Help recovering data from HTC One M9 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a "HTC One M9" that had the main PCB damaged to the extent of being non repairable.
So, i desoldered the eMMC Nand & found the pinout's for the FBGA package, which i then adapted to an SD Card and managed to successfully dump the Nand using "DD" in Linux.
I then extracted the "data" partition as userdata.img using Testdisk (Around 24gb Size)
When i open the .img with a tool like "Linux Disk Reader" i can see all the folders with valid names but there is no data to be extracted (See attached screen capture).

I mainly need to recover the photo's on it in the "DCIM" Folder...
Is it possible that there is some sort of encryption going on, or is it more likely corrupted ???
Any advice would be greatly appreciated !
Cheers

Anyone ???
:fingers-crossed:

Look at "media" folder

Yes, that would be the obvious thing to do...
Unfortunately if you were to actually read my post, there are no files in ANY of the folders.
Which is why i posted for advice here.

Why don't you just try it, then you'll know
Don't forget to back up your original void.fstab file.
I personally use this kind of phone on my previous phone (galaxy SL). It had only 4gb internal (around 1.5 useable). But on this phone I don't think this really a necessity. HD games and other memory consuming apps can be saved with a lot of excess space.
Update us if it works.
Will do a nandroid backup and will try! I'll post here the results
So i have very good news guys! This does work in perfection and here are some screenshots to prove it
With original vold.fstab:

}
With modified vold.fstab:
And in attachments the modified vold.fstab and the original one!
Use this with caution and of course: YOU NEED TO BE ROOTED!
Have fun!
Will learn to make a CWM that backups the original to the /sdcard and that clears /cache and dalvik cache! Or if anyone can make it for me i would be very thankful!
Thanks in advance!
Yeah,this works great,thanks.
First time I did this though I didn't backup the vold.fstab in the original directory in which I modified it.On the Galaxy W it caused me no end of problems,so I learn't my lesson.

[Q] SP Flash tool not picking up FAC.img MT65xx

Hey Everybody!
So im trying to flash the complete system on my Lenovo S6000-H (16GB WiFi and 3G, MT6589) with a stock rom to get rid of all the branding.
Im using S6000_A422_101_017_131009_WW_SMS which I got from another post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368913&page=7) number #66.
It downloads parts of the ROM fine but when trying to do a full system upgrade it wont find the FAC.img which is in the scatter file and in the "target_bin" folder.... Where does the program pick up the file paths from or is there a file that tells SP flash tool where they are??
I have tried using 3 different versions of Flash tool aswell as i did read it may be a bug but didnt help.
See Attachment
Hope you can help!

Change your rom
Hi there, when that happens what you have to do is to select manually the FAC file, just click twice over the FAC file and select it in your folder. After that, the tool will read the file and the flash should be good.

extract/work with partitions inside full eMMC chip dump (EFI-Qualcomm)

I have a dd-like dump from the emmc flash chip of a dead LG G3.
This is how it looked in Windows device manager when the chip was connected to the MMC reader:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How can I get the individual partitions out of that file so that I can further work with that data? Eventually down to the file level. Mounting the individual partitions should be no problem (?) once I get to them.
But so far I am running into lots of problems and all tools and methods described seem to be for somewhat older devices that does not work with EFI structures. Mounting the whole file under Linux with losetup and as loop only throws errors or empty stuff.
My dump file starts with
Code:
EFI PART....\...~Bƒ4............
And that's where I believe the problem lies. The farthest so far I did get with testdisk - it recognizes some partitions and can even get to the files. But it does not, for example, recognize the partitions' names (aboot, boot...) even though the names are right in the beginning of the dump file.
Isn't there an image manager or something to deal with this stuff, prefer Windows and GUI for that?

Hi all, I have a car GPS device, NAVIX NVX 9609 DHD model. The device has Chinese Windows CE 6.0 installed. I found that EasyConnected.exe can support the phone screen through usb connection. Even though I installed it with 'EasyConnected install.exe' on the micro sd card I formatted in fat32 format, it does not work and it does not give any warning. There is a line like '<autoconnect autocon = "2" />' in the xml file cfg in the folder EasyConnected, do I need to change anything? If any idea on this matter helps you please.
Best regards

Any help please

Hey guys I hope you are all well.
I still can't seem to figure out why I can't access my phone storage. Internal has been mounted within TWRP , but my files are not detected if I look under file manager. So the phone sees the internal storage, and shows the amount of storage, but can't move files into it. Any ideas of a fix?

Sorry for the bad quality pics. Taking with another phone. As you can see, phone sees the storage, but there are no files..I'm unable to copy or do anything. Only time I can copy files to the internal storage, is if I'm in TWRP.
