Recovering Erased Audio on Android cellphone Thank you in advance, for any help on this.  A friend was raving about 360 Security to install on my droid cellphone, I thought I'd try it, he uninstalled CM Security, and then installed the 360 Security.

WHAM, when I went to my Sound Recorder app, EVERYTHING was gone!! To clarify this was not downloaded music that was missing, this was my music that I would write and record with the Sound Recorder app installed on my cellphone. I tried the link suggested in the post below for a free trial on Dr.Fone the Wondershare.net/data-recovery/android website, and at step four it quit working, it showed a pic of my phone and the laptop communicating via the USB cable, but nothing came up on my laptop screen, nor cellphone, and the next button would not proceed to the next step. Thank you for any suggestions for recovering my erased sound recorder, data. Hoping it's possible!
Try taking your sd card out and using recovery software like recuva on your PC... You may also take it to a professional data recovery store, but they typically charge a lot. Data recovery apps for android also exist but I cannot vouch for any... Spend your money carefully!

[EDIT] POSSIBLE SOLUTION(S):

SOLUTION ONE:

Download ES file explorer (free) on your android phone from Google Play. Search both the internal memory and SD card for the missing files... (Tip: There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube)

SOLUTION TWO:

Take your SD Card out and connect it to your computer with a SD card reader.
Use a data recovery software:

Windows:

Recuva (PAID/FREE) [https://www.piriform.com/recuva ]

SOLUTION THREE:

Use data recovery apps on your phone:

Disk Digger (PAID/FREE) [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.defianttech.diskdigger ]


SOLUTION FOUR:

Take your phone to a Data Recovery Store (CAN BE EXPENSIVE!)
