Recover Deleted Photos from iPhone / iPad After Spirit Jailbreak


The initial release of Spirit had this bug, which accidently deleted all photos from the iDevice which you used to jailbreak with it. If you were wise enough to make a backup before jailbreaking your device, you can now recover it using iPhone Backup Extractor.
Follow the step by step guide posted below to recover your deleted photos from iPhone, iPad or iPod touch after jailbreaking it with Spirit.
Step 1: Install OpenSSH on your device. Instructions for installing OpenSSH on iPad can be found here, and for iPhone/iPod touch can be found here.
Step 2: Download and install iPhone Backup Extractor.
(Download links: Windows 32-bit64-bit – Mac OS X)
Step 3: Run iPhone Backup Extractor and select the last backup which you made before jailbreaking your device using Spirit.
Step 4: Navigate to Media/Media/DCIM and select this folder. Click ‘Next’ to save the files locally on your hard drive.
