Now my cousin is in holiday abroad and accidently he has deleted tomtom maps folder from sd.
He have not use explorer like resco files so there isn't recycled bin!
And me I know recover method with a computer
But how undelete files directly in his htc p3600 / trinity ?
please how help him?
You might be able to use a file recovery program on the PC to try and recover files from there. I don't know if there is such a program for the phone itself.
http://www.softwarepatch.com/software/filerecovery.html
Here is a freeware program you can try. I have never used it, but others will cost you money and will probably do the same thing.
You cant recover files from SD cards, they dont work like hard drives.
yes they do in the case of one being able to undelete from them
flash have a limited number of writes before they die
so it's natrual that they just delete the ref to the files
in the "fat"
But i know already recovery sd from trinity with pc when trinity is usb mass storage (softick card export) and a file recovery tool... But situation of my cousin don't allow to do this.
Someone can confirm if a ppc tool exist to recovery or it's impossible?
put the sd card in a sdcard reader for pc
and use a program like undelete plus and pick the drive
the sdcardreader represent
and choose scan
pick the files you want to undelete and click undelete
end of story
Rudegar: thats a new one. My bad.
ive always used and swear by sandisk rescuepro, might be hard to find.
The OP is saying that his cousin doesn't have access to a PC at the minute as he's on holiday.. he seems aware of PC recovery but would like to do it directly on the PPC...
As for that I've not seen anything that can do it myself directly on the PocketPC though it would be good...
You could possibly get a HexEditor and use that to do it directly on the card on the PPC as the files will only have been marked for removal and not actually removed.. but then again I doubt a card filesystem writes continually.. (thats bad for the life of the flash so it will random write across the card in small chunks)
The best idea would be to remove the card until he's back (to prevent any writes to it which could damage data making recovery impossible) and recover on a PC as suggested by everyone else.
i agree, do it right on a pc. dont try to recover on the ppc.

hello..i want to ask u guys about the SD ..
someone told me that the SD will not work in any other device but the u r using..
is that true?
thx
well no unless you are somehow using the nativ encryption in the card then unless the password or whatever are using the card cant be used never heard anybody using it though
so if i changed my device (i'm using an i-mate) in the futrue to nokia or whteer can i still use the same SD ?
yep the nokia of cause would not be able to read ½ the data if it was written for the imate
i mean if it was like that there would be no such thing as a sdcard reader which many of us use to get data to the sdcards
Yeah in your case the different operating systems from iMate and Nokia means the data (files saved) on the SD card would be different but the SD hardware is compatible to both.
That allows us to use more than one card in our digicams, ppc's etc and swap them around as we like.
Ed
ok what can i do to get my data saved on the SD (from the i-mate) on other operating systems ?
even the images like JPG won't work?
thx
I'd suggest you could try to copy the files you want from the SD card to your PC, then format the SD card in your new device, then copy the files back to the SD.
Ed
so lets say my i-mate is broken.,,
and i havn't copy my data to the pc..
and try to put the sd on other device...will it work?
even if its on a ppc?
If the device you try to read it in has the same operating system as the device which write to the SD in the first place then yes. For example I'm pretty sure any PPC will read an SD card written to by another PPC.
Or if it was written to by a PPC then you can also read it in a windows based PC using an SD card reader.
Ed
aha..
but i don't think that the data like JPG's and AVI's , MPEG's....etc will not work?
will it work?
and thx again
I'm using a 512MB Transcend SD card for a year already and this is the first time I encountered such problem. It suddenly got its files corrupted, names are in symbols like boxes and some files claim to have 1GB of filesize. I can't remember what I did before it happened but im sure everything i was doing then is the usual thing. I didn't even remove it from my XDA. Is there any way to recover them? if none, is there any way to prevent it from occuring in the future? Please help
There is a way to recover them. Get your card into the card reader and start your undelete program (i have a great program if you want).
Seems you have Spb Pocket Plus and you have the storage card indicator active! This indicator seems to cause SD card erasings as many people (including me) tried removing the SD indicator & having no more SD wiping
If thats not true, then try to lock your SD card (the read only switch).
Cheeeers
this is the undelte program:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=643
oh shoots :shock: i already had it reformatted. but thanks so much for the reply Ezzkht
i didn't install Spb Pocket Plus though. And i tried locking the SD card, still the same, filenames are unreadable, just boxes and lines
Sometimes Pocket Hack Master can restore the files as well.
regards, M
ravelcop, even if you've formatted the SD card, you can still recover the files (the format process does NOT erase the existing data, it just deletes the 1st sector of the media)
Try EasyRecovery Pro (from the link I've sent to you).
Best of luck :wink:
Thanks guys, il try the softwares you recommended.
I hope we could find out what are the causes of this problem so as to prevent it from occuring in the future. Spb Pocket Plus autodetection feature could be one, and it must have other causes as well since i didn't have that software in my XDA
The problem of SD card erasing is cause by having two or more processes accessing the SD card all at the same time. This will cause trouble to the SD card system driver, and hence, will crash your SD!
Thats why Pocket Plus can cause this problem; since the SD card indicator checks the free space of the SD card every X interval, which could occur while having another process accessing the same SD card. :roll:
how to view
I had a sd card that was corrupt as well and I downloaded the file and it said it recovered 64 files. It said your files were recovered successfully. I saved the files in the directory and I can see them there but I can not view them to change them back to a jpeg file. Can someone help?
hi tia,
how did you download the file? i tried clicking that link but i get a page error. i think the link is broken. could you post the file here instead? i'll try to use it and maybe i could help you afterwards. thanks
i deleted a video file (recorded using my phone) from the storage card, and i do not sync that folder. is there a way to recover this, or an equivalent recycle folder for storage cards ?
placed in a sdcarder on the pc all pc harddisk undelete tools work just fine with the sdcard
only way i know off
If Rudegar's method doesn't work, try some data recovery software.
Take a look here: http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2007/PL2007FILEUTILITIES.php#3.30Files:Undelete
In any case U will need card reader.
Thanks guys, I will try these, I have tried a few others, via the sd card reader, but they do pick up some very old deleted files, but not the one in question (a video clip from my phone .mp4 format), i managed in some applications to even select specifc file types and all files, but no success, will try the link suggested below, thanks, will let you know how it goes.
Try "Recover My Files"
Woks for me every time.
I had excellent results with PC Inspector Smart Recovery for pictures, videos and pocketword/excel files. You have to put it into a cardreader for that.
Can we recover frm fon itslf????
Sent from my LG-E610 using XDA Free mobile app
All of the sudden, all the files on my SD card went missing! I was transferring music and video files to the device over USB (as a storage card, per the custom ROM USB/PC feature) and after it was done, it showed my card as blank.
I took the card out of the phone (XV6900) and put it into my SD adapter and into my computer. The 4GB card shows that 1.8GB are in use when I go to properties, however, there are no files at all in the root of the drive! Like they are invisible! (Yes, I have Windows set to show all hidden and system files, so that is not the problem)
How do I get my files to reappear? It looks like they are not actually deleted! i don't get why this happened all of the sudden
you can try an undelete program and check the sdcard while in the reader
undelete programs can handle sdreaders just like they can hd's

I'm using the same 4GB card as my old phones. this never happened on my Titan or TouchPro, each of which I have for a year or so. I have had a Vogue for 1 week and it has happened twice! does the XV6900 wipe the card periodically or when performing certain actions? even on a ROM update/flash it should touch the SD card when running from the RUU package in windows
I'm seeking assistance in restoring files that my tablet killed XD
I pulled memory card out of my my phone and installed it in my tf300t to watch movies and pictures i've taken on a bigger screen... after which the tablet created a folder called lost.dir and corrupted many of my pictures,videos and mp3s
Is there anyway to restore the files?There's about 8 big files in lost.dir folder some of them are joined together mp3's which i can open and play and some of them cannot be opened using anything
I really need to restore my pictures and videos or i'm just gonna kill myself :silly:
evidently the filesystem on your sd card was damaged and your tablet tried to fix it running fsck (or wathever android uses), did you properly shut down the camera before removing your card?
that directory is where linux filesystem recovery utility saves orphan files (files for whom directory data like name and lenght is lost) so they wont be overwritten and you can try something to recover them.
yes,i safely removed the sd card from my phone.Try something like what?i searched all over the internet and i cant find anything :S
this forum is my last chance XD
if its the external sdcard and you have a pc to plug it in try useing smth like getdataback (not free) or recuva http://www.piriform.com/recuva (free) and let it scan the card.

cheers
i already tried to restore the files..it restores already the corrupted ones...
