subject: Recover Lost Data Directly From Ios Devices [print this page] This recovery mode allows you to scan your iOS devices directly to find data deleted recently, or data from your inaccessible device.
Step 1. Connect your iOS device to the computer
Connect your device to the computer with a digital cable and run the program, then youll get the interface below.
Step 2. Enter the DFU mode and scan your device
Follow steps below to enter the DFU mode and scan your device for lost data.
Hold your device and click Start button in the interface of Dr.Fone.
Hold Power and Home buttons on your device at the same time for exact 10 seconds. The Software will count time for you. Just hold the two buttons immediately after step 1.
When 10 seconds passed, release the Power button right away, but keep holding the Home button. After another 10 seconds, youll be informed that youve successfully entered the DFU mode and you can release the Home button now.
Then the software begins scanning your device automatically for lost data, and youll get the interface as follow.
Step 3. Preview and selectively recover data
When the scan finishes, all found data are displayed in categories, like camera roll, photo stream, photo library, contacts, messages, message attachments, call history, calendar, notes, reminders, voice memos and safari bookmark. You can preview full contents of all of them one by one.
If you want to recover all of them, mark them all and click Recover to save them on your computer with one click.
If you only want to recover deleted data, you can refine the scan result by sliding the button in the red area on the interface above, only displaying the deleted items. Mark them and press Recover button to get them back.
