Hi,
Im trying to mount my Lumia 800 in Ubuntu, the device is automatically accessible but I would like to run some recovery software against it? but for example testdisk does not see the device... could I recover deleted photos somehow from the device?
Thanks
good luck with that, the wp7 data is behind 7 proxies...
Now, seriously what did you expect? the device use a proprietary format on the sd card, which is NOT documented: TFAT or Transactional FAT and the device is hardwired to behave like a media device and not like a storage device...
(no offense) Did you researched the topic before doing this question?
It is well known that MS developed this phone so tight that you can't recover anything if the phone is hard reset or remotely wiped or even connected to use recovery tools because is not a storage device.
My only advice? be careful with your data and what you really want to delete, use a Windows 7 computer to take all your information out of the phone when needed or if you "haet" windows so much(kidding ) you can use skydrive...

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.

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.

[Any way to save data on a Nexus in a bootloop?]: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448633
So, I bought my wife a new Nexus 7 (2013) as a wedding gift last month and she loved it. However, a couple days ago she installed an update and got the 'hanging at x' issue. After trying to fix it without a full wipe, I was forced to wipe it. Unfortunately, she took a lot of photos of our honeymoon on the Nexus 7's camera. I am trying to recovery those files and have tried Recuva and Odboso FileRetrieval, but neither one seems to recognize or read the Nexus 7 when plugged into my laptop and thus cannot even attempt to recover any files. Does anyone have any tips on how I can get one of these types of programs to recognize the Nexus 7 when it is plugged in so I can see if any file recovery is possible? Thanks in advance.
If the files are still on the device: have you tried installing a file manager (like "AntTek Explorer" or "Astro FileManager" or something like this)? If not, try to connect the Nexus to your computer, it should show up as an mass-storage device - from that you could take a raw snapshot and give some file recovery tools a try.
Your data is most likely gone.
An ext4 partition is used for '/data' that also includes a '/data/media' folder that is mounted as a virtual '/sdcard'. So you need a recovery tool that understands the ext4 file system. Even if you find a tool to recover files from ext4, Android 4.3 uses trim and if a trim cycle did run in the meantime (runs every 24h if there is idle time + enough battery), your data can't be recovered anymore.
Even after you've accidentally deleted and/or formatted the partition, the data is still on your device. There are apps in the Playstore that claim to do the same thing as similar PC software does as long as you have not overwritten the data.
Hello everyone! I have spent the better part of 2 days trying to recover deleted pictures from my wife's phone. I've googled just about everything I can think of and here's where I'm at- I have installed a recovery software and I have edited my pc's registry so the phone shows up in "my computer". Here's where I run into trouble. In My Computer, the phone shows up as a Portable Device and I am able to open it and browse thru it. Buuuuut, when I run my recovery software, the phone doesn't appear anywhere; only my computer's drives. Is there something else I'm missing?
Is the phone completely dead? If not then you could connect to zune on a pc and transfer photos to hard drive, If it is dead then I really don't know a solution sorry

No, not dead. Phone is working and connects to Zune fine.. The problem is, my wife deleted some of her pictures from the phone and now I'm trying to recover them. I've run into a bit of a roadblock.
You can recover lost files from Nokia Lumia 900 Windows phone with data recovery software, see this Lumia phone recovery guide. It is able to undelete data from any Windows phone.
Were removed family photos on the tablet ASUS VIVOtab RT (windows 8 rt). History files has been disabled. ONE DRIVE is not working. What should I do?
Were they on internal storage or on a SD card?
Are you running RT 8.0 or 8.1?
EDIT: Fair warning: you probably can't, unless something like OneDrive was backing them up somewhere. RT can't run file recovery software much better than an iPad could.
Were they on internal storage or on a SD card?
Lost files were on the internal storage.
Are you running RT 8.0 or 8.1?
I use RT 8.0.
As the X86 emulator, you can run the program to restore the photos? Installation program X86 is successful, but when I run an error peloader(
Yeah, the x86 emulator probably doesn't support the APIs required for such programs; they're pretty obscure and surely weren't the dev's first priority. I really, really wish that tool's source code would be released so people could continue working on it...
Since you're on 8.0 (and already jailbroken, even) the question becomes "what open-source undelete utilities for Windows are available?" Typing "open source file undelete" into Bing gives http://kickassundelete.sourceforge.net/ as the first hit. What's more, it's entirely written in C#, as far as I can tell, even supports Mono. It might not even need to be recompiled and should be trivial to recompile if needed.
Obligatory reminder: Don't use the tablet (any more than absolutely necessary) until you have a chance to run the undelete tool. There's a pretty fair chance of the data getting overwritten, or even just getting TRIMmed out of the SSD, if you do so.
After the program kichkassundelete warning popup window appears. Even as an administrator program does not see the internal and external storage. What should I do in this case? How to get full access to the device with windows RT?

On my Surface RT, this program also cannot detect the internal C: drive. However it can detect and scan USB drives (fat32 & ntfs) if it's run as Administrator (it prompts for this during load). So the program does seem to work to some extent. I have no idea why the C: drive is hidden/blocked.
May need to look for another program then, damn. Post-Vista, the system drive is *slightly* more protected against such access... but it's easy to work around if the developer knows what they're doing. Maybe KAUD only fully works on XP? I'm not sure; I haven't used it.
While updating to lollipop i accidentally relocked and unlocked the bootloader resulting in a full memory wipe but i had my college work on there so i really need to recover the data lost but upon connecting the phone to the pc it appears as "portable device" which is not detected by recovery tools as well as the android apps as the undeleter root couldn't recover the data i need so is there a way to
1- connect htc one m8 to the pc as usb storage (aka removable disk)
2- another way to recover files
Thanks in advance
The issue is that Android now mounts internal storage by MTP, as opposed to the old Mass USB storage format. So computer's can no longer read the memory like its a USB drive. I think at some point (probably not even for this phone) I saw a method to dump the files in order to perform a file recovery, but it was pretty complicated and looked like a PITA.
You can try some apps on the Play Store that claim to recover files (using the phone itself, not a computer). But I've never used any, can't vouch for them, and don't know if they really work. Also keep in mind, the more you use the phone, the higher the likelihood that the files you want will be overwritten by other data.
Good luck. But in the future you have to remember to backup important personal data before making any major changes or mods to the device. I never fail to be disappointed at how many folks never bother to backup their important data; than freak out about it once its lost. Most of the time, at that point its too late. You should have been backing it up all along. If its important to you, back it up.
Well sir thank ypu for your help i don't think ill be able not to use the phone all that long as well as im now facing that the wifi wont open which is really annoying
