I take it, you checked if "My Photo Stream" is still enabled in your Settings on the iPhone? Settings > iCloud > Photos, then turn on My Photo Stream, and that you are using the same Apple ID as before?

There may be two reasons for missing "My Photo Stream" photos.

• The "My Photo Stream" album will not be shown at all, if you enabled "iCloud Photo Library (Beta)". Have you enabled this in the "Settings > Photos & Camera"?
• Photo stream photos, that you did not safe to your Camera Roll, may vanish after a month, since iCloud will store only the photos added during the last month, and maximally 1000 photos. if the photos have been older than a month not saved to the camera roll, they can no longer be downloaded from iCloud.

I have followed your advice and I have restored the photo stream tab by disabling the iCloud photo library.

Is the restored album empty? And none of the photos are in your "All Photos"? Are you conncted to Wi-Fi, signed in with the correct Apple ID? And the iPhone is charged? It may take a while, until the photos will download again from iCloud, if they are still in iCloud. However, photos older than a month may no longer be in iCloud.

My Photo Stream is not meant to store photos; you are supposed to download the photos to your Camera Roll during the month they are in iCloud. And Photo Stream is not included in your iCloud backup, only your Camera Roll is included in the iCloud backup.

So you can neither retrieve older photo stream photos from iCloud nor from iCloud backups.

Have you saved your iPhone photos to a computer and could restore them from there?

Sorry, it was no better news.

If you always used a Mac with iPhoto, and had Photo Stream enabled there, you might still find some there. Disconnect your internet and open iPhoto. Check the iCloud photos in the left column. This is basically your last hope unless you have another device still somewhere that hasn't been switched on since accidentally deleting the pics.

You said that you have backed up all photos on iCloud yet you cannot find them? Right? But if that is the case, have you ever synced them to iTunes? Because as far as I know, you can restore iPhone data from iTunes backup files very easily. But I guess you don't have iTunes backup files maybe.

There is still chances to get back all your photo missing. Because you have iCloud backup files, you can use iPhone Data Recovery or some tools like that and then choose "Recover from iCloud Backup Files". It cost you no money if you try the trial version so don't worry.

All photos can be retrieve and saved on you computer.

This is how to recover deleted photos from iPhone, hope it helps too.
