To protect the device from receiving any malicious attacks, the developers have established some rules. For example, most smartphones follow the MTP protocol. According to it, users cannot interact with the device at an advanced level. Super user rights give full access to the system. You can get them using the utilities:

Problems with smartphones are quite common. They are caused by many reasons that do not always depend on the user. There are also software errors. Why doesn't 7-Data Android Recovery see my phone? What kind of program is this anyway? How to work with it correctly? The answers to these questions are presented in the article.

Program

So, 7-Data Android Recovery is a program that was Russified not so long ago. It is needed to recover data from a smartphone running the Android operating system. If, through your fault or due to software failures, personal data was lost, in order to restore it, you need just such an application. The interface is intuitive, so no problems should arise when returning your photos.

Beginning of work

Before we understand why 7-Data Android Recovery does not see the phone, what to do in this case and what are the causes of this problem, let’s look at how exactly the program works. You can download and install the application from the official website. Here you will also find a version for PC. If any data has been lost from your computer, 7-Data Recovery Suite will help you recover it.

This application has a special section for Android devices. The operation of both utilities is almost identical, at least regarding the mechanism.

Preparing your phone

To try to recover lost photos, you need to connect your smartphone via USB to your computer. As practice shows, it is advisable to immediately disable USB debugging on the device. Sometimes users forget about this operation, then a problem may arise that 7-Data Android Recovery does not see the phone.

Let's go to settings. Here you need to find the line “For developers”. It also has a USB debugging function. You may not find such a section; to do this, you will need to configure it.

Connection

So, you have connected your smartphone via cable. You need to open the program. A simple menu will appear in front of you, in which everything is clearly indicated and described. There are recommendations here that need to be followed. This refers to USB storage and connection via a device cable. Then you need to click “Next” to continue the setup.

You will see a list of storage devices that are on your smartphone. There may be a section of internal memory and external storage. If you don’t have a memory card, then there will be only one section. You need to select it and click “Next”. Choosing the right partition depends on where your files disappeared from.

Next, the program begins scanning the device. Upon completion of this process, the utility indicates lost, deleted, damaged files. The list may be empty if the device has irretrievably destroyed the documents. There may be a huge number of folders among which you need to look for what you need.

If you find a file or folder, click on it and click “Save”. If several files have been lost, you can check the box next to each one and save it again. Afterwards you will have to specify the folder where you want to restore the found data. It is recommended to send them to a PC rather than a smartphone.

Error

But the instructions described above are suitable for those who were able to connect the device. What if 7-Data Android Recovery does not see the phone? This can be caused by many errors. But most often this is due to the fact that the computer itself does not want to detect the smartphone.

The problem is common. There are many possible solutions, as well as reasons. Maybe the wire is simply damaged, or maybe there is an error in the PC system itself.

Debugging

This is one of the common options that occurs when 7-Data Android Recovery does not see the Lenovo phone. What some users miss is that they need to enable USB flashing. This process makes it possible to indicate to our computer that we want to turn on the device in a special mode.

Depending on the OS revision, you need to approach configuring this mode differently. If you have Android 2.3, then in the settings you need to go to the “Applications” section and find the “Development” line there. In later versions, the “Developer Options” option appeared directly in the settings.

Starting with a newer version of the OS, you need to go to the “About phone” line in the settings. Here we look for “Build number”. This line is not active, but we can click on it. You need to do this several times, as practice shows, about seven clicks. Information will appear at the bottom indicating that you have become a developer. Now the “Developer Options” line will appear in the settings.

In new operating systems, this menu may also be located in “Special Features”. Here you will have to look in the settings in different tabs.

Modes

7-Data Android Recovery does not see your LG phone because you have set the wrong connection mode. Some users connect their smartphone and see that it just starts charging. Of course, sometimes this is due to problems with the device itself, but most often the wrong connection is selected.

You need to go to settings and find the menu for connecting a device via USB. Depending on the phone model, you will also have to look for this item. For example, Meizu hid this item in “About phone” - “Memory”. Quite illogical, especially for those who have previously used other models.

There are four modes in this menu. You need to use “Connect as media device (MTP)”.

USB

The 7-Data Android Recovery utility does not see the Samsung phone if there are any connection problems. This is the first thing to check. Maybe the cable is simply damaged, or maybe the problem is in the connector.

To do this, you need to try changing the wire and connecting through other ports. If the program sees the smartphone, then the problem is clear. If not, move on.

Drivers

The computer, and therefore the 7-Data Android Recovery utility, does not see the Sony phone because the drivers for the USB controllers, or more precisely, for the smartphone, are outdated. To check all this, you need to go to “Device Manager”. All connected devices to our PC will appear in the window in front of us. We are looking for controllers, and in them is our connected device.

You need to click on it and select “Properties”. We look for the “Driver” tab at the top, go to it and click “Update”. If there are drivers on the PC itself, you can manually specify the path to them. If they are not there, then run an automatic search.

Additional options

There are even less probable reasons for such an error, but they should still be excluded. As practice shows, perhaps the problem is that the memory is full. You can try cleaning and deleting unnecessary files. Perhaps the system is busy with third-party processes and simply does not allow you to connect to your PC.

If 7-Data Android Recovery does not see your phone, there is a possibility that the utility does not support your device model. Unfortunately, this sometimes happens, especially with outdated models. If this is the case, you can find other analogues of the application on the Internet. For example, a good option is Android Data Recovery. The utility is practically a copy of 7-Data Android Recovery.

It recovers data, finds lost files, and returns incorrectly deleted ones. The program runs on the Android operating system. Due to the fact that the interface of this utility is just as simple and clear, working with it will not cause difficulties.

But remember that you should also not forget about the “USB Storage” mode. Despite the fact that many people neglect these instructions, without them errors and failures will occur. So first set up this mode. Then connect your smartphone to your PC.

After launching the program, it will immediately be clear whether it sees your phone or not. There is another option - connect the device via a wireless interface via Wi-Fi.

conclusions

If you have lost any data, you can still recover it using similar programs. The question is: what to do if they don’t see the phone. Then you have to sit for an hour or two to figure out the problem and find out whether the wire is simply damaged, or the smartphone is not working correctly, or you are doing something wrong.
