Hi everyone,
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I am running out of ideas.
I have lost some important photos on my Samsung Galaxy S9+ and I have tried a couple of photo recover apps such as diskdigger, dr.fone, to name a few and they do not find them. It says to perform deep scans i need to root. Is there any app or pc software I could use to do deep scans on the internal memory of my phone?
P.s. I've looked at ways of rooting the phone but I'm confused, was looking at using twrp and magisk but not sure how to start as I read somewhere samsung phones have their own flash software.
Thanks for any support
If I recall correctly, rooting any Samsung phone requires a hard reset, so that's probably a worse idea lol
Why not check if they're in the "thrash" folder in your gallery, if you have it on
Or check if you have sync on on any of your photo apps
Cheers, ive checked the trash folder and its empty so they must have gone outside the last 30 days, and until this weekend I never synced my photos with the cloud (rookie mistake I know)
Guess they are gone forever

Usually, if the deleted photos not being overwritten by new data, such data recovery softwares can help us recover them back. But before that, we need to root it by using samsung root app. You can search such root apps online and choose the one you like better. Then it can help you scan out all data on your Samsung Galaxy S9+ and recover them back. Please note: If the deleted photos are overwritten, there is no way to recover them back.

Hello everybody!!!
Firstly sorry to all for my english, is very poor
This is my first post.... and i need you....
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with 2.3.4 version and before i had a Iphone 3Gs. I like more my SGS2.
Two weeks ago, after finished the battery, I connected to charge and turn on. In the screen appear message... "internal sd card corrupted"... I searched for information on the internet but i don't found the solution... Now i know exist this :_(
My phone told me format the internal sd and I did...
Now my phone works fine, but I had a lot of pictures and videos of my little daughter that i want to recover, but it is impossible mission.
I don't install news apps, i don't update that i have and i have not made new photos. Only tweeter, facebook, pulse, mail, messages with whatsapp and navigation internet web pages
I have downloaded many programs for recovery data, recovery sd.... as Recova, pandora, Minitool, Wondershare, Zero, Rremo, Card Recovery, Foremost, and other many programs but not luck. Only recover new temporal photos (of the navigation)
Can i recover my old photos? is possible? how can i do?
Thank you a lot for your aportation!!!!

what?
cant I recover my files?
I don't understand your post...
One try RECUVA that fails thare are other file recovery tools available to purchase .Recover on PC via card reader not via phone .
However as you have tried then thats it you have no other choice but to contact a Data Recovery company and ask how much it will cost . It is an expensive job that may not succeed .
PS your English is ok and far better than the post you dont understand .

Thank you very much @JJEgan
but I don't want to lose my photos...
I even downloaded two applications of the google play to retrieve the data .... but no luck
I know it does not help now, but going forward link your account to Google + and picasa and you can auto upload pictures everytime you take them, so if you do lose your phone or corrupt it then at least you have pictures/videos
Download restorer pro 2000, I use it regularly, worked on internal storage to few days back
Sent from my GT-I9100
If you did not yet try 'PhotoRec' then you should do. It is free and I was more then once able to recover photos in cases where any other software I tried failed - you have nothing to loose
Hello everyone!!!
evilghostrider, I have not uploaded the photos on Google+ because my data rate consumed.
atifsh and fxrb, thanks to his contribution, but could not recover my files....
I begin to think that I can not retrieve my files... :_(
Any idea?
Thanks a lot to all!!!
how and where did you get restorer 2000 pro?
did you run it properly.
when you install it, you have to scan the internal storage. you can also set the options to just scan for jpeg.
and first rule is do not write anything on the drive you want to recover from, so stop installing stuff on your phone.
Hi,
I put a pin on my galaxy s2 lockscreen when I was drunk and couldn't remember it in the morning - oops! I really do not want to hard reset. I'd be happy to hard reset if I could backup all of my data, however I can't connect via kies (is this because it's locked?). Windows recognises the device and it pops up in windows explorer but I can't access any of the files (I assume this is due to the phone being locked?).
Is it possible to backup all of my data when the phone is locked?
I believe I'm using ICS, I haven't applied the latest OS update.
I have rooted my phone, not sure if usb debugging is on or off because it seemed to turn itself off randomly. Is there a way to tell remotely?
I found various supposed fixes around the net but none seemed to work:
1. I found some adb trick that you can supposedly use to wipe the pin but I can't seem to connect via adb shell.
2. I tried logging into my gmail and pushing various no lock aps to the phone but they didnt seem to have any impact.
3. Androidlost wouldn't register.
4. I can't click the emergency call button, nothing happens - maybe a bug with the root process I used?
Can anyone suggest anything else?
So frustrating!
Cheers.
In one word, no. Time to bite the bullet (and contemplate how you should have backed stuff up regularly because it takes 5 minutes to avoid this situation in the first place).
Do you have ICS 4.0.4? If so,then don't even think about doing a factory reset(see eMMC bug).Flash 4.1.2 via odin,then do a factory reset in recovery.
A cousin of mine came with a similar issue. But he had an unrooted S2 running stock GB. He simply wanted his contacts back.
So what I did was root it using siyah kernel, reboot to cwm recovery, created a nandroid backup and then did a full wipe to remove the PIN. Then, after extracting contacts data from the nandroid, I restored them by rooting his phone again. Then, made a backup of contacts to SD card. Next, I flashed GB via odin, did a full wipe and then restored the contacts! Phew..

I find it interesting that you have done what you say to your phone, yet you just created an account here and this is your only post. Obviously just to ask this question. Not judging or anything, but usually when people ask something like this, it means the phone is stolen. Just odd in my opinion. Best thing I can tell you is to carry your phone to your service provider, they can fix that problem very easy.

I'm not sure what version I'm running, can I tell from CWM? I know that it's not the latest version as it tried to automatically update itself and it failed as it is rooted. What would be the problem doing a factory reset if it's running 4.0.4? Wouldn't a factory reset just restore it to the original firmware version?
I've extracted a backup of the files via CWM, all I'm really after is my photos (hopefully they are on the SD card), my contacts and my message and call logs. Is it an easy thing to extract my message and call logs from the backups?
I've called my service provider and they can't do anything, they told me to speak to samsung who in turn told me I need to send it to a repair centre.
As for it being 'interesting' that this is my only post here, I've never had cause to post here, I'm not interested in development and I know very little about it, hence I need assistance. If I stole the phone why would I care if I had to factory reset?
If you have 4.0.4,then don't do a Factory reset.eMMC bug=your phone will never power on again,and you can buy a RIFF box or a new mobo.
Ok , here's why what you are asking is questionable to me: you put a lockscreen PW on your phone, you can carry it to whatever carrier you have's store, and they can unlock it for you so you can get your data back. Don't call them, of course they're going to blow you off. Plus, where are your pictures? Every phone I've had has saved them, by defaukt , to the ext-sd card. That will not be affected by a factory reset, even if it saved to internal, as I have done so myself countless times. Also, its kind of strange that you came to xda to ask this, since you say your phone is rooted. Due to the fact that pretty much everyone who has rooted/customized their phone, has had to do so by receiving some kind of help from a site/forum. So, why did you come here? Why didn't you go to where you learned what you know about android/your phone to ask this? Why not just go to your local store? Also, you sat you don't know what version you have. You said you rooted your phone, and know about adb, quite a lot to know for some one who doesn't even know what android version they have. Anyway, I think I made my point. I'm done, I dont think I need to go on anymore. I'm not the only one who has noticed how fishy your story sounds, and I am quite noobish, compared to the majority of this site. If it wasn't so obvious, I would help you.

KThomson205 - must admit, when I read this thread the other night & your first post in particular, I agreed. And I still agree with you. We've seen situations like this every now & again on here over the past ~2 yrs and just about every one has 'smelt funny'. This one is no different.
Yea, Im done, not worth it.

How I rooted
I rooted my phone via youtube, it's pretty easy to do, you don't need developer help. I previously had a jailbroken iphone and I've done basic software design.
Data I want
My photos are probably on the sdcard - I haven't checked yet but that doesn't help my contacts and sms.
Why would I want this data if it was stolen?
If I stole the phone I would just do a factory reset wouldn't I? Why would I care about my contacts, photos and sms?
Android version
I don't know what version of android I'm on because I rooted it about 6 months ago and I'm not really into phones or apps. I rooted it because the last time I updated the OS it wiped my mini notes information where I took down a whole bunch of information - I was told rooting would allow me to retrieve the information. It didn't.
Provider and samsung no help
I have called my provider and they gave me the puck code because they misinterpreted my question, when I clarified that it was the lockscreen they said I need to call samsung. Samsung said I need to send it away for 'repair'.
At the moment I'm trying two avenues
1. androidlost
I pushed androidlost to my phone via google play but it requires 'registration'. Obviously I can't register it via the app in the phone, you can apparently do it remotely by sending an sms to the phone - I have failed to get this working for some reason.
2. sqlite3 modification
Apparently you can modify the lockscreen file and disable it via adb and sqlite3.
I've pushed sqlite to my phone but when I try the commands in adb it says file not found.
Any ideas?
How would I be able to push apps to my phone via google play if I had stolen the phone? You guys are just being paranoid.
I have now been without the use of my phone since sunday morning and am getting really desperate. I would really appreciate some assistance.
SOLVED
For anyone else in the same boat as me, please see this post for a possible solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244741
I tried method one via CMW in recovery mode but it did not work for me.
Method 2 worked for me. I loaded recovery mode, loaded CWM and through that loaded aroma file manager and used the console within AROMA then typed in the commands:
cd data/system
rm *.key
*I had to MOUNT data in CWM in order to access anything in the data folder.
Using normal adb shell through your computer etc you might have to do the full thing as detailed in the post
adb devices
adb shell
cd data/system
su
rm *.key
Thanks for sharing the solution that worked for you! Please add [SOLVED] to the title of your post.

Dear guys,
I accidentially deleted around 70 GB of videos and photos on my Galaxy S6 128 GB (SM-G920F, Android 6.0.1, G920FXXU3DPDP). I was so stupid to try to move the camera folder instead of copying it to the computer and since the process was aborted it was gone from my phone and not on my computer. I'm missing a lot of family pictures and videos that were very very valuable for me.
My phone is rooted (odin) and the root works properly. I tried several recovery programs, some are working in general and are requesting supersuser rights (like phone paw android recovery) - but can't find any of the deleted images and videos. Others (like Wondershare Dr..Fon Android recovery) do not work properly (it gets superuser rights but in the last step before scanning the phone it tries to get (other?) super user rights that are not properly requested).
I should be gratefull for any kind of help. Please let me know if you need any additional information. It would be the biggest present to get back any of the many photos and videos I lost.
Best,
Sonstiger
Or does anybody have an idea where I could find help? The photos and videos are precious memories of my daughter and two holidays.
Thankfull for every help!
An addition: I wouldn't mind if the procedure to recover (part) of the photos / videos would break my phone.
you didn't have any back-up solution? try some photo recovery apps from play Store like: DiskDigger or DigDeep Image Recovery, i can recover almost all deleted photos but have no experience abt recover video
In the past I've had phenomenal success with Dumpster: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.baloota.dumpster&hl=en
Of course I can't guarantee anything, as file deletion and recovery is a bit.... weird. However, with Dumpster I've been able to recover many photos on multiple occasions, even really old ones (months, maybe even a year for a few of them) I had forgotten I had deleted. I didn't even have it installed before deleting said photos either. That being said, since your photos/videos are freshly deleted, it may work out for you.
Good luck!
Thanks ubergeek77.
Unfortunately, Dumpster only recovers files that have been deleted after Dumpster has been installed. So it can't help in my case.
Any other ideas?
And there are some more promising tools for the PC. E.g. I tried Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android. It scans my phone (with superuser permission). But not a single photo / video of the ones that I deleted (70 GB) are found. What could be the problem here? Anybody out there who can help me and finds the time to reply?
Connect your phone to your Pc and try some recovery software like EaseUS..... (this is not a free software but you can install trial version).
hope it help.
Next time, if the transferring process is aborted , just undo and get back your file right from PC.
None of this tools found relevant photos or videos from the 70 GB i lost. I will now try to get an image of the data partition to recover the files on PC. Anybody can help me here?
I was now able to copy an image of the data partition on my computer -- using Photorec I could scan this partition for lost files. Unfortunately only undeleted or not relevant files were found. None of the files of the 70 GB deleted pictures and videos. But there have been tousands of files (from 4 MB each) extraced with the file extensions ".elf" and ".sqlite". I assume that these files are my lost photos and videos and that they, for any reason, cannot be assigned correctly .
This may be related to the file system ext4? Or the blocksize? Or any other reason related to the fact that these files were not deleted the standard way but while trying to move a to big folder to my PC.
What can I do here? I would be gratefull if any expert here being familiar with the ext4 filesystem or Android partititions could help me in any form. Please let me know if you need an additional information.
Looking forward to any reply. Thanks!

Very sorry! I totally misremembered what app I used. I just checked, and it was definitely DiskDigger, it works without having been installed first, and works even better with root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.defianttech.diskdigger
Sorry for the confusion!
The results I mentioned were with root, so that may be something to keep in mind.
Also, I'm not 100% sure if TWRP backups are 1:1, but you should research a way to make a complete raw filesystem backup of your device if DiskDigger doesn't work. The more you use this phone, the more you risk losing some of those photos. With a raw disk image, you could mount it in Linux and throw every recovery tool you can find at it.
Best of luck. If I run across anything that may help, I'll be sure to post it here.

Hey there, its my first post over here as it's obvious, i know my question might fit better under the dev section but it wont let me create a thread there, so bare with me.
Anyway, the problem is that i accidently deleted some media files from my Huawei Mate 10 lite (Images & Videos) and since then i spent like over a week googling trying to find a way to recover them without a clue. All the android data recovery apps require Root access to be able to do its magic, then again as i heard it's not possible to root Huawei phones on Android 8 with the latest security patches since its not possible to unlock the bootloader in order to install a custom one to flash whatever is needed to root the device, so that's a dead end at least to my knowledge.
The question is, Is there any way at all to recover those deleted files without the need to root the device ? if root is required, is there any safe way to accomplish this nowadays ?
Thanks in advance,

Unfortunately, there's no way to recover deleted media files . I had the same problem on rooted phone. I have tried several programs without success.
(If you store some new data in your memory then there is a big chance that the data get stored over the deleted data. So no chance of recovery after overwriting a humongous amount of data.)
Hey.
I use a Redmi note 7. A couple months ago, some important photos and videos from my phone got deleted. My phone isn't rooted. Hence, I'm unable to use data recovery softwares like dr. fone, and other apps like disk digger don't seem to work for me. In order to root my redmi phone, i would first need to unlock the bootloader, which will require a factory reset and will wipe all my current data also. I'm skeptical if i will be able to recover those deleted files after a full factory reset using dr. fone. It'll be helpful if someone can tell if there's a way around.
@shaunak saxena
You've no chance.
As far as I know, if you just want to recover some media files, such as photos and videos ,root is not required. Mobikin Doctor for Android free version should be helpful, use it to detect the lost videos and photos, check if the lost files are there. If they are, recovery is possible.
