Hi guys
I have a curious problem that others have resolved, but it doesn't work for me
I was travelling and took about a hundred photos with my new Xperia Z 6603 phone which were saved on my Sandisk 32GB Micro SD card
Some photos would not show, so I rebooted the phone (unaware that this may result in corruption). Yes, all the photos were corrupted and appeared under LOST.DIR in my SD card under titles 8216, 8217, 8219 and so on. They have no extension (original should have been jpg)
They still take up the normal space for a JPG photo and there's exactly a hundred. They are just simple files, no extension
I tried to change the extension to JPG, JPEG, PNG for photo formats, ZIP, RAR as I read they may be compressed. I also tried to repair them with JPG repair software. They do not open with any photo viewers, photo editing software either
They do not show up under Recuva, ZAR, Wondershare Dr Fone, or any other recovery programs that scan the SD card FAT32 sectors. They just stay there in the LOST.DIR folder. They are not overwritten as I have removed the SD card
Can they really be gone and its just ghost files? Or are they still my holiday photos that I so desperately need to recover. Is there anyone that experienced a similar problem and is there any way to recover? I wouldn't mind taking my MicroSD to a specialist should it come to that, as those photos are really important
Please help me, I would APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH
Tony
