I accidentally deleted my some important photos from my device and I also factory reset my phone..Now is there any way to get back my photos? My phone is not rooted. I have tried some apps like wondershare, phone lab. But I failed. Please help me
There are some special tools like for example "MobiSaver" from EaseUS, but chances to successfully restore most or even some data are rather low.
Edit: I wouldn't recommend any of them, MobiSaver just was an example. IMHO most paid recovery apps are just pure scam.

You need to root your Xiaomi Mi A2 first, then tries with an Android data recovery. www.android-data-recovery.com

I wouldn't recommend apps from Wondershare to anybody, they are often labeled as scam company on the net. Most of those recovery tools are kinda scam, their free test versions always find lots of data to recover, but the paid apps won't recover anything or produce lots of garbage.
Edit: Always make backups at least once a week of important pictures and documents!

As with all programs such as the toolkit and playing with system files Mike the developer of the program recommends a full backup before you start playing - just in case. (So do I, always) That way you don't lose your setup that you have worked on so hard...
The camera mods do not wipe or affect the phone in any way, at least not when I applied them, but things can go wrong, so that's why you back up

Nandroid backup is included in the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit so use that. Everything is backed up by that - you can even get really clever and extract sms mms etc. from the nandroid (for example here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370349) if that is what you mean by messages. Surely your emails will be on your email server, contacts in your google account as extra backup even though the nandroid will contain them? Unless you do something really radical, like fully wipe the SOC, partition etc doesn't enter into it...

hi, i unlocked my phone, but... where i can find what it was of my interests? camera enhancements. Where i can find it, in the toolkit 7.4?
ok, it was on mods section of the toolkit
So I have always wondered what happens when you remote wipe a phone from like Android Device Manager and if you have a custom recovery like TWRP. I tried the wipe on my M8 and it for sure worked, but since TWRP was installed it left all the data ion the SD Card. Is there anyway to force TWRP to do a full factory reset by default rather than just removing apps etc?
If not I may just have to install the stock recovery, if I can find it for my Bell M8.

that won't wok if the phone is not in my hands.
make a back up and try it out and let us know ! lol
already did, wiped from device manager and it wiped the phone but left the SD card intact. This is a major oversight for custom recovery because same applies on my N7. Send a remote wipe to the phone, your actually just giving your data away because now they can access your SD card since you wiped it remotely but it didn't wipe the SD card.
Wonder if encrypting the SD Card and then wiping will resolve this? The data should be useless after remote wiping and will need the advanced wipe from TWRP to bring the SD card back to life.
I use an app called Cerberus that can remotely wipe the SD card. It also has a bunch of other features for remotely controlling phones.
Been a happy user for several years. Never needed the remote wipe, but I have used the location and other features.

Thanx for your suggestion, that apps looks promising. Been looking for something like this after a buddy's phone was stolen. A self destruct wiould be great after x number of unlock attempts-not sure if it has this or not, but will definitely check it out.

It doesn't have a wipe on failures, but it does take a picture and email you after X failures.
It can also be setup to notify you if a different SIM is inserted.
I also like that is can be controlled via a client app, the web or texts from any phone (with a password).
I like that it has an update.zip installer that survives factory resets. Few thieves will know/think to flash a new ROM.
Edit: Geez, I sound like a shill. Just a very happy user. I think I found it on XDA originally.

Nah you don't really - I perfectly get it. The stress I have seen on my buddy is immense, so I appreciate you emphasizing on this app. The thief wants $800 else... They have already changed gmail password, facebook, yada yada. If there's an app we can send to the phone and destroy it now that would be awesome. Any who major lesson learned. Thanx again.

Hi!
I tried to remove a bunch of Xiaomi and Google bloatware on my Redmi Note 9 Pro. I folllowed the lines of https://www.allaboutxiaomi.com/how-to-remove-bloatware-without-root-on-your-xiaomi-redmi-device/ and removed what I thought would be inoffensive removals: Mi Video, Mi Sound, Mi Notes and stuff like that.
Now my phone boots to recovery, leaving the options of Wipe Data and Connect with MIAssistant. Tha latter does not work - I don't know why because I have a MI account.
Device is not unlocked.
Any help would be appreciated. Of course I would like NOT to erase the data.
Best,
benedict
Hello, I'm not 100% sure, but you could reflash the system with MiFlash and choose below you want to keep your data!
if you were unlocked, you could push adb the security center apk in TWRP, or adb sideload, but you can't you need it unlocked to do that.
Seems factory reset is the answer.

you didn't read all documentation about removing bloatware and just followed some kid random guide online, and now you will factory reset. The End of movie. if i were you after doing this i will unlock device to have control over it because as i wrote before about adb sideload pushing etc.
You're right. Thing is I looked a bit in the forums here but couldn't find a good guide.
Any idea though why MiAssistant doesn't work?
About unlocking: that required a data wipe so I was lazy to do it properly... My bad.
There's no place for lazy people when customizing device man, apps can be reinstalled Gstore saves history of them so it is easy to see last installed, music is on spotify or smth like that, images docs etc just transfer to laptop, Yes for unlocking device you will have to factory reset again. Miassistant never works i dont know what is it for XD as soon as i got my 9s i unlocked it and thats the end of movie full control over a device i bought with my money.

The truth is always harsh to accept. backup is made before doing something to the device, in your case your only way is to factory reset.

How to recover data after factory reset ?
I have recently done a factory reset on vivo v15. It contained so many important gallery photos on it. Can anyone recommend me a way to restore data on vivo v15 ? I have tried so many tools but none of them worked for me. Please help me thank...
forum.xda-developers.com
If you can't find them in your trash bin, the only way is using pro data recovery software. But before that, you need to make sure they are not overwritten by new data.

Are you familiar with what software people are using for android? Looking to recover just permanently deleted photos.
Hi, I don't know if it's the right place to ask for help, but I'll still try.
A couple of days ago while travelling I updated my OnePlus 9 Pro with the latest update of Android 12 not knowing that update was apparently quite buggy as I found out later. Previously all updates have always run smoothly on my phones, so I wasn't really cautious about it. As a result after update phone didn't work anymore, it started always to vibrate after giving sim card PIN kinda trying to start (similar to the sound of whirring hard drive), but it couldn't go beyond the home screen's wallpaper. As I needed my phone, I had to choose "Format user data" under Wipe data from the boot menu as there weren't any other options under Wipe. I got a working phone after that, but I lost all my data.
So the question is: is there a way to restore videos and photos from the gallery (my photos weren't synchronizing to Google Photos) after this formatting? And more precisely, eg. by using DroidKit Data recovery tool I can perform only quick recovery unrooted, which doesn't find any files from the gallery. There is an option to perform a deep recovery, but for that I need to root my phone. Rooting apparently requires bootloader unlocking, which most likely wipes all phone data anyway without possibility to restore.
And more questions: would a deep recovery even find those gallery files, if the phone would be rooted? If bootloader unlocking wipes all data completely, so it wouldn't be possible to restore any data after that for sure? Is there an option to perform a deep scan without a phone being rooted? Is there an option to root without bootloader unlocking? There are some apps, which don't really do automatic rooting, and they aren't trustworthy, despite they say that they can root phones in seconds.
I definitely have learned from this recent experience, and I will do better in the future.
I think most likely it's not possible to restore my photos and videos I lost in this case, but I just had to ask to make sure, there are no more tricks I can use... Any thoughts? Thanks!
I would think there would be an app in the app store that would recover your photos and videos without root since they are to located in the root drive. It may take a few tries to find the right app. Good luck. That is why I routinely backup everything on my internal storage to the PC just for this reason.
Your storage is encrypted. There is no way to recover the files as the factory reset generated new keys when wiping the storage. Sorry for the bad news. Make sure to make backups before taking updates in the future is all anyone can suggest.

I've tried many of those before, but they don't see gallery photos nor videos at all after phone factory reset, though they claim they can do that. What these apps can see and recover in my experience are call history, documents, audio files, sms (all of these things were recovered anyway from the phone backup), photos and videos from Whatsapp (which I don't need as its' chats were backed up before that update). Some of them offer a deep recovery (don't know what a deep scan would find in the end), which requires phone to be rooted, and that requires bootloader unlocking, which will wipe storage for good anyway, so basically all those apps are useless.
