Hey.
I use a Redmi note 7. A couple months ago, some important photos and videos from my phone got deleted. My phone isn't rooted. Hence, I'm unable to use data recovery softwares like dr. fone, and other apps like disk digger don't seem to work for me. In order to root my redmi phone, i would first need to unlock the bootloader, which will require a factory reset and will wipe all my current data also. I'm skeptical if i will be able to recover those deleted files after a full factory reset using dr. fone. It'll be helpful if someone can tell if there's a way around.

You've no chance.
As far as I know, if you just want to recover some media files, such as photos and videos ,root is not required. Mobikin Doctor for Android free version should be helpful, use it to detect the lost videos and photos, check if the lost files are there. If they are, recovery is possible.

You can try recovery softwares on your PC like easus data recovery or such. Just plug your phone via usb. Havent tried it though but it wont hurt if you give it a try.

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.
Dear guys,
I accidentially deleted around 70 GB of videos and photos on my Galaxy S6 128 GB (SM-G920F, Android 6.0.1, G920FXXU3DPDP). I was so stupid to try to move the camera folder instead of copying it to the computer and since the process was aborted it was gone from my phone and not on my computer. I'm missing a lot of family pictures and videos that were very very valuable for me.
My phone is rooted (odin) and the root works properly. I tried several recovery programs, some are working in general and are requesting supersuser rights (like phone paw android recovery) - but can't find any of the deleted images and videos. Others (like Wondershare Dr..Fon Android recovery) do not work properly (it gets superuser rights but in the last step before scanning the phone it tries to get (other?) super user rights that are not properly requested).
I should be gratefull for any kind of help. Please let me know if you need any additional information. It would be the biggest present to get back any of the many photos and videos I lost.
Best,
Sonstiger
Or does anybody have an idea where I could find help? The photos and videos are precious memories of my daughter and two holidays.
Thankfull for every help!
An addition: I wouldn't mind if the procedure to recover (part) of the photos / videos would break my phone.
you didn't have any back-up solution? try some photo recovery apps from play Store like: DiskDigger or DigDeep Image Recovery, i can recover almost all deleted photos but have no experience abt recover video
In the past I've had phenomenal success with Dumpster: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.baloota.dumpster&hl=en
Of course I can't guarantee anything, as file deletion and recovery is a bit.... weird. However, with Dumpster I've been able to recover many photos on multiple occasions, even really old ones (months, maybe even a year for a few of them) I had forgotten I had deleted. I didn't even have it installed before deleting said photos either. That being said, since your photos/videos are freshly deleted, it may work out for you.
Good luck!
Thanks ubergeek77.
Unfortunately, Dumpster only recovers files that have been deleted after Dumpster has been installed. So it can't help in my case.
Any other ideas?
And there are some more promising tools for the PC. E.g. I tried Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android. It scans my phone (with superuser permission). But not a single photo / video of the ones that I deleted (70 GB) are found. What could be the problem here? Anybody out there who can help me and finds the time to reply?
Connect your phone to your Pc and try some recovery software like EaseUS..... (this is not a free software but you can install trial version).
hope it help.
Next time, if the transferring process is aborted , just undo and get back your file right from PC.
None of this tools found relevant photos or videos from the 70 GB i lost. I will now try to get an image of the data partition to recover the files on PC. Anybody can help me here?
I was now able to copy an image of the data partition on my computer -- using Photorec I could scan this partition for lost files. Unfortunately only undeleted or not relevant files were found. None of the files of the 70 GB deleted pictures and videos. But there have been tousands of files (from 4 MB each) extraced with the file extensions ".elf" and ".sqlite". I assume that these files are my lost photos and videos and that they, for any reason, cannot be assigned correctly .
This may be related to the file system ext4? Or the blocksize? Or any other reason related to the fact that these files were not deleted the standard way but while trying to move a to big folder to my PC.
What can I do here? I would be gratefull if any expert here being familiar with the ext4 filesystem or Android partititions could help me in any form. Please let me know if you need an additional information.
Looking forward to any reply. Thanks!

Very sorry! I totally misremembered what app I used. I just checked, and it was definitely DiskDigger, it works without having been installed first, and works even better with root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.defianttech.diskdigger
Sorry for the confusion!
The results I mentioned were with root, so that may be something to keep in mind.
Also, I'm not 100% sure if TWRP backups are 1:1, but you should research a way to make a complete raw filesystem backup of your device if DiskDigger doesn't work. The more you use this phone, the more you risk losing some of those photos. With a raw disk image, you could mount it in Linux and throw every recovery tool you can find at it.
Best of luck. If I run across anything that may help, I'll be sure to post it here.

Hello there,
I recently lost my mobile and when i found the phone the next day , the person who took it had already fully formatted it.My phone is One Plus 3T and it was unrooted before.I tried many ways and apps but all says I need to root my phone now to get the photos n datas back.Could you please suggest me any ways to get my datas without rooting.And shall i get all my datas 100% back if i root it now though?Since i have found my mobile ,i haven't use its storage so that its previous data print don't get overlap.Please suggest me effective way to get my photos n datas back without rooting if possible or if not than by rooting process.And if rooting is a must than suggest me a link of rooting OP3T,i am new to it.
Thanks.
You can try different software but you will not be able to get everything back. The best you will be able to hope for is maybe 25% of the photos but that is all you will get back.
could you please suggest me different softwares for recovery of photos without rooting?..
Without knowing the pocess used to format the device, and any subsequent use, it would be impossible to tell how much of your data still resides on your device. Any guess made on this would be frivolous. If the data is extremly important, forensic techniques could be applied to retrieve the data. This would require proffesional forensic software such as XRY to aquire an image, and analyse it. This software is extremly expensive, and not designed for end users, but is deployed by some data recovery firms.
It boils down to the depths of your pockets, and the importance of the data lost.
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
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.
