If the pictures, videos, music were stored on the SD card, then yes you can using "recuva" if they were on the internal storage, I'm afraid but they can't be restore

Hi,

If you perform a factory reset via Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset > Mark that you want to clear the internal storage, then everything will be deleted and it's not possible to recover the data.

Or you can perform a software repair via PC Companion which also will reinstall the latest firmware and clear the data:

In PC Companion you press start on Support Zone > Start on Update the phone/tablet software > Repair phone/tablet (the blue clickable link in the message) > Follow these steps without having your device connected to the PC.

Follow the instruction that appears in the program and do not connect your device until this guide tells you how to connect it.
