[Q] Any way to interrupt factory reset or recover data? topic

Doh!


I started a factory reset on my phone, then realised I still had unsaved precious holiday photos on the device.

I removed the battery almost instantly after pressing the reset button, thus stopping the process. The mobile is connected to a PC by USB, but of course without the battery in place there is no way of viewing and transferring files on the phone. When the battery is replaced, the factory reset process continues where it left off - on the "deleting files" screen.

So-

1. Is there any way to stop or interrupt the factory reset process?

2. Is there any way to retrieve the photos/files whilst the reset is frozen with the battery removed?

3. If the files cannot be recovered by normal operation of the phone, can they be recovered by a specialist company from the deactivated phone?

Phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 Duos (dual-SIM) GT-i9300i
Android will be stock current version.

Thanks for any help!
