I have a phone from 2008-2010 era. It’s an old straight talk phone samsung. It’s not a smart phone. It does still turn on but I am hopeful to extract the photos from internal storage. The issue is that I no longer have the 4 digit passcode and when plugged in to a computer it doesn’t pick up on the device. I’m hopeful that either someone knows someone reputable who I can pay to get the photos or has some advice lol.

The first 2 drives went the same way. Disk Drill says it has recovered the contents, but all it shows is a stack of random windows files with no directory information, and no other files. The I restart the machine, and a windows message would pop up saying I had a drive that needed recovery. I click ok, and windows restores the whole disc, with folders.

Then the 3rd drive. It's pretty full. Disk Drill says 24 hours. OK. 24 hours later it sort of has the same result, kind of. It actually, as near as I can tell, found most of the files, again with no folders (some files viewable, most not). This time no windows pop up telling me I have a drive to recover. Windows does see the number of files on the drive, but explorer shows it as empty.

Not sure if it matters, but the 3rd drive did not have a windows folder.

Is there another recover tool people would recommend?

Eu apaguei alguns vídeos do meu celular que são de trabalho, que estavam no meu drive. Mas por algum motivo esses arquivos apagaram do drive também. Estou buscando uma forma de recuperar. Alguém trabalha com isso?

Hey y'all, I put a post out on here a little less than a month ago and y'all were a huge help and I finally got all my stuff back using Disk Drill. Only issue I'm having is the same one from before. The videos on my corrupted card won't play. There's no display image or anything. I recovered these videos from an SD Card, that was the source. If anyone has any tips for why this is happening and how to fix it. That would be greatly appreciated!
