Is there any way to recover deleted photos? Pics is all I am looking for nothing else. Something was deleted a few weeks ago and I want it back. I have tried plugging into pc and running recovery programs but none will see the gn2 only the local hard drives.
I have not tried it but look at this thread. Good luck manhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705

Wondering if anybody has ever had this issue...
Last night I know for a fact that all my pics were in tact b/c I was moving some wallpapers and some downloaded pics around. Today I opened my gallery up (running MIUI) and nearly every pic from every album was missing. I rebooted and when I looked again, each album (folder) said it had the right amount of pics in it but when I opened each of them up, they were still mostly missing. I plugged my phone into the pc thinking they would show up then, but much to my surprise they truly are gone. There's no way I could have deleted so many pics from so many folders on accident.
Anybody else heard of this? Is there a way to use one of the cache folders to restore them? The other strange thing is I'm 99% sure my SD card still shows the same amount of memory available as it did when the pics were there. WTF???
Thanks for your help!
Happened to me before. Just once. Lost some good memories.
On stock Rom.

Have you tried restoring a recent backup? That could easily fix it. Also, I'm personally not aware of this problem. =o

Yeah, I restored my last back up from 2 days ago... no luck. It's so strange b/c again, when I first pulled up the gallery, it said 100MEDIA had 148 pics in it. But when I opened the folder up, there was only the 28 that I have left. The other 120 are where??? How would the folder know that there are/were 148 files in there if they aren't hidden somewhere????
I've manually searched the whole SD card with no luck. Are they gone for good??
I had the same freakin issue once.. go to market and download sdrescan app its free.. let it do its thing and all your pics should come back to life! It worked for me and I'm running cm6..

Well, I pulled a boneheaded stunt. I accidentally formatted my internal storage instead of the SD card in my phone.... SIGH.... The bad part is, I had a couple of pics I hadn't moved up to the cloud yet, and they're irreplaceable. (One was of my wife and her 4 cousins after her grandfather's funeral) I'm hoping someone has an idea... I've tried Recuva and Pro Discover Basic to try to recover, with no luck.
Any other ideas?
None that I know of, sorry bud. You should start backing up you're pics and important files. I hope someone else can find something but from what I know people have never been able to recover after a format

Yes, I usually do. Thanks for the sage advice. I never would have thought to back up important files and pics.

Look at the get more storage from drop box thread and u can have it upload photos automatically so you never loose them. I have 7 GB on there now

Try unformat software using your PC. You must stop using your phone immediately though. As when you use the phone new stuffs are being written on the internal card and less chance of you recovering old data from it.
I've had some success with Recuva before.
So recently i crack the screen on the s2 n i was wondeeing how can i go about to pull the pics off the device since the screen is blk n cant see anything? Can i use adb even if usb debug is off? Any other ways to do it?

If your pictures are on your micro SD card then you can just put that in another device and get the pictures off that way or get a micro SD to SD card converter on eBay.
Hope I helped!
i know this isn't really a how to fix it, but there was a thread somewhere i think that was posted in the in the general section that had the exact same problem. It was fixed by running a program where you control the phone with your computer... i think.. or it allowed you to display the screen of the phone on your computer... you can also try to use an mhl adapter.
sorry i can't help, but if you dig a little you might be able to find that thread. don't exactly remember how the exact process went, but it solved the problem

You're thinking of using a VNC server? That will do it but the problem is that he has to install it on his phone....wait but that a can be done via adb or desktop play store. He will have to do it over wifi in order to determine the IP of the device so he can connect to the server.

Can't you just connect the phone to your laptop via usb and transfer the pics?? Or am I missing something here

I got pics off my broken vibrant with Droid explorer. It does require root and USB debugging to be on. Thankfully I always left it on. You also need to set up adb on your computer.
Other than that I'm not sure. It took months of asking arOund and almost wiping my Sd with bad adb commands.
My phone broke and it took five months before figuring it out after giving up.
Praise to Droid explorer

I think it was something like this.
I really can't remember the thread was like in January/February.
So OP hope you're up for some searching and hope you can find the correct terms to search with...
edit: found it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501169&highlight=mhl&page=2
it is droid explorer.
However, if you're not rooted yeah.... and if your usb debugging isn't on... yeahh....
if you think you can still control the screen... then try an mhl adapter. that may be your last choice besides replacing the screen.
So what happened today, I was just managing some files on my HTC One in Windows. Deleting a few files and then all of a sudden the progress bar stops responding when I went to delete a folder. Not sure if the folder matters or not but either way, I clicked 'cancel' since the progress bar wasn't moving and I figured I would just delete the files in there later.
Unplugged phone and all of a sudden, there were 0 files on my internal memory. I tried to reboot and still nothing, no files showed up on my internal memory and the storage shows the same with most space being free.
I'm not really sure why that happened but I guess just a warning for anyone else out there to learn from my mistakes.
This has happened to me before on a different computer with a different phone (Galaxy Nexus). Both have no sd-card and use the MTP protocol for connecting to Windows. I think there might be a bug in the way that Android handles that with files but I can't prove it.
Any tips on data recovery?
I don't think there's anything you can do. Sorry bud.

Will do, once I am able to get the data off. So far I was able to get the memory block off and I can 'see' the deleted files but I can't quite recover them just yet. I am going to try a good recovery software.
I've tried a couple of things but so far it doesn't look too good for most of my files.
Try this out. I have not tested but I seen this thread when I was on GNEX http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705

That's what I was following. I was able to get the raw mmc block off the phone and I started the process some 20 minutes or so after the incident. So there shouldn't be much over written. However, following those steps and using the same application, I can't seem to get any of my wanted files.
My next step is try something like extundelete.
Sorry to hear

Looks like I was unable to get any of my data back.
I just don't seem to understand exactly what went wrong so it's very difficult fix/reverse. I tired multiple different tools and different ways but never got proper files back.

Same thing (maybe) happened to me, posted awhile back, closer to this things release. A factory data reset is what brought it back. I still struggle to understand how this phone mounts storage, but the reset cleared it up. It has not happened again, but I quit fooling around in /shell/emulated/0 and switched to TWRP to manage backups.

I'll give that a try tomorrow and try to keep usage to a minimum today but I fear it may be too late already since I record ~3-4GB worth of video yesterday after I gave up. I had no other but to record.
Yea, it seems it didn't work at all. Oh well, at least I know for the future if it ever happens again what to try.
I recently backed up my old SD card, just saved Pictures, Docs, Music, and Vids. Now I saved the Hide it Pro from Android-ProgramData- Hide It Pro. Then my card died. Got new card, dragged everything i saved up above over, but it won't show the items in the Hide It Pro App. Was wondering if I missed something. Now, I did save my entire SD card from last year, but I don't see the files either. Is there another place where they get saved, besides the Hide it Pro from Android-Program Data. I know it comes out of Language-fr, but nothing is in there. What am I missing? Please help!! Lol..driving me insane!!
Have you tried the find missing files function in settings? That has worked for me once before.
