Motorola Moto G — How to recover deleted pictures from Moto G?

Hey @Banzee Simmons that was sad anyway have a look at out post How to recover delete photos on Android see if it can help you out in recovering the pictures back.

For anyone that doesn't like following links, there's a couple of things to remember (until you get around to following the links to tutorials):

1. Act fast. This is the single most important thing to do.

2. Switch off data and Wi-Fi. Your photos are only lost permanently once they are overwritten, so you want to make sure no downloads or updates happen before you recover your content.

3. Download a recovery tool. There's plenty of free ones or trial versions available. You might wasn't to follow the link in @John's reply above to get recommendations or to be walked through the recovery process.

4. Save those photos to your computer, a microUSB stick, burn a CD, print them out...whatever. Now that you have them back, don't lose them.

5. Stop it from happening again by syncing your photos to the cloud (if you trust it), regularly backing them up to CD or your computer or installing an app that can automatically do this for you.

Good advice man.

hey i m new to the forum and liked your advice really. @Banzee have you recovered your files?

Not to worry, the pics aren't completely erased until they're overwritten by new data after it's been deleted. You can however make use of third party apps and recover them. Here's how it's done - youtu.be/U3CiSik28zY

here is another way to recover deleted photos from sd card

Is your file in your micro SD? that is easy to recover. Can your computer read your Motorola ? if it can't then just buy a card reader which is very cheap. plug your SD card to card reader. after your cell phone or the card reader connect to your computer.
And comes to the most Important part. Download a recovery tool. just google recover deleted photos or something, I assume you didn't know there is such a useful tool. I have used Jihosoft before, quite useful, of course you can chose other recovery tool, just chose a nice one and follow the guide to use the tool. you will get your pictures recovered. you pictures is not deleted only if your pictures is not over written. so do stop using the phone if you need to recover.

Where is the recovery tool? give me link plz

H-Data Recovery Master is not bad. I tried a lot of recovery tool, only H-Data Recover 95% of my lost files.

Don't worry. This happened to me once. I find Jihosoft Photo Recovery online. And got all my data back. You can have a try.

I want my vidos return to my phone that taken off it I didn't get how they got deleted

I am stuck as i have lost data from Internal storage, I am having Moto G first Gen device, recently upgraded to 5.1 lollypop version.

I have tried all software tools that are available so far. All of them require "USB mass storage Mode" But to my badluck, I have recently done an OTA upgrade by motorola to 5.1 lollypop version. THis means my version does not support USB mass storage mode. I will not be able to mount and search for data recovery. My Phone is un-rooted. If i try to root it i my remaining data is anyway get formatted. And i cannot recover the lost data at all. I am stuck. Can anyone help ?

After the pictures and videos are deleted by mistake, you'd better stop using your phone.
Then find a data recovery for Motorola program to help you retrieve the files as soon as possible.

Next time, you should backup some important data in time. If you don't backup and delete some data by accident, you should use some recover tools as soon as possible. Because you know, the later to recover files, the harder to recover successfully. Like the FonePaw and Wondershare are quite nice to use. You can have a look.

If you were using Google Photos they would have been backed up to the cloud already. In fact to save storage space on your phone you can always go to Google photos on your phone, go to: "free up space", you can delete the photos on your phone because they're backed up to the cloud. If you want to see them using your phone, go to the google photos app.
You can access them on your PC if you have a Google Account and also download them to your PC.
