Recover Photos from Samsung Galaxy S3 Internal Memory
Is there any way to recover deleted photos from the internal memory?
I just hooked my Samsung Galaxy S3 up to my PC via USB to transfer some photos from one folder to another on the device itself. Well, the USB cable got accidentally unplugged during the process, and I lost all the photos that didn’t have a chance to transfer before the device got unplugged.
Is there a way to retrieve deleted photos from the internal memory? My phone is rooted and I tried downloading “undelete” but then it told me that I didn’t have afat file system, and because you cannot select mass storage option on the Samsung Galaxy S3 you cannot format it. I have also tried copying all the files from my phone to my computer and running a photo retrieval recover wizard but no avail. Can anyone help???? Is there ANY way to do this on the Samsung galaxy s3?
