A person accidentally formatted a micro sd card in her android phone. She claims having thousands photos in there, but I've tried scanning with 8 programs plugging the card in my PC. No luck so far. How could this be? No single file's been recovered so far.
how was the micro sd card formatted? quick format or full format also the brand of micro sd card that was used (like sandisk)
Thanks for replying. That's why I asked her. I've never formatted a sd card on Android, ever. She told me was in a rush and her little son bugging her too! Accidentally clicked on format but not knows whether full or quick format. Actually I don't know if Android has same formatting capabilities (quick / full) as Windows, does it? Brand: micro sd Verbatim
Haven't tried to be honest. What I can actually see right now are these folders in the root: .android_secure Android LOST.DIR I guess they are a product for having the card a quick format. They're visible from withing Windows explorer. That's it. All recovery programs I've run so far show same as above pic
Running easeus right now. It's at mid-process but Found files: 0 so far. This is the last attempt and I give up. I must accept data is lost for good.
Give it a quick look in a hex viewer before you set it on fire and throw it in the local river... If all data is really gone.....
Hex Editor Neo -> File -> Open -> Open Volume... Edit You can do the same with HxD 2.0, Tools -> Open Disk...
I've had the same experience. SD Card wiped (128gb) via android. Couldn't recover a thing. R-Studio, GetData, Testdisk, etc. Then checked with HxD and saw all 00
