How to Use Eassos Android Data Recovery — Step‑by‑Step TutorialLosing photos, contacts, messages, or other important files from an Android device is stressful. Eassos Android Data Recovery is a desktop-based tool designed to scan Android phones and tablets, recover deleted data, and export it to your computer. This guide walks through installation, preparing your device, performing recovery for common file types, and tips to maximize success.
What Eassos Android Data Recovery does (short)
Eassos Android Data Recovery scans your Android device (via USB) and attempts to recover deleted or lost files, including photos, videos, contacts, messages, call logs, documents, and WhatsApp data.
Before you start — requirements and warnings
- System: Windows PC (check the software page for specific Windows version requirements).
- USB cable and a working USB port.
- Sufficient free disk space on your PC to save recovered files.
- Device must allow USB debugging (explained below).
- Rooting: deeper recovery often needs a rooted device. Rooting has risks — it can void warranty and potentially brick the device. Only root if you accept those risks.
- Stop using the Android device after data loss to avoid overwriting deleted files.
Step 1 — Download and install Eassos Android Data Recovery
- Go to the official Eassos website and download the latest Windows installer for Eassos Android Data Recovery.
- Run the installer and follow on-screen prompts to install the program.
- Launch the application after installation completes.
Step 2 — Enable USB debugging on your Android device
USB debugging lets the PC communicate with the Android device for file access and recovery.
- For Android 4.2 and later:
- Open Settings → About phone.
- Tap Build number seven times to enable Developer options.
- Go back to Settings → Developer options → enable USB debugging.
- Confirm any prompts on your phone when connecting to the PC (e.g., “Allow USB debugging?” — tap Allow).
Step 3 — Connect your device to the PC
- Use a reliable USB cable and connect the Android device to your Windows PC.
- If prompted on the device, choose the correct USB mode (File Transfer / MTP is often recommended).
- Allow any authorization prompts for USB debugging from the PC.
Step 4 — Launch Eassos and let it detect the device
- Open Eassos Android Data Recovery on the PC.
- The program should detect your connected device. If it doesn’t:
- Reconnect the cable, try a different USB port, or reinstall device drivers.
- Make sure USB debugging is enabled and authorized.
- For some devices, you may need specific OEM drivers (e.g., Samsung Kies/Smart Switch for Samsung, Huawei HiSuite for Huawei).
Step 5 — Choose a recovery mode and scan
Eassos typically offers multiple scan or recovery options (quick scan vs deep/root scan). Choose based on the situation:
- Quick scan: faster, may find recently deleted files.
- Deep/Full scan (may require root): slower but more thorough, recovers more file types.
- Select the file types you want to recover (e.g., Photos, Videos, Contacts, Messages).
- Start the scan. Scanning time depends on device storage size and mode selected.
Step 6 — Preview and select files to recover
- When the scan finishes, Eassos will present recoverable files grouped by type and folder.
- Use the preview feature for photos, videos, messages, and documents to verify content before recovery.
- Check the boxes of items you want to recover. Be selective to conserve disk space and speed up export.
Step 7 — Recover and export files to your PC
- Click Recover (or a similar button) and choose a safe location on your computer’s hard drive—not the Android device—to save recovered files.
- Wait until the recovery/export completes.
- Open the output folder to verify recovered files.
Common file-type specifics and tips
- Photos & Videos: Preview works for many common formats (JPEG, PNG, MP4). Start with Pictures/Camera folder and DCIM for camera shots.
- Contacts & Messages: These may be recovered as VCF/CSV or displayed in-app; export to VCF for easiest re-import into Android.
- WhatsApp: Some recovery modes can extract chat databases; success often depends on whether the device is rooted and whether data was overwritten.
- Call Logs: Usually recovered as CSV or viewable within the program.
- Documents: Filter by common extensions (.docx, .pdf, .xls) and preview where supported.
If the device isn’t detected or scan fails
- Reinstall or update USB drivers for your device.
- Try a different USB cable or port.
- Ensure the phone is unlocked and showing the home screen when connecting.
- Disable any security software on PC that might block the program temporarily.
- If deep scan requires root and you don’t want to root, try an alternative non-root recovery mode (lower chance of full recovery).
When to consider professional data recovery
If the device is physically damaged, won’t power on, or software scans can’t find critical data, consider a specialized data recovery service. Professional labs can handle hardware-level recovery but are costly.
Safety and privacy considerations
- Save recovered files to your PC, not back to the device being scanned.
- Keep backups going forward: enable cloud backup (Google Photos, Google Drive, or third‑party solutions) and periodically export contacts/messages.
- Rooting increases access but compromises warranty and security.
Troubleshooting quick reference
- No detection: enable USB debugging, reinstall drivers, try another cable/port.
- Slow scan: choose quick scan first, then deep scan if needed.
- Missing files after recovery: they may be overwritten — stop using device and attempt deep/root scan or professional help.
Final checklist before you finish
- Verify recovered files open correctly on your PC.
- Import contacts (VCF) back to your phone via the Contacts app or Google Contacts.
- Move important recovered files to a backup solution (cloud or external drive).
- Unpair or revoke USB debugging authorizations on your phone if you don’t plan to use them.
If you want, I can provide:
- A short script/checklist you can print and carry while recovering data.
- Step-by-step screenshots annotated for a specific phone model (tell me model and Android version).
