My 2GB microSD card is corrupted and didn't work. What's more, I desperately need some data to get off of it, any advice on Linux commands/utilities I could use to recover my data? All the files are just plain ASCII text if that helps.
If your PC cannot detect your SD card, but it shows up in Disk Management, you can turn to EaseUS data recovery software. This data recovery software makes Micro SD card data recovery easy and fast. You can only take three steps to restore lost/deleted photos, videos, PPT files, documents, and other data on your PC.
Step 1. Connect the Micro SD card to your computer and launch EaseUS memory card recovery software on your PC. The SD card will be listed under the Devices section. Choose the SD card and click "Scan" for your lost data.
Step 2. The software will start a scan automatically, which is powerful enough to find all lost files, even lost file names. After scanning, you can find deleted items from the tree-view panel on the left. Then, click "Filter" if you want a specific file type, like photos, documents, videos, or emails.
Step 3. You can directly double-click the files to preview the content. After this, you can choose the wanted files and click "Recover" to restore them to a secure location on your PC or other external storage devices.
