Its just very important that you make a correct image of your phone.
Hello its me again. Can u tell me how to make a correct image of my phone ?
Yes, right. I had wipe my memory. But after that i never use this phone. So i think it is the chance.
There is definetely a chance. Files aren't completely removed from the storage until they are overwritten by new files.
Its just very important that you make a correct image of your phone.
So you can try to recover those files on an image without hurting the storage of your phone.
You should make sure that your mobile won't be auto-updating any applications or whatsoever.
Just turn it on, activae USB-debugging, make an image, copy that image and load this image into your recovery software.
Chances are pretty high you will be successfull.
The wallet/app was stored on your internal storage, right?
Ok so i wait for new lcd from shop. I will repair phone and after that turn debugging on.
I hope i dont fucked it when i was trying to use on my pc some applications like android wondershare samsung recovery itp.. ..
But thanks for info man !!

Could you just “export wallet” and specify [wallet.dat] location to desired location? If possible..
Thats not an option for OP currently.
- His display is broken
- He has wiped his memory (factory reset)
He made a backup in terms of copying his files from his mobile over to his PC.
His only options seems to be to create an image of his mobile and try to recover those deleted files.

Only chance is for using tools like android recovery.
Recuva is ok ? What are You think?
Recuva is ok ? What are You think?
Recuva should be fine. But i would highly suggest you create a (forensic) image (better: two) of your phone before you try to recover stuff.
I personally would simply use DD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)) to create such an image. Afterwards you can try whatever software you want (on the image).
The other image should be held as an backup, which you can later copy again to try another forensic tool (if you somehow messed up with your first image).
Ok thanks for info. So i will repair my lcd and try do it ! First i need to enable USB debuggin mode. I hope i dont crash my storage becouse one week ago i was trying to recover data with wondershare android recovery for samsung (without lcd and withoud usb debugging mode on). I hope i dont Overwrite anythink..

You'll probably find that your "wallet file" was stored in the "/data/data" directory tree... If you only did the "ctrl+c/ctrl+v" from within Windows Explorer, then chances are, you did NOT copy your wallet file.
"/data/data" is a protected system folder... and generally only visible if you have rooted your phone and are using a phone/file explorer with root permissions.
The files you see in Windows Explorer when you connect your device to your PC (using "MTP" mode) will generally only be files/folders that are in the "storage" areas like /sdcard or /extsdcard etc.
However, if you created a backup of your wallet file from within the app, the backup file is generally placed on the (internal/external) "/sdcard" which SHOULD show up when you connect your phone to your PC.
Ok. So was coppied only "normal" folder.."/data/data" is a protected system folder... and generally only visible if you have rooted your phone and are using a phone/file explorer with root permissions.

Anyway I can use a wondershare andorid recovery. I need to set usb debuggin mode and try to recover all files before factory reset. Unfortunetly i cant find backup wallet file.

It is possible to make ctr c + ctr v and dont copy this file becouse it was hidden or somethink like that (or chmod permission , whatever) .. ?
I can't say for sure, but this can be true. You can test this by installing the wallet on your phone again, and trying to repeat what you did before. I just plug in my phone to the pc and ctr+c and ctr+v all folder from my samsung galaxy to the computer. But im afraid i cant find here similar folders/files like "wallet" etc
