Photo File Recovery

#1 Post by jsnow »

Very new photorec user. After the recovery the file name extensions looked like this f5828096.eCryptfs. Is there another step to convert these files? Thank you

Looks like you are recovering files from an encrypted sdcard used on Android or from a Linux Ubuntu /home directory.
If it was from an sdcard, copy the first to the sdcard, put the memory card on your phone and access it normally. Your phone should have the encryption key.
