How To Recover deleted holiday photos & Videos on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

[walkerxp]

I've somehow just deleted all my holiday photos on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

They were all stored in the phone memory.

I've read the only way to recover most of them is to use some sort of external software like EaseUS mobile software for android.

But for it to work my phone has to be rooted.

Looking at various root methods it gets confusing as they say it wipes your phones internal memory which will wipe all the photos if they are still there?

My Galaxy Note 8 is a SM-N950F build number NMF26X.N950FXXU3BRA9.

Most internet recovery software for purchase like DR Fone and Fonelab appear to be scams and I'm sceptical they will work.

Ay advice on recovery solutions would be most welcome.

Thanks in Advance.:crying:

Just wanted to mention.....I'm pretty sure by default the gallery app backs up pics to the cloud (when connected to wifi) if you never disabled this setting (i do) its possible your pics are backed up to your samsung account....

+1 for automatic backup from gallery or Google photos if you have that installed.

I'm not certain about file recovery on Android, however I do know you should refrain from using the storage if you plan on recovering data from it.

M curious how you deleted them in the first place? Try connecting phone to laptop and run recuva on the dcim/ camera folder. May work?

If he was rooted and Odin flashed a stock ROM, especially with CSC (as opposed to Home-CSC), it could wipe the internal storage.
I flashed home-CSC but kept getting bootlops so I had to do a factory reset from stock recovery, losing all my data.
The pain for me was realising Samsung Restore isn't on the same level as Titanium backup restore. I had to sign jinto ALL my apps again.

Try an app called diskdigger

Sort of fixed.

Thanks every body for your replies.

Not sure how I deleted them thought I was deleting one photo but it was a stinking hot day in Singapore 34 C (feels like 39 C) I was choked up with a bad head cold I picked up in Thailand via Vietnam, just not thinking properly. Things were bound to go wrong as the SD card died at the start of the trip that's why the photos ended up in the phone memory.

While I couldn't recover the full photos and videos without root, I did run disk digger and it recovered the thumbnails of the photos while they are at a smaller resolution of 960 x467 compared the original resolution of 5000 odd x 2000 odd its better than nothing.

I have resized them up a little bit they look Ok but not as great as the original definition would have been.

My wife no longer wants to kill me so all is well. Videos are lost but I can live with that.

One would think samsung would have a failsafe program where you could recover from the phone memory but that's obviously too hard for them to do these days as they push everyone to the cloud for more potential revenue.

Thanks everyone again.
