[Q] Data recovery from SG I9300 on Android 4.3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have accidently deleted the photos from my galaxy s3 running on android 4.3.1. Unfortunately, all the android data recovery software required phone to be connected with PC as a drive letter. On android 4.3 it is not supported and my phone appears as the phone name (eg. Vinzy) rather than a mass storage drive.
I am not able to recover anything as a result of this. Can anyone help- either if they know how to get the phone connected as a driver letter or any other software which will work to recover on 4.3.

DATA IS LOST UNLESS YOU BACKED UP question posted multiple times .

Accidentally deleted phone photos stored on the phone memory card are not so difficult to rescue, as long as you take the right steps:
1). Stop using this phone memory card in case of overwriting.
2). Plunge this card to your computer and check whether all your lost files are recoverable. What you need is to download a memory card data recovery tool for your lost data, like Recuva, iCare Data Recovery Free, 4Card Recovery and Power Data Recovery, etc.
3). Save and back up all restored files on another drive or place in case of data recovery failure.
Note: No matter what happens, you should always remember to back up all important data on different drives or places well.

I know another Android recovery tool, called Android Data Recovery. It is a recovery tool of recovering deleted pictures, videos and music from mobile phone on PC. It is Android Photo Recovery that restore lost pictures, videos and music from Android phones. You need not worry about losing important data from now on!

[Q] Recover photos after flashing

Guys I need help here, I flashed my Lumia 710 and forgot to save important photos of my granpa 80`s bitrthday, there is some way to recover it? Like what we do with external HDs, anyone?
I haven't found anything when I had the same problem on my HTC Mozart... That wasn't a flash, but a hard reset though...
There are currently no recovery tools for these data. Have you created a backup (or dump) of the device prior to flashing it?
I don't think you can get your photo's back after flashing your device but you can try THIS

It needs a Mass Storage function that Windows Phone doesn't have.

I thougt your device would show up as a mass storage device, because you flashed your device so you also unlocked your bootloader, I think I have to try it myself, but I still like the original rom.

Of utmost importance is that you immediatly stop using your phone until you are ready to use a tool to recover files
since any activity runs the risk of overwriting the photo data.
However I'm not sure if any of the tools really work on the S3. Reason being that the internal storage where the photos are often (but not always) located is not USB-mountable on the S3 (regardless of what some articles linked here claim, it's not true, Easy-UMS can only mount the external SDcard)
The data exchange protocol (MTP) on the S3 is not able to restore files, you'd need a tool which runs on the phone itself and has full root access. I'm not aware of any such tools, especially not working ones. This does however not mean you should give up.
You can take a backup of the EXT4 partition through dd so you can attempt to restore it on the computer while continuing to use the phone.
On a sidenote; can anyone confirm the S3 is not using TRIM on it's SSD? Since that whould effectively make any restore attempts pointless due to the data already having been physically wiped a long time ago.
I had this issue too and spoke to Samsung Directly..there is no way to do this on INTERNAL memory! external yes
I did that last week
So the solution is download undelete pro from Market and it will recover 98% of your lost photos & Videos, but keep in mind that you shouldn't use your storage meaning take photos, copy files, etc... just straight to market install the app and it will do an almost perfect job.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Data Recovery after formatting :(

I had recently rooted my phone and then installed CyanogenMod OS on my Samsung S3.
For installing cyanogen it formatted my phone, now I recall that I had some important data in my Mobile Vault app that I want to recover, most of the recovery software are unable to detect the mobile.
When I try to change it to USB mass storage device, it does how up on the PC but I cannot access it.
I had also created a backup image using ROM manager but it too got deleted in the process, if by some method I could get it back or if I can somehow make my phone be discovered as a mass storage device, I might be able to get my data back.
Sorry if I have posted in the wrong section. Any help would be appreciated I am struggling at it since the last 4-5 days.
There are hundreds of identical threads, I've not heard a single success. Sorry.

Well, If your phone is recognized by windows and you can connect as USB maas storage then use windows recovery softwares which can recover your data but it is very much time consuming may be you have to let your phone connected to pc for a day or 2 and if you have luck you will get back all the data. but its a 80:20 game.

Backup images from the phone

Respected by mistake, I reset the phone to factory settings.
So on that occasion I lost pictures, videos, viber pictures, messages and sms.
So I'm wondering how I can get back to my phone or computer.
And is it possible to set the phone as a usb device or sd card so that all the data on the computer is restored to the software (I managed to recover the data from the deleted usb from the usb device using recuva applications and the like)
Thanks

What you intend to achieve requires 1. the phone is rooted and 2. USB-Debugging is successfully enabled. Both requirements fulfilled?

The phone is rooted once but I'm not sure if it's done well.
So I should root it and then try with some apps to find the lost files in the phone?

I apologize: Device must NOT be rooted.
Carrying out a Factory Reset all your device data get wiped out, means you end up losing all your important user data before it is backed up. However, Factory Reset does not affect the external SD-card in any way. So, even if you have the SD card inserted with videos, images, documents and any other personal information in the Android device while carrying out a Factory Reset, everything will remain safe and intact.
Factory Reset is neither the best option anyway.
As long as after the Factory Reset no apps etc.pp. got installed on Android device, there is a chance you can recover deleted user data - but only if the related storage memory didn't get overwritten in between. So instead of recovering deleted files from Android without computer by an Android file recovery app, which could potentially overwrite the deleted files when the app is installed, you have a better chance to recover the deleted files with a desktop Android data recovery application on your computer. Dozens of those Windows applications are available, simply do a Google search for those.
I tried the root phone but failed.
Does anyone know how to root this model?
Thank you

Help with recovering deleted photos

Hi everyone,
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I am running out of ideas.
I have lost some important photos on my Samsung Galaxy S9+ and I have tried a couple of photo recover apps such as diskdigger, dr.fone, to name a few and they do not find them. It says to perform deep scans i need to root. Is there any app or pc software I could use to do deep scans on the internal memory of my phone?
P.s. I've looked at ways of rooting the phone but I'm confused, was looking at using twrp and magisk but not sure how to start as I read somewhere samsung phones have their own flash software.
Thanks for any support
If I recall correctly, rooting any Samsung phone requires a hard reset, so that's probably a worse idea lol
Why not check if they're in the "thrash" folder in your gallery, if you have it on
Or check if you have sync on on any of your photo apps
Cheers, ive checked the trash folder and its empty so they must have gone outside the last 30 days, and until this weekend I never synced my photos with the cloud (rookie mistake I know)
Guess they are gone forever

Usually, if the deleted photos not being overwritten by new data, such data recovery softwares can help us recover them back. But before that, we need to root it by using samsung root app. You can search such root apps online and choose the one you like better. Then it can help you scan out all data on your Samsung Galaxy S9+ and recover them back. Please note: If the deleted photos are overwritten, there is no way to recover them back.
