[Q] how to recover deleted "hidden" pictures ? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there
My device is GT-I9500 and i used to hide some personal pictures using gallery and no other application ..
the problem is that I didn't back up most of my marriage photos and just kept it hidden, and somehow I accidentally deleted all of it.
I tried a recovery app called diskdigger, it helped on recovering only 3 pictures that were hidden and the rest were old pictures.
Please help me recover my pictures they worth a lot to me :cyclops:

Help, anyone ?

[Q] Reset Touchwiz Gallery

Hello,
i use S5 SM G900F with Lollipop 5.0 (BOD3)
I recently managed to delete all my pictures out of my gallery by a mistake. I use a software to synchronize the dcim/camera directory with a hard disk at home. so i was able to restore the photos back in the camerafolder. Now i see many blank thumbnails in the category tabs (scenes,events, persons etc.). i am not able to delete them. I rebooted serveral times and waited for the card scanner to do his work but the problem still exist. the restored pictures did not even been added to the categories!
So i decided to use app manager to delete data of the gallery app (and camera app). But after restart the problem still exist!
What do you think i have to do to start over with gallery again?
thanks in advance...
I solved the symptoms of my problem. I moved some photos to a categorie with empty thumbnails, removed them again and the empty thumbnails were deleted too.
I still not sure how to remove all data from gallery database but for now my problem is gone.

Possible to recover deleted photos?

Hi all. I am wondering if it is possible to recover deleted photos from a non rooted S5? My co worker just came back from the Philipines and accidently deleted her photos before they had a chance to upload to Drop box over wifi. I have done a search on Google and most apps want you to pay to recover data. I know you can recover deleted data from a rooted phone. If I were to root her phone, would I lose all of her pictures that are already on there? Thanks to anyone who can give me any help or direction.

You need to root the phone, and just like any other activity that requires writes to the disk, it will utilize and write over empty space, which is where your deleted photos are part of now. But it shouldn't be too bad.
After trying many apps I really found Diskdigger undelete to be the most accurate and reliable app to recover deleted photos. It is free for .jpg but you will need to pay for other file types. Hope it helps

HELP! Pictures/Vids deleted!!! how to restore?

A friend took a picture and decided to try and delete it. When he accessed the gallery app where the folders are shown (the pic he took was the thumbnail of the folder), he deleted the whole folder. Is there any way to retrieve deleted photos? I tried a google search but all of the programs i found such as Dr. Fone etc all require me to purchase the software itself. Is there any way i can retrieve these photos? My Samsung device is not rooted and i haven't ever used the google+ apps and so when i access my gmails etc the photos aren't in the bin. I had about 300+ very important photos

No it's impossible unless you are still running Android 4.2.2.
Every information about recovering files is outdated and cannot be used anymore.

I don't know if they can be recovered if they were on the internal memory.

Because Android enabled Trim from 4.3+ and up.
Wow that sucks. Is there no way i can restore these pics and vids?
Edit: YAY i recovered the pictures by using the google play app "Diskdigger photo recover" app it's the only thing that worked after trying countless of countless of programs on my computer. Anyways the videos that have been recovered have turned into image files. Is there any way to convert them back to the videos they once were?
