External devices are not working

#1 Post by codekingmaker »

Hi All,

I have tried to recover my deleted photos and files from my SD card directly from my mobile but it's not detected. I have connected my mobile device in my PC and execute the "Photo_rec.exe". In the device list, it doesn't shows my Samsung device.

So, the photo_rec application is not working from the external devices. Please let me know how can I proceed with this?

Thanks in Advance.

The problem must be something else. Photorec does recognize external devices as most apps do anyway.

No. I have connected my Samsung Galaxy S duos device. My PC has detected that device but the same is not detected by Photorec. If there is something else, what can I do for it.

Herewith, I have attached a snapshot for it. It shows only my hard drives not shows my digital camera. I have connected my phone in a CAMERA(PTP) option as well as Media device.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you just connect your SD card directly ?

If I removed my SD card and put it on my card reader, after that it works very well. My question is, why the same is not working directly through my mobile? If I did the same for any other devices, then it works well.

When you connect your phone, it must be in USB mass storage mode (not in Media mode or Samsung Kies mode)
