Hi
I am running omega v15 with teamwin and i went and stupidly wiped internal storage!! so now all my photos are gone!
Is there anyway to recover that partition? anyway to recover the data that I wiped?
Super super mad with myself!
if there is anyway you can make your internal memory appear as a storage device, besides MTP, on your computer you maybe able to recover using recovery software for Windows. Also, try disk digger, it's not guaranteed but worth a try.

its crazy!!
Why is it possible to recover from SD Card but not internal storage?
1. Boot into recovery
2. Mount as USB storage
3. Use drive recovery software like Recuva
4. ???
5. Profit
Nah stupid is not keeping a backup of your photos.

Hello,
I recently flashed to CM. I then wanted to flash to stock so that I could update the PRL. When I did I accidentally wiped the Internal flash memory. I had a bunch of pictures and video that I'd like to recover if possible. I've found that all the disk/photo recovery software requires USB Mass Storage so that the card is recognized. I am unable to get USB Mass Storage on my Galaxy S3 and SGS3 UMS App seems to only work for External SD Cards.
I was unable to find a way to use adb to mount the drive, but if there is I'd appreciate the help.
Is there a way to mount the internal flash memory so that it is recognized as a hard drive that can be scanned by the data recovery software?
Phone: Sprint Galaxy S3 16gb
Recovery - TWRP 2.3.0.0
ROM - CM10
Thanks
Samah
I do not think you are going to be able to mount the internal storage (which appears as the internal sdcard) as Mass Storage that is going to allow you to run a normal recovery program. There are android apps (such as Undelete For Root) that would do what you want from the phone but as far as I know they only support FAT partitions. The internal sdcard of your phone is not FAT (I believe it is ext4) even though it looks as if it is. It still may be worth trying Undelete For Root... nothing to lose!
You may be out of luck, but keep looking.
Hexamob Recovery has support for ext4. I have never used but it may be your only chance. I be curious to see if it works.
It does look like Hexamob may work (according to the claims). There is a Hexamob Recovery Lite that is a free app and also a Pro version that is pay.
Hexamob Pro worked
I've now tried both suggestions.
The Undelete for Root didn't work as it does not recognize exFat.
Hexamob Lite was unable to find anything to recover, but the Pro version worked. It seems to be able to recover a set number of files each time it's run. After running it a few times, I was able to recover a good number of the pictures.
Thank you.
I am happy that Hexamob Recovery worked for you, I cant stand losing pictures.
Me either. I downloaded at least 6 different disc/photo recovery softwares to get my photos back.
Can someone tell me how to change the subject of this thread to [Solved]? I think that's what I'm supposed to do.
So after numerous times of flashing the 27. img it finally took. phone is rooted and Multi view is working perfect..

what is the process for formating an internal drive that says i have 225 apps stored on it. Actually its only about 60, which means some how the internal was partitioned when the new load was being installed.. is there something i can do to have access of whole drive save stock apps and rom.. let me know please.. I cant install the modem until i create space on the internal drive.. thanks again
You can flash from external as well. For formatting go to menu> settings> storage. You should find it there. Formatting will wipe everything off of your internal sd.

So im a rogers S3 user. I have a Sd card and internal storage of 16 gigs. currently I am running cyanogenmod...and for some reason I cannot view all the files of my internal storage. I keep moving pictures over to my SD card but not all pictures go nor do they even come off as what is being used in the internal storage. currently under miscellaneous there are 10 gigs of memory being used on what i do not know. any recommendations on how to lower this..should i just delete the entire miscellaneous and start new? its really confusing as I looked into my SD card and I had moved everything but i am not sure why the SD card is not showing all my pictures yet on my phone the pictures are somewhere yet i cannot see all of them from the internal storage either..any ideas?!
Well you can always transfer your stuff to a PC then go into recovery and make a nandroid. Then completely wipe everything, then restore your system

The thing is it looks like everything I save to sd is going to internal
Well just transfer everything you want from there onto your PC and wipe it all including your sd card if you have one. That's just what I would do I've never cared to mess around. I'll just wipe all then go from there, doesn't take long

So I would just wipe all using cwm?

I used factory reset in TWRP before flashing to new rom (paranoid android) and now I don't see my pictures from my internal SD card O_O.
When I connect my phone to my desktop it shows about 8gb of data used on my internal card though. Any solutions on how I can get my pictures back?
They're not missing. All your data is in media/0 or something like that. I don't run v4.2 ROMs but all your stuff is moved for the multi user stuff

Use root explorer/browser and they will be in data/media

Yall are life savers. I kept looking in the famed "0" folder for my stuff.
Found the files, and now have them copied onto my computer. Thanks to everyone.
So, my latest adventure into rooting/flashing.
Wasn't happy with the stock 4.3 update, so decided to go back to CM (CM11 this time).
Everything went well. Root, CWM6, CM11, et viola.
However.
CM11 stopped recognizing my 64gb micro SD card. I've had this happen before so I was poking around in CWM trying to figure out how I fixed it last time.
I mistakenly told CWM to create a 4gb partition. That was stupid, because CWM couldn't even mount my external SD at the time. Complete oversight on my behalf. Anyway, it said it "succeeded" but I still couldn't see my external SD in any way. Long story short, I figured out the ext sd card and reformatted to fat32, making it totally visible in CM11 and CWM.
However, once looking at storage in Settings, I noticed my internal storage was smaller; about 11gb. It would appear I DID create a 4gb partition from CWM, but on the internal memory. The big kicker is that I can't find that partition anywhere! The phone works fine, but I'm missing precious internal space. I can't see the partition from CWM or any partition managers I download in the app store. Also can't see it if I plug the phone into my PC (win7).
I have some big MC2 reset tool I use whenever I want to go back to stock. I can never make up my mind between stock and custom, so I sometimes go back and forth. It's like a 1gb single flash that I install from recovery: it resets my flash counter and goes back to full unrooted stock. Would this fix my issue, causing me to have to re-root et al to get back to CM11? Or, would the fact that my internal memory is no longer the stock size/partition table cause a brick situation if I try to go back to stock?
Your internal storage is fine. You did not create any partition. Your phone has 16 gigs but you only get access to approximately 11 since your phone uses the rest for system, modem, etc..

Curious, since before I did this, I could see 16gb total storage in CWM (of course, with various parts of it being utilized for OS, apps, misc, etc). Also, I pull up my wife's stock GS3 and it also sees a total of 16gb available storage. Does stock ROM view internal storage completely differently? Does CM11 view it differently than other ROMs? If so, you'd think it'd be something widely known, or at least mentioned in the android community.
Edit:
Also, before this I could connect phone to PC, and PC would see 16gb total storage for phone. Now, it only sees 11.0 exactly. Awfully huge coincidence that there's now a difference in visible storage space that's close to the same size as the supposed partition CWM said it created for me.
Not sure about cwm display but here is a screen of my storage in slimkat. Has looked like this since day one before root and custom rom

Fascinating. It would appear CM and stock definitely show the available storage space differently. I'm officially ready for bed!
