Recover deleted Photos - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I was trying to transfer some photos from my note 2 to my computer and I accidentally deleted them through finder in the android file transfer app. I think they may have been in the internal phone memory and I really want to get these pictures back please help.

Google recova or something like that
It finds them on pc and sd cards

I don't think they were on the sd card because in my gallery i can see two different types of folders one says camera and the other one says camera with a lil pic of an sd card on it and they got deleted from the first folder

If you're rooted you can use Hexamob Recovery or Undelete For Root Users. Otherwise search the Play Store for file recovery apps, but there's a chance you have to be rooted for one to work.

I'm not rooted and haven't been able to find any apps that can recover...the pics were on the phone's internal memory and not the sd card which is why I'm guessing that these recovery programs i downloaded on my mac haven't been finding anything to restore

even if they were deleted from internal storage?

Try it and see. If it doesn't work, root the phone. They all work for internal memory if the phone is rooted. Been there, done that.

The longer you wait, the more likely you won't be able to recover. Those areas they were stored may get written over again. Just try. At this point it seems you have nothing to lose.

Well its a matter of the data being over written by newer data. He can wait days without overwriting and still be able to recover it.

I think that's what I just said.
If you do need root for any of the recovery apps, install exynos abuse (found in these threads). It's a quick apk install and a quick button click to gain root. I just hope installing yet one more app doesn't write over those sectors. Perhaps as a last resort.

All JPEG files automatically deleted today - CM10

So today I noticed all my photos in my gallery app were greyed out... thought it was strange. Selected one... big grey pic... then another.... and another....
These pics span the internal storage and sd card....
First I deleted the cache to the gallery app.... same result...
OK... went into es file explorer.... dcim... camera..... all JPEGs gone....
Went into the sdcard..... have multiple folders under pics main folder... all empty... except for any video files...
Then mounted on my PC... and they also don't show.
What could of happened to cause this.... I wouldn't normally care but I lost a lot of pics of my kids... that spanned 3+ years that weren't all backed up. Any help on the snowballs chance in hell of recovering this would be appreciated.... but at the very least any reasonable explanation as to why this may have happened would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You could try pulling the sd card out, putting it in the computer directly, and then using a data restore or undelete app. As long as the sectors haven't been rewritten, they should be recoverable.
Also, this may help for the future. I use my phone to capture my kids as well. What I've been doing is using the auto upload features in both Google+ and DropBox, to back pics up in replicate. Sucks for bandwidth and battery usage, but it is what is is. lol
Hope you get them back!

I will try that when i get the chance.... just wish i knew WHY this happened. So frustrating!
So i was able to recover my files on the external sd card with a card reader.... now how would i do the same on the internal card, if we cant mount it with usb mass storage mode?

There is a pc program called recova I think it's from pirova. I wiped my phone once and was able to do the deep scan and recovered them. Hope it helps good luck.

Unfortunately, I don't think that one's doable with the way the device mounts. You may be able to mount it as a drive via recovery, but I'm not sure.
Edit: Just noticed your other post. You're asking the right thing. Hope you get an answer. If CWM doesn't have it, you could try TWRP.

Recova is what i used on the SD card and worked perfectly.
Also, i flashed TWRP... and the option isnt there either, so i will assume that its not possible on our phone yet... so for now im screwed...
am afraid to install any new programs or files, in fear of losing my more current pics, which were internally.
That happened to me too, but i am using the GS2 Tmobile, after flashing cm 9 nightlybuild. but my picture on my sd card, so i guess will use recova.
Thanks and hope you get your pictures recovered.

It sucks that you lost quite a few pictures that mean a lot to you. I do see sincerely hope that you now understand the importance of backing up these important files. This really goes for everyone. Keep important files backed up in at least one other place, and keep it up to date. Most people don't start doing backups until they've lost something that's irreplaceable.

Check your entire SD card with a file manager. You've got something big on there.

What ROM are you running? It could be space used up by stock system stuff. OP is stock and I'm running Bonestock, which is essentially stock.

I cant link my screen shot, but my TWRP is only 2.89GB, Still doesn't add up to the 10.53GB used...
I Think I see an issue. on my system folder I have two files in the storage folder named "Emulated" and "sdcard0" . They have the same thing in each one, about 3.40GB. Is this a normal file format for android?
From what I've gathered it's not actually there twice, it's just a reflection, so to speak, of your user data. It's a feature implemented for muti-user setups.

Already posted a thread about this........
The HTC One is formatted different than a typical external sd card (FAT). Because it is formatted differently, USB mass storage does not show up on our computers. Use adb to push files. Check your storage space on the phone.
I have 10.08GB used in other with no backups. Just the way the phone came.
Thanks Guy's, just wanted to be sure it wasn't something I did while running Rumrunner or doing my first recovery.

at one point my other storage was gigantic as well. It was at the point where I didn't have enough room to backup in recovery.
after I uninstalled play music and magazines my other storage dropped to below 10GB and gave me 17 GB free.
lol I can't believe I didn't realize this phone came with no microsd slot. Not being able to put all my media on one is bumming me out.
Its still a great phone but now I'm missing my thunderbolt a little bit.

This is def a bug, and I might have a fix... Here's how I came to this...
On soff day one I soffed, immediately I installed cwm recovery, and first thing I did was do a backup... Restarted my phone, and immediately got the less than 10 GB left...right after that I wiped and i installed mokee, and still had storage issues... Then I deleted the factory backup and did a nother fresh backup from recovery... Poof all my space is back... Check the size of your factory backup, bet its huge... Take it off your phone and stash it on your PC if you wanna save it...
This is where backups are stored

Titanium backup

How do I change my backup folder location to external SD card. I changed it but when I go to titanium backup folder on external SD card after doing a backup, there is no backup. I emailed the developer and got troubleshooting link and nothing helped. Sent him another email but no reply. Sucks cause I paid the money for the license. Any help will be appreciated.

Why don't you think simple and basic. Hook phone up to pc and transfer there. No special apps or complex set of directions to follow.

When I did that Titanium Backup created a new file on the internal drive and could not see the moved back up. Also the file will not let you manually add APK files.
I haven't found a way to change the backup path either.
You guys are really funny. In 5 seconds I found like over 30 threads by using search. On google I found instructions and video. Lmao.
Open app. Click bottom right. Says problem?. Click center button on bottom that says preference. Change back up path.. It really not hard if you take the time to search and read.
BAD ASS G3
A simple answer would suffice. If YOU bothered to read the OP, you would notice that I changed the backup location to the external SD and it's not saving them there. If you don't have a helpful reply and wanna just be a [email protected]@, don't reply to my posts. That's why I hate posting questions on this forum, everyone likes to make people look stupid.

Since you are asking in questions and help, I'll give it a whirl. I don't KNOW this is the answer, but it is something to try. KK blocks access to directories that haven't been created by the app in question. Did you get TiBu to create a new directory for backups? Or did you select a directory that already existed? You might try a new directory with a different name on the external card. Good luck.
edit: FYI, just tried this and it works. The method to browse a folder in TiBu is a little obscure. Choose backup folder under preferences, then push the back key. You'll see folders pop up in the window. The first 'folder' is actually a key to make a new folder. Do this on the SD card, and it worked for me.
Yep, gotta create the new folder using titanium.
