So I did a stupid mistake of flashing the stock lollipop rom on my Note III from a Cyanogenmod version since it was too unstable but forgot to backup all my pictures and videos and now they are all gone.
I am desperate to get them back since I just got back from a 3 week holiday and took around a 100 pictures.
Is there any way I could recover any of them?
Thanks!
You can try RECUVA or any one of the similar products on Play store .

Thanks but unfortunately such programs only work on hard disk drives and the phone is not being recognized as one.
What to do?

Check on Play - there are any number of apps to offer recovery of deleted photos etc.
Also I am unsure why your phone is not seen as a drive when connected to the PC - maybe check how it is connecting? Click the notification that comes on the phone when you connect it and see what mode it is connecting in.

My phone is running lollipop so no mass storage device mounting option which limits my options.
The gallery pictures where on the phone's internal memory and not on the SD card so how can i recover those? The Recuva FAQ's don't tell me how to do that.

Hello, I have my tattoo rooted for about 3 months now. I had the latest fyodor ROM now, but all of the sudden when I connected to disk drive it showed me mixed content, and if I clicked nothing happened.I tried running other roms that I had in the card, but same. I even tried a restore point to a completely other rom but nothing. PLEASE HELP ME!

What do you mean by mixed content?
http://yfrog.com/2tmixedcontentj that is what I mean.
Can u display the content of your card on your phone? if yes, I would suggest to connect the phone to usb (don't mount the sd card to pc), start adb and pull every content to your hdd (adb pull /sdcard/* YOURBACKUPLOCATION). Then reformat the sd card (format device J: via Windows) to FAT32...this should do it
EDIT: I did it, but when I pull it says : 0files pulled. 0 files skinned.
It's probably corrupt.
Try on a newer version of Windows (I see you're using Win 2000! Unless it's a skin).
Can you see them in Astro?
And have you done anything to your SDcard recently? like tried to make a Goldcard?
Also try accessing the SD card without going through phone (even if I don't think it's the problem, but better try everything before formatting). You can do this in many ways, e.g some computers (especially laptops) and printers have built in SDcard readers, or you could use a camera or Micro SD to USB adapter (like this one or this one).
I made my goldcard when I rooted the phone. It's a skin, it's XP actually No I didn't do anything to it. But do I really need to adb pull? 'cause I can replace what's on it(music bla bla).
well I'll format it, because I'd rather do this than spend money
edit: hmm strange, if I click on properties it shows me exactly the memory on it, it's 1.12 gb free.
well actually now it's in scaning for errors xD, hmmm no problem found. Ok FORMATTING NOW.
YEY FORMAT WORKEDThank you, although I would have done this too xDD

Hello everyone. I tried to search answer to this question, but so far found nothing.
This is known issue, when using Android SD build.
When I transfer files to my phone, the apps do not see the files. I have to restart my phone in order to see them. Does anyone knows how to fix it? I found ROM that I love, and it turns out to be such frustrating.
PS: I am also a noob, just got HD2 this afternoon.
Do you mean that you transfer them from your PC? If that the case it's worth checking if you not connecting to PC through Disk Drive, as this making "sd card" inaccsesible from phone apps. When you disconnect from PC, your files should be visible to the apps again.

You can install SDRescan.

Download MULTI MOUNT from market, and use it to enable the SD to the PC (not the android built in function) This is a must for all SD builds! cause with the standard method you can corrupt your data.Multi Mount allos the phone and the pc to access the card at the same time with no risk

If the data has already been formated, then you can't recover it. It's gone.

Dude. Don't rage.
Formatting data=deleting it permanently
You can't recovery formatted data. It's gone.
Next time, remember to do a backup.
If you google "recover formatted pics nexus 4" and have a read of the results then you will find progs for your pc/mac and apps for the phone that say you can recover your files from both internal sd(os side) and the sd card(data side).
You can use the trial versions to see what is recoverable but if you want the actual recovery then you will have to pay,its up to you.

Tried one of those when I accidentally formatted my Desire's sd-card. It didn't recover anything, and destroyed my hopes among it
I agree with him.... It's all gone if you formatted the data... Sorry bro

You can try connecting your device to the computer and running an image recovery program. There are free ones online, Lexar and SanDisk both make them.
Your phone needs to be seen by your computer as removable storage. Then run recovery on that drive.
Being rooted has nothing to do with it.
Good luck

Sorry to say this but i think you lost the pictures.
But the good news is you learned a lesson, always create a backup.
Try syncing it with dropbox or google drive, or like me both apps.

Try this from Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.defianttech.diskdigger
If that doesn't work try searching for UNDELETE on Google Play. Or come up with your own creative search keywords. You'll see a whole heap of recovery apps like thsi. These have varying effectiveness. 5 might not work, but the 6th one might work like a charm.
I've used apps like this before and they worked like 90% of the time for me. Meaning like 9 out of 10 photos would be found and be recoverable, but the 10th one had already been overwritten by other data. Nothing you can do about that situation.
In the mean time, don't take anymore pictures or download big files. Those could overwrite the spot on the sd card where the photos are located.
Im assuming these are photos of a beuatiful woman....so you can thank me if this works by sending me the photos. :laugh:
Wohoo! how come u know that?

How about if you root it, put a custom recovery on it, flash a jelly bean rom, then mount the internal sd on the pc and recover the delted files that way.
Just be sure not to wipe the internal SD in recovery. Just wipe the data.
