Rescue data on a bad micro sd card

Question

I have a micro SD card that was damaged, when putting in the reader of my computer, I got this

[65850.877706] mmc0: unrecognised CSD structure version 2
[65850.877719] mmc0: error -22 whilst initialising SD card

The card appear nowhere, and file /dev/mmc0 give :

/dev/mmc0: cannot open `/dev/mmc0' (No such file or directory)

The card contain a lot of traveling pic that I would really like to get back... Anything i cant try to do?

(the microSD card is in a new adapter, the last one was probably faulty and broke the card..) (on linux mint 18.3 64 bit)

Thanks a lot for the suggestion, but the sd card does not even show up in /dev :dd if=/dev/mmc0 of=saveimage.img dd: impossible d'ouvrir '/dev/mmc0': Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

Still there is hope, as this can be a problem with your card reader or the adapter. Maybe you can try a different (borrowed) adapter card that has proven to perfectly work with other micro SD cards?

I will try that in the morning (but the adapter is brand new) if it show's nothing with the other adapter, if I understand well, it's mean that there is no work around?

Unfortunately I do not know how to recover the data, if all adapters and card readers fail to give (at least raw) access to the card. Although image recovery apps for Android devices exist, I can not recommend any. Those I have tested simply did not work.
