Literally every second user of a tablet or smartphone, in case of deleting important data, wonders if it is possible to recover deleted files on the Android platform when there is neither a laptop nor a computer at hand.
For example, on a PC, lost information is restored easily and simply. For this, they use special programs scanning a flash drive or hard drive. As a rule, as a result of using such a "technology", at least most of the files are returned to their place.
When data is lost from a non-removable internal memory, you need to do this:
The functional action of Recuva is based on this:
- Launching the program opens a window with different types files that need to be restored.
- Having determined the parameters that the program will have to find during the scan, it will be possible to connect an addition in the form of an in-depth analysis. By setting such conditions, the system will be able to recover much more information. True, this will take more time (up to several hours).
- After the scanning procedure is completed, a list of files that need to be restored will be displayed on the computer screen. When you make sure that the selected in green information you really need for resuscitation, check the box and continue the workflow of the program.
- Move the reanimated files to your mobile gadget.
The functionality of 7-Data Android Recovery app is similar to Recuva. the difference is that it is able to interact with any type of internal memory. This means that it can be used to revive lost information not only from internal and external media, but also from a RAM device.
After the program is installed, the scanning process of the mobile device is activated. Next, the user will be shown a list of files to be restored. Moreover, previously deleted images can be viewed in the “preview” mode and select only those that are actually needed, and not all in a row.
When the program ends, all data will be returned to the mobile gadget.
Restoring files on a mobile device
Sometimes it happens that it is not possible to connect a tablet or smartphone, and deleted files need to be restored urgently. In such a situation, there is a reason to download several special applications that can work from the phone.However, it should be noted here that some of them may require either. And this function automatically removes the manufacturer's warranty from your mobile gadget.
Basket
Another simple and affordable method that allows you to reanimate deleted data on mobile devices is the “recycle bin”. It works similarly to a program for a personal computer:- Data that has been deleted is stored in storage.
- If you need to restore the files, you can move them to their original location.
- After the time set by the user himself, the information will be deleted.
In order to prevent the loss of information, you must download the application in advance, or a similar program and activate it on your mobile device.
After the application is installed, any file that has not yet been deleted from the trash can be reanimated. Manufacturers provide the GT Recovery application for free.
This program allows you to recover information of any format:
- text,
- video,
- a photo.
- If there are instructions for a free program or for a mobile device (your), it is likely that you will get superuser rights. For example, Samsung is suitable for using the Odin application.
- For the version of GT Recovery no Root, for example, root is not needed.
You can download the application from the same in two versions, among which one is paid, and the other is not.
The difference is that the free version allows you to reanimate images that have been deleted, while the paid version allows you to reanimate all without exception. Moreover, both from internal memory and from a flash drive.
The program provides a simple management of the recovery process:
- After the user selects the desired folder, a full scan is performed, resulting in a list of files requiring recovery.
- Having determined the amount of necessary information, it is restored to where it was before the deletion.
Among the disadvantages of the program is the need for root access. Titanium backup, like the two previous versions, is free.
The application works in the Recycle Bin mode, only more functionality is provided here:
- Video and photo,
- Two program modes (files or full settings),
- SMS and Contacts (if they were entered into the memory card).
The data to be recovered is stored on the SSD card (TitaniumBackup folder).
Separate types"former" settings (they are backups), you can return to new phone. The exception is the OS settings, as this leads to a failure of the software functionality.
When you view the list of files and applications, you will see whether it has been backed up or not. Though this program has a lot of positive characteristics compared to the Recycle Bin, the rights of the "superuser" will still be needed. In addition, a number of obvious disadvantages include the fact that it must be installed on the phone in advance, otherwise it will not be possible to restore files. Here, of course, typical varieties look much more promising, since they can be installed on the device at any time. And frankly, it will take up quite a lot of space in memory.
Prevention
Now you know what to do if a file is accidentally deleted from your smartphone or tablet. But is there any way to prevent this? It turns out you can:- Install additional recovery programs for cases of inaccessibility to the Internet. It is possible even in several versions with saving on a memory card.
- most important information periodically select and transfer to other media from increased level protection. If there is nowhere, then you can also on a PC.
- If you want to achieve the most complete recovery of lost information (regardless of the method), do not allow the recording to be saved in the memory of a tablet or smartphone, as well as on a USB flash drive until it is received desired file back.
In the process of recovering files, turn off the GSM module and Wi-Fi, since any SMS that suddenly arrives will knock down the necessary settings.
There are tools that will help you find deleted files on Android: applications, pictures, PDF documents and various other information. But you should always try to prevent loss! Be careful, do it regularly backup to schedule your apps, games, contacts, messages, calls, settings, bookmarks, calendar entries and so on.
I faced the harsh reality just yesterday, when in a fit of emotion, wanting to free up a small amount of memory on one of my drives, I deleted a folder with 5 GB of data: images, applications. This catalog contained all the valuables that I have collected over the years and used on a daily basis. As you know, all documents less than one gigabyte are sent to the Trash, but if you shred big file, it is erased at the very moment you select "Yes" in the Windows system dialog. When I found out that 5 GB had been deleted permanently, I was in total despair.

Android Lollipop. I decided to encrypt seditious photos. Entered a password. They went to the GallerySafe/Si folder and could not be deciphered back. And when you click on "encrypt" disappeared in general, no one knows where. How can I make sure they don't? Or is it better to find and delete?
Answer. What you describe is basically impossible. There is something missing in the description. The fact is that after encryption, all folders remain in place and are available on the same device where encryption was performed. If the folder is missing, then this happened most likely by accident due to your own mistake. Try to find files in the phone memory manually using any file manager, in the search by setting the condition: only image files.

Very often, data is deleted not from the sd card, but from the internal android memory. In this situation, no program for recovering files on Android helps. That is, users are not only deprived of valuable data, but also limited in recovery methods.
This method of recovering data from the internal memory of an Android phone cannot be called very simple. But it works and has been successfully tested by me. The described recovery method was suggested by the Wartickler user on the forum.xda-developers.com forum and supplemented by a very useful article on Habrahabr (most of the relevant information is from there. Thanks to the author for the presentation).
Who will benefit from a guide to recovering data from a phone. File deletion scenarios
It turns out that there is the possibility of a deep scan of the internal memory of Android. All you need to recover data from your phone:
- download free utilities recovery
- carefully read the instructions for data recovery
- repeat the steps described in it on Android.
Difficulty of recovering from the internal memory of the phone
Android's internal memory is not connected as a disk, as is the case with an external sd card, which you can always connect to your computer. External memory allows you to use data recovery tools that scan deleted files and help restore them to a healthy state.
Usually, the operating system simply removes the link pointer in the inode, which tells that the file exists with such and such a name and it is located in this position on the hard disk / in memory. There are effective tools for deleting data, they overwrite the deleted file in several cycles, preventing recovery in this way.
The catch is that data recovery software needs an actual drive to deep scan photos deleted by accident. New phone models often do not support external SD cards, which are very easy to mount as disks using a card reader. This slightly complicates Android recovery: the internal memory is mounted as MTP/PTP, which is not considered a mounted drive and therefore not recognized by data recovery applications. However, we can solve this problem.
Steps to restore internal memory
I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus Toro phone. I believe that the recovery method is suitable for any android phone with internal memory. We will also need Windows 7 or higher to:
- Back up a partition of the phone's internal memory to a computer as a single massive file in RAW format,
- Convert RAW file to virtual HDD,
- Mount virtual hard drive as a drive in Disk Manager,
- Scan mounted virtual hard disk,
- Find deleted files, recover data from android phone with Recuva resuscitator
Checklist of essential data recovery tools
- Android phone with root access
- Installed BusyBox (set of Linux console utilities)
- The installed linux environment for Windows is Cygwin with pv and util-linux from the repository. You need to open the Cygwin application at least once to make sure the /bin folder is created. Also, I made a folder in to put the exported .raw file there,
- Netcat Unix utility (download the ZIP file and extract nc.exe to ),
- (make sure adb.exe is in windows environment path),
- USB debugging on the device,
- VHD tool from the mighty Microsoft. Place the VhdTool.exe file in .
- Piriform Recuva or your favorite data recovery tool (Recuva finds only the most known types files: images, videos, etc. To recover more exotic file types on Android, use more specialized programs)
Install BusyBox on your phone and provide root access
We will need a copy of the internal memory partition of the phone, it is not so easy to make it. You will need the BusyBox unix utility set and root access to perform operations with these applications.
BusyBox and KingoRoot you can download on our website or directly on w3bsit3-dns.com (registration is required to download files there). We put the utilities in the following order: KingoRoot, then BusyBox.
The root manager of KingoRoot is installed simply: turn on the Internet on the phone, run the installer. It "roots" the phone - that is, it includes full access to the Android system. Next, install BusyBox. Leave the default path as the installation directory.
Install KingoRoot on your phone
Recovery from Android internal memory. Connect phone to PC in ADB mode
Connect the powered phone to the computer in ADB mode. The easiest way to do this is to download the adb drivers for your phone model and install them on your computer. It is advisable to restart the PC after that.
On the phone, turn on the debugging mode (Options - Developer options - check the box "USB debugging"). If there is no such section, go to the About device section, click on the "Build number" line 7 times.
Connect the phone to the computer via a USB cable. If a request for debugging mode appears on the phone, we agree.
Making a raw copy of the partition from the phone
The way to recover from the internal memory of the phone is based on the complaints of people having problems while following the guide. I advise restoring a full block of memory instead of a data partition. I have it called mmcblk0. Check if your disc name is different from mine. Decide which block or section you want to return. I needed to restore the partition with user data: /dev/block/mmcblk0p12.
Open a Cygwin console (assuming BusyBox is installed at ), although it might be . Run the following commands in the console:
adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555 adb shell /system/bin/busybox nc -l -p 5555 -e /system/bin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Open another Cygwin terminal and type:
adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555 cd /nexus nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0p12.raw
Brew a mug of coffee. Copying the 32 GB internal memory takes about 3 hours.
Convert internal memory image to readable RAW
We need to convert raw file to virtual partition hard drive. The VhdTool.exe utility simply places the VHD footer at the end of the raw file. Open command line Windows, go to and run the command:
VhdTool.exe /convert mmcblk0p12.raw
Mounting the internal memory image in Windows
Now you need to mount the VHD image in Windows. Go to Computer Management (Start - Computer - Management). Go to Disk Management.
Menu Action - Attach VHD.
Specify as a source
Right-click on the name to the left of the unallocated space and select Initialize Disk. Select GPT.
Right click on Unallocated File Space - Create Simple Volume.
A window will appear asking you to format the drive. DO NOT AGREE to format the drive at this point. not always possible!
Right click on RAW space and select Format... Specify type file system FAT32. Set the allocation block size to "Default". Make sure the Quick Format option is checked. You don't want to overwrite the entire new disk with zeros (0) and destroy the data. A quick format means that Windows will try to destroy the index for the drive by creating a new index. Without this option, the operating Windows system will wipe the disk with zeros (0), destroying your data. Click the OK button.
A window will appear informing you that formatting this partition will delete all data on it. This would be doubly true if you didn't actually check the quick format option. Double check that you actually checked the box and click OK.
Recover files from Android internal storage image using Recuva
Open the Piriform Recuva app. In the Recovery Wizard, click Next. Select "Other" and "Next". Press the button "In certain place"and type: K:\ (assuming K is the drive letter of the mounted drive...). Click Next. Select the Deep Scan option. This is a magical option that finds files that have been deleted.. .but not actually removed.Click the "Run" button to scan the drive.
The application can scan deleted files for about an hour in Deep Scan mode. Brew two more cups of coffee!
After Rekuva gives the scan results, you can select the files to restore using the checkboxes. Click the "Restore..." button and select the location where you want to save data from your phone.
Data recovery from phone using Recuva
Question answer
I have a GALAXY 3 NOT phone. Accidentally erased recorded voice recordings on . Heard there is free program recovery. Please help if you know how to find it.
Answer. If the audio recording files were stored on an SD card, almost any file recovery application for Android and PC will work. Of the popular ones, this is Tenorshare Data Recovery, of the universal ones, we recommend downloading Recuva. If the files were stored in the internal memory of the phone, then things are more complicated. Try the Android program called or follow this guide to recover from internal memory.
Do I need to download the program to a computer or to a smartphone itself? I began to download the program to my smartphone, writes "not enough space", although there is enough internal memory. Can Renee Undeleter help you recover photos from your phone's internal memory? There was no memory card.

I moved mine important photos to the running game folder "Android/data/com.supercell.clashofclans". Then when I went to the folder on the phone, the photos disappeared. Can I restore my photos to the internal memory of SAMSUNG GALAXY J2 OC ANDROID 5.1.1?
Answer. Yes, if you follow all the steps as described in the instructions. The main thing is to determine on which disk the photos were located and make a raw copy of this particular partition. Recuva should recover photos from internal storage if the recovery status is yellow or green.
Tell me, how to understand whether the block recovery process is in progress? Everything seemed to be going fine, but after typing all the commands in the terminal, a couple of lines with zeros appeared in the second window, a *.raw file was created in the nexus folder with a size of 0 bytes, and that was it. However, after a while, on drive E: (in my case, Cygwin was installed from there), a file was found with the name something like vhd 499 MB in size (it restored a 12 GB block), but the most interesting thing was that a virtual disk was created with the only empty recovery.txt file! Something went wrong?
Answer. That's right, the vhd is mounted, and after a quick format, there should be no files on it at all. Now you need to run Recuva and specify this drive to search for files on it. If the snapshot of the internal memory of Android was taken correctly, the files should appear in the list of found files during a deep scan.
If the raw file is not suitable for recovery, try another way to create a snapshot of the internal memory - by creating an ftp server when the phone is used as a usb modem. The process is described in the above article on Habrahabr (link at the top of this article).
I have samsung tablet GT-P7510. Android 4.0.4. I did everything as in your post. I have a Samsung folder. A vhdtool file appeared in it - 184KB and a raw file, but it is 0KB. I can’t try the second method with FTP, because no USB-Modem option.
Answer. Try downloading netcat 64-bit version. When entering commands in the console, use nc64 instead of nc.
If it does not help, then here is another instruction for restoring from internal memory.

The problem is this: the tablet freezes, some photos were restored in service center, but the huts were reflashed and seemed to have formatted the internal memory. I tried to restore the programs, but the tablet connects as an mtp, and not as a flash drive, and it's impossible to scan. Is it possible to recover data from internal memory on Android by copying an image of memory and its partitions?
Answer. Yes, the process is detailed above. Using an ftp server, you can make an exact image of a memory card as a raw file and mount it on a computer, then with any program (in this case– Recuva) to restore a photo from an image of the internal memory of the phone.
Updates have arrived for xiaomi redmi 3 special. Updated, installed - everything works. But the videos and photos saved on the internal memory of the phone disappeared. The most interesting thing is that the total memory of the phone shows 25 Gb, but it should be 32. Perhaps the lost files are there. I searched all the folders but didn't find anything. How to recover deleted files in the internal memory of the phone, where to look for them?
Answer. Photos and videos are stored in the DCIM/Camera folder. If you did not use an external sd card for saving, then the multimedia files were located in the internal memory, and therefore, they need to be looked for there.
The photo folder may have been overwritten during the mobile device update process. By the way, part of the phone's memory is occupied by system files, so this does not indicate that the files you need are stored in a hidden form.
Try searching for files with DiskDigger for Android, if it doesn't help, make an image of the phone's internal memory, then scan the connected drive with Reucva on your computer.
I decided to delete a bad photo, while accidentally deleting some of the other necessary photos. The photos were in the memory of the phone itself. When connected to a computer, the phone is not shown as a separate drive. Therefore, as I understand it, I cannot recover files with a simple program, since they were on the phone itself, in the internal memory. What program can I restore them? For me, some simple option is better, because I almost do not understand this. If possible, with a description of the actions, steps.
Answer. simple methods there is no recovery of the internal memory of the phone. As a rule, recovery programs for Android work only with external memory or require root to access the phone's memory, while looking far into all areas of internal memory. Accordingly, the only possible way- make an image of the phone's memory, in the next step you can use any program. It is important that you do not work with the phone until this moment, otherwise the files may be overwritten.
I am tormented by the question: is it possible to recover photos from the phone's memory itself, and not from a memory card. I really need photos from the Camera folder. When I myself try to recover deleted photos through the programs that you recommended, some unnecessary photos from Telegram, someone's avatars are restored, but not photos from the camera at all. Is it possible to restore them?
Answer. Indeed, although the developers claim that their programs will restore files in all areas of memory, in fact most of data is ignored during scanning - either there are not enough rights, or the program simply does not know how to do it. If you have enough experience, take a picture of the internal memory of the device according to our instructions. The process takes a lot of time, but there is a chance that among other garbage you will find exactly the photos you need. In addition, it is absolutely free way recovery, so you can experiment in your free time.
1. I bought a new phone (ZTE Blade X3), I wanted to replace the memory card from the old phone, but I forgot to turn off the new phone before that. All the photos from the internal memory of the phone disappeared somewhere, but those that were on the memory card remained. There is only one question: how to recover photos from the internal memory of the phone?
2. Accidentally deleted a folder with photos in the internal memory of the phone. As a result, the photos remained in the Android Gallery, but in black and gray, with the inscription "file deleted or damaged." Is there any way I can restore the photo?
Answer. First, check if the photos have been copied to the memory card (they may be hidden), check for errors using the chkdsk utility (Windows).
If there are no photos, you can follow the hot trail with DiskDigger or take a snapshot of the phone's internal memory and then use PhotoRec or Recuva to get the photos back.
Trying to get my lost album back from the Gallery, I downloaded two android photo recovery software. Some of the photos returned, but not the most valuable ones. How to try again with minimal risk? I want to try to return the photos that were not found, is this realistic in the current situation? Photos were stored in the internal memory of Android.
Answer. By repeatedly scanning the internal memory of the phone, you do not risk anything. But the longer you use your phone after deleting photos, the lower the chances of recovering them. Any program uses internal memory for its work and can write files to free space. In your case, it's better to take a snapshot of the phone's internal memory and experiment with it in read mode.
I want to use your method of restoring the internal memory of Android, but I have little space on the C drive - only 17GB, and the partition of the phone takes 53GB. Can I somehow create a folder for a virtual disk on the D drive? Phone Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x.
- happened next problem. Camera images were saved in the Camera folder on the SD card. When trying to transfer other image folders from internal to external storage, the Camera folder was automatically duplicated. I deleted one of the Camera folders, as a result of which the second folder was also deleted. Do not tell me if it is possible to restore these images? The transfer was carried out using a computer, maybe the images remained in the PC's memory? The information is very important.
- There was little memory left on the phone, since all the photos were saved in the internal memory. I found a way - I reset everything from the phone to the PC, while deleting everything from the internal memory. And when I transferred the folder with the files to a USB flash drive, there were no necessary photos there. I tried all the recovery programs - nothing happened.
