Hi,
This thread is in place to help those who have lost files due to an accidental deletion, or format. Cell phones use flash memory (typically micro SD). If you lose your files, you need not worry, they can be recovered.
This guide is for recovering media such as documents, images, videos, music, etc.
If you have lost your messages, you will need to contact your service provider and request them to resend them to you. Carriers keep copies of all messages sent and received on their servers for legal reasons. Say the police believe the phone is being used to take orders and traffic drugs. They would obtain a warrant, and the phone company would issue copies of all the messages.
This is only in place for legal reasons, so you need not worry about someone reading everything you say in your messages.
Some carriers have the messages available for their users online, like Bell Mobility in Canada for example. Others, you will need to get a hold of them and request this service. They may charge a small fee.

I like to think of flash memory as being similar to carbon paper. Essentially, there are two layers. The top layer is what is visible to you and stores the information. As information is written to the top layer, an impression is made on the bottom layer. If you were to erase the top layer, you may think the information is gone for good. In reality, it’s still there on the bottom layer.
However, it must be recovered before writing over the top layer again or else it will be lost. By writing over the top layer a second time, you are creating an imprint of the new information over the previous imprint on the bottom layer, and it will no longer be recoverable.
Keeping this in mind, you must remember to attempt recovering the files, before writing anything new to the device.
On to the recovery process!
First of all, the recommended software tool for file recovery is Recuva by Piriform (the company behind CCleaner). Download it from here: www.piriform.com/recuva
Second, connect your phone and set it to USB storage mode.
Next, open Recuva and a wizard will appear. Click next, then select “other” from the list.
In the following window, click “on my media card or iPod.”
Following that, check off “enable deep scan” and hit the start button.
Let it do its thing, it may appear to be doing nothing but it’s working. It may take over an hour for larger storage devices.
Roughly an hour later, VOILA! You should now be able to select the files you want to recover from a list.
If for some reason, Recuva doesn't work for you, or if you don't feel like using it here are a couple alternatives. They work in almost the exact same way, and are fairly straightforward.
Both programs are intended for Windows XP/Vista but work perfectly well in Windows 7/8.
