Q: Can I install and launch this program on my Android device directly?: A: Sorry, this program is a computer-based program, which means you have to download and run it on your computer (Mac or Windows PC).

Q: What are the system requirements for this program?: A: Windows: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows 2000, Windows XP (64 & 32 bits)

Root Problems

Q: How can I know if my device has been rooted?: A: You can check your device with “Root Checker” app to see whether it has been rooted or not:
http://root-checker.en.uptodown.com/android
If it isn’t rooted successfully, please root your device again.

Q: Can I get my device back to unrooted state after the recovery?: A: Yes, you can unroot your phone after the recovery using some unroot apps to remove root. More details:

Connection

Q: Why my Android device can't be detected by the program?: A: First of all, please install the right USB driver for your Android on your computer and enable USB debugging on your device. Then, if there is a message box popping up on your phone screen to ask whether to allow USB debugging when running the program, click "OK" to always allow USB debugging on your phone. If the problem still exists, check if it is caused by broken USB cable or PC port. To check this, please change another USB cable or computer to have a try.

Q: How to install correct driver for my Android device?: A: When connecting your device to the program, if there's no driver detected, there will be a pop-up prompt which will remind you to install the driver first. Click "Install". If the driver has been installed successfully but it still can’t be detected, please check whether the driver is disabled under "Device Manager". You can find the driver in Computer>Properties>Device Manager>Potable Device>Android Phone. Right click the certain node and check whether it is disabled. If it is, click "Enable" and the device will be connected to the computer successfully.

If there is no prompt to remind you, you can find the corresponding drivers from the official website of the phone manufactures. For example:

Q: How to enable USB debugging on my Android device?: A: You can refer to this tutorial:
http://www.jihosoft.com/android-recovery/how-to-enable-usb-debugging.html
If the USB debugging option is grey out on your phone, you might try to revoke USB debugging and then reenable USB debugging again.

Q: Is it necessary for me to authorize my computer?: A: Yes, because Android devices need to be authorized when being connected to computer. Please click “OK” to give authorization to your computer. If the prompt box disappears due to other operations, please disconnect your device from your computer and then try to connect it again.

Not Work

Q: What to do if the program freezes or stops working?: A: Please turn off the program and reopen it to see if it works. If it doesn’t work or you can’t turn off the program successfully, reboot your computer, uninstall and reinstall this problem and then launch it again.

Q: Why can’t I find any data in any of the category for me to recover after the scanning?: A: Please make sure your device is rooted and connected to your computer all the time when running the software. You can check your device with “Root Checker” app to see whether it has been rooted or not:
http://root-checker.en.uptodown.com/android

If it isn’t rooted successfully, please root your device again. After that, you can turn off the software, unplug your device and then try it again step by step.
Sometimes, it may be caused by multiple operations at one time in running different programs. Please turn off all the programs and then reopen our program to see if it works. If it still doesn’t work, please uninstall and install our program again and then launch it.

Q: I have already rooted my phone, but I still cannot find my lost files. Why is that?: A: It is mainly because you continue to use your device after data loss. Once that happens, the lost/deleted data on your device are likely to be overwritten by new data you created, which will decrease or even make you lose the chance to recover what you want.
