pictures corrupt when attempted to transfer from phone to memory card

Hi All, 

Really hope someone can help,

last week i got a notification to say that my phones memory was reaching capacity and to move things to external card however this failed and as a result has corrupted around 1300+ pictures 

I've tried the pictures using another jpeg viewer and also on the pc and nothing appears, I've tried a few of them using a hexidecimal editor and the headers are missing however so is the rest of the coding so unable to fix this way....

My last ditch attempt is to find a reliable program that's able to pull the images from the rooted handsets memory...

I've switched into devoloper mode

ideally i'm after a bit of software that can revover the images from the date they were taken, I've tried alsorts of software claiming to do this but have had no luck please help

how do you transfer the pictures? because if you're using PC, there's apparently a bug in Windows 10 that deletes files when you're trying to move them around on a connected phone.

Hi,

Thanks for replying, I'm transferring the files to PC but I have windows 7 and tried a PC and a laptop,

None of them are viewable on the phone either.

I'd try downloading a file manager app and moving them on your phone to see if files get corrupted that way. Amaze File Manager should be able to do the job just fine.
