Had a client come in today with an iPhone that powers on and boots to the lock screen, but the second she types her passcode, a spinning wheel shows up, then the phone restarts.
No icloud backup. All photos are local. She’s coming back tomorrow, and I’m supposed to try a data recovery, but honestly, I’ve never done one on iphone before. Any chance it’s possible?
Yup. Once you factory reset an iPhone with no backups, and no syncs ..it’s game over. Even forensic labs wouldn’t get much unless they had direct access to iOS firmware (which they don’t).
I’m having trouble reinstalling Windows 10 on my PC and could use some guidance.

Great Liora,
thanks for giving me insight on this video file corruption case.
Lizz, Everybody asked what we should do but you asked a very good and valid question, “What should not be done?” So you must not overwrite the storage device on which you have a corrupted file. Do not use any un reputed free software. And the most important thing is do not open(physically) your storage device.
What should not be done in case of a corrupted video file?
In this case recovery is a bit tough but still there are chances if you have a good condition video sample from the same storage device and the same sitting, in that case we can try a specialized service.
Okay, now I understand what I can do to make it play, but what if the file is badly damaged?
In most of the cases, yes, we can recover a corrupted video file, but it largely depends on the level of corruption. Try a few of my suggestions, which I personally use whenever I face any such situation.
1. Try to play the corrupted media in the latest media playing software i.e. VLC media player comes with built-in-repair features for AVI files.
2. Second is to use a video repair software that will scan your damaged file and try to rebuild it.
Sounds like a boot loop triggered post authentication. Seen it once after a corrupt update. Data recovery might be possible if the system isn’t totally wrecked.
