someone can tel me how to restore back deleted photo from my htc one?
i try a lot but it cant restore back...

If you deleted some photo from your phone, you can't restore it.
But if you have a backup of your previuos rom, you can restore it with your photo

A nandroid backup will not restore pictures, as it only backups rom+apps & data

Upload to Dropbox in the future and all your pictures will be backed up. You can also back up to Google+ and Flickr amongst others. Flickr gives you 1TB of storage too.

[ROM][GT-N7000][JB][4.1.1] CyanogenMod 10 - Official Preview [#4]

Hi
I just upgraded my Note GT N7000 from RocketICS ROM to [ROM][GT-N7000][JB][4.1.1] CyanogenMod 10 - Official Preview [#4].
I backed up all my data using Titanium Backup 5.5.1 including contacts and other user data.
Although everything else seems to work fine..I am not able to restore my contacts data using the titanium backup. The restore is successful but I am not able to see the contacts.
I also tried to sync my contacts through my google account but only half of them got restored.
Thanks
Ankush
I think by using titanium backup,you cant restore contacts
contacts app and the app data like contact preferences get restored
Andtry to sync again,you will be getting all your contacts back

Backup Options: HTC vs Titanium vs ??

So, what is the best way you have found to backup all apps + userdata on your One? Say i wanted to switch ROM's
If it were on the cloud it would be a plus. Ideas?
I've always used Titanium but I just switched to Carbon. It backs everything up to any one of your cloud storage accounts. I think Titanium does this now too, but I just found Carbon easier to use transferring everything into my One.
Titanium was a pain for me to get setup properly but now I have it do dropbox nightlys of just changed data and a full backup weekly to google drive.
When you restore carbon do you have to do it one by one

Enormous NAND backup sizes

So since sdcard is now part of /data, when I make a NAND backup the size is almost 4GB, since I have a bunch of music stored locally from Google Music. Is there anyway to get TWRP to ignore the sdcard directory when backing up (since it doesn't get wiped anyway) so that each backup I make isn't ginormous? I'm already down to only 15GB left on this phone. I know I could have it just not backup the data partition, but then restoring from a backup would only restore the OS and not the apps and configuration I previously had (which is kinda the whole point of a backup, since otherwise I could just fresh install a new ROM).
cant you just copy them over to your computer? and keep one on the phone for safety?
Just created a nandroid backup with CWM touch, mine came out as 2.1GB, not sure why your backup is so large

Mine are usually around 1.5GB. But I don't keep music and videos on mine.

Since the /sdcard data is sharing with the same partition as the /data doing a nandroid backup would depend on how much space is consumed by your sdcard.
So I guess nothing I can do, then? Thanks anyway.
Does this mean a Nandroid backup of the One would backup photos and media too?

Yes!
Problem is that Google Music cache is in /data/data folder, so Twrp backs it up. Solution is to create a folder on /sdcard and symlink the Google Music cache folder to it. Twrp won't back it up because it doesn't follow symlinks nor does it backup /sdcard. There are several posts on the subject, just search.

I don't believe it does, I don't think Nandroid would perform backup functions differently on different devices but coming from the SGN I - I can tell you that all Nandroid backups are basically settings and OS files as well as Apps / App Data. For the most part, when you do a Wipe / Format on your phone, it is only removing the OS files and installed Apps. It does not backup your photos / videos as it never really removes that data to begin with and so you should see your stuff there even after installing a fresh copy of the ROM. If you go into advanced functions in CWM and format your card, then you will wipe the entire device off.
IIRC CWM started taking nandroid backups very differently from a few versions ago, there's now a "blobs" folder in the backup folder and that is the one that grows exponentially in size. I believe that was done to only make incremental backups easy but the downsize is grows massive.
I cannot give you a guaranteed answer if deleting the blobs folder is safe or not but I have deleted it in the past and eventually resorted to just keeping the most recent backup by deleting all backups / blobs and then doing a fresh backup.
click compression and mines 1 gig
A nandroid backup also backs up the data directories and your downloaded Goggle Music songs are in that data directory. Therefore whenever your do a nandroid backup, the songs will be backed up as well, increasing your final size...

The recovery may very well perform nandroids differently on "data/media" services such as the htc one. Check out http://teamw.in/DataMedia

I'll try the symlink trick, thanks.

is there an app that lets you browse nandroid contents so you can confirm what has been backed up?

Ok just to answer my own question.
I just took a nandroid backup of One of my phones and restored it to my other one.
Music and Gallary did not come across.
If anyone else wants me to verify anything I'm more than happy to as I have both phones in front of me and all my settings and profiles are there, just no media.

[Q] RESTORE Not working!

I used the sony backup and restore app on the phone.
I then unlocked my bootloader, this is all on .290 firmware
In the middle of restoring, it reboots.
any ideas? I still have the .semc-fullbackup folder on my SD card, is there any way i can extract those or something? they are not APK's and sony PC companion software saves stuff as one big dbk file so i couldnbt drag it into there... any help would be much appreciated... my messages are very much needed!

i'm guessing sony back and restore app only works with locked bootloader?
try a third party app from playstore, there are some who don't require root.
I relocked the boot loader and still the same thing. Any way to get data out of these files??

Have you tried factory resetting your phone? It works on mine.

try doing a selective restore to get back stuff like contacts and sms etc, at least you will have the important stuff, then just re-install all your apps - settings may also restore some stuff
Backup and restore does not backup your homepage folders and stuff like that, I have an SD card which I use for all my music pics videos and files, you can also copy the contents of your internal SD card/drive to a computer as a backup of those
You can also export your contacts as a VCF to your PC
Unfortunately I can't rely on backups working all the time especially if you are trying to restore a backup to a new version of FW, so I keep and hour a week and do a lot of stuff manually
PC Companion is the best option if trying to restore to newer devices or FW/OS it can often do a conversion on the fly
I've never tried any 3rd party backup app but I'd assume they are more flexible

Can't seem to do a selective restore on the stock sony backup and restore app. You have a way of doing that? I have all my contacts and other stuff were all saved to my google accounjt, its just those SMS's that I need

Maybe try downgrading back to the firmware on which you did the backup and see if the restore function works. If it does restore your data and try to get a backup using Titanium Backup or other software.
Unfortunately I tried that already, seems like a part of the restorenis corrupt? This is really odd. Anyone know how to take data out of the backups?

unfortunately not, I assume you've never done a backup using PCC
There might be some software out there that can extract the contents of the backup or there might be an update to the software at some point if it's not working properly
I was going to suggest rolling back to a previous firmware you never know, always keep a backup using PCC
Nah I didn't start messing with pc companion until my restore didn't work and I was looking for new ways to extract my backup but I guess they're in different formats. I'll keep looking, later I'll open the conversations backup with wordpad and see whats in there... its 50mB though...

[Q] Can't able to restore Whatsapp Pics

I accidently deleted my whatsapp pics and can't able to restore all the pics. tried to re-install the whatsapp.
able to retrieve all the messages but can't retrieve my pics .
Can anyone help me???
No. You might been able to restore them right after you deleted them. But now it's to late. They are gone.

Did you do a nandroid backup?
If so you can do a restore as the whatsapp directory and its sub directories will be in there with all images at the time if the backup.
If you did not do a backup and deleted the directory there us no way to restore I an afraid.
Shalom and hope this helps, john
PS any full nandroid backup would have those directories in, fingers crossed for you.
