To start:
The phone is not rooted.
It used to be able to enter recovery mode (I tried to fix the boot-looping by deleting the cache) but it now reboots through it.
The phone itself is irrelevant--I only care about the data on its internal storage now.
--
I've got an old Lg Stylo 3 that's boot-looping and I really need the notes from Quick Memo. I've had it looked at professionally, but they couldn't do anything. So, now I'm at an impasse--I'm betting that a factory reset would fix it, but I would like to re-aquire my notes first. I've seen lots of obvious BS about programs that can recover data (including memo pad files) after a factory reset, and some less-obvious BS, too. Can anyone confirm this as possible and programs that can do it?
I've also read that's it's possible to factory reset, then turn off the phone to access it via USB and use data recovery, but this supposedly no longer works since the change to MTP. Is there any confirmation of this?

the dbdata file is corrupted.
1) download this file

2) extract it
3) use Odin to flash it under the PDA option
-make sure repartition is UNCHECKED
-do not select any pit file
-leave everything else the same
hi, i got a question, maybe its stupid but i've tried searching and cant find it anywhere.
so my hermes 2.0.1 tab p1000 is under my Google account. and since i've bought the P7500, i'm trying to give the p1000 to my wife. made some google account for her.
the problem:
- i've reset to factory default, no luck (through settings)
- i've reset to factory default, usb format no lick (through settings)
- i've wiped through recovery CWM. still no luck
basically after all above, my programs are still there, my account is also there, and now my tab wont show the flight mode, and data mode when pressed power.. only show the overcome added menu (reboot, recovery, etc)
so any lights on this? should i reflash? i'm confused because all my stuffs is still there in the tab... and i want to clean it up.. hopefully without resorting to reflash.
How are you going into recovery? When the tab is off, hold in power, hold volume up, when you see samsung let go of power. The factory reset will take out everything.
When you reboot, the set up screens should be confirmation of a complete wipe.
Or you could flash the wipe version of overcome rom.
sorry my bad..
i just pressed the recovery option in tab menu.
then it shows different kind of recovery menu... (blue color)
when i do power+up it shows an orange color cwm.. and this one works.. sorry for thetrouble
It's no trouble, it's a good discovery.
hi guys, would really appreciate your help..
i was trying to fix my nexus 4's problem of unable to sync with google servers so i deleted the data/data/com.android.providers.settings and it indeed fixed the issue.
unfortunatley, after rebooting, i'm now:
- unable to get a lockscreen
- unable to get home button to work
- swipe down settings are gone. and so are notifications
is there another way to restore this other than a factory reset?

Factory reset wil not help, reflash a factory image or custom rom if you are rooted.

He only deleted the data so of course a factory reset will fix it this.
You will probably take ages trying to fix and end up having to wipe anyway. I take it you haven't got a backup of any sort (nandroid/ti backup) etc?

Yup, my bad. So many users wiping the entire sdcard nowadays that i took it wrong and didn`t read correctly
I thought I did but I searched my PC and couldn't find any previously backed up data. So I guess I've no choice but to factory reset and reinstall my data

Hi there! I had had the same problem l33chpda had, but the factory reset fix worked just one time only, today i was about to resell my phone so i wanted to factory reset it, after that i've come across with the problem i had that time, again.
Don't know what to do, i have same issues mentioned by l33chpda, cant get into settings, swipe down settings neither, etc; when try to, phone just do nothing or stays one second and goes back home screen.
I have made nandroid (both clockworkmod and TWRP) of the phone when I bought it, but with online nandroid so i don't have any custom recovery installed.
While checking those nandroid backups, I've discovered the deleted folder backup in the clockworkmod nandroid folder.
Could it be possible to paste it back into "\data\data" folder? should that be the fix? Or I'll have to reflash all even though I dont wanna take that risk because is just that, the other things of the phone are intact and work great.
In case of reflashing, could you tell me about any easy tutorial on how to install clockworkmod recovery?
I own an LG G2 D800, KitKat d80020y rooted with stumproot.
Hello everyone,
yesterday I wanted to try out encrypting my Note 4 (N910F). The process took over 10 hours without anything happening. I then decided the encryption failed and restartet the phone. It then asked my to reset it to factory settings, which I didn't do (yet). Unfortunatly I didn't make a backup before trying to encrypt it, and I would really like to keep the data, especially pictures, some messages, settings etc. Now is there any way I can still get the data? Or even the slightest possibility? The phone is running Android 5.0.1, is rooted and USB Debugging is enabled. Sadly, Samsung Kies, Samsung Smart Switch and Windows Explorer can't access the device (Windows Explorer doesn'T even recognize it). Now is there any way to still get atleast some data? Via ADB or so?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Have a nice weekend,
DubKing
Anything? This happened to me to and would like to know how to save data.

There is no way, afaik. Sorry.
I reformatted and ran recovery utilities. I got a few hits, but I couldn't recover everything. I'm followed the tutorial found in the following link. I was able to extract the entire userdata image and am getting ready to perform file recovery on it. Good luck.

Hey, I need some help with my Samsung Galaxy s4.
I rooted my phone for a week now and the last couple of days I noticed my phone is getting very warm. Only using Chrome and WhatsApp. It's insane hot when I charge it. So I was thinking to factory reset or hard reset my phone, but is it possible with a rooted phone? I never flashed a ROM and only downloaded some rooted apps like Greenify, Root booster etc.
Thank you in advance.
Robin.
Rooting your phone gives you access to the root of the file system, but is does not change any ordinary functionality of your phone. So you can perform a factory reset whether you are rooted or not. Also, I would be surprised if there is any connection between rooting the phone and overheating. It is more likely that the overheating is related to something you installed, either before or after rooting.
It is best to perform a factory reset from within recovery. Boot into stock 3e recovery and perform a "wipe data/factory reset." Before you do so, make backups of anything that you do not want to lose in the data partition, such as text messages, address book, call logs, etc. The data on your sdcard will not be affected.

Hi. Long story short, my gf's lg l fino decided to stop systemUI and now we can't do anything on the phone. She asked me to at least backup one app bc she doesn't want to loose its data, so factory reset is not an option.
She didn't install/modify/uninstall any app before it happened (no memory, lol).
Phone is full stock, without root or TWRP - clean.
Is it possible to do such thing? I think I can get into recovery mode (first time I failed, but it was bc i didn't know which button had to be pushed) and then wipe cache or install TWRP but still:
Is there any way to backup one app with its data and restore it on another phone without doing it with systemUI? Or there is a way to repair systemUI?
Also if its possible i should backup all contacts from her phone. Without UI i cant do it ;/
Thanks for any help.
Edit:
Phone is dead right now, if there will be a need, I will do factory reset.
By far I restarted phone in emergency mode, turned off Google app and after reboot I was able to copy the apk and contacts.
Looks like Google apk is causing this problem.
Sry if it's too late, but you could flash the kdz for your device via lg flash tool.
No data will be erased if you select 'normal flash'.
Yup, too late. I took what i needed from the phone and now its dead.
But what is kdz?
