Contact Recovery - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Dear all,
I have a problem like this:
1. I had actived Permanent Save
2. But I unintentionally I deleted all of Contacts
3. So, when I tried to hard-reset, I restore from Permanent Save it was gone
My question:
Actually Permanent Save saves the data in Storage Card, as you know that a formatted hard-disk still can be recovered, so is there any tool to recover all data of Contact from SD Card?
Thanks a lot for your support.

when you put an sd card in a sd card reader it can be undeleted from just like any harddisk
you just pick the sdreader drive rather then the hd

Recovery

SD Backup Problem: unknown restore information error on XDA

hi all,
i'm glad that i've found you !
i've got a big problem:
i made a backup using sd backup, then i made a hard reset.
this have i done, because i get always the information that my flash-rom memory is full (store data permanently: contacts, calendar)
because of this i made a backup using sd backup storing all my informations and data on the sd card using this program.
then i testet my pda again, syncronizing with the pc and i stored all my contacts and appointments on the pda.
i was wondering because i got the information again that my backup ram is full.... (but there is nothing else on the pda, only winCE)
i thought "Shxxt" and became frustrated.
now i wanted to write my data back to the pda, because i wanted only to do this test, what will happen if there will be nothing else on my pda stored.
here begins my problem:
i've stored a lot of sms/mails in my pda which i want not to loose, only for this i made this backup (i never use again this badly program!)
i'm having now a 20 MB backup file which won't be written back to my pda. i have already done the following:
formatting the sd card (size 128 MB) using a card reader on FAT and FAT32, but the file won't be read.
then i connected the pda to the syncstation and transferred the file to the card, which is sitting in the xda.
which way i'm going, the xda tells me every time, he cand read the file.
now i'm asking you, how to get the mail / sms from the file.
where are they stored ? can i read them manually ?
maybe i can use a program which can read data from these backupfiles which are called: CompactFlashBackUpNew
maybe i can use a "virtual xda" or something else.
maybe there will be a way to put the data pack on this xda ?
i've testet something other:
having 2 sd cards (128 mb and 16 mb)
i made a backup from the cold bootet machine, which is only usind 2 MB, this i wrote sucessfully back.
but why won't eat my maching the file which is 20 MB ???
maybe there will be a way which i haven't seen yet ??
W H Y ?
<veryangryaboutthisbackupprogramandthinkingtothrowthexdaaginatthewall>
i only need the informations stored in this file, nothing else !
PLS help me.
yours andre
You have to use the restore application on the SD backup and do a soft reset to be able to see the information you backed up.
However, if you reformated the SD card you likely lost the information
What Operating systems ROM are you using?

How to recover sdcard data?

Hi folks,
I got this 16G sdcard that from one day to another it stopped being recognized saying "blank card or has unsupported file system"
Besides the data, I had some applications installed on it.
I did tried to recover with a software, but even the software only can recognize space is occupied, but can't see it.
Anyone have any possible tip to share?
Thanks
You can try GetDataBack application
Once I accidentally deleted many fotos from my camera sd card.
To recover it i used GetDataBack windows application. With the free version you can search your sd card and see what files it can find. It found all my photos at the time.
But at the moment you press the recover button, it requires you to buy it for 80 dollars :'(
I suggest you to download the GetDataBack FAT version and see if it can find your files.
If it works, then you have to decide if you'll buy it or not. After recovering the files, the file names were all wrong. But at least i got to save my pictures
Hope this helps you.

On Unix/GNU/Linux or whatever you call it, you can press CTRL+H to show hidden files, then there usually appears .recovery or .lost or similar where the deleted files are stored.
If not try this search for a lost data recovery Android app:
google. de/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=recover+deleted+data+android+app&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=xVA-UuWtBom10wWjrIHQBA
Or use one of these Open Source programs:
cgsecurity. org/wiki/PhotoRec
kickassundelete.sourceforge. net
zdnet. com/blog/digitalcameras/how-to-recover-deleted-photos-from-your-sd-card/1102

I bet you it's a Kingston. But you should tell us what it is and what devices you've been using it on, when it failed??
See this: SD Corruption in Xperia Z
The tool to use for recovery, if at all possible, is ZAR 9.2.

Try SD Card Recovery
Recuva!
Recuva is a great option. I've never used it to recover data from an SD card, but I HAVE used it successfully to recover date from my Windows machine when the hard drive crashed and all my data was deleted, and it has the ability to recover SD cards. This product, unlike some of those already suggested that are only free to download and analyze your system, is TOTALLY free.

Please delete the space in the above links to follow. I'm too new on XDA to post links yet apparently!
Hope this helps!
I think you should try better recovery software like Remo Recover. It may help you to recover your data from SD card if it is not overwritten.
You can easily rescue your SD card data by employing a good SD card recovery utility. One good data recovery tool is there, have a look over it- http://youtu.be/AgRgEvF4HFM
Recuva works great on SD cards as well. I second using this.
I recommend using it over EASEUS Data Recovery. With Recuva it can restore original file name and path and tells you if the file has is in good condition to restore or has been overwritten by other data.

This is a serious problem. I think when you have lost some data from the SD card the only solution is to go to the manufacturer or to the shop where you bought it and ask for repair. There is way to repair the data as I know but you need to be very experienced, so you have to get support.
Have you lost your data from SD card? Do need to worry there is a tool which is known as Remo Recover which can easily assist you to get back data from your SD card.
I will try it. Sandisk provider ingram is not replacing my sd card. Unfortunately i bought it from snapdeal. I didnt got an invoice. Ingram is asking invoice for the replacement. I have the cover and sd card

[HELP] Formatted SD Card Recovery

Sorry if this is the wrong section.
Yesterday i moved my SD Card Akyta 16GB from my old 4.4.2 tablet to a 6.0 phone.
The phone requested the SD Card to be formatted, so i did it because i had no choice, now i found out that all of my photos, videos and music were on the SD Card instead of the old tablet, so i lost everything :/
I know that there's a plenty of Recovery Software, but the majority requires a Card Reader, and I don't have one.
Do you guys know any Software for recovering media which support "Portable Device" mode and don't require a Card Reader? I tried with Remo Recover but after one try the program itself won't launch, i reinstalled it many times (I have Windows 7 x86 Ultimate)
I am waiting for your suggestions, i repeat, programs that don't need Card Readers. I tried every Playstore recovery software and they only show photos that are on the phone right now (undeleted photos, unharmed).
PS: My phone is rooted with SuperSU 2.79.
Salam Alaykum.
Best option is
Buy or borrow a card reader and restore on PC.
Be careful apps / software do not write on sd card because they will make recovery files that you formatted more difficult / impossible.
I can read and I know this is not the answer you r waiting for but believe me it is your best option.
On pc use Recuva from Piriform. Or Get data Back Simple Data Recovery from Runtime Software LLC.
If you do use any app on phone or tablet please try pc method with card reader after all also if the app on phone or tablet did not recover all files.
In that way you have more chance all files recovered.
I still think pc method is the best option but I'd if you will try any app if it exist on android.
I would be very careful before letting app recover files instead of a pc program!!
Goodluck and let u know if u got ur data back and how you got it back. ! :good:

Formated microSD in android, cant recovery files even with softwares

My microSD was almost full and I kept takeing pictures with my phone then feel day after I realize that I has noone of photos saved, then when I tried access micro sd a message shown saying that my sd was corrupted.
So I tried to use a small usb adapt with sd in windows and explorer could not show the memory properly to access it and then I realize if I format in android I could then recovery the files in windows after.
I formated to use to share files betwen pc and android, now I tried Ease, Recuva and some others recovery softwares and all of them cant show my old files even with deep scan and using the original microsd-to-sd adaptator. Tried some store apps too, they dont even run in my android.
I did not write upside the files I had but android automatically put a lot of folders inside, no one with much amount of files.
So now I ask, can a diferent software or trick take my old files back? this micro sd is old, I had important files from 2010 there. :crying:
Ive mi a3 with android 9. 16g c16g micro sd
Recovery will depend on if you encrypted the SD or not. If the SD was previously encrypted you will not be able to recover any of the files. That is kind of the point of encryption.
If you did not encrypt the SD and Recuvva failed you may still be able to recover some of the files. I had a similar issue where I knew the deleted files were on the drive and while Recuvva managed to pull a few it was not finding the one that I really needed. This lead me to looking for other recovery programs online. I Googled "apps similar to recuvva". I found a site with 10 programs like recuvva and I found one in that list that worked. I did have to try 3 or 4 to find that one but it not only found the file I needed but it found about a dozen more that I didn't even know I was missing. I would tell you which program it was but I don't remember and I uninstalled it after using it.
Best wishes.

While I have your ear, backup backup backup… I really can't say it enough. I hate to see people on here who've lost memories or important docs because they didn't back them up. Google provides so many ways to backup all for free. Google Drive will backup your docs and files, Google Photos will backup your photos and videos, Gmail Contacts will backup your contacts. Many carriers also provide backup options. Verizon Cloud will essentially backup your device similarly to iTunes. It doesn't backup your game progress and all of that, I think iTunes does, but it will backup your texts, files, settings, contacts and photos.

IMHO it mainly depends on Android SD card's filing system whether there is a chance to recover data after having formatted it. For an Android device, the compatible file system of external storage is FAT32 or exFAT.
To unformat the SD card in Android phone to get back the deleted files, I suggest you to try iBeesoft Data Recovery. It is designed for users to unformat SD card on Android phone specially.
Here are the simple steps for how to use iBeesoft Data Recovery to unformat SD card in Android phone:
Step 1. Install iBeeSoft Data Recovery software on computer
Step 2. Connect your Android device with computer
Step 3. Select "Unformat File Types"
Step 4. Select Formatted SD card to scan
Step 5. Unformat SD card in Android phone

Samsung Encrypted Memory card help to Decrypt

Hi all
I have a Samsung S20 Ultra with a memory card that all of my photos are saved to, unfortunately I had to take my phone into Samsung experience store for a screen / back cover repair, the staff removed my Memory card and told me to factory reset due to GDPR as the device had to be sent away, when my device returned in the post 5 days later I went to put the memory card back in and a notice appeared stating the memory card is encrypted to a different device! I am totally devastated as there are pictures of my father who has passed away and other images that they are the only copies I have, I know now I should have unencrypted the memory card before the factory reset. I have spoken to Samsung directly so say there is nothing that can be done.
does anyone know of a way I can get round this I would be so very grateful!
Thanks in advanced
Stu
The best thing I could suggest is a third party solution that may be able to decrypt the information on the card, such as FeExplorer. Check to see if you have a "Decrypt SD card" option in the Lock Screen and Security settings, although I suspect it won't be able to do it.
The problem is, the encryption key is unique and stored in user data. When data is wiped during a factory reset, the key is wiped as well, so even if the user configures the same lock settings (password, pattern, etc) they key would be different.
I am not aware of an absolute solution, but here is what I would strongly suggest you do:
If able, make sure the contents of the card are backed up. Use cloud storage such as Google Drive.
Keep the card in a safe place; maybe put it in a small envelope or something, and mark it in such a way as to discourage accidental discarding or wiping.
Buy a new SD card to use in the meantime while you look for a way to recover the information on the encrypted card.
I am sorry for your loss, and I wish I had a better answer for you.
Edit: Found this on another site, maybe it's worth a try. MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP THE DATA ON THE CARD IN CASE THIS GOES WRONG.
On a PC: Copy (the encrypted and unreadable) contents of the sd card from the phone to your harddrive
On the phone: Settings -> Storage -> Sd Card -> Format sd card (this erases all the data on the sd card but don't worry you have a copy on the PC)
On the phone: Settings -> Security -> Encrypt sd Card (should be real fast since it's an empty sd card)
On the PC: Copy the contents of the sd card onto the phone
On the phone: Settings -> Security -> Decrypt sd card (edit: this may take a while depending on how much data was on the card)
sorry but none of the above "solutions" makes any sense. it is not possible to recover data. encryption key was located /data/misc/vold and /data itself was encrypted, too. Furthermore one can't access /data aka userdata partition.
BUT... and here comes the but.. adoptable-storage usually is DISABLED in One UI
So how is it possible your MicroSD Card is encrypted at all? It's not, except you have installed custom ROM or installed any 3rd party encryption tool (you would remember)
There is a good chance your MicroSD Card is plain exFAT or Fat32 unencrypted file system. I recommend to use a card reader for PC and make a 1:1 dump with gddrescue and analyze the dump with photorec or other file carver solutions.
There exist tools for windows too, for example
https://www.klennet.com/carver
https://www.z-a-recovery.com
https://www.runtime.org
Don't buy any software if your MicroSD Card is encrypted, it will definitely not work.
You can easily check if your MicroSD Card is encrypted by opening raw disk image with HxD hex editor and search for any plain text or series of zeros. gparted or testdisk will tell you if partition table exist

when you put an SD card into a Samsung ultra it asks if you want to encrypt it through their own software, no third party apps were used
True, I realized after posting. Samsung is always bit special, they tried to think differently... In that case your data was lost in the moment of factory reset.

Hello, have an experience that my samsung device were dead and my sd card still encrypted.
Firstly, you have to backup entire data on your sd card just in case.
And then, format your sd card using another device (maybe your another android).
Last, put your sd card to windows device and recover all data with DiskDigger software.
It's work on my sd card, give it a try.. Dont forget to backup all data
