If you have Google's backup service enabled (under Settings > Back up my data > Back up my data) then a factory reset should restore your bookmarks. It's only possible to restore during initial setup.

For the future, why not use Google Chrome, your bookmarks are then synced with the cloud and anywhere else you use Chrome.

Check this app

You can restore the deleted files but not sure whether you can restore the bookmarks
You need to be rooted to use this app

I don't recall the OP saying his phone was rooted--only his bookmarks mysteriously disappeared.

I tried all of the prescribed remedies with no luck.

-I tried killing the safari app.
-I tried killing ALL of the running apps.
-I tried turning off/on the iPhone.
-I tried a hard restart.

No luck.

So after basically giving up, I decided to turn on iCloud backup for Safari so that if this happened again, I could at least hopefully retrieve my bookmarks from iCloud.

After doing this, all of my bookmarks that I had on my OLD phone before restoring to the new one reappeared. :-D

So I don't know if this maybe all had to do with the iCould setting on the new phone being set incorrectly by the Genius at the Apple store, or if it's just a weird bug, or what. But turning on iCloud backup for Safari worked for me in restoring my bookmarks.
