All pictures on my Samsung Galaxy S2 have accidentally been deleted. The files were on the mobiles internal memory & not a memory card. The mobile has not been rooted.

Deleted photos recovery?

It it possible to somehow recover deleted photos? My little sister deleted all the pictures from my phone (which were in the folder DCIM, in the internal 16gb storage).
If they were stored in an 'accessible' part of the phone that you'd normally be able to access when you connect your phone to your PC via USB, maybe(tho unlikely). Get Recuva (Google it) & try that. There are also recovery apps on Google Play you could try (can't vouch for them working/not working; never used them).
Backups are your friend.
I know it's not useful now, but you should use Dropbox and the automated upload feature.
hope it helps

1. connect your phone to PC via USB.. make sure your internal SD partition have been read by your computer..
2. if you were using Windows, I suggest you use GetDataBack (FAT)..
If you're rooted:

It is possible if the partition can be mounted as a ums device, but the recovery attempt should be made as soon as possible or most of it will be corrupt or unrecoverable, the more the partition is used the more the deleted data will get corrupted.

How To Recover Deleted Photos From Android Phone For Free
How To Recover Deleted Photos From Android Phone For Free[/URL], It often happens that you accidentally end up deleting all the pictures stored on the memory card of your smartphones.
Actually, the possibility of deleted photos recovery depends on how the space that was not occupied by the deleted data is it. If the space is occupied by new data, there is no chance to get them back, that is, you took new photos after you deleted the photos you want to recover. If not, you can try to use an Android Photo Recovery tool to recover them.

If you have backup, please turn to your backup immediately, all deleted pictures are here. Sync your Samsung data to backup is a good habit for us when we deleted Samsung data by accident.
But when we no have backup, you have another choice to recover deleted Samsung photos-Eelphone Samsung Photo Recovery, which can scan your Samsung directly, and you can recover from SD card. with USB debugging in your Samsung, you can recover all detected Samsung data.

You're talking about a galaxy tab 2. This is the galaxy tab 10.1 section.
dont think it is possible to restore from internal storage. i was in the same situation as you a year ago and i had to accept the fact that what's gone is gone.

Any one? really not possible?
If you are rooted you can try diskdigger from the play store. Otherwise there are several apps for windows and Linux that do the same thing for mounted drives (if you hook it up via USB). I would presume that these work from internal memory and not just SD cards but I may be wrong. Good luck.
You may try this Samsung galaxy data recovery guide which is easy to follow and can recover any lost photos video files from samsung phone internal memory.

[Q] Recover files from internal /sdcard/

Hello! I wiped my phone and then realised Nandroid doesn't backup /sdcard/ from the internal memory. I'd like to try and recover files from this folder. What's the best way to do this?
From my previous thread [Q] Restore files from Nandroid backup in the Android Q&A forum (where I discovered /sdcard isn't backed up), I tried various file recovery apps to no avail and began trying [GUIDE] Internal Memory Data Recovery - Yes We Can! from the Nexus forum. This guide got very complicated trying to change it to fit the S3 and replies in the thread went quiet. So S3 experts, I need a method for internal file recovery for the S3 i9300 please.
Many thanks!
Search and read, the same subject is covered many times.
There was a process for the S2 that works for the S3, where you raw export the whole 16gb partition to a pc for data recovery software to work.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
The only thing I could find was the [REF] S3 Storage (Data Loss Recovery / Prevention / Info) guide that says:
It's worth mentioning, NONE OF THE ABOVE will work with /sdcard on internal memory. It is not possible to get your data back once deleted from internal memory. Once gone, it's gone forever. You can only restore from /extSdCard (removable, external SDcard)
Click to expand...

...which doesn't sound good!
I can't find the process for raw export you mentioned, unfortunately. I did a search in the S2 and S3 forums for 'raw export' and other variations, to no avail.
Edit: I'm currently running Recovering deleted files from internal memory of Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300). Will update on progress.

Galaxy S6: Lost DCIM Folder

Hello
Yesterday I lost all my pictures on my Galaxy S6, I went to gallery, and I had the icon of a “broken” file, I restarted my phone and after that all my pictures and DCIN folder disappeared. After that I had 10Gb new free space.
I rooted the phone and tried about 10 programs the restore internal data and no success, in all of them I couldn’t find one single picture.
I´m not using the fone, what can I do? I need a program to make a deep scan, If it was with a sd card it would be easy, but with internal memory, I can´t use Recuva because the S6 doesn´t have a drive letter as an external drive…
I´m desperate because it´s about 10Gb of photos…

Question Factory Reset my Samsung S23 ultra with no backups...can I recover photos?

So I was using my S23 ultra for camera and video purposes. It had no sim card.
Today i decided to get a sim card for it and use it as a phone finally.
Installing the sim card, It factory reset the phone, I wasnt aware it would do this...and it walked me through the setup the phone stuff.
I dont know if there is any way i can still recover all my pics and videos....the rest of stuff i can live without.
I did find an app called Droidkit which sounded promising but it was unable to ROOT the phone to do a deep scan....i assume cause the S23 is a Canada version.
Which basically brought me here to see if there was a way to ROOT this phone or if there was any other way to try to recover my photos and videos.
I hadnt done any type of backup nor used google photos etc.
I had planned to back everything up when i got home before installing the sim card, but when i bought it, the girl insisted she had to install it herself and make sure it was activated.
anyways, any help is appreciated, thanks!
I have never seen factory reset delete user data on internal simcard.
On samsung phones.
(unless specificaly requested to do so from recovery)
open file manager and browse around , very good chance your stuff is still there.
if it was really reformatted (almost always a quick format) which can allow file recovery,
(stop using phone as much as possible so not to overwrite the the sectors on internal sd)

When Samsung had an sdcard you were able to store images and videos on your sdcard so that when you did a FDR you didn't lose your images or videos. Sorry to say that US and Canadian S23 Ultra's can't be bootloader unlocked at this time so no root for now. You can go to settings>Backup and Restore and see if by chance they were backed up, mine are backed up every so often automatically.

The only possible way is by physically removing emmc and then recovering using UFI tool box.
I don't recommend doing it for yourself as it has to be performed by trained professional.
thanks for all the replies.
didnt have any luck....if the phone was rootable, its possible i could have recovered some i guess.
fortunately it was only a couple months i had the phone....but i still took hundreds of pics n vids in that short time.
lesson learned...backup my shizzle.
i managed to salvage a few bits from messenger of stuff i had sent people.
appreciated.
did you use the file browser on the phone to check standard locations
(not the gallery browser, but actual file browser)
of the internal sd card
/sdcard/ (DCMI,Movies,Pictures)
even storage manager under settings should differentiate between
internal and external sd cards , even if external was formated to be used as internal.
(browse that and see how much space is used up by various things in internal-sd)
as i and others think, that you are just looking at external sd card only for some reason.
and internal sd should still be there with original content , unless purposefully erased
( factory reset should leave that allone )
