I have a HTC M7 which won't connect to Moborobo. I have two other phones that do. The M7 keeps coming up with a screen that tells me to put it into usb debug mode but it already is. The phone is rooted and unlocked. I thought this maybe the problem so I was going to relock the phone but read that I can clear everything and possibly even brick the phone, hence why I am now running it past the people here. I just want to transfer all my contacts, sms, data, photos etc to my new phone as well as perform backups, and I have found this program to be awsome in doing that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Wayne

Long story short, the phone was acting up a bit, I was drunk, so I went to bootloader and accidently instead of just doing proper reboot from there, I did factory reset :crying:
Is there any way to try some "undeleting" software to salvage whatever isn't really overwritten yet?
I tried couple softwares I've used to undelete files on PC with no luck, they can't see the One since it doesn't get it's own letter by the OS when connected, I also tried Wondershare Dr.Fone which is meant specifically for phones, but it can't see One either, same reason apparently.
All the apps in Google Play that should fit the bill require root, and mine isn't rooted and would rather keep it this way than root it.
3 days worth of photos & video from Ruisrock festival gone :crying:
I think you can't found your deleted file...
Yes, you can. Here's some HTC phone data recovery guide which you can try
HTC One phone data recovery
Restore photos from HTC One phone
hope this helps.
Hello there people of XDA, I am glad I've found a place where I might find the answer for the problem I have been facing with nowadays.
I am using LG P880 Optimus 4xHD, but I haven't done any Android OS upgrades, I bought it at May 2013 so I think it still has the Ice cream sandwich system. Anyways, I had somehow forgot my screen lock pattern and tried to unlock it unsuccessfully 15 times, and my phone was locked. I couldn't confirm my Google account details as Wifi and mobile data were turned off. I hadn't have enabled USB debugging by then, also I don't have CWM recovery mode and so on. What can I say, I was just a simple user. But right now, I don't want to lose all the data I had stored inside. It used to work as MTP device but as it is locked right now I can't even access my files in it. I found some programs and guides about how to unlock this pattern lock but not for my device, instead Nexus devices and so on. I am so lost about this, all the guides and videos I have found either require USB debugging enabled, or a Samsung/Nexus/HTC device :/ I really hope you guys know how can I can solve this before taking it to another Tech service. I have tried 2 of them but they were simply unqualified and never heard of any process people mention about here, they just wipe all the data and give the phones back to customers.
Have a nice day everyone
Since you are probably on ICS, there is almost no chance you can unlock it in the situation you described.

I don't think that you have any chance to get your data. sorry
None of the services can do that, so you can reset phone by yourself to save money and time
So after encountering the annoying 505 error I did a full back up via the Backup app as sync manager on the laptop wasn't playing ball.
Did the hard factory reset and then restored from the back up file I had made 10 minutes beforehand.
Most things have restored but I went to check a picture and ALL GONE!
Things like whatsapp messages and contacts didn't restore either.
What can do to recover the lost images?
and typically none of it worked to solve the 505 error.
I know this isn't the usual standard of question on this forum but is anyone able to shed some light on my problem?
Does the HTC Backup program, back up images or is that an oversight on my part?
ok so it seems that i'm an idiot and htc doesn't back up images on an htc account back up.
I'm now trying to run my phone through recovery software (MagicCute Recovery) but the program won't recognize the phone, I guess because it's not a mass storage device and connects via MTP?
I read a guild to turn on developer mode and then turn on USB debugging but that hasn't made any difference.
If there a way to plug my phone in and the computer to recognize it as a mass storage device?

check google playstore for undelete software, plenty on there, be careful about how much you install or uninstall.
Dont know if your aware of this, but nothing is ever really deleted, its flagged as safe to be overwritten and hidden from the user, too much installing or un-installing apps will overwite the flagged images.

I am sure that when connected to a Linux machine it shows as an external drive...not sure if that helps at all ?
If what i suggest is true then you can run Linux within windows from a USB drive,but clearly your recovery software has to be a linux compatible version.
Just a suggestion rather than fact!

Currently browsing play store now, is there any you can recommend?
I wasn't fully aware of how it works but I knew I could recovery most with some nifty software. MagicCute has worked wonders in the past for me.
At least all my music is stored in music play store.
I found a PC based program to scan the phone but the phone requires to me rooted for that, although that was my main reason for joining this forum to root I'm a little apprehensive to do anything like that until I have saved my pics!
Cheers.

Someone else said they had great luck with DiskDigger Pro
Good luck!
Sorry sheppster, completely missed your reply somehow yesterday. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks clsa I'll give that a go once rooted.
I'm currently reading, reading watching and rewatching content on the rooting process. Very confusing for a complete and utter noob. A lot of content is spoken as if I have a clue, haha.
But I'm now registered on HTC DEV, all videos and content say to select all other supported devices due to the HTC One not being listed, but it is. I'm guessing HTC Dev has been updated since the guides were posted. Shall I click HTC One or still use other devices?
I installed Android Studio and also JDK which it asked for, but when continuing to install Android Studio I got the following message...
Is this detrimental to the use of the program or can I just continue?
Sorry this thread is going to turn into more of a rooting Q&A.
I now have sync manager working correctly and have made a back up on my laptop which I'm happier with than having something floating about in my HTC Account. So I think I'll go ahead and try unlocking my bootloader.
Well I have unlooked the bootloader now. Successfully? Not sure!
After confirming to unlock it then restarted and kept going round in circles, it's now saying "Android is upgrading" running through 253 apps. Nothing like the XDA video where it just restarts as a fresh phone.
I used the HTC One instructions from the drop down menu in the end.
Fingers crossed at the end of that it's working and I can continue to root.
Well considering I have an early start I've stayed up far too long messing around.
BUT! My phone is now rooted, I did attempt putting a venom rom on but it didn't install properly although I seem to have a large ammount of it's features here and there like being able to boot directly to bootloader or recovery from the power button.
But any way the lapcop software I had appeared to be useless, it found 603 images from various emails and programs files none on my actual pictures. I'm not running disk digger which again has found background images but still 85% left to scan.
I'm not holding out too much hope now as there's been a few files added and deleted to root and also reset again to root.
I'll update tomorrow how it went.
I didn't realise how cheap Disk Digger Pro was, so bought and ran that last night. I think it found touch under 4000 images but again mostly PNG program images.
It did manager to find 41 useful images though. It seemed to mainly pick up pictures which I had recently used on facebook, so annoyingly mainly recoverable images through facebook.
It picked up a lot of signatures from various emails and made a lot of duplicates. Not a bad effort for under 2 quid though.
Apologies. I posted this first in another forum, but this appears to be the correct place for it, and I think I just messed up trying to post to this forum.
Hopefully this isn't too big a question.
My phone just did this all on its own, I was just browsing the web with it. Just running whatever was on there from Verizon and HTC, not rooted or anything.
Now all I can do is get to the fastboot menu, and can do a few things there. I just tried to go to hboot then factory reset, this after trying a lot of things, and it didn't work.
It's connected to my computer, it seems to be recognized, at least by "fastboot devices" but not by "adb devices".
It shows as "***LOCKED***" and "S-ON". Everything I've found that talks about changing those requires going into the settings, setting developer mode and or usb debugging. I can't see how to do that if I can't get into the OS.
I chatted online with HTC yesterday, and they said Verizon should help. I just spoke to Verizon, and they said HTC should help. So, it looks like I get zilch from either of them. At this point I'm looking for a data recovery company, maybe someone can crack the thing open and get my photos out of it.
The irony here is that if I had rooted the phone already I likely wouldn't be in this mess. It feels like encouragement to root these devices before they inexplicably choke.
Am I screwed?
Thanks for any assistance.

it seems that you lost your OS for some reason. Data recovery would be a waste of time since you already reset the phone anyway so if you didn't use an SdCard then bad luck.
If you dont wanna send you phone for repair, your best option its to ROOT and install a Verizon software yourself.
NOTE: if you had an SdCard and also got deleted, just use any data recovery program to recover most of the files
NOTE: do a bit of search about recovery programs as they might also access you phone if rooted. maybe one in Google play store?

If your primary concern is data, my guess is you would be wasting time even with recovery software, all those I have tried have successfully recovered images half black, half missing etc.
I was told there was a Note 5 at work last week and told no one can use it at is broken. Up for the challenge I thought I could root it, custom rom etc etc and all would be good.
Unfortunately I think this phone may be unusable however if anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to try.
The phone was previously used by an employee who left over a year ago, went overseas and is not contactable. This same person set up the phone with their google account.
It looks like a factory reset was done to try access the phone however this presents the problem that now the phone states "this device was reset. To continue sign in with a Google account the was previously used on the account."
This means I cannot get into settings, developer mode, usb debugging. Without this I cannot root the phone as I keep getting a fail on Oden when I try load cf root. Also cannot load TWRP through Oden.
I have tried reloading the latest samsung firmware but even with this I am still asked to Verify the account before proceeding.
I've tried a bunch of hacks from various Youtube videos but it looks like Google has patched all the previous solutions.
Pretty much have hit a wall. Anyone with any suggestions (if possible) greatly appreciated.
