You can scan the drive the demo of R-Studio. If it finds your files, save them to another drive, if not, you might need the assistance of a data recovery pro.

Will testdisk work to recover the partition lost and get back the drive as it was before ?

It might, but i wouldn't try it without a ful sector-by-sector copy of the drive.

Perhaps a dumb question, but how the heck did he connect it to an android phone? And, why?
