[Q] how to view internal memory on windows?

I have a program on windows that can recover deleted pictures from any drive. I think I had some pictures on my internal memory that I want to try to recover. How can I mount the internal memory as a drive on windows? I am s-off and have clockwork mod.

It would be easier to backup 'User data ' , re flash the rom you lost data from and restore user data, than to recover some lost data from internal memory unless u have a pre existing backup IMO ...
EDIT: everything you download form the net, take pics from cam etc etc are stored on external memory... ie SD card ... just fyi

not sure what you mean about user data. I had pics on a memory card I wanted to move to another memory card, so i saved it to internal memory card.

Ic .. okay .. could you specify how exactly u moved it to internal memory and the location ?

i used ez file explorer with root permission. I moved it to /data or /.data not sure. Then I deleted it thinking I had moved it back to another sd card.

still looking for an answer to this :/
I see that clockworkmod lets you mount usb storage and you can see it on the pc. it also lets you mount /data..but you can't see it on the PC. Anyone know how I can contact the clokworkmod developer? I want to ask him if its possible to add the functionality i want.

Hi, if I understood you right, you can use MyphoneExplorer program to view the phone memory on Windows machine. Hope it helps you.

I guess My Phone Explorer can do the job for you.

Hello,
You can also try with Droid Explorer. It works for me.

Certainly He can recover them!
Use a cardreader and an app like data recovery professional
then select "formatted recovery " type and it'll bring them back (don't use sdcard till recovery finishes,using it will wipe old files)

RecoveryFix for Windows Data Recovery Software has been developed to fullfill the needs of recovering the database from hard drive. Its easy to use for users who lose their valuable data to any system error like unexpected system shutdown, software malfunction, file or directory deletion.

u can try Get data back ..click here
I just formatted my Seagate 500 GB full of software and i can get all my data back completely

Guys, keep in mind that he did not only format the card, but repartition it with new sizes. Not only that, the partitioning involved two different file systems: fat32 and ext3/4.
And he hasn't responded back...

Thank you everybody, I sent my phone, i recovered any of my data. THX

[Q] Recover photos from internal storage

so yes... I know its impossible but I have lost lots and lots of family photos within the internal storage for my XZ. It was just yesterday when I wanted to give custom roms a try and I totally forgot about backing them up... ive been searching 13hrs so far on google trying to recover those files. The closest topic I found was this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705 i am stuck on adb (google usb driver) installation part, which I get an error "The folder item you specified doesn't contain a compatable driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for 32-bit
systems." can anyone help?
or please let me know if there is a way to mount xperia z internal storage to UMS mode? I mean I would like to connect my phone to pc then scan phone with software like Recuva.

that guide is for galaxy nexus. Not sure if you can do that, what you can do is contact Sony, tell them your situation and see if they can do some forensic stuff on the phone, sometime they can recover it...

that method applies for all phones , I have used it to recover my note 2 , Xperia Z and even the Note 1 so its same for all androids

I was having the same problem last time, accidentally deleted some photos on internal storage from my Son Xperia phone, then I did some research and found this solution: Sony Xperia data recovery
the Sony xperial file recovery guide helped me get back lost photos from internal memory of my Sony Xperia phone. hope that it helps you too.

Use a file explorer and navigate to /data/media and data/media/0 under /DCIM/100ANDRO and see if pictures are there.

Mount the XPERIA Z as an external hard drive and then use a program to recover the files (I'm on mac and I'm using Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery... There's a windows version too).
Literally doing this to my sisters' XPERIA S as I type.
One drawback is that it takes forever.
EDIT: Sorry I just realised this is what you were trying to do all along. To get XPERIA Z mounted as an external drive go to settings>xperia connectivity>USB connectivity and select MSC. I know you requested UMS but these programs should still be able to recognise and recover data from these drives

[Q] Recover deleted photos internal memory

Hello,
Yesterday I accidentally delete some very important photos fron the internal memory of the sony xperia z C6603, 4.4.2, 10.5.A.0.230, How can I Recover them? The RECUVA software doesn't find the rute to the internal memory of the xperia z. Can anyone help me?
thankyou very much.

If you're rooted, then you can try DiskDigger. I haven't used it myself, but I've seen it recommended in several places before.

very sorry to inform you that
as far as i know, there is no way you can recover data from internal storage
earlier this year i did the same thing
accidentally deleted over 1000 very important trip/work photos from my internal storage
i tried all free / paid data recovery software both on android platform and PC
none worked...
so i send the phone to 3 different professional data restore company (here in australia)
all gave me the same answer, "can not be recovered"
according to the data restore tech, Xperia Z (or most Sony mobile for that matter)
uses a different file system (or protocol, or something... forgot exactly what) then other android OS mobile
to be able to recovery data from mobile internal memory
they need to extra a "image" file off the entire phone, via a interface of some sort
from my understanding, it's similar to making a ISO / ROM image data of a DVD or a game
however
the current interface for extracting / making image file from a mobile dose not work with the file system Xperia Z is using
therefore the data could no be recovered in any way what so ever
just to save you a bit of time, i can assure you none of the recovery software on Android / PC will work with internal memory
(how ever the external SD card will work as i have tested, that is, with both Android / PC recovery software)
you could still try sending to a recovery place tho, they usually don't charge you unless they could at lease make that image file
maybe the interface was updated with in the last couple month
best luck my friend,
hope you have more luck then i

The internal SD card simply uses ext4, which is a common filesystem in Linux based systems and Android devices. Nothing special about it.

U should mount internal sd in msc mode with Doomlord sd card mounter and finally use some software to recover data from ext4

has this method been tested and work?!?

After upgrade to kit kat i lost my photos etc. on formated internal memory. I tried recover data's but no luck, with deleted files should be simpler. Be careful with mounting in msc mode in win (os wants format ext4 non readable partition)

Yes. I mounted it with that app and on my pc used Recova to scan the partition (which was labelled as unformatted because only Linux supports that disk forma, but Recova didn't care). Ended up with thousand upon thousand of temporary picture files that had been deleted, lol. It comes completely uncategorized in folders etc so it can take some time to sort thru. Sorting by biggest filesize is probably a good idea.

Awsome! Thankyou very much!!
Let me resume, now, I have to find a LINUX computer, then mount the interrnal memory with Doomlord sd card mounter, and finaly conect the xperia z to the Pc though an usb, then the linux recognice the internal memory ext4, and use recuva to scan it. Isn't it?
Does the xperia z has to be root? if so, do you know a non agresive method to avoid the rebriting over my deleted photos in internal memory?
thankyou.

How to recover deleted or lost data from Sony Xperia Z4
Do you need to recover lost or deleted datas from your Sony Xperia Z4? Or you have accidentally deleted photos from your xperia Z4 device? Or somebody mishandled your phone resulting in loss of data from your device? And you are looking for a solution to fix the same. I would suggest you to opt for Android Data Recovery to recover deleted lost data from Sony Xperia Z4....hopefully it will help you in recovering all your desired data……
go to : androiddata-recovery.com/blog/how-to-recover-deleted-or-lost-data-from-sony-xperia-z4

To recover deleted files from Sony Xperia, you need to use data recovery tool, see this step by step guide: How to recover data from Sony Xperia
hope this helps.

As internal memory doesn’t mount as a drive like external memory does, and common data recovery tools cannot scan Android’s internal memory for deleted or lost files and retrieve them back like external SD card. So you must choose some professional data recovery tools to help you. Just Google to find more. Some like Dr.Fone for Android, Android Recovery Mac. Just try it.

To be honest I'm not surprised at all. First and most problem is I lost data on INTERNAL MEMORY formated in ext4 (almost unsupported by Windows with exceptions by 3rd party software). To recover any data from any storage you must mount it in MSC mode (in XZ internal memory is impossible without "DoomLord card mounter") And finally you must use recovery soft for ext3/4 partition.
BTW. Two weeks ago I tried install ubuntu on my pc and accidentally reformated my hdd (15GB NTFS(free space) + 210GB ntfs (mostly 100GB mp3 and about 10GB photos)) to 220GB ext4 (ubuntu) and 4GB SWAP -simply: I change partition table and format all my music. But 3 hours of googling and i find Testdisk -in my opinion the best[emoji482] [emoji482] [emoji482] [emoji482] [emoji482] After rescaning for previous partitions (some 15min), just left copy to another drive (about 1hour for over 100GB data)- This surprised me!!! 100% recovered files!!!
If i only know Testdisk 2 years ago i could back my photos from my XZ.

For anyone still having this problem, if you have root, just use DiskDigger. That little program saved my photos before. It takes a lot to search for them and the result is a mess regarding sorting, but I assure you that the photos are there if you search in the final results.

What exactly is the problem? It simply doesn't find anything or you can't even scan?
