Greetings all,
I have been tearing my hair out for weeks trying what seems about every possible method to recover deleted photos from a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300T. (Telstra)
The photos were stored on the phone not the SD card but in a moment of madness I accidentally deleted them.
The phone runs Android 4.3.
The phone has been rooted with CF Autoroot, RootChecker says the phone is rooted and Superuser is granting appropriate permissions, and USB debugging has been enabled.
When I run Wondershare Dr Fone or Easeus Mobisaver, each program seems to scan and finds a lot of files such as gifs, png's etc but not the deleted photos.
To test the device I took about 30 photos without the SD and deleted the album. Then I ran each program again with the same negative result.
Neither Wondershare or Easeus support lines have been of any use.
I ran Undelete app and no result either.
The photos were taken during the recent Nepal earthquake at the site and I am desperately needing to recover them.
My eternal thanks will be extended to anyone who can help me save them.

Hi,
I accidentally deleted the whole gallery of photos, probably located in DCIM inside the internal memory of my s5.
Right after that, I removed my sim card and use a backup phone I had. The only new things I added in is to root the phone and try to recover the photos. Tried using several recovery software from both my PC and my phone but they did not recover any of the deleted photos.
I then follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705
which gave me the same results. All I recover were stuff used by other applications like watsapp etc.
Would like to know if there is any way that I can recover the photos?
Thank you

I tried rooting my device, but apparently I'm one of the unlucky ones that is unable to (SM-G925V | G925VVRU4CPC2).
I really need to recover two photos I deleted. Luckily I have the one photo I sent to someone in text, however I deleted the original.
I've looked around online, and most of the recovery apps require root. Any help?

Hi,
I have accidentally deleted few videos and photo from my Samsung Note-3. I have tried DiskDigger and before trying DiskDigger I have rooted the phone. But unfortunately I didn't get the desired data. It is actually returning me the videos or the picture which are still in my phone memory and i have moved them to some other directory. I have also tried the Wondershare Dr.fone but I am unable to see my desired data there, as I don't have the purchased version so unable to recover.
Does anyone has done similar kind of recovery please let me know and guide.
Thanks & Regards
My father in law is in poor health and my wife fact reset her device...i told her we can get the pics she had on there but need to root it to gain super user to recover the photos...but I have never done that procedure. If there is an app or better way I am all for it. She pics were NOT on the SD card, saved to device directly.
Yes, you can recover your deleted pictures from internal memory of Samsung phone. And yes, you may require to root your phone to restore deleted photos. But before rooting your phone, I will suggest you can check your Google backup or local of your smartphone. These deleted pictures may available on your backup.

You're absolutely right: When it comes to try to recover deleted data on an Android phone, phone's Android MUST be rooted, otherwise you can forget trying to recover deleted data.

Hello guys,
I tried to use the search function but came up with no relevant answers. So a person close to me has accidentally deleted a whole album from the gallery app on Samsung Galaxy S7. I tried to use several software solutions but the results were not good. Is there a reliable way to recover the whole album or is it gone ?
Phone's Android must be rooted when it comes to recover deleted / wiped user-data.
If rooted then take it to authorized service center and let them try to recover the data in hope they have the forensic tool to do so.
So there isn't a reliable way to do it at home ?
Hi, nice to meet you. If you want to recover deleted photos from internal storage without backup, first stop using your phone in case of data overwritten. Then you need to ask help from pro shop or phone data recovery software like Dr.fone, Coolmuster Lab.Fone for Android, Recuva for Android, etc. Such software needs you to root your phone before using it. About the details, please search online. Just have a try and good luck to you.
