Good evening everyone!
I was playing with ES File Manager and renaming some pictures by removing file extension to test Gallery and some other file browser. When i decided to rename back these files with their extension (.jpg) i've accidentally deleted a couple of them. Is there any way to recover no-extension files? As far as i've been looking for, most of tools i've used search for files by their extension (.jpg , .mp4, ... ) in the whole memory, and this is troublesome since the files i've deleted have got no format! So i was thinking to dump the memory (copying /dev/block/mmcblk0 to a raw file mmcblk0.raw with "cat" + ">" commands) and then proceeding with TestDisk + PhotoRec: the fact is that after i've copied the mmcblk0 there seems to be no way to browse its content. Does anyone know how to explore dumped memory file or how to recover files that had no extension?
Thank you in advance, :good:
P.S. please forgive my grammar: i'm not English and not used to write on forums >.<
Up.
Each time i copy the memory on computer (via ADB shell) the file copied reaches very large size: 14,7GB when i copied mmcblk0 and more than 9GB mmcblk0p36 (that should be the partition which contains user data from /sdcard/ right? )

I dump my DoPod memory by itsme's utilities, pdocread.exe then mount image file by using Mount Image Pro V.2.
MIP V.2 attached my dump file as FAT32 drive on my system.
I run TestDisk 6.10 to check my deleteted files under \My Documents\My Videos and found.
I copy those video files (MP4) to my system.
Thanks everybody who developed those utilities.
Now I got my old files back but I can't play recovered files.
Undeleted files form my dumped files its play well after copied to my PC.
Also JPG file can't show the pic if it is a recovered file, but I can see the pic if that was not deleted in my DoPod.
Any suggestion?
Is it because of ActiveSync file conversion?
Do I need to covnert those file in some way?
I don't thik so. I can play undelete MP4 file on my system when I copy it by TestDisk.
Thanks in advance.
I was moving some files to free up some space on my sd card. I use root explorer to cut and paste a group of files. When I pasted the files I got an error saying" file too large". I thought that the files didn't get transferred but I noticed that the storage had gone down. I've searched everywhere in root explorer to try to locate files but could not. I use the app undelete to try to find the files but could not. Where did the files go?
If you were moving a large file, like movies, it's a big chance that during the file move it couldn't go from ext to fat32 and it corrupted and that's why it got whipped out.
It shouldn't happen but it's a great possibility. Word to the wise always copy the files then delete the source and careful with the large files, it's easy to forget when changing file systems.

So there's no way to recover them? I am going to start backing up more often.
Hi guys,
I'm trying to recover some deleted files (I've tried some apps but they can recovery only some known formats, jpg, doc, contacts, I didn't find a generic one) so I made a full internal memory dump using this guide -> df.lth.se/~jokke/androidfilerecovery/.
Now I'm trying to use testdisk to recover my files but using it against the dump, it finds only one partition with no files inside.
How can I do this job? Did I make something wrong (excluding deleting things I need :crying. Dumpfile is about 15GB big.
Thank you!
And for some reason when I paste it in my windows directory, it doesnt paste. When I check the folder size on my device via windows it shows as 0 bytes. Maybe thats part of the problem? I'm basically trying to transfer my TB backups from one device to restore on another.
Maybe the filenames are too long? Try to rename the folder with backups to something short like "TB" on the device, and then copy it to the root directory of your hard drive on the PC (C:/ for example). If it shows 0 bytes, does it even work? I mean, do you even see any files inside the folder on Windows?
hello,
I have a xiaomi redmi 9 pro phone.
rooted.
I used fstop app to move 80 photo from internal memory to sdcard. sdcard was full and the move has been done and create 0kb file in sdcard.
Photo from inernal memory have been deleted by the app.
I used a lot of app to look for my lost photo but I don't find stuff. I found a lot of "not deleted photo". I don't find any usefull tool that could ignore not deleted files (whatapp and my personnal photo are quite huge, more than 4000 photos).
also I'm surprised not to find a lot of thumbnail because there should be a lot of thumbnail on my phone and also a lot of deleted thumbnail.
I have the date and name of deleted photo isn't there a clever tool that exist and could find them ?
using tool like diskdigger or undeleter that need root access, I don't find stuff, even when looking in a lot of volume. What I'm missing ?
My dream tool :
look for really deleted file
if there are real file : filter by folder, by filename, date, etc.
do you have some tips for me ?
If you have rooted your phone and used several Android recovery tools, but none of them have scanned your lost photos. It is possible that they have been overwritten by new files. The overwritten files cannot be recovered.
That's what happens when you MOVE a file from one drive ( internal sdcard ) to another drive ( external sdcard ):
The file contents are copied in full to some location on the target disk drive.
The directory of the target folder on the target drive is updated to include the new file copied.
The directory of the source folder where the file used to reside is updated to no longer list the file. This causes the actual data for that file on the source drive to be released and marked as unused space.
