It happened to almost every one of us that we accidentally deleted some files on our smartphone or tablet with Android OS and then thought for a long time how to restore files on Android. This is also true for situations where files are deleted due to the effect of a virus on the system or for some other reason. Actually restore deleted files can be quite simple.
To do this, there are a number of special programs that take phone or tablet data that are inaccessible to the user (even in developer mode) and, based on those, show which files were previously on the device and are now deleted. Easiest to do this task through such programs. Consider the most popular of them.
Wondershare Dr.Fone
This program can very successfully restore deleted photos, video, contacts and other information. At the same time, everything happens in automatic mode. When connected to a phone or tablet, the program independently gives it root rights, and upon completion of the recovery removes them in order to avoid unforeseen consequences. To use it on your phone, you need to enable USB debugging in developer mode.
How to enable USB Debugging in Android
To do this, do the following:
- Go to the settings in the "About device" item. There, open "Software Information".
- Click on the build number 7 times.
- Exit to the main settings menu and click on the "Developer Options" item that appears.
- Set the switch opposite the inscription "Debugging via USB" to a position that corresponds to the included item, as shown in Figure No. 4.
Note: This manual shows working with Android 6.0.1, on earlier versions, most likely, you will not need to go to the "Software Information" item. There, the build number will be shown already when you go to the "About device" menu.
It is worth saying that USB debugging will have to be enabled in most cases when it comes to a program for a computer. Now let's move on to the direct use of the program.
How to use Wondershare Dr.Fone
Let's say right away that the program is paid, but it has trial version for 30 days. You can download it on the official website (here is the link). There will be offered two options - "Try It Free" (try it for free) and "Buy Now" (buy now). Accordingly, we need to select the first one and click on its button.
Installation is very simple - press the big "Install" button and wait for the end of the installation.
Actually, after that, it remains only to follow all the instructions of the assistant and connect your phone or tablet to the program. The connection itself consists in taking the most ordinary USB cable, connecting one end to the computer, and the other to the Android device, and after the corresponding message appears, press the OK button.
After that, the connection will be made automatically. On the left in the program there will be menu items for recovery from internal storage devices, memory cards, from a broken phone or tablet and a button of other tools. We need the first one. Actually, you don't need to press anything for this.
Icons of contacts, galleries, messages and other sources will appear on the screen, from where you can recover deleted files. This window is shown in Figure 7. There you need to check the boxes next to those sources from which we will restore information and click the "Next" button.
Now you need to read the recovery conditions and click the "Start" button. It will be located in the same place as "Next". Then it remains to wait for the end of the analysis, the collection of information and the restoration of the selected files. After that, the user will see the window shown in Figure 8. There you just need to check the boxes next to the items of the files that you want to recover and click the "Recovery" button in the lower right corner of the program window.
Attention: The program does not work with some phone models, so if your phone is simply not detected with USB debugging enabled, the problem is not in it, but in the program. Unfortunately, it is impossible to fix this problem, only by the efforts of the developers.
Thus, if your device is detected by Wondershare Dr.Fone, it will be the best option to recover deleted photos, videos and other information. And if not, then you will have to use another program from this review.
By the way, after pressing the "Recovery" button, it may take a lot of time for analysis and recovery, but you should not be afraid of this. In this case, the device will reboot several times, if it has a SIM card, then the user will have to constantly re-enter the PIN code. All these are quite normal processes.
GT Recovery
This option is even easier - you just need to download the program to your phone, run it and click on one of the buttons: "Photo Recovery", "SMS Recovery", "Contacts Recovery" and so on. The program interface can be seen in Figure 9.
GT Recovery also independently scans and searches for the necessary hidden files, with which you can perform the recovery. You can download it freely from Play market, and there is no charge for use. Judging by the reviews, this program works very well and can restore files that were deleted a long time ago.
True, in order for it to work at all, the phone must have root rights a. How to install them, consider below.
How to root a device
The easiest way to accomplish this task is with iRoot. It is installed on a computer, and you can download it here (this is the official site). After installation, you just need to run the program and connect your phone or tablet to your computer via a USB cable.
iRoot will automatically detect the connected device and show it in its window. Everything will look something like in Figure 10. The user will only have to press the "Connect" button.
Then everything will happen automatically, the user will only have to wait for the end of the process. Perhaps in new versions it will be necessary to agree with something else or click the “Next” button several times. On the this moment just click on "Connect". In the process, the phone or tablet will also reboot, you should not be afraid of this.
This program also has a version for Android. It can also be downloaded on the official website as a file with the .apk extension or on the Play Market. In this case, everything is even simpler - you need to run the program and click the "Get" button in the ROOT section. You don't need to click anywhere to go to it. When you first start the program, it looks exactly as shown in Figure 11.
EASEUS Mobisaver
The program in use is very similar to Wondershare Dr.Fone, but it has a much larger database of phones and tablets, so there is very little chance that the program will simply not detect your smartphone. True, in comparison with the same Wondershare Dr.Fone, it can detect fewer deleted files, although the difference is not critical.
That is, the EASEUS Mobisaver algorithm for searching for deleted information is somewhat worse, but it is completely free. There are no trial periods, guarantees and the like.
Important: To use EASEUS Mobisaver on your phone and tablet, set root permissions manually. How to do this is described above.
Download this program You can also visit the official website (here is the link). You also just need to install it, connect the device via a USB cable, wait for the end of synchronization and see a list of all files available for recovery.
Next, you also need to check the boxes next to those files that you want to recover, and click the "Recovery" button in the lower right corner of the program window. As you can see, everything is also very simple. And the likelihood that EASEUS Mobisaver will actually work is much higher.
7-Data Android Recovery
Another also popular and very effective program for recovering files from an Android device. At least, this can be judged by the many positive reviews about this program. In general, 7-Data products are reliable and efficient. This team also has a well-known utility for recovering data from a flash drive. Plus, 7-Data Android Recovery is completely free.
The process of using is almost the same as that of other programs from this review. First you need to install the program on your computer (here is the download link), connect your smartphone or tablet via a USB cable, wait for synchronization (it is very short here), click the "Next" button and select the media from which the information will be restored - internal memory or removable media information.
Then the recovery process will begin and as a result the user will receive a list of files that can be recovered. Opposite the ones you need, check the boxes and click the "Save" button in the lower right corner of the program window.
Tenorshare Android Data Recovery
Also popular with many experts is a program that allows you to restore the most different files from your phone or tablet operating system Android using a computer.
The usage process is very similar to what we saw with the first program in this review - first there will be a device connection, instructions for installing USB debugging, a long scan with reboots and the usual window with files available for recovery. There, too, you just need to check the boxes and click the "Recover" button and select the folder where the recovered data will go.
Tenorshare Android Data Recovery is very effective to recover contacts from phone book. It is possible that for these purposes it is generally the best. But this program restores other files too well. The program is paid (here is its official website), but it has a free trial period. In order to try Tenorshare Android Data Recovery, you need to click the "Free Trial" button.
iSkysoft Android Data Recovery
It makes sense to use this program only on systems Windows Vista. Most other programs do not work on this OS or work, but not correctly - not all files are restored, phones are not detected, or the program does not start at all.
There may also be various driver issues. Of course, it also works on Windows 7 and 8, it almost always does not work on 10, except in rare cases. Its usage is almost identical to what we saw with Wondershare Dr.Fone. Moreover, their interface is almost the same. This is clearly seen in the example of a window with files available for recovery.
The program is also quite good at restoring messages, contacts and files. The program is also paid, but there is a trial period (here is a link to the download page on the official website).
There is also a paid one, but very good program to recover files on a smartphone or tablet that does not require a computer to use. It's called Disk Digger Pro. Below is a video on how to use it.
7 Data Android Recovery is currently the most popular program for recovering data on Android gadgets. But not all users can boast of its correct operation. In certain cases, this software cannot detect a device connected to a computer.
What to do if the program does not want to function properly? Let's try to figure out why 7 Data Android Recovery does not notice the smartphone, and how to solve this problem.
7 data android recovery identify the cause of the problem and its solution
The program may not detect certain gadgets for one of several reasons. It all depends on the type of device that is used to connect, as well as the settings of the operating system itself.
Disabled debugging via USB
Perhaps the reason presented is the most common. It is solved quite easily - you just need to enable debugging.
- To do this, you need to go to the settings of your smartphone with Android, and find in them a section called "For developers".
- It contains the treasured item - "Debugging via USB".
Smartphone is not in standby mode
No matter how strange it may sound, however, in certain cases, the problem with the definition can be fixed by turning on the gadget lock.
Gadget connection drivers not updated
Drivers that are outdated or have not been installed for the purpose of identification in Windows may cause the program in question to function incorrectly. To fix the situation, you should download the driver latest version from the device manufacturer's website or update it yourself through the device manager.
Incorrect functioning of the USB driver on the computer
You need to check if all system drivers are updated to the latest version. It often happens that for the application of certain USB connectors on the motherboard, you need to install an additional driver.
Wrong connection mode
It is worth noting that the smartphone should only be connected in storage mode, and not in charging or modem mode. In such modes, the program will not be able to see the SD card.
Lack of root rights on the smartphone
Even if the debug mode is enabled and the mode disk drive enabled, recovery will not be possible without obtaining root rights. More detailed information about obtaining these rights can be found by visiting specialized forums.
USB cable failure
In some cases, there may be problems in the functioning of the USB cable, which provoke the inability to work with the device through programs and file transfers. The phone simply will not be visible to your computer. Only replacing the cable with a new one or connecting a memory card through a card reader can help here.
Summarizing…
Note that, in the absence of all the above problems and the impossibility of determining the device 7 data android recovery by the program, it can be assumed that it is simply not supported. In this case, you can try using one of the previous versions program or any of its analogues.
Modern smartphones and tablets are used to store information and process information no less than computers. Accordingly, the problem of accidental data loss is no less relevant here: valuable photos, videos, important documents - sometimes the loss is irreparable.
As with the return of lost data on a computer, the key to successful recovery of deleted files on Android is the exclusion of further writing to the media. Simply put, as soon as you find that the files you need are erased, you must immediately remove the memory card or turn off the smartphone completely. Such precautions prevent memory cells from being overwritten.
Using a computer
The easiest way to recover files deleted on an Android device is from a computer. Help to do it special programs like Recuva or 7-Data Android Recovery. But in order to take advantage of their capabilities, you first need to enable USB debugging on your phone or tablet - this is necessary so that the device is detected in the system as a removable disk.
Enable debugging:
If there is no "For Developers" section, follow these steps:
- Open "Settings".
- Scroll down the menu to the "About phone" section.
- Find "Build Number" and tap it 7 times. During the click process, a notification will appear telling you how many more times you still need to click to become a developer.
After enabling debugging, the smartphone connected to the computer will be defined as external drive, from which you can recover almost any deleted data.
7-Data Android Recovery
The 7-Data Android Recovery program, like Recuva, works without root rights, restoring files deleted from media. The only unpleasant moment is that you will have to pay for using the 7-Data software.
Save the data you find to your computer, not to your phone's memory. When the recovery is complete, simply transfer the files to your smartphone.
Recuva
The Recuva utility allows you to recover data from any media, incl. from microSD cards and internal memory smartphone. The procedure does not differ from the recovery algorithm through 7-Data Android Recovery:
After scanning, you will receive a report on the data found, which can be recovered. Next to each file there is a circle, the color of which you need to pay attention to:
- Green - information can be restored without problems.
- Yellow - the file is probably damaged.
- Red - data cannot be returned.
You just have to select the files and click "Restore" to get back the lost information. 
They operate in a similar way EaseUS programs Mobisaver and Undelete for Root Users, however, they require root access to work, so it's best to first try to solve the problem with Recuva and 7 data.
Application usage
If it is not possible to recover files on Android through a PC, then you will have to resort to help special applications. The main disadvantage of this method is the need to obtain root rights - without them, the application will not get access to memory.
As an example, let's look at the Undeleter program, which can recover files from an external flash drive and internal memory. Unfortunately no purchase full version only the return of images function is available, but if you are satisfied with the work of the application, then a small financial investment should not be a problem. 
The application interface is friendly to novice users. You need to specify the folder where the deleted data was stored, after which the memory scan will start. As a result, the program will issue a complete report containing files that can be recovered from the phone.
It is often easier to prevent a problem than to deal with the consequences later. Removal important information definitely one of those unpleasant situations, the occurrence of which is best avoided. So:
Let's use the Dumpster application as an example. After installing it, you specify what types of files are sent to the Recycle Bin and how long they will be stored there. If necessary, you do the same as with the Recycle Bin on your computer - empty it or restore accidentally deleted files.
Utility 7 Data Android Recovery has excellent recovery potential different types files (photos, videos, melodies, etc.) on the flash drive of Android devices and in the internal (built-in) memory of a smart gadget on the Android OS (smartphone / tablet / watch / TV).
