help with iphone jailbreak gone wrong.

spectre440 · Aug 31, 2011

after a recent attempt at jailbreaking an iphone has gone wrong i managed to wipe and restore the device and all of its applications, but none of the contacts, photos, sms messages, etc'.

a backup has not been performed prior to this.

is there any way of somehow restoring this information (particularly contacts)?
any way at all?

does the iphone/itunes dump it somewhere in any form? raw data or something?

seriosuly, just gimme anything i can possibly work with.

thanks in advance!

Correct me if I'm wrong someone but I've been told that flash memory (as the sort in the iPhone) is near impossible to get data off using file recovery software. Other than that you really have no hope tbh.

my inetion is not to recover the data off the device itself, but off my PC, is there any place where itunes dumps this kind of thing?

i think itunes keeps copies, no idea how to get it off.

and as an FYI, jailbreaking wipes the phone completely... so... yeah. you didnt plan this out well.

I don't beleive there is. As mentioned by Mussels, jailbreaking removes EVERYTHING from the phone including pictures.

I know it wipes everything, but it's not my iPhone we're talking about. What I want to know is if there's anything I can possibly do to somehow restore the lost contacts at least... I've found the folder on my PC where iTunes dumps it's sync and backup data, but there are over a thousand files in it, and they all contain a mixture of gibberish and XML. I think I might be able to restore it from there but for the meantime I don't really know if that's possible.

Any and all suggestions you can give me will all be welcome.

If it had been synced with itunes you might try to sync it again.

I had a cousin who lost an iphone and when he plugged his new replacement into itunes it was able to recover everything that was on his old one except some photos that he had taken since the last sync.

This. It'll ask, after restoring, if you'd like to set it up as a new device or restore it to the last sync. That will reload it with anything you synced prior to this ordeal.
