I have Moto G XT 1034 and I accidentally deleted my photos. I tried to find recovery options but most of the recovery options require to root the device, now if I choose to root it I will first have to unlock bootloader which will wipe all my data and I will not be able to recover the deleted files.
Moto G does not connect to PC as USB mass storage and therefore some recovery software which I tried but cannot detect my phone's drive. I tried Recuva, EaseUS mobile recovery, Glary Undelete, Dr. Fone and Photo Recovery but none of them detect MTP/PTP connection.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

The first line says "If you don't use the phone's internal SD storage - There is still a chance...."
My photos were stored as per phone's default location (Moto G again) so I am not sure what is that supposed to mean for me. If there are any chance for me can you please explain in some details ?
The more you use the phone, the more you reduce the chances of recovering the photos.
The internal storage partition (/sdcard/) is used by apps, as well as for storing downloads, music, photos and videos.
The photos can be recovered as long as they space they currently occupy has not been overwritten by new files.
about two weeks ago an app misbehaved and deleted all data on my moto g. I was very frustrated and disappointed. Only pc recovery softwares were useless because internal memory can not be mounted as mass storage in newer android versions. So i rooted my phone and tried undelete pro,hexamob recovery pro, diskdigger pro. But all these apps are bull****. None of them recovered a single kilobyte of my 12 gb memory which contained music, videos, photos, my apps and their data and my favourite ebooks. Before trying these apps i had read this article too which i found only working method http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705
But i didn't try and tried those apps first. You should take a look. Btw i recovered from that pain of losing files and have new files now ☺

This sub-forum is for Moto G (1st Gen) only. However the information in this thread and links provided most likely still apply to your handset.

I checked the box to delete a whole day's worth of photos by accident. Did it before it had time to back-up to Verizon cloud, Google Photos, or anything
Device: Google Pixel XL Verizon stock - running 7.1.2 NHG47N (never rooted)
Question:
- Can I recover the photos/videos I deleted from my phone?
I am willing to root, create drive images, back-ups, the works. I've now spent a good 8-10hrs trying to find any working Mac OSX software and Android software to recover these deleted files/photos/videos but no luck. I've tried to find means to root my device but since it seems to be a Verizon Google Pixel XL I can't see that means working either.
Is there anyway to treat the phone as an external harddrive and create an exact image of the drive? Copy it and restore deleted files that way? Or any any any way to recover the files?
Much help would be appreciated, and I would be very grateful for your kindness. Best regards.
Have you searched the Play Store for an app to undelete files? I realize that every use of your phone's storage including downloading apps has the chance to overwrite some of what you want to recover, but that might be your best chance.
Unfortunately since Android started using MTP for USB file transfers, I don't know if any method exists to mount as an actual drive that would be scanable by the likes of Recuva or another Windows undelete program.

I've tried this before and here's my experience. Most Android disk digging tools require a drive that isn't internal storage to be able to write the recovered data to. This would seem doable using otg but I've never tested it and so disk digging apps aren't gonna save you unless otg is properly mountable. Windows solutions also seem to not recognize the internal storage
Hello guys, I have a S8+ 955U version tmobile. I was on oreo beta and wanted to revert back to 7.0 latest which is G955USQS2BRB1. I odin the files but it caused me to format my internal memory. i lost all my photos of my newborn.
How can I get them back?
I've tried a few programs but I have to be rooted which I'm not.
I found a thread SAMPWNED to root device but I can't downfrade that far back.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. no i did not have an sd card in the phone, all files were saved on internal.
It's really difficult to recover photos from a formatted internal SD card. Best option, I think, would be try some other recovery apps, so see if they have access to your phone, though I don't think they will have that type of low-level access.
Another possibility might be to use ADB and if you can, pre-system/security startup, enable ADB within the phone, and then you might be able to do a recovery scan of the phone partitions.
There are a few (vague?) how to's on using ADB to enter the phone pre-system/security. Search 'sonnettie', the author of one method, and you will likely find other author off-shoots of the same type of method. If I don't stay current with a thing, I forget most of the details, but that was his original(?) method, which as I was told, came to be used by others to get into the phone pre-system startup/security. It might have been obviated by the Oreo update with a bug fix.
Did you have Samsung backup configured? If so it should have uploaded the photos and you would be able to restore them. If you don't make a backup your photos are already lost, you never know when your phone might die, be stolen or in this case get formatted. Google photos is a good alternative to keep your photos backing up.
Some people have incorrectly stated that it is possible to recover the photos after formatting internal storage. The data partition is encrypted by default and unless you are able to recover both, encryption key (it was most likely overwritten during first boot after factory reset) and the part of the partition containing the photos, you cannot get your photos back. Also, I have not seen any commercial data recovery software, which is capable of finding encryption keys and deciphering corrupted data partition.
Exactly, the phone is encrypted, not remotely possible to recover the photos scanning the memory

good to know.
Thanks everyone for your input. After spending countless hours trying to root phone so I could get a data recovery program on it, I gave up. Turns out I had google photos and Samsung cloud turned on and it synced all my media. I got all my media back on my phone.
Thanks guys
@OP
i want to remind you that if you are doing like updating, flashing, modifying, always make a back up thank god samsung cloud is doing that for you., but i always make a hard copy to my sd card always you newer know right. i am happy for you that you got your data back
For two day I've been trying to recover (photos and videos) that I deleted from albums and from Deleted Folder saved on device main storage, not SD card nor Google photos.
I tried almost all data/media recovery apps from Google Play with no results, as some require rooted device to achieve this purpose right. I also tried some PC software but without root enabled no recovery was possible.
So, I finally was able to root the mobile with VMOS unlocker, but it added another operating system to the mobile, so whatever recovery attempt made, it does not search into the original OS storage, thus it can't locate nor recover the deleted files.
I would truly appreciate any help to recover the deleted files, if possible.

Hi i recently made a backup with wondershare mobile trans and it created a .BAK file of 30gb and it is corrupted i don't know why, I can't read videos and photos (if you know any way to access the data in it even if it is corrupted please tell me), i tried extracting it with winrar but it only extracts 6gb of some photos , the rest is corrupted it can't finish extraction.
I flashed a new rom and orange fox recovery , i have root access , i installed disk digger with full root access but it can't find any photo (not a single one) in my internal storage , is there any way to recover my photos from internal storage ?
I flashed my phone before knowing The backup file .BAK was corrupted
If you flash a ROM then Android's internal storage memory - who is surprised ? - gets completely overwritten, means previously stored data have been lost.

I formatted internal storage before flashing the new rom
Steps to recover your deleted data from your rooted Android device-
1. Connect Your Android device.
2. Launch Android Data Recovery software on computer and choose 'Data Recovery'
3. Choose file types to Scan
4. Preview and restore lost data from Android phone.
Stop using your phone to prevent new files from overwriting lost data. Then try to use data recovery software to detect the photos from internal storage. If it can be detected, recovery is simple.

I tend to think it's a lost cause especially if the drive is zeroed out when you flashed.
Don't know but...
This wouldn't surprise me as it's a wise precaution to ensure a clean flash/load.
Even if not overwritten the file structure is lost as that was certainly overwritten when you flashed it. All you will find at best is completely random disjointed files.
The images will have no metadata ie time stamp etc. If you have hundreds, thousands of random images just forgetting about them becomes the less frustrating option many times. There's no way to index them except by memory, one at a time.
Been there, done that
Hi, I recently tried flashing the OnePlus Open Beta 3 from the official website. But I did the mistake of not backing my data. The phone went into bootloop (https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...eason-adb-pull-mnt-vender-op2-rbr_log.1388441).
Then as suggested in the comments, it asked to do `fastboot -w`, as it said it would just change the slot. But instead, it formatted `userdata` and now I have lost all my internal storage content. (But it did fix the bootloop).
Is there any way now to restore any part of that data?
I've used an app called diskdigger in the past that worked well to recover deleted pics. It's available in the play store. Read the app description about using it with root vs. without. Without root, it can pretty much only scan through your cache and thumbnails. With root it can be much more through and can retrieve full size images.

I did try it, on multiple detected partitions, but all it could find was a couple of app thumbnails.
