Can Anyone help me, please? The phone literally itself without doing anything started doing a download(odin) mode loop. So I deleted data, dalvik, cache, system partitions without internal storage since it has very very important files for me and a lot of projects for the university!!! and before and after the folders in internal storage in twrp shows as random numbers and letters. I don't know why since when the phone was working normally I was protecting it by fingerprint and a password. And when I installed a stock ROM after it without wiping the internal storage. The storage is showing in negative. If anyone can help me this would be super appreciated and helpful. Thank you!
If there is a way I can use my password to decrypt the internal storage it would be insanely helpful!

I need the files today! I am literally disprate

to make a long story short, something went terribly wrong with my android phone, wiping my contacts and SMS. How do I go about recovering deleted files from internal storage (NAND)? And which files do I need if I only want to recover my contacts and sms?
I've spent the past 6 hours searching and attempting to recover them by following different tutorials, but no dice. Ive read an article where people were saying that if I take too long, I will not be able to recover my data. Please please help me as I really need to get my important data back. I'll return the favor by buying you a beer or something! THanks in advance for your help!
" Ive read an article where people were saying that if I take too long, I will not be able to recover my data. "
Although I can't help you with the actual issue of getting the data back, I believe it is not so much taking time to recover your data which will delete it, but how much data is rewritten to your phone (which could overwrite the previous data) atleast thats how it works on desktops...
My only idea would possibly to have a look for a .trash folder in the root directory of the phone's memory, or maybe look for a LOST+FOUND folder, hopefully this will be of some help to you!

If you wait too long, but there is no current running to the device, the data on the flash storage will not change. Flash has more data remnance than a magnetic storage. What is important is not the time taken, but rather how much data has been written to the disk.
I hope you have a nandroid backup of your device, if not, see if it's possible to boot to clockworkmod now and make a backup.
Using this disk image, you can then use flash memory data recovery tools to recover the data you need.
Hope this helps.

good idea, so I was able to boot into Clockworkmod recovery, and right now i'm making a backup through that recovery. So once the backup is created, how do i go about getting my contacts and sms back? like which files do i need to recover?
EDIT: Here's what I'm getting when trying to create a backup:
SD Card space free: 6075MB
Backing up boot...
Backing up recovery...
Backing up system...
Backing up data...
Can't mount /data!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
^operation stopped while trying to back up data, for some reason it could not mount /data.
despite the operation halt, clockworkmod was still able to create a backup that contains 3 files: boot.img (about 4.4MB), recovery.img (about 5KB), and system.img (about 370MB).
ok now how can I open system.img to look the for my contacts and sms? and what would be the file names?
The data issue means that the data partition is corrupted. The only option is to format it.

yea i gave up. went ahead and reformat/reflashed my rom. fortunately i was able to find a really old backup of my contacts, but that's better than losing everything. thanks
you can install a recovery apk your phone or recavery app your camputer and then recovery informations from your phone
You can find many Android phone data recovery applications that advertised to be able to recover files from SD card if you search on Google, but which one can recover data from Android internal storage? Luckily FonePaw Android Data Recovery just supports Android phone internal storage recovery. The program is a professional data recovery tool for Android phones and tablets. It can retrieve lost files from SD card inside Android devices as well as internal memory of the Android devices. You may interested in what files the program can recover, let me tell you. Lost pictures, videos, contacts, text messages, documents, audio files can all be retrieved effectively no matter how you lose it.
Hi, I'm fairly new to XDA, flashing custom roms and rooting, but I'm really desperate right now.
I know many people probably already have had the same issue, but after searching all over the internet i didn't find my exact problem.
I used Nitrogen OS on my Pocofone F1, but after 1 Month of usage I wanted to try MIUI again, an important thing I remember is that i flashed a new kernel,
but I don't know if that makes any difference.
I made a backup of MIUI without any data on it (i made a hard reset before, so nothing would go wrong) and then installed Nitrogen OS the correct way (i wiped dalvik, data, ...) and everything, even installed the decrypter and everything worked fine.
Now I deleted dalvik, data, cache, ... and loaded the Backup of MIUI and as soon as I booted I suddenly got a bootup password, even though i should get nothing at all because it's basically a clean install.
I tried the normal password that i used all the time, but it didn't work, so i decided to get back to twrp.
Now i got a decryption password, that i don't know and the internal memory is 0 bytes large.
I loaded the nitrogen os backup that i also made, but it didn't work.
I read on other forums, that i should format my internal memory and try to flash the disable-force-encryption again, but i don't really know what to do exactly. i know how to format the memory, it's on the bottom when you want to delete data, dalvik, cache,... but still... .
Even if my phone is briked now, can anyone help me? I really don't know what to do

First of all your phone isn't bricked. It's going to be ok.
The bad thing is that you will lose your internal storage.
The procedure to format data is :
(While in twrp) "mount"-> check "data"-> "repair change file system" -> format your data partition.
After that, no password will be asked. Now wipe system davlik cache and data and reboot into recovery again.
If you have sd card installed start flashing. If you don't, you need to plug into a pc and copy what you need inside your internal storage.

when i go to mount, i can't check data, because it doesn't appear, the List:
Cache
System
Vendor
Firmware
Cust
Persist
USB-OTG
Micro SD card
I use twrp on the version 3.3.0-0
when i go to "wipe" -> "format Data" it says that it will also remove the encryption should i do that?

Yes. That's the solution. After that your device will get encrypted again on reboot, unless you flash encryption disabler. I would suggest keeping the encryption and not flashing anything more

The error 7 occurs due to outdated vendor/firmware. Download latest firmware and flash it before the rom you want (for example if you want to clean flash a rom: wipe system, davlik, cache, data.. flash firmware.. flash rom [you won't get error 7].. flash gapps.. reboot)

i'll try that next to get back to miui, i think i'll be able to do the everything else on my own thanks for everything
hello,
As I face some issues with my rom thought to do a fresh start by resetting the data partition via orange fox recovery which bases on twrp and try to flash another rom. but once I wiped the data partition recovery could not decrypt the internal storage data on the next boot. honestly, this issue happens to me several times, and thus thought to start a thread for some helping hands for this issue. if anybody faces this please let me know the solution. thanks
somehow I got the data partition decrypted by re-flashing the same rom

You didn't get it decrypted. It's still encrypted but since you flashed the same rom that was there, the encrypted data partition is readable again. If you try to install a different rom you must FORMAT data partition to decrypt it. Wiping is different from formatting.
Sent from my curtana using XDA Labs
Well Me too faced this with "Curtana"
I forced to use SD card to copy the rom to phone and install it.
( I will test today Pixel experience Recovery to make sure )
Recovery tested:
-Pitch black recovery project
-twrp by mauronofrio
You could have sideloaded the ROM from your computer. No need to use separate SD card for ROM installation and it's also faster.

my adb sideload is not working. it's goes on then say failed. what to do?
Hi everyone,
I have a issue with my device I wiped system cache and vendor dalvik cache but skipped data as I always do but for some reason I am unable to decrypt data after clean install of Lineage OS. Actually I wanted to remove Magisk so I just wiped those and installed same version of Lineage that was on my device. Even TWRP is unable to decrypt now. Any help is appreciated.

I have same issues as well. Did you manage to find a solution?
I tried to flash whatever LineageOS ROM was available but I was unable to decrypt as after a time I got message that the encrypted block might have been corrupted since my password was correct it can not decrypt full data and partial decryption was not possible.
I had to WIPE ALL and start afresh again. But I would suggest you to try different versions (different build dates) of Stock LineageOS ROM to try to decrypt data before you give up.
Last resort if WIPE ALL and start afresh as there is no way that I know of for partial decryption or external backup and decryption.

would you mine explain some more about WIPE ALL? Like in formatting? Because format is no used for me and I did make sure there is no password.
Wipe All means: Wiping Data + Cache + Internal Storage
(complete fresh start of ROM without anything on phone, similar to formatting all data on device or factory reset on stock decies)
Well you should only do Format data only as last resort to make phone usable since decryption is no more possible.

Well I tried everything you mentioned and nothing work. All i got is a while bunch of "error opening" "permission denied" with my internal storage. And bootloop if i install anything not Lineage based
Well installing other ROMs other than official LineageOS ROMs will not work. It seems either your storage has been corrupted like mine was.
If that is the case then formatting data and storage could be the only solution to make your phone work again, but that will mean you are starting from fresh on your phone without any data. (YOU WILL LOSE ALL ENCRYPTED DATA.)
In LineageOS you have to completely wipe data to remove encryption. There's no other way.
Hi, Orangefox can't wipe data, it gives me this error: unable to mount storage. I think the problem is that the data partition is somehow encrypted, but i haven't encrypted it so now I can't decrypt it because I don't have the password. I've already tried with the unlock password but it fails. I know the easy solution would be to format all data including internal storage but I would like to avoid that possibility. Do you know what can I do?
(The CrDroid rom I was installing before this problem occurred is in bootloop, so I can't access it).
Have you tried other recovery? TWRP, PE, Miui.
TWRP tells me the same thing: Unable to mount storage
I think the only solution is to format data. Is there a way to recover the files? I have no backup.
Data return is possible. Formatting must not be done and you must load the ROM from which the data came. That is, the last working ROM. After running it, then back up the data and only then try a new ROM where the data will be formatted.

How do i load the rom? I can't install it with TWRP, it says:
Devices on super may not mount until rebooting
recovery.
To flash additional zips, please reboot recovery to
switch to the updated slot.
I've tried also with OrangeFox, same error
OK, the problem was relative to the A/B slots: by switching to the other slot I managed to install and access to the rom. Now I can recover the files, so I can format data without problems. Thank you!
