I*accidentally selected "clear data" in the media storage app on my samsung note, i thought i was just deleting the cache because it said it was only 10mb, but when I try to open the external sd it says its empty, and it wont even detect it on my computer.*is there a way of retrieving everything i had on there? i have much more than 10mb, probably at least 3-4 gigs. please help! thanks
Ouch sorry to hear you hit the wrong button. Right below "clear data" is "clear cache". I can't believe you missed it! Anyways I'm afraid to say your data is more than likely gone.
You can use DiskDigger to recover photos and video from your SD card.
Hope you are able to recover some of your stuff.
Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion but isn't that app for rooted devices? Mine isn't
..either way, I've tried a few apps to recover some stuff but the problem is that my sd card won't even be detected...
I have a pretty good feeling your data is still there. I've cleared the media storage app's data before as part of a troubleshooting process for Rocket Player, and I've never lost any of my data. First thing I'd try to do is get your SD card recognized again. If your SD card is not accessible from your phone, take the card out and stick it in your PC. Hopefully your PC can see it. I wonder if PC based undelete programs work on SD cards. No harm in trying I suppose.

Yeah the app in the Play Store is for rooted devices.
They do have a PC version but I've never used it before.
I did take a peek at their FAQ and it seems it's free to use, but will nag you to buy it.

thanks for the help everyone.
that's the main thing i'm trying now is to try to get my sd card detected on my pc, but no luck. I even tested a spare one of i have, and it works fine in my phone and my pc, so weird. has anyone had this happen to them?
Google an app for your PC called testdisk. Sounds like you may have lost the cards partition. If so, testdisk can help find it and rewrite it. If that is what happened, things will reappear after that. From the same site as Testdisk is a flash drive file recovery tool called photorec. These are open source tools, so they require some study on your part to use. Documentation is on the site.

thanks for the info... tried it but no luck, when I get to the point where I need to select a hard drive where the partition might be lost, the sd card is not listed.
Be sure the disk is showing in the PC. In Windows, an unpartitioned disk will not show in Computer as it has no file system to read. But it should show in Disk Management.
You might have to use a laptop or something where a card reader is built in.
There are many combinations of hardware you might be using.
You might have to use Linux, such as a bootable clonezilla or Gparted rescue disk (google) to run your PC to do this. Both have testdisk built in.
well that's the problem, it wont show in the PC...
I am using a PC where the card reader is built in, and I tested another card to make sure it works ok.

Well if the card is mechanically/electrically OK, it will show up in (windows) disk management, but possibly with all of the space "unallocated". Testdisk could maybe recover from that. If it is not there, then it seems to be broken, but a software program couldn't have done that to it.

Hello guys,as my title thread ,i,v installed android(FRX06)on my touch pro2 ,it work,s but ,but android can,t see my storage card ,can any body explain me how should i fix it please?
i have already the phisical keyboard problems ,but the imporatante issue for me in storage card for now,thanks.
What do you mean android can't see your sd card? It's running off your sd card so it clearly can see it.
Probably he means that when you go to SD Card options [I forgot the actual name] in Settings, the SD card is considered "not detected" and doesn't show you the remaining capacity of the SD card. If so, I had the same problem when I first put FRX06 a month ago.
What you can do is to do a FULL format using the HP Tool. It needs to be the HP Tool and a FULL format or else it won't work.
I'm guessing you also didn't have your ringtones working while you were at it huh?
Well, give full formatting a try. :]

Thank you very much my friend, your advice was good,now i can see my SD card doing only a quick format with hp tool
Have a very nice day,byeeee
I actually suggest a full format if you want the FRX06 build to work properly. But whatever works for you.
SOLVED.
no SD card
folks, I have the same problem.
I did a FULL FAT32 format to a 512 card.
FRX06 boots and runs smooth, I just "don't have an SD card", you know, for taking photos and stuff.
Do I have to make 2 partitions? or what?
Oh, HP Tool does nothing for me, it doesn't detect my card in my laptop's slot.
Am I weird, or what??
OFFTOPIC but I have no pulldown notification bar either. Nor FRX06 neither Gingerbread ALPHA. (I am using the right calibration file, I compared it with the one attached in the post)
I can get to notifications from home by pressing menu, then I can pull it UP, but not down. HM?????

For the notification bar, try making your own calib file, instructions in the first post.
HP Tool is necessary, or something else other than the built-in Windows/WinMo utilites. If your card reader doesn't work, have you tried using WinMo and the phone in 'mass storage' mode so it just shows up as another disk drive in My Computer?
Notification bar was a question of calibration. Thx.
As for the SD card, it is visible in my desktop, a can format it in several ways, except for HP Tool, that doesn't recognize it. Is being not visible in Android a question of formatting really?

Unless you figure out some other way, yes it is a question of formatting really.
What do you mean you can 'format it several ways' if the HP Tool doesn't see it? Are you sure you're doing it correctly?
I can format it with Total commander, regular rightclick format in windows, etc, but HP Tool doesn's handle it. It is win7, it's in my cardreader slot shown as secure digital card in windows. I run HPtool as admin, of course, starts up but the pull down options stay dimmed. How should I format it? Wouldn't HPTool format it just FAT32 too?

It's not that the Windows utility doesn't format as FAT32 - my theory is it doesn't touch the partition table, and something gets hosed with it.
I've had TONS of people that were skeptical it would do anything (especially since you can backup all your data and restore) but every single one of them said it fixed the "No SD Card" issue in apps.
Figure out the issue with the HP Tool, it works great for me. I used it in Win7 as well, but I don't have a Win7 box handy to test on - I do know that it works on Win7 tho.
Edit - perhaps try the SD card inserted into the phone in WinMo & use mass storage mode? Not sure why it wouldn't show up in the HP Tool, gotta try something different.

Not sure if it has been said if it has my bad. But it seems you are trying to do the FAT32. download the HP tools. then when you plug in your device pick the disk drive option that will set it as if it was a thumb drive then run HP tools and for me it was my F: drive sorry if its not a help
So,
My SD card isn't recognized on the phone - saying it's unavailable, and my computer says it needs to be formatted.
I can't install any app, the phone just soft resets. So it's all due to my SD Card.
I can't format it because I have so much stuff on it - from pictures, to files, to everything. Anyone know how to fix it so I can at least get my stuff off it?
This is really not good if I have to format it...
I have no Idea how to help you, but what up bro didn't know you had the gs2 i remember you for the ole captivate forums lol.
You have to format it then use a recovery program.
My 2 suggestions, which I went through the same issue and got 95% of my stuff...
1. iCare Data
2. Recuva

The reason why you can't transfer it is because he needs to format it so its properly read.

If thats the case, then he should copy all existing data to his computer, format, then recopy everything back over...
But he did say in his OP that the computer said it needed to be formatted. So that tells me that his computer can see the card, but cant access it.
Use Recuva or testdisk (google is your friend).
testdisk works great for SD cards and USB devices. The issue will be that it will see the file, but not the filename, so it will numerically name them. small price to pay to get your info back from a would-be dead SD card..

Yea thats why I like iCaredata (find it how you want to) but it keeps folder structure and other things so its easier to track your files.
Maybe try mounting the SD in CWM? I used this when the SD contents wouldn't show after a bad flash.

Hello ,so i have samsung galaxy s2 with miui jb rom..
i connected an pendrive through usb otg cable but when mounted it shows it is corrupted and need to be formatted.
so i confirmed this operation and it starts to format..
after format
VOILLA MY INTERNAL SD CARD GOT FORMATTED INSTEAD OF USB ONE WHICH I HAVE MOUNTED THROUGH USB OTG CABLE..
I have no backup and i have lost all my data on internal sd storage... photos, music,videos, other data such as text documents , pdf documents , tar files of recovery etc.
its very very sad for me as i have collection of all memories as photos and videos...
I'm very tensed..
please help me to recover back all my data ..
after format there is no data stored on internal storage means no over write of any data so i have that my data can be backuped up..
i've tried couple of softwares to backup my data but one of softwares called "photorec" is able to recover only 2.5GB and also in random named folders with random data...
everything is finished..
please... it will be great of you to solve my this problem..
is there any way to UNDO this operation?? I mean can we UNFORMATthe internal storage ???
really need your advices and solutions
thanks..
Yes solution is simple.
Go back in time.
Backup data like any sane person would have done.
If your files were that important why didnt you do simple things like make backups to your PC or even just via dropbox app that automatically uploads photo's via wifi?
Try a partition recovery software.
If you cant fix I have no sympathy since its easy to make backups of needed data. No excuse really.

- Connect your phone trough USB cable and activate mass storage mode
- Depending on what files are lost (probably photos and videos), look for format recover software (Like recovery my files)
- Use it on mounted SD card
PS:
If you have used some part of your internal sd card after formatting, you probably lost some files forever, if you haven't yet, DON'T USE IT BEFORE RECOVERY !!

Give some app suggestions is fine. Once we have those, we know the key terms to search for.
I've tried cg-security apps, they're made for Windows/Linux/BSD etc, but won't install on android.
I tried aidfile installed on Windows but it won't detect the phone internal storage either.
I have all my photos.
I lost a database document that is 760mb. Most backupsoftware (Skydrive, Asus Webstorage, DropBox etc) won't upload it.
I sent the phone for warranty and they formatted my phone, and lost that document. I just need that back. It is in internal storage, there is no sd card on this android.
Try Recuva but don't get your hopes up. Not likely to work. If they've formatted the phone, it's gone. Android isn't like Windoze where 'files aren't really deleted'.
Edit - Also, beware of some (all ?) of the 'data recovery' apps on Google Play. Many (certainly the several I've tried) of the non-paid versions will go through their process of checking, and tell you that your file can be recovered, but you need to get the paid version of the app. You pay for the app, and then find they tell you the file recovers OK (funny about that, right ?) but is 'corrupted' (which is basically bull****, the file can't be recovered at all, but you paid for the app so they have to give you something, right ?) & useless. This scenario is highly likely in the case of a file like the one you're talking about if you do get suckered in by those apps.

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

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.

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.

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
