I saw a thing from Google saying, "87 images were uplaoded to Google+." I figured everything was fine so I deleted the photos from the Gallery, only to find out that the photos I deleted had not yet been uploaded to Google+. I deleted like 15 relevant photos but then deleted quite a few more photos from other time periods as well.
So I rooted the phone and installed DiskDigger and after running it on the data partition of my HTC One M8, it isn't finding any of the photos I deleted, just some system file images and then some random photos I took but did not delete :s
Did I lose the ability to recover the photos because I overwrote the space after rooting?
Downloaded another file recover-er and it "recovered" the same photos that DiskDigger recovered.
I guess the photos are lost.

Somewhere in the process of rooting, creating a nandroid backup, backing up apps and data with My Backup Pro, flashing a rom, and flashing back to a nandroid backup, I lost all of my pictures but all my videos were saved. Now, when I look in the location where my pictures are stored, all the pictures filenames show up but with 0kb file size and when I long press on a picture it says invalid file. I've tried Recuva and Hexamob to recover the pictures but neither have worked. Thoughts?
Here is an issue:
I got an insurance replacement for broken screen phone. I am trying to backup and restore rooted Sprint S3. I did a nandroid backup to external card in Clockwork recovery on old phone. On rooted new phone with Clockwork recovery I did a full wipe and restored from external card. Everything is fine except I couldn't take picture or start Gallery. Gallery would give "Not enough space. Remove.. bla-bla" message. Camera would appear to take picture but didn't save it. I tried to fix permissions with Clockworks-didn't work. I used x-plorer in root mode to rename DCIM folder. Camera started saving pictures to a new DCIM folder but Gallery still wouldn't work. I used quickpic to check photos. It could delete photos in new DCIM folder but not old, renamed DCIMbackup folder. I guess it is some issue with permissions but don't know what to do at this point. Could someone advise?

If it was on your external MicroSD card, I'd suggest you immediately remove your card from your phone and scan it with a recovery tool such as Pandora Recovery to recover your files. If you overwrite any of the blocks, where the data was stored, then you now have a bigger problem.
Hello,
For some reasons I had to make a “Restore to fabric” in my LGG3 I made sure I made a backup of all my Whatsapp chats. I also made a full LGBackup including App Data (over 7GB). However after reinstalling Whatsapp and restoring its own backup from the online cloud copy, all my audio files in whatsapp conversations are gone, and they are very important as I’m involved in a trial and these audio files are required.
Before the restoration these old files wouldn’t be immediately played. I would get an animated circle icon and after some seconds the audio would be available (downloaded from the cloud?).
After restoring the phone and doing the LG Backup restore, I opened whatsapp it asked me if I wanted to download my Cloud backup copy, to which I answered "yes". All my text messages and most of my images or videos are there. However now, whenever I click on those audio files I get the message that the file is no longer in my device, and won’t even attempt to download them from the cloud.
I thought that my Whatsapp backup would include EVERYTHING and not discard the audiofiles. JPEGs etc are still downloadable but not audio files.
I don't know if restoring the whatsapp cloud backup copy has messed my LG Backup. I am not even sure if I opened and installed whatsapp before doing the LGBackup or after, I just know I made sure I clicked Backup App Data in the LG Backup options, and the back up files (2) are over 7GB together. I don't know if later on my cloud copy has erased those audio files, as it was only until a few days later that I realized they were gone.
This would be an ABSOLUTE DISASTER, had these files vanished, I also noticed that my BACKUP copy has gone down from over 4GB the moment I made it before the phone restore to 2.3GB some days ago without any intervention other than the restoration itself.
My question is:
If I restore my LG Backup file, would it contain my audio files? I wouldn't mind losing all my messages since 10 days ago, as the important ones are a few months old. I just know the online copy of my whatsapp backup (that made by whatsapp itself) doesn't contain the important Audio Files. So my only hope is that somehow they are contained in this LG Backup file which is 7GB, and either get them through whatsapp or through the database file it creates in the mobile (no clue how though).
Kind regards thank you everyone,
Luis
You can certainly try to restore it. If it backed up your entire internal memory, it will contain them. How large is it? Thats what you have to look for.
Hi, I recently moved some photos from the gallery into the secure folder's gallery and from there I sent them to the recycle bin and afterwards permanently deleted them. But I didnt realized that among the photos that I erased was one that I still need.
My questions is if I can recover the files that were deleted from the secure folder without rooting. My phone is not rooted.
If there isnt another way other then first rooting the phone and then trying to recover the photo could somebody provide a link to a thread with a tutorial for begginers maybe? My phone is a SM-G960F model.
Sorry to hear that. Is there any backup file of the deleted photos? If yes, you can recover the deleted photo you want from the backup file easily. If no, the only way is asking for help from pro shop or data recovery software like Dr.fone, Coolmuster Lab.Fone for Android, Easeus MobiSaver, etc. Do remember that you need to make sure it not being overwritten by new data. And you need to root it before using such software. Of course, if the deleted photo saved on your SD card, you don't need to root your phone. Hope this will be your help.
