#datarecovery experts, please can you help?
The #SD card in my #Android phone, decided to become unusable as extended storage recently. I removed it and cloned it using #ddrescue in Linux, and I've now got a 32G hex file ready to analyse.
I can't mount the SD card nor its cloned hex file, but I can see in the hex file what look like regular file structures.
Without being able to mount either the drive nor the clone file, how can I #parse the #hex file for recognisable files and #rescue them?
