Sync with Google and see if they are restored.

a full wipe using recovery mode can delete my photos in /sdcard ?! wow that's new
i 'm pretty sure that "wipe data/factory reset" wipes /data and /cache partitions and it has nothing to do with /sdcard & /sdcard/external_sd
unless if have erased all ur data on internal SD using the devices settings without entering recovery .. if so , then it's impossible to get those files back .. sorry for that
anayways as a last try u can see this app :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.undelete
u can also try this PC app with ur internal and external SD cards mounted as mass storage http://www.piriform.com/recuva
i tried them both with no luck
and to be clear and more specific my photos were not on my SD Card they were on the phone

"On the phone" would mean on the internal SD card of the phone, which is not wiped when doing a factory reset for the recovery or even from settings > backup and reset. All media files should be there. You must have formatted the internal SD card as well, in which case I don't think its possible to retrieve them.

I got a Vibrant as a gift from my relative (he recently bought a Tab), and i can't erase the data (gallery, his gmail account).
I have done everything that i know, from factory reset to wipe data from recovery mode. Well, i even downgrade the firmware to the stock UVJFD, but no matter how hard i try, everytime i restart the phone, the data will always restored. the applications i installed are also gone it's like the phone create some restore point that resets whenever it gets rebooted.
I'm not living in US, so i guess i can't get support from T-mobile
please help.. and excuse me for my bad english ^^
settings>sd & phone storage>unmount phone storage>format will erase everything

i't didn't work the pictures and gmail account is still there
there are 2 storages there ..one says sd card and the other says phone storage ...you unmounted the one under phone storage and hit format??? because there should be like 3 folders left after that..
i unmounted and formatted both the phone and sdcard storage.. to no effect.. flashing new firmware didn't help either..
hmmm.. yep.. beyond me then .. works for me every time so you might need someone with a little more knowledge.
getting hopeless

All you have left then is to root and install a custom rom. That will fix the issue for sure or odin back to stock.
Dialing *2767*3855# will do a hard reset. That may help.

The problem is right there, I even could not do "re-install package" in the recovery mode because all data I kept in the internal sdcard will always be vanished if I reboot the phone,, I tried to mount the internal sdcard in the PC, then format the drive. It can be formatted, but after I rebooted the phone all the previous data come back. That's the problem

Sounds like you need to get cwm recovery on there and format sdcards internal and external then reflash with Odin just to be safe

I was using the latest DOW 14, ended up with the dreaded internal sd card not mounting. stl10 error!
Anyway, sending it back, but I don't have anyway of wiping the internal sd card. Is there something I can do to mount it to my pc like a USB drive.
Go to settings then sd card and phone storage, and format.

Factory reset will only erase apps and data, not the internel storage.

Could someone tell me what the difference is between a factory reset and a hard reset?
What are the current methods for initiating them? Also in what situations may they be useful?
Thanks for the help

Hard reset wipes everything including the contents of your internal SDCard, you punch this into the dialpad to initiate it: *2767*3855#
Whatever firmware you last flashed to will be the firmware you get back but everything will be wiped!
Factory reset can be done either in settings or via recovery menu. It wipes all user data and firmware settings but leaved the contents of your internal SDCard intact.
What is the significance of wiping the internal sd card?

for example, if, for some reason, your internal sdcard memory got corrupted, this hard reset does the formating thing and restores the partition
I had this issue with my Omnia recently and only the Hard Reset solved the problem
I wipe my SD card when flashing new roms, it gets rid of all the old folders that apps have left over etc.
I just did this and when I rebooted everything was still there ????
Any ideas??
Well I think if you pull out your SD card then putting that code for Hard Reset or Factory Reset in settings, both are same.

The files are stored on internal storage. You don't need wipe this storage.

You can wipe sdcard storage external from rom or recovery. Usb storage is your internal sdcard.

Just go to settings/storage and check. Usb storage is your internal memory, I think.

Do you have clockworkmod installed? If yes, wipe data using it or do a factory reset.
It'll wipe all phone data . Backup your important data and wipe your data partition. It should work.
Click thanks if I helped you!
