corrupted SD card (dunked Samsung briefly in the sea)

[Farmer]

Any suggestions of apps or pc software capable of extracting corrupted files from my SD card , I dunked my phone momentarily in the North sea , it works ok as a phone now ,( though often tells me the charging port is wet, but there again it is a temperamental charger) but won't recognize any SD cards and the card that was in it has corrupt files for any picture taken by this phone . No they weren't backing up automatically on google either

Thanks

I have used a program for this, which I think was called "Recoverit" - I did a quick search and the screen shots look familiar. It does 100Mb of files in the free version, which was enough for me, and once I'd done them I uninstalled it, so I'm not 100% certain on the name. But maybe 90% sure. It allowed me to browse around to find the folder with the images I wanted, that wasn't part of the 100Mb limit.

thanks I'll have a look , i did find an app with I think that name and it found the hidden files but wouldn't preview them without me spending a chunk of money with no guarantee of success. don't mind paying if it can show me the files

Ian, you've got mail

Pop it into an SD card reader and into a Windows PC if you have one available.

Then use the free editions of either Recuva or Photorec:

You may find the salt has actually damaged the contacts or the card.
As has been said already recover it on a PC not the dodgy apps that claim to do it on your phone.
