data over to the new card a hey presto it worked. But with android it does seem that simply(nothing ever is) when using Apps2sd because of the dam partitions.. So my question is this how do I move EVERY THING over to a new sd card inc the partitions and the data within them???? I doin't wish to have to reinstall 300+ apps noiw that I have the phone after 2months FINALLY working properly..
regards
Lohtse

[Q] Backups are not showing after flashing rom

So I flashed a new rom after backing up everything through Titanium Backup and Clockwork Recovery. I flashed the rom, but was met with a force close loop. I tried doing a factory reset through recovery mode and that got rid of the loop. But when I installed Titanium Backup, none of the backups were there. Same goes for Nandroid. What's going on?
Did u accidentally format ur sd card? Because tb is pretty reliable

Never had this happen before, but to fix this in the future you should make a backup of the tb folder on your pc...actually you should do your entire internal and external sd anyway!

Reboot and see if they're still there or plug your phone into a pc and try to access the sd card contents. I've had a few instances where TB didn't show me anything on the sd card until i rebooted. Weird but it's worth a shot before you do anything drastic.

Arghh I think this is what I might have done somehow. My sdcard folders did get messed up. I guess I'll have to start from scratch then...

Reboots problem fix

Hey guys
I just wanted to share this, I've been trying all new ics rom but a I always get random reboots all the time, so I research a lot to fix the problem until I got this forum (don't remember) so I read that if you clean your sd card you won't have more reboots so I did it in have two weeks without a reboot.
I had like 300 apps so I think that was the problem I also deleted then in titanium backup try it and good luck. XD

Hmmm.. Did you backup and then restore your SD card, or just wipe and start from scratch?

I'm not sure how formatting the sd card would help run an ics Rom... Especially since you put everything back on to your sd card. Did you do anything else in combination that may have helped?

Data Recovery Internal Memory

I accidentally booted into the bootloader earlier today when trying to boot into recovery. Well me trying to be fast, accidentally highlighted the Factory Reset instead of Recovery and lost everything that was stored on my internal memory. Was wondering if a program like Easeus Data Recovery would work to recover some of the things I lost.

I'm pretty sure your files are gone

Deleting files from a linux system is much different then on a windows system... Hate to say it but your files are gone
This is like the r00t user on a linux server executing:
# rm -Rf /
You might want to check out Recova by Piriform, but Linux does a wipe, not place a delete marker on the file like Windoze. It's worth a try, but don't get your hopes up.
This is why frequent nandroids and Titanium Backups that are copied to your PC and/or flash drive are extremely important.
After learning "the hard way" once, you'll never forget to backup again, I'm sure.
It happens to all of us, and it is part of the learning process.
HTH!

Yeah I kinda thought I was SOL. Didn't know that TB or nandroids backed up stuff on the internal memory like pictures and videos.

You have to go in preferences in TB and set the backup location as sdcard2 and then it will be on the external sdcard. In twrp you have to select external storage and then it will save nandroids to the sdcard.

No I do have my TB and TWRP set up to save to my SD Card. What I was saying was I didn't know that you could use TB or make a nandroid to save stuff like pictures and videos that are stored on the internal memory. I thought it just made backups of installed programs, settings, ROM state....
U can back up the gallery and it's data (pictures).

how?
I'd recommend using root explorer to back up your pics from your internal mem. If you don't have the app I'd highly recommend it. You just choose the folder and create a zip of the folder and place it on your external sd and laptop/pc for safe keeping.

Is there any any any any any hope that my files are still there?
If I lose all the pictures I have then my heart might just rip in half.

Photos deleted after flashing stock ROM via Odin

Hi,
I'm new and though I've watched the noob video I hope I'm in the right place, if not please dont get angry ><.
2 days ago I've flashed into stock rom for my SG3 (GT-i9300) back from my RGUI v5 Build number: MIUI-2.8.3 IMM76D / Kernal version: 3.0.38-Siyah-s3-v1.3.9c
Ask me why? because I've had some issues trying to install official MIUI v4 from the international website and always I get error: "Status 7" with a dead android inside. (Again, Why ? because I as hoping it would make my SG3 even smoother... more responsive)
So I though perhaps flashing it from a stock rom might work, so I used Odin and everything went fine, again ofcourse I got the error and went back to CWM to restore the backup i've made before flashing anything, I dont really mind about the error right now, I've seen similar posts about it and I shall continue investigating it, What's more important is on the next phrase.
Today I found out that all my photos were deleted, after restoring my RGUI v5 rom 2 days ago ofcourse....
I'm not sure how could the situation get any better though I remember previously flashing rom's that the SD card never being touched and I guess I was wrong.
What I wanted to ask is, I just got more CWM backup files on my external SD, does anyone knows if CWM backup restores user data aswell or should I just give up ?
Helpfull tips of how to restore it could be usefull (Oh lord, please spare me I beg you, I'll pray more).
Thanks in advance.
I've flashed hundreds of times on S1, S2 and now S3 and never lost any data or photos that are on either the internal or external sd cards.
Not sure but could it be that you somehow hit format sd card in cwm by accident?

Have you searched your internal and external storage? Maybe they were only stored on a different location so that the stock Gallery cannot find them?
Storages are either completely wiped or not wiped - but you don't only loose one particular folder

I tried to install 3rd party Gallery program which scans my SD's for photos and it could nothing.... Its probably not there.
I think all is lost unless one of my backups contains them.

Unfortunately cwm backups do not backup stuff on the sd card like photos. Looks like you've lost them man.

In a more optimistic view there are worse things, and although its quite hard to swollow all I've got left to do is say thanks to every one for trying...
Thanks.
Sorry, but this is a "Well Duh..." moment.... Flashing any stock rom through ODIN will always wipe the data partition on the internal sd card. You need to backup the internal stuff onto your PC. Only a stock firmware that has been modded will allow a non-wipe flash and you usually need to be rooted as it is no longer a stock rom.
You should be able to restore a nandroid backup of a stock rom too without wiping the internal sd card as this is only putting the system data back onto your phone...

It almost looked like a life saver case but it seems to target the external SD card only.
I can't seem to find a setting to switch into internal SD...
