My Samsung phone was filled with all kinds of data. So I rooted it and tried removing some unnecessary apps. I typed "Settings"> "Application Manager"> "All". Then I selected the app that I didn't want anymore and hit “Clear data”. During this process, I mistakenly deleted the contacts. I have tried several recovery tools to recover deleted contacts from my rooted Samsung phone. But they didn't work. Any ideas for recovering lost contacts from rooted Samsung ?
