I don’t need the files in that USB drive since it’s just a linux bootable drive. I corrupted it by prematurely removing the drive since I thought the OS was done installing. I tried sticking it in my other laptops hoping to format it but it won’t get recognized. I was hoping there’s some way to save it.
I know this is general but others may have encountered a similar issue. My card doesn’t want to hold it data. Files either disappear or they corrupt when I add them. Is there anyway to fix this without buying a new card as the card is a new card. It’s not generic card either, it’s a Samsung so I don’t know why it’s not working properly unless it’s not a genuine card. Any help?
I recently bought an SD card on ali-express. Yeah, I knew what I was getting into, but I want to try and fix it anyway. I tried using chkdsk /f /x /r on it and tried formatting it on the deck and it didn’t work. Is there anything else I can try?
hello! I was recently taking pictures on a digital camera and I tried exporting the photos I took on the digital camera onto my phone through an adapter and now my file has corrupted , is there any way to retrieve the photos back onto it? Also is it possible to still use that sd card or should I get another card ?
Rooting now might actually make things worse. Plus warranty risk. If the data matters, try a proper android data recovery scan. If that fails, it’s probably gone for good.
That’s what I was afraid of. Any point trying root or custom recovery?
Agree with @Silas. People underestimate how aggressive Android is now with deletes. That said, desktop android data recovery tools sometimes still detect leftovers if nothing got overwritten yet. Not guaranteed, but better than Play Store apps.
If Trash is cleared, Android usually nukes the encryption keys. Recovery apps won’t work like they used to years ago. SD card would’ve been a different story.
Internal storage sadly. Phone is still working fine though. Haven’t used it much since.
First thing, stop using the phone. Every new photo or app install lowers your chances. Were the photos on internal storage or SD card?
So I messed up. Deleted some old photos from my Android phone, then later cleared Trash thinking I was freeing space. These were family pics, not backed up (yeah I know…). Tried a couple Play Store apps but they just show current files. Am I totally screwed or is there legit way to get them back?
Also stop opening them repeatedly in Photos app. Windows Photos sometimes worsens corruption by rewriting metadata.
Then those aren’t totally dead. Standard recovery tools won’t fix broken image structure though. You’d need proper photo repair software that rebuilds headers using reference images.
Checked a few. Some are zeroes, but others have readable headers and random data after that.
Don’t use that SD card until you can do the recover process, because if you do, you will overwrite the data and it will get lost forever.
