Hey guys, searched around and couldn't find an exact answer on this.
Today I was adding a video to the Hide-It-Pro app and after it completed all of my pictures within the app have disappeared! I am not real happy about this. I searched the suggested locations on the phone and unhide files and folders... but nothing was found. I also downloaded the program suggested by the app manufacturer but it does not recognize my phone. How can I get these photos back?
I have a stock, non-rooted Galaxy Note 2 running the most current version of android, 4.4.2 I think....
And if the file containing those photos were somehow deleted, is there any way of recovering it?
Please help and thanks in advance!!

Hey Champ. Try this using your file explorer your picture should be in this directory:
Program data/android/language/.fr/pictures
Same here

Same thing happened to me. Tried to hide a video agian and agian. Finally the video dissappears from the gallery but is nowhere to be found. Tried looking in. Fr folder, and recovery software but nothing at all. It really sucks. I know it ia my fault because i did not pay attention to the Kit-Kat update and that i think is the cause.

Hi
I'm having a problem with my SIII.
Running all stock on it, 4.1.2. OTA update running fine for weeks, and my DCIM folder disappeared all of a sudden and all pictures from the folder today. Nothing was installed that wasn't from Play Store, nobody handled the phone except me.
I'm not new to android, flashed a couple of ROMs and fudged around with a couple of phones.
I really didn't find any thread to help me, so if you can. Can those pictures be recovered?
I now about Dropbox and other fail safe options, but now is too late for those.

Hi, i got major problem! Im using i9300 and Slimkat 4.4.2 rom, newest version.
I installed another cam app, Snap cam and changed folder where app saves pictures. Same folder that my perviosly cam app use: Sdcard1/dcim/camera
Then screen went black, and i realize that ALL MY MEDIA FILES ARE GONE. In this folder but in all other folders also. Like whatsapp folder all pictures are gone!
I think it is impossible to delete +300 pic and many videos in 1 sec, so can somone tell me where the hell is my all media files or are they really gone?
Tryed to search on ES but cant find any... Gallery say no files detected....
Thanks.

Read this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/info-flashed-4-2-sdcard-data-t2274218 << and use a root explorer to search where it tells you..
This usually happens when installing a new rom as mentioned in the above guide..I have never known it to happen when changing folders but worth having a look anyway..

Hi, i did try do how this topic say, but i can´t see any files still..
Hi guys, i'm going crazy with my Huawei y300-0100, after rooting. Running on android 4.1.1.
I deleted too much, as a stupid. Now the problem is i can't save any number in the "contacts" (no preloaded app version, can't find it anymore. I installed from play store two other apps, but can't save any number. One app,"contacts+" says "no app found to manage this action", while i'm trying to save a number..). The problem seems to be related to contact storage.
So, even if i'm a newbe (cause no backup done), i played with root explorer in system/app. Now find out i would need "contacs.apk", "contacts provider (this is storage, right?)", "phone apk", i don't know what else.
Hoping that with these file, i could install the storage from there. Or i don't know what to do.
Thanks a lot. Please help.
Edit: just lost phone signal.
Could be useful to flash original firmware? Don't know how..Please help

Flash stock rom from CWM or odin, if no cwm is available for your device, then try odin. Allmost all devices r compatible with odin. I dont have this device so this is only I can give to you

Ok just installed cyanogenmod 11 on my Huawei y300, from recovery, to try something different. Just learned by watching a video tutorial on YouTube.
Now it works again. The only thing is the battery life is very poor right now. Any ideas? Is really cyanogenmod?
Could be a good idea to install rom stock? Always from recovery? Thanks
So I accidentally deleted the whole gallery file on my galaxy s3 when I'm in the My File "app".
Don't ask me how....
I can still see the photos in the gallery, but the problem is I can't back up the files on to my computer, because the file don't exist.
I tried several programs, they either don't work or you have to pay.
Help???

Not possible. I bet you anything that after a reboot, those images will be goners.
File deletion equals permanently gone.
Sorry about that.

I restarted my phone several time, and the pictures is still there.
I can not play the video, but I can see the image.
The file no longer exist, i think if i clear gallery cache, the pics will be gone.
Is there any program to pull the pics out?

No, there's no program, as the picture files d o n o t e x i s t anymore. The cache still shows them, yes, but because the files are gone, you can't get the pictures.

i have a LINSAY F-7XHD tablet on 4.4.2 and while removing malware that came preinstalled from it i deleted the settings app with titanium backup. i did not back it up sadly because it was not the app the app i was intending to uninstall ):. there are no roms or recoveries for this device, and can't find a solution, would i be able to get the settings apk from a different 4.4.2 rom or is there any solution anyone can find or have had this happen and know of? i'm rooted but that's kind of already said? without settings the tablet is next to useless for real so id be forever grateful if someone could help me get settings back.
sorry for being a noob!!!

There should be a way to install stock firmware, installing it will re install the settings app.

You're a bit unlucky, i found a firmware for the LINSAY F-10XHD, but not for the LINSAY F-7XHD, don't know what can be done, but i will give you two options:
1-Contact the company and ask them to send you a stock rom link
2-search google for anyone who have the phone and try to contact him directly and ask him to send you the settings.apk, it can be simply backed up without having root using file explorer like ES file explorer.
Sorry for lack of suggestions, but you said it yourself, it's an offbrand no name tablet.

i contacted them already and they insist i send the tablet back to them and pay more than the tablet is worth.
i found the firmware for the 10 too is there anyway i can extract the settings apk from the system image? i tried to already using something called ext4 unpacker but was unable to even open the img with it. i was thinking it may work or is at least worth a shot since its the 7 inches 10 inch counterpart and runs the same version. idk maybe the firmware i found was corrupt or the program is trash since its old. but anyways do u know how to unpack the system image so i can pull the apk? ... or have any other ideas lmao sry, thank you
i cant even find one someone i could ask tbh... so is there no way a settings app from like a different phones rom will work? ): appreciate your help

There is a guide here to unpack ext4 system image, but I'm not sure if the settings.apk from the 10 would work for you, you have to be aware that injecting a wrong incompatible apk in the system may cause a bootloap, which is worst than your current case, because you only recover from this by flashing stock rom which we didn't find, i will look around to see if someone have the tablet and we can contact him directly.
