Poor photo recovery from Samsung Galaxy SD Card

[AC Question]

I accidentally deleted all photos on my Samsung Galaxy S5's SD card, and used the DiskDigger app to recover. However, most of the photos recovered are not only poorer quality but only show the faces of the people in the photos, not the entire photos. Any ideas for a re-recovery?

1. You're probably recovering thumbnails, not the original picture files.

2. The missing pieces are places where something else was saved. Even installing Disk Digger will damage a picture or two.

Photo recovery is very complicated. Many tools can only recover thumbnails. Even if DiskDigger worked for one time, it might fail this time. Anyway, there no other but try other reliable recovery app.

Basically, no recovery is perfect. Take this as a lesson and backup regularly.
