Re: Restored my memory card on accident

First of all, take the card out of the phone, put it somewhere safe, and absolutely do not use it for anything, don't even read off it, until someone here recommends an application. The less you use it, the less data will be lost.

Re: Restored my memory card on accident

You about want to recover your files that were deleted from memo card ? There is a freeware called ' smart flash recovery ' ( PC ). This sw works well for media files such as .jpg. You have to have a card reader.

Re: Restored my memory card on accident

No i havent got a memory card reader but can access one. Is it easy to use? Is it free or do I have to pay for it?
To the first reply - why do I need to take it out of handset? Even if im not using it on phone shall i still remove?

As long as you're not using the handset it should be fine.

I downloaded it from http://www.smartpctools.com Google with keyword ' smart flash recovery ' you would get many links to download for free. I've used this software. It is offered as a freeware.

Re: Restored my memory card on accident

Unfortunately. The recovery is only successful in some cases, not all cases. The result depends various conditions. You can get your file back when it has been recently deleted and its space is not overwriten. You should keep not use the card more, put it in safe place. Be patient, someone else will give you another recommendation. Good luck to you !
