Hello everybody..I just deleted an important video file without me even noticing. Or maybe it was a glitch. But how can I recover it?
And help with this issue?
I had this file saved to my Memory Card of 8gb. I tried to use "free undelete" software I have but it states "current drive has 0 deleted structures" should I format the card and try it again...well I'll make sure I'll pass my contents to my hard drive before I do.
I wouldn't format, try "get data back" by runtime software, I have used it to recover corrupt data, never to undelete but it says it can do thay, and you can try it for free if it finds the file then u have to pay to recover
File scavenger 3.2 is an excellent undelete program and can readily be found on sites that rhyme with morrent
Test disk is great. I have a 32g card that my phone will periodically say is damaged. This can repair sd or recover deleted files.
Its free

Thanks everybody! I will try out Test Disk. Thanks
In the future, use a program called dumpster.... its in the play store. Equivalent to the recycle bin on a PC. Don't know how many times my daughters accidentally deleted pics or other files off my phone. I just go into the app and restore em.

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.

I did give you expert advice. I am an expert in backing up my data in case of device problem or if I somehow decide to format my card.
As I said earlier try a partition recovery software.
Expert Advice:
Follow XDA rule #1 and use search. We have many topics about users formatting cards and then needing to recover data. This is a non-device specific topic so search whole site or even google.
Well you coud try Testdisk and Photorec
the site is cgsecurity
Or option 2 try recuva with deep scan enabled, also the option to scan for lost or damaged files should be turned on.

- 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.

You can't undo the formatted, but the data was not really gone, you still can use some data recovery tool to recover your photos.
You can try this guide about how to recover photos from Samsung Galaxy S II.
I recommend you backup your photos with Google Photos, it has 15GB free storage, I think it's enough for your 1 year's photos.

Wow, the guy posted 4 and half years ago, that's too late, don't you think? :silly:

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.

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.
Hello Everyone,
I need some help restoring whats app msgs which are a couple of days old.I own a Samsung S4 mini.
I got my phone un-rooted and flashed the samsung stock ROM(Android version 4.4.2)
My internal SD card got formatted due to this. But I had taken a google drive back up as well as a local back up of the Database folder of my whats app on my PC before flashing the ROM.
On flashing the ROM, I installed the latest whats app version 2.12.449 .I tried to restore my msgs from the google drive back up but wasnt able to no matter what I did. It failed everytime. I skipped restoring the back up and my google drive back up got overwritten with only the new msgs.
I uninstalled and re-installed whats app.
While restoring the only option it gave me was to restore it using the backup on google drive (overwritten one) which was pointless. So,I tried doing the below steps mentioned in the Whats App FAQs to manually restore a local back up which was a day old.
-
To restore a less recent local backup
Your phone will store up to the last 7 days worth of local backup files (Google Drive will only have the most recent). If you wish to restore a local backup which is not the most recent, you will need to do the following:
Download a file manager. Here are some choices: File Managers and Explorers.
In the File Manager, navigate to sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases. If your data is not stored on the SD card, you may see internal storage or main storage instead of sdcard.
Rename the backup file you wish to restore from msgstore-YYYY-MM-DD.1.db.crypt8 to msgstore.db.crypt8.
Uninstall WhatsApp.
Install WhatsApp.
Tap Restore when asked.
This dint help either . It simply doesnt detect the local backup on my internal SD card. It only restored the back up on my google drive by default. Also there is no option to choose whether to restore back up from your SD card or google drive.
I have tried searching all the forums to find a solution to the above problem but couldn't :'(
Is there any way to resolve this issue apart from installing the message extractor on your PC and decoding the DB files??
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.

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 5. Unformat SD card in Android phone
