My phone had not been rooted (didn't think I needed to), and I went ahead with the Reset. I figured that if I tried a Factory Reset, it would only be a small pain to re-download the apps, and I might lose some data such as game scores. At the time, I thought it was no big deal since most of my data (emails, contacts, voice messages) were stored safely in the cloud. Hope I don't f*** up the phone again like that, doh.ĭata Loss? Sadly, last week my Droid Incredible got stuck in a reboot loop that I was unable to get it out of. ![]() Since non important files has been removed, needed by the system (also confirmed by Sony Support), I'm clear to start using the phone. Took contact again, and was now told that, it's not possible to restore files like sample pictures and videos, unless I send it to a local service center. Tried it, and also tried updating through PC Companion. They suggested running a repair through PC Companion (PC software). Didn't recreate the original files placed on the internal storage by Sony.Ĭontacted Sony Support today. Trying to factory reset the phone again later today, and see what happends.Įdit 2: Well, did the factory reset again with the tick set. Are they not recreatable? Isn't it indeed possible to recreate the phone to it's original state, as the factory reset claim to do? If the factory reset claims to reset your phone to the state you recieved it in from the factory, then I'm truly scared, since old data would reside in the internal memory, on phones that I've wiped and sold.Įdit: Ohh, just found out, that a tick should be set, when doing the factory reset for erasing data on the internal storage. ![]() This means that I manually have to delete files, when wiping the phone, or what? Also, original files from Sony wasn't present/recreated after the factory reset, like sample pictures and videos. I thougt everything was wiped when doing the factory reset. Files that was placed on the internal storage by me, still resided there after the reset, which astounded me. From reading several posts, I thought the phone would be brought back to original state, as when I turned it on the first time. Well, I went ahead and tried doing a factory reset. How does the internal storage work? Are there files residing here, that the system depends on, and which needs to be recreated? Since I did the sync, and new files has been placed on the internal storage, I think a restore might be out of scope, or what? Again, if I can restore the files, by doing a factory reset, I'll just do that. Will a factory reset rebuild the folder/file structure on the internal storage back to as when recieved from the factory? As mentioned before, I havn't placed files (only some ringtones) on the internal storage, so I don't think I'll be missing anything. Tried to copy all folders, but was only able to copy a few. Funny thing is, that when I connected the handset to my PC, I could see the folders, that was gone when browsing with file explorer tool on handset. I've had my handset turned off to, which also returned some folders I could recognize. Then the folder "Android" appeared, and others has show up in the time after the sync. My mistake was not syncing to at dedicated folder on the internal storage, instead of the root. I set up sync from Dropbox to Internal storage, which resulted in only (first) the folders from my Dropbox appearing on internal storage. I installed DropSync to sync folders between my Dropbox and the internal storage. ![]() I'm on a non-rooted Sony Xperia Z3 running Android 4.4.4. I'll be more specific, since I forgot this.

Haven't found an aswear to whether a factory recovery would rebuild the internal storage. Since I've synced other files to the internal storage, I guess a recorvery is waste of time. I have no idea whether the files are necessary or not, and the phone seems to work fine. A don't mind doing a factory reset of the phone, if this means that the internal storage will be build up again to a normal state. I have only used my phone fore some days, and didn't have any data (of my knowledge) on the internal storage, that I've put there. My question is, how do I recover the files that resided on the internal storage. Well, all files are gone, except the folders synced from Sropbox and the Android folder.
