DiskDigger for Android: Data Recovery Without Root or Root Recovering Deleted Photos From Your Phone

Using DiskDigger app to recover

For this tutorial, DiskDigger is my perfect choice to help me recover my deleted "Food photos" that I accidentally deleted without the hassle of rooting my device. To start off, just download the DiskDigger app from the link down below.

DiskDigger app

Download and install DiskDigger app. Next launch the app. Then click the purple bar "Start Basic Photo Scan" for basic scanning without root involve which many other apps require.

DiskDigger will then scans the file system for deleted files and display them as shown.

Next go-to settings the gear icon on top, to choose for the minimum size of the image and minimum date of image or at least before the occurrence of deletion. This will help to narrow the scan and save you time of scanning. After you entered those details proceed to "Ok".

It will display the scan results of your criteria. Take note, the scan results will also include all the existing photos in your Gallery. To examine more details of the photo or to view the recovered photo, just tap & hold the thumbnail and the popped window with the Filename, dimension and size details will appear as shown below.

After that is done, select the photos by marking the boxes to recover the lost photos and click Recover on the bottom. Next, it will prompt you "How would you like to recover your files?".  As for my case, I chose to save them in my device "Download" folder as the destination for easy access later on. Finally, click "Ok" to confirm.

And that's all to it, you can always NO, THANKS to exit or proceed to UPGRADE TO PRO at your own choice.

To confirm the saving of the photo, you will receive a notification on your lockscreen with the destination, in case you forgot. You can either browse this folder or browse the Album/Recent from your Gallery where you can find them as well.

Filename has been changed. Take note of the size and resolution of the recovered photo.

High resolution of the original photo.

Can only salvage the lower resolution, for keeps.
