My dad passed away last week, and my mom somehow (i think I know how) deleted her entire un-backed up camera dir of every picture she's taken for the past year, including dozens of pictures of and with my dad. For some reason none of her pictures were backing up to her google photos account.
I immediately put the phone in airplane mode and turned it off once she figured this out. no idea how long the pictures have been deleted for, possibly up to a day or two, but she has no idea.
The phone is setup with a basic root.
I've spent the last 4 hours trying various pc based software suites, dr. fone, fonepaw, and a few others with no success. fonepaw was the only one to find any data, mostly deleted text messages, and temporary files, but no deleted images, at all. which seems suspect to me since i know she deleted 100s of images... i'd expect to find a few deleted images.
I was thinking maybe i could make a disk image of the internal storage somehow 1.) to prevent further degradation 2.) to run data recovery tools against that disk image. I have no idea how to do this.
I'm also willing to send the phone to US based data recovery companies if anyone can suggest anything. These pictures are really priceless to us, especially my mother, who is besides herself for having lost them.
