Help how to recover deleted pics?

[caneaddict]

is there any way to recover a pic after i delete it?

assuming the pictures were saved to the Micro SD card then yes look for Card Recovery software, just Google it, if they were on the phone memory not sure, My Nokias there was a way.

Astro is a good management app. I back up my info to the cloud with lookout (it's a good defense app)...there's also Droidbox

If you pop the Card into a pc reader this may work for you..

Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File and Disk Recovery - Free Download

Same company as Ccleaner and defraggler.

If the data hasen't been overwritten on the card, the recovery software should work. So if it was only deleted recently and you haven't loaded it with stuff since, you should be fine.

check ur thumbnail folder. For some reason the pics double up on me in there unless i manually delete

I think theres an app that mounts the whole phone. Look for recovery software and try that. Otherwise just mount it and do it that way with the micro sd

I second Recuva, Just put the micro SD into an adapter into a PC use Recuva it will find deleted pictures, I have used it and works like a charm.

See this thread over at xda,.....

Deleted pics remain cache! - xda-developers
.

As you'll no doubt aware, most disks/SSDs, memory sticks, microSDs still contain most old "deleted" files, even if they aren't obvious, until where the data was has been overwritten by something else..

Couple of useful bits of code, TestDisk & PhotoRec can help recover lost stuff (or stuff someone thought they'd deleted (!!!!) )..
get them here..
TestDisk - CGSecurity

NB Both these bits of software can completely screw machines/PCs/Laptops. whatever so BE CAREFULL!!!!!

I'm just about to try PhotoRec on the N1 and see what she finds... & will report...

My mate dodgy Rob found fascinating deleted SMS messages on his wife's (non-Android) 'phone.... the story of what he did about it is even funnier

...
.............

Yup, Photorec can recover deleted stuff - .jpegs, .mov, .mpegs.. at least it did from my N1... - you have been warned ...

Running Ubuntu (Linux) & looking at the microSD card it reports 907 items on the microSD
Photorec recovered 3,724 items (!).. on the microSD and kindly copied them all to my Laptop..

If you really really need to feel confident something has gone then (I'm not an expert mind...) i understand you need to either..
a) (quick 'n dirty method ..) Fill up the apparently " empty" bit of the SD with garbage - eg some other .jpegs... or
b) To be really certain, re-format her: Several times... probably with several different file systems (FAT32, NTFS, EXT3...) , and don't chose the "quick" options...

- the software mentioned is FREE!!!
Cheers!

I'm not able to mount phone as mass storage device in Win 7 x64 when in USB Debugging mode. It comes up as two drive letters but when I click on them they say "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk"
Trying to recover files from an internal SD card of a Samsung Galaxy S.

I sucessfully recovered all movies my daughter had erased with recuva, but the biggest one had already the beggining overwritten by thinkfree, even tough I tried to recover only a few minutes after the deletion (I wasn

This may already have been suggested: Photos and gallery data gets backed up with MyBackupPro. If I know I've recently received or taken pics, etc that I know i want to keep, I do a backup with this app.

 

[silullu]

can it be used to recover deleted sms too?

I have a samsung galaxy tablet. There is no sd card , only a instore storage device. Is there any way to get from there deleted pics? when i tried recuva it will not see my device, becouse my pc sees it al a mobile device instead of a mass storage

Recuva saved my ass for some recording I made w/ RecForge - went to clean up the RecForge folder and move some files around - copied a couple recordings and then went into the appropriate folder and pasted - nothing showed and I went back to the main folder and the files showed up as the correct name but 0:00:00 and 0 bytes. These were saved to the internal 'sdcard' on a HTC Vivid. Mounted the HTC Vivid as a disk drive in win7/64 bit and within about 10mins (did the deep scan) there were some files that looked like they might be the ones that got fooked. Retrieved them to my computer and sure enough, they were the ones that somehow got 'lost' between a copy/paste.

HTC Vivid running ICS and the current version of Recuva as of this writing.
