UPDATE: 2018/06/27, bootloader implies wipe and it is a dead end for Data Recovery, mount as USB Mass Storage implies root to change settings, and for Mi5 or MIUI 8 this implies flashing ROM (dead end too as implies Data overwritten) so the only method I found is this (if the device is functional) then with the RAW partition dump recover files is easy
(LEGACY-post as is solved)
I have a problem I want to solve:
Notice: This is a specific problem, please try to advice on that matter (see complications at the bottom), any help and clarification will be very appreciated.
Fact:
I deleted by mistake files on path .. sdCard / .. / Downloads (internal memory)
Seconds after mistaken-deletion, I shut off the device, to prevent overwriting.
Specs: Smartphone Xiaomi Mi5 Miui 8 (Android 6 Marshmallow) Non-rooted Stock-recovery
WiP (workflow):
I notice about USB Mass Storage instead MTP (as key feature to connect device to PC) (and use some kind of recovery app like (Recuva or R-Studio (r-tt.com))
But I don't know how to activate that (Mass Storage) on my specific device and MIUI (Android version)
Another choice is create a image dump from custom recovery (TWRP) but how to install custom recovery... ... without changing the stock ROM, ... I saw unlocked bootloader is needed
Complications:
How to recover data from (internal sdCard, eMMc | UFS), without overwriting data.
How to root (if needed) without the changing of custom-ROM (if it is possible), on this specific device.
How to install custom recovery (bootloader unlocked is needed) to make a "raw image dump" exact byte-by-byte from the recovery ( isolated image dump, to work with IT Forensics tools)
Xiaomi Mi5 (how to root, methods, if it is needed), and how to install custom recovery, TWRP (bootloader unlocking etc)
Thanks in advance, first post here (a reader for years), I hope some people lead the way ^^, I want to learn.
Xiaomi Mi5 particularities: (more info-sources will be appreciated)
- root methods (without ROM-changing)
- TWRP recovery (stock ROM if possible) => create internal memory RAW image) to work with.
- Bootloader-unlock methods and process
