The Samsung smartphone is a very fragile device that can suffer breakage or failures at any time. As a result, the data stored on it is not necessarily safe. In the event of loss, what will you do? You’re certainly asking yourself the question! Know that there are several ways to recover files from your phone when needed. At Chronodisk, we’ve listed here a few methods that can be of great use to you!
Data recovery in case of a broken screen
How do you recover Samsung data from your phone? If you’d like to carry out the file recovery yourself, we recommend not performing a format on your phone. That said, the most common scenario leading to the restoration of files on a smartphone is when its screen is broken and works partially or not at all.
In this case, the files are not corrupted and they are not erased. To recover them, you don’t need to call in a professional. On Windows, you can simply:
- Connect your Samsung smartphone to your laptop using a USB cable
- Open File Explorer and go to “This PC”
- Choose the drive that corresponds to your smartphone
- Open the drive and choose the memory to copy
- Run a scan of all available file types and choose the ones to restore
- Copy and paste the data you want to recover into a folder on your PC or a spare USB drive.
Data recovery software
How do you recover Samsung data? There are several recovery programs you can use to recover your deleted files:
Disk Drill
Long used on Mac, Disk Drill is now also available on Windows. It’s a program that lets you recover lost data. To use it for Samsung recovery, you need to install it on your PC and run it after taking care to plug in your smartphone. How does it work?
After plugging your smartphone into your PC, you need to launch a scan of your device from within the software. It then rebuilds all your files that are in the trash or that appear to be lost.
Once the rebuild is complete, the software’s Recovery Vault feature keeps track of your documents to make restoring them easier.
Hexascan
How do you recover Samsung data with Hexascan? It’s a program compatible with most Android smartphones. It will be of great use to you if your mobile phone is out of service or if you’ve accidentally deleted important documents.
Simply install it, run it, and choose the types of files you want to restore: messages, photos, videos, contacts, etc. The software takes care of the rest. The operation may take more or less time depending on the volume of documents to recover.
Recuva
How do you recover Samsung data with Recuva? As with the other programs, you first need to install it on your PC. It’s compatible with emails, audio files, photos, etc. Once run, it scans the previously selected drive in search of deleted files.
Once the software finds them, it copies them to a storage medium that you’ll have previously specified.
The risk with recovery software is that it requires substantial IT knowledge. To use it properly, you need to master how it works, or you risk the restoration failing and your files becoming unrecoverable. Generally, we recommend calling on data recovery professionals.
Data recovery professionals
How do professionals go about recovering recoverable files? At Chronodisk, for example, we work with modern tools and equipment to restore all your documents. The procedure carried out depends on the nature of the failure affecting your Samsung smartphone.
