How To Recover Deleted Photos After Spirit Jailbreak

The first release of Spirit had a bug that accidently could delete all of your photos from the device that was jailbroken. If you have a backup which you made before jailbreaking your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad, here is a quick guide how to recover deleted photos.

1. Open Cydia and search for "OpenSSH" and then install it. Reboot your device.

2. Download and then install iPhone Backup Extractor.

• Windows 32-bit version
• Windows 64-bit version
• Mac OS X version

3. Run iPhone BackUp Extractor. Select your last backup (that was made before jailbreak)

4. Navigate to Media/Media and select DCIM folder. Click "Next" and program will save the files locally.

5. Download and then istall WinSCP for Windows or Cyberduck for Mac . Open it and enter the following data to login to your device.

WinSCP for Windows

• Hostname: The IP address of your device. (Settings –> WiFi –> <Your Network Name>)
• Protocol: SCP
• User name: root
• Password: alpine

Cyberduck for Mac OS X

• Server: The IP address of your device. (Settings –> WiFi –> <Your Network Name>)
• Protocol: SFTP
• Username: root
• Password: alpine

6. Go to /User/Media directory and then copy over the DCIM folder.

7. Reboot your device.

After that you'll have all your backuped photos back.
