It's looking more and more like I'll be unable to recover this phone with recordings intact. I'd like to know if anyone has had any luck using lost data recovery apps that I'm seeing on the web that claim to be able to recover data after a factory wipe. I've recovered data from a hard drive before so I guess it may also be possible with a phone. Has anyone been successful doing this?

Hi all! I had to do factory reset and I lost some photos.Looking after something that would be able to recover my photos I found out there are some apps for recovering,but all need root permission.If I root my phone I would have a chance to recover photos?
Edit: I did factory reset from bootloader mode

depends on your version of android and if you can enable usb mass storage, have a look here>>>>>http://www.asoftech.com/articles/recover-deleted-photos-from-android.html
I tried Asoftech and others like that (Recuva,Card data recovery etc.) .Most of them didn't recognize my phone..
That's why I started thinking about rooting.And anyway I would like to have root.I saw there are so much cool apps.But now the most important thing is recovering my photos and maybe apps that need root permissions are better?
Most of those programs need a usb device to work. MTP what HTC now is offering is commonly not supported. Best chance is to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery which lets you mount the sdcard as a usb drive and then try to recover lost data.
No guarantees !
I do remember that I have done a backup before the factory reset. But when I wanna find the photos on my computer a week later, I failed.
So I wonder if I can recover from the N3 so I tried some programs , but seems no photo can be recovered.
Anybody here know some other ways?
Well, as you've mentioned, related programs would be the easiest way to get data back. Here is an article tells you how to recover data from oppo on mac. You can check it out.

It depends on the time you want to spent on this and there is no guarantee at all.
Most importantly you have to stop using your device as every second android is running it may overwrite the data you deleted.
Once overwritten you're lost. Well there are companies may restoring even those but this is also a very expensive journey.
Then the next question is do you have twrp installed or not?
You definitively need a rooted device and besides that twrp would be the best starting point to avoid more data loss.
Then you would dump your data/media partition with dd then copy that image over to your pc and starting data rescue on that image.
I've never used that before but there is a send command tool when the device is in download mode. This way you should be able to backup even without root..

Hello everyone sorry to bother. So I was flashing a custom rom for my op5t and followed the usual steps : wipe system data cache and flashed the rom+gapps+magisk. And when I tried to boot the device it got stuck at the oneplus logo it didn't even got into bootloop. So I decided to flash rom again and wiped the data again but there I saw all the files were encrypted. I don't know how did it happen I wasn't encrypted in the beginning and now I can't install anything, the phone does not have any OS so it can't boot up. I don't want to lose my data is there anything I can do without locking the bootloader?
No need to lock your bootloader, but I think your data is lost.
Format data, and flash system again.
Yup. Don't lock your bootloader or you really will be screwed. Your data is lost at this point. Live, learn and remember to back up you data.

Not that it helps you now, but typically backup data does not mean to the device you are messing with. You want to backup data to another device (like your PC). What would help at this point, is knowing exactly what you flashed. (What were you on, and what did you flash)
It sounds like you flashed two ROMs with different types of encryption, and the reason you can no longer read your data. Sometimes, and I mean sometimes, if you are lucky, you can go back to the ROM that you originally on and your data would still be readable. I've been able to salvage data this way before, sometimes just with the correct TWRP on some devices.

I solved the problem but it cost me my data after all. I had access to TWRP and fastboot but it couldn't read any of the data neither transfer anything from pc so I wiped all the device via TWRP and mounted into my pc and could finally transferred necessary files to flash. After all I did not lock the bootloader but lose my data
hi all, I am planning to buy a Huawei mate 20 X and thought you all will be able to help to clear my doubts. As I know there are ways to get the personal data back even after a factory reset. I have read and tried data recovery softwares to recover files from SD card. As I know, in apple devices, if you factory resets, there is no way of getting your old data back without backups from icloud or itunes. That is a very good option if you are selling your used device so no one can take your personal data. I am planning to sell my device also after some time to upgrade. Is there a way to delete everything permanently in the mobile (factory reset) which no one can recover again? Even after a factory reset, i heard there are 3rd party softwares for Andriod based devices to recover data without any backups. I am a samsung user and planning to move to Mate 20 X. Please help me. Thank you in advance.
