Hi,
I used a memory card on my Nokia 4.2 to extent the memory in adoptable mode. Since a repair of my device by Nokia they also did a factory reset which caused that my memory card is not readable by my 4.2 device anymore. I'm asked if I want to format my memory card to get it used. Furthermore, applied to my linux device it's also not mountable.
I think I used the encrypted mode on android but not sure.
Is there a way to get access to my data on this memory card or are they lost? It is clear to me that breaking the encryption is not an option but maybe I can get the key somehow?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards,

So I bricked my phone and ended up having to FXZ to the OTA JB update. Once I did I found that the internal memory just isnt there. There is still 4GB for the apps but no storage and backup will not work because it can not find internal storage. It also will not show up on my computer like normal. How do I get it to show back up?
thecodydavis was able to format his internal storage, after so many reboots, the phone ask him to reformat the storage space. And I believe reformat it will lose all the data in the storage, but you will have internal storage back.

I have the same problem except I need to recover the data. I am still trying to make an image of /dev/block/mmcblk1p26 (storage memory block) and hopefully data recovery tool works on the image.
Thanks! Pretty much what happened! Problem solved!
i'm trying to help out someone who has fallen victim to a fake unbranded micro sd card from ebay.
they bought what they thought was a 64gb card, then tried to move all their photos and videos to it. as the sd card was reporting a capacity of 64gb, the phone tried to move all of it, and deleted it all from the internal storage.
my first port of call was photorec, because it's what i've used before, but that's only any use for recovering from the external sd card, the internal storage will only connect as an mtp device, which photorec doesn't see.
i then rebooted into windows and started trying different android photo recovery software. the closest i've come to success is with dr fone, but that either gets stuck at 90%, or tells me the phone will have to be rooted to recover anything.
the phone is already on the latest firmware version, which i believe means it will have to be downgraded before rooting. is it possible to root it in a way which won't overwrite the internal storage, so i can still recover the deleted photos after rooting? alternatively, is it possible to use ADB to force it to mount the internal storage as a mass storage device rather than MTP?
Hello friends.
I have a Lumia 730 Dual Sim.
I wanted to know how to recover deleted photos of his internal memory. I tried to use some recovery programs, plus they do not detect the Lumia partition, making useless most of these programs.
Someone could help me by suggesting a program that recognizes the partition of internal memory and I can recover the deleted photos?
Thanks,
I know how to recover deleted image
Yes, you'll be able to, if the photographs were saved on the memory card then stop mistreatment the phone now and take away the memory card and insert it on the laptop.
Then transfer a free utility called Recuva and do a recovery for the memory card and once you scan using the utility it ought to show you the files that would be recovered.
If you deleted from phone memory then connect the phone to your laptop as a memory card and follow the higher than a step.
Note: when you scan and if shows you the files that you just will recover save them on your desktop alternatively if you save them on the memory card then recovery can be hampered.
Thank, mobile pundits
But the problem is that is not the external memory, but the device's internal memory. I wanted to know how to recover the internal memory, it is possible? If so, how?
Hugs.
Trying for 5 days now with no luck

So yes, I have been trying to get windows phone to assign a drive letter to my computer. I have looked through countless posts including the subst command, registry hacks, and reverting to backup files. I lost my files when I did an update on my Lumia 635 phone. I called tech support No help. The most promising was a ytube video for reverting the phone using the backup function, but if you didn't have that turned on then your outta luck. I'm still looking for someone to know how to edit the phones registry since it is a MTP and not USB Mass Storage. We need to turn the phone into a USB Mass Storage. I have come to the conclusion it is not possible. But Nokia can walk you through some things try : 1888-665-4228 you may not have screwed up as bad as me.

Hi all,
I'm having lenovo k3 note with marshmallow update.
It features to convert external memory card to internal & I did so. I used migrate option in settings-->storage. But it copied lot of data to device storage, hence it end up in low memory space & I can't use my mobile. So I formatted mobile. But now it asks me to format my memory card, which is having lot of important datas. Even this memory card is not recognizing in laptop. It only allows to format to portable or internal storage in my mobile.Please suggest me to recover my datas. Thanks in advance!!!
Hi guys,
I have hard-reset my Moto G 2nd Gen after some confusion. I have taken the SD card out of the phone before resetting it. Now after hard-reset, when I insert my SD card into the phone, it says "Unsupported SanDisk SD card" and ask me to format it to use either as a portable storage or as internal storage.
This card has some important data of mine, e.g. Photos, whatsapp backup and few other backups. How can I solve this problem? I want to use this card as is in phone. Can I take backup of it's data if it's required to format this card?
I know I have asked too many questions, I hope you can understand my situation here. :crying:
If your SD card was formatted as internal storage it's almost impossible to get the information back since when you format an SD card as internal storage it gets encrypted and the key is stored in the device, so when you hard reseted your phone the key was lost, that's why it can't be identified.

as you said "almost impossible", is there any way to get the info back? Moreover, if I had left the card in the phone, would it have changed the encryption of sd card?
It most probably would've been the same if you had left the card in the phone. By the way you may want to take a look a this "Decrypting Android M adopted storage"

Thank you for sharing this page. This is a very good article, but it talks about having the key from device, which I certainly don't have. So, it seems I can't use this method to recover my data.
I, however, used some data recovery software on this card, which would show some data, but not all. Can you suggest me some good software to recover data from this card?

Hello. Did you ever figure out how to get the data off your SD card? I am in the same boat. I thought I was safe having everything backed up on there, but, nope...
Thank you
