Can't get photo recovery software to work with my S5

Hi

I'm trying to recover some photos I recently deleted in error. I've installed 3 different programs and enabled debugging mode, connected as MTP device and tried different USB cables and ports and computers. Funny thing is my wife has an S5 and she has the exact same results. My PC detects the device, but these programs don't or at least fail 3/4's of the way through analysing the phone.

Any advice appreciated.

Welcome to Android Central! The photos were on Internal Storage? That's very hard to recover, even with special programs. See this guide: http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...-s/500142-guide-recovering-deleted-files.html
