Hello
I have accidently overwritten some photos on my Google Nexus 7 and would love to get them back. I`ve tried various recovery programs on Windows but none of them can read my tablet in MTP mode and I can`t connect it in mass storage mode. I have read that one way is to make a VHD image via RAW of the hard drive onto the pc, where the recovery programs can access it. The trouble is I I think have to root the tablet which i don`t really want to do
1) Is there a way of creating this file without rooting?
2) Does anyone know of a recovery program that uses MTP?
3) If I really HAVE to root, whats the least destructive way of doing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks but could you explain why you think that? Recovery programs scan your hard disk for sectors marked for deletion, looking for anything that looks like a jpeg file structure. I am hopeful one of these programs could salvage something, and would like to let at least one have a go. Unfortunately I can`t get that far as I can`t get the pc to scan connect to the tablet. I think its because the tablet does not have a USB Mass Storage mode, but can`t be sure. Hoping someone else is a little more optomistic!!!!
Android Data Recovery tool
Have you ever met the problem about losing your files on your phone suddenly? I have once lost my contacts and messages on my Samsung Galaxy S3, and I get all them back with the help of an Android Data Recovery tool.

Hey everyone. I'm in a bit of a pickle here. My phone was run over (I know, it's hilarious, laugh it out) strangely enough it's still intact except the screen won't turn on (it's cracked to hell as well). So I'm getting a new phone mailed to me, should be arriving in a few days, but I need to get all my contacts and whatnot off of there.
My first instinct was to use Kies, however it looks like I had USB debug mode enabled so Kies cannot detect it, nor can my PC (it sees the phone, but cannot access the storage).
So my question is: how can either a) disable debug mode without my screen or
b) get my contacts and files another way.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Have you tried using ADB commands? you could access the internal storage this way, also you didn't use your google account backup settings? if you did, all your contacts would be restored on your new phone.
Yes try true adb. An other question: are you rooted?
Adb is not that hard. Just download the android sdk. Then open a command prompt and browse to the sdk dir.
Then typ:
adb devices (it will give you some serial number, then it's working!) then you could try:
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db backup/data/contacts.db
If it's not working post the output you are getting.
And google contacts win.
I always wonder in what kind of cases we need it except theft or lost.

is you phone fixed?
Hi,
MTP and PTP are full of problems... so I want to have the old reliable USB Massive Storage (UMS) enabled in this phone, Is there any ROM with this feature?
I'm with stock and I would prefer not to unlock the boot loader unless I can get that feature with a ROM.
I tried this app with no success
I want any PC to detect my phone as a USB flashdrive containing only the sdcard files, not any partitions like system or data or such.
thanks

Nope. UMS is dead as far as Google is concerned.
what do you mean by that? I know some ICS ROMs with UMS (but for other phones) so it's no dead dead dead and doing a quick search there are some people using ums un Jelly bean
What I mean is, UMS support isn't the way google wants people to do things.
It's a kludge when google wants phone memory not be segmented for apps vs media and such.
I've found MTP works very well on this phone compared to others i've owned.
It's a partitioning issue on any phone that comes with ICS natively.
mmm may be I wasn't clear about that, sorry,
I only want any PC to detect my phone as a USB flashdrive containing only the sdcard files, not any partitions like system or data or such.
And we are saying it isn't going to happen. What trouble are you having with mtp? Maybe we can help.
Ok, thanks, my problem is the following
I have 3 windows machines and in all of them the following happened
> I connected the LGOG to the pc and selected the pc software option in the phone
> Installed the LG software
> The LG software Drive disappeared from "Computer" (as expected I suppose)
> The phone-drive never showed in Computer
> I unplugged the phone and plugged again and selected MTP
> The phone-drive never showed in Computer either
In one of the PCs I got an error while installing the MTP driver, don't know how to solve that, if I try to reinstall the LG software the LG software driver disappears
Also I can't copy files to my phone if I don´t have Administrative access to the PC... that's main the reason I want UMS
Uh oh.
So, if I understand correctly, I'm going to need to install CM in order to use my phone as a thumbdrive.
While I have no problems using MTP, the INSANELY SLOW TRANSFERS are basically going to force me to find another solution.
Great phone, but 2MB/sec on a standard USB 2.0 port just isn't working.
More research, it appears that I'll need to install an FTP server on my phone, or use a wireless data sharing app (sadly not possible in my case as my wireless network is firewall-external to my wired one).
I have a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 with TWRP and CM11 on it that I need to recover some data off of. The tablet turns on, but the LCD screen is broken, so I can't enter my password or anything like that. How would I access it through my PC without having to input anything through the screen?
I do have TWRP, but again, can't do much on the tablet end. (Possibly go through terminal on PC?)
Any ideas?
I had most of my stuff on the micro SD, so I have all of that. However, I did also have some stuff on the internal memory.

If you can get it booted to TWRP, your PC should detect it and you should be able to access your storage.
Okidoke, I'll try that. Thanks!

Hey all. Just a second ago I had a whole nice post typed up about this, but something happened on my computer and I lost it. So here's the deal. I can't get my computer to recognize my phone and allow me to access it as a drive. I tried to manually install the drivers but that wouldn't work, it said that the Windows MTP driver wasn't installed then it asked me to install Windows Media Format 11 runtime, which I did, and that didn't help, so I installed Windows MTP, and that didn't fix it either. Before you ask, I have my phone in MTP mode. Please help. I love this phone and just want to be able to use it to it's potential. Thank you.
Edit: Also I should mention it's a Verizon LG V10 VS990. Let me know if you need any more info, I would greatly appreciate some help.
I never use MTP. For way more control, Explorer from Speed Software can connect to any Windows (SMB) share on your home network.
Here this might help

Thanks man, but this didn't work either I'm still getting nothing popping up besides a few messages that say nothing important, but do give away the fact that my computer is old and becoming senile.

Thank you, I can give this a try when I go home for a temporary fix but where I'm staying at the wi-fi is trash so I don't think it will work well. It also wouldn't suit all my needs, including eventually rooting my device, so I'm going to keep trying to find a more permanent solution. I appreciate the reply.
hi all,
I broke both display and touchscreen on my galaxy s5
I need to recover the photos I have on the phone, can anybody help?
I have both a linux and a windows computer, and the stock samsung firmware on the phone (probably android 4.2)
I was reading online that an option would be flashing the firmware to allow me to enter recovery mode, but wouldn't I lose all photos and the whole content of the phone if I flash it? - I haven't got a Sd card in the phone: all images are stored in the internal memory.
Needless to say I can't get anything by simply connecting the phone to a PC:
- on a windows PC, the phone gets recognized and mounted, but it's seen as empty
- on a linux (mint) PC, I tried with mtp but it tells me "couldnt parse extension samsung.com/devisestatus:1"..
any suggestion on how to proceed? Thanks!

If your screen doesn't turn on after a disastrous fall, don't worry, there is a solution:
Look for [Vysor].
This is a Google Chrome extension that you can download from the internet, really easy to use, just install it on the browser and connect your phone to your computer.
Good luck :good:

Nope. That requires Debugging mode to be activated. And I can't activate it as monitor and touchscreen don't work
