I have no backup and i have lost all my data on internal sd storage... photos, music,videos, other data such as text documents , pdf documents , tar files of recovery etc.
its very very sad for me as i have collection of all memories as photos and videos...
I'm very tensed..
please help me to recover back all my data ..
after format there is no data stored on internal storage means no over write of any data so i have that my data can be backuped up..
i've tried couple of softwares to backup my data but one of softwares called "photorec" is able to recover only 2.5GB and also in random named folders with random data...
everything is finished..
please... it will be great of you to solve my this problem..
is there any way to UNDO this operation?? I mean can we UNFORMATthe internal storage ???
really need your advices and solutions
thanks..
Yes solution is simple.
Go back in time.
Backup data like any sane person would have done.
If your files were that important why didnt you do simple things like make backups to your PC or even just via dropbox app that automatically uploads photo's via wifi?
Try a partition recovery software.
If you cant fix I have no sympathy since its easy to make backups of needed data. No excuse really.

I did give you expert advice. I am an expert in backing up my data in case of device problem or if I somehow decide to format my card.
As I said earlier try a partition recovery software.
Expert Advice:
Follow XDA rule #1 and use search. We have many topics about users formatting cards and then needing to recover data. This is a non-device specific topic so search whole site or even google.
Well you coud try Testdisk and Photorec
the site is cgsecurity
Or option 2 try recuva with deep scan enabled, also the option to scan for lost or damaged files should be turned on.

- Connect your phone trough USB cable and activate mass storage mode
- Depending on what files are lost (probably photos and videos), look for format recover software (Like recovery my files)
- Use it on mounted SD card
PS:
If you have used some part of your internal sd card after formatting, you probably lost some files forever, if you haven't yet, DON'T USE IT BEFORE RECOVERY !!

Give some app suggestions is fine. Once we have those, we know the key terms to search for.
I've tried cg-security apps, they're made for Windows/Linux/BSD etc, but won't install on android.
I tried aidfile installed on Windows but it won't detect the phone internal storage either.
I have all my photos.
I lost a database document that is 760mb. Most backupsoftware (Skydrive, Asus Webstorage, DropBox etc) won't upload it.
I sent the phone for warranty and they formatted my phone, and lost that document. I just need that back. It is in internal storage, there is no sd card on this android.
Try Recuva but don't get your hopes up. Not likely to work. If they've formatted the phone, it's gone. Android isn't like Windoze where 'files aren't really deleted'.
Edit - Also, beware of some (all ?) of the 'data recovery' apps on Google Play. Many (certainly the several I've tried) of the non-paid versions will go through their process of checking, and tell you that your file can be recovered, but you need to get the paid version of the app. You pay for the app, and then find they tell you the file recovers OK (funny about that, right ?) but is 'corrupted' (which is basically bull****, the file can't be recovered at all, but you paid for the app so they have to give you something, right ?) & useless. This scenario is highly likely in the case of a file like the one you're talking about if you do get suckered in by those apps.

You can't undo the formatted, but the data was not really gone, you still can use some data recovery tool to recover your photos.
You can try this guide about how to recover photos from Samsung Galaxy S II.
I recommend you backup your photos with Google Photos, it has 15GB free storage, I think it's enough for your 1 year's photos.

Wow, the guy posted 4 and half years ago, that's too late, don't you think? :silly:
Anyway, Late is better than never
Hello,
Recently, I have followed a tutorial to root Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 within 2.3.6. But, it wasn't precise and I have tried within 4.1.2. Device didn't boot, it stayed on SAMSUNG logo. I have could "reinstall" 4.1.2 and the mobile run correctly. But, after "reinstall", device didn't have access to internal SD card and it said "Space short (0bytes)". Whenever I launched a software (example camera), it said "Please disconnect mass storage" but device wasn't connect to something... I have an external SD card, the mobile see her and her capacity (example 2,2Go/4Go) but I haven't access too.
When I connect my phone to the computer, it sees external SD card and know play her contents. Computer sees internal SD card but not her contents and her storage capacity is -15045154 bytes...
I think, may be, ways to access sdcard0 and external SD card have been change in device.
I hope to find a solution to recover my files without reset and all lose, you are my last hope.
Best regards.
Hum, anyone an idea ?
how did you root your device? what options/commands did you execute? Maybe you've accidentally messed with the memblocks or something. Have you tried formatting your internal sd through your phone?
On tutorial, I had to put "update_su_I8160.zip" on my SD card (internal or external, it wasn't precise). So, I have her place to internal SD card. Then, reboot in download mode. I launched Odin, connected my phone to computer, put "I8160XXLD8_ready_to_root_ANT.tar.md5" in PDA, "Start". After this, phone has been reboot and lock on SAMSUNG logo. Then I had "reinstall" Jelly Bean.
I didn't formate internal SD, all will be lost.
Try to root your phone using this one:

And always put your flash files to your external sdcard, it's much safer that way.
Ok, external SD card, I don't forget.
Root is success. But, I I thought that uninstall applications imposed for example but I cannot...
So, the root didn't have change for my problem.
I thank you anyway to the solution to root !

Did you regain access to your internal sdcard my friend?
As you can see, the link that I gave you shows how to root ace 2 on GB (2.3.6) and JB (4.1.2). Hence, different android versions, had different ways of rooting. So if you flash GB and used the JB method of rooting, that may definitely cause some issues. That's what I seem to understand with regards to your prost, so please correct me if i'm wrong.
What do you mean by, "But, I thought that uninstall applications imposed for example but I cannot..."? Kindly elaborate.
Uninstalling applications is easy once the device is rooted. Did you have access to your phone after rooting to 2.3.6, or it just got stuck at boot logo on first boot?
Yes, two ways to root GB and JB. I had use GB root method on JB system and I didn't have access to my phone, only lock on boot logo.
For uninstall applications, there is a method in particular ? Or just Settings -> Applications -> Samsung Apps (I hate) -> Uninstall ?
To finish, I don't have access to internal SD card, again :/

That may have caused the problem, the way you root the phone. You should've used JB way of rooting JB and vice-versa. There are many ways to uninstall system apps, one way is via rootexplorer (needs root access), and delete apk's on 'system/app' folder. Or much more easier way is to use Root Uninstaller. Just be careful on deleting system apps. Some of them are necessary for the device to run, and by deleting those apps may cause bootloop or might get stuck at boot logo. But first, you need to fix your phone. Try reflashing ROM and proceed to the proper rooting process as per version. Goodluck!

I reading your link but I had see "The Solution is fairly straight forward, However It's not a repair and it is not possible to recover any data from the Internal memory."
If I not can recover data, I can do a reset :/

I just hope that yours was not a case of sdcard corruption. 'cause that link's topic was about corrupted internal sd. Try to flash the last working ROM that you had use, wherein the internal sd used to be detected.
Ah ok.
Jelly Bean is my last ROM (stock firmware by SAMSUNG) and it was reinstall correctly (after the "fail" with root GB on JB). But, nothing changes :/
I see (in recovery mode, Odin) "Leave CS...". What is this ?
Ok, it's the end...
I had try to reinstall stock firmware (the same that my phone) but I had obtain an error and now on boot my phone, I have "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I had try to launch "urgency restore", a full reset, but I had obtain a Korean message
So, it's a disaster.
Now, if it's possible, I want to reset my phone, I want to work. If not possible, go to after sales service...
I hate SAMSUNG, performances restricts , useless applications installed... to have to root the phone... AND FAIL.............
clean sdcard then use.
2 month ,i have had same problem

Sad to hear that buddy. If it's under warranty, you can try to send it to service center -but rooting voids the warranty- so i guess it'll be out of the option, unless you can revert to stock recovery. It's really hard to deal with hardware once it wears out.
The warranty wasn't SAMSUNG, I forgot
I have a luck, may be. Normally, they will go trade, or repair.
I abreast you. Topic will be closed soon probably.
I think my files in internal SD card are irrecoverable now. It's unfortunate.
I learned this week, SAMSUNG sucks for low cost offers. I think buy Nexus next time, so much less changes on Android (I hope).
Sir I have lenovo a6000 when I insert SD card it show 0bytes but show SD card and I cannot access it.
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.
Please please help me, I know it sounds pathetic but im nearly in tears due to how massive an impact this is having on my life!! :'(
Im willing to genuinely pay £10 via paypal to anyone who can help me fix my phone, I promise.
My phone is an LG Gt540.
I bought it 2months ago new on stock rom.
I managed to workout how to root it, and then upgraded its rom a few times over the next few days.
I eventually reached CM 4.2.1 rom, which is the highest available and worked well.
The phone has only 133mb internal space though, and so I needed something to increase the storage (using my SD card's space).
And so after many days of trying stuff I managed to find Mounts2sd.
I partitioned my SD card correctly (using mini partition wizard), and mounts2sd was working fine.
However 1 app didn't work, and so like an idiot I decided to re-flash the entire rom, wipe the sd-card, and try to restart from fresh.
However I endedup formatting; the SDcard, The SD ext, the System, and formatting everything in the menu in recovery.
The phoned bricked and wouldn't turn on.
But I managed to put my SD card in my laptop, have my laptop detect it as a 'device', and so was able to place the ROM file onto the SD card that way.
I then re-booted into recovery, and re-installed the rom.
I thought id fixed the phone, but clearly I hadn't.
And for the last 2weeks since, everytime I try to re-install mounts2sd, it just totally screws up and freezes up the phone.
I partition the SD card correctly each time, however when checking it in recovery it says SD-ext wasn't ever mounting (error mounting SD-ext) was the exact message.
I then tried to re-install a lower level rom (2.3.4 I think it is) onto the phone,
to then re-install CM 4.2.1 afterwards hoping that that would fix it all,
however the phone now wont detect the SD card at all!! :'(
The only way I could access the SD card normally is put it in the phone, plug in usb cable, it wont ever detect the SD card as a folder on my laptop like C: or D:, but if I use Mobile2go software from wondershare I was able to connect to the phone and access the SD card from there, and transfer files onto it that way.
However I now cannot do that, since when I try the phone will turn on but has error msg flashup every second saying something like keyboard has stopped working, and so it wont load the Mobile2go software, and so I cant connect to the SD card to put the 4.2.1 rom onto it.
I have tried placing the SD card into the laptop through the side-slot thing, and can access it via mini-partition wizard when I do that.
However the SD card is not being detected at all when I click on My Computer, and so I cannot place any files onto it! :'(
I seriously am so close to crying now, this has already had me in tears, as its so upsetting!
Please please can someone help me.
To summarise the things I need to be able to do (in order I guess) are-
1. Find a way of getting my phone to recognise and mount the SD card.
2. Find a way of getting my phone/laptop to detect the SD card and allow files (CM 4.2.1 rom) to be placed onto it so I can install that back onto my phone.
3. Find a way of being able to get the SD-ext to be recognised and detected as being mounted by the phone so that I can use Mounts2sd.
If anyone can help me do all those 3 things I will be so truly grateful and will happily pay £10 to you via paypal as a sign of my gratitude.
As this is just distressing and upsetting me so much.
Thankyou
Jessica

Hello and thankyou for your reply.
How exactly do I use 'kdz' to flash back to the 1.6 stock rom though please?
As I don't know any of these technical terms at all.
Anyone have their efs folder contents completely disappear?
This happened to me with my Sprint galaxy S 5 and I get a pop up saying the device is in " Factory Mode " and I need to switch it to user for it to work properly. The phone will boot with a stock recovery only but is useless due to the Factory Mode, it disables WiFi and causes numerous other issues .
Would greatly appreciate any input on this. It is all over the internet but nothing but no legitimate fixes after 30+ hours of research
Look at LG Swift GT 540 forum on xda, there are all tutorials, Now I cant post link for it bu google it "LG gt540 xda"

Sorry if this is the wrong section.
Yesterday i moved my SD Card Akyta 16GB from my old 4.4.2 tablet to a 6.0 phone.
The phone requested the SD Card to be formatted, so i did it because i had no choice, now i found out that all of my photos, videos and music were on the SD Card instead of the old tablet, so i lost everything :/
I know that there's a plenty of Recovery Software, but the majority requires a Card Reader, and I don't have one.
Do you guys know any Software for recovering media which support "Portable Device" mode and don't require a Card Reader? I tried with Remo Recover but after one try the program itself won't launch, i reinstalled it many times (I have Windows 7 x86 Ultimate)
I am waiting for your suggestions, i repeat, programs that don't need Card Readers. I tried every Playstore recovery software and they only show photos that are on the phone right now (undeleted photos, unharmed).
PS: My phone is rooted with SuperSU 2.79.
Salam Alaykum.
Best option is
Buy or borrow a card reader and restore on PC.
Be careful apps / software do not write on sd card because they will make recovery files that you formatted more difficult / impossible.
I can read and I know this is not the answer you r waiting for but believe me it is your best option.
On pc use Recuva from Piriform. Or Get data Back Simple Data Recovery from Runtime Software LLC.
If you do use any app on phone or tablet please try pc method with card reader after all also if the app on phone or tablet did not recover all files.
In that way you have more chance all files recovered.
I still think pc method is the best option but I'd if you will try any app if it exist on android.
I would be very careful before letting app recover files instead of a pc program!!
Goodluck and let u know if u got ur data back and how you got it back. ! :good:
