SD File Recovery

Hi All,

Looking for some help here guys!!

Family member handed in his Sharp 77SH phone to be looked at due to an earpiece problem.

The phone got factory reset without him knowing and to make a long story short all his photos and files were deleted.

The phone had a Micro SD Card which may or may not have had the photos on it but when I try to recover through a card reader windows won’t recognize the card.

Without going into too much detail he is an elderly gent who had some of the last photos of his daughter who died young a few years ago and the pictures have immense sentimental value to him.

He does not have a computer so nothing was backed up.

Would anyone please know a way of recovering these photos and videos or failing that a good data recovery company which deals in flash memory recovery.

Many thanks for your help in advance guys!

Dave..

No need for a pro... at least not yet. I've personally used PhotoRec with some relative success. Give it a try, and let us know how it goes!

Oh, and if you're worried, PhotoRec does no writing, only reading, so there's no chance of it destroying your data any further.

What do you mean by it hangs? Nothing moves at all? Have you tried waiting a bit?

Hmmm... maybe you can try recovering the card on another computer?

Always searched for the good data recovery tool, recently has found program MultiStage Recovery. Now I use only to it.

First do not panic! It is possible to recover your pictures if you take care. Take the card from the phone (powered off) and if it has a "write protect" tab then lock it now. Do not try and write anything to the card or you risk causing more problems. You can either plug in you camera to the PC as it should appear as a “Removable Drive” or put the card in a card reader attached to your PC.

Next, if you are comfortable with using a PC then you can download a photo recovery utility that will recover your photos from the following link:

Recuva (for Windows, freeware)
Mac Photo Recovery(for Mac OS X shareware)

If you need something a little more "user friendly" then you will need to buy the software. If you search the web for photo recovery software you will find many. One I have used successfully is Wondershare Photo Recovery that used to be bundled with some other products. Now you can get it from the link below:

You can try the demo to see what you can recover before buying.

Remember - Do NOT try & write anything back to the card until you can recover your pictures to your PC safely! Merry Christmas!

Hi,

have you got files restored from your sd card?

Whenever you lost files and want to restore files off sd card, please stop using the card from taking more photos or do more operation on that card.

Download a recovery program, better free ones like this one much better than simple undelete tool recuva here is the download page:
