Note: DiskDigger only works on rooted Android devices, so you may need to root your device to enjoy this app.
Here's how to restore, recover deleted/lost photos with DiskDigger:
Step 1 Download and install DiskDigger for Android at Google Play Store.
Step 2 Launch the app. It should display all the system devices (including the memory card) that you can scan for lost files, as seen below:
For now, it will list them using their Linux device names (not very visually appealing, but this will be improved in the future). The memory card should appear as "/mnt/sdcard" or something similar.
Step 3 Select the device to scan (memory card in our case), and then press the "Scan device" button to proceed (you might see a Superuser request window; just press "Allow").
You will then see the main DiskDigger window, which shows you the progress of the scanning, as well as the recoverable files that have been found so far:
Step 4 You can press on any of the recoverable files, which will show you a preview of the file on the right, as shown below:
Step 5 And finally to recover the deleted files, just tick the recoverable files on checkbox and then hit "Save" or "Email".
That's it!
Filtering files:
You may also take advantage of the Filter function of the app. Just press the "Filter" button to filter the recoverable files based on file type, and file size. This is useful if you want to impose a minimum size on the files shown.
