Hi! I have Samsung A50.
I have accidently deleted my photos. I have found application that can help to recover deleted data (dr.fone). But it requires root. To root device it needs unlocking bootloader. After unlocking bootloader it wipes all data. I'm afraid that after unlocking bootloader it will be impossible to recover deleted data. How can I unlock bootloader without wiping data? I found that Xiaomi phone can do that (link to instruction). Maybe we also have such opportunity? Please help me, I lost about 20GB of important for me photos, memories.
PS. DiskDigger couldn't help me.
I think you have just lost it, as you are correct that unlocking the botloader will clear data.
I guess just admit they are gone and buy a decent sized sdcard or external hdd to back them up to.

I'm a complete noob on this stuff. I rooted my android years ago so not familiar with new stuff. I'm trying to recover deleted texts I used fonepaw and it says I have to root the phone. Won't that erase everything? So how do I do this and retrieve texts? I'll probably need step by step or something that does it for me. I thought fonepaw would but not the case. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
If the bootloader was never unlocked (locked it the default/stock condition) then unlocking the bootloader will wipe the phone. You need an unlocked bootloader to root the phone.
does opening the bootloader erase internal memory?
please reply ASAP
Xiaomi is a special kid on the block.
While Android by design wipes all partitions when you confirm unlocking the bootloader Xiaomi does not do that.
By some weird decision I don't know why.
But I recommend to either way backup everything you got before unlocking the bootloader just to be safe.
thanks
Wipes data...
The data will be wiped after unlocking the bootloader!

So... Does it matter when? You loose data unlocking the bootloader no matter what, when etc...
Need help recovering lost data. Was messing around with my phone because the cellular connection wasn't working, and accidentally factory reset. I have no back ups, local, online, or otherwise. Heard you can recover the data via unlocking boot loader and getting software but I cannot find it anywhere, only scams and stuff that doesn't work.
A Factory Reset wipes all user-data as Unlocking Bootloader also does.
You need forensic tools to recover the wiped data. May be an authorized service you take the phone to may have them.

So I can bring it to a local service provider, then? And there's no way I myself can recover the data?
I think so.

Alright, thank you.
I need to recover the files from my late daughter's phone, but we don't have her passcode. Is there any way to use ADB through recovery to dump the user partitions, remove the passcode, or something. Using Samsung's remote unlock is apparently off, so we can't get in that way, and it doesn't look like it's been backing up to her google accounts or anything.
The phone is bone stock, so no custom recovery, and bootloader is locked so no installing a new recovery (As that requires unlocked bootloader, which we can't get to anyway, and even if we could would wipe the device).
Any advice? Suggestions? We're at our wits end here.
I have just rooted an old note 10+ 5g with Magisk to recover some old lost photos.
Problem I have is although successfully rooted now, any recovery app I use is not finding a single file.
Anybody have an idea what to do?

Was the bootloader locked before you did this? Unlocking the bootloader wipes data.

Yes it was locked and I know it wipes data but thought I might be able to recover data

Nope, sorry. As you know, unlocking the bootloader wipes data, and the only thing that -might- be able to recover your files would be forensic data recovery.
Good luck.
I have my old note 9 that I want to do the same thing with. If bootloader needs unlocking how can I get around this so that I can get root but without losing data? Not done rooting for a long long time and this whole bootloader lock seems to be a right pain
I found out the hard way on a 6T a few years back...you can't. Unlocking the bootloader wipes data. Only way around it is back and restore.
