How do I recover a corrupted Samsung Gear 360 SD card?

Everytime I take a picture it throws an error, and when I plug the card into my computer it shows as blank, or throws an error.

This is for Linux, I know there's similar software out there for windows, but for Linux you can use testdisk's photorec on the Gear 360's exFAT partition:

sudo apt install testdisk exfat-fuse exfat-utils

Insert the Samsung SD card into computer via adapter

sudo photorec

Make sure you select the SD Card, then run a Whole recovery on the partition. All your images/videos should come off the disk.

AFTER successful recovery, You may have to format the SD Card again with the Gear 360's settings menu, (I had to do it off a fresh insert). Don't forget you need Action Director to re-project the 360 photos
