You could try doing a bit of research on what apps are best for recovering data, I know there are some decent apps out there that do a good job as long as u have written over those files .
If you have troubles finding one that works i might be able to do some research for you. But i would personally try youtube to find reviews on decent recovery apps. GOODLUCK
You could try this link , i havent tested the app myself but i think if you are chasing photos it might work http://hexamob.com/rooting.html

Did you have any luck in finding a program to restore your deleted files, I am in the same boat and need to recover some accidentally deleted files.

Try this

if you deleted them then recover them straight away then you'll 100% get them back, but if you've been using your phone alot and over writing those deleted files... then your chance of getting all of them back will be slimmer.
Try to recover your files, you'll need to be in debug mode then mount as USB, that you can recover them as external disk.
Why did you necrobump this thread??

You can recover deleted files from galaxy nexus with data recovery software, see this guide that helped me before: android phone data recovery
hope this helps.

Hi all,
I've had my Nexus since the first batch with the volume fix came out at Expansys. and i couldnt be any happier about a phone.
Rooted and installed Roms and everything was buttery smooth. UNTIL.
One day i hooked up the phone to my Windows 7-64bit machine and all i can see in the explorer were the default folders that came with the phone first day i hooked it up.
I mean everything is there i can see everything in ES File Explorer, tried it also in my other XP system, same dilemma.
I know nothing is wrong with the drivers on both computers since am not new to this rooting, ADB and all. This is my first internal storage phone other than an iphone.
and nothing is wrong with the ROM since i wiped data/factory reset in CWR and reflashed MCR ir10. Everything is 100% except this annoyance.
I cant even backup everything since i cant drag and drop the needed files. So formating everything WILL NOT be an option.
Please if someone can tell me what am missing, i would be very grateful. PLEASE HELP. Thanks all in advance.
Well technically gnexus uses a protocol called MTP for file transfer which has a cache that updates periodically. It should reindex after a reboot. You can try wiping cache in cwm and using SDrescan from market to force a reindex.
Since I use the Galaxy Nexus, I have never transferred any files using pc.
I always transfer wirelessly via wifi using es explorer, or dropbox.
It works pretty well and fast.

I tried SDRescaan and it just keeps updating and im familiar with the MTProtocol, and as i said in OP i wiped everything except the data/media, didnt get fixed also, reflashed ROM still nothing. is there any other way to wipe the MTP cache??

If you wiped data/cache in recovery then there the mtp cache was wiped. Did you try a different PC?
Do you have debugging turned on? I had the same issue and turning on debugging seemed to help me.

I have the same issue of it not showing all the files in sdcard when connected. I am on a stock ROM. There was no way I was gonna try to transfer the files over wifi so I ended up using adb to copy the files. It's not ideal but it gets the job done.
I will also add my 2 cents,
I have the same problem on ALL of bigixe roms from 4 - on...
I have given up trying...
You mean just adb pull the whole mnt/sdcard?? or is there another way to do it??
Hate to be the guy that points out the obvious, but if you go to Settings/Storage/Menu/ is Media checked?
Good luck

It depends what you want to do. You can pull a whole folder or specific file. I would not pull the whole mnt/sdcard if that's not what I wanted. I don't see any reason you would do that except if you wanted a backup of your whole sdcard folder.

MTP wouldn't work if it wasn't selected there in the first place... The problem is that it's not indexing new files/folders for some reason even if you try to force it to re-index.

Thats the point am trying to pull the whole sdcard, then i can reformat the whole thing. One thing i noticed after all this happened the benchmarks for disk I/O have been horrendous.
If someone tried to wipe the /sdcard/ will the rom itself get erased???
Same missing folders here. Try to rescan media with SDrescan and get FC of android.process.media.
What is this android.process.media I think its the culprit. Get FC even after restart. Don't know what's wrong? Can someone from the Devs help us pls

No it won't get erased. /sdcard is just a symlink to the /data/media folder...

Delete all the contents in /sdcard/
That's all you need to do

Try SD Maid from market to clean out useless stuffs. Android really needs to control application files on the sdcard. This is like windows

Try deleting backups. Keep 1 or 2 and delete the rest.

Use some common sense when deleting, like the clockworkmod folder is backups, TitaniumBackup folder is titanium backup files, and etc. ROMs are not installed on the sdcard orbviously.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
Biggest memory hog is backups. Like cwm or titanium

Hi Folks,
Can someone post screenshot or list of files that he has at factory folder, i have a problem with generic IMEI and my factory folder was totaly empty. I want to know what files has to be at factory folder?
Best Regards,
Is this what you needed?
Edit: running 4.2 from Google, I don't know if that makes a difference

Wow so many things. Is someone know where i can get all this files. Yesterday I've found that I don't have any files at that folder and I ve restore only nv data
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Aren't they supposed to be included with the ROM? I mean I have no idea honestly. I was running CM10 before, and flashed back to 4.1.2 stock and then applied the update.zip for 4.2 update. So essentially everything was wiped prior to where I am now.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Those files are device-specific and should not be copied from another device.
Very strange this happened to you, though. The factory files should not normally be affected by ROM flashing.
Yes I know but I don't know what is going on. Every time I've flash stock image from Google page through fast boot but..
Actually after restore of my generic IMEI I have problem only with Mac address of the Bluetooth which is some thing like 43:00:00:00. But everting else works fine without this files at factory folder. Is anyone knows how to restore them?

Hi i bought another phone for my wife and copied these files from her phone through root explorer, all files and folders except nv data files. After tha i've correct all permisssions to be the same like original and also at the bluetooth file i`ve enter original mac but it works with anyone. if i can help with something except nv files you can write me..
I deleted some videos of my gf's graduation by mistake. The videos were deleted due to viber app bug. (when i shared the video through viber and tried to send it to one of the contact, the app crashed and the video was gone). It was my new nexus and is not rooted. Is there any way i can access those files again. I did some research and found out that it may be possible after enabling mass storage modeand then using some softwares. But my device is not rooted and i am not sure if it helps, if i root it and then try recovering files.
Please help
Considering the internal SD EMMC is pretty much flash memory, your best bet would probably be some software on the computer to recover them. I've never come across a way to do it from the device itself.

My concern is if i root it, doesn't it wipe everything on my device making chances of recovery very slim?
Is it still possible to recover the deleted files, even if i root it?
