I bought PCTools to recover pix off my old cell phone. It seemed to recover some files, but can't open them. I complained and they said the files must be damaged.
Help?
First thing to note is that the deleted data on the phone will remain there until something new is saved and overwrites it. This might not happen immediately but eventually, after continued use, it will.
Either connect the phone straight to a PC using a USB cable (if supplied with the phone) or take the card out and put it in a card reader attached to the PC. You should see memory card shown as a drive letter (like H:) in Windows Explorer.
Then try some photo recovery software on the PC. This should recognise the phone or card and then you can scan it using the free download of some good photo recovery software. That will show you what files still exist on the phone or card and what can be recovered.

It is not difficult to restore your deleted picture from this android cell, if you are sure that you've saved these photos on the inner memory card. Pick out this card and connect it to a computer or laptop. (Never try to save anything else on this memory card in case of data loss.) Download Photo Recovery to get back your deleted data. There are numerous card recovery tools online. Preview the recovered data to see whether it is restored rightly. Save the restored pictures on a different drive or places in case of data recovery failure. In the future, you should learn to back up your data well.
