If you're having problems you're either holding the phone wrong or you have tiny girl hands.
Have you tried photorec/testdisk

Unfortunately yes, as I mentioned in the OP. Testdisk has the same behavior as Recuva (sees filenames and metadata, but recovered files are gibberish), and PhotoRec scans but doesn't find files.

photorec always works for me with flash drives. Dont know why you are having an issue, maybe try a different machine? it may not get their file names back but the data is generally in great shape.
