yes it's rooted,i have root explorer and accessed that place allready ... that database had removed already ... i start with label "Factory reset/FullWipe"
If there's nothing there then there's nothing left, do you not have any old nandroids? Titanium backups? Anything?
If you do then restore it and sync your contacts to Google

I think that you lost it. Sorry
Have you tried Amacsoft Android SMS + Contacts Recovery, I think it would help, we can use it to recover lost contacts and messages easily with it, try it yourself!
That's why gmail is entered in your phone for market etc..In future sync your contacts with gmail!

I tried this, but it doesn't connect neither to my HOX, nor to my Nexus 7 (2013).
Both devices have USB debugging on. HOX runs 4.4.4, and Nexus 5.0.2.
I think you may need a third-party software and you shouldn't use your phone after the factory reset, because new data will overwrite your previous data. My friend recommends is Mobiledic Android Phone Recovery. You can have a try . It can recover data for accidental deletion, factory reset or whatever reasons. Here is also an article may help you recover your data after factory reset.

As with all programs such as the toolkit and playing with system files Mike the developer of the program recommends a full backup before you start playing - just in case. (So do I, always) That way you don't lose your setup that you have worked on so hard...
The camera mods do not wipe or affect the phone in any way, at least not when I applied them, but things can go wrong, so that's why you back up

Nandroid backup is included in the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit so use that. Everything is backed up by that - you can even get really clever and extract sms mms etc. from the nandroid (for example here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370349) if that is what you mean by messages. Surely your emails will be on your email server, contacts in your google account as extra backup even though the nandroid will contain them? Unless you do something really radical, like fully wipe the SOC, partition etc doesn't enter into it...

No on every app
something like this I knew from my good old I9300. Might be a supersu thing. Although I read somewhere, twrp for the M9 seems not to write to system partition.
As I got my M9 yesterday, I'm still staying away from debranding and unlocking stuff atm.

Rooted. There are limitations. \system is not writeable, as was initially on the M8 until insecure kernels were released here. Titanium Backup can't write to removable sdcard yet. I still have a hornet's nest of diagnostic software running and I have to give it a wide berth because logging is required on test devices.
Wonder if anyone there will notice what I've done after the overnight logs......

TWRP can mount the system partition; I got myself into plenty of trouble yesterday as a result and had to do a factory reset. The good news, however, was that doing so wiped internal memory and its infernal encryption. (I had encrypted the internal sdcard at the request of HTC during the testing process). Apparently, you can encrypt and unencrypt the removable media willy nilly (although you'll get a layered effect where files stored during encryption can't be read unless the card is encrypted or re-encrypted), but you cannot unencrypt the internal sdcard without a factory reset. I have politely suggested that they make that fact abundantly clear in the user i/o for encryption, 'cause it isn't now.
I'm on stock recovery for now, but I'll probably return to TWRP shortly so I can do nandroids.
The \system partition, however is still unwriteable from within the ROM. I few folks I know are working on a workaround, but I haven't seen anything definitive yet.
Keep in mind, also, that this is a test device and there are certain "gotcha's" such as another copy of supersu somewhere in the system to run all the diagnostic software --- the result is that a \data only nandroid would require 23gigs at this point. Not gonna do it, wouldn't be prudent.
Hanging here too and also won't freeze apps.
I know SuperSU is there and working correctly because I have successfully modified files on the system partition
- permissions\platform.xml
- that damn boot up sound
Stay gone after reboot too, stock boot.img as well.
Same issue here ... Unlocked Bootloader, root access and TTB hangs at 0% no matter how long you wait.
But I helped myself with a little work around:
Go to TTB Settings; on the very bottom theres a setting if problems during restore occure. Change it to the classic install method. You have to validate every single app install, but hey ... As long there's no other way, fine with me

Hello,
I am wondering if anyone is able to restore Viber properly. I am having some strange results when I restore it. I am able to restore it using the old method mentioned here, and the app is restored with data. The problem comes when I open the app once. As soon as I open it it shows all my messages for a second then kind of resets itself, and asks for a verification code again. I have no other option then entering the code (the program acts like a fresh install). After that all my messages are gone (though the call log and contacts are still there). Feel like I have to relearn all over again. Any help is appreciated.
I have tried multiple things:
1. Restore using old method mentioned here
2. Installed from Play store, then restored only data
3. Tried making a update.zip and restoring from recovery
4. Tried to just restore about 5 times in a row ( don't think this really didn't anything, once should be enough to put the data there)
Thanks,
Rsotbiemrptson
Chiming in. Same issue. Unlocked, rooted, TiBu & key installed, hangs on any restore. I tried auto/indirect and that didn't help. "classic mode" worked, although in some cases I still had to do a data restore after doing an app+data restore for some apps.
same thing. unlocked, rooted ti pro installed hangs on any restore. will restore data if i install the app then restore data (some apps I have older apps + data & cant do this tho).
auto / indirect but no dice.
I can't get TB to backup to my SD card. It keeps saying it can't write to it. Anyone know what the issue is?
I believe I fixed the hang issue and will contact the Dev to build it in. I'll provide a zip soon and instructions.

I need the main.db file from the Skype app installed on my HTC One X. The phone is not rooted, and I read that installing a bootloader wipes the phone. Is it at all possible to get ahold of the file in any way? Is it possible to use a recovery tool to view the deleted files after unlocking the bootloader? Would it be possible to buy another HTC phone, bootload that, do a system transfer from the locked phone to the new and be able to access the files then? What about doing a system back-up to the pc? (since HTC writes that it will include free apps in the back-up?).
Thanks for the help!

nope there never was a root exploit for locked bootloader.
However there is this app. Helium:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup
It says it can backup apps with data without the need for root. However this app relies on the fact that the app developer must have the backup flag set to allow. Developers who sell for example a banking app always denies this flag. This is to make it unable to a hacker to just transfer the app and data to another phone and hijack your banking account. Its a free choice to set this flag so its very much a guess if a particular app will be able to backup or not.
Try Helium, backup skype and restore it on some other phone you have and see if the data survives. Or boot a virtual machine with android if you don't have any other android phone.
I've never used the Helium app. I've always stuck with "mybackup pro" since it was first released or titanium. But these apps requires root.
Its been so many years I don't remember how stock rom looks like. But I know there is a backup function that backup apps and etc.
Read this manual: (go to page 104)
http://dl4.htc.com/web_materials/Manual/HTC_One_X/HTC_OneX_plus_User_Guide_MR.pdf
I'm not sure if this backup the app data..? I would not rely on this solution.
Thank you I'll try Helium and cross my fingers, then the HTC back-up if that fails. The back-up says it also transfers program data of free apps, so maybe I'll be lucky. I've seen a thread somewhere on restoring files post-bootloader installation - that'll be my last option if all else fails.

Yes I forgot to mention that part. You could use the built in backup tool in stock rom. Once its finished. Unlock the bootloader and then try and restore your data once the phone is back up again and running.
Of course make sure that the backup you made earlier is secure before unlocking the bootloader.
Perhaps it will work I dunno. But at least its worth a try.

How to recover data after factory reset ?
I have recently done a factory reset on vivo v15. It contained so many important gallery photos on it. Can anyone recommend me a way to restore data on vivo v15 ? I have tried so many tools but none of them worked for me. Please help me thank...

If you can't find them in your trash bin, the only way is using pro data recovery software. But before that, you need to make sure they are not overwritten by new data.

Are you familiar with what software people are using for android? Looking to recover just permanently deleted photos.
Hi, I don't know if it's the right place to ask for help, but I'll still try.
A couple of days ago while travelling I updated my OnePlus 9 Pro with the latest update of Android 12 not knowing that update was apparently quite buggy as I found out later. Previously all updates have always run smoothly on my phones, so I wasn't really cautious about it. As a result after update phone didn't work anymore, it started always to vibrate after giving sim card PIN kinda trying to start (similar to the sound of whirring hard drive), but it couldn't go beyond the home screen's wallpaper. As I needed my phone, I had to choose "Format user data" under Wipe data from the boot menu as there weren't any other options under Wipe. I got a working phone after that, but I lost all my data.
So the question is: is there a way to restore videos and photos from the gallery (my photos weren't synchronizing to Google Photos) after this formatting? And more precisely, eg. by using DroidKit Data recovery tool I can perform only quick recovery unrooted, which doesn't find any files from the gallery. There is an option to perform a deep recovery, but for that I need to root my phone. Rooting apparently requires bootloader unlocking, which most likely wipes all phone data anyway without possibility to restore.
And more questions: would a deep recovery even find those gallery files, if the phone would be rooted? If bootloader unlocking wipes all data completely, so it wouldn't be possible to restore any data after that for sure? Is there an option to perform a deep scan without a phone being rooted? Is there an option to root without bootloader unlocking? There are some apps, which don't really do automatic rooting, and they aren't trustworthy, despite they say that they can root phones in seconds.
I definitely have learned from this recent experience, and I will do better in the future.
I think most likely it's not possible to restore my photos and videos I lost in this case, but I just had to ask to make sure, there are no more tricks I can use... Any thoughts? Thanks!
I would think there would be an app in the app store that would recover your photos and videos without root since they are to located in the root drive. It may take a few tries to find the right app. Good luck. That is why I routinely backup everything on my internal storage to the PC just for this reason.
Your storage is encrypted. There is no way to recover the files as the factory reset generated new keys when wiping the storage. Sorry for the bad news. Make sure to make backups before taking updates in the future is all anyone can suggest.

I've tried many of those before, but they don't see gallery photos nor videos at all after phone factory reset, though they claim they can do that. What these apps can see and recover in my experience are call history, documents, audio files, sms (all of these things were recovered anyway from the phone backup), photos and videos from Whatsapp (which I don't need as its' chats were backed up before that update). Some of them offer a deep recovery (don't know what a deep scan would find in the end), which requires phone to be rooted, and that requires bootloader unlocking, which will wipe storage for good anyway, so basically all those apps are useless.
