ok so I have been trying and trying for days to pull up some files that i had hidden through an app that turned all my .jpegs into #jpegs on my phones internal memory but unfortunately the entire folder has been deleted and because i had hidden the files the normal programs to pull deleted files wont work my question is this. Does anyone know of a decent way to try and recover these files? no I'm not looking to get back deleted porn I'm trying to recover hidden screen shots I took.
running at&t note 3 on 4.4.2

Windows Media Player 10 has just uninstalled itself from my BA... short of a hard reset and start again, how can I get it back? I tried a hard reset then copy the files from the windows folder but it wont let me copy them!!
For now, I have restored my previous setup, and I will try to instlal the older WMP 7.1... but its really annoying.
Can anyone tell me for example how to access protected files? Can I access the device in bootloader mode from a computer perhaps?
Thanks for you help!
I spoke too soon.. upon trying to do an ActiveSync restore after a hard reset, it tells me I cannot restore since the restore was created from a different kind of mobile device... bollocks, HELP!!!
Alright, Ive restored OK... thats that crisis over.
And post-restore, the media player prog is back in the windows folder but start icon isnt, so will put that back manually.
However I suppose my original question still stands, is there any way to access those locked system files e.g. for copying?
I'm thinking acessing the PPC when windows isnt loaded is the way to do it?

You are right. I am looking for a method to access window folders in bootloader mode or before tapping on screen. But, I didn´t find it anywhere.
I downloaded 4-5 music files from play.google.com/music.
They seem to be somewhere in the phone but not on the SD card.
I looked through all the folders I could see, but could not find any music (mp3?) files.
Questions: where are those off-line music files stored?
TIA

I believe you'll have to be rooted and have a way to view hidden files
If that's not it check this post out, it may lead you to it

You must be right.
I can see the folders but they show up as empty as I do not have root access.
Can I delete those folders to get rid of the music or do I have to have root access for that?
im on 4.4 stock, non rooted, i deleted some pictures in the gallery app by accident. is there anything i can do to get themh as back? all the apps such as disk digger are for rooted phones. i am extremely confused when it comes to rooting 4.4 and i know you have to revert back to 4.2.2 and im afraid that will overwrite that data. without usb mass storage mode, i cant do a scan on the computer. please help.

Chances are, they are probably gone forever. BUT, you could try these apps:
hxxps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bero.sdrescan
hxxps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.baloota.dumpster
I've seen reports of lost pictures coming back after a rescan. You could also check the .thumbnails folder to see if they are there, but they won't be the full-res photos from your camera folder. another spot to check is /sdcard/DCIM/Camera/cache. Do this on your computer or with a file browser on your phone such as Astro. Helium is a good app that doesn't require root to back up your stuff. I'd recommend using a backup program and set up an online storage solution using google+ or dropbox to automatically upload new photos you take.
A last resort, you could try using your PC to recover them as well using hxxp://www.recovering-deleted-files.net/android-data-recovery. I haven't used this myself and don't know if it's free or not, but there's a youtube video out there showing how it works. There's also another program called Recuva that you could try.
Best of luck. Let us know how it goes.
I accidentally deleted some pictures off of my ATT s6. I thought it would be easy to recover the pictures, but that does not seem to be the case. My phone has 5.0.2 android with a baseband version ending in OF4. The kernel is Aug 5th 2015. Based on my research it appears that my phone is currently unrootable? And root privileges are needed by any android app to recover the pictures? I also tried a windows app Wondershare Dr. phone for android, although it doesn't seem to recognize my phone. Any solutions? I know that I am running out of time since the pictures will be gone forever if the memory if used by other files. Thanks in advance!

I dont know if this helps. U gotta stop trying to root and try to find away to get it without root
If you connect the phone to your pc via usb, the pc will see the phone as a removable hard drive. You can use hard drive recovery software on the pc to recover the deleted files. I did this to recover files from an sd card that I accidentally deleted. I do not remember which recovery utility that I used.
AoN
Can you post if any of those programs work? I always thought once you delete stuff it is gone. I really dont see how you can recover it but maybe theres a way. Thanks
Unless you use secure delete, most of the time, all that happens is that the address of the data is removed from a table of files to be tracked. The original data is still there. File recovery utilities just look for blocks of data that appear to be connected, and attempt to recover / copy / rename each block to a new (safe) location.
Hi, i am new here, please bear with me if i posted in the wrong section, but i am desperate in need of help.
So i have taken some video files with my phone, around 10-12 of them, some are not nice so i deleted couple of them. Later around 7-8 hours later, i realised i have wrong deleted some others when i am viewing the rest via google photo on my phone. So i go to the bin folder and found those deleted files. I restored them all and the phone showed the word "restored". But when i go back to the camera folder, only 2 of the 8 restored files are there, the rest of missing, no longer in the bin folder and not restored either back to the camera folder.
Can anyone help me, please.
