Iphone Pics Deleted Accidentally - Recovery App?

[CrankyCarrot]

I have an iPhone 3GS which I use in conjunction with Windows 7 on a netbook.

Normally I copy the pics off from the photo folder (labeled 808800 or something like that) and then delete them from there. Last night I accidentally deleted them prior to copying them off.

Can anyone suggest software that can recover the pics? They were 'permanently deleted', but I haven't synched the phone with iTunes or taken any more pics/added data or songs or anything that would have over-written the sectors with the jpg files on it.

I tried a couple of downloads through Google, but none of them worked.

Thanks

Try 'recova'

Put the phone in DFU mode. When iTunes see's the phone is in recovery restore from the last back up. May lose 1 or 2 but majority will be there

I should have also mentioned that the iPhone has been jailbroken. I think DFU mode might seriously mess with that.

Am guessing you don't have any knowledge on jailbreaking?? If you don't wanna upgrade your baseband you will need to restore with a custom ipsw. Once restored jailbreak it again and use iTunes to restore to your latest backup. What version software do you have on it now?

@adweb00 - my knowledge on JB stuff extends to having done it once a year and a half ago. I've got pretty old software/version of iTunes too: 4.0 (iTunes says 5.1 is out now).

I don't know if it's worth upgrading everything in terms of performance/bug fixes. The phone more or less does what I want it to now (including allowing use of foreign SIMs).

@SoloFlyer - I tried Recova, but it couldn't even detect my iPhone was attached

I'm about ready to throw in the towel on this, having tried about 4-5 different apps to no avail.

Thanks anyway all.

For a 3GS the older firmware is usually better anyways. If you let me know what software u are running now ill make u a custom IPSW that won't upgrade your baseband. U can then DFU mode and restore with latest backup which should recover most of what u have lost

@adweb00 - that's really cool of you to offer, but it's alright. I didn't lose anything extremely important - just a few snaps of things that amused me around Bangkok over a couple of days.

I've already started taking pics and copying data on/off it again and there's hardly any room left, so the old deleted info has probably been overwritten.

Glad to hear I'm not missing out by sticking with the old firmware.

No dramas bud offers always there that way ya baseband stays where it's at. I do a lot of hours every week with idevices and quite simply with a 3GS the best firmware is 4.3.3 The phone dosent have enough grunt to run ver 5 and the only real thing u miss out on is iMessage. But that can be replaced with whatsapp anyways. Same with the new 5.1 totally pointless there is no gains made so why bother with it
