hello 😊

sorry for my english knowing, this is not my native language..
yesterday I was at my friend, and his son deleted all my sms (900+), all contacts and all my pictures (around 1.3 GB) 😞
how can I recover? I don't have backup :/
I'm a linux user, with a configured wine....
please, help me. this is very important for my work :'(

have a nice day 😊

Step 1: Turn off your phone immediately. The more/longer you use it, the more likely it is that you'll be overwriting something you wish to recover.

Step 2: Files on a memory card can be recovered using a PC and file recover tools (that can handle FAT file systems). In this case, it probably just means pictures recovered.

Otherwise, I'm afraid you're probably out of luck. A commercial data recovery service might be able to do more (but it will cost you, and there are no guarantees): http://www.krollontrack.com/
