Are you using Sony PC Companion?
If you want to backup your apps and their data as well, then you'll need to make a backup with the 'Backup and restore' app on your phone too, because PC Companion can only backup /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard1, not /data.
Note: this app cannot restore paid apps, so you need to reinstall those first from Google Play and then restore your backup to restore their /data.
Hello,
As the topic says, somehow all my camera photos are missing from the internal memory of my Xperia Z (10.3.1.A.0.244). I don't know how this happened, either it happened spontaneously after video recording or I did it accidentally when I tried to remove a different folder when connected to a Mac (im not used to Macs).
I am trying to find a way to restore the deleted files, but it only appears in Win as a MTP device, which can not be detected by recovery softwares.
It seems like the only way out is rooting the phone before I can restore any file according to this guide. However to root my Xperia Z I first have to flash it according to this thread. If I flash it, will I still be able to recover any information from it, such as my lost photos?
Would be very grateful for any advice!!
Everytime my Xperia Z is rebooted or shut down all the photos get deleted and settings reset.
Can anyone help me please?

the only thing i can recommend is repair via sony suite,
if that doesn't work, just send it back in for repairs.
it sounds like an internal storage issue. my incredible S did similar things shortly before it died.

Flash your stock rom using flashtool
So i have the Sony Xperia V (LT25i) and tried to find my way to CM and rooting and all this cool stuff apple users can't get..
I'm also new in this forum but i searched my problem and didn't find anything, if anyone knows more just send the link to the thread and thats it.
I rooted, got bootloader unlocked and tried to flash cm, bricked my phone, somehow got access to the flashtool again and flashed a stock rom, made a factory reset and i think thats all i messed around..
But the problem is now that some apps can't access the internal storage properly for example:
-can't download or upload media in whatsapp
-can't put homescreen via album app (external sd card not found)
i think that's it for now
I hope someone can help
i used cwm to wipe my phone but i did not flash it with rom instead i rebooted the phone & now it's stock on the Sony logo. please help this is not even my phone
i did try to use flashtool to flash stock tft but unknown sources & debugging must be enabled but the phone is stuck on the Sony logo so i can't even enable these settings. please if you can help then do,thanks very much
the phone's boot loader is locked by O2 & i had lollipop for LBL installed but it was getting very laggy so i tried to install another rom when i then messed up everything !!
1.Flashtool needs USB Debugging for Rooting ur Device, not Flashing
So don't worry about it, go for flashing
2.In Case u Wipe Entire Phone I.e.System, Data, Cache then the Phone won't skip the Boot Logo
According to me, the Recovery should b Accessible, So flash any ROM present in the Storage (if its urgent for u to have the phone working)
OR
Use Flashtool, it will help you recovering ur Phone
Go for the Flash tool method, read the Procedure Carefully
Good Luck

i managed to do it ,windows 10 64bit did not work so i booted to 2nd partition with win 7 32bit this also gave me lots of trouble for 2 hours but closing the flashtool app & disconnecting the phone few times & just as i was about to give up it's started to flash stock jellybean 4.1.2 & now the phone is working & currently the sony Companion app is updating it i think to 4.3 jelly bean. i will not mess no more with this phone,lollipop for LBL is a no go & because O2 locked the bootloader i will just keep it the way it is & just customise it with smart launcher & lock screen. thanks very much for your comment as it would have made me not give up & try again tomorrow. i appreciate it

I assume that you have tried the RR (5.0.2) LBL Bug-Fixed by Skulltus, if not then give it a try since LBL Users are finding it somewhat stable...
Reasons why Phone wasn't getting detected can be:-
>Improper Downloading of File - Make sure you don't Pause and Resume the Downloads too many times, so that it becomes corrupt
>Wire-- Use a Sony USB Cable only or a Good one ( i use Samsung's Cable for the Timebeing) -- Improper wires can be a reason why the Phone can't get detected by The PC...
>Try Another USB Port to Connect the Phone if it doesn't get detected by one...
These things happened with me Many times, Just Sharing it
Happy Flashing :good:

i have installed skultus bugfree 5.0.2 last night & it kept throwing a constant error (system UI crashed) i wasn't able to use the phone because this error when i hit ok it will comeback instantly so i thought it's not compatible,maybe i got the error because installation says ((1. Make you sure your device is LBL with .207 stock kernel, )) but my stock kernel is not 207 the firmware version ends with 205 , i have tried the sony companion to update but it said latest firmware is already installed. what do you think about this ?

thanks i really appreciate it & i look forward to those links. :good:
i know about rooting & flashing roms in zip format via recovery but yes i'm new to installing roms & kernels via the flashtool & not a big fan of it either.
Hey, I'm in pretty much the same situation here, except I am having a few problems which are keeping me from going back to the stock firmware.
1) The phone keeps restarting when it's in flashmode - meaning it's sitting there for 30 seconds or so with flashmode and the green light, and then disconnects and turns back on into flashmode. This is keeping me from being able to flash anything because the device disconnects through the process.
(Yes, I did try reinstalling the programs, updating drivers, restarting computer, using a different usb port/cable etc)
2) I did manage to make it stay connected somehow last night BUT flashtool would give me errors involving .sin's of some kind. I could get past all this by flashing the stock firmware using "repair my phone/tablet" in Sony PC Companion, which I have done twice before so I can confirm it works - but for some bizarre reason the software started saying that there is no firmware available for my device!
Please help!
2->If you have already flashed A Firmware via Flashtool and u want to perform another,
then you have to RESTART it (the App) Otherwise it will show
Unable to Flash "System.sin" as you said
1-->I guess Flash Mode has A Time limit to get connected with the PC, if not then definitely its the wire Problem...Wires should be in good condition

I didn't try the LBL ROM since I Unlocked the Bootloader but still,
In All ROMs when I install an app from the SD Card, they get vanished on rebooting.... It reads the SD Card and the App Appears
I guess there's a "Move to Phone" Option in it, try doing that for those apps installed in SD Card
There should be an Option of-
"Preferred Install Location" either in
--Settings->Apps(Select the Menu)>Preferred Install Location
OR
--Settings->Storage->Preferred Install Location
Default Option can be "Let the System Decide"
Change it to Internal Storage

ok but this means all apps will be installed to the internal memory & one of the reasons why i wanted lollipop is the ability to install some apps to SD . i just need to fix this write to SD issue & i will be good to go.

Oh Yeah....
I guess App2SD Implementation is not working properly in 5.0.2 so you are facing the problem

do you mean i wont be able to use the SD to install apps !! i have installed an app to the internal memory & when i moved it to the SD card the settings says it's moved correctly but the SD card memory size still unchanged which means it didn't move correctly & if i try to start the app the phone will freeze & if i restart the phone the app will disappear !!
