After I upgraded my nexus OTA to 4.0.2, my nexus randomly turned off by itself. So I did the factory data reset, but I forgot to backup my phone. I need help recover my images from before

Once it's gone, it's gone.
If you have a backup, restore it
If you don't, why the heck not? YOU'RE SCREWED.
Yeah unfortunately it's gone. Get Titanium Backup from the market and perform a backup. you can set it up to automatically backup any changes, i think.....I haven't tried that option yet. RomManager will backup your current rom if that interests you.
If you can find a way to mount mass storage (which as far as I know isn't possible yet) you can use any number of data recovery utilities to get your data back.
No removable SD card + no USB mass storage is kind of a major fail and my only regret about owning this device...

Caps isn't necessary friend, if they are on your virtual SD card they should still be there. If you've wiped the SD card you can't recover them.

Hello guys,
Soon I want to sell my HOX!
And I want to delete everything on my phone for ever ( So, no body can get my data back by using some applications!) cuz I have very private data and pictures on my phone!
Any ideas!!!
full factory reset and format the sd card
Since you are worried about restoring the data through some app..then you can do one thing fill the sd card again with some random crap and format it.
This should do the job.

thanks a lot
I encrypted my TMO S3, thought the extra layer of precaution was great. Now, when I enter my recovery I can't read my SD card, I can only see my 64 gig external. Additional, when I install apps, it says i have insufficient space. I would like to undo this. I have ODIN and I hope the solution isn't "ODIN to stock". Please advise and thank you - hoping for a quick solution that doesn't involve me doing my root all over. Thank you very much.
I wish I had better news for you... Due to the nature of encryption, the only way to undo it - is to wipe everything. You need to format your SD card and do a factory reset. The good news? No ODIN required. Just plug your phone into the computer and back up your SD card, format it while its connected and go into TWRP and factory reset. Encryption is gone and your data is safe.

Hi all,
Any help would be appreciated.
I connected my LG D852 with MM to the LG software, I had a pop-up that there is an upgrade so clicked OK thinking that the data will not be wiped as long as I will be still on MM. That was wrong! ALL data are wiped including my newborn first photos which are priceless to me . I tried some apps like diskdigger and some software on the PC but all of them require root to perform. From my search, it seems like impossible to root this version of the LG . So, any help to restore these photos will be appreciated.
Additional Information:
- Photos were on the internal memory.
sd card or internal memory ?
if sd, try to restore on PC
if internal this may help https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705
also stop using your phone (take the battery out). Files aren't actually deleted unless overwritten by another app. By using the phone you're keep writing to your memory.

Data are on the internal memory. I tried to follow the link you shared but the main issue is that the phone is required to be rooted which is not possible (to my knowledge) for the LG G3 D852.

Did you install Google Photos at any time? Perhaps it backed them up to the cloud?

Hey guy's,
I've wanted to activate root access on my HTC 10 and followed the instructions until to "unlock bootloader".
After I've unlocked the bootloader and restarted my phone it said that android is booting the apps....
after that, i've got an reseted phone, with cleared internal memory + (and thats the main question) my SD Card, which i had formatted as internal storage before with tons of data on it, could not be read anymore.
My phone says, i have to format it again...? But then i'll lose all my data on the formatted sd card?
So before I do that, I've inserted the SD Card into my PC and there two partitions on this card.
So i think all my data is still on the formatted card but the phone won't accept it.
Why it's telling me to format it again (and lose all my data)?
And is there a way to restore my files from the formatted SD card?
Thank you very much!
Chris
Unlocking bootloader always gives you a factory reset for safety reasons. The encryption key used to encrypt the internally formatted SD card is also cleared by doing so.
The reason you get a factory reset is to prevent someone from unlocking your bootloader, rooting it and gaining access to your phone's data.
As far as I know there's no way to retrieve the data from the SD unless you have a complete system backup of your phone.
I'm also pretty sure the phone (and probably the tutorial) warned you that the phone will be factory reset.
Sorry Chris, nothing anyone can do for you.
This is also one of the reasons why I unlock my bootloader when I start using a new phone. That way I can always make a full backup if I want to do something else, say flash a custom rom at some point.

Maybe not the tutorial but i am pretty sure that when you submit for your unlock token on the HTC website there is a warning that the phone will be factory reset.
I just installed a new rom and allowed google to place back some data, settings and apps.
Google kept the encryption key it seems because I can place back my sd card and it works.
I didn't know Google did that, but hey, if you still haven't formatted and backed up at Google, you could try that
My device was on android 10 then I flashed android 11 using Odin3.
I have lost all data and photos.
Is there any way I can restore the data?
Thank you
Any help experts

Maybe. Always backup critical data redundantly at least 2 times on separate hdds that are physically and electronically isolated.

Why don't you use Google Backup and Google Photos? Easiest way to backup your stuff.
For data (but not photo) backups you can also use adb.

If the victim device was backed up with Google or Samsung cloud this is an option... if it works.
Easiest and the best way is to back it up yourself.
Google backup is a battery and bandwidth hog.
With large data files in the hundreds of GBs it's a sick joke.
Cloud stuff can get hacked and otherwise lost.
Properly stored enterprise class hhds are very reliable and very well isolated.
If you have an SD card slot use that as a data drive. Only the OS, apps, downloads (temporarily) and DCIM (temporarily) go on internal memory.
Set up right you can do a factory reset with zero data loss in about 2 hours.
Nonetheless you always keep the SD card fully backed up!
A .5tb V30 Lexar card is only $64 now... and they run great.

I used to make regular backups to ext SD when I had a phone that had an ext SD slot. Since 2018 (P2XL) I've been on the Pixel line though.
When I was on HTC devices and Samsung before that though, I'd be fearless flashing stuff. I'd always have my TWRP backup on SD to restore if things went sideways.
