[Q] HTC One X 4.0.4 - Deleted photos, how to recover ?

The phone is not unlocked, photos were in internal memory, I tried a few softwares inc. recuva, but all failed to see beyond the photos that are already there, no trace of the deleted ones, any help ???

http://www.leawo.com/knowledge/recover-deleted-photo-videos-from-htc-one-x.html Here , try this one . Looks promising :good:

In case you are using a Mac, there is an app called R-Studio that helped me recover some files from a corrupted sd card a while back. There are all kinds of software that do this job for Windows as well, just search around some forums to see which one actually helped people and give them a try - you will find a few free or open-source.

You can recover deleted photos from HTC One X phone, see this solution that helped me before: android phone photo recovery
hope that it helps you too.

Flash CWM, boot into CWM, mount usb storage then use Recuva to recover photos, tested...
If u see the photos corrupted in recuva it is impossible to get them back.
Hope That Helps

If you are rooted try diskdigger

It didn't erase the sdcard on the two phones I tried it, only /data. Although they do say you should be prepared to be left with nothing.
That being said, your best bet would be connecting it to a pc in usb mass storage mode, which is not available on the stock rom, and running some recovery software on it.

Mine was wiped 100%.......

Mine wasn't wiped 100%. Just /data was deleted for me.

Various issues after root

Hello all, concerned that I've messed up my phone after using the Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit 3.0.0] and using 2-2-2 for my N7100 (JRO03C.N7100XXALIJ) on Vodafone UK.
Upon reset from ODIN flash (whch showed pass) my phone no longer has IMEI number, ERI, etc. thus no longer able to make calls and the like. Storage on the device also looks totally b0rked; currently showing 359mb used by applications in storage options and 0.00B total space. Looking bad in Windows too;
So far I've tried a factory reset via *2767*3855#, which resulted in stock apps being installed but still the same storage problems and no IMEI, 2-6 stock flash in the Toolkit and a re-root via 2-2-2. I don't wish to do any more damage so leaving it there until someone can advise me on how to get my phone working again. At this stage I'm not caring if it's rooted or unrooted just no longer an expensive and small web browser.
If anyone can help it'd be most appreciated.

Efi? Not sure what you mean by that but no, I don't think so. I have the IMEI number and that's about it.
Just noticed that the thread title has gone AWOL too, not my day!

Anyone have any ideas? Really need to get it fixed. :crying:

So you don't have an efs backup.
Did you even read anything before rooting. It clearly says to make an efs backup.
From what you have written you don't have one and it's unique to your phone so nothing can be done about it.
Reset counter and flash stock rom.

Yes I did, the sticky thread said nothing about an efs backup before rooting? Neither did the video. Would it be possible to use the guide from here and root with stoxk rom at same time?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
The stock Vodafone uk rom from that thread appears to have a different build number, would that be ok? Maybe that was the problem in the first place?

Yes you can flash any rom from thread you mentioned, as well can follow same thread post#2 to root, if you had follow that, i have advised in red colour 'first thing to do after rooting is efs backup'
Alternatively look this too

Thanks for the replies, flashed stock rom and rooted staying well clear of the toolkit and everything went well. Should have done it manually in the first place haha.
Got a chance to make a EFS backup too. Happy days.

[Q] How can I wipe data on phone w/ unresponsive cracked screen?

My screen shattered when I dropped it... even though it has a case on :crying:
I was able to copy my data to the computer through the usb cable, but I want to wipe the data from the phone.
I am rooted and unlocked.
The only thing I can think of so far is to delete everything through windows explorer via usb connection.
Is there a better option?
On a side note, is there any way of recovering my texts?
Thanks.

Settings ---> Backup & Reset ---> Factory data reset
If you want to recover everything, make a TWRP backup and copy that backup to your computer. When you get your new phone, restore the backup you have saved. This will recover texts as well.

His touchscreen doesn't work. Or this would be the best suggestion.
OP: You will have to do it through USB and sadly no way to get texts.

Back up your phone useing adb
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

Sorry, I read the OP too quickly.
There is a way to still get texts
Use a program called (MyMobiler) which will give you remote access to your phone via your PC. With this application, download an application to backup your SMS and than store locally on your computer.
You can also do a app backup to restore your apps if you haven't done so.

Thanks for the replies. Not having much luck as of yet.
I don't seem to be able to get adb to work, so it seems like I don't have usb debugging enabled on the phone and it automatically goes to media sync. (Note to self - always have usb debugging enabled...)
If I erase everything I see in windows explorer, will that wipe my personal data? It doesn't seem like it would.
I have tried through recovery on the phone but TWRP requires touchscreen from what I can tell.
Also tried the MyMobiler program, but that seems to not see the phone either, I assume for the same reason ADB doesn't see it.
Is there any other way of just doing a factory reset with the physical buttons or something?
Thanks.

Is this a rooted and unlocked phone we are talking about? If so and you have cwm you can go to your recovery with your volume and power buttons and do a full wipe. Otherwise there's no other way to do a full system wipe without USB debugging on.

[Q] HUGE problem after Kies/JB 4.1 Update!

I will try to make this short and sweet...
"backed up" phone prior to letting Kies update my phone.
apparently everything but my photos/videos was backed up. (stupid me for not double checking that AND the version it was updating to)
updated phone. phone is pretty much useless now. (EVERY SINGLE APP freezes and crashes eventually)
wont connect VIA USB... knows it is connected and so does the computer. computer now refuses to install (it tries) anything involving MTP. all other drivers are installed. Kies can see the device.. tell me how many photos... but by the time I try to transfer anything Kies or the USB app on the phone freezes and crashes.
ive tried everything under the sun that is basic. uninstall drivers.. uninstall kies... reinstall things.. reboot. safe mode... USB debugging.. etc. NOTHING will get my computer to pull the files or the phone to stop crashing the programs.
I NEED to get these photographs from the phone.. there are at least 2k of them.
what are some options I have or things I could try?
and DO NOT say factory reset.. thats not an option until I get desperate.. do that and try some recovery software for photos.
thanks for any help. I have about a week or so to figure this out... so I can return this stupid galaxy express I had to buy just to have a functional phone.

Have you tried using a micro SD card and transfer your photos internally via a file manager app.

do you have a suggested app? and is this possible without going into the gallery cause that I cant even open... just freezes and fails

Why dont u just make a nandroid backup and wipe. Then flash the latest stock rom through odin. If that fixes the issue of freezing apps and your mtp problem you can restore the backup and should be straight.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Edit: also are you familiar with adb? You could boot to recovery and pull the photos with adb from there. And how much space is free on internal storage? The issues your experiencing sounds typical of full internal storage

Well to me it sounds like some issue was caused in the upgrade. Are you currently using a custom recovery? I ask because I have a feeling a factory reset will be your fix and with a custom recovery you could backup then wipe so you can troubleshoot w/o losing everything
And in the future once u fix this I recommend Dropbox which will automatically backup all those pictures so u dont have to worry about losing them again. Regardless of what you want to do to fix it we should be able to pull the pics even with mtp being borked

You could try rooting your phone and flashing a recovery. After that, go into the recovery and fix permissions. This won't delete anything and it's worth a shot.

no the phone has nothing special installed. looked into the custom recovery... and its not going to work (at least I dont think) cause I dont have a solid USB connection... as in it does "connect" per se. the phone knows its connected... the computer knows its connected but it doesnt show up as a drive like it used to.

In download mode, you shouldn't have problems like that.

Phone stuck in boot loop. Any help greatly appreciated

My sister asked me for help and has a galaxy nexus 4 g. She really only cares about recovering photos ( she never backed up ) from her phone and not so much bringing it back to life. The phone will not boot anymore. It is stock, unrooted and still locked. I can still get into stock recovery and phone still charges. When I plug into pc it won't recognize the device and I'm sure she never turned on usb debugging. If I factory reset it will wipe my sister's photos. I am asking for guidance or basic plan on how to extract her photos or get the phone to boot up normally without wiping. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well it sound like a Soft-brick. I don't think that there are any other options to recover from this kind of problem without wiping everything off, at least none that I know of. Wait for few more replies or go to a GSM service and maybe they can help you. If not, just get the Nexus Factory Images and try to flash them. If the photos are located on the "SD card" partition, a wipe of the data won't delete them, as wiping data from recovery has nothing to do with the "SD". Another thing you can try is to wipe cache. If none of the methods from above work I am sorry but you will have to get rid of the photos.
PS: Tell your sister to use Google Photos, as every photo is backed up in their servers and she won't lose them
Hope I helped

Thanks for the response. After spending a few hours trying to figure it out for her ( My sister is not to tech savvy ) she logged into her new phone good news all of her pictures showed up which means she backed them up without knowing it.
