Hi everyone,

So i have encountered many cases with SONY, FUJI, CANON (New cameras) Formatted Flash cards.
It uses some kind of TRIM to make whole card become 00

Is it possible to recover all the formatted data??

If yes, then how?? ( Just want some general answer to unerstand the situation more clearly. Like how did the Camera formatted it. What does it take to recover the formatted files??)

Thanks!

In most cases they can be recovered by reading over NAND protocol.

Formatting command in camera erase the translator, which makes data turns into zeroes. But as SGdata mentioned, it's possible to recover it via NAND protocol (using chip-off)
