Hello , I've accidentally deleted 2 Pictures which are really inportant for me . Is there any way i can get them back? I've tried searching in the Photos app from google , but nothing was in there. I can do everything and even pay if there is anything at all i can do to get them back , these 2 photos are worth 300 pounds ;/

If they were on the external SD, give it a try with recuva.

Is Recuva a Google play app? I only find it as a app for PC.

Sorry im back because i had to go out. I've downloaded recuva just now and i want to scan my device , unfortunatly there is 1 problem. My Z3 isn't rooted and shows in my pc as "Portable Devices" not into the "Devices with removable storage" , now i dont know what to do. Am i right that when i root my device i lose my warrenty also?

@Curnow1

unmount the SD card > use a micro SD card adapter > try again

You could also try to change USB connection mode to mass storage (not sure if it is supported).

I've tried playing with these settings , but if i connect it as mass storage my device isn't even visible to my computer for some reason. Nothing show's up excpet the charging begins. Only the MTP mode works.

It seems only SD is visible as mass storage:

@Curnow1

If the picture was on the internal storage you are out of luck, you could check

file commander > internal storage > DCIM > thumbnails

Well i think im totally out of luck

I went to File Commander > internal storage > DCIM > ??? Cant find Thumbnails , i went to 100ANDRO instead where all the pictures are storeged in there but i couldn't find it. I haven't got my Micro SD adapter , but as soon as i find it (Or buy a new 1) I'll try doing the recovery with recuva with the SD.

edit:

Oh , wait ! I typed thumbnail to search the folder and about 6-7 folders with Thumbnail showed up. I searched all and i found alot of deleted pictures there , however i cant find the picture i deleted plus all of the pictures aren't in the correct date. For example i deleted a picture about 3 months ago and it says 30 May 2015 23:51:12. ......

Maybe not everything is lost? Could it mean also that it is on the SD?

After having a search over all files with pictures i haven't found the picture i deleted, however i found about 60% of other pictures i deleted. Perhaps ill try recovering my SD card 😕
