One of the problems today is what happens if your Smartphone goes on the fritz. You have lost all your photos, your addresses, and your personal data. If you are using the advanced features of your android OS, you may have lost even more. The usual way was to use Disk Digger to recover your data. However, there are problems with this approach as we will see later. Disk Digger is a great way to recover lost files on a disk drive, USB, and even under Linux. It has now branched into Android as well and offers two versions to help you do just that. It is reasonably efficient in finding most of the deleted or damaged files on your Smartphone and recover them back fast.
Why we need a DiskDigger alternative tool?
It will only work on rooted devices and doesn't have a lot of smarts and is almost entirely manually controlled. This for the non-technically inclined could prove disastrous. You have to restart it multiple times to get it to look at your device to find what you have lost. (Which the website write-up seems to make you think is a normal occurrence). Disk Digger can also save recovered files to alternative location including to your memory card, which would seem the most logical choice. Again, it requires the user to specify. This time consuming and you should be able to set it up beforehand. This is the 21st century. For those reasons, we'd better search for an alternative tool to replace the DiskDigger.
