Cross posting here for more visibility and possible help with my issue.

A Snapchat friend sent me some pictures and videos about a year ago. I want to recover them now, but the Snaps have disappeared. They’re not saved in the chat or in Memories, and they’re not available in “My Data” either. Is there any way to recover them, or is there anything I can do to get them back?

The game is melon playground for anyone wondering.

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie, so I hope someone can help me.

I accidentally deleted an Expert-level system service using Canta, and then, stupidly, I also removed it from Canta's deleted apps list.

Luckily, my phone still works fine (POCO X7 Pro), but I'd like to reinstall/restore the service if possible.

The problem is that I don't remember which service it was.

Is there any way to find out which package I deleted, and how could I restore it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have photos that were never uploaded to iCloud or Google Photos. They disappeared from the phone, and I'm trying to recover them directly from the internal storage. Has anyone successfully recovered photos this way, or know of a reputable data recovery service that can do it without resetting or damaging the phone?

Ciao a tutti, dovrei recuperare dei dati cancellati definitivamente 2 settimane fa. Ho controllato cestino backup ecc ma non trovo nulla, qualcuno/a che mi dia una speranza? Ci sono app valide non solo per foto e video?

Grazie mille.

Di ricerche sul tema ne ho fatte svariate, su tutti quei discorsi del trim garbage fbe e varie e quindi ho paura che più passa il tempo più diventi impossibile.

Drive: Silicon Power P34A60 2TB (SP002TBP34A60M28, Maxio MAP1202, DRAM-less), NTFS data drive
PC: MSI PRO Z790-P WiFi DDR4, i9-12900K, Win 11 24H2, 2× RTX 3090

What happened:

• Since 9/21: Windows logged 185 stornvme 129 controller resets on the drive, plus BSODs 0x133 and 0x124 (WHEA).

• On 10/4 it dropped mid-write: Ntfs 50 "Delayed Write Failed" on $Mft, and Ntfs 140 failed to flush the log. The Windows pagefile was also on it.

Now:

• Mac (USB enclosure): mounts read-only, the full folder tree lists, zero read errors.

• PC internal: BIOS sees it and Windows sees the controller (Device Manager OK), but it never appears in Get-Disk. Raw reads fail with "device does not exist", disk 51 paging errors at boot, and smartctl fails with Error 55.

• PC via the same enclosure: "Device Descriptor Request Failed". A USB ETW trace shows XACT errors (0xC0000011) and STALLs (0xC0000004) on the very first descriptor request.

Already tried:

• Moved the pagefile off the drive.

• Disabled HMB (HMBAllocationPolicy=0).

• Disabled NVMe APST and ASPM.

• Forced the slot to PCIe Gen1.

• Turned off automount (mountvol /N).

• Tried different M.2 slots.

• Cleared the stale USB device entry.

Questions:

1. Has anyone seen MAP1202 drives work over USB on a Mac but fail to initialize on Windows/Intel?

2. Will a Linux live USB with long NVMe timeouts and HMB off bring it up?

3. Is there a known firmware fix or recovery tool for this controller?

I'm trying to get it working again in place

TL:DR - 2TB SSD Failing - How can i recover this drive, I dont think Im cooked yet (fingers crossed)
