So the wife unit deleted a photo from her Motorola XT1080 and it wasn't a photo it was the entire album.  I used to work in IT before moving to medicine, so I have an iota of 2005 knowledge.  I've become an Iphone person given my business clients so I joined that cult.  I've tried plugging it into our PC but it won't recognize it as a drive for my go to data recovery program.  The apps are tits on a bull useless and there is no SD card.



Anyone have a lifeline?



And because we have rules and you guys like nice racks...

Any kind of auto backup to cloud like Google Photos?  Short of that and no SD I'm leaning toward gone, especially if the PC won't recognize it as a drive.





Did you select the option on the phone when you connected to PC to see as drive?  Mine does, otherwise it is just charging.  Every Android I have used did that.  If you can get into it *maybe* there is a chance.





Good luck.





ETA: sometimes there is an option in the settings to ask what to do when connected to a PC.  Might want to look around in there if it doesn't ask automatically.

The way the Android filesystem works won't permit recovery using the type of tools you would use on an SD card. I don't know of anything that was help except to see if they were copied to Google drive or possibly Google photos
