I accidentally deleted the emulated folder when I was trying to clean up my internal memory. All my important files are gone! Is there any way to get them back?!?!? Please tell me there is a way. Any feedback would be appreciated.

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

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

Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705
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.
].I'm sorry if any of these are dumb question but I'm kinda new to this but if you could please help me it would be greatly appreciated.. so I have wicked rom downloaded to my phone and I believe it is dl to the internal sd. So when I do the wiping that is required to do before flashing... the rom will still be on the internal sd after wipe correct? Also I have the t999 sgs3 but it is unlocked for att. It will still be unlocked right? And when I flash the rom I still put T-Mobile in the set up? Also one more thing how do I know if my phone is ics. Or jb cause I have the v8 jb downloaded I'm sry for all the question I just wanna be 100% before I do this
I'll try to answer a few of them which i can
*wiping won't delete rom files from internal sd
*it'll still be unlocked
*check android version in settings - about 4.0.4 = ics 4.1.x/4.2.x=jb
AFAIK

Performing a factory reset formats everything but the /data/media/ directory, which contains your internal storage.

If you're worried about losing any if your important content, including your nandroid backups, I recommend either transferring your content to a flash drive or to your pc that way you'll always have it and know where to look for it in case anything were to go wrong on your phone. You can also upload your content to a cloud but that can take a bit more time. If this helped please hit thanks as it really does help my status here on XDA.

No. Nandroids are recovery dependant. You would need to revert back to TWRP in oder to restore that backup and vice versa if a backup was made in CWM. Install GooManager from the Play Store, hit menu, then select "Install Openscriptrecovery" to flash the latest TWRP.

You can either delete them from a file explorer from storage/extSdCard or just pop your SD card into a micro SD adapter if you have one and delete files from your computer

You can use CWM or TWRP. What he's saying is you cannot recover a TWRP backup through CWM or vice versa.
So if you plan to use CWM, make a backup with CWM so you can recover in case something goes wrong. Your TWRP backup will not work with CWM.
Wicked is a great rom, it's what I use everyday.

Hey folks,
I recently rooted my note 2 gt n7100 and flashed dr ketans 4.3 rom onto it.
I made a backup using cwm beforehand and I am trying to restore using that backup via cwm but it says cannot open directory and no file found. I have the backup saved on both my sd card and internal memory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

Yeah. CWM has screwed you over like it did to me a few days ago even though I am aware of this fault... 4.2.2+ have a different partition layout for reading SD card. You may have noticed you have a new folder called /0 and when you go in it your internal data is there right? This is for multi user and other things. CWM cannot read itself because /0 is in the way. Try moving the folder from /0/ClockworkMod out of the /0 folder...
This is why I use TWRP now... However it should read your external SD back up.

You are correct when you talk about the /0 for the internal storage. The external storage however is not under 0 and I have the backup saved there yet it still does not read it. If I install twrp will it read the cwm backup?

No it won't. Try moving the internal on out, I think you may have gotten unlucky and the external back up is actually corrupt.

The internal backup and external backup are one and the same. I just copied the external one into the internal folder to see if it would work. Would you know where I can get a stock touch wiz which is not network locked?

All N7100 are unlocked. Use MiniTab or look for older 4.1.2 threads
