[Q] Recover photos after factory settings by accident - HTC One X+

Hi! i need som help!!
With a mistake i did reset my HTC ONE X+ to factory settings by accident....
And i need to restore my photos, and is urgent .. But when i connect my HTC ONE X+ to my PC(win7) i do not get the opportunity USB Mass storage.. so i can't find the sdcard which is integrated in the phone 64 GB.. on my recovery program (Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery)....
Is it anybody in here that can help me ? I would be greatful if somebody could do that!!!
Thanks in advance ...

On your phone go to:
Settings --> Developer Options --> USB Debugging (you should enable that)
Then connect the phone via USB to your PC and it should be visible now. But I doubt that your file recovery software will work (((

it's the same... is it any possibilities for me to recover my lost pictures any ways ?
i would love to hear som more examples!

i have spoken with some peoples and they said that my only option is to root my phone... is anybody who can give me a quick guide here to me how to do it( link to other topic?)
And how to backup my originally rom?
Thanks in advice!

Thank you so much!
I know i am a noob, but then my final question is.. After doing all the stuff in you'r tutorial regarding rooting my phone will i then be able to get my phone to USB mass storage and find my internal sd card on my phone on "my computer" in my recovery program?

Honestly, there is no chance you recover your photos. Sorry.
By unlocking your bootloader your phone will be completely erased, from A to Z. Your phone should have been rooted before the "issue" to have a slight chance of recovering. Those MTP devices are a PITA when it comes to recover lost DATA.
MTP on Wikipedia
It is important to sync this kind of device with a cloud service to cover any chance of losing precious DATA like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.

You can recover photos lost after factory reset, but you need to use special android data recovery tool, here's a good guide:
how to recover data from android phone after factory reset
hope this helps.

if you did factory reset, most likely files are deleted.

Two weeks ago, after finished the battery, I connected to charge and turn on. In the screen appear message... "internal sd card corrupted"... I searched for information on the internet but i don't found the solution... Now i know exist this :_(
My phone told me format the internal sd and I did...
Now my phone works fine, but I had a lot of pictures and videos of my little daughter that i want to recover, but it is impossible mission.
I don't install news apps, i don't update that i have and i have not made new photos. Only tweeter, facebook, pulse, mail, messages with whatsapp and navigation internet web pages
I have downloaded many programs for recovery data, recovery sd.... as Recova, pandora, Minitool, Wondershare, Zero, Rremo, Card Recovery, Foremost, and other many programs but not luck. Only recover new temporal photos (of the navigation)
Can i recover my old photos? is possible? how can i do?
Thank you a lot for your aportation!!!!

issue closed
what?
cant I recover my files?
I don't understand your post...
One try RECUVA that fails thare are other file recovery tools available to purchase .Recover on PC via card reader not via phone .
However as you have tried then thats it you have no other choice but to contact a Data Recovery company and ask how much it will cost . It is an expensive job that may not succeed .
PS your English is ok and far better than the post you dont understand .

Thank you very much @JJEgan
but I don't want to lose my photos...
I even downloaded two applications of the google play to retrieve the data .... but no luck
I know it does not help now, but going forward link your account to Google + and picasa and you can auto upload pictures everytime you take them, so if you do lose your phone or corrupt it then at least you have pictures/videos
Download restorer pro 2000, I use it regularly, worked on internal storage to few days back
Sent from my GT-I9100
If you did not yet try 'PhotoRec' then you should do. It is free and I was more then once able to recover photos in cases where any other software I tried failed - you have nothing to loose
Hello everyone!!!
evilghostrider, I have not uploaded the photos on Google+ because my data rate consumed.
atifsh and fxrb, thanks to his contribution, but could not recover my files....
I begin to think that I can not retrieve my files... :_(
Any idea?
Thanks a lot to all!!!
how and where did you get restorer 2000 pro?
did you run it properly.
when you install it, you have to scan the internal storage. you can also set the options to just scan for jpeg.
and first rule is do not write anything on the drive you want to recover from, so stop installing stuff on your phone.

broken screen - how to backup?

Hi guys, i looked at some of the other related threads but couldnt find the info I need!
I want to get some of the data that is stored in the phones memory. i use windows 7 x64.
also if anyone has experience with getting a phone replaced/repaired by an insurance company, do you know if they care about a phone being rooted and having a custom rom on it?
they will only be repairing the screen, nothing else. If they will care, I would want to flash the rom back to stock, and unroot just case. is this possible without a screen?
where to even begin...
"I want to get some of the data that is stored in the phones memory. i use windows 7 x64." THANK YOU FOR SO MUCH DETAIL I CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY HOW TO GET THAT DATA MAYBE TRY COPY AND PASTE OR ALTERNATIVELY DELETE SYSTEM 32.
and yes the insurance company might care, flash stock for safety.
umm what more information would you like? the make and model are evident, the situation has been explained and the platform my computer runs on has also been stated. the rest is down to an experienced user informing me what programs/tools I will need to do what I wish to do.
ve managed to get the data i wanted off the phone my self by tinkering around, but im at a loss as to how I would flash to stock without the screen.

If you haven't installed the phone driver's install it using Samsung Kies and when you connect the phone it will automatically connect in mtp mode(if you enabled usb debugging you will get it connected as a flash drive) in both cases the phone memory and sd card will be mounted and you can retrieve your data.
Yes you will definitely need to flash a stock rom (or they will make you pay for it) since you can do it via Odin and download mode, you can pretty much do it safely without the screen but be sure to perform a factory reset and the required wipes beforehand to avoid bootloops(no idea how to do it without the screen you might have to guess your way through this).

I expect the same from others.
Thanks king, i was wondering if ODIN would be useful in this process. I wonder if there is a sort of 'map' of the cwm menus so i could carefully (blindly) navigate the menus and factory reset.

I am sure if you search around you will get picture posts here but I recommend you Google how to install a rom using CWM (be sure of your version) and several videos from YouTube will surely pop up follow their pattern of using CWM it will be more assuring to follow.
Hope this helps.

i cant remember what cwm i have. is there a way of finding out by browsing the files stored on the phone?

CWM is integrated with the kernel
you can't access its information from the internal memory or the sd card which you can access from your computer, you better flash a kernel containing CWM (version known ) and then try to wipe and flash it, and it will mostly be 5.5.0.4 if it was a recent kernel, but better be safe than sorry.
Also if you know what version kernel you installed you can check the developer page for CWM information or ask there for the version.

"ALTERNATIVELY DELETE SYSTEM 32" What do you mean by this?
Are you telling him to corrupt his Windows installation or was it a typo? :screwy:
"THANK YOU FOR SO MUCH DETAIL I CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY HOW TO GET THAT DATA MAYBE TRY COPY AND PASTE"
He has given enough detail for the problem, your sarcasm is pointless :what:

hey man i had siyah kernel with paranoid android! i honestly cant remember what version though.
I tried getting my phone into download mode, but ODIN didnt detect anything. I think im just going to take a shot and send it off to the insurance company and see what happens.
they should only be fixing the screen and nothing else, so hopefully they wont care about the custom rom
If you don't see anything, well you could use the windows media center, I don't use Win 7,
but I know that it existed before.
Alternatively, you could use "adb" (from android sdk) for use when your phone is plugged on usb,
using simple command lines you will be able to go through your filesystem and
copy what you need using the "pull" command (explained under the adb interface).
And indeed, it works better with a rooted phone.

I think hard reset means rebooting your phone by holding down the power button.. Meh anyway I understand what you meant.
Well just to brainstorm, HTC comes with a default integration with drop box. Meaning all your photo's gets uploaded automatically to dropbox unless you disable it. So, First off check dropbox first, you should atleast have some photos since nobody disables "dropbox" that immediate.
Next time, If you have important stuff on your phone, try to back them up on the pc, and try to use a cloud service like what i said "dropbox" or "google drive" or any other type. Or just upload to facebook
Best of luck and hope you get the photos back

Now that you "factory reset" you should have an empty SD Card, so if you are "interested" in rooting or think you might be , you should unlock the bootloader now before your phone becomes filled with apps again, since the bootloader unlocking will require you to "erase" the data AGAIN.
Just a tip although you might not want to root, unlocking is different from rooting though, so you are not really "rooted" as per say. Anyway best of luck, if you are interested in knowing the difference there is a link in my signature explaining that or you can just google or check the forums, or not Best of luck

no no I think it was a misunderstanding
HTC One X+ does not have SD Card
The purpose of the "recovery", was "Data Recovery" and bring deleted files back! not CWM recovery or other
i am looking for app for recovering my deleted photos since my last factory reset! i have stock rom on my phone now and i dont want to root it
because all "Data recovery" apps want root access

I understand just fine, you misunderstood what i said. What I said was, now that you sadly lost all your data, you might want to take this chance and root since the step of unlocking the "bootloader" itself will make you erase the data again. It was an offtopic out of content advice , just for the future.
As for your issue I already said all what I know, best of luck and maybe someone else knows

S3 resetted itself -> no contacts or data left - how restore?

Hello,
i have the imperium rom v 29
My battery went out and my mobile resetted itself alone. Now i have no contacts in the phone and all my data is gone.
BUT in the Windows Explorer the free space is only 1.5 GB from 11.3 GB, so the data was not deleted. I just cant see my pictures and stuff.
Maybe i can see somehow my phone as a device in the windows explorer!! But it is not so easy i think. Can someone help me please?

Just plug it into the computer and browse it like normal or use the built in file explorer.
my phone is no device like my hard disks, so my recovery program has no chance to find the s3 to recover my data
thats the problem
Corrupt data partition, you can dump the entire partition via CMD then use a recovery program on your pc. Search xda, S2 forum I think, for details how.
You'll find its like try to unscramble eggs and you're unlikely to recover anything useful.

Help with recovering deleted photos

Hi everyone,
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I am running out of ideas.
I have lost some important photos on my Samsung Galaxy S9+ and I have tried a couple of photo recover apps such as diskdigger, dr.fone, to name a few and they do not find them. It says to perform deep scans i need to root. Is there any app or pc software I could use to do deep scans on the internal memory of my phone?
P.s. I've looked at ways of rooting the phone but I'm confused, was looking at using twrp and magisk but not sure how to start as I read somewhere samsung phones have their own flash software.
Thanks for any support
If I recall correctly, rooting any Samsung phone requires a hard reset, so that's probably a worse idea lol
Why not check if they're in the "thrash" folder in your gallery, if you have it on
Or check if you have sync on on any of your photo apps
Cheers, ive checked the trash folder and its empty so they must have gone outside the last 30 days, and until this weekend I never synced my photos with the cloud (rookie mistake I know)
Guess they are gone forever

Usually, if the deleted photos not being overwritten by new data, such data recovery softwares can help us recover them back. But before that, we need to root it by using samsung root app. You can search such root apps online and choose the one you like better. Then it can help you scan out all data on your Samsung Galaxy S9+ and recover them back. Please note: If the deleted photos are overwritten, there is no way to recover them back.
