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.
