iMore Question
Hello everyone.
I have an iPhone 4, jailbroken on 5.1.1 version (yes i know it's a little outdated)
Everything was fine. I opened iFile and a message appeared that said "iFile is now shareware,
if you like it please register" or something like that.
I tried to go into folders that should exist (private/var/mobile/library) but the folders were not there.
I did a respring with hope problem will be fixed, but instead everything became worse.
The start guide appeared (the screens that you see when you first activate your phone).
I had to choose my country, my wifi connection etc.
When i finished, i had a phone with NO appstore apps (everything disappeared) and no files at all.
Camera roll, messages, notes, contacts all EMPTY.
Recent calls were still there, but without names, only numbers.
Also, all Cydia apps were also there.
The weird thing is, when i check the available capacity on the settings, it's still the same.
I only have ~300 mb left.
If all apps and files were deleted, i would have at least 20-25GB free.
So, i believe files and apps are still there, but somehow hidden.
I tried to access my files through iFunbox and WinSCP.
Unfortunately, folders like DCIM appear empty.
I believe the phone thinks it was restored, and that's why it doesn't show anything.
My question is: is there ANY way i can save my files?
At least my photos (i had about 1.400)
Before you suggest iTunes backups, iCloud etc., i'll have to tell you i didn't sync with my pc,
and iCloud was full a long time ago (it has 5GB limit) so it hasn't been updated for a while.
I'm not trying to fix it like it was before. I know i can't and i will have to do restore.
The only thing i'm asking is if there is any way to be able to get my photos before i do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the very long message.
