[Q] Recover images ADB

Hi i have an Htc Hd Mini with ICS in nand, i've broken the display and the touch doesn't work anymore! I want to recover images in internal storage with ADB pull command but i cannot remember where it is located the folder with the images.
And when i connect the device to the pc i cannot display it as masse storage, it charge only the battery! Please help me thank you

if you mean your SDCard contents.. why not pull SDCard from photon and use an adaptor or something else to connect to PC,

No no, the images are in the internal memory (the memory of the telephone) and i can connect the phone only with ADB (no mass storage or htc sync)!

This may help you:

Click to expand...

If you have adb you could try Far Manager 2.0 with FARDroid plugin to see all your filesystem in the phone.
If you are not familar with FAR, pm me if you need help with it.

Thank you! I've downloade Far Manager and Fardroid plugin. Can you help me using this tool? I want to see the filesystem of my phone, but the touchscreen is broken and i want to save photos! Thank you again

[Q] External SD not working after custom ROM install...

I'm relatively new to this but up until now I've had no problems so far... So I just upgraded to the latest version of Jamal's 4.4.2, following the proper install method, clearing data and caches in CWM.
I DL'd Titanium Backup and tried to change my backup location to where I store my apps which is on my SD however upon selecting /extsdcard it says that 'this folder is not writable'. Using a file manager and attempting to access external just displays an empty folder. However, going into settings-storage shows that the SD card is mounted and displays the correct size/available space.
If I unmount then mount the card it seems to function again, I am able to access the files in a file manager. That is until I go back into Titanium Backup. Now it does something different here if I press 'DETECT!', it finds my backups and displays the correct amount and path on the external however upon selecting them it takes me to the appropriate folder and says 'This folder is not writable' and 'this folder is empty.' and Use the current folder' is greyed out. The external sd is then back to displaying nothing in the file managers again.
I've tried wiping and re-installing the ROM, but it still carries on doing the same thing. I've searched in the ROM's thread and other places and I haven't been able to come up with any solution so I'd be grateful if you could shed some light into this issue and possibly offer a potential fix?

this issue is hard.Im not a developer,but I think you need change an another firmware or change a new TF card.so you can know what's the problem.But I have a damaged TF card have the similar problem.but due to I have no important file in it ,I throw it out
hope I can help you

[Q] Data loss

Hello there,
I have recently experienced a very serious problem in my Z1 running Lollipop. I lost every single file located in my internal and external sd card, such as photos, .obb files from /android folder and everything else. The problem occured when I connected the phone to PC via MTP, and deleted the, phenomenically, empty folder tree from my internal sd card '/emulated/legacy'. After that, Windows Explorer didn't respond, and after restarting my PC, I realised that both memories were empty. I immediately disconnected my phone, run a file explorer and experienced the same results. I even rebooted to TWRP, which approved the loss of my data.
What I think that caused the problem: The deletion of the 'empty' folder tree, as it corresponds with the one located in root/storage/ of my phone, and appears to be the mount location of both internal and external sd card, and which, somehow, made it way to the insternal sd card.
What I did: I immediately removed the MicroSD card, and powered off the phone, in order to prevent the 'free' space to be overwritten. After that I created two system dumps. One of userdata.img (mmcblk0p12), and one of the whole system mmcblk0, in order to try recovering my data. Then, I installed Ubuntu and TestDisk to check the two dumps. What the program recovered were the thumbnails from the /DICM/.thumbnails folder, some images and videos from programs cache (such as ads), and even some tagged faces from pictures of the Album application, but not the pictures themselves. I also tried the same process, but by using Recuva on Windows but nothing changed. Finally, what I tried, was mounting the insternal memory as mass storage under Ubuntu, by using Go-mptfs, but I wasn't succesfull as I experienced problems during the installation and device mounting process. I didn't find any scripts for Lollipop in order to swap the two partitions on the device itself.
Is there anything else I can do?

Plz help Lost all data after SDCARD0 folder delete

Guys as usual I was talking backup via PC.
I found two folders into my Internal memory named SDCARD0 & SDCARD0.
I thought it must be a duplicate and deleted one of them.
Immediately I found I lost all my data from Internal memory.
Folders like whatsapp, dcim, movies and all other whcih were created by other apps got lost.
So has i actually accidentally deleted them due to sdcard0 folder or they are present but HIDDEN somewhere?
Coz still my internal memory says 3.60gb free which was same size before doing this unusual accident.
My phone hasnt got any root access.
Please how can I get back my files in this case?
My all apps r functioning properly except they lost all their custom settings...
What can be done to get my data back from Internal memory?

What you can do is, NEVER DELETE SUCH FOLDERS AGAIN.

To be aware of this in future, have a backup via foldersync or similar...
The chance that ull get ur data back going against zero...sorry

-EDIT: REQUIRES ROOT-
Oh you can do it. Did it myself a few weeks ago..
Check out this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705

is there no way of running recovery software when plugged into a PC? I know I saved a lot of data from a camera while back by scanning its memory in recova or something similar while hooked up via usb

You should do some research first if you don't know something

[Q] OTG Cardreader's root Location in Rootbrowser?

I got a otg-cable which has a USB port and a SD/micro SD card slot. It works fine (I can browse files when tapping on notification icon, card is empty/formatted), however, does anyone know where it's root folder is located? I can't find it with rootbrowser or root explorer.
Tried /mnt/ but there's nothing related, not even ext-sd, only the usual SDCard (internal storage), and i tried most other folders, just can't find it...
I want to backup my flashable (ROM) files from internal to my SD card without the need for a PC (which i currently don't have).
I'm using CM13.0 Snapshot on a G2-d802
anyone??

Just a thought: If the drive is indeed mounted and accessible, you could try the "df" command in Terminal Emulator to see a list of partitions and their mount points.

I have already found it. Apperantly i did not get through all folders in "/mnt". It's root-folder is located at "/mnt/media_rw/XXXX-XXXX/". I'm not sure how i messed that the first few times.
Thanks for your reply though, at least you took the time to actually make one
