[Q] How to recover deleted photos without root/unlocking bootloader ?

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.

How can I recover deleted photos from unrooted phone (not mass storage)

Hi I have a Huawei p8 lite with Android 6.0 and I accidentally deleted all my DCIM photos.
Unfortunately the device is not rooted and I can't root it due to Huawei's option not to allow unlocking bootloaders anymore.
If you know how I can root it without unlocking the bootloader i can try.
Also the phone does not supports mass storage so I cannot use Recuva.
Is it possible to restore files from internal storage using MTP? I cannot use mass storage due to the device is not rooted.
Thank you!

Without root, you probably won't be able to recover your data.

Maybe you can download a lightweight photo recovery application, mobikin, this tool does not require your device to be rooted, if it is only used to recover media file,like photos.

Can't recover deleted Photos

Hi, i recently flashed Evolution x in my Redmi note 7 Using Orange fox recovery, i tried to recover my deleted photos that are on internal storage that were deleted when i wiped my data , i installed Disk digger with root access and Undeleter app , Unfortunately none of them found a single photo on internal storage , by the way , orange fox asks for a pin code which i don't have, to access internal storage should i Factory reset again to Remove encryption and Scan again for Photos ? Is there any other way ?

A Factory Reset deletes all user-data hence photos, too. Because the files aren't physically removed from internal storage memory - they simply are marked as useable space - they may get recovered, but that needs forensic tools as NSA and Israeli National Agency may have, IMO
Anyway:
To create a backup ( dump ) of the part of internal storage memory you are intested in you can run ADB command sequence as follows:
Code:
adb devices
adb exec-out "dd if=/storage/emulated/0/Photos" > "C:\Photos-Dump.iso"
Good luck.

This command is only going to create a backup of my existing photos right ?

Yes, you can easily recover your photos with the help of free tool such as Stellar Data Recovery for android which help you to get back your deleted or lost photos from your internal memory storage. i hope this information would helpful for you! Thanks.

If you have enabled the backup on Google account or local backup of Mi cloud then, you can restore data of your phone. So, you can check your backup on your mobile. If you have unable to restore photos from Google backup then, you can also try best Android recovery software on PC. I hope it will helpful for you. Thanks!
