Frequently Asked Questions

Can I recover Android files without rooting my phone?

Yes. SafeRestore uses ADB backups, Google Photos trash, Samsung Cloud, and MTP file pulls — none of these require root access. Rooted recovery is sometimes deeper but voids your warranty; we recommend the no-root path first.

What if I already did a factory reset?

Recovery after a factory reset depends on whether you had a Google or Samsung Cloud backup. SafeRestore can pull from both. If you had no backup, recovery from internal storage after factory reset is possible only on rooted devices and success rates are low.

Does it work for Samsung phones specifically?

Yes — Samsung Galaxy is one of our most-tested platforms. SafeRestore reads Samsung Cloud backups, Smart Switch backups, and local SmsBackupRestore databases. Tested on S20 through S24 series and Note/Fold/Flip models.

Can I recover deleted WhatsApp messages?

Yes, if a backup exists. WhatsApp auto-backs-up to Google Drive on Android. SafeRestore reads the encrypted .crypt14/.crypt15 files locally and restores chats with media.

Will recovery erase what's currently on my phone?

No. SafeRestore reads from your phone in a non-destructive way — files are pulled out, never written back. Your existing photos, messages, and apps stay exactly as they are.

Does it work for SD cards inside the phone?

Yes. SafeRestore can scan an SD card either via USB while it's in the phone, or by removing the card and connecting it directly to your computer. Direct connection is faster and gives a deeper scan.
