Help! Invalid JPEG [Recovery Solution]

So she told you they are corrupted before giving you the card, and you are basically trying to see if you can save them?

Yes, that's the aim of the exercise. I really don't want to loose these files.

I have tried "Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery". Haven't had any success with it.

Good luck... Kark feeling this. One of the reasons my wife won't do event photography.

There's a reason why pro bodies have two card slots, not for if this will happen, but when it happens.

Data recovery wont work since the files are there, but corrupted. Save the files to your computer and try not to fiddle to much on the card it self. Then try something like this to see if it can fix the corrupt Jpeg files (which you have saved to your computer)

I see its German , but there are a few other imagine recovery programs out there.
The problem is, if the image was corrupted from the camera to the card, nothing will be able to fix them.

99.999% certain it won't work as the files contain zero data, they are ~5MB files that only contain 55(hex) and nothing else.
