The only time I was able to recover lost data on a flash drive that was accidentally formated was with a program called Get Data Back, and I think it was pure luck that I was able to get anything back since the person I was attempting the recovery for formated once and then didn't try anything again until the flash drive was given to me. Also I had to trick the program into thinking the flash drive was a hard drive, it was an older copy of the program, I haven't looked at any versions of it in the last 3 years, and the copy I was using was at least 2 years old 3 years ago.
