robot TL;DR:

Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) can scan a supported Xiaomi 17T for discoverable LINE messages without an existing backup. Use the Windows-only Advanced Recovery workflow with the listed Android 15 and kernel 6.6.102 configuration, then preview LINE conversations and LINE Attachments separately. Save selected results to your PC; a surviving LINE poll is a separate retained source, not a restored copy of its deleted discussion.


Ask AI for a summary

Your club's LINE poll still shows a winning option, but the messages explaining the choice have vanished. Perhaps members agreed to a quieter room only if it had step-free access, or rejected the pictured venue after a later update. Losing that discussion leaves a result without its reasoning.

To recover deleted LINE messages on Xiaomi 17T without a backup, Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) gives you a practical next step: scan available local LINE data, preview conversations and shared attachments, and save the useful records to a PC. Start by checking the poll that is still accessible, then look for the missing discussion rather than assuming a vote count tells the whole story.

Before you start

Use the Xiaomi 17T support entry

The supplied device record lists Xiaomi 17T with Android 15 and kernel 6.6.102. Check the actual model and software details before connecting it. Do not apply a different Xiaomi model's kernel or assume a software update creates the same supported configuration.

Prepare Windows without removing LINE data

Advanced Recovery is Windows-only and saves selected discoverable results to a PC, not back into LINE. Have a USB data cable and a private PC folder ready. Keep the existing app and account state; do not clear LINE storage, reinstall, log out, reset or downgrade the phone. Follow the product's connection and access prompts. Do not substitute generic Root, bootloader-unlock or flashing instructions for the displayed workflow; a lossless Root mechanism is not established by the supplied record.

Separate the poll from the deleted discussion

Write down the group, poll subject and the question the missing messages should answer. The documented recovery views cover available LINE conversations and attachments, not guaranteed recovery of the poll's voting database, historical vote changes or anonymous voter identities.

Check an existing LINE poll before searching for its lost context

Useful when the group remains accessible and you need to distinguish a retained poll result from the comments that were deleted.

  1. Step 1 Look for the old poll without creating a replacement

    Open the relevant chat and tap the plus icon at the bottom > Poll to check old polls. LINE also documents opening an existing poll through Vote now in its message, or through the chat's top menu > Notes and searching for the word poll. Inspect what is still available; you do not need to create a new poll to look for an old one.

  2. Step 2 Read the actual result and its limits

    For a closed poll whose closing message remains, See more results opens the results and voting statuses. LINE says the voter-by-option identities are unavailable if Anonymous votes was enabled. Record the poll question and options you can actually see, rather than inferring who preferred an option or why.

  3. Step 3 Check the missing decision with a participant

    Ask a member who still has their own copy for the messages about the specific condition or objection. Request the surrounding exchange, not just a screenshot of the leading option. Treat any new explanation as a new statement unless the member supplies a retained copy of the original wording.

  • These checks inspect an existing poll or an independent participant's records. They do not restore deleted chat text or reverse a deleted poll.
  • A whole-chat deletion affects other devices signed into your same LINE account, so do not treat your linked PC as a complete independent surviving conversation.

Common problems and fixes

The poll is visible but the agreement is missing

Use the LINE conversation preview to look for the relevant discussion, not only the poll's leading option. Search or filter where available for a venue name or distinctive condition. Save the actual wording you find and keep any unresolved condition separate from the vote count.

A venue photo appears without the message that rejected it

Review LINE text separately from LINE Attachments and retain only supported connections between them. A surviving reference image is not a final selection. If the rejection or acceptance message is absent, ask the organizer to confirm the current choice instead of presenting the photo as recovered approval.

No old poll is available

Do not create a replacement and describe it as the original result. Continue with the device scan for available messages and media, and ask the poll creator whether they retain a copy. The official recovery views do not establish that a scan can rebuild a missing poll or reveal its full voting history.

How to use Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android)

Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) helps you look beyond a surviving poll total to the LINE discussion you actually need. On a supported Xiaomi 17T, Windows-only Advanced Recovery scans available local app data without requiring a previous backup. You can preview conversation records, inspect LINE Attachments separately, and save selected findings to a PC for a clearer record of the discussion and its reference material.

  • Review discoverable LINE text for qualifications, objections and the organizer's wording.
  • Inspect available shared photos, videos and files independently of the conversation preview.
  • Save relevant messages and media selectively rather than collecting unrelated group discussions.

  1. Step 1 Start Advanced Recovery on Windows

    Launch Dr.Fone and go to Toolbox > Data Recovery. Select Android > Recover Android Data, choose Advanced Recovery and click Start Scan. Connect the supported Xiaomi 17T by USB when prompted and follow the on-screen device-detection instructions.

    Select Standard Recovery or Advanced Recovery
  2. Step 2 Choose LINE for the scan

    Select LINE from the available app-data categories and click Start Scan to look for the app's available records.

    Select app data types for Advanced Recovery

  4. Step 4 Review the conversation and attachment results

    Open LINE in the results sidebar and inspect available conversations, using search and filters where offered. Look for the group discussion and the wording behind the decision. Open LINE Attachments separately for available photos, videos and files, then select the useful results.

    Preview LINE conversations
    Preview LINE attachments
  5. Step 5 Recover the selected findings to a PC folder

    Click Recover and follow the prompts to choose a folder on your computer. Save the selected data and open the output to review it. This produces a PC copy rather than restoring the messages or a poll into LINE on your phone.

Conclusion

A vote count is more useful when you can understand the discussion behind it. Dr.Fone - Data Recovery (Android) offers a focused way to inspect available LINE messages, review shared reference material and keep selected findings on your PC. Download Dr.Fone for Windows, connect your supported Xiaomi 17T and start scanning for the conversation details you want back.

FAQ

  • 1. Can I recover deleted LINE messages on Xiaomi 17T without a Google Drive backup?
    The Dr.Fone device-scan route does not require an existing LINE backup. For the listed Xiaomi 17T with Android 15 and kernel 6.6.102, use Advanced Recovery on Windows to inspect discoverable LINE data and save selections to PC. Recovery of a specific discussion depends on what the scan finds.
  • 2. Can recovering LINE chats identify anonymous poll voters?
    No such capability is established. LINE states that you cannot see who voted for each option when Anonymous votes was enabled. A member's comment is not proof of their vote, and the conversation scan should not be described as a way to undo poll anonymity.
  • 3. What if the entire group conversation was only hidden?
    Use Home > Settings > Chats > Hidden chats > Edit > Unhide chat. A hidden conversation retains its history. A deleted conversation is different: receiving a new message can make it reappear, but does not restore the old deleted history.
  • 4. Will starting a LINE backup now restore the deleted discussion and media?
    No. LINE's official chat restoration requires a usable backup from before deletion. Standard Backup stores text rather than all shared media, and Premium Backup cannot roll back a manually deleted chat. Creating a backup afterward is not the no-backup recovery solution in this guide.
  • 5. Can I recover deleted LINE photos used as poll references?
    Check LINE Attachments for photos, videos and files found by the scan. You can save the available items you select to your PC. Their availability is separate from the discussion, and the scan does not guarantee that an expired original or a missing poll attachment remains locally recoverable.
