Hello!
I have problem
I using HTC ONE X+ JB 4.1.2
My mobile during running... suddenly restarted ... and after restart it looks like like after factory reset .
Problem reapear ... again during running (half marathon ).
problem is that since 4.1 no way to set USB mass storage which means... there is no way to recover data.
is it anyway to recover 'magically deleted data" ?

It doesn't apply for Android OS 4.1 because it doesn't have USB mass mode anymore
USB mass storage has nothing to do with Android 4.1
its related to partition layout.
and phones without external sd card will never have USB mass storage

All the pictures which i captured from my S3 were stored in the internal memory of my phone. But unfortunately those pics got deleted.. and now when i tried to recover those pics i have a problem. I downloaded an app to enable Mass Storage Mode, it does not work on internal memory and it seems to be only for an external microsd… I really need to enable mass storage mode on the internal card so I can run a file recovery utility to restore deleted photos.. How can i recover this? pls help....
I'm stuck in a similar boat. Even on rooted CM10, I can't get USB mode. And there is currently a bug where it won't work in recovery either. I thought this would be a really simple thing, and it still boggles my mind why it is even removed as an option.
Connect phone to PC use Windows Explorer to open phone and sd card .

The answer is that you can't enable mass storage / UMC on the Galaxy S3, because the internal sdcard is not an independent partition, is just a subfolder of the data partition, unlike older devices like Galaxy S2.
You have to use phone side applications which are more limited of course.
Read this for further understanding:
[GUIDE] MTP and PTP (Media Transfer Protocol) vs UMC (Mass Storage Class)

You may try some android photo recovery software, follow this step by step guide: android phone photo recovery
hope this helps you get back deleted photos from samsung galaxy S3 phone.

No, but to recover files, see General > Sticky roll-up thread > S3 storage data recovery

You can, if you use DriveDroid, however the mass storage mode is limited to the file you select as virtual drive.

There are many Android Data Recovery's out there
Some of them are
Wondershare Data Recovery
Data Recovery from Gutensoft
Undelete Beta
DDR Data Recovery Software
There is Even an App called Data Recovery in Playstore
I Have myself used Wondershare Data Recovery And it had Recovered Most of my deleted files..
PS : Root is Required
Install ur phone driver. Or maybe change ur usb cable with shorter one.
You are in the wrong forum you do not have a I9300
How about if your phone is not rooted, any other softwares i can use to recover files when i formatted the phone?

Anything on internal memory, if you formatted / wiped the phone - is gone.
Shame! i accidentally forgot to backup a file when formatting my phone earlier.

I recommend searching play for "foldersync" so you can keep your data backed up. I set mine syncing overnight with my computer over wifi.
Cheers!
Well,My problem is very similar I have S3 and does not go past the Samsung logo, however pressing a variation of buttons revels download/root options.I tried many way with no luck, and now I want to buy a data recovery software. So i need a discount coupon to save my money.
Hello,
When I updated my S3 to 4.3 from 4.1.2, it was terrible. It was very laggy, my screen didn't show when pressing the Power Button or the Home Button, and I thought that resetting to factory might fix it. Well, I was so desperate to make my phone work better that I didn't realize that all my files were on the internal storage, I don't have an SD Card. So, I've lost everything.
Now, I'm trying to recover some photos, but I can't connect my phone as USB mass storage to use a recovery soft on Windows 8. I rooted my phone, installed USB Mass Storage Enabler app, but it shows two drives (H: and I, but I can't access those. It gives me "Please insert a disk into Removable Drive (LETTER"
Please help, I did everything I found on forums, but still nothing. Those files might be lost, but now I have another battle.. Making my phone available in Mass Storage.
And by the way, it still works terrible with 4.3. Hate it so much!
Have you installed USB drivers ???
Have you read the stickied storage/ recovery thread ??

Unfortunately I think USB Mass Storage in the way it is implemented in 4.x for the moment can only share the external SD, the internal one is never visible.
IMHO the only approach to recover "something" is to get an external microSD larger than the internal partition and create a block copy (with dd under adb in CWM/Philz recovery for instance) of the entire "internal SD" partition - that one will be an EXT4 (Linux) partition) and there is a very, very small chance that you might recover some stuff from it (I doubt but who knows).
Yes, i have the Samsung USB Driver for mobile phone (1.5.29.0)
No, didn't read the storage/recovery thread.
Oh well...
Such error happens if transfer breaks unexpectedly. Think what file did you send lastly and delete it, it should fix your issue.
If you can't remember or it did not, formatting your external sd card will fix it for sure.

Ah, you're talking about internal one.
Well, then your magic program doesn't work properly. Perhaps you could try boeffla kernel and it's UMS.
Please can anyone offer some simple answers and advice for me and my situation
Due to poor advice I optioned to get over a "Damaged Memory" screen by choosing the 'Reset' button, the advice said all files could then be recovered by various 'recovery software tools' available. Now I find that my version of Android has no option to float the 'internal' memory to a PC as 'removable storage' only the irritating MTP transfer thing!
So my question is...
Is there any simple way to enable UMS for the INTERNAL drive on the phone?
BTW I should say I have tried a UMS re-enabling apk but this only makes good UMS for EXTERNAL drives, NOT INTERNAL.
The only thing I can I think of is to take the firmware back to before the 'wizards' at Samsung removed the UMS option, though to be honest I don't know if the internal drive was ever mountable in Windows as a 'removable drive'.
FYI My device is not rooted.....yet!
Thanks
Steve
PS: I did try the DR.Fone for Android recovery software, which seems perfect but it couldn't connect via UMS so found nothing.
Internal is an emulated memory, cannot be mounted as UMS regardless of root.

Sorry I need to be completely clear here......
Are you saying there is ABSOLUTELY no way of recovering ANY data from the factory reset INTERNAL memory?
It is possible to dump the entire partition to your pc, go search and read those who have tried.
Trying to find the files afterward is like trying to unscramble eggs, but software on your pc would be able to access the partition at least.

Hello guys,
This is my first post and this place is still new to me so bare with me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus. Rooted. Android 4.2.2
I am looking to recover some deleted files in the internal storage however whenever I plug in the USB to the PC, programs like "Paragon Backup and Recovery" and "Remo Recover for Android" cannot detect the device.
USB Debugging is checked.
I have been searching but no luck. Maybe someone here can help.
Thanks!
try kies and wandojia to update the lastest driver, it would help

sometimes change to another port would help
and also, you could switch mode (MTP, Camera, Mass Storage) and sometimes with debugging.
Eventually your PC would recognize and thus you could access to the internal data!
TRY harder man

I tried all that. There is no option for Mass Storage. Otherwise I wouldn't be here lol.
Are you sure you have installed every drivers?

Make sure every driver is properly installed?
You could use the Chinese synchronizing software "Wandojia". It could auto-detect and install the driver for you!
Or sometimes the option is hid under the category of more settings- wireless and networks- USB utilities
Or in storage, but you have to press menu to select the option
Just keep trying, good luck !
