hello frineds how ru
i have one gs3 with pattern lock i did evry think i could not bypass the pattern lock so i did hard reset now the files and pictures inside is very improtant how i can recover the files plz help me
hard reset from stock recovery or a custom one? if stock then the files are gone forever
it is stuck 4.1.2
stock? okay, read above
I dont know if it will work, but try a program called Recuva. You will need to plug the phone into your PC and run the program.
As I said, it may not work but it managed to recover nearly all my 1tb external hard drive after I completely wiped it and reformatted.

You can't. This is a red herring. Like Glebun said, it's gone.

So i was about to check something on the internet by using 3g data, but for some reason the 3g wasnt working, so i thought id refresh the phone by giving it a fresh reboot.
Upon doing so, after the phone fully rebooted, i got a notification in the notification bar 'Usb Storage Damaged' with sub-text 'Usb storage damaged. It may need reformatting'.
I have checked and i can access everything in CWM recovery, so therefore backing up the stuff i want/need shouldnt be a problem.
My question is, that is there a way to fix this WITHOUT reformatting?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Ideally copy off the data first so you have a backup then run chkdsk in Windows as it's FAT32.

Hi, I have a similar problem on my unrooted S2.. I have read that using chkdsk in Windows on an unrooted phone wont work (and didn't when I tried). I don't mind rooting, though I'm not sure if I could even do this while there is a USB storage error. I have hours of recorded lectures on my phone, and exams coming up soon so I am desperate not to reformat if possible!
I've been using my phone without USB storage for about 2 weeks now trying find a fix, and I guess this is my last hope, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your answer , But when I connect my phone to the PC and choose USB storage ,all I get is grayed out I and J drives.
how do I preform a CHKDSK? I tried running CHKDSK.exe but it doesn't seem to do anything (it says it's in read -only mode) .
EDIT:
I got it ,it's working again ,a couple of restarts and connecting \disconnecting to pc solved it.
as for CHKDSK.exe I copied it to the sd card and ran it from there.
thanks a lot
Hi,
I have a similar problem...
My SGSII battery ran out and when I started the phone after recharge, it started to give an error that the internal storage is damaged and also stopped to recognize the microSD card.
The microSD connected to the PC it is recognized and does not accuse error with chkdsk. I tried to format the MicroSD (on the phone) and then to mount it, but it does work.
Also, connecting the phone to PC in mass storage mode simply shows teh drive letters, I can't access the drives.
I did not want to format the internal storage before be able to copy my data, and I think the problems are related.
I managed to mount and access the internal storage using the terminal emulator (running on the phone) using the command
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 /sdcard/
But the rest of the system does not recognize even after this procedure, and I don't know the command to do the same with the MicroSD; or copying data to a PC to then try to wipe or factory reset.
I've tried to reinstall the ROM with ODIN and did not solved the problem.
Also tried to install CWM recovery, but it can not mount / sdcard (gives error).
Could anyone help me?
Thank you!

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
I have i747M with 4.0.4 in it. Accidently i deleted all pictures from internal memory of this phone. I downloaded so many data recovery programs from the internet. I can see my phone in My computer list but none of these softwares detecting my phone. I am not sure where i am going wrong.

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.
i have an xperia U phone and recently the phone won't connect to the computer when it's ON (the phone)
(1) in the device manager shows that there is an MTP device connected and in my computer shows a hidden removable disk
when i tried to uninstall and then reinstall the driver it took a minute and then it installed correctly but it was the same as (1) above
although the phone shows that it's charging.
but it works well when i mount it in CWM , so i really don't want to flash again or do wipes i want to know where the problem is &
Fix it,
another question
why isn't there a mass storage like in the CWM when the phone is on??
and does wiping \system do any thing wrong?? i mean before restoring a backup??
Which os are u using on ur pc.. make sure u have proper drivers... windows 8 cant detect my phone in mtp..
Also cwm has a mount usb option
Format system in cwm will wipe ur system folder.. be careful
U will enter a bootloop then

but i tried to revert back to before i test the krnals using backup & restore and the same problem persists .

Hi all,
First off, get the laughs out the way. Not posted on here before but used the forum a lot over the past year or so and i desperatley need someones help.
Long story short.
1) Currently i can only access CMR 6.0.3.2
2) I have no ROM available on int SD due to doing a system wipe while flashing Cyanogenmod 11 nightly which failed due to Status 7 error ( did not think this error would happen!)
3) My PC & Laptop will not recognise the S3 through USB despite all correct drivers being correct.
4) CMR will not let me mount the 8GB ext SD card. I have tried formatted to NTSC and Fat 32 and both not mounting, get the mount error message.
To sum it up, im fooked. I cannot access the int SD to drop a ROM on it and cannot access the Ext SD card through recovery which DOES have a ROM on it.
Do any ofyou fantastic people have any idea what i can do apart from dress it up nicely and make an ornament out of it?
Thanks!
Scott

Yes Scott. Do not make an ornament out of it!
Okay, serious .. download the ROM of your region from sammobile.com. Install Odin on your laptop. Boot your S3 in download mode. Flash the firmware from sammobile.com on your phone using Odin.

Hi Hamza,
Thanks for the reply. This is one of the problems noted above as that my laptop and PC will not recognise my S3 via USB. Tried different USB wires and installed various versions of the drivers, uninstalled, reinstalled etc It just will not connect be recognised.
Any other thoughts?

Sorry, I thought that your phone will get recognized when in Odin mode or download mode. I am afraid I am out of tricks for now, but let me search and get back to you in case I find anything
Hello Scott,
Can you enter in Download mode on phone?
"First shut down your device, then power on by simultaneously pressing the power button, home button and volume down key. Now you will see download mode and you will be asked if you want to cancel or continue. Press volume up to continue or volume down to cancel and reboot."
For that part you don't need connection to PC (yet).
If u succeed entering in download mode, then use the link that Hamza posted, to restore your device through Odin
HI!
Its no problem to get in to download mode but as the laptop and PC will not recognise my S3, neither does Odin.
The very 1st think i knew to do was to try and flash a stock ROM via Odin, but sadly can't
I've flashed ROM's a lot however it was a rookie mistake not to make a backup on this occasion that was accessable in this situation. My backups and ROMs are on the Ext SD card....
Ive searched and the only 2 outcomes i can see to resolve are to mount my Ext SD card, which i can't do on CMR or to make the handset visible o use Odin or to drop a ROM on the Int SD but again, can't.

We have 5 or 6 USB cables for our phones around here, and only 3 work for our S3 phones. Worth a try?
One more thing crossed my mind... In CWR, did you try "mount usb storage"? Under "mounts and storage" setting.
I had a similar problem few weeks ago, changed recovery and new recovery didn't want to read exFat card...

I suggest you uninstall samsung kies first.
Proceed here uninstall old samsung usb drivers too.

There is 3 methods of installing it clearly written there with step by step instructions. Hope with this method your pc recognize your phone.
If that method fails.
Like many said you have to manually insert rom files into your external sd card using a reader. I hope your problem is not similar to this guy

Hi,
Tried various USB cables and nada. Due to this Odin, Kies or anything will else will not recognise the handset and that's on a PC and a Laptop.
As for the Mass Storage in recovery, the version of CMR doesn't have that option otherwise i would have tried!
I was focusing more on trying to mount the Ext SD card on CMR. Is there any suggestions on this? Tried NTFS and Fat 32 with varying cluster sizes but not happening. Any other suggestions?

Fat32 should work, not sure about NTFS... Did u tried another card? Or removing battery and reinserting after SD card format?
Thanks for all the suggestions.... Had a family emergency.
Tried everything, i now think that there is a hardware issue with the phone as its a Code 43 error whenever i try to update the driver so the handset can talk to my PC. Seen as this option looks fooked i can only now and try to figure why the Ext SD wont mount on CMR and how to resolve it.
If i can;t then no option but to send it to the big warehouse in the Sky,
Just to exclude, did you tried another SD card?
