Example of deleting image files off phone
Is it possible to recover photos without rooting the phone? I deleted the pictures files off my smart phone by accident the other day and I had to get them back. But some people told me that I need to root my phone if I wanted to restore those deleted photos. I did not want to root it, because I thought it was dangerous and unsafe. Those deleted image files are useful and vital for me, indeed. So I really have no idea what I can do now. If only I can retrieve the deleted photos without rooting the phone, but is it possible? -Damon from New York

Situations that the photos may become inaccessible on the phone
There are many different situations in which we can not access files such as image files saved on the mobile phone at the previous time. How many have you ever met? Fortunately, we can try to perform the data recovery on the phone to view those original contents again thanks to data recovery program in most cases. Actually, we can perform files recovery as long as those files lost because of logical but not physical reasons. Here are some data loss cases logical as follows:
1. The pictures were deleted off the mobile phone. We can not view pictures saved on the smart phone if they were deleted off it, so those image files become inaccessible for us. Luckily, we do not need to root the phone if we had to access those deleted photos again, because we can ask the data recovery software for help to restore them quickly and easily.
2. The smart phone was formatted by error or by intention. We may format the mobile phone when access files on the phone itself accidentally or intentionally. There would be no file and folder on the phone after the format no matter how many contents have been stored on it previously. But we can try to get those original files back from the formatted phone with data recovery tool.
3. The phone was formatted on the computer. We may format the smart phone on the computer rather than format it just on the phone itself. We tend to save new files and folders on the smart phone after formatting it on the computer. To our surprise, we may not access those new contents saved on the phone when plug it out of the computer and open it. In other words, those files are inaccessible on the phone, and the phone is incompatibility.
4. Other cases that the image files become inaccessible on the phone.

The image files can be saved on other storage devices other than the mobile phone, such as computer hard disk drive, external hard drive, pen stick, memory card, and so on. What's more, we may be able to get those pictures back from all of those memory devices after losing them.
