Hi all,
I may sound stupid with that title for this thread....I was recording a video and apparently my S3(32GB) went extremely low on storage and konked off. It used to freeze after every boot and just wouldn't move. (the screen along with the h/w buttons)
I tried connecting it to the laptop where I thought I could delete some stuff from the phone through the laptop but it just wasn't recognized. It showed charging but never connected. Tried all the drivers but didnt work. I cleared the cache in the recovery mode, connected in safe mode, download mode etc but the MTP driver never got installed. Eventually I had to do a factory reset. Its working fine now...but obviously I lost all my data...I really need the pics real bad. Is there any way I can retrieve them...? I tried a couple of recovery s/w but with no luck.
I'm using a GT I9300, 4.1.2, XXEMB6. kernel: 3.0.31-1071725.
Please help, those pics are really precious, from my own wedding and honeymoon (before I could take a backup this happened):crying:
No backup no Nandroid then no chance outside of a data recovery service .
See faqs and guides .

So here is what i suggest you do.
Since your phone is working fine now, and it can connect to a pc, try using a recovery software. Try not to fill your phone storage with clumps in the mean time. Nothing is ever really deleted unless it's overwritten by new data.
Try. ht tp :/ /w ww. ea se us .c om /d at ar ec ov er yw iz ar d/ fr ee -d at a- re co ve ry -s of tw ar e. ht m
Since i am new here, the rules doesn't really allow me to post links yet. Remove the spaces in between the link i posted
It used to pull out data from accidentally formatted USB drives, but then i consider my phone an external storage device.
Good luck and let us know
Cant without backup, sorry

I tried various softwares on the phone itself but nothing worked, couldnt run these softwares on my laptop coz the phone is connected to my laptop as a portable device & not a storage device, hence it is not picked up by the software as a drive that i want to scan.

Hello i just got mine htc hd2 from berlin.
German rom.
Everything was working fine for couple of days untill i conected it via usb cable to my friends pc.
The phone then froze up and i had to do hard reset to get it working again.
Everything was fine untill i again connected it o the same usb port(usb front hub) next day. Phone froze again, and after hard reset pop up message just keeps appearing that my memory is low i that i need to uninstall programs, which i havent installed!
When i go to information about memory it say that my total storage is 56 mb only, and i know it was around 180mb. When i delete few sample pictures the message wont show again.
My question is? Did the stupid usb port burned up my phone, becouse my friend told me that he burned 3 usb devices from that same port !;/
And why was amount of total memory reduced?
Now phone sometimes dont boot at all, i did 5 hard resets and always same error!
Thank you for reading , and sugestion will be usefull.
Try SKTools or cleartemp to clean up your device (with sktools select clean)
This will clean up temporary Internet files, caches and other files )
Solved
I solved my problem, by unlocking the phone, hspl 2.08 , then ran task29 and flashed new rom.
Ty
Main memory from 50+mb now going to 65Mb
My problem for HD2 is each time browse FB video. Rom space will gone.. even i use "ClearTemp" to clean the temporary file problem still the same.
Just format my phone last week ago. From 45+Mb going to 50+mb..... Now is 65Mb+ I think few month later i need reformat again my phone.
Please help,
My hd2 will not boot, I get the message "this device is unable to boot because you have turned it off incorrectly or tried to install an application from an untrusted source. press volume up to reset.... ...this operation will delete all data".
Memory card is okay, but I had important documents and photos on the phone which i need before I reset the phone. How can I access these? I have tried active sync but it is not detecting the phone.
thanks for any help
I really dont think you will be able to, if you cant boot then you have no access to the device memory..............
Hi,
Ive got the phone in bootloader now and when I connect it, the computer recognises it but it is not displayed in the explorer window.
Any ideas?
Cheers

I stil dont think it will work. pretty sure you need wm to boot before you can access the memory.
sorry.
Hi,
If this phone belonged to Osama BinLaden, I dont think the FBI would reset it, im sure they would find a way to get the documents off. I am so frustrated.

Maybe OBL would do regular backups and not rely on just one device for important documents.
Since he does his blogging on cassette tapes, I think he will still be using a Nokia 3210.

Looks like an iPhone user to me..............
@ the op
I wasnt suggesting that its impossible to get to the data, but I dont think it will be possible for you to get to the data..........
if you still have no success after booting without the sd card inserted and applying HSPL ( not sure that will work but its worth a try.....) then I would give up if I were you.
I suppose a repair centre may be able to remove the internal memory and copy the data for you maybe not but that would be about the only option left if you cannot get the phone to boot.........
Either that or you impersonate an FBI agent and try to blag access to a facility with the technology to access your phones memory under the pretense that you believe the handset contains information which may be potentially dangerous to national security, begin a romance with one of the lab technicians and attempt to sweet talk him/her into giving you the contents of the phone....
Good luck.........
Hey guys, this is my first time starting a thread on this site, so please bear with me for a bit. Earlier today my S2 was working fine, i was browsing the net, chatting and etc. But when i started my "whats app" it started lagging for a bit, because i was chatting to a group. Then all of a sudden when i lock my phone and later on unlocked it, it said the phone was running on "Safe Mode". Soo i google'd "how to exit safe mode on galaxy" and it gave me a few solutions, one of them told me to switch off the phone and remove the battery for a minute. I did that, and all of a sudden when i unlock my phone, applications keep crashing including the interface itself ("TWLauncher" i guess that's its name) Soo please help me as i don't know much about this. My phone is not even rooted, i could manage to open the task manager but that's all. I can't even use the usb as it will crash again. All help would be greatly appreciated =)
*small update* I could access my settings and i could switch to the ics launcher but i still can't use the net and stuff =S
Basically I've noticed the default apps that comes with the phone are acting up :S

I can't do that really =S Because i have alot of important data on my phone, this problem came out of nowhere. I hope i could find a solution before referring to that
You have not backed up your data ??? Nor do you have a nandroid backup ???
If so you need to access the internal storage of the phone via USB mass storage and copy off what you can .
Alternative methods such as rooting and installing a no wipe custom rom will probably keep your data but void warranty .

Problem is, i never backed up my data =S
And i can't access the USB mass storage, the thing keeps crashing and telling me to "force close" even if i try reporting the wifi isn't connecting to the network soo things are really messed up =S
I don't mind rooting my phone, as long as you could provide me a step by step guide on how to root my phone without loosing my data.

if you are still not able to access your phone from PC, then you can copy and paste your stuffs to external SD using "my files".

If you are not worried about your applications you just do factory reset of the phone and try
settings/privacy/factory data reset
if you are not able to do this,
Volume Up + Home + Power brings your Phone into Recovery Mode.
Volume up: Highlight up
Volume down: Highlight down
Home: select
Power: back
select wipe data factory reset
if your phone keep crashing and you will not be able to factory reset... then you can did it from recovery mode from stock ..
Just hold power-menu-vol up from off condition then chooswl wipe data from recovery mode
if u thank me then i will thank you ( 이 승 기 )
Hi everyone,
I am in some trouble. I have accidentally deleted all my photos from my Samsung Galaxy S2 before a couple of hours. They were stored in Camera folder of my phone Gallery. Plus I have deleted one hidden folder as well which contained my personal data (videos) which was very important.
I know I should have been more careful, but I cant help it now. I searched on internet about how can I recover my lost data, but didn't come to any conclusion. Now, you guys on this forum are my last hope to get my data back if I can.
Is there ANY way its possible to recover the data that I have deleted? Please let me know guys, I need your expertise to resolve this problem.
I am having Samsung Galaxy S2 [GT-I9100 model] [ Android version: 2.3.3]
Thanks a million...
Hi. I want to help you and I help how much as possible so.
I see somewhere can you search in Google: how to recover deleted photos/data on android ?
Send form Galaxy S2. Using XDA Premium

Hi Jokesy,
Thanks a lot for the link. I went through it, I installed that software as well. but the problem is that, the software shows ONLY my computer hard drive. it just doesn't show my mobile disk.
Means, I have connected my mobile through the USB cable. So it shows "connected" on my mobile screen. But that software just doesn't pick it up. I can restore the files that I have deleted from my PC but not from my mobile. I haven't kept the option for USB debugging ON, its OFF. But I am not sure if that has anything to do with this. Because when I tried with USB debugging: ON, it still doesn't show my mobile storage in the software console. I don't have any external SD card, I have lost my data from my PHONE memory, the one we get inbuilt [11GB].
Is there a way I can make the software detect my phone memory and try to restore my deleted data? Any help would be appreciated

You need to connect your phone as mass storage.
Enable USB debugging under application settings, then reconnect your phone again to your Pc

I did that, but for some reasons, its just not showing my mobile as external storage. It just shows me 2 new drives like Removable Disk H: and Removable Disk I:. But when I click on them it asks me to "please insert a disk into drive". So basically when I do the debugging: ON, my phone is not getting detected a a storage unit. But on the phone it says that "USB Connected, select the files to copy from your computer". But the photorec software, still doesn't pick it up.
Is there anything that I am missing? Attaching the snapshots... :crying:
Do you really know how to use your mobile phone?
When you connect your phone, open your notification drawer and turn on USB storage!

Got it now, I am so sorry. Stressed up
Will let you know how it goes...
Way to copy & paste from here (Yes it was that obvious the words weren't yours).
When you deleted something in your phone, first remember not to use your phone again, including text, calling,and try to recover the data you want first. After that, you may use you phone.
I also recommend using google drive and google+. All my photos and videos are there. 15 gigs on standard and if you download quickoffice on your device and link with google drive u will receive another 5 or 10 gigs. I presume 20 -25 Gb is more than enough. The best part ? A good wi-fi connection and google drive installed on the PC and phone and you can access your files anywhere. Add astro file manager for transfering files from internal memory to google drive and viceversa.

Have you gone to Google play store and done a search for "undelete".
I have accidentally deleted stuff in the past and this worked for me. I can't remember which on I used... Will search and edit it in. undeleter by fahrbot. I even shelled out for the premium version. So must have liked it.
Recently My phone suddenly could not do anything relate to the storage, I can not view album, it says there is nothing there, I can not find picture, can not take picture and post to Facebook or something, when i clicked into PhoTo in Facebook app , i got a pop up:
Your computer detected a USB cord and locked your phone for storage. Please disconnect the cord to see your photos
Click to expand...

. And into Gallery it says found nothing .
All i guessing is my storage (sdcard and ext_card) have been locked because it detected a USB connection. I try alot of methods even wipe all date, install a new ROM.
It happened since i uninstall Mcafee antivirus by titanium backup ( or may be something else , just guessing ) I tried to reinstall it again and nothing happend, still locked.
I try to search the internet and may be i am the only one fooling around with this bug. Any idea please?
hey
Anyone Pleaseee!
