Unfortunately we are not allowed to provide firmware to users without a support contract.
Depending on how you formatted it, the backup partition may still be available for you to boot off of. 
See this article (option [B]): https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/FortiGate-BIOS-variations-and-firmware-loading-options/t...

Hi Ghobashy01
Be aware that FGT30E will be out of support soon. It doesn't support any firmware higher than 6.x. 
If you are using it just to get used to FortiGate commands it is ok, but if you are planning to use/test any feature available on 7.x or higher you won't be able to do.

if not then you can try downloading from your support portal, if you don't have a portal then we won't be able to provide firmware without a support contract.
