I copied all the important folders on my phone to my hhd or so I thought. I forgot to copy the DCMI folder, which contains all the photos taken.
I goofed, I know. But is there anyway to retrieve or recovery those photos?

Probably not, no. There are ways of doing data recovery if nothing that has been marked as available has been used but I've not heard of anyone doing it with any great success on a cell phone. There are some apps in the market you might want to try as a last resort and it might be possible to run data recovery software on a pc and point it to your 'sd card' when the phone is connected to the computer and see what it finds but if it's been overwritten it gets much harder to recover. Or you could just ask the NSA for their copy of your data!

NSA said they don't spy on people .
I am looking in to recovering my photos. I will definitely post a tutorial if I succeed!
Some third-party apps like Dropbox and Photobucket Mobile have an option to automatically upload your pictures. If you were using any photo apps, you may want to check to see if there are copies.

Just realized I accidentally deleted a picture from the SD card on my Hero awhile ago. The card is quite big and has never been close to being full so I'm wondering if there is a deleted folder on the card or some way to recover the file?
As far as I know, only recovery programs as used by the police, government etc can recover deleted files. You can download loads off the internet, but they are designed to reconstruct the magnetic residue on hard discs, don't know if it will work on a flash drive. Won't hurt to try though.

This person doesnt appear to know what they are talking about, no offense.
Data recovery is possible (in theory) on all types of media. When a file is deleted, the space it occupied is marked as unused by the system. The file isn't actually "deleted" until something else has written over its space.
however, due to the random nature of writes to the disk, and given that you said "while" I presume there will have been many writes to the disk since, the chances of recovering the file fully are reduced.
recovery software: a good free one is http://www.piriform.com/recuva
http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizard/free-data-recovery-software.htm
Is a good piece commercial software, but the free 1gb trial should be enough to give it a try.
"reconstructing magnetic residue" is what "professional" data recovery companies might attempt I guess. sounds a little fishy to me though.
So you say I don't know what im talking about with recovery programs and the like, then point the op to 2 recovery programs. Recovery programs which, no doubt, will try to reconstruct the files from the left over magnetism of the old file.
Incidentally, I know when a file is "deleted" the memory sectors are merely market as unused, so new data can be written there, but still the only way of recovering them files is with a recovery program.
use "testdisk"
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
Actually there is no such folder exist on card which kept the deleted files or etc but don't worry just try a good third party data recovery software for the recovery of your data and files. Try Kernel for FAT and NTFS data recovery software for the recovery of your files.

Yes, You DON'T Know. And since you don' know please, don't give anyone "information". Police recovery software... BUNKO! we use the plain old software everyone else uses and there is no recovery of "left over magnetism" shXt ... Go play in your sandbox after mom changes your diaper, and let the adults do the helping here.

Guys I need help here, I flashed my Lumia 710 and forgot to save important photos of my granpa 80`s bitrthday, there is some way to recover it? Like what we do with external HDs, anyone?
I haven't found anything when I had the same problem on my HTC Mozart... That wasn't a flash, but a hard reset though...
There are currently no recovery tools for these data. Have you created a backup (or dump) of the device prior to flashing it?
I don't think you can get your photo's back after flashing your device but you can try THIS
Greetz,

It needs a Mass Storage function that Windows Phone doesn't have.

I thougt your device would show up as a mass storage device, because you flashed your device so you also unlocked your bootloader, I think I have to try it myself, but I still like the original rom.

Of utmost importance is that you immediatly stop using your phone until you are ready to use a tool to recover files
since any activity runs the risk of overwriting the photo data.
However I'm not sure if any of the tools really work on the S3. Reason being that the internal storage where the photos are often (but not always) located is not USB-mountable on the S3 (regardless of what some articles linked here claim, it's not true, Easy-UMS can only mount the external SDcard)
The data exchange protocol (MTP) on the S3 is not able to restore files, you'd need a tool which runs on the phone itself and has full root access. I'm not aware of any such tools, especially not working ones. This does however not mean you should give up.
You can take a backup of the EXT4 partition through dd so you can attempt to restore it on the computer while continuing to use the phone.
On a sidenote; can anyone confirm the S3 is not using TRIM on it's SSD? Since that whould effectively make any restore attempts pointless due to the data already having been physically wiped a long time ago.
I had this issue too and spoke to Samsung Directly..there is no way to do this on INTERNAL memory! external yes
I did that last week
So the solution is download undelete pro from Market and it will recover 98% of your lost photos & Videos, but keep in mind that you shouldn't use your storage meaning take photos, copy files, etc... just straight to market install the app and it will do an almost perfect job.
Hope this helps.

I think hard reset means rebooting your phone by holding down the power button.. Meh anyway I understand what you meant.
Well just to brainstorm, HTC comes with a default integration with drop box. Meaning all your photo's gets uploaded automatically to dropbox unless you disable it. So, First off check dropbox first, you should atleast have some photos since nobody disables "dropbox" that immediate.
Next time, If you have important stuff on your phone, try to back them up on the pc, and try to use a cloud service like what i said "dropbox" or "google drive" or any other type. Or just upload to facebook
Best of luck and hope you get the photos back

Now that you "factory reset" you should have an empty SD Card, so if you are "interested" in rooting or think you might be , you should unlock the bootloader now before your phone becomes filled with apps again, since the bootloader unlocking will require you to "erase" the data AGAIN.
Just a tip although you might not want to root, unlocking is different from rooting though, so you are not really "rooted" as per say. Anyway best of luck, if you are interested in knowing the difference there is a link in my signature explaining that or you can just google or check the forums, or not Best of luck

no no I think it was a misunderstanding
HTC One X+ does not have SD Card
The purpose of the "recovery", was "Data Recovery" and bring deleted files back! not CWM recovery or other
i am looking for app for recovering my deleted photos since my last factory reset! i have stock rom on my phone now and i dont want to root it
because all "Data recovery" apps want root access

I understand just fine, you misunderstood what i said. What I said was, now that you sadly lost all your data, you might want to take this chance and root since the step of unlocking the "bootloader" itself will make you erase the data again. It was an offtopic out of content advice , just for the future.
As for your issue I already said all what I know, best of luck and maybe someone else knows

It appeared like that in the video.
The only way to get pictures back it to download a software. This may work or may not
Download Recuva
Then connect your phone to your computer.
Choose the drive of your phone on the program and see if it finds anything.
Recuva is a trusted software and a file recovery
alright so i downloaded it and everything i just dont know the drive of my phone. in other words, how do i get to scan my phone?
