Need help recovering accidentally deleted photos - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title states, I made an idiot move and deleted all my photos and don't have them backed up anywhere. I tried disk digger and it recovered most of them but since my phone isn't rooted the quality ai received is awful and didn't get all of them back and got no videos back. My device is a Samsung Galaxy S6. I read on here that my device can be rooted but my build number wasn't on the list of rootable s6 devices. Does that mean that I'm SOL on recovering my photos? I've used my phone very minimally since deleting the photos so I'm sure most of them are still around. Can someone please give me some hope that I'm not going to lose my son's photos?
Sincerely,
Worst Dad ever

Have you tried data recovery softwares available for Windows.
May be these softwares can recover your data.

Urgent help please! Data recovery

Hi, I'm a total noob when it comes to WP and Lumias, but a friend who knows me as being interested in phones has come to me with a problem.
The screen of his Lumia 800 is competely smashed. He has got an estimate for it to be fixed, but they will wipe the memory of the phone - along with all his important work contacts. He has never backed these up in any way.
He said he just downloaded Zune to try and back everything up, but it's impossible since he cannot see or use the touchscreen of the phone.
Suggestions?

If the phone can boot up successful, and can be recognize by ZUNE, then you can take backup.
You don't have to use your touchscreen for taking backup.
Use this tool to take backup.

Thanks very much. Turns out all his contacts were backed up in Live after all!
Ok, so my friend's contacts were backed up to Live but now he's asking for me to get the photos off the device.
WP7 Easy Backup Tool was suggested before, but it only works if you're restoring to the same device...
Is there any way to get the photos off this phone before he sends it away to be "repaired" (eg. wiped or replaced)? He has some irreplaceable photos of his pregnant wife and newborn child on there - yes, I know and you know he should've copied them off the phone long ago, but this is the situation he's now in!

If his device is paired in Zune they Pictures are synced automatically. Does he have a Qualcomm or DLOAD bootloader?

1. I have no idea if it is. Does pairing it require use of the touchscreen (if it isn't already paired)?
2. I have no idea. How would I find out, and is there something that can be done if it's one or the other?
I can find out tomorrow.
Thanks!
First of all there is no need for a wipe of the device when you replace the screen, sounds more like they are swapping the complete phone.
When you have Zune installed and running, then connect the phone it will attach itself and sync photos and other media files depending on settings in Zune.
Replacing the screen is a 5 minute job, you could easily do it yourself and get the parts off of Ebay so do not get fooled into any high cost repair due to labour. A Nokia Care Point will charge you about 150 GBP for a screen assy (ex labour), on Ebay they can be had for about 90.

[Q] Recovering data from broken SGSII

Hello everyone,
first-timer, so I hope I won't screw up!
My Samsung Galaxy SII I9100 is broken. And I don't just mean the screen (which is what I found threads on aplenty on here), I mean really broken.
It won't turn on at all. No Recovery/Download-mode, either. The only reaction it shows at all is when I plug it into a computer via USB, the area around the camera starts heating up slightly. That's it.
The last thing I did with it was visiting facebook when my phone froze up, I turned it off and it didn't start back again. It might have been exposed to a certain high temperature from the sun when I had it in my pocket but it's unlikely it reached any temperature above 40°C/104°F.
I was running the latest Cyanogen Mod 9 for SGSII.
Anyway, this thread is less about trying to find a fix for my phone (though if you can help me with that –*cool) but instead I'd like to know if there's a way to recover the data on my phone. That includes photos and music, possibly contacts, messages and Whatsapp-content.
If there is any way to do that, no matter what, I'd like to hear about it. I'm thinking about sending it in to get it repaired but before I do, I'd like to hear about my other options.
Thank you very much in advance.
Almost zero chance. The fix is replacing the motherboard, which has the internal storage on it. A company that specialises in recovery of data from dead HDD's might (but it's a very remote chance, and expect it to be very expensive if it is possible) be able to help, but you really don't have any options (shoulda/coulda/woulda backed it up).

Figured as much... I guess I'll cross my fingers when I send the little bastard in for repair/data-recovery.
I did a back-up on a whim some months ago so at least some stuff is saved but I got some new data on it since then, so that would have been nice.
Anyway, thank you very much. I just ordered a USB-jig as a last resort but I'm not having high hopes.

Can't acces photo's on locked Galaxy S6

Hello everyone
First of all, i'm dutch so excuse me for any spelling errors etc.
I have a friend who has just had a baby.
She made photos with het Galaxy S6..
But all of a sudden her phone won't recognize her fingers and doesn't unlock.
She also doesn't know her password anymore since she never had to use that again.
I know it is possible to recover the phone but then it will also remove all the photos.
I tried connecting the phone to the computer, it shows a folder named Galaxy S6 but I can't acces it (the phone says unlock phone to view content)
My Question is, does anybody have a workaround? She only wants the photo's once they are back she can reset the phone.
You would really help her out since the baby is born in the 23rd week of pregnancy
Try posting it in XDA ASSIST :good:

LG G5 6.0.1 Help Recover Deleted Photo Album

Hi Community,
I have an LG G5 (LGLS992) from Sprint running Android 6.0.1. The phone currently has no SD card and is not rooted.
I just got back from a weekend trip with my family and was cleaning out some old photos before backing them up when I accidentally deleted my main album. I know that you can recover recently deleted photos, but I cannot find any way to recover the album.
I spent hours last night trying to find some way to recover the album to no avail. From what I have read, it seems as though I am SOL unless my phone is rooted. So far, it appears that the LG G5 that I have is not rootable...yet.
I believe that I can recover the files if I can get the phone to read as a mass storage device with a drive letter, but I cannot find any way to get the phone to show up with a drive letter.
Does anyone know of a way to recover my deleted album? I am desperate as many of those photos were of my children over the past few weeks.
Please spare the backup, backup, backup comments...I am usually very good about that and preach it to my wife. My a$$ is sore from me kicking it.
I am grateful for any help,
The_Swish
I've used this method before
https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-recover-deleted-photos-on-android
If no PC/Mac, try one of these (untested by me)
http://androidadvices.com/apps-recover-deleted-photos-android-phone/
Thanks for the reply. Those solutions pretty much require the phone to be rooted. Don't believe the LG G5 is capable of being rooted...yet.
The most that I've found so far is thumbnails of the photos.

Factory Reset OP7 | Need to recover Photos

Hi ,
I had a Oneplus 7 which got stolen after i left it in the cab. The cab driver initially refused, however i had Life 360 tracking on and with evidence when i reached out to the police they confronted him and got the phone back (Just India things). Now coming to my main issue
The photos on the phone were extremely precious , it had photos of a family trip and my parents anniversary celebrations among other things. The cab driver had Factory reset the phone through recovery.
I was hopeful of recovering my files using Dumpster or Undeleter , however even on a rooted phone i could find Zilch. Which was very surprising. Can someone help me with a reliable software to restore the photos.
Paid /Unpaid both are fine
I have made a conscious effort to not overwrite the Drive.
