I don't want to alarm you, but in key servers are only your public keys, not private. You need private keys for encryption. I hope you have backup of your phone or keys somewhere.

Hmm, well if it is still in the app, you could use the backup feature, but by the OP it seems your problem is their not in your phone anymore. The idea of backup is to do it before, not after =)

Unfortunately if your phone got reset, meaning all previous data is gone and you don't have backup of it, in any form, anywhere, except public keys in public server, then you are out of luck.
