GetData Recover My Photos 3.72.7

Most digital cameras do not wipe photos from your storage media when you delete photos or use the format command. If your digital camera storage media is corrupt and you get the message "Media is not formatted would you like to format now?", your photos may still be recoverable. Recover My Photos can save the day. Recover My Photos searches your media at a low level to recover deleted photos and display them to you.
Recover My Photos works with many types of direct camera connections where your media card appears as a drive letter on your PC. If your camera is not displayed as a drive letter when connected to your PC you can use a digital camera card reader.
Recover My Photos is fast and easy. No technical skill is required to recover deleted photos. Recover My Photos will recover from Flash, Memory Stick, Smart Media or other storage media, including your PC hard drive.
What you see is what you get! Any pictures that you see in the free trial version can be safely recovered once you have purchased and registered the program. A software registration key is provided on-line at the end of the purchase process and is also sent to you by email for fast recovery. Recovered photos need to be saved to separate drive (e.g. 'D:/') from the one on which they were recovered.

Okay so here it goes, I restarted my iphone 6 the other day and it won't boot properly. (stucked in apple logo). I made a hard reset and followed the instructions on how to update using itunes. I was able to update it to ios10.3.3 and it worked perfectly.
My battery died and while I was charging it, the apple logo kept on blinking and kept on rebooting (dark screen) for like 4-5 seconds. I tried the same method again, making sure I click on UPDATE and not RESTORE.
It finished updating the ios again but to my horror, it restored to factory settings. I lost all 60gb worth of photos and videos all the memories I had for the last two years. I know it's stupid of me not to back it up in itunes or icloud.
How about those third party data recovery softwares? or any company that can recover the content? I checked my icloud and not a single photo were uploaded.. and why did this update ruined my phone?? It was working perfectly for the last 2 years.
It can't be recovered if you restore the device to factory settings. Storage on an iPhone is encrypted. When you restore it the encryption key is trashed and a new one is generated. Without the original key the contents of the phone's storage are irretrievable. It's true that the FBI was able to recover data from an iPhone 5, but it cost them over $900,000. And the method their contractor used would not work on a newer phone or newer version of iOS.
The update did not ruin your phone, at least not from your description. Something went wrong with your phone, maybe software, maybe hardware, maybe cosmic rays. It's hard to say what. But, from your description, it happened before you updated. My iPhone 6 once simply restarted itself while I was using it and, when it finally rebooted, it had wiped itself. I restored from the iCloud back up that had been automatically made the night before and went about my life. There is an old saying about data storage: It's not a question of if your hard drive/iPhone/USB stick will fail, it's a question of when.
Most of the recovery software I've seen for iPhones pulls data from the back up on your computer. Now that the phone has been restored, it's unlikely that there is anything recoverable on the phone itself. You could try a company like DriveSavers (they have a good reputation). They will need you to send them your phone. If they can extract any data, it's going to be costly, on the order of thousands of dollars.
For the future, turn on iCloud back up. If your phone is plugged in at night, connected to WiFi and the screen is locked, the phone will automatically back up overnight. I also have redundant systems for backing up photographs. I like Google photos. I also import them to my Mac by connecting the phone to my computer with a cable every couple of months.
I'm afraid there may never be an answer to that question. All electronic devices are fallible in some way. 2 years sounds about right for a battery to fail due to usage and age. Likes tires and brake pads on a car, they are consumable and will not last forever.
I am wondering if anyone can help. My phone got water-damaged (while being in a LifeProof case!). It will not turn on. When plugged into a wall it shows the USB / ITunes icon (recovery mode). When I plug it into the computer, nothing happens (nothing on the screen, no recognition by the computer). I desperately need to get data off it (photos and some app data). I called a few data recovery places and got all sorts of answers and quotes. The most concerning "answer" I got stated that the symptoms imply that the IOS itself is gone and getting data off is impossible because of security / encryption issues. At this point I am really confused and don't want to spend absurd amounts of money. Can anyone tell me anything definitive or possibly recommend a trusted and competent data recovery place? THANKS!
Second, don't let anyone near your phone unless they are data recovery experts from iOS devices (iPhones/iPads). Repairing devices for the sake of using the device is completely different from repairing it to extract data. I've seen many cases where 60 minutes of work would have sufficed me to extract data, but had to spend 2-3 days worth of labor to repair what someone else inflicted.
Also, the water damage occurred a while ago. At this point the device is completely dry. I assume plugging it in will not cause further damage. If I am wrong, please correct me and explain why. Thanks.
It is difficult to say without being able to inspect the device myself, best case scenario the lightning port flex cable needs to be replaced which is why the computer is not recognising it. This is a simple job which any repair shop should be able to do for you. Otherwise there may be damage on the logic board which can either be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol (again any repair store should be able to do this) or it may need some micro soldering work to recover the data which is quite a bit more tricky.
My recommendation is to take it to your local repair store and get them to inspect the device to see if they can recover the data by cleaning the board and replacing the flex cable. Make sure you stress that you want to recover the data and not restore the device!!. If that is unsuccessful then you could try sending it in to iPad rehab ( ) or somewhere similar to see if they can recover the data for you.
I am thinking of trying to clean the board myself. It seems pretty simple. (do talk me out of it if I am overestimating my DYI abilities). I wasn't able to find a local repair store that seems good :(
Its not too difficult, you will need to be confident in your ability to open the phone and remove the logic board without damaging it and you will need access to isopropyl alcohol and an ultrasonic cleaner
Gotcha. So... what would a place like ipadrehab do that goes above and beyond simply cleaning the components and possibly replacing ones that may have shorted out or something? I am trying to figure out what's involved. I called up a data recovery company that gave me a nearly $2k estimate. Clearly they must do something super special. What might that be?
So cleaning the board would remove any corrosion, then a place like ipadrehab would be able to do micro soldering work on the board to replace any shorted or damaged micro-components which are preventing you from being able access the phone, they cost about $300 for a full board service. I can't even imagine how the data recovery company would even begin to justify $2k, that just seems like madness to me.
I was not asking someone to tell me what's wrong with my phone. I want someone to tell me how data recovery works and what is possible. I don't want to pay a company an absurd amount of money for nothing. If there is someone who actually has a clue here, please educate me about my options and how data recovery process works.
You didn't try to help, your answer was useless, condescending and did not provide any information whatsoever. Sorry, but I am not going to be grateful for that. If you want to see what a helpful answer is, see Ethen's.
