Any recovery tools are useless if your phone is not debugging mode enabled or download mode state.

And honestly even you backup the data it's still useless because if you back up the system files or all files of your bitcoin wallet you can't just install it on other smartphones. It is not just the same to the desktop wallet and backup only wallet.dat and you can import wallet.dat into other laptop or desktop.

If you have a broken Samsung Galaxy S4 the only way that you can get your bitcoin out from your broken Samsung s4 is to fix the LCD. LCD price is around $10=$25

as a technician, I can buy LCD around that price, but I don't know if you are customers maybe above the price.

Regarding factory reset, you cannot perform the hard reset or factory reset because android recovery has menu option to choose if what you wanted to do with your phone.

So, I think your files and data still exist on your phone. The only way you can do right now is to fix your LCD. Just fix your phone if you think its worth it. if you hold a large amount of bitcoin you must fix it and transfer your bitcoin to your new wallet.

Guys GOOD TIMING

I have already received my lcd from China and i now need time to repair this phone..

I then have to dump all the memory from my phone to my computer first. How to do it best way??

No, don't dump or backup your files from your phone it's useless better to directly send your bitcoin to your new bitcoin wallet just to be safe. If you dump them it's useless because I heard that someone dump or they fully dump the firmware including the file, but when they recover it back to the phone they found that they don't have any funds from their wallet. So first better to send them first to your new bitcoin account just to be safe or backup your private key and seed phrase so that you can recover or transfer it to other wallet.

But I do not understand what you are writing at the moment.
How can I send bitcoins to an address if I do not have them? Wallet (with my bitcoin gift) has been erased with a hard reset and the only option is to restore data with a recuva program.

I've never seen anyone with such luck Tongue

There are several programs that recover android data from your PC, unfortunately the best are paid.
I recommend the "U.Fone Toolkit - Android Data Recovery". First, test the free version to see if it works

Also recommend this from a reputable publisher, or this one recommended by androidpit.

This is really a hard case because you Factory Reset your SS phone without backup data ( i guess because i don't see you mention it, and if not there will not be this thread).

- How to transfer every data from my samsung galaxy s4 to my pc without LCD (lcd for SG4 was crashed)

- First you need to recover your phone's data. In this case, you must use data recovery software, there are many different software, free and paid fee. For me, the best free software i have used is Gihosoft Android Recovery Free, it also has paid fee option, you can try or find better software. You don't need to repair your LCD screen because this process occur on your computer and recovered data come back into your comouter

- then, Should i use app for windows (like recuva ) or mby try doing somethink from Linux os ?

- I think windows apps can't be used for recovery phone data.

Quote from: tumis on January 31, 2018, 05:53:34 AM

- Which method will be the best ?

- Using a android professional data recovery software, as i recommend below.

You can. They work the same.

Have you actually used it before?

It's not. Every android wallet that I know of does not store the backups nor any related files that is called wallet or wallet.dat, especially if it has existed since 2015.

If you didn't make a backup of your wallet anywhere, it would probably be as good as gone. Take the Bitcoin Wallet from Bitcoin Wallet Developers on Google Play as an example. They have backups available for their user but it is only generated on request. Else, they are only accessible by a secure partition on the device. The chance would be slim but the only thing you can do is to root your phone and try to recover everything inside it.

So bad news ;/ My stupid factory reset agrrr

Firstly, I need a few questions before helping you

1) Do you have the private seed for your Bitcoin Wallet

2) What is the present phone you are using now ? If you are still using a Samsung you can port the data easily over

3) Which Bitcoin Wallet are you using?

4) If the Bitcoin inside the Bitcoin wallet is huge enough ,you may try to repair the LCD screen of the phone.

1. I dont understand . What do you mean private seed ??
2. No , no. As i told Yo . u. I was did a factory reset while my phone lcd is crashed. So i dont using my samsung anymore becouse i cant do it ^^ So it is good for me i hope no data was overwrite.
3. Yes, im not sure but on 95% it was Bitcoin wallet app (with this orange standard icon btc)
4. not its not huge but if i repair lcd i will still haven got my data becouse i was did a factory reset as i told

My Q. Even i will restore my data. Where should i looking for to find this btc ? How it look ? In which folder ?
