Recover Files from dd image of mmcblk0p12

---

Hi i accidently deleted all of my images from the internal SD-Card. I have a rooted Galaxy S3 and booted in recovery and did a:

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 > int_sdcard.dd

Now i have a 12 GB int_sdcard.dd file. But i tried with Ubuntu Live CD to mount or use testdisk on it but it doesnt work.
when i try to mount it says group descriptors corrupted and testdisk doesnt find any partitions on it.

Please could you help me to recover my images.

Thankss

Thanks but the S3 only has MTP Mode so i cant use any tools which needs direct access to the storage. This is the reason why i did a dd image.

The internal SD is ext4 format, and there is no "undelete" for it (unlike FAT32), so you're going to need a forensic util to recover SOME of your images. Give photorec a try - it's open source and I've used it with success in the past.

I already tried Photorec but all i get is hundrets of txt files but no images. I Think the Problem is that i even cannot mount the dd image with the normal files inside. (i mean the files wich are not deleted). Could it be because of piping the dd command and not using the "of" parameter?
