Undeleting photo on mobile phone

Accidentally deleted photo on mobile phone, can I recover it ?

Phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160.


When I connect mobile to my Pc via USB, the mobile is shown in Windows Explorer as GT-8160 device and shows Card, Phone storage areas.

But my Undelete programs don't see the mobile phone storage areas to search for deleted files, I assume because phone is not seen as Local Disk.

Can I recover deleted photo ?

The reason it isn't seen is because it uses MTP to transfer the files, enable USB storage mode and the PC sees it as a proper local disk.

Do I do this on the phone ?

Will it affect photos on phone ?

Any idea where that setting is, had a look at Storage setting, can't see it ?

Searching google it seems USB Storage Mode may not be present on newer android phones.

My photos are on a micro SDHC card.

Can I put that in an SD card adapter it came with when I bought it and read the card on a standard USB card reader ?

I used this http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download (the photorec part) for a friend , recovered all the files from his trip to the far east when his phone borked his camera card.

I have tried putting the card (SanDisk micro SDHC card in Sony SD adapter card) in a couple of card readers I have, in the SD slot, the card & photos are not showing on my Pc.

Any ideas, anyone done this before ?

Have you searched the files coming up on PC from card thoroughly?

Alternatively you need to find out your default storage for photos.

If it's the phone then they won't be on the card, if it is the card they should show on a PC.
