Trying to recover a microSD card from my gopro, hoping there are some powerful FOSS tools to help me out!
lsblk brings up nothing (as in, only displays the other known drives)
dmesg | grep usb also only mentions USB drivers
dmesg | grep sd only mentions SSD and other known stuff
Both my laptops (HP Stream and Macbook Air - both booted to Arch Linux) behave the same way, so I don't think its the card reader.
All the recovery tools (photorec/testdisk) want a /dev/sdX as input, so they don't seem much help. Note: dmesg tells me that sdc is the Macbook's cardreader.
Funny thing is, when I use a card reader and plug it into my android phone, I get a message to format the card. GoPro (Hero 7) does a similar thing - comes up and says only way to fix is to format which wipes all the data.
So... some devices seem to at least recognize the device, which gives me hope.
What should I try from here?
