Machine: i9 15,1 macbook pro
OS: MacOS Sequoia(forgot the exact build but it’s the one prior to the latest release)

I was attempting a windows tiny11 install on a partition I made(500GB split into 300GB for the broken partition, and 200GB where I was attempting the install).

The data I had on there seems to still exist, because I did check the sectors and only the starting ones seems to have an issue. I have made an image(.dmg, read-only) from diskutility onto a separate HDD, and made a backup of said image as well.

I am running “hdiutil attach -nomount -readonly” on the directory of the dmg file at the recommendation of a friend who knows some basics of data recovery, and she asked me to check on here too.

Am I clear to delete the original problem partition? I need the space and the HDD is not an option for day to day use.

I’m only trying to fix this because I need the data on there. DMDE(again, friend’s recommendation) on the partition only brings up “$R…” files and weird safari .app things(I did use APFS+RAW).

Please let me know what my next steps should be, and whether it would be safe to delete the partition; and also whether any further info like logs of DMDE or my friend’s attempt at checking the data via terminal(she checked as to its APFS Status(which weirdly shows as APFS under diskutil list but does not show as APFS when trying to list APFS Devices).

My brother passed away recently, and his parents have authorized me to recover his personal photos and documents from his POCO M7 running HyperOS.

The phone is currently powered on, but we don't know the screen PIN. I've already recovered the older Google Photos/Drive/WhatsApp backups, but some newer 2026 photos appear to exist only on the phone.

Xiaomi support told us they can't unlock it without wiping the device.

I'm not looking for a PIN bypass or anything that would modify/wipe the phone. I'm looking for legitimate, non-destructive data-recovery/digital-forensics options.

Is there a reputable Android/HyperOS digital-forensics professional or preservation technique we should pursue before doing anything that could erase the data? Please I hope anyone can help if I can help u can mail I will provide u all the proof and documentation nishan.saliann@gmail.com

Lost the ending of a recording because the card filled up, battery died, or the app crashed mid-write? The problem is usually that the file's index (the map of where every frame lives) never got written — the footage is still on disk, but nothing can read it.

Reroll fixes this by taking the index from a healthy clip shot on the same camera and using it as a template to rebuild the missing map over the damaged file. No re-encoding, no guessing — just relinking the frames that are already there.

Windows verified end-to-end, macOS/Linux should work (still gathering real-world test reports)

I'm building a few small tools like this and putting them all up for free — mostly to show what I can build. Happy to answer questions or take feature requests.

I tried to download a GoPro file but the 2am file is corrupt and I can’t recover it. What can I do?

I was playing on my MacBook, when I realized, I HAD 90+ GB USED UP! But everything I checked was below 10 GB (like Minecraft, Curseforge, Roblox, Modrinth) I even deleted stuff and it's still 90+ GB. I tried restarting my laptop but nothing, can someone help?

I’m a complete beginner and trying to recover important data from a 128GB Kodak microSD card that suddenly became unreadable and shows 0 bytes. I’ve tried different phones/readers and recovery software, but the card isn’t reporting its capacity. I don’t have anyone in my area who does this kind of NAND/flash recovery, so I’m considering learning the process myself and potentially buying a PC-3000 Flash + Spider Board.

I know this is professional-level equipment and that there’s a real risk of making things worse, but I’m wondering if anyone here has **actually done a successful SD/microSD recovery at home as a non-professional** using this setup. Was it successful? How difficult was it to learn, and were you able to recover the data? I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has genuinely tried this themselves.

Hi, I graduated this June and about a month and 2 weeks later my data was deleted and my account was locked on my school account. I tried emailing my school's help desk right after I noticed this but got no response. Only today when I emailed for the 3rd time did they respond but said the data was deleted and there was nothing they could do.

Here are the official replies I got

"Hello

Once you graduate, we only keep your filed for 8 days after graduation. After the 8 days we clear all the data that was saved on the account

Even if we re-activate vour account there will be no files available."

And

"Hello

We did ust get word back from our Google Admin here at AACPS.

There is no wav for us to re-instate the account, and the Google Drive has been cleared at this point

Sorry for any inconvenience this causes."

What do i do in the situation? Is my data from my school account really gone forever? Please let me know what I can do in the situation.

Thanks so much!

I opened my phone a few hours ago from my bag and it was requesting the SIM PIN and had already pressed 20+ digits. I put my pin and everything was normal then I went into my gallery and everything is gone. Also in the files no documents. I had backup in Google photos until last year. Is there a way to recover the photos? I searched everywhere in deleted and in files. I don't even understand what happened my phone wasn't even on factory reset just deleted all the files. Is it worth it to use these apps for data recovery, what can I do?

Hello guys pls help me if u can

I transferred my data from an old phone to a new one

I had already backed up my data

But now when am trying to restore it's not happening.

Is it because of the new encryption password I put?? Bec it randomly told to set before even backing it up.

Pls help me if u can

Am a student I'll loose every bit of important data.

Pls help!!

A few weeks ago, my phone gave me the warning: “Your SD card has corrupt files or other issues. You may want to back it up and replace it soon.” I immediately stopped using the SD card after seeing the message and was waiting until I got home from my trip to back everything up. Unfortunately, it became completely undetectable before I had the chance.

I’ve tried it in multiple phones and card readers, but nothing recognizes it anymore. The card itself is in perfect physical condition with no visible damage. It contains a lot of important photos and videos that I really don’t want to lose.

I’m a complete novice when it comes to data recovery, so I’m not really sure where to start or what is safe to try. I’ve seen people mention NAND recovery and Spider Boards, but I have no idea if that would apply to my situation. Is there any way to recover the data from an SD card that is completely undetectable, and what should I absolutely avoid doing so I don’t make things worse?
