You can try this but no guarantees: http://www.android-recovery-transfer.com/recover-files-from-sd-card.html

Help! Please! Problems about storage

I wiped cache and data through cwm and wiped again through aroma...
after I flashed the Android Revolution HD 30.0, everything in my storage disappeared, including my titanium backup folder and photos...
I found out that my "other storage" consists of 22.32 GB of data
is there any way that I can recover those data?
thank you!

I'm not sure but your files could be in the folder "0".

Thank you for your reply.
No, my original files are not in "\sdcard\0", instead they are in "\sdcard\"
I can only browse those files only in recovery mode (CWM)
any suggestion? thank you
That's the issue, you have to use a file manager with root access to move your files to /sdcard/0/ to view them on the phone/PC

Custom recovery lost?

Hey guys so i backed up my v20b stock software via cwm and thought that it was going to be stored in some kind of internal storage forever (like cwm itself), but now i realised that after i done factory reset it is probably gone ) Is there a way to create a recovery file for cwm to restore to v20b?Or could i use some elses file?
Your backup is in the internal memory, unless you format or wipe it specifically factory reset will not erase it.
In development section there are a few roms based on official v20b ou can flash thhose if you can't find your backup

i had 2 backups on stock and i didn't delete any of them, just did the factory reset once. When i go to recovery mode CWM doesn't find any backups on internal storage...So where did they go?
Mount usb storage from recovery and check the cwm folder they should be in there unless you did "wipe data"
did you install any 4.2.2+ rom? if you did, your cwm is reading the "wrong" folder for backups. it's reading under data/media/0/whatevercwmbackupfolderis, instead of data/media/whatevercwmbackupfolderis
Go into custom recovery and select "Restore Back-up". It will work. I had the same problem .
Yeah, i also did wipe data/cache/dalvik/(as you do) before installing 4.4.2 , no backups in data/media/cwm, so i guess my backups are gone?
No, wipe data doesn't wipe internal storage, if formats everything except data/media which is where backups are
You must specifically select "format internal storage" to loose your backups
Is other stuff you had on internal sd still present?
they have to be there, unless you formatted internal sd. try searching around more with file browsers, sorry i cant be of more help

no, but i do factory reset every time. Rom manager doesn't find anything, as well as cwm in recovery mode. Searched every CWM,DATA,BACKUP folder, nothing there.
i searched with ES file explorer with root access (i even created a new backup to be 100% sure root access is on, the new backup appeared in data/media). Btw, how much internal storage is there after factory reset? Because with Beanstalk i get 11,8 of 12,2, i was sure those 400mb where my software backups....

[Q] What to backup before flashing new ROM?

I flashed my initial custom ROM when I first bought my HTC One. I'm on the 4.4.2 Android Rev. GPe ROM. I want to try a different ROM now that perhaps might be a better fit for me.
However, I'm already all, "set up" with my phone now with pictures, music, apps etc. I don't want to lose all this if I do a factory reset. What should I make sure to backup before wiping and flashing to make sure I don't lose any of my personal media/data?
I have already made a TWRP Backup, a Titanium backup of all user apps, and copied the TWP/Titanium Back folders as well as the DCIM and Music Folders to my local hard drive. Is there anything else I am missing should I want to switch back?

You wont lose any pics/music/videos if u wipe. Your apps will go. But Titanium is there for that. Just make sure THAT YOU DON'T WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE

To confirm that I don't accidentally wipe my internal storage like an idiot, when I select "Wipe" in TWRP, I choose "Factory Reset", (both caches obviously), and "Wipe Data"?

1- You should do a nandroid backup.
2- Yes, wipe: Cache, Dalvik, Data (excluding /data/media aka internal storage) for a clean flash;
for a dirty-flash, you only wipe, cache and dalvik (though most installer scripts take care of that anyways).

Afaik, there is no way to restore data after a "format data". When formatting, your data is erased for real (all bytes set to "0") unlike a wipe where data is only flagged "ok to overwrite" and is still there (unless already overwritten by something else).

Thank you so much for your response @alray
Try GT Recovery from the playstore. You need root to make it work tho.

Create a partition to save Photos/Videos

Hi Everybody,
since the Mi 9T Pro doesnt have a slot for SD-Cards, is it possible to create a partition where i can save all my Data like Images and videos?
Everytime i try a new ROM, i have to restore all the Data and it takes so long...
With my old Note 5 Pro i had everything on SD-Card, so there was no problem when i changed the system.
So, is it possible to create a partition on the phone where i can save those things and which is not getting touched when i install and test a new ROM?
Thanks and regards.
No you can't do that
use cloud storage if you want
You can change your rom without formatting internal storage. I've successfully flashed some miui and aosp roms, vendors and stock roms with twrp and miflash (going from one to another) without having to format internal storage, only data in twrp or save user data option in miflash

Formatting is different from wiping.
And, formatting data erases both data and Internal memory, doesn't it

Internal storage is held in the data partition, so formatting the partition will erase internal storage. Wiping data, TWRP will keep internal storage but delete everything else.
That is new for me.
When i wipe "data", my Photos and Videos will not be earased?
When i wipe "internal storage", my photos and videos are deleted?
I can suggest to install this app if you need to wipe frequently
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kdrag0n.tipatch
App notes:
"Make TWRP include internal storage (photos, videos, downloads, etc) in backups!
WARNING: wiping Data WILL also wipe internal storage, contrary to normal behavior. You have been warned.
TWRP Data backups do not include Internal Storage, which is the emulated SD card that stores your photos, videos, downloads, and more. This means that in the event you transfer phones or completely wipe data, all of that is gone! Users must resort to error-prone manual backups instead."
