Solution
First you need to connect your phone to the computer and make sure the memory where the photos was stored is visible in windows.. be it phone memory or memory card..

Then download and install this software.. its free..
http://www.piriform.com/recuva

Then scan that memory with this software and it should be able to recover most of the deleted files..

One more thing, it only works with normally deleted files... if your files were securely deleted, then you won't be able to recover it..

Hi
Another free & well regarded program is combo of Testdisk + Photorec

PhotoRecovery
For widows or Linux .
Requires internal storage to show up in the same way as USB device

Warning if internal memory formatted usually erases & wipes beyond possibility of recovery

Final point you need to recover to a different device not un delete to original location
Then you can try different programs & see which recovers most pictures

Best of luck
