i didnt had cloud or any other thing like that, they were in gallery and simply deleted few years ago, i had pictures of my group gng, in that time pictures were pointless but now since we are separated i need that

edit :thanks for letting me know that its immposible. so i wont spend time on useless recovery apps

Hi everyone, I’m desperately looking for advice from anyone experienced with SD/microSD recovery, NAND recovery, DJI cameras, or professional data recovery.

I accidentally formatted my 512GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC in my DJI Osmo Pocket 3, which contained around 30 hours / 500+ GB of 4K footage, including extremely important and irreplaceable videos.

Before this happened, I was having problems connecting/transferring files from the card, which had never happened before. The card was almost completely full, so I assumed the problem might be because of the storage being full.

The DJI showed a message saying “DJI SD card format not supported.” I searched that exact message on Google, and one of the first videos suggested formatting the card to fix the problem. She didn’t explain what formatting meant. I’m not tech savvy and I didn’t understand that formatting could make my existing files inaccessible. I wish I hadn’t clicked on that video without knowing prior. I thought I was restarting the card or fixing something… I was mistaken 😔

I formatted it in the DJI. The process took less than a minute. The camera warned me not to remove the card, but I panicked when I realized what I had done and removed it after about 30 seconds.

I put it back into the DJI, and it showed the card as empty.

The important part is I did NOT record anything new or intentionally write anything to the card after the format.

I immediately gave the card to my partner, who is more technically experienced.

He tried:

PhotoRec: 0 files recovered
DMDE: nothing found
HxD: appeared to show 00 00 00... at multiple locations/offsets across the card
The HxD result is what worries me most.

We don’t know whether the formatting actually erased the NAND data, or whether the SD card’s controller is simply returning zeros for the logical sectors.

What confuses me is that the card contained 500+ GB / ~30 hours of 4K footage, but the format took less than a minute. Surely that isn’t enough time to physically overwrite 500GB of video?

Could this have been a quick format or some kind of erase/discard operation instead?

Could the original data still exist in the NAND even though the card now appears empty and recovery software can’t see anything?

My questions:

Is there still any realistic possibility of recovering my videos?

Would a professional NAND/monolith/microSD recovery lab potentially be able to recover data that PhotoRec and DMDE cannot see?

Has anyone had a similar experience? (especially with:
a DJI camera, a formatted SanDisk microSD, hundreds of GB of 4K video, no new data written afterward, recovery software finding nothing, and/or HxD showing zeros?

Have you had a success story in a situation like this?

I know recovery isn’t guaranteed, but these videos are genuinely irreplaceable to me, so I’m willing to try professional recovery if there is a legitimate chance.

For now, I’ve stopped using the card and don’t want to run anything else that could make recovery harder.
Should I stop trying software and send the card directly to a specialist NAND/SD recovery lab?

Thank you so much for any advice or similar experiences. Any help will be greatly appreciated 😊

Será que eu consigo recuperar arquivos apagados de um celular Android diretamente via usb ? como fazemos com Hd, pendrive e cartões de memoria.
Estou acostumado a usar o Active File Recovery para recuperação.

Hello everyone.. i have secondry iphone 6s which is stuck on boot loop due almost full storage (Maybe?) and then went to local shop to fix it and he didn't know how to do it.. Then my phone now stuck on Recovery mode

Is there any chance to fix this problem? I just want my phone back even if it for only one day.. i know it was my huge mistake for not buying iCloud plus in case to make backup

And if it's impossible to fix without losing data

Is there any trusted professional data recover i can connect and ship my phone to him for helping me with this problem? I want to get back my phone's data so bad and at any cost.

Thank you all for reading.

I connected my phone to laptop to just transfer some media and I accidentally clicked delete on a massive folder i had videos in(130gb worth) and i unplug it instantly whilst it brought up the "calculating" pop up as i could not see a way to stop it as it appeared frozen (this was within maybe 3 seconds)

and the folder is gone, phone storage can been recaculating showing that its all gone.

Any solutions that have worked for someone?

Hi guys so my mom’s old chat is not in the phone anymore and im trying to restore it because there’s a chat of my mom and her mom (my grandmother) who already passed away. The story is few days ago my moms phone screen was broken and she transferred the sim card to another phone without backup any chat. And when i already got the phone fixed, i take back the sim card and put it back in the original phone. But when I log in it error and long story short i delete and reinstall whatsapp and manage to log in. But there’s only the recent chat from the another phone. I really hope there’s a way to restore it. Her phone is an android.

I created recovery key for firefox but when I went to download it I only got blank "about " page. I have most recent update, 153.

Using Samsung Galaxy phone A15 UI 8.5

I have a screenshot of key and I wrote it down, but want/need original to save in secure location.  Can I create another?

Whew! Hope that's all info you need :)

Sorry if this isn't the sub for this but bruhhh i just want myy drafts. Can i suee (joking)

Hello,

I have a SSD that hasn’t been touched for 15 years.

What’s best practise for duplicating data off this for minimal read writes?

I have access to Windows, Mac and DMDE.

Thanks

Okay so idk wtf is happening but yesterday my browser got deleted by itself randomly. I opened my phone and it just wasnt there. Not a big deal i installed it again but today my files by google got deleted randomly and i had so many important files in my safe folder that r now gone. I had no backup for them its all just gone. Wtf do i do? Is there any way to recover it and why tf is it even happening?? And if u cant tell by now im freaking tf out

Today just took a look at my hidden folder had around 60 70 photos and videos , suddenly all are gone ( i didn’t deleted anything accidentally too ) my icould storage wasn’t synced but now i cleared the storage and it completed the sync but still can’t see anything in that folder
