Percona Data Recovery Tool for InnoDB

Percona's Data Recovery tool for InnoDB is a set of tools that can help recover data from lost or corrupted MySQL tables. It works by extracting the rows from the raw files.

There are no guarantees, especially in case of corruption that affects the row storage areas of the files (as opposed to the file headers and other meta-data). It is a tedious process that requires an understanding of InnoDB's internal data storage format, C programming, and quite a bit of intuition and experience. If you are having trouble using the tools, Percona provides InnoDB data recovery services with a team of skilled and experienced technicians, and is available 24 hours a day to assist you.

Detailed documentation is in the tool's manual:
