Android Phone as Flash Drive - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently lost my flash drive for transferring files from pc to another and I don't have any options for now since the community quarantine due to covid-19 in our place. I was thinking about using my phone (Xiaomi Redmi Note 7) as a flash drive to store software like offline games then transfer it to another pc. Would that be possible?

[Q] HELP: How to recover lost data from Samsung Galaxy S2?

Hi everyone,
I am in some trouble. I have accidentally deleted all my photos from my Samsung Galaxy S2 before a couple of hours. They were stored in Camera folder of my phone Gallery. Plus I have deleted one hidden folder as well which contained my personal data (videos) which was very important.
I know I should have been more careful, but I cant help it now. I searched on internet about how can I recover my lost data, but didn't come to any conclusion. Now, you guys on this forum are my last hope to get my data back if I can.
Is there ANY way its possible to recover the data that I have deleted? Please let me know guys, I need your expertise to resolve this problem.
I am having Samsung Galaxy S2 [GT-I9100 model] [ Android version: 2.3.3]
Thanks a million...

Hi Jokesy,
Thanks a lot for the link. I went through it, I installed that software as well. but the problem is that, the software shows ONLY my computer hard drive. it just doesn't show my mobile disk.
Means, I have connected my mobile through the USB cable. So it shows "connected" on my mobile screen. But that software just doesn't pick it up. I can restore the files that I have deleted from my PC but not from my mobile. I haven't kept the option for USB debugging ON, its OFF. But I am not sure if that has anything to do with this. Because when I tried with USB debugging: ON, it still doesn't show my mobile storage in the software console. I don't have any external SD card, I have lost my data from my PHONE memory, the one we get inbuilt [11GB].
Is there a way I can make the software detect my phone memory and try to restore my deleted data? Any help would be appreciated

You need to connect your phone as mass storage.
Enable USB debugging under application settings, then reconnect your phone again to your Pc

I did that, but for some reasons, its just not showing my mobile as external storage. It just shows me 2 new drives like Removable Disk H: and Removable Disk I:. But when I click on them it asks me to "please insert a disk into drive". So basically when I do the debugging: ON, my phone is not getting detected a a storage unit. But on the phone it says that "USB Connected, select the files to copy from your computer". But the photorec software, still doesn't pick it up.
Is there anything that I am missing? Attaching the snapshots... :crying:
Do you really know how to use your mobile phone?
When you connect your phone, open your notification drawer and turn on USB storage!

Got it now, I am so sorry. Stressed up
Will let you know how it goes...
Way to copy & paste from here (Yes it was that obvious the words weren't yours).
When you deleted something in your phone, first remember not to use your phone again, including text, calling,and try to recover the data you want first. After that, you may use you phone.
I also recommend using google drive and google+. All my photos and videos are there. 15 gigs on standard and if you download quickoffice on your device and link with google drive u will receive another 5 or 10 gigs. I presume 20 -25 Gb is more than enough. The best part ? A good wi-fi connection and google drive installed on the PC and phone and you can access your files anywhere. Add astro file manager for transfering files from internal memory to google drive and viceversa.

Have you gone to Google play store and done a search for "undelete".
I have accidentally deleted stuff in the past and this worked for me. I can't remember which on I used... Will search and edit it in. undeleter by fahrbot. I even shelled out for the premium version. So must have liked it.

[Q] Android Data Recovery

Hello
I have accidently overwritten some photos on my Google Nexus 7 and would love to get them back. I`ve tried various recovery programs on Windows but none of them can read my tablet in MTP mode and I can`t connect it in mass storage mode. I have read that one way is to make a VHD image via RAW of the hard drive onto the pc, where the recovery programs can access it. The trouble is I I think have to root the tablet which i don`t really want to do
1) Is there a way of creating this file without rooting?
2) Does anyone know of a recovery program that uses MTP?
3) If I really HAVE to root, whats the least destructive way of doing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Android operating system has changed the entire concept of smart phones and given it a new dimension. Now people know, how different is to use an Android smart phones than any other smart phones. With so many exciting new apps being developed every now and then, it is really very hard to lash yourself to use only one or two. Now, your Android phone is turned more like a storage device with lots of snapped pictures, audio & video files, latest exciting apps, mails, messages and so on. In situations like this, losing or accidentally deleting file is a common issue that most of the Android users face.
I used an app called Undelete once at it worked well.

[Q] app data transfer between phones

Hello
I have a rooted Samsung S2 (i9100). I recently purchased an LG G2 phone, and there are a number of apps I want to transfer - including their data - from the Samsung to the LG. However, the latter is not rooted (and I can't root it, because of workplace restrictions), which precludes using Titanium Backup or such. The Samsung is using Android 4.1.2 with a custom ROM and the LG is running Android 4.4.2 with the stock ROM.
I tried using Helium, but it doesn't work on the Samsung for some reason, when I connect my PC to the Helium server running on the Samsung and try to backup apps, I get a virtually empty ZIP file. Complicating the issue, I can't connect the Samsung to the PC using the USB port, as its USB port is malfunctioning (I can charge using it, but the PC doesn't recognize the phone), leaving WiFi as the only option for connection.
So to summarize, I need an app which does the following:
1) Backs up applications including data on a rooted phone.
2) Does not require a USB connection between the source phone and a PC.
3) Allows installation of the app, including data, on a different unrooted phone.
Does anyone know of an app which can do this?
Thanks

How do I backup the Android OS AND all data...onto my computer?

Gentlemen/ Ladies,
As the topic states, ....How do I backup not only the data (photos, video & contact lists)...BUT also the Android OS onto my computer?
I ran into a situation that my phone's WiFi is turning OFF itself, and I do not want to use the T-mobile data LTE for backup onto the Google.
I would first like to fully backup ALL, especially the Android OS.
My phone is Google/LG Nexus 5-Hammerhead, Android 6.01 Marshmallow. I was looking at google play store but most of those are ONLY for photos, video & contact list backup.
Truly appreciated.
p.s. After a FULL backup, I may need to download/ install the FirstEver Android 8.1 .
Thank you again,
