Help is there any way to undo factory reset?

I have never lost photos, were they stored to your internal or external card? If external you need to remove it as Hazi said before doing any flashing/resets.

I learnt the hard way too. Thankfully most of my photos were also uploaded to either photobucket or Facebook so I was able to retrieve those but music was lost and I had to find it all again. Now all my photos and music, including my own ringtones are stored on the external sd card so I just take it out when doing anything like wiping or flashing.

I did forget to remove it when I put ics on but thankfully all remained intact. Phew.

I've tried a couple of the apps that supposedly recover stuff from a wiped card but none of them worked.

On the plus side, you will be able to reinstall your games etc afresh and now back them up. Photos, sadly are lost unless you have uploaded them anywhere.

I feel your pain, it's a horrid feeling when you realise what's happened.

You could try running a recovery program, when you delete files and sometimes even with a reformat, the data is still there. You may be able to recover some if not all of your photos.

I use a free one called Recuva, which you run on your PC, connecting your phone in mass storage mode to show the internal memory as a drive on your PC.

Worth a shot.

No i selected the settings on the phone under settings, Privacy, Factory data reset. I can't find anything in the DCIM folder.
Which program would i use from the play store to restore the settings?

You could try 'undelete for root users'.
Think we're all surprised that your photos were deleted with a factory reset.
Hope it can be of use.

Wow this is a strange one.

The first time I did a factory reset I backed up all my photo's expecting them to be deleted, but the reset never touched them. It basically removed all the Apps I had installed, disassociated my phone from my gmail account and cleared my address book. It never touched my mp3's or my photo's - and at the time they were on the internal SD because I never had an external one at the beginning.

I wonder if the effects of a factory reset differ depending on which firmware you are running...

goots it deleted everything contacts, music and of course photos. I'm gutted as i went to my best friends hens night and lost all the photos.

I don't suppose there is any chance you use Google+ ?

It automatically uploads all your photos to an online album.

Dropbox for Android too, automatically uploads your photo's to online storage (private storage so photo's aren't made public) as you take them or choose wifi only so that it uploads when you get home.

I think Picasa also does the same.

Not nice that you lost important photos, you just have to make sure it doesn't happen again.
