General :: Recover Data From Data Partition
Sep 4, 2012
Just as I said in topic - I runned out of memory on my SGSII on internal and sdcard and moved some pictures to /data/myfolder by using Root Explorer, then I've accidentaly deleted it. Is there any way to get the data back?
1) I cant mount /data so it can't be visible on My Computer
2) I couildnt find any app on Market which could recover deleted files from /data partition
EDIT:
Maybe there is a way to make a FULL IMAGE of data partition so I could scan it from my PC with some software for lost files? somehow?

I got this 16G sdcard that from one day to another it stopped being recognized saying "blank card or has unsupported file system"
Besides the data, I had some applications installed on it.
I did tried to recover with a software, but even the software only can recognize space is occupied, but can't see it.

I got a notification that my filesystem start to be full, I was really surprise so I take a look to it with the shell and here is the result
root@android:/data # df /data/
Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/data/ 2.0 G 1.9 G 59.2M 4096
root@android:/data # busybox du -sh *
200.0kanr
336.5Mapp
[Code] .....
336M + 222M + 217M = 785M
So where is the others 1.2G ?

I recently went about updating my tablet, and in the back of my mind I was under the impression that TWRP would backup the internal sdcard's files during the normal backup, so I thought nothing of wiping the internal sdcard. Whoops. It, of course, didn't, and now I find myself with a whole slew of stuff gone. Not much else was written to the internal sdcard (which is on an ext4 filesystem), so I suspect that a good bit of my stuff can still be sitting there in the data graveyard.
Since I'm on Linux and can't mount the sdcard directly (since for some odd reason Linux has issues with MTP), all I've been able to do was this:
I booted the tablet into recovery mode and opened up adb, and ran the following command through the adb shell:
Code:
~ # dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p1
Where mmcblk0p8 is the internal sdcard with the lost data, and mmcblk1p1 is an external sdcard. I thought that by running that command, I could create a carbon copy of each and every little thing on the old sdcard, write it onto something my computer could read, and then go through the normal recovery process. In this case I planned to use a Linux tool called "extundelete."
Here's where I get stuck. The sdcard appeared to have cloned correctly, given that the entire thing is now filled up and reads as an ext4 filesystem on gparted (when it was previously fat32), but now I can't mount it. And if I can't mount it, I can't restore anything. Here's what I get when I try to mount it:
Code:
Error mounting /dev/sdb at /media/user/57f8f4bc-abf4-655f-bf67-946fc0f9f25b: Command-line `mount -t "ext4" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/sdb" "/media/user/57f8f4bc-abf4-655f-bf67-946fc0f9f25b"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
So to sum it up, I accidentally wiped my tablet's internal sdcard using TWRP 2.3.3.0, and now I want to recover what was lost during the wipe. Not that it matters, my tablet is a Transformer Infinity.

It appears as unformatted BUT, I know that the data is still there because the CWM manages to browse files if I get into the menu "install zip from /sdcard1", but it can't see anything if I try a "restore from sdcard1"...
So I have an ubuntu build and I'd like to try to repair the "masterboot" .
I never did this before so I don't really know what I need, SDCard is 32 GB class 10.
When I plug my phone from CWM and enable the mount the SDcard on usb I got this error message :
Error mounting: mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock
Here is the result of the "fdisk -l" command :
Code:
Disk /dev/sdb: 32.0 GB, 32018268160 bytes
32 heads, 63 sectors/track, 31019 cylinders, total 62535680 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x4d544f4f
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 2048 62535679 31266816 b W95 FAT32
Which actually looks weird, I thought that my sdcard were ext4 formated, well but I am not 100% sure about that...
Here the result of the command "fsck -y /dev/sdb1"
Code:
fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
dosfsck 3.0.12, 29 Oct 2011, FAT32, LFN
/
Contains a free cluster (2). Assuming EOF.
FAT32 root dir starts with a bad cluster!

My rom bootlooped somehow, and I was forced to clear the data partition. Now I want to recover the messages and put them in the (clean) rom.
I extracted /data/data/com.android.providers.telephone/databases/mmssms.db from the nandroid backup before I cleared /data.
I tried copying these files into the rom but the messaging app doesn't show any difference. Is there a way to salvage the messages?

Not so long ago I flashed a custom rooted ROM. After this I realized that I forgot to save some important app configs (im history, notes). As far as I know, Android uses ext4 filesystem on its root partition. Is there a way to perform undelete or any other method to try to recover deleted files? Searching the forums gives some results of repairing data on internal storage, but I guess the user data space is meant, not the root. My device is Huawei U8850 Vision, Android version 4.1.2.

I have a SAMSUNG Galaxy SII, and a Sandisc 16 GB HD micro SD card, 3 days ago I noticed a notification that says:"SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem"
I tried several times to take it off and put it back but with no luck, I put the card in the card reader & connected it to my laptop, the laptop (windows 7) did't recognized it either, and it suggested to do FORMAT to the card, So I did, and choose to format to FAT32 system..I was sure that recovery programs will recover my photos and videos...
I tried 4 programs to recover them, no single photo was recovered, it just looks like a brand new Sd card now...the card now is working normally now...

Recently a strange partition (storage area?) Appeared on my phone. it is simply called 'data' and it would seem my phone has set this as the new default app installation area. it's 3gb in size..
When I plug it into the computer, The other storage (internal and sd card) are unavailable, as is normal, but this data partition can still be accessed.
How can I transfer over this data back to internal storage (the internal storage on my droid 4 is 8gb) and set the phone to use the internal storage as the default storage space?
Phone is rooted.

I have a Mocordroid with scp6820a cpu rooted
First some objections:
1- The sdcard is used in vfat filesystem, move simplely /data folder to sdcard will be cause some problems
2- Copy /data to /mnt/sdcard/data will not work completly because we got some error of permission
Code:
adb shell
Code:
cp -r /data /mnt/sdcard
cp: can't create directory '/mnt/sdcard/data/misc/bluetoothd/FA:2B:B7:4E:90:59': Invalid argument
cp: can't create symlink '/mnt/sdcard/data/data/org.mariotaku.twidere/lib': Operation not permitted
cp: can't create '/mnt/sdcard/data/data/com.estrongs.android.pop/files/comm/tool_port': Operation not permitted
cp: can't create symlink '/mnt/sdcard/data/data/com.toss.removeappwidget/lib': Operation not permitted
[Code] .....
So first thing i change size of sdcard, decreasing the partition size, and add a second partition with 3 Gbytes using ext2. To do this
Unmount the sdcard in settings>storage>unmount sdcard. I need discover where is the partitions
Code:
fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0
[Code] ....
For secure i reboot device, and umount card again. So format the second partition
Code:
mke2fs -t ext2 -m0 -b4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
And reboot again. This was hopeful action that it would recognize the card. But not ...
Code:
# mkdir /mnt/sdext
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/sdext
mount: No such device
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/vold/179:2 /mnt/sdext
mount: No such device
In My Epic Fail I was not successful
BEFORE that I wrote i try several tentactivies, apps but i m thinking that use adb will be the more better.
What is the best way, my internal device have less than 200 MB internal, so is too little !!! Maybe i will need change fstab or init scripts.

My phone has 4GB internal ROM with below partitions:
1. mmcblk0p1 1024 ebr1
2. mmcblk0p2 10.00 MB protect_f ->EXT4
3. mmcblk0p3 10.00 MB protect_s ->EXT4
4. mmcblk0p4 750.00 MB android ->EXT4
5. mmcblk0p5 376.00 MB cache ->EXT4
6. mmcblk0p6 1.20 GB usrdata ->EXT4
7. mmcblk0p7 1.27 GB fat ->VFAT
Now, mmcblk0p7 (1.27 GB of vFAT) partition is used as sdcard1 but I also have a 8GB of mnt/sdcard partition. So, the mmcblk0p7 partition is totally useless in my phone. My questions are:
1. Can I add/merge mmcblk0p7 partition with mmcblk0p6 (/data) partition?
2. Or, Can I re-size/increase my mmcblk0p6 (/data) partition from mmcblk0p7
3. Or, Can I make the mmcblk0p7 as a swap partition like linux OS?
My Phone info:
Chip: MTK 6572
Android Version: 4.2.2
Basebad version: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V1.P1, 2013/07/13 13:02
Kernel version: 3.4.5

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?
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.

I have the following issue:
My old phone is a rooted htc vision (android 2.3). I want to transfer app data (savegames, settings, whatsapp verification, etc...) to my new phone which is an unrooted nexus 5.
I have titanium backups of my 2.3 apps but i can't use them on my nexus 5 as it is not rooted.
Is there a way to use the titanium backup files with helium (which works without root)?!
Or do i have any other opportunity to get the existing app data from the old phone to the new one without rooting the nexus?

how to sanitize my phones' internal memory.
I have an HTC ONE, and a Samsung Galaxy S4 that I am trying to sell. I know that it's fairly easy to recover data from a wiped partition by using programs like "TenorShare Android Data Recovery", unless data has been written over them at least once.
I had taken pictures of some documents containing highly sensitive data with the phone, and would like to make sure that those documents are not recoverable by the next user.
Neither of them have the USB Mass Storage option in the settings, so I can't just use some secure wipe program.

I'm planning on increasing my EXT2 partition space to around 4-5GB as I only have 100mb left of 2.5GB.
Do I have to copy and paste my EXT2 files to my main partition of the SD Card and change the partition size and paste it back into EXT2?
Is it also possible if I do this without having to lose all of my data?

This usually happens after some wifi activities, but i've noticed that whenever my wifi fails to connect or sometimes even when i disconnect from a wifi server, i lose my data connection (im operating on edge with rogers).
This can usually be solved if i restart my phone but obviously thats not ideal. anyone else have this problem? is it a known issue?

I'm making an Android Java app game (although this question applies to all languages really) and hope to release the first version soon. I'm nervous about how I save data in my game. My problem is that, if in a later update, I decide to store more data or store the same data in a different way, I need to be careful I don't lose or corrupt data for users that upgrade (i.e. I want users to be able to use data created by an old version in the new version, like their high scores from before).For example, say I want to save high scores in version 1.

In android 4.0 and above there is the option in the data usage settings, to turn mobile data on and off. What difference does it exactly make? As fas as I tested, I still can take a look at my mobile data usage, even though it is tuned off in the data usage settings.
According to this source of Google
[URL]
turning it off means:
Quote:
If it's off, you won't be able to use mobile data at all and many features of your phone and apps won't work correctly.
what they mean by "...use mobile data at all..." (since I still have 3G) and what features there could be?

I'm wondering if on an android device there's a way to force it to keep open a wifi connection that is not used for data, for example to a Seagate Goflex Satellite (WiFi HDD) or eye-fi (WiFi SDHC) while also being simultaneously connected to 3G for data. Obviously connecting to 2 wifi connections is out of the question.

I'm trying to limit my mobile data usage with out jumping through hoops.
I'm looking for a widget, that with one click of a button, it can restrict background data, disable auto-sync and enable mobile data, and when pressed again, enable WiFi, disable background restriction and enable auto-sync.
This function, no matter how trivial, would save time and effort.
Is there anything like this out there? Would something like this require root?
