PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION & TURN ON ANNOTATIONS IT HELPS! IT'S BEEN TESTED THAT USING ' mmcblk0 ' SHOULD GET YOU TO YOUR USER DATA WITHOUT TROUBLE, SO TRY THAT INSTEAD OF ' mmcblk0pXX ' **PLEASE DOWNLOAD CYGWIN IN 32BIT or x86 DO NOT DOWNLOAD 64, it doesn't work.** ONE THING I MISSED OUT!! READ DOWN HERE!!! MAKE SURE YOU PUT YOUR netcat FILES into CYGWIN installation folder. So.. put all the net cat files into this directory: "C:\Cygwin\bin" the rest of the process should work. If you memory block is wrong, please try using DiskDigger to help you find it. If it still doesn't work please download 32BIT CYGWIN. Sorry for the inconvenience! IF 0 BYTES IS A PROBLEM PLEASE LOOK AT THIS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51749186&postcount=927 Suggested by Youri Leenman DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR A BRICKED S3. IF YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE TUTORIAL PROPERLY YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM. ROOT AND RECOVER MEMORY FROM YOUR PHONE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THIS WILL WORK BEST WITH WINDOWS 7. (Thanks to Christo Boshoff for testing this!) TO WORK WITH WINDOWS 8, JUST CHANGE THE EXTRACTED FILE TO .VHD INSTEAD OF .RAW Make sure your Computer Hard Drive has Sufficient Space: If your Galaxy S3 is 16GB have at least 20GB of space on your Computer HARDDRIVE. If your Galaxy S3 is 32GB have at least 50GB of space on your Computer HARDDRIVE.

  1. great job guys! thanks a lot, you made my day!! to all who worked hard on this olution
  2. I hope someone will read this and help me out. My email is
    cleads@gmail.com.
    I have followed the 3 parts of this tutorial to the T in the last week
    and still have 0 bytes. Now I am trying to identify which part of these
    steps went wrong.
    1) I have removed cygwin 64 and ensure only 32 is on my system
    2)Busybox is not ver 1.202 as in the tutorial cz I only downloaded it
    last week and it's not that version. If this is the case, where can I
    get 1.202?
    3) I've found the memory blocks in my Galaxy Notes 3 is mmcblk0p15 for
    Recovery; mmcblk0p23 for System; mmcblk0p25 for Hidden; mmcblk0p17 for
    Backup and a whole heap of the others. I've tried all of the above
    blocks and they all 0 bytes!!!!!
    4) does Netcat have different version too? Would that make the
    difference? Again, all apps/program I downloaded was last week,
    following the tutorial links but clicked the ones that link led to. I
    believe that all my photos are still resting in heaven in my internal
    memory waiting to be recovered. If someone can help me, I will be really
    over the moon. I am praying
  3. Managed to recover 1% of my 2k+ photos , without using the phone after formatting it ... It needed to be formatted , because of encryption unsuccessful ...

    My next phone wont be android for sure ...
    I am thinking about windows phone
  4. Hey great video Billy. I was wondering if you happen to know if this method will work on Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910VZW.

    Please help me! Thank you very much!
  5. Hikaru a million thanks for this whole tutorial. But I am having a problem. I got all the way to the point of making the VHD file. I typed in VHD directly instead of RAW because I think on Windows 8 I am supposed to do that. I am trying to retrieve about 1000 photos that I lost on my internal memory of Samsung Galaxy s5 mini. It was not working at first, but finally it worked to make the VHD file. At first my computer showed the VHD file as having 16gb. Then I tried to mount it, and it said the file is corrupt. Next I checked again the VHD file had 0 bytes. And now the command will not work again in the Cygwin terminal. Any idea what happened and what I do from here? This is what I saw in the data feed:

    Shakar@KuanYin/Galaxy
    $ nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0p26.vhd
    -bash: nc: command not found
       0 B 0:00:00 [   0 B/s] [<=>                                                 ]
     
    Shakar@KuanYin/Galaxy
    $ nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0p26.vhd
    14.7GiB 2:28:40 [1.68MiB/s] [                                    <=>           ]
     
    Shakar@KuanYin/Galaxy
    $ nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0p26.vhd
       0 B 0:00:00 [   0 B/s] [<=>                                                 ]
     
    Shakar@KuanYin/Galaxy
    $ nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0p26.raw
       0 B 0:00:00 [   0 B/s] [<=>
  6. Hey, great tutorial! It worked for me! I just have a couple of questions as an extension of what was done here. The reason I started on this process was to avoid having to invest a fortune in software like Dr Fone to recover my long lost photos. I nonetheless used the trial to double check my photos were still on my S3's internal memory (which some are).
    Using mmcblk0p12, I managed to fine quite a bit, but compared to Dr Fone;s complete scan there are photos still missing. Would using mmcblk0 conduct a more holistic scan, or is that only for a different partition?
    Do I need to scan partition by partition?
    Cheers!
    (Comment is also on Part 2 video)
  7. My phone is split into different partitions and my actual sd card memory is in a partion I cant modify at all (Every option is gray) except delete volum. Help!!!!
  8. why is the mounting part necessary?
  9. hi, im using Galaxy Note 3, kitkat 4.4.4, i use this mmcblk0. but when i attach vhd, there are lots of (primary partitions), 
    i could format only one partition in two options NTFS or only FAT?

    could someone help me?
    thank you
    sorry for eng
  10. can this recover something inside /data in internal phones?
  11. Thanks a lot! KUDOS.
  12. +HikaruDesigns great job thanks for the tutorial, but ive got just one question before i actually get onto it... would it work the same way with HTC One (m7)? and if no can you show me how can i do the same for htc one?
  13. i have a question. I have been using this app call clean master, however it removed all my pictures so I panicked and I uninstalled it is there any way for me to recover my lost pictures?
  14. Could restoring my phone to a point before the wipe happened from a backup( that apparently didn't include internal storage) have overwritten something that won't show up as overwritten in recovery programs?
  15. Is there any reason that the only photos that show up are a billion random ones from the internet and ones sent or received through text messages but not ones saved in my pictures and camera folders? I have not taken any pictures or photos since the wipe.
  16. yup..
  17. Thanks for the video..
  18. so use recovery my files instead of recuva?
  19. You just want to use another recovery software, I used Recovery my Files and the difference was too much.
  20. I'm sure there is no harm in trying it, i mean you already lost it, what else can you do? try disk digger first?
