How to recover deleted files (Contact /SMS) after flash

[Guest aafi-rocks]

Hi All,

I was recently helping a friend of mine to hard reset Omnia Pro. Before the hard reset I had backed up all call logs, contacts, SMS using PimBackup. PimBackup created a .pib file and stored it in external storage card.

I did a hard reset, after which I noticed the backup file was deleted :( , I tried using data recovery tool, but couldn't recover the .pib file.

Before formatting I noticed that the phone had two folder named storage card and I doubt it may have saved the .pib file in Internal storage (device storage).

Long story short : is there a way to recover deleted items from phones device memory after hard reset. Or any other way to recover missing contacts..

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks.

Contacts /Messages recovery is so simple .If you did backup ,extract backup contacts .Or you can try some apps to get contacts /messages back.

Such as :

Android Phone Contacts Recovery

Restore Data from Android

Regain SMS /Messages from Android Phone

I had the same problem with OP, but the above suggestions didn't do any help for me.

Actually, you can still recover lost data android before they were overwritten by new data, an android data recovery app could get them back from your phone, no matter what kind of reasons you lost them.
