I have deleted all my pictures and videos by accident is there anyway i could recover them as i cant use a program on pc as it mounts as mtp and they dont recognize it.
i am on LiQUIDSMOOTH-v1.1-Maguro rom if that is of any help.
Thanks
Hopefully you have google plus installed with instant upload on, if you do then they're on your google account and you can get them back. If not your sol... Sorry.
You can maybe mount your sdcard and try to un delete files with a disk recovery program but its not a guarantee since it works by read data blocks that are marked as deleted aka writable.
how will i mount it as a sd card as when i plug it into pc it just sees it as mtp and cant see it with recovery programs.
and i dint set up the google plus instant upload so no way that way.
And i havent used the phone really since deleted everything so dont think anything will have been written to them parts so maybe more chance of getting them back

You can't mount it as USB Mass Storage. Its all one partition, so it can't be done. You've got MTP and PTP, that's it.
Everything is probably lost.
Set up Dropbox instant upload or Google+ instant upload for the future.
I never used this app but its worth a shot. I have used similar on a PC and it brought back files from 7 plus years ago. Tell us how it works cause these apps, while not used often are priceless and ill make not of it.

Hello there,
it is one of the best phone and the easiest to recover or update in my opinion but,
the issue of no memory card is really something bad for your files in case if something happened to the phone!
i know backup is so important but what if you phone crashed all of the sudden because of an application update and you will enter in the repeated boot loops and you have to reset the phone or flash new software!!
OH! Then your will loose everything in the mobile !
it is really sad it happened to me twice in2 weeks i lost allot of good pictures.
i am sure most of the phone users tried to recover the lost files and no one could do it because the phone is identified as MTP, no logical letter drive can be assigned to the phone!!!
All recover software’s couldn’t find the phone and even when i tried hexcomp from the market to recover the pictures, couldn’t do it.
my question for our developers is there any scripts can make the phone work as usb when it is switched off ??
or ,
is there any way to assign a logical drive to the phone instead of MTP so we can recover the lost files?
I don’t know why Goggle didn’t think of such problem because it happened to allot of people and I am not used to back up my files before because there were in memory card.
I really hope the developers will work on such issue because this is the worst thing I found it in the phone.
I might be wrong but I think you can pull everything off the phone using adb whilst in recovery mode?
Dropbox.
It can sync pictures as soon as you take them.
You can sync files between multiple devices, including uploading and downloading to your phone.
Titanium Backup can be synced to drop box.
Check it out,

i tried Pull before it took long time without doing nothing
i know dropbox and i know what it do
i am asking the DEVELOPERS:
1-is there any scripts can make the phone work as usb when it is switched off ??
2-is there any way to assign a logical drive to the phone instead of MTP so we can recover the lost files?
Thanks

Theoretically you probably could write a CWM script to create a virtual folder and mount that as USB media via CWM. But it would require loading the script to the phone via ADB anyways.
This has also been discussed before:

Hi guys,
I really need your help on this one.
I have searched the forums and the web for a full day now and it seems that I am not alone with my problem here:
Last night I used Solid Explorer to create a subfolder with pictures within the Camera folder. I then tried to move that folder somewhere else on the "SD Card".
But when the process was finished, the subfolder was empty and all the pictures were gone. I could still see the thumbnails in the Camera folder, but when I tried to open one of them, they also all just disappeared!
Now I have read several threads here on xda about the problems of file recovery on a MTP device... Seems like normal file recovery programs will not be of any help in this case.
However I was hoping, that by now someone came up with a solution to this problem, since it affects all users of the GNex.
Some more infos on my side:
The phone runs 4.0.4, is not rooted and not unlocked - everything is stock.
Data back up via Google Plus and Dropbox was not possible, since I am on holidays in Asia with no data plan or WiFi available.
I have switched the phone to flight mode and (hopefully) not written any new data on the storage.
So my questions would be the following:
1) Has anybody yet found a way to asign a physical drive letter to the GNex, making it possible to be recognized by regular file recovery software?
Or is anybody currrently looking into that matter, trying to find a solution?
2) In case that I will not be able to recover the pictures myself through some pc software off the net, will I be able to let some professional have my files restored for me? If I understand correctly, all it takes is a software, that is able to recognize a ext3 or ext4 storage system???
I would really appreciate any help on this matter, because these pictures mean a lot to me and I really hope that I will be able to get them back somehow.
Thanks in advance,
Patrick.
Edit: Argh! First post and I got it wrong already! Sorry, I meant to post this in the Q/A section but ended up posting it in General :-/
I had to format my sd card losing 13GB of information yesterday. This was also due to stupid mtp. Sorry i doubt you can recover.
Sorry to hear that! Until now I could never understand the objections many people seemed to have concerning MTP, as it handled pretty much the same as an USB device when using a Windows PC. But now that I gained some insight in the matter, it's probably the ONE thing I don't like about this phone.
It just sucks to find that out the hard way...
But maybe somebody else still has an idea and can point me in the right direction?
I've had the same problem, and I'm blaming MTP as well. I finally gave up, formatted my drive and replaced MTP with cloud services or transferring files via adb.
At some point, I did something that enabled me to plug my Note 2 into my computer and then pull up
the Play store online and then install apps over USB. Somehow, today, that option is gone.
In windows explorer, no longer is the phone even showing up.
This is in addition to the multiple problems I've had getting my external SD card to stay mounted.
I took it out of the phone earlier today, formated it to fat32, then it worked, until I rebooted the phone.
I've got so many problems going on with this phone. I would pay someone to help me get it fixed and stay fixed.
Laugh all you want at me, I don't mind. I'll admit I'm in over my head.
I had no idea I would need a PhD in computer engineering to work this phone.
Let me put it this way: I no longer even have the wherewithall to write out what I've done and all the steps and procedures
I've gone through.

Not sure about the SD card, but your USB connection might be because you uninstalled Samsung USB drivers? As for play store, you don't need usb connection to get an app to install from pc play store. Just select your phone when installing and the app will automatically install on your phone as long as you have internet connection
So I connected it to my laptop to clean up some of my files and folders and to transfer some things onto my pc.
I remember deleting some folder called Mogo-Audiance or something along those lines, as well as another folder that seemed to be unimportant. I try to then move some music files from the download folder into my Music folder (transferring within the phone at this point) but it says theres some error and it can't be moved. I rebooted and replugged tried again no avail. Then tried moving a picture from phone to the computer. Error message again. Reboot once more and this time when I go into MTP only two files remain: Android and Viber. I check my phone itself and all my photos/videos/music are gone. Apps still remain intact however. I already tried Stellar Phoenix Recovery but it won't detect my phone.
Very frustrated and have no idea how to proceed.....
I attached some screenshots showing empty phone folders on pc and phone itself as well as recovery program being unable to detect phone.

It cannot detect phone because it needs to Mount as USB mass storage device. No external storage= no UMS
You might be able to dump raw IMG somehow of storage and put on flash drive and try to recover... but takes lotta work.
Seems like you deleted something you shouldn't have. Take it as lesson learned to not just delete random files if you don't know what it is

I'm actually about to cry. The photos I had on there were invaluable to me, please explain that way that you said I might be able to get it back.

I'm sorry to hear that.
And also sorry to say I cannot help anymore than providing this information here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705
As I said, it is a lengthy and maybe in depth process but MAY be possible. No guarantee.
I haven't ever had to try this tho so I cannot give any more or better info other than what is in that thread.
Just take your time, use Google for things you cannot understand(you may ask me or here in this thread also for clarification of some steps and if I can help I will) and try not to stress.
And one thing I will recommend for future use is to install G+ and turn on photo sync settings. I have this on. You get 15gb free storage for photos and will backup as you take pictures and videos OR whenever you tell it to.
Or you could use dropbox or similar as that also has a photo sync option available. These things are invaluable in terms of peace of mind for if situation like this ever occurs again.
Hello Guys,
Phone Specs: Note 4 SM-910A Android 6.0.1
I'm felling kinda "not so smart" today, because by mistake I pressed the Trash icon when in the Gallery, just wanting to get rid of one image in a folder and quickly realized that preview was for the entire folder and not a simngle image thus the entire folder of 3000+ images and videos where deleted by mistake
I tried to stop it and it looked ok, nothing happened "seemly", but within a few mins all was gone.
The second not so smart thing is a lack of a current backup, as I don't seem to connect my phone to a computer like I used to, so it was out of sign out of mind. So my last backup was May of 2017.
Then using apps like DiskDigger shows me 13,000+ files, but most are junk from what I can see and I'm still missing what I wanted to keep / restore.
dr.fone and anything I could find seems like pure trash or at least for my phones version it has ZERO value. Also tried taking the MicroSD and using working USB converter(s)many computers will not even read it. So I will not reform it, or maybe all will be lost forever. It must be in some type of proprietary format, but I can read the card, :when it's in the phone" in the list under My Computer showing SAMSUNG-SM-N910A as a drive / device.
Also I'm not sure what to use that works like an Itunes type of backup, that will always backup even over WIFI, so this can never happen again. Are there any tricks to this that I'm missing, is there no file restore that indicates previous path and or deletion time and date.?
Thank guys for any help / direction you can offer.
Don't know about recovering your files but I use foldersync to backup my phone automatically at night when it's plugged in to the wall and on wifi, I set it so it backs up to my smb share. The app has several ways of doing backups and where to save backups
If u have Google photo sync enabled then ure stuff is backed up so check ure Google account first.
If not them there are 2 ways go about it from pc or straight from ure phone.
Install one of the hundred of free undelete/restore apps from playstore or Google on pc. And just let it scan ure SD card it will find all ure pics just don't save anything new to the SD card until I've recovered it or u will start to loose some data as new stuff overwrites the old. As for videos Ive had mix results so your milage may vary u may get some u may get no n e u may get all but unplayable.....who knows video files are more complex than pictures and documents.
