Starting again the process, testdisk say to me that both partitions are irretrievable...
Should I give up on testing? Can I try something different from what has already been tried?
I confess that I am desperate and I didn't expect to lose this data.

Please, close this topic...
I'm going to open a new topic, putting as much information as I can about my problem, to see if you can help me.
Thank you anyway so far.

Both partitions?!
What you said and presented (see part of logfile) is that there was only ONE partition:

I have an external HD formatted in ext4, which, after a power failure caused by the local provider, lost several folders and files...
I ran testdisk and after some time scanning, it found some information, but when I tried to access it, it was not possible...
Finally, it suggested the test below, but I am not able to run it correctly.

Try any other commercial recovery software that supports ext4. If that fails, use PhotoRec.
