Not really sure what to do so any help is appreciated. The other night my phone updated. 4.4.2 so of course I lost my root. Now I can't log into Google. Every time I do says can't establish a network connection. I know back in the past while I was rooted I could edit the ect file. But now I don't have root am I am lost. I try to do a factory reset and no luck. So I have no apps now and lost all of my contacts. I was rooted with kingo so Knox was never tripped. Not really sure what to do. Thanks a lot
Hi All,
So I've come to these forums a bunch seeing new rooting methods and just generally interested in androids in general but I'm having an issue that I can't seem to find addressed anywhere or at least I'm having no success currently getting this to work. So one of my clients has a verizon moto maxx running 4.4.4 kitkat. He used the phone to take a bunch of photo's and video of a trip he went on and when he was trying to move the data onto his computer he accidentally deleted it. Now the phone is a corporate phone, given to him by our company, so rooting isn't really an option and even if it was his bootloader isn't unlocked so I'd have to unlock it which would reformat the phone anyway. So I was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions on how I could recover his data which is very important to him without rooting and\or a root work around that I can do without unlocking the bootloader.
Thanks all you're my best hope,
Ber

Technically, the only the international versions of this device are called the "Moto Maxx", the Verizon versions are called the "Droid Turbo". There are no root or bootloader unlock methods available for the Turbo.
He might be able to recover the data, depending on how he deleted it and what's he done since deleting it. If he hit a delete all button or something, then he might be good. That only really deletes the "hooks" to that data and makes the storage space the data exists on available to write on, because that's a lot faster than actually deleting all of the data. The only way the data really gets deleted is once that storage space is overwritten with new data.
There's no way of knowing if the data is still there to be recovered, and you need to use 3rd party software to do so. My friend has used this service before with success: http://www.wondershare.net/ad/dr-fo...geK_vorCLp-HKwHo11cOy-LBrNS29vKP50aAoOg8P8HAQ
I've never personally used it, nor do I know if it costs anything. It doesn't appear to, but I haven't installed it.
Try using Puran File Recovery. I've used it in the past when i've accidently deleted a file off my phone. I believe it's free to use.
@joshm.1219
I used Dr. Fone and it said the phone was not a serviceable model. It still said it could recover the data but required the phone to be rooted since it wasn't a normal model for it. Thanks for the suggestion though.
How do I use Puran File Recover on my phone?

Hi there, I am a huge noob (as in I just started trying to retrieve my sms messages today) and am hoping Puran can help me... After trying to root my phone for a long time I found out that Android Maxx 4.4.4 can't be. So now I'm looking at recovery options that don't require the phone to be rooted. I downloaded Puran to my computer, but can't figure out how to run it on my phone. So I also tried to download it on my phone, but the file won't open.... How have you run it on your phone in the past? I am beyond desperate to recover these texts and any help you can provide will be HUGELY appreciated.
Hello, I have a question. I am trying to root my (ATT note 3 ANDROID 4.4.4 N900A) which is wiped and I am using this websites instructions >>>http://androidmtk.com/root-samsung-galaxy-note-3-sm-n900a . In step 10 , The oldin program keeps FAILING . How do I get the oldin program to pass so that I can root my device . I appreciate your help and thanks in advance.
Look up user Kevin quintana (kevinwithtecg) on youtube. He has a step-by-step process to revert the phone to 4.4.2, root it, then upgrade back to 4.4.4 while maintaining root. I used it and it works perfectly. It will however wipe your phone clean (contacts, apps, etc.), so save those and reup.
Someone I work with has the s5 active model g870a that has received the marshmallow 6.0.1 update. Something has happened that for some reason has wiped all of the pictures from her phone. I was going to see if I can recover anything from the phone, however I will need root access if I am going to examine the empty parts of the drive to see if I can recover anything. Does/can anyone tell me an effective rooting method for this phone? Does anyone have any idea how I can attempt a recovery of the photos without root?
*Edit*
I see there is a cf autoroot for SM-G870W. I feel like if I try this method I'm going to be looking at a bricked phone.
*Mod can this post be deleted? This is also posted in the S5 general forum
I need to root my Samsung S8 Plus to retrieve some photos and videos I deleted and need to get them back. The phone is still under contract (VZW) and I know that rooting it will void the warranty. I ran a program called diskdigger and recovered a lot of them already. The app is telling me in order to get videos I need to root the phone. The diskdigger app is wanting me to go to one click root to do this. After I get the needed files I want to unroot it.
If I sue the one click root method does the phone stay the same only it's now rooted?
Can someone hold me with this? Comments ideas or suggestions....

Of you have used kingroot then uninstall the app to unroot your phone
This helps by not giving root permission to any app
And I also insist that you never root your device as I have also experienced when I have lost my official rom while rooting
