Even mounting a NTFS or EXTF formatted SD card on the phone is so non-trivial that I gave it up. And with FAT32, the max file size is limited to 4GB, so no way to dump the entire userdata partition that is 20 GB or so.
Running photorec on those 4GB chunks results in several .java .txt .jpg (system icons) etc files to be found, but none of my camera pics/vids.
I can’t believe it will be that hard to recover data from a wiped phone… Am I the only one who has this problem?..
@Ingo: As photorec searches for file signatures, should it not be able to work on the entire disk as well, ie. on a stream of bytes?
