First of all, I have to be frank that CMD does not work efficiently for recovering formatted sd card files. This command usually works for corrupted SD card fix when formatting cannot repair the problem.
You may start recovering formatted sd card using cmd with the following steps.
If you do not want to format an SD card that is corrupted, you can run CMD to scan and fix the problem.
Formatted SD card data can be restored if you
Or if the memory sdhc sdxc suffered some following problems
The formatting won't wipe/erase the data before new data occupied their old places until you saved some new files to the same sd after formatting, even if you twice formatted sd card or formatted sd/microSD card several times, the deleted data can still be restored.
The best for undo sd card formatting is to keep SD memory card from further use before it was recovered. So stop using the media card right away. And use read-only program iCare Pro Free, which is 100% safe, that won't write data to the formatted sd card. (*read-only means it only read data from the sd card and it won't write a single data to the sd card that provides a 100% data safety.)
When formatting an SD card, the system will mark the card space to be available for new data storage but the original files were not erased completely. After formatting an SD card, the card will show as empty device and all data will become invisible.
Formatting does not mean that all data were wiped out forever. Only if you do not write any new data to the card, the original data will remain intact there. However you won't be able to access them without professional software.
