A little while ago we received the following question in our iPhone help / support section….
A reader asked us how he could restore data from his water-damaged iPhone 3G.
After looking into the problem we came up with the perfect solution for owners of iPhone 2G / iPhone 3G / iPhone 3GS devices.
If you have a damaged / broken iPhone and you’d like to get your data out of it it, such as SMS’es, contacts, photos and more, all you need to have is a recent iTunes backup of your phone.
Then you simply run the program Reincubate on your iPhone’s iTunes backup file, and extract the data out of it.
Afterwards you will be able to restore your files by various ways, whether it’s importing your contacts into your Outlook program and syncing it to your iPhone, or simply re-uploading the lost images.
To download the free version of Reincubate backup extractor for iPhone proceed to http://www.reincubate.com .
It’s available for Windows, Mac and Linux powered computers.
