Could you build this?

No Android file recovery requires low-level filesystem forensics (ext4/f2fs), dealing with full-disk hardware-backed encryption (FBE/FDE), and extracting raw flash blocks, which cannot be solved by vibe coding.

What it would actually take: Requires deep Linux block-device and filesystem forensics expertise (f2fs, ext4, SQLite carvers) along with Android security model exploitation (root, bootloader unlocks, or custom recovery kernels). Modern Android encryption prevents unauthenticated raw data recovery, necessitating specialized digital forensics and hardware acquisition tools.
