Dunno if you're still looking for help, but there's an app called 'disk digger' which will scan your sdcard for deleted files. It's pretty effective, I'll add the link shortly.. It's for rooted phones only though.

How can I recover deleted photos and videos back from my Android Phone? Yesterday, my bother deleted many precious photos on the inner memory card of my Android phone. So, I am just wondering whether there is a way for me to get them all back. Do you have any idea? Do you know how to get back deleted files from an Android phone?
Help, please!
Help, please!
Hi Archer!
Did you ever complete a backup of all your files and pictures onto your PC or Cloud service?
Apparently, even if your data gets deleted, it is still actually there unless something is written over it. You can try doing data recovery with some programs over the internet or an app.
Try:
Data Recovery
Wondershare Data Recovery
Undelete Beta
What I do to avoid this happening to me is have automatic updates to Drop Box, because I know how crappy it is to lose alllll your pictures! It has happened more than once ot me when I've lost my laptop and had them accidentally deleted.
Let me know how it went!

Yes, you are right! There are ways for you to restore all your deleted photos and videos back from this Android Phone.
1). Have you made a backup of your Android Phone data on the Clouds or other drives?
If you have, you can absolutely copy them all back from the backup.
2). Apply a third-party data recovery program
But, unfortunately, you have not made any backup. A third-party data recovery program can help you out as long as these photos have not been overwritten by anything new on the same phone memory card.
So, what you should do now is to choose a proper program for your photos.
But, if you are not familiar with data recovery stuff, you can firstly use some memory card data recovery freeware that can deeply scan your card and restore your data as much as possible for free, such as Recuva, TestDisk and iCare Data Recovery Free, etc.
Note: I hope you can learn a valuable lesson to back up everything important on separate places in the future.

Thank you for your nice help!
After reading your answers, I know that a data recovery program can be a really good way for me to go one now. So, I directly tried your mentioned data recovery freeware and finally restored all my wanted photos and videos back.
Thank you very much!!!

if you deleted them then recover them straight away then you'll 100% get them back, but if you've been using your phone a lot and over writing those deleted files... then your chance of getting all of them back will be slimmer. Try to recover your files, you'll need to be in debug mode then mount as USB, then follow instructions from there:

Hey @Rich, you should be able to get your images back (at least most of them, some might be gone because updates or something may have been written over them already), but you need to act fast. the suggestions already posted are worth a look, but you will really need to get ahold of the use of a computer if those don't work as simply as you hope. At the very least you've learned the lesson we all learn once (or maybe twice) before we start backing up photos regularly.

Have you got Photo Stream turned on? If so, check there. I deleted some pictures before by mistake but found that they were stored on the Photo Stream. You can then copy them back to the Camera Roll. Worked for me. Or you can try Photo Recovery to recover photos.
Photos and videos are the best means to cherish good old days. Many Android users said they have taken a lot of photos and videos in their daily life and store them on the devices. If you accidentally deleted some photos, videos or other media files from Android phone, or formatted the media storage, don't panic, some recovery tools can help you.
Sorry for hearing that, losing photos or videos from phone must be extremely miserable thing. I had such terrible experience either. Luckily for me, I got the files back with a[ at the end.
