After having my Z2 for 2 weeks on a trial period I've bitten the bullet and unlocked my bootloader to finally have root on my device :victory:
Now after that step, of course the data partition and with that the entire internal storage got wiped. This was known to me and as I thought not to have stored anything on it I didn't consider losing anything... but it seems there have been some ring-tones stored on either data or the internal storage and they got wiped together with the rest
I'm hoping anyone out there can help me restore these. They are supposed to be in /system/media/audio, /sdcard/(Ringtones||Alarms||Notifications) or inside /data/audio and should be there ONLY when/if you never have wiped the data partition or updated through flashtool/PCCompanion instead of OTA...
Who can help me gather them all back? I really love the original ringtone for the calender, which got deleted up on unlocking the bootloader :crying:
This is it. From system/media/audio.

In internal storage/data/ I have no files.
Edit: I updated with Pc Companion to . 402 without wipe, but, this folder is empty.
This is files from my SD card/ringtones https://www.dropbox.com/s/cxxgrmdiu5077ge/Ringtones.zip

Hi All
I recently updated my X10 via PC Companion thinking that my current settings had been backed up....but sadly they had not.
I lost my phonebook contacts and I'm desperate to get them back.
I tried a recovery program for they memory card and recovered all (supposedly) deleted files but for the life of me I can't find anything that resembles a phonebook file or doc.
Can anyone help please?
Also where is the phonebook info stored, is it on the memory card or on the actual phone apart from the sim?
I have also tried searching for a .vcf in the recovered data but no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how to recover the deleted phonebook directory or guide me into the right place to look?
Regards
Marc
I guess you didn't have google sync enabled for contacts then hey?
Would be easiest...never lose them if they're in the cloud.

Hi.
If you didn't make any kind of backup?, then your going to be out of luck I'm afraid.

Hi all, was trying to format another memory card that i have because it would not read in windows for some reason,so anyway i inserted into my phone and formatted emmc thinking it was this other card but turns out i wiped almost everything from my phone(backups, music,pics) everything!! is there no way of retrieving anything, thanks in advance!!
Recuva might be able to recover data that's in folders you can normally see when you hook the phone up to a PC (I.E not in system folders). A Google search also reveals Android specific data recovery apps tho I can't vouch for those.

Install it on PC and scan for files. If it will find something, I'll give you further instructions.

Hi
I'm not sure where to post this question so I'll post it here. I'm sorry if I'm not posting on a right place.
I recently got LWW wt19i and I'm deeply in love with the phone. The only thing I can't stand is memory! So, I need to root the phone. I read a lot of tutorials but now I'm scared of bricking it! What are the chances for me to do that?
And if anyone can tell me what is the safest way for me to do it? Because I really can't afford to buy another one.
I have:
Android 4.0.4
build number - 4.1.B.0.587
I will appreciate any advice! Thank you very much. )))
If you carefully follow this tutorial here, you will be able to root your ICS WT19i. Don't miss a step mate.
Thank you very much! I'm gonna try this one you gave me.
Well you can't just brick your device by rooting unless you change some system file is not meant to be changed, and even then you can recover your device by flashing stock firmware.

I am using SE LWW n I have one problem in my phone
When I newly brought my phone I was able to like tracks on fb via walkman. But now I am not available to like tracks. Though my walkman player is showing that I have liked tracked there is no such status on my fb profile.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem

I rooted the phone. But now I have another problem. :/
I did this so I can move apps from internal memory to sd. I instald link2sd, make 2 partitions did everything and it's working. I moved all apps to sd, but when I check internal memory it's still almost full!
It shows that I have 312mb used and only 108mb free... It was the same before rooting and moving apps.
Am I doing something wrong or it is not possible to make more space in internal memory?
bloatware

that's because much of the space is taken by the default apps which come pre installed in the phone........ i would recommend you to unlock the bootloader of your phone and install a custom rom........ you can unlock the bootloader by using "se bootloader unlock relock tool "
and btw there is no way you can permanently brick your phone unless you actually hit your phone to the ground hard and make it a brick
I'll try that
Thank you for the advice.
Hey guys, my sisters phone for some reason got bricked. There weren't any modifications made on it, after some work I was able to make Sony Update Service recognize it. The big question is: When resetting the phone with Sony Update Service, is the internal storage erased too or not? She has some important pictures which she really needs, so could someone suggest a way in which the internal storage stays the way it is?
I tried the hard reset button found under the next to the sim card already with no result. The phone responds with 3 buzz when the power button is pressed for 2-3 sec.

AFAIK there's no way to make a backup of the internal storage while the phone is off.
I believe that resetting the phone with SUS won't erase internal storage (only apps and related data).
I've never had the chance to try it though, but I say the above due to past experience with other Sony devices.
EDIT: I just read somewhere that repairing phone via PC Companion wipes all data including internal storage.
You can use flashtool to reflash a firmware to your device
Deselect wipe data and select, reset customizations
I think that should do it

Unfortunately in new xperia phone the internal storage is mounted at /data/media so it gets erased too when you wipe /data
Thanks anyway

Actually nothing happened, she had to go back the next day and I didn't have time to try fixing it. She will just take it back to the service provider and make them fix it.
Hi, I've downloaded MIUI 8.1.3.0, the latest version released, but I'm getting a problem: 'misc' is taking too much memory space, but I've deleted all de folders and files from the internal storage. Could someone help me?

It's always like that on MIUI. You have to examine those files manually. Yo can also try app called SD Maid which did a great job on my phone before, deleted unused files far more thoroughly than MIUI's own cleaner.

SD maid didn't work :\
It never happened before I update to 8.1.3.0
Do you know something else?

I'm not sure, but because you're updating, then got this problem, maybe you should suspect old MIUI files from previous rom being the culprit. For example "MIUI" folder on internal storage. However, you might lost some things when you delete this. Themes for example.
But I'm not too sure, so please be careful and look for other possibilities too before do it.
