I am sorry to hear you also deleted something useful accidentally. To be honest, I have ever also shift deleted some camera memory card photos mistakenly and tried many file recovery solutions online.
Many friends online just suggest me to apply some deleted memory card data recovery software. So, in order to take my photos back with success, I do tried many ones and finally recover most of my photos back.
So, if you also have no luck with such deleted data loss troubles, go read more related information here:
icare-recovery.com/free/undelete-files-sd-card-freeware.html
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_recovery
Hope they will be helpful for you.

Is there anything like that for retrieving data of the internal storage?
I followed these different guides but raw file using vhdtool and recuva did not give me any single file that was last present in my internal memory and even extundelete didn't return any single file that was in the internal storage, some of these tools return hundreds of text files and images that I had no idea was in my internal storage but none of them return me any of the hundreds of images and videos that I was sure were in my internal storage.
My phone is Samsung Galaxy S3(i9300) and I currently run AOSP 5.1.1 if that helps...

The recovery apps mentioned in the previous couple of posts are all 'paid for apps' and don't mention being able to recover files from the phones internal memory. They only seem to be capable of working on drives can be mounted such as the MicroSD cards in the mentioned devices. Jelly bean phones connect via MTP so pretty sure they won't work on the internal memory of the likes of the S3 or S4.
The only tried and tested method (for the internal memory) seems to be the one in the OP.
Thanks OP for the video, makes it easier to follow Wartickler's instructions.

Totally agree on that. Smartphone use Flash memory as the main storage, which is different from hard drive used on our computers. It's almost impossible to recover deleted data from internal memory. If you could, then you are with great luck.

How to Recover Deleted Data from Internal Memory on Android

As internal memory doesn’t mount as a drive like external memory does, and common data recovery tools cannot scan Android’s internal memory for deleted or lost files and retrieve them back like external SD card. Don’t worry. Just use Android Recovery Mac, which not only can recover deleted data from external SD card, but also recover deleted data from Android phone internal memory on Mac.

This is a Tutorial for recovering unwanted deletion of files in the INTERNAL MEMORY of your Samsung Galaxy S3
I have finally finished the video to tribute War Tickler's thread!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HomqBx0J0e8

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR A BRICKED S3. IF YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE TUTORIAL PROPERLY YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM. ROOT AND RECOVER MEMORY FROM YOUR PHONE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Make sure your Computer Hard Drive has Sufficient Space:
If your Galaxy S3 is 16GB have at least 20GB of space on your Computer HARDDRIVE.
If your Galaxy S3 is 32GB have at least 50GB of space on your Computer HARDDRIVE.
