I just wrongly deleted a few photos on my HTC One M10 and installed a few well-known programs from Google. They claimed it would be no problem in recovering the data. But none of them work after testing. What is your thought on this?

 

Let me google that for you.


Or have you spammers moved from deleted excel files to deleted Android files. You guys are tricky!

 

It's easy on an iPhone. So I'd be surprised if there are not similar tools on Android.

I don't quite understand what do you mean. Actually I searched in Google before posting here. The top 3 suggestions in Google didn't work and ask me for paying it.

There are a plenty of those programs but it is hard to find the legitimate one.

 

Start with the OS. When you delete a photo on an iPhone, it goes into a "recently deleted" album and you have a month to change your mind. There are also apps you can use on a computer to access the phone's file system. You could look around and see if it's in a trash bin somewhere.

The last resort is file recovery software that can read the 0's and 1's on the drive and look for patterns specific to images. A deleted file is not really deleted (right away), just removed from the directory. It stays on the drive until it gets overwritten. This becomes increasingly likely with time and usage, so you may want to minimize on time until you've found your image.

We've had a rash of "file recovery" spammers come by here. It can be hard to tell if their posts are serious. Don't worry about it.

It took me 2 minutes to find dozens of free ones.

Only 2 posts about Android on a forum for electronics when there are a number of really good forums dedicated to Android. I remain skeptical.

Though the OP did post back, which is unusual for the spam seeders. Usually it is one post then move on.

thanks. Tried Recuva, Undelete and Fonepaw, all failed

 

Depending on your settings and what has happened since the files were deleted, they may be unrecoverable.

But your best bet is going to be to focus on forums that are dedicated to Android phones and users.

"uderground staff"??? What is "uderground staff"? A groups of dairy farmers or something?

If you meant "underground staff", then I still have no idea what you mean. This is a forum that discusses electronic design not Android operating systems. This sub forum is just a side interest. There are plenty of other forums that specialize in the discussion of Android.

And as always, just because you ask a question is no guarantee of an answer.

 

Underground staff are employees of London Transport.

Take a look here and scroll down to the 11th post (by Chris Kelly). Looks like root is required.

I mean people in here know more details about the hardware, like storage. sorry for using the wrong words.

I don't think the Android data quickly and disappear from phone, if we can scan the Andorid phone memory at in time ,
Maybe the lost data can be recovered on Android

 

thanks. I though this forum has more people knowing the uderground staff.

lol

 

As a last resort you could try using kali linux to search the phone. I have very little experience with kali but you should be able to find some good tutorials on have to do it on youtube.
A.H.W.

 

Deleted files have not been "deleted". It will no longer be a subversive idea for you after knowing how deletion exactly works.
As a matter of fact, your phone just simply has your erased files invisible, which means they are not perpetually gone right away. However, as you continue to use that device, the new data will take the place of the old one, namely overwriting, so if you are going to recover deleted files back from Android, we suggest stopping using your phone.

 

If you have synced the data before, you can recover from the backup file. If not, I think you should not add more data to your device anymore. Then, it is better for you to try some professional data recoverymethods.
