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).

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!
I have this problem that when I turn on the file sharing, the computer shows only internal memory card and not the external. Because the phone itself recognizes the external card I have tried to unmount and mount several times without any improvement. I am currently using the latest CM7 nightly, but the problem seemes to have started after I changed the card from 4gb to 16 gb. Any ideas?
EDIT: Erasing sd card from the phones menu helped to solve the problem.
Go Setting>Storage and remount your sd card and try???
I've done that several times....no help... android system accesses the card without problems...music, pics etc.
Did you physically remove your card and reinsert it, or just software remount?
Have you tried the card directly in your computer?
Have a look in windows device manager and see if it reports any problems. (right
click my computer and select manage)
I have tried it all and everything is ok with the sd card itself (I copied recent nightly from the computer on the sd card) also recovery recognizes is... there are also no problems in device manager...
Try to put on debugging mode. And try it with debugging mode on.
If the debugging mode is on try to take it off.

I tried that also and nothing changed.... I have a feeling that it is somehow attached to me using mybackup pro... I restored application apk and data from another phone to this one and It seems that usually the application data should go to internal memory card. In this case it is on external card... so i believe that somehow the programs are still using the card when connected and do not allow phone to share it out... It's just a guess though...
EDIT: so I think the solution is to wipe everything and start all over again
So I fresh installed Rom and wiped everything and the problem still exist... still can see files with file managers in phone and when connected to computer, autorun shows only internal card...
Edit: I tried now 2gb sized sdcard and it works perfectly... the problem is with 16gb card.
Weird. Did you try another USB-port?
I tried different USB-s now and still same I found out that when I connect the phone, under my computer appears two removable disks.... if I turn on the usb connection, only one transforms to usable removable disk (internal) and the other one asks to insert the removable disk. I used the same sd card on my HTC desire with CM nightlies and it worked perfectly... could it be CM-s bug?
Sorry to ask (maby the obvious)
On Your phone.. using your filemanager (Root explorer astro or what-ever..)
Browse to sdcard
Do you have a folder called _externalSD?
On this phone, for some reason the external SD is not mounted under./ but as i said under ./sdcard/ (i.e its mounted under the internal SD card..)
Just a thought
Where the different cards are mounted doesn't make any difference. And as he said, it works with other cards (2GB and 4GB).
CyanogenMOD mounts internal card as /mnt/emmc, and external card as /mnt/sdcard by default.
When turning on USB storage, both cards should be unmounted and shared over USB.
Hi, I had the same problem with mine, and as you said in one of your previous posts, I had to do a format through the phone and as soon as I did that I was good to go.
I did use the same memory card in my old hero so this might have something to do with it... I'm not sure.
By formatting do you mean from the menu Erase SD card? On the desire I actually had the formatting request from the computer, but there was another problem (some of the rom's files were on the sdcards ext or something and I had no access to the card from the USB).... kind of a similar problem if I think back now but after changing to CM, the problem disappeared.
I forgot to mention I am running completely stock rom and unrooted (for the time being) and there is just an option under sd card & phone storage setting to format external sd card
After erasing the sd card from the phone, the computer recognized it i'm currently copying stuff back and i'm pretty sure it does not affect the recognition
I faced the same problem. I had Swapper2 on my NC, and after I uninstalled it (and cleared the data of Swapper2, just in case) everything went to normal back again.
^ a solution.
Hi
I have an International Galaxy Note (N7000). It had problems with sim card (the SIM socket lost contact with the pcb), so I started to use it as a media player and wifi functions. Yesterday it stopped on the boot screen (with the model number), so I tried to load a backup using recovery. Surprisingly, I got a sdcard mount error. Tried to read the sdcard in PC, but Windows says that the card must be formatted and recognize as a 1GB card (it's a 32GB card). If I try to format as 1GB Windows says that was not possible complete the process.
After all, I tried to turn on the phone via recovery and wipe data via recovery and.... the same error on internal memory. I was running Samsung's official 4.1.2 ROM. Anyone had this problem?
Odp: [Q] Internal emmc and external SD destroyed
Mount the two cards to the computer and try to recover them using EASUS Partition Manager.
Stellar phoenix is another one..used this & I was able to recover the same folder tree (just that main folder names will be different, but sub-folder names will be the same what you had given) :good:
I'm using lenovo A7000 and recently updated marshmallow and chosen 32GB SD card as internal memory. It was worked as internal memory perfectly quite some time, all of sudden I got message that SD corrupted and doesn't show data stored in the card, it shows zero files, I lost all media files!! However USB storage option in settings SD card shows 6.5GB used out of 28GB. Since it's treated as internal memory I'm not able to read the card as drive in other devices/computer. I have important media files and documents in SD card and I didn't backup them. I'm bit worried!!! How to recover the data from SD card. I assume if SD card changed back to portable, it will format and lose data!!! Please support

Phone is not recognizing SD card, shows it's corrupted. Phone doesn't have enough space!! Btw, how to migrate data from encrypted SD card to internal memory?
Follow your way through this article: https://nelenkov.blogspot.ro/2015/06/decrypting-android-m-adopted-storage.html
You should be able to read the SD card on a Linux PC.
Same problem
i also encounter this problem now with the same unit of phone and still i'm looking for the solution on how to fix the concern. can anyone help me how to fix the problem.
Hey devs is there any way to remove the type of encryption that lenovo make while formating the SD Card As Internal storage so, it cant be used in any other device after formating it as internal storage
There were many important files in my sd card but now i cant access to my lenovo phone and i need that data from that SD Card To Pc via a card reader but there's that type of encryption in my sd card is preventing me to do this as it is formated as internal storage
So is there any way to get data from my sd card without having my phone?

No way. Internal storage format was made to be usable only with the phone. That's why it is "INTERNAL" format.
Phone is necessary.
Also, another recommendation. Do NOT turn on your phone with internal formatted SD card out of device.
