My external HDD is faulty and I cant access any data on it at all. Can you guys help out, whats the best way to recover data? FREE software if possible, I dont wanna pay for anything.

Recuva

came here to post this.
spin rite also works in some cases.

Just give up. It's not like you can't find all the same porn you saved in a month anyway

Use frhed if you're cool.

Photorec on linus is free
Recuva and the iolo's one.

Obviously, the first try would be with hdd regenerator, and then try to fix the mbr

You could try EaseUS Data Recovery.

if you can't access it software free or not will not help. you will need to remove the drive from the enclosure and try a direct connection. if your computer still can't see it then you're out of luck without better and very expensive tools

If only that was the case... a lot of family photo's from years ago are on there. I need to buy a new one but cant justify spending money on something that's just going to sit there lol

Anyone know how to recover information from a 5 year old phone that got wet and stopped working?

Pretty sure the data storage is fine, just can't access it because it's internal and phone won't turn on.

Take/send it to a data recovery shop (a good one, mind you. Don't get scammed), they'll do a much better job than you can. Also if it isn't even recognised as an attached device Recuva won't help.

I also need this. Any user who solves my problem will be rewarded with oc porn of me, blowjobs and anal of like 6 girls.

Its on phone.

try hiren's boot dvd and boot from there, then run some hdd repair tools or something

You need the adapter for pc that will connect to the motherboard, or unsolder the memory chip from the smartphone's motherboard. Both things are not worthy the cost.

Sometimes, but not always. Hard drives can fuck up from things like going between apple and PC and being formatted weird.

@OP I used a software called paragon when my hard drive stopped being visible. It costs $ but I found it on tpb. Worked for me

Didn't think so. I was just hoping there might be a simple solution.

The sad part is I try the phone every few months to see if it comes back on....

Testdisk try fixing tables

Buy a nas and use raid, if one of your hdd crashes all your data can recovered

Buy a smt rework station or hot air station. Swap the memory chip to the same exact model phone from eBay.

Cross your fingers.

Put it in a snaplock bag and chuck it in the freezer for half an hour, then try to get shit off it quickly. Has helped me a couple of times in the past.

ohhhhh, so like my asshole?

Make a bootable Kali Linux disk , all the tools you need will be in the distro under the forensics section. Probably all and more software posted here will be in Kali.

Is the battery charged?
