Which Recovery Mode does PhoneRescue Support?

PhoneRescue provides three recovery modes for iOS device users: Recover from iOS Device, Recover from iTunes Backup, and Recover from the iCloud. Those modes are so stunning to get your lost data back. Actually, there is another mode separated from iOS device recovery. That is DFU Mode. It is a technical mode to retrieve data thoroughly with splendid features, but it doesn't support iPhone 7(plus)/iPhone 6s(Plus)/iPhone 6(plus)/5s/5c/5/4s, iPad 2, iPad Pro, iPad Mini 4, iPad Mini 3, iPad Mini 2, the new iPad, iPad 4, iPad Mini, iPad Mini with Restina Display, iPad Air 2, iPad Air, iPod touch 1/2, and iPod touch 5. In other words, if you are an owner of those iOS devices, you only allow to recover data with another three methods.

• Recover from iOS Device
• Recover from iTunes Backup
• Recover from the iCloud
• Recover with DFU Mode

Recover from the iCloud

iCloud backup recovery is another convenient recovery mode for you, especially when your device is not at hand, or no backups on your local computer. To use this recovery mode, please make sure that your data has been backed up via iCloud. Compared with Recover from iTunes Backup, the only difference is that it will be download firstly while scanning. You can also download the whole copy as backup(s) on your local computer.

Please make sure the Internet connection and the correction of your Apple ID and password.

Recover with DFU Mode

If you are an user of iPhone 4/3G/3GS, iPad, iPod touch 3, or iPod touch 4, DFU Mode could retrieve your previous data completely if the data hasn't been overwritten. In addition, it occupies less hard disk storage space of your computer and saves too much time for scanning device.
