Righto guys this is doing my head in.
The sd card is corrupted and all the pics from the first few weeks of holidays are on there..
Ive tried downloading a recovery programe on the cp but it wont detect the phone.
It says to tap the "build number" 7 times to open a sub menu but i can only find a model number and it does fark all..
Any assistance or should i just pay some farker to do it before i wipe my phone clean??

If it is the SD card, have you tried taking it out of the phone and puting it in a card reader?

Hope you didn't buy the SD card off eBay.
I lost a load of photos because a dodgy eBay SD card.

Unfortunately not, pretty sure someone put something up on here a wee while ago.

Just for the record, Sandisk dont have a great record for reliability. Ibuse Samsung Evo Ultra only.

What model phone? I know if the S5 you have 2 open settings, About Device then tap on Build number a few times 2 get developer mode enabled

Not 100% correct, I believe the Samsung S7 allows photo's 2 be saved in the RAW format not sure of any other formats, and also probably depends if one is using the default phone app or another developers app

Won't matter what device took the photo a pc card reader will read it.... unless of course there is something wrong with it

I've always used genuine Sandisk and never had an issue
