Please help me i've tried everithing...
I have a very large stash of pics that I kieep in Hide it pro app. I've set the app to unhide to a folder and them move that folder to the pc. when I tryed to open the folder on the PC I saw that there was only one photo inside (the first one) all the other 200 where lost.
I've run to the vault directory of hide it pro and there were the files, try to copy them and it was impossible, so I reboot the phone and the files were gone. GONE!
Now I've try to recover them with disk digger and other recovery software without any luck. If I could I would made a complete backup of the phone internal memory and them mount it has a drive and simply use recuva to get the files. But the process is to hard to understand and I can't see to know how to copy all content using adb not to the sd card but to the PC. My sd card is smaller than the internal memory so it'll not be able to acomodate a raw file from that size (64gb).
Any ideas? I believe that the files are simply lost on a regular hard drive or sd card it'll be easy but on the phone internal memory is a hell of a problem to get them out. Note that I must find the photos that are now archives with a changed name, hide it pro changes the file name...
please help.. thank you
You could try mounting it to your pc and running the program "recuva".. Worth a try.

You should just have to plug it into your pc with a usb cable and install the drivers.. Afterward it should show up as a drive and scan it.

The issue is that the S3 with android 4.3.1 is connect like MTP and not like a regular USB drive. So it is almost impossible to mout it. The only way I heard is with ADB.
Snag a micro SD to USB A adapter/card reader. Plug your microSD into your PC this way.

thats a great idea , the only problem is that the photos were in my internal memory...

Try removing the memory card and reading it directly from a computer. If you can see the contents, copy whatever you need out of it. put it back into the phone. Format. reboot and see if the phone reads it right. If it does, drag and drop whatever you backed up

Looks like I wont be able to find the missing files because my little cousin had my phone and accidentally erased everything on the internal memory and sd card

Download photorec.
You can recover your SD card as long as you don't copy anything over to it
OK thanks where do I download it. I'm searching for it in the market and it's not finding it

Google it, it's a windows/linux/mac program.
Hi,
I have formatted my sandisk 16gb microsd card multiple times via my pc(windows xp), my phone(samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket), sdformatter and hp usb disk format tool. All these programs say the format was successful but my music and picture files are still showing up on my phone. I also tried a factory reset on the phone but that only removed the files in the internal storage.
I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I tried searching for threads with a similar issue but I was unable to find one.
Thanks
Does the card show 16gb of capacity after formatting? If so, fill that with generic files & see what the phone reads.

Are you sure the pics and music are on your external sd and not the internal?

It's a 16gb card but when I attempt to format the card it shows up as a 14.8gb card. I connected my phone to my computer and drropped a generic file onto the sd card but the file does not show up on the phone when I disconnect it from my computer. I reconnected the phone to the computer and the generic files is still missing.

Yes they are on the external. I opened the MyFiles app, looked under extSdCard and it shows all the music and picture files. I tried deleting all the files in the exSdCard folder but they all reappear when I restart the phone. I also tried deleting them from my computer but they all reappear after the phone re-scans the sd card.
You're putting it on the wrong card

You must have them backed up on Google or something and they re download

My computer just passed away, so now I'm left with my HTC One and my iPad. I need format my SD Card without a computer, so I obviously would like to keep some of my data. Is that possible? Can I just partition the SD Card? Help!
Heuu soryy you cant or maybe sd partitioner is existing as an apk
Sent from my LG-P895 using xda premium
I don't believe that you can.
"Formatting", by definition wipes all the data on your SD card.
What about backing it up to a cloud service of your choice,or just email the things you want to keep ....to yourself,at least you can keep your pics an stuff,I do that for my build prop mods and apks I have on my SD when I'm not around my PC.

Try AirDroid , to transfer stuff to your iPad over WiFi
Then partition/format, open up AirDroid again, drop your contents back to phone.
Note: only works if u have a small amount of data to transfer around

I used to have to have a 32gb MicroSD card in my Note 3 which i used to use for my files. After I rooted my phone, I thought it would be a good idea to store my TWRP backups to my MicroSD card as it frees up internal storage but however after I initially made my 1st backup to my card, the system booted up and apparently the card was blank. I know this to be false as I have loads of photos on it and I selected the MicroSD card in recovery to make my nandroid backup to and after like 3 minutes, it was made.
Question is. How do I get my MicroSD card back to normal. I'm aware of formatting it and then mounting it in recovery but I don't want to lose my files on the card. I inserted the card into my laptop and the command prompt said it had a RAW file system.

Would I use that after I format my card and which file system should I format it to so TWRP can recognize it
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Free mobile app
I used Recuva. It's from the people that make CCleaner. Worked for me. But honestly, don't let it restore files that are partially damaged, because if they're music or photos or videos, they won't play/display correctly, and it'll cause wakelocks from the media scanner until you find and delete them.

Don't reformat, just put the microSD card into your computer (with an adapter, or with something that will let it show up as mass storage, not MTP). Point Recuva to the card. It'll tell you what files are partially restorable and fully restorable. Like I said, don't restore the damaged stuff. From experience, what'll happen if you do is you're gonna get wake locks and no app will be able to tell you which files are damaged. So you'll end up having to format the entire card anyways to get rid of the wake lock/damaged files.

I did a little searching but haven't seen any other issues like this so I thought I'd get some insight here.
I have a wifi model note 10.1 that has been running a 4.4.4 rom (omnirom) for awhile and haven't had any issues until just recently with no changes or upgrades to the device the SD card is no longer being recognized. No apps are able to access files on there, es file explorer doesn't last it in the drop down, and most of the time under the storage settings it will either recognize the card and show 0 files on it, or not recognize there's an SD card at all. Sometimes restating will help or unmounting and remounting the card but it never lasts. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Time to replace the card.
I thought that too but it seems to work perfectly in my phone and I can access all the files.

Can you create a folder or copying something into the microSD card?
If you can't, it's at its write limit = change card
When it happen you can still open/view file in it but not deleting/editing/creating files.
I didn't know that and that's exactly what it's doing. I can't delete or anything like that, but I was able to copy the files on it to my desktop. Thanks for that. Just picked up a new SD card yesterday anyways.
