Rooting an S5 to recover deleted files off internal storage

[Jas Veen]

Hey everyone,

Really hoping someone can help, thought I nailed this rooting stuff but I guess not.

So I accidentally deleted files off my internal storage in an attempt to free it up (it said miscellaneous but didn't realise this included all my received whatsapp pics and videos).

So I've read that I need to root my phone in order to try recover these, I've so far downloaded odin and ran the pda which passed. Then I put SUSuper I think on my internal storage and from this point my phone stopped following the tutorial, any ideas of what the best steps are for me?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Rooting the phone does not guarantee that you will be able to recover anything.

Memory is constantly in flux and "deleted space" is overwritten almost immediately due to routine app needs. And if you load up multiple apps after the deletion, there is little chance of you ever seeing those deleted files again.

I suggest you chalk it up to an expensive education and get on with life.
