Need a little advice on possibly recovering "deleted" data from older mobile devices
Unfortunately, I've found myself in a bit of a pickle.
An ex-landlord has filed false accusations against me and I need to recover old data to prove he's full of s...tuff.
I'm technically inclined - but I've never attempted data recovery from anything that doesn't spin (well, except for SSD's - but - you get what I'm saying).
Unfortunately, there are seven separate devices (four phones and three cameras) that may or may not have any remnants of the videos or pictures I need.
Here are a list of the phones - in order of "least likely to have the data" to "most likely":
HTC ST6356 h/w: A (aka: HTC Pure ::or:: HTC Warhawk)
LG CU920 h/w: 1.3 (aka: LG Vu)
HTC X710a h/w: A (aka: HTC Vivid)
Samsung SGH-i917 rev:1.3 (aka: Samsung Focus)
Here are the list of cameras:
Flip Video Mino HD F460B PSV-465 ... I really hope we weren't dumb enough to use this
G&E C1640W
Samsung TL110
If I used R-Studio, would I be able to access all of the addressed memory, of would I still need to get some chip clips and pull these relics apart?
My last question is - for the HTC Vivid ... *sigh* ... I factory reset it when I switched to the phone after it. Is it even possible that the factory reset was superficial and that the data's still somewhere in there?
---- non-tech related explanation of my situation if you care to know --------------------------
Man, I really wish I could countersue for loss of time. This is the most frustrating thing I've ever had to deal with. This case is from 2016 - but it went into default judgement because they claimed that they served me, when - in fact - they did not. I only just became aware of this last year. My trust in the legal process has long since gone - but this ... this just solidifies the fact that it's really all just a joke.
---- end -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway - not here for that; I'm just here to hopefully figure out how to get my walk-through pictures or videos off of one of these devices.
Any help would be immensely appreciated 🙇 🙏 🙇
