My Poco phone went into a reboot loop I had to wipe all my data I have managed to log in again Is there a way to recover my data? I have tried Dr Fone, EaseUS, Recoverit, Recuva, Fonepaw etc and they cannot find the data on my phone My phone is not rooted Any suggestions of how I can access the data? Please help!
The listed tools all require that phone's Android is rooted, for whatever reason.
Despite the fact that the data are still physically present, IMHO there is no chance to recover the data you wiped this because they no longer can be found/ accessed by ADB etc.pp

A couple of weeks ago, my SGS II crashed really badly and affected my phone in that I kept getting force close messages as well as "System UIDs Inconsistent" ones plus I couldn't access the partitions within my phone in Windows Explorer even though the phone was recognised by it.
It looks as though I may need to do a factory reset which to me is going to be a pain in the ass especially where videos and MP3's are concerned.
Another problem is that even though I installed VillainROM and followed the rules to the letter concerning its installation, supposedly I didn't install the system recovery that was unique to it and which would have made things a lot easier for me.
I don't even know if there is a way to backup data from the partitions to a 16GB or bigger micro SD card within the regular system recovery or not.
If I do need to a factory reset, are there any Apps out there that will let me recover data from the internal partitions as long as I don't write over the lost data concerned? (I know there's software available for PC that does something similar with data stored on hard drives)
Well on Cutom ROM you can use Titanium Backup Pro for Backup and Restoring. On Stock ROM's even Kies would do.

That's the irony, I actually had Titanium Backup installed on my VillainROM custom ROM and I'd even bought an upgrade to the Pro version but for some reason, it wouldn't let me upgrade to the full version even though I had a license for it that I paid for, and as a result, it wouldn't let me do a full backup without having to do it slowly.
If I did reinstall Titanium Backup and managed to get my problem sorted out, would it recover deleted data or not?
Titanium Backup would only restore what it previously backed up.
The most easy way would be to just dump your data partition into a tarball (given you have root access on your phone).
Just hop into a terminal or adb shell and do
Code:
su
busybox tar zcvf /sdcard/data.tar.gz /data
That will give you a full .tar "backup" of all the data on the internal data partition.
Restoring that to app after a wipe and reinstall can be a bit pain in the poo, but it's better than nothing - and a recovery of previous files after a wipe would at best give you the same.

How do I go into a terminal or adb shell? I'm using Windows 7 if that's any help?
For Terminal install a Terminal App from the marketplace on your phone and run it directely on it.
ADB you get from the Android SDK.

I take it that once I do the factory reset on the phone and install a Terminal App on it via Android Market, I just need to run the command that you recommend that I do and I should be able to recover the data that was on my partitions, pre factory restore?
(Apologies for asking all these questions as I'm still a newbie when it comes to Android and I'm just pissed that this happened in the first place because of the overheating that caused it to happen in the first place)
What if I select advance restore in CWM recovery and restore data? Will it affect the flashed rom?

No, you run the command BEFORE the factory wipe and use the tarball you got to restore any data you still need.

Should work too, but depending on *what* borked up the install (might be some setting/config/piece-of-data somewhere) it will be restored as well - but definitaly worth a shot and pretty much "a must" to do those backups (I do them regulary).

No program is free without compromise. If you factory reset without backup, there is not much you can do to recover deleted files. That's why such warnings exist before reverting back to a clean state.
You can try a Recuva download the program connect as storage device and try to scan Hope it helps

Recovery programs such as recuva work best on magnetic media such as pc hard drives. Flash storage on mobile phone are different as there are no moving parts, so recovery is not that easy. There is also a much higher likelihood of corruption on flash storage too when restoring deleted files, so that's why there is really no 'best' method for recovery.
How to Recover Deleted Data from Android after Factory Reset
When you perform a factory reset on Android, you will return the device to the condition it was when shipped from the factory. A factory data reset can help fix most issues that occur on Android. Any incorrect settings, glitches, bugs, viruses, or software problems on the device will be wiped clean.
But the files deleted from an Android phone aren’t actually wiped from its memory. Instead, the files are only marked as deleted and invisible. The system will write data over those files in the future. You can later use specialized data recovery tool to scan the Android memory for deleted files and try to recover them.

Got any tips on what software?
Respected by mistake, I reset the phone to factory settings.
So on that occasion I lost pictures, videos, viber pictures, messages and sms.
So I'm wondering how I can get back to my phone or computer.
And is it possible to set the phone as a usb device or sd card so that all the data on the computer is restored to the software (I managed to recover the data from the deleted usb from the usb device using recuva applications and the like)
Thanks

What you intend to achieve requires 1. the phone is rooted and 2. USB-Debugging is successfully enabled. Both requirements fulfilled?

The phone is rooted once but I'm not sure if it's done well.
So I should root it and then try with some apps to find the lost files in the phone?

I apologize: Device must NOT be rooted.
Carrying out a Factory Reset all your device data get wiped out, means you end up losing all your important user data before it is backed up. However, Factory Reset does not affect the external SD-card in any way. So, even if you have the SD card inserted with videos, images, documents and any other personal information in the Android device while carrying out a Factory Reset, everything will remain safe and intact.
Factory Reset is neither the best option anyway.
As long as after the Factory Reset no apps etc.pp. got installed on Android device, there is a chance you can recover deleted user data - but only if the related storage memory didn't get overwritten in between. So instead of recovering deleted files from Android without computer by an Android file recovery app, which could potentially overwrite the deleted files when the app is installed, you have a better chance to recover the deleted files with a desktop Android data recovery application on your computer. Dozens of those Windows applications are available, simply do a Google search for those.
I tried the root phone but failed.
Does anyone know how to root this model?
Thank you
Hi everyone, I have a Moto Z2 Force (US Cellular if that's relevant) that's bootlooped. I don't have USB debugging enabled and it's not rooted so my chances of fixing it are slim. I want to recover pictures, videos, and a gpx file. If a factory reset resolves the bootloop, is there any software (windows or Android) that I can use to recover the deleted files? I'm willing to pay for software. I read somewhere that I have an opportunity to recover files immediately after the reset, before anything is written to storage, but I'm a beginner with this stuff.
ADB / FastBoot is the door to any phone. Because you haven't enabled USB-debugging, I guess you have no chance to recover the files in question after a Factory Reset.
USB debugging creates a connection between Android Phone and Android Software Developer Kit. It usually involves the use of USB cable between your android phone and PC. This feature allows you to view your log files on the PC.
If you don't have USB debugging enabled,you can't access the data on phone.
Let me clarify, after resetting I would be able to enable USB debugging etc, assuming that resolves the bootloop. Sorry if I wasn't clear. The question is about recovering data lost after the factory reset.
@motorolol
A Factory Reset wipes the user-storage used, data housed there become unaccessable. You need forensic tools to recover them.

There is no guaranty that you can recover the files. Deleted does mean deleted. But there are a few programs out there that MAY be able to help.
A few of the programs you could try would be... DiskDigger, MobiKin, EaseUS and Tenorshare. They are all data recovery programs. There are many others out there, so check around and see which you would rather try.

Without root? Probably not.

Android OS doesn't have a Recycle Bin as that's the case with for example Windows OS, unless you install such an extension.

That is true, but, deleted data doesn't truly get wiped/removed unless the data is overwritten. When a file is deleted, it doesn't get deleted, it just gets marked by the system to be ignored until the next time the system needs to write data, at such times, it will write the new data over the data that has been marked.
Data recovery software does have the ability to find this data that has been marked for deletion and recover that data. But it requires root.

Most of the recently released higher-end Android devices running Android Lollipop or higher come with data encryption enabled out-of-the-box - in order to be more resistant to government snooping.
IMO even if it may be true that a data recovery software can find and recover deleted data, these data are encrypted and therefore without any use of all, unless you have appropriate forensic tools.
If I'm mistaken then please tell me the data recovery software that can bring back deleted data in decrypted way.
Data recovery software works for you, but all require the phone to be rooted, so you will need to do that first to your device. With root access, it can scan the files that would normally be inaccessible.
It can be recovered back with some data recovery software?If the.zip is too large,i tink it will be difficult to recover back.

I Do not mind rooting now, but !! my understanding is that if I root the device now., It will wipe off all my data in my phone, coz rooting the phone is another way of flashing?? It will be more hard to recover file if my phone is wiped out.

Yes, but, only if the rooting method requires unlocking your bootloader because unlocking the bootloader formats the data partition. But, if you can find a way of rooting without having to unlock the bootloader or flashing a custom recovery, it won't format your data partition.
Honestly though, your chances of rooting without unlocking bootloader or flashing custom recovery , aren't very good. To do so would require finding an app or PC program that is a "universal rooting tool" and it would require the tool having an exploit that works on your device.
Or, you could do a Google search for:
"Recover data android no root"
Then try the various tools and methods that finds, if you can find videos in that search, it may help you further.

I have a Motorola (Moto G9 Power) rooted with Magisk, but I decided to reset it (Via TWRP) after having some problem with charging speed.
After this I noticed that my phone are saying that 45% of my storage was filled with "Music" and "Photos", and I realized that these music and photos are the files stored on my phone before I reset it, I also tried resetting it by Android settings. I can't install NOTHING, apk, play store, camera, screenshot
Now I can only use my phone to browse on web and send SMS.
Is too much don't want to broke a basic function like system factory reset for just putting a custom recovery or rooting?
how did you "reset it via TWRP"?

I was just wiping without erasing user data (they still here, encrypted, so unaccessible), I'm kinda dumb with custom recovery and modding in modern phones
formatting from TWRP should work regardless of encryption. guess you meanwhile figured out.
another method is factory reset from fastboot
Code:
fastboot format:f2fs userdata
