Sure. This is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705 Modified slightly to work with the Samsung Galaxy S3 as per this video: Some of the modifications, which from what you're saying might be the issue, was that they recovered data from mmcblk0p12. That only works for the Nexus. For my Galaxy S3, it's mmcblk0p15. I saw some people posting errors and that recovering from mmcblk0 works. So I recovered from mmcblk0. Maybe I should try again from mmcblk0p15?

Any idea or clues on if these files are accessible?

So I followed the guide on an android forum for using Recuva to recover lost data from the internal memory of my Samsung Galaxy S3. Everything worked out great, and I now have a load of recovered data in a folder on my desktop. My goal here is to recover some text messages from August of 2013. Some of the pictures that I saw on there are from before then, so I'm hoping there's a chance it's not overwritten. My problem: I have a ton of files on here that have weird extensions, I can't open them, and I'm not really even sure what to look for to get to these text messages, or get them into a readable format. Any help here is appreciated! I sifted through, deleted all the old picture files. I'm left with some extensions like this: [see attachment 1] Inside of the .zip files is this: [see attachment 2]
