Answered by Jarrod Smith

There is a way to recover photos after a factory reset without a backup. One of the most effective methods is to use a professional data recovery software like PhoneRescue for Android.

To start the recovery process, you need to download and install PhoneRescue for Android on your computer. Once installed, launch the program and connect your Android phone to the computer using a USB cable.

Next, you will need to enable USB debugging on your Android device. The steps to do this may vary depending on the Android version and device model, but generally, you can go to “Settings” > “About phone” > tap on “Build number” several times until you see a message saying “Developer mode has been turned on.” Then, go back to “Settings” > “Developer options” > enable “USB debugging.”

Once your device is detected by PhoneRescue for Android, you can choose the types of data you want to recover. In this case, select “Photos” only if you just need to recover photos. After selecting the desired data type, click on the “Next” button.

PhoneRescue for Android will then start scanning your device for the selected data type. The scanning process may take some time depending on the amount of data on your device.

Once the scan is complete, you will be able to preview the recoverable photos. PhoneRescue for Android provides a thumbnail view of the photos, making it easy to select the ones you want to recover. You can also use the search bar or filter options to find specific photos.

After selecting the photos you want to recover, click on the “Recover” button. PhoneRescue for Android will prompt you to choose a location on your computer to save the recovered photos. Make sure to choose a different location than the original one to avoid overwriting any existing data.

Once the recovery process is complete, you can navigate to the selected location on your computer and access the recovered photos.

It is important to note that the success of photo recovery after a factory reset without a backup depends on various factors such as the duration since the factory reset, the amount of data overwritten, and the condition of your device. Therefore, it is recommended to perform the recovery process as soon as possible after the factory reset to maximize the chances of successful recovery.

PhoneRescue for Android is a reliable and effective tool that can help you recover photos after a factory reset without a backup. However, it is always recommended to regularly backup your important data to avoid any data loss situations.
