Update: Recover Lost Password Directly Without Needing to Moving Locked Files Read This Post Recover Gallery Lock (pro) Password
Hello, This Post is all about Recovering Locked files from Gallery Lock (pro) Application In Android, in cases like Forgot Password and security Answer. This post helps you recover files easily from either Desktop Comfort or from within Mobile comfort. The files once locked with Gallery Lock are stored in Application Specific Directory; that is Data Directory in the Phone’s Memory.
Check the below screenshots:
Once You accessed the Data Directory of gallery Lock, the Protected Folder is presented, which contains the locked files with the .glk extension. All you have to do is, cut them all; needed files and paste to some other folder (You need to move the files, because later if you ever wanted to lock the files again or just wanted to uninstall the Application; you will be in big trouble loosing your files) Rename the files with .jpeg extension; And you have just successfully unlocked aka recovered aka rescued files. In-case you wanted to do this in windows with the usb storage mounted onto Windows, you have to go into the same folders specified and move the files to different folder (Note that the visibility of known file types extensions are hidden in the Folder Options in Windows, so you have to first disable this option and proceed to rename the files to .jpeg extension) Detailed instructions given below:
In cases like if you have groove installed in your system with the Office product installed, the chances of changing the file extension will be difficult, so I have addressed the same issue and came forward with the solution. See the below screenshots. The file association should be changed in the control panel to fix this case, once you change the file association to txt or someother type, you will be able to rename the extension from windows explorer context.
Once you are in the file association menu, change the file association to notepad and apply, then you are presented with the extension views for the .glk files in windows. See the below screenshots.
And that’s it! you are done recovering the files, either way; via Mobile or through Computer rescuing the files. Remember the Via Mobile files recovery here has been made through ES Explorer, a free File Manager to use in Android to explore the files and directories. Thank you. Welcoming Comments and queries

I have a different question which is related to this blog.
How can I permanently delete these files?
Gallery Lock pro can recover some files which I actually deleted. Using the android option to delete the gallery lock’s data or uninstalling gallery lock pro didn’t help. After reinstalling the software it keeps finding the files which propably means they occupy space on my phone which I want to free.

Once you delete files manually within gallery lock shld remove the files. Uninstalling application doesn’t mean data folder of this application too removed. So try deleting the contents within gallerylock app and then verify if you still see files occupying your phone space.

Hi Chaladi,
I have samsung galaxy phone, I’m facing problem with recovering my pictures from the gallery lock pro. When I opened my GLP after several months, it wasn’t showing me my pics but its locked icon of 20 odd pictures that I had saved, after a lot struggle when I wasn’t able to see the pics, I read at some blog that uninstalling and reinstalling the app would solve the problem. But to my horror when reinstalled all those 20 odd (most dear pictures of mine) vanished (as in now there was not even that locked icon of the no. of images). Since then I have been trying really hard to retrieve my lost pictures, I bumped into your blog and feel hopeful that you might be able to help me!
Also when I connect my phone to the mac, there is a sub folder of Images that I named “XXXX” which is the same name I had given in GLP!! But its showing empty (0 files/bytes) when copied to my mac.
I don’t know if I made much sense, but if you have understood the problem, PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
Thank you so much….

Hello Laasya,
What is the Android Version your phone is running. Basically you cannot see the GLP hidden contents unless your phone is rooted. So I was wondering if you are looking at the right folders? What is the Folder Location path? please use Root explorer or ES explorer and let me know the Folder path you are trying to see the contents.
It is very important about the Android version your mobile is running. And GLP versions information too helps if possible to provide.

Hello Manish,
I Think you deleted all your gallery lock files. And I believe you are not rooted your phone for which you can’t find any glk files which are hidden…
They are now placed in a secured root folder place, so root access is needed to see the hidden locked files.
Unless u root or scan with file recovery software, files cannot be restored easily.

Do u mean that in your gallery lock application you couldnt see thumbnails? Is it smart lock or gallery lock,because they are two different applications totally.
In any cases, i think ur media database is corrupt n u will have to rebuild that. I think u will have to unhide all videos and re-hide again to build a fresh db for gallery lock thumbnails.
Please do reboot ur phone post unhiding all ur videos and then after rebooting start hiding all… That builds a consistent db for ur files.

Hi Anuja,
Since the application is not genuine, it exits. One work around is to locate files in gallerylock folder just as I said in my post and copy them to your pc or phone memory.
Another workaround is to uninstall this version and install new application from playstore or 3rd party sites and go to advanced settings in application and scan for lost files. You will be good to go to do that.
And btw, uninstalling application won’t delete your files in phone. It will leave them intact. New application can see the files located.

Hi Pankaj,
Your question confuses me… Sorry about that. But extension is not something that I can Email you. It’s the Renaming process, where you normally rename the File with the desired extension name. For example if my Music file has Awesome.mp3 as it’s name which would normally open with Windows Media player, Now I will change the .mp3 to .3gp or custom extension, where I have set some applications to explicitly open such Files for me, for example I have now set VLC to play all my .3gp files.
If this is not the answer, what you are looking after I am sorry. Please state clearly what you are looking for.

Nope. Root manager allows you to see the other hidden directories with read permissions as mounted if the device is not rooted. If rooted, it mounts the filesystem as read write access permissions.

Alright, With this information Handy, proceeding further left us with the only option to Uninstall. The SAfe Gallery itself explains this best way. And for Trust, the Gallery Lock Application that is More popular than SAfe Gallery does retains all the Media files even after uninstallation.
So, even if you are not expecting this as Solutions, it is the Only Best way to recover Files. And for you the proof of Safe Gallery Instructions are attached
See the TIPS section in Yellow. If you are hesitant to do that, then I am sorry that I cannot see any other ways around to hack the Folders or DB, cause Yesterday I tried to get into tweaking, but the codes are hashed and Compressed the files elsewhere with the Naming convention altered. Sorry.

But, I can think of a solution like Using Data recovery Softwares like R-Studio, who are really capable of retrieving data. However that’s a coin flipped case again. If you are not able to get to work with any of the tricks mentioned over the internet, then I am sorry that I cannot give you a tailored trick that works for you, cos I am not practically done with the recovery process.
However, If interested please do try the R-Studio Software trick, which is capable in doing thing; hopefully.
Sorry for such a delayed reply and disappointing you with my answer.
Cheers!

Am I ever going to see my videos again….. Seems like this one too hard for you
LikeLike
Hello Clarence… Look, first off you should follow the exact procedures as I said in my above post to recover the videos from gallery lock extension. If you try to change something with extension kept intact, it’s of no use. First remove all extensions of videos and assign them avi or mpeg that a good Video players like VLC could be able to load the video codecs into it.
Second thing! If it’s of hard to me, I am going to tell it straight away. The whole recovery process has been identified by myself and I tested everything and blogged it, not just blindly. If this process is not helping you, it might be of different case in your case, in such cases Being not able to see your problem physically cannot lead me to a solution. It’s your duty to narrow down the issues based on problems and keep trying different scenarios.
Well, if it’s not helping you much, I am sorry that I can only convey sorry but not any over reacting Dialogues for you. Whatever! It’s clearly stating that File extension is not compatible or not known, that shall be done with the extension itself, now think of it. I’ve already said the solution for it. look into it, if interested with patience.
Cheers!

Hi Chaladi,
Thanks for putting up such a great guide, but I have a problem. I have gallery lock on my phone, not the pro version and I happened to drop my phone and now the screen stays black and the touch screen doesn’t work. So I will be in the process of sending my phone out to Samsung but I believe when they are through with it, everything will be wiped. I hoped to save these pictures before I send my phone off. After hooking up my phone to my laptop and navigating to the gallery lock folder, everything in that folder is empty. I checked off the option to show all hidden files and folders but the folders are still empty. Is it possible for me to retrieve these pictures before I send my device off or does my device need to be rooted to access these directories and potentially voiding my warranty?
Thanks

Hi,
The new gallery lock application stores the files in different location than previous. You have to look at the gallery lock folder that is created with . (dot) in the front.
In the same data folder… You now have older gallery lock folder and new hidden folder created…
Check the show system files options… If using PC… Make sure the . hidden files too are shown.

Hi D@mNkiLLeR
First off Unhide the pics from Gallery Lock, if you can access the App. If you are not able to see the Pics hidden in the Gallery Lock APP, then even if you uninstall the app, you will not lose the files those were hidden with the Gallery Lock App. You can safely back them up using reinstallation of App in the later times. However, since you were finding it hard using the app, i would recommend some other Apps to do the things for you.
There are lot of other Apps which do the job almost same and nicely.

If you can access SD card from Computer, Try to backup all the SD card at once, and format it, and then paste the files as required from backup made.
Backup is as simple as Copying all the Contents in Drive, and pasting it into some folder created in PC.
Sorry, But I cannot find what exactly causing you the SD card read access problem. The simplest way is not found in this readings, so the most successful possible ways is Said above as best solution to rely on…
Please revert back to me if still problem persists or need further guidance.

Dear,
The Protected Folder, just as said in the above post guides you how to access the location. Hidden means, does the files are not showing up in Protected folder; means you can access folder but not files within? if so, try using Root file explorer or some other root capable or good file manager to see the contents. My self faced issues seeing Files in Protected folder of Gallery lock with ES File explorer and I switched to Root Explorer to see the contents.
Gallery Lock Folder Location is Situated here:
Internal SDcard of Phone/Data/Gallery Lock/Protected Folder
Please patiently follow the above post to see the folders. The Gallery lock folders can be able to view without any Rooting requirements.
So, use root explorer or others to view contents.
Try to follow every step mentioned in the above post.
or, if some other issues are there, please mention them clearly.

Hi Akbar,
Please read this comment very carefully and not skipping single word.
First off, if gallery lock is uninstalled, can u able to see Gallery lock protected folder in phone’s internal sdcard? See above post guiding you to access gallery lock media hidden content with folder navigation and path.
If u can’t access or there isn’t gallery lock folder, then chances are that u deleted hidden files too along with gallery lock application.
In such cases reinstalling Gallery lock application with same version doesn’t help you: you can get the same desired version from Google search results: type gallery lock apk and version number in Google search and download the apk to install. However as said that doesn’t solve problem if media folder is deleted.
One way retrieving deleted files is to use r-studio application on windows and use phone’s SD card to scan for lost /deleted images.
This is the only way to get content as of now.
Hope this helps you.

Hello Alone,
Having deleted the data folder of gallery lock application… there’s no other way you can retrieve, except hoping to scan your sdcard with r-studio application…
Just install r-studio on your PC and scan for deleted files for your phone memory.
I believe it should work at times like good luck.
There’s no other simple ways to retrieve deleted photos as you have specifically deleted hidden folder.
Good luck. In doubt? Do not hesitate to enquire…

You can literally scan all memory types… but the file system being used by memory defines whether deleted files are saved a copy in filesystem and can be recovered or not. So I said try luck…
Any attached memory to PC can be scanned with r-studio. Get full version from Google

Oh! Sorry to hear that… did you deleted recovery folder from gallery? If so… I am sorry I cannot help you in that… The hidden files are recovered and given to you, but unfortunately you have deleted original files and there’s no other way around to recover deleted files, since hidden files are now reverted back as recovered files in gallery..
But there is one good file recovery software… that you can use to recover deleted files from PC comfort…to scan your phone memory… that’s R-studio software. Where you scan for deleted files and it has chances to recover deleted files too… if need help with r-studio software… do not hesitate to enquire…

So, That mean, You have a Full backup of ur smartphone using Kies, that has to be restored only VIa Kies… You can sync Media FIles, Contacts and messages via Kies specifically, but you have no option to specify the FOlder that has Gallery Lock Files; which Cannot be restored.
One Option I can see here is, Restore your phone completely and Check if u have gallery lock folders restored too, by navigating to Specified Gallery Lock Folder location; mentioned in My Gallery Lock recovery Blog Post.
If you are comfortable doing so, or have chances restoring The Data folder of Gallery Lock from Kies backup, then only We can restore Gallery Lock files, else In Big trouble.

What’s the Size of the Files? for SLT and SLM, are they holding in Very Less Bytes Capacity> if So, the Chances are They are thumbnails of the Media only. And As I can see, SLM is Media File and SLT is Thumbnail, Definitely, as each represent M for Media and T for Thumbnail. So You can only Thumbnails from SLT. You have to look for SLM files only in this Cases. In most people Cases, GLK extension stands for Image Files and GLH extension Stands for Video Files.
