Any way to recover deleted videos and pictures?

**Loki0402** · 08-10-2012, 10:47 PM

So my dumbass thought that I backed my pics and vids up on my computer (turns out that I didn't) . I realized that some were saved internal and some on sd card. So i moved them. For some reason about 140 pictures and 13 vids did not transfer and just say 0mb. Any way to recover these? Thanks.

Try hooking it up to the computer and see if they show up. Or you can try a soft reset on your phone and see if they pop up.

On your computer (if you're running Windows) download Recuva. Google search will find it for you, it's free. Mount your phone and have Recuva do a deep scan of the SD card/phone (wherever the files were originally) and it may be able to recover them if you haven't already formatted or anything like that. Let me know how it goes.

This is what I was going to suggest.

You can recover the deleted photos and videos with the application called 'Data Recovery'. A free app from the play store.

For this question, it depend on where your deleted videos and pictures saved in, if they saved in the internal memory, I am sorry to tell you, it is merely no possibility to recover photos from Android, unless you have backup, because the computer can't identify the internal memory as a drive. However, if the lost photos are saved in the memory card of the phone, you can get them back by tool, as long as they aren't overwritten by new data.

The internal drive is mapped when you plug it up via USB, as well as the external SD card. It is defiantly possible. It also depends on how long the files have been 0 too.

Are you positive the files that are 0 ever were viewable?

Don't attempt anything else with the card.
If the card still behaves in a reader but says it's empty these is possible software to recover.
TestDisk - CGSecurity

This is by far the best recovery software on the market and it is open sources and runs on Mac/Windows/Linux.
It's a brute force no holds barred way to get your data and you need to be a bit computer savvy.
It mounts the SD card or drive, read only as to not damage it any further.
That being said, if this software won't get it, nothing will.
