Hello,
I lost photos and videos 2 days ago and I flashed jelly bean after that.
I tried so many programs to recover lost photos and videos from my internal SD such as undelete (doesn't support ext4) , hexamob recovery pro (no files found) & Easy UMS with Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery on PC (didn't recognize the internal SD as removable device).
Would you please help me with this problem?
My device info:
Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300
Android 4.1.1
CF-Root 6.4
Stock Kernel
Not recoverable see multiple same question posts .
Nandroid backup may have the files on it .
jje
Thanks
I've been looking for many hours and read many threads in XDA and out but no result so I asked here to consult people with experiance.
And Nandroid backup didn't work
Thanks again
Hello everyone, i got a problem
i just bought a new phone (huawei ascend g630). I rooted it with towelroot.
today i opened my gallery and there where no pictures
i opened whatsapp, and i couldnt send stuff like pictures.
and i could only make a picture when my external sd card was inside my phone.
so it looked like my entire internal storage was gone, but with the app: root browser. i could see everything inside my internal storage.
so i think my internal storage cant connect to anything???
there is no cyanogenmod for my phone yet / cant find firmware for phone
i also cant find a tread about this.
I hope someone can help me!
(sorry my english is really bad ;p )
thanks

hi guys, my English is not very good, but I will try to ask you a question to help
I have a galaxy s3.
16 GB internal memory, 5 GB partition reserved for the system
There are 11 gb usable space(stored pictures, music and applications).I erased a few pictures from this area.
I have android 4.1.2 software fix for that, but I gave my phone for repair and the new 4.1.2 ROM has been installed.
and then I did completely fill the usable space(11gb)
and I'll ask you a few questions to help
1)I hope my pictures which deleted maybe can be free(such as /cache) area in 5 gb(can not be used)
Is it possible that something?
2)Does the software(android) is always installed same memory partition?what is pit file? and emmc chip?
3)ıf ı do root ,how much memory ı can scan?(11 or 16 gb)
4)if ı will scan diskdigger after doing root,How much memory scans(11 gb or 16 gb)?
5)İs data recoverable after have make wipe data /factory reset and wipe cache partition?
6)What installed 5 GB area can not be used ?I think OS does not take up that much space.Is there a free space in this area(5gb)?
I think 3rd party data recovery software can not recover one times overwritten data?(RECUVA,ANDROİD DATA RECOVER)
Is it true that?
7)CAN I RECOVER MY VİDEO AND PİCTURE ?
Thank you in advance to everyone who helped
Search and read for the hundreds of other posts, you can dump the entire partition to your pc and then use software to scan.
Your files are almost certainly gone, I've not heard a single person who got anything back.
I checked it. Are not same status
Help please
Hey everyone
Here's what's happening ... I have an Samsung Galaxy SM-J500FN 2015 model phone,
a while ago I rooted it (back then it was under Android v5) ... I wanted to tweak some settings but I did something terrible, I played with KNOX.
Apparently KNOX and root don't go well together, my phone wouldn't boot anymore (rebooting loop).
Anyway, it was nothing, I just used Odin and a fresh new Official ROM (Android Marshmallow v6.0.1) and my phone was working again.
But now I discovered something, my phone is supposed to have an Internal Storage of 8GB, and that's the amount my memory settings show, but something was wrong with that, so I searched and after some time I understood that even though it said 8GB, my true storage was 4GB.
(More exactly I had 8GB but 4GB were constantly full, not even used by the system).
After a day I understood what might have happened :
My older ROM that has crashed wasn't erased when I flashed the new ROM, so now half of my Internal Storage is occupied by default meaning that I have two partitions on my phone (similar to when you install Windows and Linux on one PC).
But I cannot find any way to erase/reset my phone totally to get back those 4GB of memory.
If you have some applications, tricks, advice of some sort that could help me, I would really appreciate
Thank you for your time.

Hi, how are you sir.
Ok, first thing you should know, that if your phone is labeled as an 8GB phone then you will only get 4GB no matter what you do, now there is no way that there are 2 roms on one system partition, what may be taking the space could be old data from the old rom like in /android folder and could possibly also be media files from apps that was installed in previous rom like Facebook photos, WhatsApp videos, pics, and voice messages...etc, installing stock rom with Odin doesn't erase any files, but it completely replaces the rom in system partition with new rom.
Okay I see, thank you.
But still, I've explored that 'Android' folder a few times, checked photos, documents, everything ...
Now what I don't really understand is this :
You will only get 4GB no matter what you do

Why is that ? Isn't there a way to access this memory ?
BTW : I didn't flash with Rooted Stock ROM, I used an Official Android 6.0.1 ROM from Samsung's Website
EDIT : My phone when started in Recovery Mode first says "No Command" with the Android Red Error logo, then opens the recovery mode like there never was no error involved ... That's one the things that made me say that my phone definitely had some issues with my older ROM.

the reason why you will get 4 only is because the 8GB includes system partition, data partition, cache, preload (if there is one) in addition to the space taken from the formatting, it's pretty much the same like when you buy a 8GB sdcard and you get only about 7.3GB, or when you buy a 16GB phone and you only have 11.5GB for media (my case..), or when you buy a 32GB phone and you find about 8GB already taken from the phone and you get to use about 23GB for media files (my dad's case and you'll notice that in any other 32GB phone), that's what i meant, you also can check any 8GB phone and you will find that he only has 4GB for media...i hope i explained it in an easy way.
in my case i have an s2 with 16GB
i only have 11.5GB for media, and there is 512mb system partition and 512mb preload, and 2GB data partition, and small cache partition.., so that makes it about 14.5GB in total, the missing 1.5GB is due to formatting as far as i know, same as the sdcards thing i said earlier..
p.s: those partitions are unaccessible by default, they are hidden from the user, only way to access them is by rooting the phone and using a root explorer.
Yes I knew about that, but I never knew it took so much place
Thank you for your answer, I guess my phone is totally normal
Hello everyone and thx for existing!
I've already found a lot of solutions just reading but at this point, for that particular problem, I really really didn't find anything helpful.
I just bought a J1 Mini Prime J106H running on Marshmallow, I rooted it.
I want to restore my SamsungCloud backup on it (coming from my former, deceased and beloved S7), except that the J1 has only 8Go or internal storage, so I bought a 32Gb Sdcard.
There is the trick: seems like impossible to do: I've tried to adopt the sdcard with RootEssentials, then with adb, apps like Link2SD or equivalents, I even tried to swap internal and external storage, looked like it worked with apps like ESFile or Filemaster (could see it exploring the phone) BUT SamsungCloud stays stucked with the original 8Gb and I still have the message not enough storage.
Please, I'm ready to try anything even flashing a custom rom (couldn't find one for the J106H) to be able to get back those really importants datas.
I'm really fond of your work, I learned a lot just reading (ADB, Odin, get out from a bootloop etc...) but on this one, I'm lost
Can somebody help me?
