[android-developers] Re: copy wiped/ raw data from android to sd-card (data recovery)
The easiest method to transfer data is by copying the data on the memory card of your android and then placing it on the sd card. You can also copy the files from the Android on a computer and transfer them to the sd card via a USB cable. More information from: http://www.recovery-android.com/android-transfer.html http://www.recovery-android.com/ 在 2009年7月1日星期三UTC+8上午3时41分54秒，Unrealshade写道： Hello Android Developers, I wanted to know if it is possible to copy the raw data of the internal phone storage to the sd-card of the phone (or to some other device, maybe through internet/ usb/ bluetooth connection). Maybe even further, could users then read the raw data, so they can recover what they lost? The reason for me to ask this is that i had to wipe my G1 and read about recovering data, but there seems to be no way - not a the moment at least.

I don't know how hard it really is, but i know it's not going to be easy and i won't get discouraged by some people who only say it's impossible or think that I am not skilled enough to do this.

Re: [android-developers] Re: copy wiped/ raw data from android to sd-card (data recovery)
Hello, well two years ago I wasn't able to find anything about what I wanted to do anywhere with Google Search. Of course, even however desperate one's situation seems, not wiping in the first place probably has a higher success rate of recovering your data after a wipe. Or at least that was what I thought two years ago when I couldn't find anything about it. The only thing I can tell you and everyone is that I installed a CyanogenMod rom after wiping, because it had busybox on it and did a dd command to a directory I can't remember, but I think I asked for it on the group here so you should be able to find it (ask again if not). However I did not try to get anything out of the copied raw data. It felt too difficult to motivate me to try it. I was just happy that I finally copied what theoretically could be the raw data of what is left of my data. Good luck and let me and everyone here know if you achieved something! - Hide quoted text - On Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 15:58, someone wrote: Hi, I have a similar issue to what you have posted and wanted to know if you have found any suitable solution.
