recovering lost photos on Phone PLEASE HELP!!

yelsrs · Nov 29, 2011

I have a verizon env touch, no sim card either, and i have a usb cable that connects to my computer. But when i plug it in the only thing that comes up is the media center, and it says there are no pictures available, but i still have about 20 pictures or so on my phone. Some of them got deleted though and I want to recover them, any help?

Hi

What Windows version and Service Pack are you using?

I have never used that phone so dont know its workings and interaction with a Windows PC, but if you plug it in, then even if WMC opens up close it then click Start and Computer and see if in the Explorer list if the phone is listed, if so open the link up and navigate to the photo saved location.

Most smartphones allow you to access a limited number of folders where things like Pics are saved.

As for recovering deleted ones, then you need to phones folders to be accessible as I mentioned earlier in being able to open the folders up in Start > Computer (could be My Computer if you are using XP)

If you can see the phone in Computer then install and try a photo recovery app, you may need to try a few as some dont connect to external devices too well, but you only need to try the free ones listed in this list HERE Recuva portable and PC Inspector SMART recovery are good.

If you delete the pics from the phone, i think it can't be recovered. You say you still have 20 pics on phone, you can use the image folder to find them, if they still exist, you can reset computer. My phone is Nokia, so i have pc connection. You also can find your phone PC connection.
