Hi, would be really grateful if anyone could help me. I have stupidly deleted all of my xmas photos from my Samsung galaxy s2. I have spent hours trying to recover them but so far to no avail. It seems from what I've read that it should be possible to recover the pics but I haven't managed it so far. Has anyone any knowledge of what I need to do to get the pics back??

Have you tried Recuva as recommended on this thread in the Galaxy forums?

Some other suggestions here.

Hi Tribpot, am trying the Dr Fone at the moment however it seems to be the same as the ones I've tried i.e. it is recovering some of the pics but in most of the pics you can only see about one tenth of the pic as it is covered in a grey film. Any idea about what might be causing this?

Don't suppose you had a dropbox account set up on there? I do on my s3 so its all automatically saved there to.

The easiest solution to get back your lost memory card photos is to make use of backup file of them if you have. It’s always a good idea to backup important photos and other files on your computer to avoid data loss.
If you have no backup, there is no need to worry about this issue if the pictures were stored on memory card of your Android phone. As long as the lost photos are not overwritten by new data on memory card, you’re likely to retrieve them with Android Photo Recovery software:

Generally speaking, the deleted photos were still saved on your phone, you can use an app to detect them on computer, try Coolmuster Android Data Recovery, it could detect your lost photos and get them back.

So are you also using Dropbox's automatic picture upload feature? If so, then your photos should be in your Dropbox's "Camera Uploads" folder.

Even if they're gone from your Dropbox, I believe they are still recoverable for a limited time (although this might require a request to their customer service).

If you don't make a backup for the pics, it's better for you to use a third-party tool to help you recover them. Last time I accidentally deleted my graduation ceremony pics, I have tried many recovery software. I think Jihosoft Android Phone Recovery is the most efficient tool and it helped me get back my precious photos. Hope it can help you, too. Good luck! www.jihosoft.com/android/android-phone-recovery.html
