Is it possible to install "testdisk" ( https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk ) on an Android device? ( Or is there any similar software that I can run on my Android device and/or Android terminal ).
The purpose of using "testdisk", is to see if a file had been permanently deleted form the device.

If your Android is rooted, it's possible to create a disk image using dd and ssh (or netcat/nc).
Here is a link for the old Iphones, it's the same with Android: https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Recover ... _an_iPhone
Once it's done, select the disk image and choose to open it with photorec.
If disk encryption is used, PhotoRec may be unable to recover your data.
