Developers;
Can anyone help me to recover some photos, which is accidently deleted from z5 premium. It's saved on the memory card, tried Dr phone, but says need root. My phone is new and not rooted. If there any options to recover it....?

I tried it as mentioned. But , memory card - removable media option is not showing on the dr. share home page. After home it shows to connect the phone and shows how to set debug on. So, I tried to connect through phone it shows connecting only but not connecting. I am using win 10.

Hey I have looked everywhere for a fix to this problem.
I rooted my desire a few weekends ago, with it now running Neophyte Froyo 2.2 ROM perfectly.
I connected the phone to PC afterwards and transferred some apps onto the sd card (as a disk drive) including a few songs as well.
Since yesterday however, whenever i plug my phone into PC, I am no longer able to access the SD card as a disk drive. The computer recognises the usb, however the phone no longer brings up the menu which asks what i want to eg. charge only, sync, disk drive etc. There is also no drop down menu from the top of the phone for me to change this. Going and manually changing the setting in the desire to "automatically mount as disk drive" has also not helped.
I thought my phone was USB bricked and went on to performing the fix for this. However, despite going through both the methods posted here as well as modaco (changing the CID), the problem persists.
I have accessed the phone using adb, and after typing adb devices, it registers the phone as connected with a serial number, so i dont think USB bricking is an issue here.
I can see a disk drive in computer whenever i plug the phone in, but if i double click on it, it states "Please insert disk drive into F". I have uninstalled the htc sync and drivers numerous times without improvement. I have also restarted my PC and my phone numerous times without improvement.
My phone still reads my SD card no problem. My SD card is also able to be accessed by my PC by taking it out of the phone and using a card reader.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have the same problem on my samsung vibrant phone.
Exactly the same problem here
my SD card is definitely fine, adb commands work.
neither double twist nor HTC sync recognise any phone connected. my computer sees it, but can't access it (same error message)
would love to sort this out too!
ROM: LeeDrOiD v2.3d
Radio: 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17
EDIT: found out it was my own fault. i use autostarts, and stopped 'PC synchronization' from automatically booting after startup. thought it would automatically start when connected to PC, but clearly not. once i undid this it connects to PC fine again, get the dropdown menu!
Sorry, how did you fix this - i am having this too...

He stopped the PC synchronization. Maybe you can stop it in the menu (Settings - Accounts & sync -> disable Background data and Auto-sync). I don't know if that works, but you can try it.
If you have got a Task Manager or something like that you could look for the task and kill it.
I'm not sure, but it should help.
Please post the result of your try.
Tried - no help. Couldn't find anything like "PC synchronisation"??
I ended up taking the battery out, jiggling the SD card and trying again - that seemed to fix it ?! weird...
great

you rock man, it works like a charm after it was a killer pain ... thanks a lot
Hy , i have a problem with my wildfire. Whatever files i put on the phone , or pictures i made ..... i mean everything i pun on the card , and then try to download them in the pc , they will not appear there , i can see the older files but the new one .... no. :| Just after reseting the phone the files appear. This is very annoying because i usually make photos and then download them. And i can't just restart the phone each time i make a picture
You can't see them on your Removable Disk Drive when connecting it to the PC or when your browsing with your phone( aka gallery )?
If you can't see the photos when connecting the phone to pc it might be a virus. I recall having problems loading photos from any folder even though I had no viruses, it was just some random error that made thumbnails load very slow even though the system was snappy and seemed to have no problem whatsoever.
It may also be an sd-card error or something and I would suggest to try backing up the files you need and then format it ( fat32 )
Re-add them and check if the problem persists.
ps: Don't use a fast format, let it do a normal one to delete all the data.

Its not youre phone but your pc thats wrong
I've had no issues, and really no need, to USB connect for a while, until my partner wanted me to bulk upload a lot of pictures recently taken at a family event. So I plugged the USB into the phone and attached the PC, an option appeared on the phone to connect SD card and I chose media transfer, then nothing. No icon, no options on the PC to browse the SD card. I've checked the official help pages and done a few of the things they ask you to do - shut down the phone, battery pull, unmounted then mount SD, restore system settings - but none of that has worked. I have even un-installed and reinstalled PC Companion, as advised, so the PC could re download the drivers but still nothing. I'm all out of idea so hopefully some of the helpful users on her could offer some advice.
Thanks.

Just going to bump this. Not sure is this is breaking any "rules" but it's been a couple of days. Most forums suggest leaving a thread 24hrs. It's beyond that.

I read in another thread that somebody had a similar problem like you. He had frozen or deleted an app. Can't remember the app name though.

I found that to search the sd card its hest to use 'connect phone sd card mode' because mtp doesnt like sd cards with a lot on for some reason. So to connect it in mtp mode I've given up on answers anf just accept that to connect it I have to unmount my sd card and then it works perfectly. I havn't tried re-mounting the sd card after a successful connect though to be fair so you could try that?

Thanks to both of you. Tried unmounting and then connecting but it fails to install a driver, which is exactly the problem someone in the thread Dousan linked to. An MTP app? or some such. I'm not so techno savvy so im not sure if I would have deleted it in my haste for getting rid of things I don't use. Not sure if having that app would help.
Hello. I just got a xperia play phone a few days ago (the Verizon model R800x). I've been trying to figure out what to do with my phone, but I'm having trouble connecting the device to my pc.
I don't know why, but whenever I try to connect the phone's internal memory, the device never shows up. I thought maybe it was my computer, so I tried a couple other ones in my house too and they all can't find the device for some odd reason. It works fine whenever I change to usb storage though the memory card, but the phone itself NEVER shows up. I've also tried installing the PC companion to find the device, but the result is the same.
Any idea why my phone's internal memory can't be located?
EDIT: Yup tried it again. Tried uninstalling the driver and pc companion. Installed PC companion, driver was found, but still doesn't show up in My Computer whenever the phone is connected. SD Memory connection works and shows up in My Computer, connection with the phone doesn't. Tried installing other drivers and it usually says driver is already updated to the most recent. Anyone have any other suggestion?
That's how it works. You can't access the phone's internal storage from a computer.

I have another question though, I just managed to finish setting up adb for my device. The thing is all the apps are still grayed out for moving to sd option and can't be moved to my sd card. I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089282
I was able to locate my device after typing adb devices and I changed the setInstallLocation 2. But it's still grayed out after I reboot it and check my current apps.
Also on this guide Step 13: check that the Xperia play is available on my computer menu and you can browse his content it says that, but it doesn't show up on My Computer. In step 10, it says to change it media transfer mode. Is there a way to do this for the verizon phones since I heard that function is gone in the verizon xperias.
So my friend, having made a move to the iPhone 6+, asked me to help her move pictures, etc. from her old phone to her new phone. Unfortunately, I don't know what went wrong and her phone (t989) won't connect to the computer. The notification that it's in USB mode doesn't show, the sd cards (internal and external) aren't being read / even visible on the computer, and it's a stupid phone that I personally want to destroy.
Caveats:
She is on Gingerbread still having never updated her phone. All her pictures are on her internal SD card too. Apps are of course restricted by her OS (but it wouldn't be that hard to find old apps, just time consuming). Google Play Store crashes frequently while downloading apps. She isn't rooted (obviously, I don't blame her since she isn't interested in all that, and the only root method seems to be to use ODIN, but that would wipe her internal clean which I don't want to do.
What I've done:
I've done a hard reset on the phone (shut down, remove battery, insert battery, turn on). Not sure if the seconds matter, but it was a quick take out, put in. Maybe a few seconds, definitely not 30 more. But when the phone turned on, her time went back to 1970 or something.
I've tried to copy the DCIM of the internal onto the external, but she has like 5k pictures and using My Files, it quits the transfer randomly without an indication where it quit or why.
AirDroid, but that gave me invalid package. Could have installed manually, but didn't have that much time and didn't think about it.
Bluetooth on the mac doesn't stay connected to the phone.
My goal:
Figure out how to connect to the computer preferably over USB. I still need to transfer her whatsapp messages too but without it showing up on the computer, I'm stuck. I've downloaded Samsung drivers, I have Samsung Kies installed. I just don't know what is wrong with it.
Any ideas? I've done all this on my laptop, but I told her to come over some day to use my desktop and see if it works on there (I was using a Windows Bootcamp partition on my macbook pro). I tried to connect the phone to OSX as well, but I didn't install Kies, which might be a reason... but the USB connected notification just doesn't want to come.
