Hi everyone,
I am in some trouble. I have accidentally deleted all my photos from my Samsung Galaxy S2 before a couple of hours. They were stored in Camera folder of my phone Gallery. Plus I have deleted one hidden folder as well which contained my personal data (videos) which was very important.
I know I should have been more careful, but I cant help it now. I searched on internet about how can I recover my lost data, but didn't come to any conclusion. Now, you guys on this forum are my last hope to get my data back if I can.
Is there ANY way its possible to recover the data that I have deleted? Please let me know guys, I need your expertise to resolve this problem.
I am having Samsung Galaxy S2 [GT-I9100 model] [ Android version: 2.3.3]
Thanks a million...
Hi. I want to help you and I help how much as possible so.
I see somewhere can you search in Google: how to recover deleted photos/data on android ?

Hi Jokesy,
Thanks a lot for the link. I went through it, I installed that software as well. but the problem is that, the software shows ONLY my computer hard drive. it just doesn't show my mobile disk.
Means, I have connected my mobile through the USB cable. So it shows "connected" on my mobile screen. But that software just doesn't pick it up. I can restore the files that I have deleted from my PC but not from my mobile. I haven't kept the option for USB debugging ON, its OFF. But I am not sure if that has anything to do with this. Because when I tried with USB debugging: ON, it still doesn't show my mobile storage in the software console. I don't have any external SD card, I have lost my data from my PHONE memory, the one we get inbuilt [11GB].
Is there a way I can make the software detect my phone memory and try to restore my deleted data? Any help would be appreciated

You need to connect your phone as mass storage.
Enable USB debugging under application settings, then reconnect your phone again to your Pc

I did that, but for some reasons, its just not showing my mobile as external storage. It just shows me 2 new drives like Removable Disk H: and Removable Disk I:. But when I click on them it asks me to "please insert a disk into drive". So basically when I do the debugging: ON, my phone is not getting detected a a storage unit. But on the phone it says that "USB Connected, select the files to copy from your computer". But the photorec software, still doesn't pick it up.
Is there anything that I am missing? Attaching the snapshots... :crying:
Do you really know how to use your mobile phone?
When you connect your phone, open your notification drawer and turn on USB storage!

Got it now, I am so sorry. Stressed up
Will let you know how it goes...
Way to copy & paste from here (Yes it was that obvious the words weren't yours).
When you deleted something in your phone, first remember not to use your phone again, including text, calling,and try to recover the data you want first. After that, you may use you phone.
I also recommend using google drive and google+. All my photos and videos are there. 15 gigs on standard and if you download quickoffice on your device and link with google drive u will receive another 5 or 10 gigs. I presume 20 -25 Gb is more than enough. The best part ? A good wi-fi connection and google drive installed on the PC and phone and you can access your files anywhere. Add astro file manager for transfering files from internal memory to google drive and viceversa.

Have you gone to Google play store and done a search for "undelete".
I have accidentally deleted stuff in the past and this worked for me. I can't remember which on I used... Will search and edit it in. undeleter by fahrbot. I even shelled out for the premium version. So must have liked it.

Please help,
My hd2 will not boot, I get the message "this device is unable to boot because you have turned it off incorrectly or tried to install an application from an untrusted source. press volume up to reset.... ...this operation will delete all data".
Memory card is okay, but I had important documents and photos on the phone which i need before I reset the phone. How can I access these? I have tried active sync but it is not detecting the phone.
thanks for any help
I really dont think you will be able to, if you cant boot then you have no access to the device memory..............
Hi,
Ive got the phone in bootloader now and when I connect it, the computer recognises it but it is not displayed in the explorer window.
Any ideas?
Cheers

I stil dont think it will work. pretty sure you need wm to boot before you can access the memory.
sorry.
Hi,
If this phone belonged to Osama BinLaden, I dont think the FBI would reset it, im sure they would find a way to get the documents off. I am so frustrated.

Maybe OBL would do regular backups and not rely on just one device for important documents.
Since he does his blogging on cassette tapes, I think he will still be using a Nokia 3210.

Looks like an iPhone user to me..............
@ the op
I wasnt suggesting that its impossible to get to the data, but I dont think it will be possible for you to get to the data..........
if you still have no success after booting without the sd card inserted and applying HSPL ( not sure that will work but its worth a try.....) then I would give up if I were you.
I suppose a repair centre may be able to remove the internal memory and copy the data for you maybe not but that would be about the only option left if you cannot get the phone to boot.........
Either that or you impersonate an FBI agent and try to blag access to a facility with the technology to access your phones memory under the pretense that you believe the handset contains information which may be potentially dangerous to national security, begin a romance with one of the lab technicians and attempt to sweet talk him/her into giving you the contents of the phone....
Good luck.........

As your phone is just 6days old, I think you are using stock rom. the first step to solve the problem is factory reset your phone and post results.
PS: Remember to backup ur contacts/messages and anything else, coz factory reset will bring back the phone to default.

Just Switch off your phone. Remove your Card. Switch on the phone without inserting Card. In switch on condition insert your card. See something is happening or not. It seem you are using froyo 2.2.2 and it has this bug.
If you are using same card which is given by LG and have not wiped it the it must contain PC suite and driver for your mobile. Just uninstall everything from your PC. restart it. Install PC suite without connecting mobile. After installation plug your mobile it should connect with PC suite. If any pop up asking you to map the drivers then go through that wizard. Now your suite must connect your phone.
suddenly i lost the usb connect with the pc. i cant use the usb mass storage. but previously there was no problem at all. now when i want to use the usb mass storage. i click "connect storage to pc" then plug in the usb cable. but after that nothing happened. the phone still showing "connect storage to pc". then i clicked it. it tells me to remove the cable... or just charging the phone. any advise on it? thank you so much.
PS. i am in vallianrom 2.4.2
This is so obvious that I'm sure you've already done it, but have you restarted your PC? If so, try it in a different USB port to rule out whether it's the PC or not.

i have tried to reboot my pc and my phone. tried on different usb port and even other pc. none of them can recognize my phone. very weird
I find in such cases a total removal of USB devices on that port followed by a removal of all Kies folders registry entries etc then reinstall works .

If it doesn't work on other PCs then it's more likely it's the phone that's the problem. If you have CWM or Titanium then I'd recommend doing a backup and doing a hard reset, just to see if it works after that.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

i have wiped out everything and install the rom again but still couldnt get it done.
Hi m8, I hate to say it, but I'm afraid that if by trying with another pc, the phone does not connect, you'll have to factory reset it. I had a similar problem and that was the only solution for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
try:
settings - applications - development - untick usb debugging retick it and try again.
It's more likely to be a problem on your phone's usb...
I had this problem on my X10 and it would only charge but never connect to mass storage... The only solution was to send it to be serviced...
Meanwhile a good solution to transfer files to your phone is to use any wireless sync app.. Like sugarsync, dropbox or Awesome Drop.
I strongly recommend using Awesome Drop for small files... Just download the app on your phone, go to their website on your pc and simply drop the file on the designed space and it will be synced with ur phone...
Very fast and easy... I never connect my phone to my PC again for file transfer...
I wouldn't use it for large file transfers though... Even though I have successfully transfered a ROM (250mb), some people had problems transfering large files through Awesome Drop... I recommend dropbox or sugarsync for those...

1. To see your firmware version go to system settings/about device
2. Might be you have corrupted files on your internal sd card.
Try following:
- connect your phone in UMS mode (not MTP) to PC via USB cable
- check the sd card for errors from PC: /right click > properties/tools/error-checking

Recently My phone suddenly could not do anything relate to the storage, I can not view album, it says there is nothing there, I can not find picture, can not take picture and post to Facebook or something, when i clicked into PhoTo in Facebook app , i got a pop up:
Your computer detected a USB cord and locked your phone for storage. Please disconnect the cord to see your photos
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
. And into Gallery it says found nothing .
All i guessing is my storage (sdcard and ext_card) have been locked because it detected a USB connection. I try alot of methods even wipe all date, install a new ROM.
It happened since i uninstall Mcafee antivirus by titanium backup ( or may be something else , just guessing ) I tried to reinstall it again and nothing happend, still locked.
I try to search the internet and may be i am the only one fooling around with this bug. Any idea please?
hey
Anyone Pleaseee!
