Unlike my dad's phone, my phone is encrypted.
I have the same phone (also a Galaxy S5), and live 5 hours away from my mom, so I'm doing some testing on my phone now. That got me thinking: Could I, conceivably, attempt to recover my dad's photos from his internal storage? Late last summer, unfortunately (and you know the rest of the story), as he was clearing photos off of his phone, he accidentally deleted the photos, and wound up wiping them from Google Drive as well.Ī couple weeks ago, I did my first successful data recovery job on a microSD card (with photorec) for a client who had lost photos when his S6 was reset (I've done several data recovery jobs for various clients using photorec and other Linux utilities, but this was the first time I attempted a job on a microSD card that came from a phone). The photos were being backed up into Google, synced with his Gmail / Google Photos account.
They were stored on internal storage, and not an SD card. They took most of the photos with my dad's Galaxy S5. My parents went on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Ireland last spring.
