It's possible the file is fragmented with other data. Or could be that the phone writes in a non standard format that the software isn't recognizing.

Your best bet is to do a full scan for all jpg files and see if you can find the missing file by looking at the thumbnails.

Recuva kind of sucks, I'd try R-Studio to see if you get a better result. But, as Jared stated, it could be that the file contents are no longer stored on the card.

If it's zeroed out due to TRIM as suggested by someone else, then yes, I'd say it's game over. However, it's also possible that the software isn't properly translating the file location and is reading in the totally wrong location. Hard to say without more details.

I'd say you should give R-Studio and/or R-Explorer a try to see if it finds actual data.
