How to recover deleted file from mtp device?

Question

Acidentally I deleted two directories of images from the internal stockage memory of my Asus zenfone MAX 3 and I don't have an SD card on it. I found foremost is a tool to recover deleted data. But it's not able to give it the /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:host=%5Busb%3A001%2C0 as a partition to scan it. I active the USB debug option following these instructions:

1. Go to Settings -> About Phone/Tablet.
2. Go to “Build Number” at the end of the Scroll list.
3. Tap on “Build Number” repeatedly 3 times
4. Now Developer Option will be included in setting list of yours now. Go to “Develop Options” to check USB debugging > OK. Done.

But in USB configuration I have:

1. Load
2. MTP(Media Transfer Protocol)
3. PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol)
4. RNDIS (USB Ethernet)
5. Audio Source
6. MIDI

I plug the usb cable to the pc and I got this alert message:

 Use USB to transfer files

I pressed OK.

Solution

I don't know which mtp device you have but I have been able to recover files using photorec (part of the package testdisk) where scapel (outdated) and foremost (also outdated) were not able to. I also recommend setting the mtp device to mass storage so photorec can read it as mentioned here How to mount Smartphone to recover files

I tried to use USB DEBUG option and then I used photorec but the device is not displayed in the list.

I run photorec but I didn't find the device in the list of devices.

USB Debugging on Android is not for giving raw block-level access to the flash of the phone. It's a debugging API.

So it's not able to recover data from linux?

Follow the link provided about setting it up as a mass storage. Also mention in your post what storsge device you are using and what you have done so far to configure it.

Not over MTP or USB debugging, no. You have to get a image or raw block-level access. Read and understand the naswer by Oli on that Q&A.

I have already read it and I followed the first part of the answer and It does not resolve my problem.
