Hello everybody,
I have unintentionally deleted all my photos and videos from the internal storage of my Note 3.
Apparently, the only way to recover them would be to root the device (and void tje warranty).
Do you confirm that there is no way at all to manually dump the folder where were the videos from the internal storage as a Virtual Hard Drive file?
I cannot post the links where I read that, as I am a newbie ( not yet allowed)
Is there a hope to recover deleted files without rooting?
I don't wish to root and void the warranty because the phone may be sent for repair bexause of unexpexted reboots. They would notice the rooting (Knox e-fuse).
The firmware is N9005XXUDMJ7
(SFR)
Thank you very much in advance!

Yes, possible, see this step by step android data recovery guide.
It can recover deleted files from android phone internal memory.

I unlocked my hox+ without realising it deletes you storage does anyone know if i can recover my files, i have the software but the storage does not show as a psychical drive
You can't restore your data. As far as i know your /data partition including the /media folder, which is what you see as internal memory when connected to your computer, get's wiped when unlocking bootloader.

The storage will show as generic hierarchical file system. Henceforth it is impossible to retrieve any lost data/settings. It is a must to do a backup before attempting to dev unlock the phone. I believe that when you dev unlocked the stock recovery should have warned you that it will result in a loss of all data.
Thanks I backed up most of it anyway just lost a few videos

Hello! I wiped my phone and then realised Nandroid doesn't backup /sdcard/ from the internal memory. I'd like to try and recover files from this folder. What's the best way to do this?
From my previous thread [Q] Restore files from Nandroid backup in the Android Q&A forum (where I discovered /sdcard isn't backed up), I tried various file recovery apps to no avail and began trying [GUIDE] Internal Memory Data Recovery - Yes We Can! from the Nexus forum. This guide got very complicated trying to change it to fit the S3 and replies in the thread went quiet. So S3 experts, I need a method for internal file recovery for the S3 i9300 please.
Many thanks!
Search and read, the same subject is covered many times.
There was a process for the S2 that works for the S3, where you raw export the whole 16gb partition to a pc for data recovery software to work.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
The only thing I could find was the [REF] S3 Storage (Data Loss Recovery / Prevention / Info) guide that says:
It's worth mentioning, NONE OF THE ABOVE will work with /sdcard on internal memory. It is not possible to get your data back once deleted from internal memory. Once gone, it's gone forever. You can only restore from /extSdCard (removable, external SDcard)

...which doesn't sound good!
I can't find the process for raw export you mentioned, unfortunately. I did a search in the S2 and S3 forums for 'raw export' and other variations, to no avail.
Edit: I'm currently running Recovering deleted files from internal memory of Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300). Will update on progress.
Hi,
I helped my friend to get his photos from his Galaxy s3 with android 4.3 by transferring them to SD-card, but somehow the SD-card was broken so all the files were corrupted and we used Transfer not copy..... I did not manage to recover the photos from the SD-card, but i found some file recovery softwares for android but they all required root-access.
So any ideas how to recover those photos from internal memory without usb.
I did not manage to root with Framaroot.
Phones usb-port was changed to new one but still any computer wont recognize the phone...
I can promise some sort of reward for the person who manages to find a solution.

Use a file explorer to copy and paste to SD card. You will not need root unless he stored photos on root.

Yes, if those photos would show up at the file manager. but we used Transfer, so its like cut-paste. So the files disappeared and i have to find a solution to recover them. It is possibly and pretty easy if i could root.
No, because the internal memory/internal SD is only one partition of the memory chip. This means no recovery software or apps are going to help you.
Only chance is with the external card you transferred to.

I have similar problem, except i didn't cut/paste photos. Phone just did hard reset by itself, so everything is gone... I have managed to root the phone, can you tell me which solution have you found for rooted devices? I have tried with Wondershare Dr. Fone but with no luck (it even does not require root).

Theres a bunch of android software for file recovery. Diskdigger undelete (root) looks promising, but i cant test it without root. There is many software for windows too, if you can use USB, but i cant do that...Asoftech data recovery could be the solution if i could just use the usb. Yesterday i tried many different methods to get the usb working but still windows wont recognize it.
Should i just wait for Framaroot that can root android 4.3 or is that ever going to happen?
Yes, give hope of data recovery off of internal memory.
Jelly seems to think it reasonable.

Depending what version of Windows you're running fully look into drivers and uninstall/install of them (Win XP has least problems) as WIN7 onwards have had/needed workaround/install others to work.
Double check that you cannot transfer the data back to phone, they could just be compressed and transfer back with same method?
Check for which is the USERDATA partition, with a desperate SDCard using adb and a shell command, dd the partition to SDCard and recover from there.
Is the RECOVERY stock, CWM or TWRP?
Make a backup if possible and recover from there.
Hope this gives you some more options to look for

RECOVERY is stock too. Im sure that theres no hope recovering the photos from the SD-card, but maybe ill manage to get them from internal memory with some sort of software like DiskDigger, like the previous poster suggested. But i still need root to do anything, so if windows XP wont work ill just have to wait for Framaroot to update, because i tryed atleast 2 work arounds for windows 7 but the usb still wont recognize.
But thanks for your help.
hi all,
i came here with deeply desperate. i lost video of my wife giving birth.
it happened when i move videos from internal memory to external memory.
suddenly the files in external corrupted. the files name appears gibberish
there are two method i tried for the past 3 days
1. try to recovery from external (micro sd) using MiniTool Power Data Recovery, Wondershare Data Recovery, DRW. since i turned out that sd card have bad sector, the recovery progress stuck in 4%
2. try to recover directly from the phone. i also have issue with this method. since it requires me to the root the phone.
yes, without rooting i still can use software to discover lost data, but the softwares told me if it can discovery much more data if the phone is rooted) . unfortunately i cant find rooting method without flashing the rom. i dont want flash the rom , because if i do so im afraid the moved videos will be more difficult to recover. i also try once click root like framaroot, king root/ kingo root, Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android, none of them succeed rooting my phone (Lenovo Vibe P1 Turbo)
can anyone help me to recovery the file.
or please give me alternative how to root without flashing rom
thanks in advance
Hello esutisna,
So sad to hear that you lost such a precious data from your device!!!
I know how it feels.
So you have tried many things but still there is no hope.
Now I would like to suggest you an alternative approach using your PC.
It will be best if you have windows.
Go and download Recuva
https://www.piriform.com/recuva
this is the link.
connect your device to the computer and check that your device is connected as media transfer device long for MTP.
Now start and install recuva.
On the desktop, launch the recuva again using the shortcut.
It will ask you to recover file from the path.
Select Media Device.
Then select the type of file you want to recover, in your case it is Video.
Select it and hit recover.
It will work as magic and all your lost data will be recovered.
All though there is a chance that it may not work if you have by mistake format your internal memory of forcefully rebooted the device.
Please tell me how it goes.
I will be happy to help further!!!

Hi everyone,
I just switched firmware versions and had to do a full wipe.
Now I want to copy all my data back to the internal memory but of course in the current Android versions this means that all files now have the dates of when I copied them.
This is no problem for most files, but it is a problem for pictures. They are sorted by date and therefor completely out of order.
I was thinking, since only root users are allowed to change the time stamps/dates, would it be possible to pack the images into a tar file and then copy them to the phone using ODIN? This would basically be a root operation, right?
If so, does anybody know how to make this work?
P.S.: My phone is obviously unrooted and needs to remain unrooted for now. So I am looking for an alternative
What do you want to do?
Move Photos From PC to Phone Using Odin.

Move photos from PC to phone WITHOUT losing file dates. So keeping the original date of creation.
Try Using a Sharing Tool To move A Few Photos.
Because odin Can't do that.
Odin is only made to flash Firmware.
I've never seen or have Ever Heard about odin Copying,moving or deleting Files from Internal storage.
Your only option is to either Move The Folders Via a PC to Mobile Moving app Or by Moving files to a SDcard of a Rooted Phone and editing and Then inserting to required Device.

Well, syncing tools and ftp etc. all access the running Android system and therefor all need root permission to write time stamps.
Odin, to my knowledge, can flash data to any partition on the device. Since you can repartition the internal storage with it, I figured it might be possible to write data to the internal storage partition.
Basically Odin takes data (apps, etc.) and copies them to the respective internal psrtitions such as system, data, recovery etc.
So if you knew what the internal memory is called and knew how to let Odin know that the content of your tar file is to be copied to that internal memory, then Odin should be able to bypass any system limitations and basically act like a root user.
