Yeah I’ve seen this before. Especially if the phone was used after deletion. New data can overwrite parts of old photos, so what you recover isn’t always complete.
Did you keep using the phone before recovery?
That usually means the recovery was only partially successful. The file structure is there, but parts of the actual image data are missing or corrupted.Pretty common with phone storage honestly.
So I messed up pretty bad. I accidentally deleted a bunch of photos from my Android phone last week and used a recovery app to get them back. It did recover most of them, but now a lot of those photos either won’t open or show like half gray / half image.
Some files open partially, some just throw an error. File sizes look normal though.
Did the recovery fail or is there still a way to fix these?

Photos and videos usually have a decent chance if not overwritten.
Makes sense. Any idea what kind of files can still be recovered
The less you use it, the better your chances.
Also don’t take new photos or download stuff right now
Yeah, safer. They scan without writing new data to the phone.
So PC-based tools are better?
Don’t install anything on the phone itself. That can overwrite data.
Then your best bet is using an android data recovery tool from a PC.
Yeah checked everything. No backups at all.
Did you check Samsung Cloud or any other backup?
I have a dell poweredge with PERC H700 / Raid with 8 physical disk drive array / Raid 0
This morning drive 3 was showing offline. I forced it to go online and now the drive 3 shows missing.
I have data that needs to be retrieved. The poweredge have IDRAC and I can give remote access to the unit to anyone who can help. I will also pay for your time. Appreciate if someone can help to bring drive 3 online again and copy the data out.
