I'm using Sony Xperia E4 with Android v4.4.4 and I need rescue my deleted photoes. Please help me.
Were your photos deleted now, or 6 months ago? If they were deleted 6 months ago and you have been using the phone regularly since, then there is almost no chance of recovering them if you had no backups of them.
If they were deleted now and they were on the SD card, then take out the SD card securely, put it in an SD card reader on a PC and run a program like the paid version of MiniTool Power Data Recovery -a great recovery app in my experience.
If they were on the internal storage, you might be able to recover the photos by plugging in the device to the computer directly with a USB cable (USB debugging enabled) and running the above software, but I have not tested that method.
If you are unsure about the above steps, there are alternative options to try out here.
As always, more information can be found here.
Let us know if it works out for you!

Background - I'm working on rooting my 32gb GS4 and was told to put some files on my SD card.
I got the Samsung class 10 64gb card and it the phone recognizes it fine
It did not come with an adapter for my PC, so I'm wondering how I put some files on the SD card for the phone
(like my license for titanium backup)
Do I do this through the phone when it is hooked up to my PC? (I did not see the SD card when it opened the phone as a folder)
Do I need an adapter for the microSD card? I have an old adapter for a 1gb card I got like 7 years ago, but will that even work?
Thank you for your help and suggestions.

That white cord you use to charge your phone . . that is used to transfer data to your phone too. There should be no problem seeing both internal and sdcard, at least I never have. But I installed the Samsung drivers like right away, so maybe that is why though I doubt it.

OK, I'll try installing the updated drivers and check back.
[note Windows 8] What happened when I plugged the phone in it says it can update the phone or I can view it as a folder. I viewed it as a folder then after about one minute the phone shuts down and it looses the folder. While I was in the folder, it did not show the SD card.
I did not update because I want to avoid the phone updating the ME7 like the plague.
Thank you very much for your help.

OK, I got the updated drivers but I didn't instal them yet. I had installed drivers previously.
I tried out putting it in developer mode, did not work. When I was reading the guides on the drivers and adb and fast tools, it suggested using download mode (slow downloads at the links included and I could only get one per hour). I tried booting it in download mode and then it still did not work. I shut it down and saw a weird thing I have not seen before with a power level meter (its OK). I powered it back up (while plugged in) and finally it recognized the device as a disk and I got the phone and the card. I put the files on it (it did not want to put the .txt file on there) and I unplugged it. It was odd because this time the phone shut down, but the drive stayed active.
I don't know if it will repeat or not, but I'm just glad I got those things on right away.
Thank you for your help, without reading about how to instal the drivers on a PC, I would not have figured it out. [even though I already installed the drivers]
Verizon HTC Rezound, rooted, using stock ROM with some bloatware uninstalled. Android 4.0.3 (4.03.605.2 710RD, received OTA from Verizon ages ago... I really haven't messed much with this phone).
Windows 7 Pro (both my laptop and my desktop... I've tried this two places now).
Whenever I plug it into one of my computers, I can only open the drive that has TL-Bootstrap.exe and the drv and img folders. The SD card and the internal storage (faked SD card, I guess it is) come up as Removable Disks, but they're greyed out and I can't open them in Windows Explorer. I don't get a popup for connection type whenever I connect the phone to a computer, but I have gone in the settings and set it to ask every time and also to default to disk drive.
I've cleaned my system of drivers, installed HTC_BMP_USB_Driver_x64_1.0.5375.msi and HTCDriver_4.2.0.001.exe and the drivers appear to have installed correctly. I don't think this is a computer problem... I'm thinking it's a Rezound problem. Phone works fine otherwise, and I can see the SD card using Astro and/or Root Explorer.
I've tried it with USB Debugging on and USB Debugging off. Fastboot is off.
I've uninstalled almost every program (I'm going to wipe it and give it to a friend, but want to fix this issue first).
Still installed:
Titanium Backup
TrustGo
Twicca
Verizon Messages
SMS Backup & Restore
SuperSU
SD Maid + Pro Unlocker
Android Lost
Greenify
Better Battery Stats
Barcode Scanner
BatteryGuru
Apex Launcher
BusyBox

Can anyone help me figure out WTF is going on? I just want to copy stuff to and from the SD card to my computer, and she's going to want to do the same to restore her programs.

Guess this phone is kind of a dead model, eh?
Download the latest HTCSync and install as administrator.
Try a live Linux CD... I am guessing this is more a PC config than anything else.
If all else fails, use ES Explorer or something similar and copy every thing to external SD and do a factory default with the card removed and try again

Samsung GT-P5113
Rooted successfully
Previous - Android Jellybean 4.2.2
Current - Lineage 6.0.1 - Version 13.0.20170826-NIGHTLY-expressowifi
The Lineage install modified external SD card to be the dedicated internal storage installed platform with OS running on the SD card. I can no longer see the SD card as an external device in USB Windows connection. Basically it is messed up. Unfortunately backup is no longer avail. CWM is now installed.
Please please advise how to correct.
Thanks ahead of time
Steve
I will reply to myself since no one else will
Steve,
Android JellyBean 4.2.2 is gone since your initial backup is corrupted. If you want to re-install that ROM, you can take the gamble on finding it on the internet but the amount of malicious sites falsely stating it is on their site is too high to take gamble. Go find a stable official custom ROM.
You have two options available for using an SD card. Use it as part of the system memory or use it as portable memory. Either way, I have not found a successful way of connecting a usb cable and directly reading\writing to the portable memory. You can remove and place in a memory reader with another device but the USB connection has failed miserably with the custom ROMs. ADB is supposedly an option but I did not get it to work via USB cable.
Your on your own here.
Good Fortune
Your buddy

Hello friends and happy New Year ,
I have problem and I need some assistance, if it is possible (of course ).
I have bought an Kingston UHS 3 Micro SD Card and mounted it as a Internal storage device on my Nokia 5 (Android 7.1.2) unrooted phone. The thing is as I downloaded a cache file from the Google play store, my phone froze so i turned it off, and after turning it on again, it said that my card is corrupted, and that I should try formatting it, which is, you guessed it - not possible. I got a nice message from android which goes something like this : "common 7 volume partition disk 179,64 public failed with null". So I took my card reader, placed it in my PC USB port and nothing happened. My PC doesn't recognize anything, so i went to Disk Managment, and i can see it there, but it doesn't have a "Volume Letter", so I tried giving it one, without success. DISKPART doesn't work, Mini Tool Partition Wizard just freezes, EaseUS also. To be honest, I don't care for files on my card, because it didn't had any , I just want to make it work. So if anyone has any suggestions, it would be appreciated.
P.S. I think that the card is now in "read - only" mode.
Thank you.
Hi, I lost my dog yesterday and have accidently deleted a few videos and lots of photos of our last months together, these were stored on the SD card in my phone. I have a Motorolo G3 running Android 6.0.1.
I have spent most of today downloading various apps to try and get my files back, DiskDigger was the only sucessful one but it was only able to recover thumbnail size pictures. I have tried Recuva which cannot see my SD Card when the phone is connected via USB with the USB file transfer option enabled. Easeus can see the phone but asks that I enable USB mass storage to recover the files, unfortunately I already have this enabled when I see the message.
Would rooting my phone help? From what I can gather I only need to root my phone if the files I want to recover were stored on the phones internal storage, I am mistaken?
Does anyone know how I can recover these files? There are a few very special photos and videos that I desperately want back.
Thanks
No ideas?
