Not sure if it is the same as Orbit2 file corruption problem. But mine consists of a few disappeared file directories - 3 directories all over 900MB. All the other smaller directories were unaffected. And the files should still be there as the space used and space left reported were the same as if the directories were there.
What would be the best tool to recover the directories and the files? Thought about using chkdsk, but I worry that it would just delete them. I have rescuePro bundled with SanDisk, but the files types were not listed in their compatible table.
Anyway to prevent this from happening again?
I used a program (for Windows) that recovered my hard disk from a total disaster. I deleted a partition and created another over it. It recovered everything.
Its name is [email protected] Partition Recovery. Connect you card reader with the card and check it.

Hi everybody.
Is anybody has a way to retrieve data on a corrupted SD Card. I have a Sandisk 8GB which became corrupted after connecting the phone on an old PC.
All the content is still there I Guess (size of free space/used space is correct) but the name of the SDCard and of each folder and files are like... unreadable :
]░╣j╣Ð.%Ê
I tried HDD regenerator which regenerate ... nothing and Recuva like retriev only some images.
But i have some files very important on this card.
Please is anybody has a solution?
Well, now, tried Handy recovery. I saw my files, I can retrieve them but once retrieved, system said the file is corrupted. I used SPB Backup to create my saves.

you could run chkdsk on windows or look for some other file recovery software.
Check out wizcode software. They've got a few options (undelete, unformat, scandisk). I use scandisk all the time, and it does a good job fixing corruption. But when you have screwed up directories, it may be too late.
Try this software
DDR - Memory Card Recovery
I had a corrupted 16Gig Card and it retrieved all. I could not even see any files on the card and Windows kept telling me to reformat. It costs 50.00.
Hi,
First of all due to virus your card is corrupted and you can see your card like ]░╣j╣Ð.%Ê etc. Check out your anti virus for updated virus definition and scan your system and for your card follow the same way, scan your card , you will get your files back to original and if you could not get them back to original state then you have to use a third party data recovery software.
You can check Kernel for FAT and NTFS software for the same, it will preview you the data in scan mode and if you want then can save the desired files to specific location.
Thanks
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...
so i took out my memory card and put it in a new card reader, the card reader did something funny and all files & folders disappeared and there was just one 0kb file named USB&somegarbage. I put the card back in the phone and it surely created the DCIM folders again etc.
I then connected it to icare data recovery and i am able to see that all the files are still there with most of them not corrupted but the folder names are gone,I wondering if there is a way for me to recover the original file structure back? any one?
Thanks in advance.

In my opinion, I would just recover everything and just format that card. When you reinsert the card, the phone should restore default folders back and just place your data in the respective folders. I don't think there is anything you really need to add new folders for, other than the default unless you had a specific folder arrangement for photos or something like that.
Format the card to NTFS not FAT.
Do it either on your PC or Mac.
But you must install a NTFS app on the android, otherwise the device will not recognise the card.
You can format the card to NTFS using the app too.
The app will auto mount the card when the device is turned on.
I've found this method more stable than having the card in FAT mode.
I'm surprised Samsung haven't sorted this out yet!

Hello.
Longtime 1+1 user here, I decided to buy me a new phone.
While organizing files to copy on my new phone, I accidentally deleted /sdcard. I'm no noob, but while browsing my internal storage on Windows, I saw amongst my know folders a folder called /sdcard, which would mean its path would be /sdcard/sdcard, so I thought I should delete it, since it didn't have anything inside. The thing is it was actually my /sdcard.
So everything is gone.
Now, multiple recovery software I've tried are able to find my files, but without their original path.
What I'd like to do is use Recuva to do it. In order to do that, I have to make a copy of my /data partition to my computer. All the ways I found tell you to make a copy to your /sdcard or external card. Since the file is large (~54GB), it can't be done on internal storage. But how can I do that in my phone since it doesn't have an external card?
Any ideas?
Look there https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26967862/how-to-make-an-image-of-android-partition-to-your-pc , I hope it'll help you!
Alternatively, you can use large (64Gb+) USB stick with an OTG cable and store your dump on it
Hello,
I recently found that I had and old .android_secure folder on an unused micro SD card, curious I opened it and found 4 ASEC files which if recovered could have some save data partition left.
Unlikely, I know, the problem is I have went through many of the current known ways to recover these files (smart switch, link2sd, fx file editor, zarchiver, and many more)
These file applications don't even recognize the .android_secure folder exists, but on my pc I can clearly see that it does - with the files.
Is there any application that can recover these files, assuming they are not corrupt?
Thanks,
Shardokon
