It depends.
1) Did you configure your camera to save them to the external fat32 (or exFAT) sdcard? Then it should be fairly easy to undelete most of them.
2) Or did you save them to your internal ext4 formatted sd (the default)? If yes, then you're mostly outta luck, UNLESS you were rooted, in which case you can make a disk image and then use a util on your PC like photorec (from testdisk) to recover them.

I actually have a similar but different question. I am running AOKP and end up flashing new versions often. I noticed that I lose my pictures each time and thought I was out of luck. But today I noticed in astronomy that all my pictures were actually in camera folder but the camera app does not see them. How can I make it so that they show up in the gallery?

Not sure, maybe you're dirty flashing and need to clear data for media?
Try using QuickPic gallery instead. It's all I use and it always picks up my internal&external DCIM directories.
(I move my photos to the external fat32 DCIM dir every once in a while in order to use QuickPic's "fix file date using exif date" function, which only works on fat32, but not ext4)

I saved them at the default (not sdcard). I don't think I rooted them because I don't even know what is rooted. I just brought the phone and started taking pictures.

I never dirty flash always complete wipe. Any other way to get the stock galaxy app to see all the pictures in the folder but just the ones that I take with the newest version?
I'm not really a fan of having multiple apps
Edit: okay just check out that app seems nice I can set it all to default but for example when I'm in the camera app and press the pictures to view them I do not go straight there. Any way to change that?

I have never tried it with a phone but try downloading Recuva , plug your phone into the computer and then on Recuva select the phone drive to scan and see if you have any luck with that.

MTP is used now, not USB Mass Storage, so that won't work.

Since the internal SD is mounted as a fuse FS, none of the existing utilities work. I had thisbsame problem with my Xoom several months ago.

Oh, true. I hate MTP every time I want to transfer something -- "This file format is not supported would you like to convert it." even though the file is supported.

Wanted: Asus VivoTab RT Recovery Files to download

My Asus VivoTab RT 64GB is playing up and I cannot refresh or reinstall the OS as I get an Insert Media missing files error (see photo). Obviously Windows RT tablets don't come with external media with the OS.
I would be eternally grateful if someone could copy the recovery files to a usb (an option given in the OS) and then upload the file to either skydrive, drop box or other host for me to download. Once downloaded, the file can be deleted from the host. I think the file is between 3.5gigs and 4gigs. I could then re host it for anyone else who needs it.
Please, I have contributed a lot to the xda forum and would really appreciate some help.
FYI I had sent my tab to Asus for repair and it came back with the ability to not be able to refresh pc and I am furious. I don't want to send it off again and be without it again for another two weeks.
Thank you!

Sorry, I don't have the tablet, otherwise I'd be glad to help.
I have the x86 Windows 8, and it has the option to create recovery media (I used USB). I gather this is how one would create the files you need? It is probably a stupid idea, but have you tried creating a recovery media (assuming you can get to those menus)? The recovery data should be somewhere on the disk, so it might work.

I plugged in a usb to make a recovery usb but it only copies files to boot up and not all 3.5 gigs worth. The option to copy the recovery partition to usb is greyed out so I cant check it. When I use Disk Management, the recovery partition reports 4 gigs and is healthy so can't on earth figure out why I cant make a recovery usb. is there a way to show the recovery folder and manually copy the files? I uses security tab to get adminsterative rights to show the recovery folder in C:\ but the folder is empty.

My system said I needed an 8 Gb USB drive (but recommended 16 Gb). How big is your USB drive? It may be grayed out because there isn't enough room on the drive.

Strictly speaking, the OP didn't mention trying Reset (only Refresh and "reinstall" which may or may not have been Reset) but if those didn't work, it's highly unlikely that Reset would. Please do at least read the first post before commenting!

[Q] Data recovery on Xperia S (rooted)

Hi all,
Just wanted to start by saying, big thanks to DooMLoRD and the rest of the xda-developers forum for providing me the tools to get root access to a friends phone, who has recently accidentally deleted all their photos and videos. If we are successful, I'll definitely be suggesting that they make a donation to Doom for his epic contributions
I'm trying to help them recover the lost media. I know that typically performing data recovery on a phone requires root access, so I have gone ahead and done this. On with...
My question:
I've got an Xperia S running Jellybean (4.1.2) which is rooted. However attempting to use my data recovery tools on the phone, the device is not shown as a storage device. As you may well be aware, the S does not come with external storage. The S also has the 'mass storage mode' removed. Nice one Sony, give professionals another reason to avoid your products in the future...
I don't want to Flash the phone since any added files will start destroying the potentially recoverable data (plus I'd simply rather not format the phone if possible).
Is it possible to mount the internal storage of the Sony Xperia S as a drive so that I can run my PC based data recovery tools on it?
I imagine App Store apps are too lightweight to handle a file-based undeletion. If I could just see the device in my recovery apps I'm sure I'd be in business! I've attempted Recuva and R-Studio.

Doing some more research (like a good little n00b) I imagine I'm going to need SD Mounter.
I'm a little thrown off because 'SD' usually describes SD cards (of which the Xperia S has none). Also, the screenshots (for SD mounter) seem to indicate it's for ICS so I'm not sure if there's going to be a compatibility issue there.
Am I barking up the wrong tree by making this assumption? Should JellyBean have access to the mass storage and the option is simply not showing for some reason? Anyway, I'll continue working under my assumptions until someone suggests otherwise...
To get SD Mounter running, I'm going to need BusyBox. The problem is, I'm trying to read the BusyBox installation FAQ, and I'm finding it very vague. Like...
and save it under the name "busybox"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but it does not specify WHERE. Make a folder called 'busybox' on the root folder of the phone? Somewhere on my PC (the page suggests its for the PC rather than the phone)? Also I'm seeing Linux-looking command lines, but I'm on a PC... can I run this via the command prompt in Windows? I downloaded the 'binaries' like it said, but there aren't any executables in here...
Can anyone shed some light?

There's an app called BusyBox Installer, that installs it correctly on my Xperia S. That SD Mounter app works perfectly on 4.1.2, though. I use time to time. It just messes up a bit with Media Scanner, requiring me to do a reboot on the phone to make it work again.
I wish you lot of luck trying to recover your files. I once tried something like that, but came unsuccessful. There were some media I wish I had saved, but it wasn't THAT important, so I just gave up.
Suggest to your friend, though, to get an account on Mega, Box.net or Dropbox. All of them has auto backup of camera media to the server. All of them has options to backup only on WiFi, and even when charging only. The first two has 50 Gb of free storage for life (Box, you just need to sign with your Xperia device), and the later only 2 Gb, but you can get more and more with promotions.
Alternatively, he can enable the Google+ Auto Backup. There is 15 Gb (shared with Gmail and Google Drive) for pictures on original resolution or unlimited on 2048px, compressed. On Google+, though, you have the Auto Awesome, which make some awesome images.
Hope it helped. If I can help any further, just tag me

As I'm a lazy person, who can't find a way to break quotes into multiple parts (serious, how do you Do that, without having to write the quote code every time? It is not much, but I'm really lazy, so yeah.
Yep, that's the app. There's no reason for Google to block root apps. It's a function of the OS itself, just hidden from users. It's one of the easiest things to do on a Nexus device, after all. It's hidden because, if used without caution, can soft brick your device. But, don't worry, that shouldn't do any harm. At it least it hasn't with my device until now haha
As I said, I had already lost lots of stuff, and I didn't bothered much to go any further to recover it. It was a simply Install Recuva, run on the SD card and see if I could restore anything. Nothing? OK, no worries. As you already mentioned in your first post, avoid at all costs writing new files to the SD Card partition.
About the lecture, yeah, I imagined you had already told them, but it doesn't hurt to tell anyway.
About the SD Card on the Xperia S, another technical info you might or might not know, and also doesn't hurt to tell. Until Android 2.3, devices with a big internal storage required a partition for cache, one for data (apps and their own data), one for system, and one SD Card. The last one in Fat32 (plus others, but those are just too small and insignificant, for most, anyway) Think of a normal hard drive with plenty of partitions. Since Xperia S was developed (and launched) with 2.3 (one of Sony's biggest mistakes with this phone), it had to follow those "guidelines".
With Android 4.0 and beyond, the above mentioned data and SD Card turned into one partition, in Ext4 format. That data partition stores both apps and their data, and also other types of media, like media, documents, and etc. That storage goes into a mounted folder.
Anyway, again, wish you good luck. If they aren't very close friends/relatives, you should charge some money for all the hassle if you recover haha

Not in Xperia S case. As I said, it is on Fat32, so it is easily mount-able on Windows.
On any phone with Android 4.0 or more, you'd need a Linux to do the recovery. You can't format it, or else you will turn the device into a really expensive paperweight.

[Q] Files protected despite root&SDFix working?

Hi everybody,
I have rooted my M8 Dual Sim and according to SDFix disabled the limitations to use the SD card in my phone freely. Almost. Moving files around within ES File Explorer is no problem, neither copying files from PC to the card.
BUT: when I open a file on either the phone's memory or the card from the PC, the files open all write protected.
This is what drives me mad, I would like to open the files, write into them, and save them like in a normal environment. Does anybody know how to disable this write protection? Please help. Thank you.

Its been reported by users here that the SD fix apps don't work on the "regular" (single SIM) M8, so I assume the same is also true with the dual SIM. There is a custom kernel module that fixes the SD limitations, but again not sure if it works on the dual SIM, or if there is a corresponding mod/hack.

SDFix has been used only to check whether I gained access to my SD card. And, according to the possibility to move files freely, i gained full access. Only that my files opened from he PC are all write protected.
I can copy&move files from internal storage to SD card and viceversa, and I can copy and move file from PC to SD card and vicecersa. But the files located on SD card, when opened from the PC are always opened in write protected mode. WHY???

Almost seems like a permissions issue but I'm not sure if the device would automatically apply permissions that will have you only "read, write and execute" those files on the device itself and not on the PC. That's probably something that you'll have to "set" yourself.
All the files that I create, pictures that get taken etc all have it as "read and write" which is why we can view it on the pc, but in your case it almost seems like it saves it as "read-only" preventing you from making any other changes. BUT that's how it looks and it might not necessarily be the issue at hand

Change permissions?

That makes sense, thanks BerndM. Any hint on how to chance permissions easily, without having to flash custom ROM?
To be more exact, I am talking only about doc(x), xls(x), txt files, nothing executable.
Truth is, only the windows explorer can handle the files, opening a word file and trying to save it directly from the program to the SD card isn't possible. But I guess you knew that already... I don't recall how it was with my last HTC (the HD2), but at least I could save an opened file in its original storage.

If you have a USB card reader, try to connect to your PC and format the card. I'd suggest FAT32 as its the most universal; although ExFAT should be supported by the M8 (but only really needed if you have huge files).
I've seen a number of folks on here have various read/write issues with the SD, even when the card works perfectly on other devices. The permissions issue is a logical conclusion, but might just be a wild goose chase. Reformatting the card sometimes solves the issue. Even using the phone to format the card doesn't solve the issue, when formatting on PC works.

Actually, I'm mixing this up, the kernel module is to disable system write protection, not SD write protection. I'm having a brain fart on how to do the SD fix.
But as mentioned, this might not be the OP's issue anyway. At least, I don't think so based on the described symptoms.

Hi there, @redpoint73 if you could provide some guidance as how to get a hold of that insecure kernel, I'd certainly be grateful. A link would be a boon.
I'm trying, with no avail, to edit hostapd.conf (my hotspot configuration file). There are a few options on it that I can't switch on a GUI, like SSID Broadcast and 802.11n toggles. Also, my hotspot has a difficult time upholding the wakelock it needs to stay on without a data interruption at screen off. I don't know if Amplify (by Ryan Steckler aka "cryptyk") might be to blame, because I haven't told it (and isn't) restricting Wi-Fi related wakelocks at all.
Please check my signature below for any details you'd like to ponder. Good night.

Accelerometer is a sensor that defines a devices's position, so it gives you ability to use such functions as screen auto-rotation. And the bug is that sometimes this sensor stops working until the next reboot.

1-After format the SD with cm13, then how to back to normal SD?
2-Is right that if we use sd like part of system we can't use real system memory?
3-After formatting SD (with cm13) for using it like part of system, if we try to put it in PC and then back in the phone, it's real that the SD automatically delete all file inside it because was encrypted?
4-Can we store file like music, photo, video... on SD or it's only for app?
5-If for example i break my phone and put SD in an other phone what happen?
I know that are a lot of question but i hope someone can answer

1. Settings > Storage & USB > sdcard > menu > Format as portable
2. No, sdcard space magically adds to real internal
3. Of course no.
4. From phone: yes, photos goes there
From PC: unknown, because MTP broken now. But probably yes.
5. Data will be unaccessable because partition encrypted.
And formatted in unusual way - Windows anyway can't deal with it.
Card supposed to work only with ROM where was adopted (key stored)
UPD: it somehow works in other phone
You can format back it into FAT32 via Explorer or some partition manager.
Also seems this feature still semi-broken: large games won't install.
Maybe PecanCM can fix it.

Are you serious? I even successfully tried creating folder via it. Did you switched from Charge only mode to MTP? 'Cause in charge-only mode MTP device is recognized, but it is empty, without available storages. Or maybe for you it doesn't work because of Windows crappiness, lol. Linux is more friendly with Linux.

Yes, I selected MTP and use Windows.
Just empty window.
@FindYanot somehow managed it to work on Win 10 after enabing / disabling USB debugging.
Anyway good, that MTP not completly broken.

There are often problems with Android on Windows that are absent on Linux. I had irritating issues with UMS mode in TWRP when I was using Windows (more strange is that it worked earlier and then suddenly my PC went insane when connecting USB in TWRP with storage mode enabled), but on Linux it works like a charm. And it is not the only example of problems in Android-Windows "relationship".

Guys I flashed the rom and it booted as usual and i went to next page of the setup guide i.e. add wifi in that i tried connecting to my wifi but while entering the password it shows unfortunately, aosp keyboard has stopped after i removed my wifi password and connected then it goes again to the first page of selecting country and i repeatedly pressed the yellow icon to proceed to the next page but its stucked on that page plz help me guys and do i need to do anything else?

Oh, there are a bunch! Wondering how it'll fare with the Android File Transfer on Mac. �� At least, ADB works, right? I need to update a few of my apps to support Marshmallow since they removed the Apache HTTP client (Google, must you really make things difficult? I spent an hour yesterday writing 75 lines of code just to add dividers between RecyclerView items... SMH). I'll most probably be shifting back to Lollipop AOSP by tonight. Anyway, if MTP works, I'll update you guys...
EDIT: So, no. Unfortunately, doesn't work on OS X as well. I didn't really expect it to, but then I was hoping that since it was UNIX, it would.
EDIT 2: So, it works with OS X as well! I hadn't selected the USB to transfer files previously.
