(phone: Moto G 3rd gen, 5.1.1)
Hello,
I've been looking to recover lost data from wechat (images) for the past few days, and am still looking for a decent application/way to do this.
For example "Dr. Fone" and variants all allow you to select the same kind of stuff, but they only scan some specific folders. I would need to scan the whole internal memory.
Next step was to find out how to access the internal memory as a USB mass storage device, but that doesn't seem to work in my Android OS.
Interestingly enough "Dr. Fone" did some kind of quick-root (non destructive root) and was running a simple program on the phone itself for scanning.
I assume they rooted because the windows application said so and because from what I gathered is that Google now uses MTP by default because of a host of difficulties to simultaneous access files/partitions if you're using USB instead of MTP.
Furthermore these wechat images are located under /tencent/micromsg/WeChat, so I don't know if they are taking into account when scanning the phone.
What I'm looking for is an application like Recuva, but than for MTP devices. From what I gather is that this is not possible due to MTP.
So the next question would be: how do I gain temporary root on my device so I can for example install a USBMS enabler? After that I can use Recuva to go through it.
Or another question would be what application allows me to not only select the default categories, but just give me a folder structure and/or list of files (preferably with a filetime and a preview)?
Thanks!
