What do you mean by that? Did you: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings? If so, & no backup to restore from, your data is gone. While there are third-party software solutions that "claim" to be able to recover data from an iPhone, most don't work, & all are expensive.

Only thing I could suggest is a data recovery service, like this:

http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/

Bear in mind, these services are expensive, with no guarantee of success. By expensive, I mean Us $500 or more.

Thank You Wjosten,

I will follow the steps, but after following those steps and erasing the data, is their any probability of getting back the data by any means?

Look, it takes specialized equipment & software to try to recovery data from an iPhone that has been erased. This stuff is expensive & generally not available to your average user. So, unless you had Nuclear launch codes stored on your phone, you have nothing to worry about.
