Hi everyone, I have made a huge mistake by resetting my phone without checking if I had already wrote some of my passwords somewhere else; knowing it is hard to recover data after formatting, I searched the internet to find a solution - and usually those apps on PS don't work. I found out about just dumping your storage as a .img to a pc thru adb (android 10, used adb pull, TWRP recovery and I have root access) and then I analyzed it with testdisk, but as I expected, the file was already unrecoverable. I am no expert, but maybe I can do something to recover it because it was a relatively simple file (.txt). Does anyone know?
Update
I recovered them using a hexadecimal editor to view the ascii text of my physical sd card image file (dumped with testdisk). I searched for a keyword I knew was in the file (otherwise you would have to check the entire file and that's not possible); and although the file wasn't listed at all within testdisk, it was still there as raw data (txt files don't have particular encoding I guess).
Having formatted your phone in these cases isn't good, infact no such data survived.
I don't know if this can be helpful to someone, but hopefully this could be an option, just in case.
Thanks for the answers and cheers
