Android deleted files recovery

#1 Post by Recuvo »

Hello! I want to recover my Android deleted files with Photorec. I have installed Testdisk through Termux but they don't detect any disk. How can I use Photorec (or Testdisk) in Android?
Thanks in advance!!

PhotoRec will only work if your phone is rooted.
Even if you phone is rooted, it's easier to copy the internal memory to a remote computer and run photorec on the computer on the phone image.
Note that encryption may be used, so the files you want to recover may not be available.
