Hello everyone,
my phone's SD card is no longer recognized. So I put it in a USB adapter and Windows doesn’t read it either. It asks me to format it.
I have done several searches and I have some useful information to help me.
- with the Windows 10 disk management system, I identified my drive E 31Mo RAW (Saint - Primary Partition)
- with testdisk-7.0, I keep getting the message "partition sector doesn't have the endmark 0xaa55"
- with EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, the deep scan finds no files on my card.
What do you think? Is it hopeless?
Configuration: Windows / Firefox 61.0

A partition of any type that suddenly goes to RAW format for no reason is definitely a red flag.
Often, it's a hardware failure of the device, but sometimes it can also be due to a writing error.
I once had a hard drive that did this, and I was able to recover the entire drive using File Scavenger.
This software is, in my opinion, impressively effective. But of course, the drive (or card or USB stick) must still be physically readable.
You have nothing to lose by trying.

Hello,
thank you for your reply, I wasn't aware of this software.
I just did a test and it says "Boot sector not found. Please use Long Scan". When I perform a long scan, it does go through the 32MB but doesn't give me any file names. It's strange nonetheless, all the files didn't disappear at the same time, did they?
