Hey guy,
i have made the mother of all screw ups.
Mates phone had all pics and vids and contact all gone after i did a flashboot to unlock the bootloader. I didnt realise it would delete everything.
Do any of you know of a program that would recover contacts and pics from a HTC One?
Problem with these phones is you cant mount the storage?

There are some apps in the Play Store that may help. I stupidly formatted my internal memory once and lost some pictures I didn't have backed up. Needless to say, both Dropbox and G+ back them up for me now.

contacts should be backed with google. as for messages, they might get recovered with the app but they dont get back up anywhere.

Assuming it's the Verizon One, I would suggest switching to Verizon Messages. It allows you to text from any WiFi tablet as if it's your phone and also syncs messages to the cloud.

Hello,
My phone hard reseted itself somehow i'm not concerned cause i could put everything back but my main concern is SMS MESSAGES - i had over 300 text messages from my gf saved, is there anyway I can bring those back - anyway at all? Please let me know because i had a lot of confidential data. Thanks (Main Concern: SMS Messages From Her)
I would think the only hope would be if they were on the SIM card (which they are probably not). Sorry to hear about the problem though
That sucks dude. Sprite Backup is a lifesaver. Too late to suggest that though.

Sprite is awesome. I can screw with this thing until it is broken and just click on my back up file and it restores it perfect every time.
I just noticed that people/contacts can only export 50 contacts from my phone. I noticed this because i saved the same number many times an upon exporting it gives me the 1/50 until it reaches 50/50 contacts exported to sd card, i also created dummy contacts to see if they get saved but they didn't, they showed on phone but trying to export they never show up. Ive lost several numbers that way thinking i was saving them then resetting my phone then importing them back in only to find out never got saved besides the original 50.
I have no clue right now where to start to fix this any one had similar problem that can help?
It may not be the answer or resolution you are looking for but I would highly recommend just syncing your contacts with google. Then you don't even have to worry about it because once you sync them, google will save and restore them with no need for interaction. Automagically if you will

Thats what the sprint rep told me. Rather save personal things offline to do myself. Really thats just a cop out with the price of the phone and its stature of a super phone.
Imagine the 1st landline phone people used and it gives you problems, you write to the company and they write back saying hey at lest you can scream out your window and they will be able to hear you.
he also told me to take it into a sprint store for them to trouble shoot. Now i have to root the phone back and put stock. major hassle. Unless there is a solution i can take to avoid all that. After that most likely i'll get new phone with stock 2.2 that cant be rooted as of yet.
I can tell you that i have never seen your problem before. I'm a tech at Sprint and i have done many contact export and imports, sometimes several hundred contacts and never had a problem unless it was the sd card.
You said that you might take to a Sprint store but will have to unroot and flash to stock first. Before taking it into Sprint, try going back to stock and see if that fixes the issue. Could be a rom issue that no one else is noticing or not reporting with whatever rom you might be running.
Also, thats not really a cop out when people suggest using google to backup your contacts. Thats how the phone was designed to work. If you must have that physical backup, then just backup your contacts to google, then import to outlook. Not the solution you wanted to hear I'm sure, but it's another alternative.

Also, if you just sync with Google, you can export straight from Google into a couple different formats.

Yeah. Google recently changed their whole contacts page, but just go to contacts > More actions > Export... and then just choose all contacts, and the format:
Code:
Google CSV format (for importing into a Google account)
Outlook CSV format (for importing into Outlook or another application)
vCard format (for importing into Apple Address Book or another application)
So my Galaxy Nexus is coming in the mail either today (May 9) or tomorrow (May 10).
I have a Nexus S and A LOT of stuff on it; apps, pictures, music, saved data, email crap, etc.
Is there anyway to transfer all of it to my new Galaxy Nexus??? Like is there some sort of Google service that can do that?
C'mon guys! Someone HAS to know an answer......
I transferred the data (pics, music, etc) from my old phone to a folder on my comp and then transferred it back to the Nexus. Is that an option for you?

Yeah I was going to do that, but on google.com/nexus it says that you can use some sort of Google thing to transfer all of your stuff.... I was just wondering if that would work and how to do it, but if not; Ill just do it the way you said.

The half a paragraph that google means, if you have all your pictures synced with google plus, and have all your music on the google music server, then you would be able to get that back with just signing in, hopefully you sync your contacts with google that also will come back. The apps part well I always found their app restore alittle problematic, it does keep a record of your apps installed, and they will reinstall if you opt into that, but you may get a ton of apps tthat you deleted that may get thrown in there too.
I have not used app brain in a long while but they did have a feature that scans your installed apps and lets save that to your profile, that will be your best choice if that is still a feature. But app data does not get restored, for that you will have too copy over some folders, they should mostly be in android/data but YMMV with that and may be hit or miss if the data gets restored. On a side note if/when you try that install the apps first then copy the android/data folders back over and then restart your phone.
These are your options if your not rooted I may be wrong, but I have restored some games data for a friend by copying that android/data to their new phone
I really hope with google giving out personnel cloud storage that they include a opt in to have your app data stored in their. For normal consumers they do not know xda they do not know root. Having a means to include seemless app backup would be great as for normal people digging through folders to backup app data in case their phone breaks is not something they think about
Ok..
Go to google.com/nexus
Click on the "Beyond Smart" link/shortcut thingy
then read what it says....
Am i missing something?

It's referring to Google Backup; if you have an option on your Nexus S to b/u your apps/settings to Google servers, then it will automatically restore your apps, and some settings (wifi passwords, etc...) to your phone. It won't restore any data associated with these apps however, i.e. you made to to the 99th level on some game, etc... It's not a special cloud service you have to sign up for, but you do have to check a box or two. It's handy, but not as potentially awesome as they make it sound. Look in the settings menu on your current phone, option will be under Backup and Restore or alike, and you'll be prompted for these options the first time you fire up your new phone.
IF you're backed up currently, it will auto download your apps (including the free ones) to your phone when you sign into your Google acct.
No idea if it works in going from Nexus S to Galaxy Nexus however.

oooh I understand now. Thanks for the help guys!
Hi guys! i'm facing a problem everytime i flash a 4.2.2 ROM..
when i try to import contacts from sim to phone it says that there are no contacts on the sim card (data, everything else working fine..)
i've searched around forums, google, etc.. can't find a solution.
Maybe i have just asked something very stupid or already said somewhere and then i say sorry for that, but i really can't get out from this!

From SIM?! Transfer your contacts to your Gmail and no need to worry anymore. It's much better,as you can lose your phone/SIM along with contacts. But with contacts on your Gmail all you need is just log in to your Gmail from your phone and all contacts are ready to use with any Android phone...

I have a Verizon LG G3. It is not rooted nor do I have any backups. I've searched online and found several programs, however I cannot get any of them to work. Can anyone tip me in the right direction? I accidentally deleted all my texts late last night.

Last night seems like a long time to try and recover those texts. Most likely, the deleted data is already overwritten. Next time use SMS Backup and Restore to backup your texts.

Call your carrier and ask them if they can recover them for you. If not you need a court order (warrant).
No, no court warrant. A contractor I hired flaked on me, so I put a stop payment on the check. He is threatening to sue me for the money he is not entitled to. I had messages showing I "fired him", but for some stupid reason, I deleted all my texts last night.
When I first got the phone, it gave me an option to restore texts. It restored a bunch from months prior. Do you think if I do a master reset, I could get them back that way?

No. A master reset wouldn't magically retrieve them. The only option is calling the carrier and see if they can print you out a transcript of those texts. They should be able to.

I got them. I retrieved them online in my Verizon account. Crazy. Every text is there.
