[Q] Location of photos? NO SD-card inserted - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
Can you tell me where the photos taken by the camera are stored, if there is no SD-card is inserted?
Background: My little sister's S2 got damaged by water and the touchscreen is not working anymore.
I installed Clockworkmod, inserted a sd-card and did a backup of the phone. Afterwards I extracted the archive
on my computer BUT i couldn't find any photos form the camera.
She pretends that there have been a lot of photos in the gallery before this little accident ...
Greetings

They should be located at /sdcard/DCIM resp. /storage/sdcard/DCIM (which is the same location), but how did you do the backup? A nandroid backup? Did you look at the correct partition?

The photos are stored on the internal USB storage in the DCIM folder

Gallery showing no items

when using my camera I can't use the gallery icon in the bottom corner of the screen, when I click it it just says "no items".
I suspect this is due to me running different firmwares such as CM7, between the different firmwares the camera gives the pictures different file names but keeps them in the same DCIM location.
Is there any software I could use to batch rename the files maybe to keep them in the same format? I'd want the dates of the photos staying intact if possible?
Please help. Thanks.
Hi...
maybe when you change your firmware you took backup all your gallery into your ext sd.
make sure that your dcim location is in your internal sd.
the gallery icon in the camera app shows only the files that are stored into your internal SD (internal storage) not at your external SD.
Try and tell me if i helped.
dcim has always been on internal sd, ive never moved it
im sure its to do with the fomat of the files, i recall having a similar issue with the camera not working on cm7. i fixed this by moving the files from dcim to a new folder and it worked straight away but i dont want to do this again...

[Q] How do i recover deleted photos from cache on SD card

I took pics with my X10i whilst roaming and when my phone alerted me to delete some pics to create more space, i deleted from the gallery but instead of deleting the folder i selected it deleted all my pics. i thought i was lost but after playing around and searching my files and folders on the SD card, i found the Hi-res image cache and noted that all my pics are there... what a relief... but now my question is : How do i recover these files from cache as when i connected to my pc(running win7) it shows the files and i am able to open via internet explorer but when i click "save as" it says windows cannot find file specified"... please help
Try undelete (for android) or google for files recovery for pc. It should restere them but I don't think it will be high def.

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)..

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.

To recover lost photos from Android internal storage, you may need an Android data recovery to help you. Only the Android data recovery can scan the internal storage after you enable USB debugging.

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.

Lost files using Hide it pro

Please help me i've tried everithing...
I have a very large stash of pics that I kieep in Hide it pro app. I've set the app to unhide to a folder and them move that folder to the pc. when I tryed to open the folder on the PC I saw that there was only one photo inside (the first one) all the other 200 where lost.
I've run to the vault directory of hide it pro and there were the files, try to copy them and it was impossible, so I reboot the phone and the files were gone. GONE!
Now I've try to recover them with disk digger and other recovery software without any luck. If I could I would made a complete backup of the phone internal memory and them mount it has a drive and simply use recuva to get the files. But the process is to hard to understand and I can't see to know how to copy all content using adb not to the sd card but to the PC. My sd card is smaller than the internal memory so it'll not be able to acomodate a raw file from that size (64gb).
Any ideas? I believe that the files are simply lost on a regular hard drive or sd card it'll be easy but on the phone internal memory is a hell of a problem to get them out. Note that I must find the photos that are now archives with a changed name, hide it pro changes the file name...
please help.. thank you
Usually two or three people a week post about deleted files, search and read for hundreds of examples. It is possible to dump a raw file with ADB but you're trying to unscramble eggs.

missing pictures on sd card

I take pictures with the camera and they saved on the sd card.
when i wanted to send some of them on whatsapp i notices that i have files with "x" on them in the whatsapp add file option.
then, it's dissappear and i couldn't find the pictures at all.
it's just from specific time and the pictures before are fine.
I was looking for them at the gallary via quick pic and also via file explorer but nothig.
I tried some recover pc programs including sandisk RescuePRO Deluxe and no pictures or files at all.
I changed the option to save the pics on the internal memory and i'm scared to change it back.
I have original G5 stock rom and no root + 64gb sd card sandisk original.
Anyone knows if i can find the lost pics? it's very important to me.

root it and try disk digger but what ever you do dont do a lot on the device as downloads and such can overwrite the file locations where the pictures where.
it's in the DCIM folder.
and i prefer not to do root cause then the warranty will cancele.
