Hi!
I have a huge problem! I wanted to flash the official CM12 nightly on my gf's SGSII, but with a bigger PIT... so i backed up my phone's apps and some system files (titanium backup), downloaded all the needed files (ODIN, kernel, PIT files), then I connected phone to PC and flashed new pit and kernel... went to recovery mode and formatted internal memory (sdcard0) when I just remembered i forgot to make a backup of internal memory (my way is just to copy all the sdcard0 to my computer.....)!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? so before i flash new ROM to the phone, is there any solution to recover those files back on my sdcard0 (either through download mode or recovery mode) cuz all the files to flash and TB bacup file were stored to sdcard0 (internal memory)
would appreciate any help here and sorry for my english

Connect your phone to PC, mount Internal memory and try some file recovery program like Recuva.

I know i need to extract them with unyaffs.exe
But i can't find where my camera photos stored ..
Please navigate me to the path ...
Motorola Atrix 2.3.4 device.
Thanks.
Nowhere, they're on the SD card (/DCIM/)
So they are gone ?
I stored them at the internal sd, not in the external sd.
Internal SD... ah, sorry: the Atrix has built-in memory... I wasn't aware of that. That depends on how it is accessed... I still wouldn't expect it to show up in Nandroid backups, but if your lucky it doesn't get formatted and you can still retrieve it. The question is, what device is this internal storage and what filesystem does it use.
Can you still mount the storage on the PC? You should be able to retrieve most of your images even if the drive was formatted using a standard photo recovery tool
I just full wiped everything .. all the storage places too and intsalled new ROM.
OK, i can do that , which revocery tool should i use ?
It's been a while ... I think I used this one:
http://www.z-a-recovery.com/digital-image-recovery.htm
The free version is enough for image recovery.
Thanks
Just recover some of my images ...
But i can't get the full library from the nandroid backup? what information do you need?
I know i can just restore the nandroid backup ... but it will do trouble ... diffrent kernel from my preset rom..
Any ideas?
?
Sorry for the late response, But I just stumbled upon the thread. I had the G2x. The internal memory is just like another SD card. Just that it's not removable. What's backed up in a Nandroid is things like the /data, /cache /boot /system and android.secure partitions. The internal memory is /emmc. It doesnt get formatted in a wipe (unless you say so) and it doesnt get backed up in the Nandroid. Otherwise, your Nandroid backups would be EXTREMELY large.
How do I do this? Is it possible? I've done quite a few backups because I've been swtiching between ROM's and my Internal is running low on memory. I'm using ROM Manager Premium v5.0.2.0
Edit: I know I can do this if I manually go into CWM

On the latest version of CWM, there is the option to save to internal or external SD card once you have created, or accepted, the name of the file names backup.
Tip: Always save your backups to your external SD card in case of problems you may encounter with flashing.
You can choose in cwm backup/restore menu : backup internal sd.
or make a backup in external, then copy paste the clockworkmod dir in internal sd
Can you please mount external sdcard instead of internal one.
/etc/fstab:
Code:
PHP:
#/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /sdcard vfat rw
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard vfat rw
Ive noticed some cwm-r versions are kind of "reversed" too when it comes to backup/restore and install from locations... when you chose internal the cwm-r uses the external and the other way around. so if you have chosen to backup to internal but it put it on external anyways then try to do the backup to external to have it on the internal sd don't know if that's the case with version you use though.....
A quick question: I have 3 nandroid backups made by CWM in INTERNAL sd card. I know that the amound of free space IS reduced (ES Explorer. Android storage and Windows tell me so). Still, the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup folder contains only a nandroid I have done of the stock ROM before I started flashing... the other nandroids are invisible. I 've even connected the phone in windows and tried to search for .md5 files.... only got the one concerning my old stock ROM backup. Where does the CWM save its' backup files? Should I format the internal card?
clockworkmod/blobs
Ok this is becoming weirder and weirder by the second. So, I had a nice backup of stock ROM (which yielded the amazing: "Your device is modified, no software updates available" har har har). So I fire up "My Files". And lo and behold, in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups, the three backups I have done are visible. This sounds.... fishy. To say the least. And of course, now they are visible in Windows Explorer too. Ok, now I am kinda scared ****less.
Hi guys,
My SD card got corrupted before flashing a rom, so I'm a bit stuck (I can access the CWM menu, the kernel is fine).
So I formatted the card to FAT32 (tried other formats) but when I try and flash an update.zip from it I get
E:Can't mount /sdcard/
So I'm thinking, are there some files missing from the SD card that CWM/android need to interact with it? I can imagine these files were wiped when I did a format. Like superuser files or something? You know also, those hidden files beginning with '.'
I've tried all the usual methods like formatting using SDFormatter and stuff - still, CWM can't see it (my computer can if USB is mounted). Am I right in thinking I need some kind of system files on the SD card?
Any help?
Thanks in advance
the best would be paid copy a rom sd card and flash, or flash a rom stock also either ics or gb and see if there cel recognize SD can not think of anything else. :highfive:
Ok, I guess I'll try that if there's nothing else. If I flash an official .ftf with Flashtool will I need to do anything to my bootloader (currently unlocked)?
Edit: I've been reading around and it seems almost certain that my sd card just needs some vital files on it for CWM and android...
Try by simply reflashing any kernel with cwm if your sd card is readable from pc it is not corrupted, it's more likely somethign wrong with cwm, you should be able to fix reflashing kernel which shouldn't be much of a prob since you have unlocked bl

Hey nice idea, but I tried that earlier and multiple kernels give the same error - it can't be CWM, it must be the SD card (or what's not on the SD card).
Edit: I've tried chkdsk and formatting to a variety of systems using a variety of partition managers, nothings works, my phone just can't mount the SD.

First backup your nandroid backup (if you have one) in a secure place (not the sdcard)
Put your sd card on some other android phone with cwm and format it from the cwm mount/storage option.
if you don't have a nandroid backup skip the next two steps.
mount the sdcard in your computer and create two folders in the sdcard (a folder inside a folder) name the parent folder as "clockworkmod" and child as "backup" .
Put your nandroid backup in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
Now put the Rom zip file you want to flash in the root of the sd card
Power down your phone.
Put the memory card in your phone
Boot into cwm and try to flash the rom.
If the second step fails with "error mounting sd card" try with another memory card or with another phone.

Hi friends I have a GTI9300 and i had the official JB 4.2.1 on it. So i want it to try the Pre=Release JB 4.2.2 so i backup my rom trough CWM so then i went and installed I9300XXUFME7_I9300OXAFME7_OXA trough Odin and it delete my cwm backups arggg so I'm searching how to recover it from the internal SD of the pone if any one can help me i be grateful
you mean you did a factory reset? you can't recover any files after that.
check /data/media
Your CWM backup where ???not on the ext sd card but the internal one .
If yes to INT SD then no recovery only if backup is on ext sd or copy on PC .
jje
i'm afraid i did the Factory resset format cache format data and format system but the thing is i did this before and my backups were still there i guess when i install the JB 4.2.2 Odin it format the whole internal memory so on the backup i had important files i would like to know if it is posible to recover the image of that backup!!!
so did you check /data/media? if you formatted the internal sd, you can't recover the data
There is no official 4.2.1, if you went from 4.1 to 4.2 then your data should still be in the memory, inside a folder called '0'. If you did format the internal storage then it's gone for ever.

I used ODIN to flash my tab and installed TWRP 2.2.0 on it, but the i accidently wiped enerything from the internal storage and lost the flashable_superuser.zip file that is needed to. Now I can't access the sd card or internal storage to put the file back. So what do I do? Through the damn thing in the garbage... i just want a working tablet....:crying:

Did you wipe system as well? Seeing that you wiped internal storage it wouldn't hurt to reflash stock ROM with Odin since there's nothing to lose. You can also use adb to push the file to the sdcard.
