Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) currently running Android 6.0.1. There were some photos which I deleted back in July, I want to recover them from the internal memory, however the storage is only 16 GB and most of the time it has remained almost full since then, also there are some whatsapp conversations, text messages, and whatsapp images and videos that I want to recover ever since I bought the phone, most of the images and videos were deleted immediately after I received them. Is there any way to recover all of this data? My phone is not rooted, if the process requires root and can be done, do let me know, thanks.

If you want to recover data on your android using recovery apps then you need rooted android.
You can recover data on PC without root by any data recovery software available.

Nearly impossible, because of your limited storage space, every time it writes something of your new photos or other data in the internal storage, it may be erasing something else that has been "deleted", so your deleted files have been overwritten and cannot be recovered.

Sorry to say that, but I don't think you can get the deleted data back as they are overwritten by your new adding data to a great extent. Generally speaking, you can recover the deleted data by data recovery software like Jihosoft Android Phone Recovery only when you just delete them in a very short time. Additionally, your phone need to be rooted so they can be found and recovered.

You could search for sd card data recovery software for Windows. Connect your sdcard to your pc then run the software, you should able to recover the deleted data.
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.
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
Hi to all, i did install today disk digger, hoping that i will get some old pictures, but instead i deleted it all. I tried to root my galaxy s7 with kingroot, kingo root, vroot etc, but couldn't root, cause some pc software manage to restore, but it needs rooted phone. So i was hoping that someone had simmilar issue and managed to solve it. Is there any way to get without root? Btw i also tried to root with odin, but it failed. It's samsung s7 with stock oreo, exynos. Yeah i don't use sd card, all my photos were on internal memory.

You can recover photos the same was you would on a pc. Get some media recovery software plug in your phone and choose the partition to recover from. The success of this depends on how much has been already overwritten by doing other stuff to the phone before you attempt recovery.
I tried several pc softwares but they require root. Another one can't see my internal storage, but sd card is visible. I tried to get my internal memory visible, as mass memory, but i didn't.
Edit: I did used disk digger from playstore, but i deleted them all, cause it found 7k pictures, mostly about 200, 300kb, so i didn't thought that will delete from my gallery
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.
