Hi,
I accidently formatted my internal SD card on my Galaxy, there were still some photo's wich i would like to save.
I know external SD cards can be mounted on computer and then recover files by using recuva or something similiar.
I cannot mount the internal SD as a disk in windows however..
Is there any way i can recover these files after a delete or format, or is it all lost forever?

Maybe if you're lucky.
Try with "Disk tool 6.x".
Depends upon the format carried out for example windows current quick format does not wipe data and can be recovered using something like Recuva tool .
Windows full format since Vista destroys the data .
I would try a recovery tool in the hope that its a quick type format but i dont know what format Android uses .

any link to that ?
is it marketplace or windows app?
the problem is that i cannot mount the internal SD as a disk in windows.
For external SD its different, just put it in a slot and its recognized as H:\ or something then recuva can scan it.
internal SD isnt visible as driveletter. or is there a possibility?
Recuva via google its free .
View internal SD card via USB Mass Storage Mode .

Thanks alot!
Didnt knew there was an option to mount as usb storage mode.
recuva found all missing photo's and movies.
My girlfriend almost killed me yesterday as there was almost 7 months of photo's on the phone.
you made her and me very happy!
Great. Plz mark the thread as solved as it helps people in a better way

Hi,
When trying to watch movies (divx, avi) through the external SD card, I get the message: unsupported video file. Tried it in a few video player, same error.
BUT
When I copy the videos from the computer to the internal SD - no problem what-so-ever. I see everything.
I tried to copy the video first to the internal SD and then, using the phone, copy from the internal SD to the external SD - same error. Then, I copied it back to the internal SD - still an error!
So, my guess is something happenned to the video while moving to the external SD and it damaged it...
I have a 16GB kingston micro sd card. Other files can be copied and seen easily.
I use 2.1 JG8 version.
any ideas?
Thx,
Roy
yes, seems like your external SD card might be corrupted
just reformat it to FAT32 select the option to Full Format
Quick Format will not fix it

If you are going to format then do it on phone as if you format in desktop the card wont be picked up when you are using external storage mode.

Maybe ur SD Card is Corrupted....!!!
Try factory reset with erase usb memory 4m backup & restore option
Try *#*#7780#*#* [Factory data reset - Clears Google-account data, system and program settings and installed programs. system will not be deleted, and OEM programs, as well as My Documents (pictures, music, videos)]

Hi,
I am trying to access my internal SD card to backup my data before running a repair in pc companion but having terrible difficulties. In windows 8 via pc companion windows explorer just hangs and the most I have managed is to copy 300mb for 4gb from the phone. I cant even see or get my device seen in Ubuntu. Is there any way at all to get this part of my phone to be seen as mass storage like the external SD card is. I have been trying for hours and searching the internet with no success. All I want to do is back up my data so I dont loose it during the repair process.
Thanks
Lee
Think I have got my windows8 pc working on the transfer but says will take 23 hours!! Surely everyone doesnt go though this when doing a repair each time there must be a simpler solution I am missing here....

Issue still stands, however temporary solution of using es file explorer to copy all my internal sd card over to some space I freed up on my external sd card. out of curiosity can someone actually confirm whether or not I am wasting my time? Do the restore process actually completely wipe my internal SD card?

No, Nothing on either SD card is touched in an update or a repair from PCCompanion.
In an update only system partition is deleted
In a repair system and data partitions are deleted.
Internal and external SD cards are always left alone.
Nice one cheers for that clear up, I have alot of experience with Android but my first device with internal sdcard, warnings on PC Companion are a bit vague, didnt know if to be safe sony would just wipe the entire device during a repair which is a rather big bit of overkill I thought. Thanks for clearing that up. Still hunt for an ideal solution so access that sd card from a pc though grrrr
Hello everybody
My SGS is semi-bricked, which means that my internal SD card is dead, but the system is still working.
I can make calls and send SMS, but anything that may use the internal sd card (Camera, Videos... ) is not accessible. It ask me to turn off the USB storage...
I searched a lot in the net -especially in this forum because it seems that there are many professional and expert members herein- and i found that
there are some methods to solve the problem of bricked phones with totally Dead Memory using an external SD.
Like my phone's memory is just corrupted, I wish to know if there is any possibility to format the internal card using PC,
create new partitions (FAT32 and EXT4) and install the rom. (I tried to format it with recovery and ClockworkMod, no result...).
Finally, I apologise for my English style, I'm not a native speaker
NB: When I connect the phone to PC, I can see the memory slot, but it's empty...It doesn't recognise the SD Card.
Search for a thread called dead internal sd solution or something like this. There is a way to format and repartition the sd over the PC. But I'm not completly sure how.

hello
i suddenly found out that all my data on internal sd card have been removed
this problem happened just after connecting a flash drive using otg cable
so if there is any solution to recover the data lost, it would be hugely appreciated
My external sd card got formatted after flashing 4.4.2. I was not able to recovery any data. You could try some apps like undelete from playstore.
Yeah, You can try that or some apps for the pc. I've once recovered some deleted pictures (quality was worse).

If you can get the internal sd card mounted as a drive in windows... you could try recuva.
It must be mounted as a drive (with a letter).
