How to recover deleted photos from Android using TEC files ? I found a way. Not just any way. The free way. Do it yourself, not using any recover software that cost you $$$. As long as you have TEC files in your DCIM/Camera/cache folder, it will work. Tested with Samsung Galaxy S II deleted files. Worked like a charm. Don't forget to """thumbs up"""" if it helped you. Good luck Note: The photos quality is not the same as the original files, but they are good enough to be viewed. And for someone which almost lost them, they are "gold" !

  4. I do not have the Tec. files, I just have a Thumbdata3 file (.thumbdata3--1967290299). Is their any retrieve the pictures without Tec. files?
  5. I am curious to know the function of those 7 bites of data and why removing them lets you access the photo

  12. Accediently I have deleted photos from internal memory of phone can I recover all photos? Thanks
  13. I don't have a cache folder in Camera on my Galaxy 7102 :o/
  14. I have plugged my samsung s4 in to the computer but I can not find cache. The photos were on the internal memory not a sd card so does this make a difference? They are photos of my kids and I accidently deleted them just 2 days ago..all the recovery software charge between $30 and $75 and I cant afford, any help appreciated.
  15. I deleted some photos by accident, where I can find deleted photos on Samsung S5 so I could follow this tutorial?
  16. Thank you so much for this video!
  17. I'm not able to change the values in HxD. I'm getting access denied error. please help
  18. I did it and can't see the photos. Windows says it can´t open the format of the image. (I followed the tutorial step by step perfectly) Why?????
  19. I was able to put the pointer to the left of the top line and delete 6 times.  I have VISTA PC.  Also my files were immediately viewable when I changed to *.jpg after saving the HexDex modifications.  You will probably have trouble if you don't copy the files from Android to your PC before doing this and then work from the PC folder.  Seems Android won't let you save back to Android.  I could not find a Cache on my SD card but most of what I was looking for was in the device Cache of DCIM/Camera.  Definitely need to do this as soon as possible after deleting because with smaller memories they will start getting written over quickly.  THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE VID!!
