I have my pictures stored on my 32gb SD Card on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and they have accidently deleted. I am wanting to know is there any way I can get my pictures and videos back? If I have to root my phone to get the files back can some one direct my to the files I have to download and install to root my phone. I am new at rooting and if I have to do it to get the files back then I will do it. I did have a lot of pictures on my SD card in my phone and I really would like to recover them.

No root needed to do so. Good Luck
No Luck. I need to be able to mount my Note 2 via USB. The program you directed me to does not check files on my phone only my PC Hard Drive. I need a program that can recover files on the Note 2's SD Card.
You're talking about your removable ext sdcard, correct? (since you referenced 32gb). If so, take out your ext sd.... put it in a micro SD adapter... plug into computer. ..and use one of many sd card file recovery programs. Just avoid writing to your card until you try to recover files (risk overwriting).

I have a rooted phone with an 8gb sd card in it where i store clockworkmod recoveries, backups, ROMs, many apps, media of course etc etc. So if ever I were to change the SD card in the phone, what is the correct procedure to do so such that I don't screw up the phone?
Has anybody else gone through this recently? Reason I ask is I am going to order a 32gb sd card (I believe up to 32 is supported) shortly.
Thanks
Nothing bad happened to me. My 8gb card no longer works so I had to replace it with my 2gb that came with it. There's no procedure with swapping sd cards in the phone, but you may wanna copy all the contents of your previous card to the desktop of your computer and transfer them to your new 1. If you reformatted your previous card to fat32 then do so with your new one. Pop it in and let it rip.

Thanks! Seems easier than I was afraid it might be!
Soo, just copy and paste and put new card in? Is that it?
Yes, 32 Gb cards are supported. Make sure the new SD is formatted FAT32.
Don't remove or install any SD while device is powered on - unmount the SD, then power down to remove/reinstall SD.
Copy contents of old SD to PC so you'll have a backup - then copy to new SD, put in device, power on.
Noteworthy is if you use an AOSP ROM, many of those interact with SD during boot, so if you simply replace old with new and it isn't formatted FAT32 and/or do not have the contents of the old card on it, you will bootloop.
Recommend making period backups of SD to PC - monthly or some frequency meaningful to you ~ so you have a backup if/when SD card fails.
After numerous flashes, back-ups, etc my flash card is a mess. Is there a safe way to just wipe it and start clean without bricking my phone?

Search how to unroot your evo in 2 steps. And this isn't dev material. Q&A is where this belongs.
I believe you are looking for just the flash card? meaning the microsd card?
there are a few ways.
1. Pull the card out plug it directly into a computer, back up all data and then format it...then plug back into the phone and copy your stuff back.
2. plug the phone into a computer, transfer / backup all your sd card contents, go to settings sd & phone storage umount SD card, format sd card and put your stuff back.
I just know there is crap on this sd card that is a waste buy not sure what...

Great Answer....
bud if all you want to do is wipe the sdcard then fust go to throught the phone settings and do a memory card format. that will wipe everything of the card.
I have a big problem and am wondering if anyone can help me. My evo won't read my sd card. Is there a way I can unroot without using my sd card?
Is it the evo or is it the SD card?
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
It's definitely the microsd card. I put the microsd card into the sdcard adapter and put it into my laptops memory slot and could open it up. I need to unroot it to take it back to the sprint store to get a new one.

If it's "definitely the microSD card" then why would you need to unroot your EVO? Sprint is not going to give you a new EVO for an SD card problem. If anything, they will simply exchange the SD card. Of course, I'm only speculating. Anyway, if you're certain it is the SD card and can read it from your laptop, how about copying the contents of the card onto your laptop and then repartition and reformat it via your laptop. Afterwards, copy the contents back to your SD card, reinsert it in your EVO and reboot.
sorry meant to say definitely not the sd card.
No problem.......Still, I would copy the contents of the card to the laptop and then repartition and reformat it. Afterwards, I would copy the files back to the card and reboot the EVO. Also, connect your device to your laptop, boot into recovery, select the MS-USB option and see if you can see the card from your laptop. If you can, download the SECOND file from this link -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? t=884060 -- copy it to your SD card and flash it from within recovery.

I've managed to use AAHK to turn my sd card into a gold card.
At this point, I'm thinking of changing my phone to s3 mini. Can I use this card like a normal SD card on the s3 mini? Or do I need to get a new sd card?
If I need to get a new card, is there a way to "ungold" the card? I assume "ungolding" the card is probably to format it. If that's the case, I can just copy the contents out, format and copy the contents back right?
Thanks!
Throw it away, give it away, format it, use it in a new phone, etc. Nothing about "gold card" is affected.

You can use it normally, Samsung devices do not need goldcards. The boot partition of the sdcard is not used in a usual basis, just for situations like flashing PD98IMG files, so you can leave it as it is and will no have an issue. Formatting it won't help..
I just got my phone yesterday. I had copied the files I needed from my old phone over to my SD card. This morning I copied several files FROM the SD card TO the phone without any problem. However, when I tried to copy files FROM my phone back to the SD card, files would not copy. Any thoughts on why that might happen? Is there a setting I need to change? The card is formatted in exFAT. Might that be the issue?
I'm considering saving my files to my laptop and reformatting the card. Can that be done on the phone? If not, when I reformat using my laptop, what format is recommended, FAT32, exFAT, or NTFS?
Thanks.

Can only be "fixed" with root.

A learning curve, I guess. I'm moving from a rooted phone. I guess I can expect surprises. So...essentially, I can copy TO the phone from an SD card, but I cannot FROM the phone to the SD card. And I can't delete files on the SD card using ES File Explorer (as an example)? The only way to manage SD card files is by using USB or putting the SD into my laptop? Hmmmm. It also looks like apps may not be able to manage its own files if the files are kept on the SD card; is that correct?
All correct, except:

Apps can manage their data if it's in the right place, see http://www.doubleencore.com/2014/03/android-external-storage/
