Updated to 8.1 on my nokia 1520 and lost my photos that were stored on my SD card.

[WPCentral Question]

I finally did the update after it had been constantly asking me and now i regret my decision. All my photos that were stored to my SD card are gone and there were some memories on there that i cant get back. Is there anyway to reverse this?

If it was wiped from the mem card then the chances are slim.. Try recuva by piriform.. it is a recovery app

Try not to use the sd card.. Removing it from the phone would be a good idea

Any chance you had your camera roll set to auto-backup on OneDrive?

You could try using a microSD adapter and a USB card reader. Plug it in to a PC and see if you can access your photos that way.

i would try this also. used the program myself and it recovered pictures i forgot i had saved on my sd card

 

[switch side method]

Also....download "files" from the app store. You will be amazed at how many pics are on there

He probably checked the option to wipe the sd-card. Big mistake. I downgraded to 8.0 then upgraded to 8.1... I didn't remove my sd-card and all my stuff it's in there, because during the process there a check mark if you want to wipe the sd-card, you need to leave unchecked.
