iPhone photo recovery

First, check if their physical footprint still exists. Go to Settings > General > Usage and check the amount of storage available, do you notice that there is a lot of used storage ? You can also check it through iTunes, which might show used memory labeled as Other.

I lost all my pictures and videos after jailbreaking my phone, yet iTunes showed that they are still taking physical memory (labeled as Other - iTunes did not recognise my pics or vids anymore). This means they cannot be viewed via Camera Roll but they are still stored in the phone.

To fix that, download iFunBox and use it to locate and extract the images from the phone (no need for iTunes to access the phone). I managed to extract all my photos from the phone to an external USB, which accumulated to over 20GB of photos and videos.

Use this method and you should recover your photos and videos with no previous backup. If your phone shows that there is a lot of empty storage, then your photos might have actually been completely removed.

I just got an iPhone 5S and I shot some video on it before I synced it to iTunes, I (yes, stupidly because I didn't understand what the term completely entailed) restored the old phone to the new one and wiped out the video files. It looks like you can recover from the 4S even without back up but currently no one has software for recovering files after a restore on a 5S, and I checked out Wondershare Dr. Fone and other programs, Dr. Fone just shows me what was deleted from my old phone. Wondershare said that they were working on it and so for now I am not going to shoot video on the 5S in hopes that it will be soon.

I started down the DFU path from some posts I saw here but never got the scan prompt from iTunes. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

The reason you can't follow the steps in the post you quoted is that it's spam. Before being edited by the hosts, it had a link to "recovery" software that, for a price, you could download and ..... not accomplish anything. All of those posts that you've noted that show THIS method were cut and paste spam posts. The hosts, for reasons of their own, delete the link but leave the rest of the post.

unless you have an iTunes or iCloud backup, other wise, you cannot use third party software to restore deleted photos.

Hei Frank,

Thanks for your advice.

I've instaled iFunbox, because itunes erased all data from my iphone 5 and replace it with old stuff from an old iphone 3GS.

New iphone still using 5GB of space, but has only 7 pictures (100mb) visible.

Where are my original 5GB (480 pictures).

In which folder did you find it. Please send me some light 🙂

That's a spam post from more than a year ago. You won't get any joy there.
