Hey guys, I mistakenly erased some videos/pictures from my phone, is there any way to recover them? My phone is not rooted everything is stock and it's running Jelly Bean from the OTA update.
Don't think there is, sorry.

That will not work. You cannot mount a GNex to a PC so the recovery software will work.

Uh sorry buddy Ur screwed. The only possible solution you could have is using Root Explore. And that requires. And I'm not even sure if that would help

It is possible to recover lost files from Galaxy nexus phones with android data recovery software. See this step by step guide: recover data from none rooted galaxy android phone

A 2 and a half year old thread and you had to revive it?

Could someone PLEASE be kind enough to try to explain how to place a Nandroid backup into the TWRP folder using ADB??
PLEASE.
While some people on here are very skilled at what they do others are not and those people sometimes forget that and don't explain things clearly...
Following half-assed instructions now has my Sprint Galaxy Nexus telling me there's "no sim card" and I have no service...
I did find a Nandroid backup but I have to put in in the TWRP folder using ADB and I have no clue how to...
any/all "help" that I seem to find makes no sense because, like I said, some folks assume EVERYONE is a developer with 10 years experience and their 5-word instructions will explain everything...
I've been searching for hours with no luck...
anyway, if someone can please tell me what to do I'd be greatly appreciative.
thanks.
Simple download that nandroid. Make a nandroid... then mount the phone to your PC. Then find the twrp folder in the internal storage on the computer and go into the backups then into the long gibberish folder and paste that nandroid in there should be a date.... then go into recovery and restore it.... no adb needed I just did this for my phone.

I want to flash a custom rom on my Note 2 from bell mobility.
I'm following steps from wiki called How To Install CyanogenMod Android for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte")
When I type heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --no-reboot, it gives me a message "heimdall is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
What am I doing wrong?
First of all what is your model number? Are you rooted? Custom recovery?

I'm not rooted. I'm following the steps in "Installing a custom recovery on Galaxy Note 2 LTE"
Samsung devices come with a unique boot mode called Download Mode which is very similar to Fastboot Mode on some devices with unlocked bootloaders. Heimdall is a cross-platform, open source tool for interfacing with Download Mode on Samsung devices. The preferred method of installing a custom recovery is through this boot mode. Rooting the stock firmware is neither recommended nor necessary.

Model number is SGH-i317M. M simply means Bell Mobility, they always add "M" at the end. Otherwise it's the same, no difference.

Thank you but this one is using odin I think. I heard that Heimdall is better. If you go to the cyanogenmod website and select Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte"), then you can click "How To Install CyanogenMod Android for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE ("t0lte")" and it has the instuctions. This is the part I'm having a problem with. This is the guide they provide for the cyanogenmod, so it's kind of "official" and that's why I want to use it. Also when I'm stuck at something I want to figure it out instead of jumping from one thing to another. I don't understand why it's not working I'm following all the instructions. I'm wondering if anyone used the method I'm trying to use.
Have you installed Heimdall on your mac computer? You have to install it on your computer, NOT on your phone..
Then you place your phone in download mode, and run the heimdall command from your Mac..
AND, if instruction on XDA appear "too sophisticated" for you, then you are NOT ready to root your phone, trust me on this one..
But hey, its your phone, so go crazy....

There's nothing more official about this method than any of the others suggested. And wade I'd right, if the other methods are too sophisticated for you then you aren't ready for this.

Hahaha:good: It's just a matter of following steps. And from reading the guide I don't need to root my phone. I like when everything is complete and clear. After so many years I though it would become simpler to install a rom, not more complicated.
I have a PC, not a Mac. But how do I install it on my computer? It doesn't say neither how nor that I need to in the instructions.

They look sophisticated, but I can still do them. I flashed roms with odin on my galaxy s 2. However I already started with something so that's how I want to finish it. Also the creator of the rom provides instructions how to install his rom so that's why I want to do it that way.
Heimdall is for mac's not pc's, so if you want to install ANY custom rom on your phone, you need to be able to use Odin
and, you MUST root your phone to install Cyanogen mod or any custom rom, period, no matter what you might have read..

Don't be so negative. Isn't cyanogenmod the best rom out there for android? In that case I thought the best way to install it is to follow the directions the creators of this rom give you.

This rooting technique Finally worked you will need three files
1) SDK TOOLS from
2) recovery.img from
3)MRKREHANROOT from
you should have unlock boot loaders USB drivers installed and should be on android 4.3
copy mrkrehanrehanroot3.1.zip in sdcard
be in fastboot mode ie switch off your device and hold both volume up and down and power button together and keep your device connected to PC
Extract the sdktools and place the revovery.img in that folder
then with one finger on shift key right click in an empty space in the folder and select open command window here
then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it will flash recovery to your device
in recovery no need wipe anything install the zip mrkrehanroot3.1.zip
and reboot
download any app that requires root access and check for example root explorer
it should ask root acess
in this way you have rooted your device
Keep the thanks rolling and follow me on

I use that method, cannot restore any app with TB or install Busybox, for some reason it's root but not completely.
This thread shouldn't be in dev section, and there were bunch of root method threads/posts that could be easily found.

Read description:
Titanium Backup is an example of such an app. It may incorrectly detect the path to your internal storage for backups, and thus crash on backup/restore. You can fix this by going into preferences and selecting a folder under /storage/emulated/legacy as backup/restore path, not under /storage/emulated/0.

Hello guys,
I have a big problem.
I jsut installed TWRP 2.6.0 and when I decided to unlock the bootloader and reboot ny Nexus, it stuck on the animation.
I then rebooted into the recovery and did a factory reset by mistake. Problem is I don't have an OS anymore and I don't know how to restart....
I hear about ADB push but I don't know how to do that... and my Computer doesn't recognize my Tablet anymore, it's there but I can't access to storage...
Thanks for any help
