Why Are Your Mobile Phone Data Possible to Be Recovered?

When we perform deletion operation at files, like photos, messages or contacts, on cellphones, our devices did not really delete them. In stead, the deletion command only removed the pointers to the files from the allocation table. In other words, the files get delisted, but not destroyed. The OS marks the memory space that the lost files ever occupied blank and available for use. The “deleted files” are still on our phones until new data overwrite them.

If you just deleted text messages due to misoperation, you’d better shut down your cellphone in case new receiving messages occupy the space of the deleted files. Likewise, you shouldn't use your mobile phone for video recording, movies or games which will produce considerable new data. However, on the other hand, we can use data overwriting to erase private data. Once you delete your private data on your device, you can erase them permanently by overwriting them with big enough new data, like plenty of movies.

It is recommended to seek help from technicians or professional software as soon as possible after data loss. Gihosoft Android Recovery is a powerful recovery tool for Android devices. With it, you can recover contacts,messages, call logs, photos, music, videos, documents, even WhatsApp messages and attachments, from internal memory or SD card at minimum damage.

How to restore Huawei Honor data from backup

Normally, Huawei Honor users should be asked to backup their data when they perform factory reset or system upgrade. However, when they want to restore the backed up data, it doesn't work. What's wrong? They might not go to the right place.

The backed up ZIP file is usually saved on SD card, but many users just can't restore it to their phone. Actually, it is very easy. Find a system app named "Backup" on your phone, which is usually on "Tools" folder at your phone desktop or somewhere else in your phone. This program will automatically scan backup files from your phone storage. You can choose the backup you want(if there are several backups) and start restore.

If users activate Huawei account and use Dbank, they can back up phone data to Dbank, an official cloud tool of Huawei. As long as they remember the account and password, they can access to the data and restore them to the phone.
