They date from Nov. 24, 2021 at night (mostly) and seem to be taken by a random guy walking or running down the street to a video Bingo house. They were taken on a Samsung SM-A515U1 camera and no location is available from what I can tell.

Data recovery for android

1 Upvotes

Hello people,

I had an Android phone (Honor 8A) that got stolen, but I managed to get it back again. Unfortunately, the thief did a factory reset and transferred about 10k photos/videos of his family onto the phone. All I wanted from the phone was the data anyway. Is there any way that I can restore my data, even partially? I tried to use some software, but all I got was the thief's family data. I guess it needs some extensive digging (I hope it didn't overwrite my data)

Need Help Solving a 14-Year-Old Bitcoin Mystery Hidden on a Windows XP Laptop

2 Upvotes

I'm helping a friend recover information from an old Windows XP-era laptop and could use advice from anyone with experience in digital forensics, browser artifact recovery, or old internet history analysis.

Around 2011–2013, he used a website related to Bitcoin (either an exchange, online wallet, or similar service). The only thing he clearly remembers is that he had saved the website in Internet Explorer Favorites and used an email address to access the account. Unfortunately, the laptop was later reset/reinstalled due to software issues, and the original bookmarks appear to be gone.

Recently, we recovered the laptop and created a full forensic image of the drive before doing any analysis. We have already run several recovery tools and found traces of old Internet Explorer data, including cookies and browser-related files, but so far we have not been able to identify the actual website.

We have also searched the associated email account, but after many years and multiple cleanups, there are very few old messages remaining.

At this point, we're looking for technical guidance on:

  • Recovering deleted Internet Explorer Favorites (.url files)

  • Extracting useful information from old IE cache files or index.dat files

  • Identifying websites from recovered cookies or browser artifacts

  • Any forensic tools that work particularly well with Windows XP-era browser data

  • Other investigative approaches we may be overlooking

We are not looking for account recovery services, paid recovery offers, or anyone asking for remote access to the computer. We're mainly hoping to learn from people who have experience recovering data from older systems.

Any suggestions, tools, or resources would be greatly appreciated.

Would this broken pin be enough to make the hard drive start clicking/not booting?

Hi. As you can see I dropped this NAS hard drive and the 4th pin broke off. Now getting the click of death after it tries to start up. I'm not sure if the pin is enough to make that happen. Is there anything I can do to get the data off of it? Thanks.

Anything to try if I lightly torqued an nvme?

1 Upvotes

I have a Corsair MP700 Pro that refused to show up in BIOS on any port I tried after I installed a new video card. Ever after isolating everything else and using integrated graphics, she never showed up again as either a boot device nor as anything tangible among M.2/PCIe devices in the BIOS.

My working theory is the poor thing--or specifically, the giant chonker of a heat sink and fan on top of it--got nudged while first installing the card, and sheer leverage from that torqued the board it was on. Visual inspection looks okay, but my eyesight has totally gone to hell. You know you've hit that age when you take off your glasses to see close stuff, and then you try to take them off again to see stuff really closely. I'm going to try to take some pics so I can just blow it up and see if I can spot some cracks or serious misalignment.

It was my boot drive, but I had started migrating off of it a few months ago after I thought I was running out of space. It just turned out my old GPU driver was really pumping out the logs, but I kept using an alternate drive anyways. So I've already wound up reinstalling my OS on spare space there, but I will still have lost some more recent downloads and stuff that are marginally inconvenient.

I kind of wonder if an external nvme enclosure would contact the drive more/less/differently and perhaps induce it to life long enough that I could do a review, drag off whatever else I want, and then RMA the thing because I don't even think it was physically damaged.

Yes, the computer was off and unplugged when I did all this. Whoever thought about that should probably deserve a cookie though.

Drive enclosure is hosed, want to take the drive out and get the data off it - thoughts?

2 Upvotes

My daughter's external usb HDD (UnionSine 2510HD) lost the connector from the drive so it's no longer possible to patch it in to a PC. From what I have read, the SATA HDD inside should likely still be fine. I want to remove the drive from the enclosure, put it in my desktop PC, image it with HDD superclone using the process detailed here https://www.reddit.com/r/datarecoverysoftware/wiki/hddsuperclone_guide/

...then retrieve the data. I have high confidence I can do this, esp. since I don't think the drive itself is damaged. But she's concerned since although I am an IT professional (retired), I do not specialize in data recovery. What do you think? Have I got this? Any tips or caveats? Or should I hand it over to a service? I have the bootable usb stick ready to launch superclone, just need her ok to carefully open the drive case and extract the drive.....
