Part 1: Scenarios for Xiaomi/Redmi/Mi Video Loss
Before we know how to recover deleted data from Xiaomi, let's take a look at what causes data/video loss on Xiaomi first.
As you know, memory cards and SD cards undergo several read & write processes, and thus there are high chances that accidental deletion or corruption of data on the cards may arise. On top of that, some other factors as follows, are to blame as well. They are:
- Accidental deletion - Videos removed by mistake.
- Factory reset - Data wiped without backup.
- System crash/update fail - Loss during update or crash.
- Virus attack - Malware deletes or corrupts videos.
- Storage corruption - Damaged memory or SD card.
- Formatted SD card - Data erased during formatting.
- App error - Malfunctioning apps delete videos.
- Device damage - Broken phone prevents access.
Note: Please don't save new files on your Mi phone after any data loss - it's best to keep your phone out of your hand temporarily - to enhance the recovery rate of videos or other items on your Mi phone, because newly coming data will overwrite the deleted files and make them disappear permanently.
