I long ago forgot my password for Private Mode on my Galaxy Tab S running a stock 4.4.2. In order to regain use of Private Mode, I decided to remove my microSD card, do a Kies backup of the device to my laptop and then do a "factory data reset" on the Tab S. Then I reinserted the microSD and and ran an "automatic restore." I did get Private Mode back, but the problem is none of my downloaded apps, photos, music, onboard maps, etc. are showing up anywhere. Even after re-downloading ES File Explorer I can't find any trace of them on the microSD. Can anybody tell me where I went wrong? I don't want to have to reconstitute 30 gigs of data manually.

Hey out of nowhere i've gotten this error on my galaxy nexus and i've tried installing different rom's but still the error persists, I can't backup my phone onto the computer and format it and start again because it won't connect to the computer because of phone hardware issues. ive tried deleting photos and videos still no solution I can't install apps through the market because of the issue so that's out of the question aswell as the rom not including a file manager so if someone can give me a solution i'd be extremely happy!
Thanks!
Please post questions one time only and in the Q&A sections.

I decided to upgrade to the CM10.1M build and really like 4.2. Just noticed some functions that I really liked that are missing since the upgrade form CM10. Anyone know if these will come along or if they have been scratched?
1. Click to take a picture while recording a video.
2. Use as mass storage device under Settings--> Storage-->Options
3. Have the headphone jack reset to half volume on unplug.
Sorry if this is in the wrong area, haven't posted here often.
Thanks.
Hi!
Questions should be posted in the AT&T Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section of this forum. If I were you, I would use the "Report this message" function to nicely ask a moderator to move your thread to the corresponding section.

This most probably won't happen, because of how the device interacts with storage/partitions. Such an option might eventually get implemented for external SD card only, as the extSD is on its own partition. You may be interested in EasyUMS, which enables mounting the extSD card as an MSC device.
Technically, this should have went in the cm bug report thread. No need to open a new one. And as for the usb options, it existed previously. It simply has not been implemented on cm10.1 yet.

Thanks, I will install EasyUMS today, its perfect for what I need. And you are correct, it only ever showed the ext card.
Appreciate it.

Thanks, didn't consider any of the missing options bugs. As with he USB, I just assumed they haven't been implemented yet. Not one to complain about an awesome OS that I've been given to for free!
thanks

There's also this for Linux users.
My company's IT department set an enterprise-level Exchange 2010 ActiveSync mailbox policy that enables a local device wipe after multiple failed password attempts. My child was playing with my phone and apparently enacted this, creating a factory reset and complete wipe of my phone. I am now looking for any way to recovery the hundreds of pictures (and videos and other data) that were stored locally on the phone's internal memory. Note: I do NOT have an SD card and unfortunately I did not back up the files in the cloud or anywhere else. (shame on me)
I have scoured this board and others and been unable to find a solution or work around. Or, the things I've tried have been thwarted by issues. (example: apparent inability to enable USB Mass Storage (UMS) on an un-rooted device?) I'm fairly savvy with computers (mainly Windows) and am very logical and methodical in troubleshooting but I don't have dev experience, Linux familiarity, file recovery experience or any advanced knowledge in this area. I would be very grateful for any insight. My basic question is this:
Question: How can I recover deleted files from a stock 4.1.2 SGH-I747 after a factory reset?
I will actively monitor this thread and answer any additional questions. Thanks in advance for any help or guidance!

Just wanted to bump this thread as I am still desperately trying to find a solution.
Also, here is an update/recap:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) running Android 4.1.2. My phone is rooted. A factory reset was inadvertently performed on the phone that wiped the entire internal memory (I do not have an external SD card). I had many very important pictures of my children, family, etc. that I would really like to get back if it’s at all possible. I installed DiskDigger and performed a scan for all .jpgs. The tool sees “/data” of 12.24 GiB (and other devices) but the scan does NOT result in any files. Does this mean none of the files are recoverable? Or, would it help to try another tool? I’m happy to purchase DiskDigger Pro or try anything else if it will help at all. Or, I'm also up for trying much more drastic measures if there is a reasonable likelihood of some recovery. Thanks in advance for any information or feedback.

Hi, you should try "UnDelete"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.undelete&hl=en
This may or may not work on the phone as long as you didn't overwrite many files. ( I have not tested hard resets.)
Thanks
EDIT : Sorry! I was wrong! I just tried a different app, and it recovered half of a deleted image on a phone I was repairing. Its called DiskDigger.
Search in /data (that is the internal SDcard)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.defianttech.diskdigger&hl=en
I know this is a forum for professional developers, but I can't seem to get straight answers or help elsewhere.
My phone 'reset' itself. By that I mean the battery went dead, I plugged into a charger and turned it on and it acted as if I had just gotten the phone. I had to resign in through google, etc...
Of course, all my apps where gone, as well as, files - including my contacts. These were not backed up to google - please don't bother chastising me for it - I get it. I had thought they were backed up to my laptop via the Samsung Kies app, but apparently not.
Having said all that, the device memory is full with the bulk (10.46GB) in Miscellaneous files. I assume these are all my from before the reset. However, I cannot get access to these files. I have tried to download the TWRP from apps store and there is not enough memory on the device.
Am I to assume that I have to Root the device to be able to manipulate the files, either by messing with the internal clock and/or moving the files to the SD card, doing a hard reset, then restoring the files to the phone?
Is rooting the device something a newbie like me can do?
I'm pretty desperate and would prefer to be pointed in the right direction, rather than scold for being an idiot and not backing up the phone and/or any of the plethora of things I should have done to keep me from this situation.
I found a video seems somewhat helpful (forum rules prevent me from posting link, apparently), but I cannot find all the files I'm supposed to have to complete the process.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
I have unfortunately lost more than 10 GB of data which was stored on internal memory of my Note 10.1 2014 LTE, deleted somehow, and I'm not sure what has caused that (I'm suspicious of Clean Master app though). Hopefully I have backup of most of that data, but desperately tried to recover the rest, to no avail. Searched for and tried some recovery tools and apps, but apparently all of them need root access to my device. My device is not rooted and I have not yet done so. Browsing this forum I learned some about rooting and other related things, thanks to all who share their valuable knowledge here, and below are a couple of questions:
(Considering all I need is recovering deleted files from internal memory) is there someway to perform a recovery on internal storage using Download or Recovery modes (those accessed by unlock+volume+home keys), by a recovery tool installed on a PC, without the need to root the device? Does those modes in anyway make it possible to have access to internal storage as a USB mass storage like old versions of android (perhaps using Odin or any other tool)?
If the only way is rooting the device, would you please introduce the safest way to do so, without losing the currently installed apps and their data and settings. I found many threads in this forum introducing different ways to root, but I'm a novice and can't choose the proper way, need more help. My device specs are as follows:
SM-P605
android 4.4.2
Build number: KOT49H.P605ZSUCOD1
Your early reply would by highly appreciated.
p.s. Does any one know if Clean Master app creates a log file of what it does? and its path?

Nope you need to root the device. Here is the info, pretty easy and you could go back to your none rooted without issue
