Recover data after a factory reset on Android through 4 ways

1. Recover from a Local Backup

Android has a dedicated “Backup & Restore” feature that you can use to instantly restore data from your local backup if you have created a local backup on your smartphone before performing the factory reset.
Step 1: Go to “Settings” and scroll down to click “Backup & Restore”.
Step 2: Now, if you are yet to perform the factory reset, you can enable “Automatic Backup” and configure the settings to back up your files.
Step 3: Once the factory reset completes, head back to “Backup & Restore” and select “Restore” this time. Then go ahead and choose the backup files and all your data will be retrieved within a few minutes.

2. Recover Data from Google Account

All you have to do is configure your Google Drive app for automatic backups and recover them while setting up your phone after the factory reset.
Step 1: First to backup your data to a Google Account, navigate to “Settings”, “Google”. Then click the “Backup” option and enable “Backup to Google Drive”.
Step 2: Once your data is successfully backed up to Google Drive, go ahead, and perform a factory reset.
Step 3: After the device is reset, your device will automatically fetch all Google Drive backups when you set up your device. Simply choose the right backup and click “Restore” to recover all your files.

3. Recover Data After Factory Reset Android from SD Card Without Root

If you have accidentally performed the factory reset and don’t have any backup to retrieve the lost data, you can use professional data recovery tool such as Wondershare Recoverit.
If you’ve also ended up formatting the SD card while performing a factory reset, simply install Wondershare Recoverit on your PC and follow these steps to get back your files.

Note: Recoverit Data Recovery tool allows you to recover data after factory resetting your android. To do so, you will be required to connect your SD card to Windows, or Mac system. Recoverit cannot recover data from Android phone without the SD card.
Finally, the final method to recover deleted files on Android is to use Android Data Recovery tools.

4. Performing Android Data Recovery after Factory Reset Directly with Android Data Recovery Tools

Note: Using the Android data recovery tool can directly recover lost data from Android phones, but you need to root your Android device in advance.

So, method 1: Back up your data before you do the factory reset and restore it after the factory reset. Method 2: Back up your data before you do the factory reset and restore it after the factory reset. 3. Back up your data to an SD card before you do the factory reset and restore it from the SD card after the factory reset. If you accidentally format the SD card, use data recovery software to recover the SD card. 4. If you don't have any backup, use an android recovery tool, but it might require rooting the phone. We won't be telling you how to do that, though, you'll have to use Google. We recommend our software. Okay. Methods 1 and 2 aren't about recovering data, they're restoring from a backup. Method 3 is about restoring from a backup or recovering data from a formatted SD card. So, none of those first three are about how to recover data lost from a factory reset. Method 4, the first part is a teaser (this is supposed to be a "how-to" video, you said so in the title) and part 2 of #4 is "try our software." Unlikely that data recovery can rebuild data that has been shredded by the factory reset process, because that process is designed so that the data can't be recovered by any means, the reason being that most users do a factory reset and sell their phone. Whoever buys it could simply use recovery software to get all of the previous owner's private data and steal their identity, stalk them, destroy their business or blackmail them. I would say the title of this video is a lie. In fact, since you never explained how to recover any data from a factory reset, the good reviews are most likely lies also.

Hi, I've got a specific question regarding photos on the Samsung gallery.(on an S8)
Last night, I put a new sim card in my phone and then took it out since my father said that I needed to get it set up before I put it in. This was done while the android symbol was being shown, and it booted up with everything gone. I used the first method to get everything back in place, but all the photos taken in the past 2 years were wiped.
Now I had my gallery set up to a one drive, but it filled up rather quickly and I didn't want to pay for extra space, so I just let it be. This was 2 years ago. All the photos that had been on my phone at the time I did this process loaded back up, but I'm franticly trying to get the others back since I had photos that I need to graduate at the end of this year in the lost gallery.
Hope you can help.
Luke

Please help me, my old moto g3 can not start android OS (after i messed up the google app installation, because im dumb) i can only get to start the setup by a combination of buttons. The problem is i want to recover some files BEFORE doing the factory reset but i dont know how. I tried "Apply update from sd card" but i think it dont recognise the sd card because only shows files from the internal storage. I dont know what to do at this point. any help is welcome

Hi I had to do factory data reset since the data got corrupted but I had some saved photos under google photos locked folder. Is there anyway to restore them?

[tylerthurston]

Does it work if you tried to back up your phone, and then after the reset you restored that backup only to realize it didn't have any photos saved? Or would it not work since new data has been added to the phone?
