Can anyone tell me here if its possible to recovery deleted files from an SD card that was in my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge? I had video clips in my *Gallery* and then moved all of it over into a few folders that I created on my SD card inside of my phone. This being said I still had all of the clips in my *Gallery* on my phone but I take it that even though it was there in my Gallery that the actual file was located on my SD card. Well I thought by me deleting the videos from my Gallery on my phone that it would still be on my SD card and just not in my Gallery. Could anyone tell me if these files can still be recovered? I Google'd a few things and came across an app called *Undelete* from the Google Play store which I downloaded and installed and it seems like the app can only recovery image files from a cache I believe but in order to use the app fully that I need to have my phone rooted. So I then searched about rooting and just now downloaded what I believe is a root tool for my phone onto my Windows 7 computer. Please any and all help would be greatly appreciated with this.

hey guys, i'm desperate for help. i use my phone for literally everything, and things have been smooth up until now. none of the stock apps (music player, gallery, video player) and several other downloaded apps (real player, doubletwist) will show any of the pictures, songs or videos that are on my SD card which were transferred over via usb. these are the things i've already tried:
1. factory reset
2. different sd cards
3. formatting sd cards
4. several different file types
5. root/unroot (made no difference with it rooted or unrooted)
6. putting files on internal sd card, not external sd card
if i go under 'my files', everything is there. its just that no apps can access the stuff. please help me out guys, i'd really appreciate it. thanks!
Make sure you put the applications in the right folder of the sd card!
Make sure you have the right pivileges on your files.
can you guys be a tad more specific....
Hi,
I spend two days on recovering my accidently deleted video, but without luck.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8010).
I made video's with the camera app, the video's where stored on the local sd card, no external sd card installed at that time.
I clicked wrong button using Kies Air (WiFi) and accidently deleted the video's
I quickly found out it won't work without rooting the device. So I routed it using Odin. (Never knew it was so easy)
I installed an external sd card, this to use the internal one as less as possible, preventing the video's to be overwritten
I started with Undelete, but it won't work for the internal sd, probably because it is EXT4 formatted. It's FAT only.
Next was Hexamob Recovery Pro, but it finds only some video's that are not deleted...
Disk Digger finds a lot of small video's, none of them is playable, nor by the tablet or computer (windows 7)
I found this howto: http://android-photo-recovery.com/t...deos-from-android-phones-internal-memory.html
Sounds promising, but it went wrong on the 'mass storage' option that seems to be disabled since JB. I tried serveral solutions to this (https://play.google.com/store/search?q=mass+storage+). Also I tried an xda-dev thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023444 None of these solutions worked. Another try: http://blog.droidzone.in/2013/01/10/using-usb-mass-storage-mode-on-galaxy-note-2/ but this tut uses SManager (Script manager) which isn't compatible with my device.
I'm stuck at this point, so I hope for some kind soul at XDA to help me out (if it's even possible).
All help is greatly appreciated!

I went to Wal-Mart and picked up a 64GB SD card. I just purchased the tablet yesterday and rooted it using towelroot but that's all I've done. I put the SD card in and it's recognized and showing the correct available space. I'm able to create a file using ESFile explorer but I can't do anything with it. I tried a couple torrent clients to download files to the SD card and it keeps saying unable to write to folder or that it's write protected. When in file explorer I can create a file and under properties it does show it's able to be written to. I also have downloaded and tried the kitkat SD card fix app. I've gotten pretty frustrated with it so just did a complete factory reset and going to start from scratch. I was able to move apps to SD card using an app but that's all I could do. I'd really like to put any/all downloaded apps and files on the SD card since I only have a 16GB version.
Any ideas what I can do?

Well just an update after doing a factory reset everything seems to work now, of course i get to download everything again. I think it might have had something to do with the OTA update. After doing the factory reset it kept the update. Now I can freely move to and from the SD card so all is good.
FYI, since you are rooted I would suggest installing the Xposed Framework and then install the "HandleExternalStorage" module, the KitKat update cripples external SD card access so file managers, emulators, and the like can no longer write to the SD card. Installing this module re-enables external SD card read/write access for all applications, it is not the device. There is also an app on the Play Store call 'SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD' which accomplishes the same thing, however the Xposed module is much safer as it can be enabled and disabled at will. Simply install the module, enable it, and that's it.
Hi guys,
Big problem here.. My sister had a problem with her phone, and
she ask me to put custom rom on it. The phone is Samasung Galaxy S3 mini.
So I told her to move here pictures to external hard disk, and she did.
I preinstalled the phone and formated the SD card to be clean.
Few days after this she called me with panic in her voice and said
that some folders that she moved from the SD card to the external drive
are empty. And When she copied the pictures she got no error message.
Just did not checked them for sure, and now very important pics are gone.
Is there any way to recover this pictures guys?
Any ideas will be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Don't use the phone! Just plug out the external SD out and put it into a computer. Next download Recuva and use it's deep scan feature to scan for deleted files. This may take a while (up to 5 hours) but it's the best possible solution.
Note that not all files can be restored.
I recently bought an SD card for my ZTE Paragon and I've tried so hard to find a way to root it and try to get the internal storage to move my apps to my SD card. I don't have a computer available and am seriously getting stressed about this. Please someone help me, this 1.27 GB of storage that's taken up by 400 mb of system BS is aggravating. It is a Z753G, thank you!

As I myself am hitting brick walls in rooting my galaxy Luna and being stuck with laughable internal storage I found an app that has been quite handy to an extent. It's free in Google play its called Apk share/App send Bluetooth. It makes a copy of the app you select as an apk, and then allows you to send the app via Bluetooth to another device. I have been using it to send apks to my tablet which has an SD card as the default write disk, so I can move the SD to any device and all the apks are on the SD in my Bluetooth file.
The nifty thing is that you can also send the apks to other places if there's no secondary device available to you. You can send them to your Google drive, Google+, gmail and even through text message. Then you just install the apk from the Bluetooth folder on the SD like you would any other apk ?
This method may not technically save you any space if you require every app you have on the device though which sucks, especially if you are running lollipop. So if this is not helpful I apologize. However I hope this can help even just temporarily! On the plus side it can be a good way to back up all the apps you may need or want to have on SD before/during root process
