Ubuntu – Accessing Android SD Card

New here so please bear with me!

I have an SD Card with some photos on it. It is formatted for an old Vodafone Android phone but the phone does not work any more so I need to access the card directly.

I cannot see how to mount an Android formatted SD Card directly in Linux such that I can see the photo files on the SD Card.

Would anyone be able to give me a step by step process to access the photos. I am relatively inexperienced with Linux but used to programme in Unix so am picking things up quickly.

I am running Ubuntu. I have an SD card slot that works fine with other SD cards.

Disks shows the SD card with:

• Partition 1 (17MB): Device /dev/mmcblkop1
• Partition Type 19a710a2-b3ca-11e4-b026-10604b889dcf

• Contents Unknown

• Partition 2 (8.0GB): Device /dev/mmcblkop2

• Partition Type 193d1ea4-b3ca-11e4-b075-10604b889dcf
• Contents Unknown

I ran sudo fdisk -l which shows:

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 7969 MB, 7969177600 bytes

I also ran sgdisk --print /dev/mmcblk0:

Further details from sudo lsblk -f /dev/mmcblk0:

└─mmcblk0p2       

sudo blkid:

/dev/sda1: LABEL="System Reserved" UUID="46C204CAC204BFE3" TYPE="ntfs" 
/dev/sda2: UUID="EA66089566086523" TYPE="ntfs"

I think that the android phone must have encrypted the card, hence why nothing is visible and as a result it will be impossible to retrieve any of the photos. If anyone believes there is a way to recover them then please let me know.
