It’s not new thing , We’ve all
done it deleted files, photos or videos
by accident. No need to be worried, though. There are ways to recover your data
whether you’re rooted or not. Time is always of the essence though: do not save
anything else to your device or switch it off until you attempt recovery. Turn off
your Wi-Fi and 3G/4G connection so that no automatic updates occur and
overwrite anything before you’ve had a chance to recover lost data on Android.
Working Tricks to recover Android lost data (OT ROOTED)
“If you haven't heard what is
"Rooted" that means you might not have rooted”
Once you’ve checked the obvious –
such as looking in the Trash of your photos app, which stores files you’ve
deleted from your gallery until it’s emptied – the next step is to connect your
phone to a PC and run a file recovery app. However, there’s one little problem
with that: post-Ice Cream Sandwich versions of Android ditched the Mass Storage
Protocol that made your internal storage look like a flash drive, so many tried
and tested recovery methods won’t work any more. Don’t worry, though, because
we’ve got a solution to that too.
If the file(s) you’re looking for
were on your memory card, you can use a Micro SD Card Adapter to attach your
microSD via USB. Then download Recuva (you can use either the paid or free
version), which is a program to recover files. You can also use other programs,
such as Coolmuster or Wondershare Dr. Fone (which requires root but is
available for Mac or PC), but Recuva is a great free tool.
Note:
Normally, for most of these programs to work, your memory must be formatted as
FAT32, NTFS or similar. If format is not
recognized for some reason, you can just do a complete copy of its contents to
your computer, reformat the memory card as FAT32 and then dump the copied files
back on it and continue the process.
When you run Recuva, the first
thing to do is select the type of file you want to recover: Pictures, Videos,
Music, Documents, etc. The option to restore from a specific location is
available and you can even set a specific folder to attempt recovery from. Note
that Recuva will only display locations it can actually recover data from. Just
follow the prompts in the program.
Important:
When you finish recovering your deleted files, it’s highly advisable to save
them on a different device to the one on which they were originally lost: this
can sometimes cause conflicts and hinder recovery. So if you are recovering
files from your smartphone, record them on the hard disk of the PC and then
transfer them over later, once they’re safe and sound.
If the file(s) were on your
internal storage, don’t worry: we can fix that too. If you haven’t already
enabled the developer options in Android, go to Settings > About Phone >
Build Number (or your phone’s equivalent; for example, on a Galaxy S5 it’s Settings
> About device > Build Number) and then tap the build number section
seven times. Once you’ve done that, go into Settings > Developer Options and
enable USB debugging. You should now be able to use an app such as Wondershare
Dr Fone to scan your device.
Tips to Recover lost data on Android (If you have ROOT access
to your android device)
Ø First
of all Download Undelete.
Ø The
application is very simple. The first thing to do is to select the storage
device from which you want to retrieve your data (can be internal or external
memory).
Ø Then
you scan the selected device.
Ø The
process may take between two and 10 minutes, depending on your memory size and
the amount of stored data.
Ø When
finished you will be presented with retrievable data in several tabs: Files,
Pictures, Music, Videos, Documents and Files. Recovered data returns to its
place of origin, ie wherever it was saved before they were lost.
Ø This
option may only work partially (if there is a problem with your memory). In
that case, proceed to the Recuva steps above, or use Wondershare or another
root recovery program.
