I can't seem to find the same thread already opened here so I ask.
I stupidly uninstalled an app in which I had a lot of notes (forgot the notes widget was actually from the app /dumb). So, I'm asking if there is any possibility to search for deleted files, like we can on SD cards and computer drives with Recuva and similar programs, on the internal system folder? Because the app saved its notes database in datadata folder...
Please, any chance at all?
Yes there is always a chance. Try diskdigger, you can find it on google play but remeber this application require root privilages.
Thanks. Found the app myself but weirdly it doesn't allow to recover all files. Unknown to my knowledge. I would need to restore a database file (.db). The app doesn't have support for it.
I hope you can find a way to recover your lost files. I expected that app could work but I was wrong.

you should first re install that app, to see if its data is still intact in your SD card, if not you can use recovery tools from here or undelete app too. BUT First copy contents of your SD card to PC for salvaging.

I'll try to make the story short:
Had CM 7.2, Used S2E and by accident also transfered all data to SD-EXT3.
After a week or so, Problems finding apps, missing widgets and eventually nothing... the phone is like after a wipe.
I used miniTool and it finds the ext but I can't browse it.
There are very important files and pic in that EXT partition.
Question:
Is there any way I will be able to browse the folders that used to be on the EXT partition and copy some of the content?
Thanks a lot, it's realy important to me.

I had used the S2E before but didn't like it. I think there is an option in S2E that you can check to have the data transfer back to internal. Or uninstall the S2E app and reboot, the data will be back to where it was.
Thanks but it's not working...
I tried that before I posted the thread.
First - S2E didn't let me to transfer back.
2nd - The app was uninstalled but it didn't help.
Now I'm only trying to find a way to see the content of the EXT3 partition on my computer in order to save important files.
Any ideas...?
Thank in advance,
MG.
hi, i think u'll get the info that u need in this page
http://www.howtoforge.com/access-linux-partitions-from-windows
gud luck
edit: i checked this software " DISK INTERNALS - LINUX READER" http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ and was able to access and copy ext files to pc
video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRftHZTWnWA&feature=watch_response
Well...
I tried "DiskInternals" but when I click the Ext-SD I don't see any files and the window says:
"There are no recoverable files in this folder".
Does it mean that my Ext3 partition is damaged?

Thats strange. i can see the folders and copy the files without any issue. are you sure you didnt delete the files or format ur ext???
On the Top pane, there is an option called "Deleted Files", check it and see if that can help. gud luck
Hello,
I have already rooted my phone, and installed Titanium Backup from the Android Market, and removed all the apps that I don't use, such as
TImescape, Email, Geotags, etc... and managed to free a lot of memory from both the system ROM and internal memory.
There's many software apps out there like Root Explorer, Rom Toolbox, etc.. that allow you to view all the items in
the internal system, but is there software anywhere where you can install on one's rooted phone, and view all deleted items (photos,
music files, video clips, etc.) during the entire history of the phone since you started using it?
I know when you delete items on your computer, they are sent to a part of the system where it can be recovered with the
right tools.
Thanks all,
and Happy Halloween :fingers-crossed:

I don't know about such an application.

If I am not wrong, the files on the sdcard that you delete are deleted forever. Like Shift+Del in Windows; you can't see them again. The files in the other directories, AFAIK, are deleted in a similar way (where data is not stored). In conclusion, no, you cannot view deleted files.

is it true? but how if we accidentally reformat sd in quick format mode? is data still recoverable?
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
Its recoverable..
I too formatted my sd by mistake.
But then i recovered the lost data using stellar pheonix data recovery using my PC
Its recoverable as long as the deleted files haven't been overwritten. When you delete a file it doesn't actually get deleted, the memory block just switches from 1 (in use) to 0 (not in use). When you save a file, the system looks for memory blocks that are not in use and overwrites them. Thus as long as you haven't saved anything or used the memory it should be recoverable.
There's an app called 'undelete' or something like that on the Market that will recover deleted files.

Hi All,
I have just rooted my One.
I backed up the entire SD Card and I have copied some things back (DCIM, Downloads, My music (apart from my Play store offline files).
I cannot locate many of the images I took with the phone prior to root. I can also not for the life of me figure out why so much space is consumed on my memory considering what I have on the device.
Regardless, I didnt know if there was some secret hiding place that things go to hide.
I had many of these photo's in their own folders within the Gallery, these are also unavailable.
I have since backed up my photo's to DropBox, and they all appear in there, so I am looking to sync my PC with my dropbox tonight then copy the photo's I want back to the phone, but firstly I need to know these files arent still hiding on my "sd card" before I go and further duplicate them.
Is there anyone out there who has gone through the same thing and has some pointers as to what to look for as I find the file structure within ES File Manager quite confusing with SD and 0/ with emulated partition that seems to be a dupliucate of SD Card etc etc.
Sorry, very noob question, however I have been rooting phones for ages, my last being the HTC OneXL and everything seemed to make so much more sense on that phone.
Any advice would be greatly greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Scott
Yes, the SD and 0/ folder is a duplication of your storage, so do not need that folder. You can delete any other stuff inside the media folder, though. If everything is already stored on your computer, how about you format the SD card and use adb to sideload a ROM? In other words, a clean, fresh install.
Any solution? Many thanks for your kind help!
First things first. Can you write to the SD card using the built-in File Commander app?

This really needs a fuller description of the problem: what exactly are you trying to do, what do you expect to happen, and what happens instead?

Millions of fakes around..

I had same problem,first question should be where did you buy it and for how much? For example sellers from eBay are selling 128gb SD card for 15£ only but it's just rebranded 32 or 64gb cards!
Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free mobile app
Hi!
This is the Sd 128Gb I bought:
http://www.amazon.it/SanDisk-Androi...784&sr=8-1&keywords=micro+sd+128+gb+classe+10
I think that is a good one!
I saw that this kind of problem starts with Kit Kat, isn't correct?
It's very strange that I cannot copy from the device any file in the Sd card and viceversa!
Many thanks for your kind help!
It's probably not strange and yes, things changed with KitKat. But since you're still refusing to tell us what exactly you're trying to do and how, we cannot help you.
The device can read the SD card, but cannot write in it any kind of file; it's impossible to move or to copy, paste or delete any kind of file, using all file manager you can find in the google play, also trying with resco explorer for rooter user (my Z3 compact isn't rooted). I hope that this explanation can be clear enough!
It's very strange that you can use the Sd card like the older Jelly Beam system, that allow to move o copy any file from one directory to another or from the internal memory to the SD card!
Many thanks again for your kind cooperation!
Of course it's perfectly possible to copy to/from sd card on KitKat, otherwise what would be the point of even having them in KitKat devices.
But usage is more restricted than in earlier Android versions. Tell us *exactly* what you're trying to do, and we can point you in the right direction.

I think that my english is not good enough to explain what I would like to do!
I will try again: with my new Z3 compact and the SD Sandisk 128Gb I cannot copy or move a file from the internal storage of the device to the SD card and viceversa. Also, I can write the SD card, for example, to create or to rename or to delete a file or a directory in the SD card.
Is it clear?
I hope so and, once again, many thanks for your kind help!!
Have you tried the File Commander app provided by Sony? Otherwise apps can only write to their own folders.

Yes, I tried!
With the File Commander provided by Sony you can manage the SD, but you cannot use the directory which you created (that seems to be only for reading and not for writing) for example, for downloading files from app of the device (e.g. Ttorrent).
Any solution?

You *can* use it for writing ... with File Commander ... but as I stated, otherwise apps can only write to their own folders, e.g. SD card > Android > data > com.yourapp.something
Apps that support saving to SD card will typically have the option in their app settings, and they'll use their own app folder for that. Like Google Music or all of Sony's own apps.
You can also copy stuff to/from top level folders via USB or Wireless Media Transfer.

Ok!! Many many thanks for your explanation!! Best regards!!
I can't delete photos from my SD since I started using QuickPic rather than the ultra buggy default 'Album' app thing.
Because the same policy applies to all user apps, they only have write access to their own folder for security reasons.
Hello! i sold my mi max 2 and before sending it and to be sure that i have deleted all of my personal stuff on the phone i booted into recovery and wiped SD card and Internal memory/storage. and by doing so the new owner of the phone can't take photos with the camera and can't download apps from playstore on to the storage because there is no " DCIM " folder. how to solve this anyone that knows ? pls help because i feel terrible about it and i want to help the new owner.
Thanks in advance.
Apps have nothing to do with DCIM folder. Even if that folder is missing, he can still download apps from playstore and put files. There is other problem. Format Storage, factory reset, and try again.

Make sure the required permissions are granted for the camera app
Downloading apps from playstore got nothing to do with DCIM folder

apperantly it's just the apps that require permissions to use the SDcard or want access to photos. such as " facebook ", " Messenger " and so on.
