#IBACKUPBOT IMPORT PHOTOS FREE#
It’s free and doesn’t even require Jail breaking to use. The iPhone Backup Extractor surprisingly has it all. It can also be done very easily per app.Let me introduce you to the iPhone Backup Extractor! You may want to remove it after you're done as it allows anyone to access your iphone's content if he has the device without needing any passcode.ĮDIT2: thank you for the upvotes :) i've never had so many on a post :p do let me know if you guys need the steps to restore the data of specific apps which dont use iCloud to backup appdata and app settings.
#IBACKUPBOT IMPORT PHOTOS INSTALL#
Install Apple File Conduit 2 by saurik from Cydia.
Note: iFunbox only works if you have USB access. See this: įinally reboot your iPhone and open the Messages app and you'll find all your SMS and iMessages back :) After that scroll upwards and turn on the option of Apply hierarchically and click Done on the top right. Make sure the Ownership of both the Owner and Group is set to Mobile. This open the attributes of the SMS folder. Open iFile on your device and navigate to /var/mobile/Library and click on the (i) icon on the SMS folder. For restoring them, follow these steps:Īfter restoring, copy back the contents of /var/mobile/Library/SMS, overwriting any files/folders which are already there. Just copy all the files and sub-folders in the SMS folder for backup. The location for SMS folder is /var/mobile/Library/SMS. I have always found a fresh restore to be better and smoother, although i may be wrong.ĮDIT: I am adding the steps needed to backup and restore SMS/iMessages also :) This along with contacts backed up in iCloud, SMS/iMessage backup (also locally like the camera roll) and some preference files (/var/mobile/Library/Preferences), I dont think there's a need to restore an iTunes backup or even complete iCloud backups as they always tend to leave less free space. It could take a while to build your library of photos back but all appears as it was before (in exact order) in a few mintues :)
not doing so will result in a situation where you will get your camera roll back upon reboot but new photos taken from the camera app will not appear in the Photos app.Īfter that go back to /var/mobile/Media and delete a folder name PhotoData there. EDIT: Make sure to click on the (i) icon of the DCIM folder and set its Ownership of both the Owner and Group to mobile from root and apply it hierarchically. Dunno wether they can be SSHed into or accessed without being jailbroken.Īfter that for restoring, navigate to /var/mobile/Media/DCIM on your freshly restored device and paste back all the folders there which you copied earlier. (using iFunBox or similar software).Īfter a clean restore, jailbreak you iPhone (this is needed to get access to system directories like /var/mobile/Media/DCIM). So finally i figured it out (actually it was while the dev of PhotoOrganizer7 was guiding me to fix some issues in his tweak).īefore restoring, navigate to /var/mobile/Media/DCIM and copy all the folders there to your computer usually named like 100APPLE, 101APPLE etc. Even iFile can import photos in the Camera Roll but only one at a time :| While tweaks like PhotoOrganizer7 have been very helpful in restoring Camera Roll and organizing old photos in folders, it requires tweaks to be purchased and other hassles. (i dont take backup of my photos to iCloud because i dont use features like Photo Stream and i constantly take pictures of assignments and delete them, so i dont want to waste bandwidth in uploading those photos to iCloud only to be deleted after few days. So, one of my main pain points after a clean restore of my iPhone has been getting the Camera Roll exactly as it as without needing to restore an iTunes backup.
