USER REVIEWS AND COMMENTS

Theo

The Windows Recovery Tools seems to help devices rollback to their previous versions upon any changes made to the device. It works on LG, Lumia, and HTC models. However, a portion of changes made is made through the device being USB plugged into a computer to make changes. Not easy for beginners, but reading up on the steps will make it easier.

You can download the Windows Device Recovery Tool on your PC and use it to fix software problems on your phone. It'll install the latest version of Windows approved for your phone and remove everything else, including your apps, games, texts, call history, music, and photos. Before you use this tool, see if restarting or resetting your phone fixes the problem.

This tool is primarily used to fix software problems on your phone. It can be downloaded to your computer. You will need a USB cable, computer with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or 10, and at least 4 GB of free space on your computer.

All I needed was a USB cable connected to my PC to my phone to try to recover files.  I used Windows Device Recovery Tool for Windows.  It was a life saver.  I can restore my mobile phone backups to my other phone.  It was step by step.  I didn't feel lost or anything.  Thank goodness there's a way for recovery.  The download is free.

The Windows Device Recovery Tool is intended to help fix software problems that one may have on the phone. The tool will help recover one's phone by keeping the phone up to date on the latest version of Windows appropriate for the specific phone, and removing any other app and data on the phone. While it is very effective at fulfilling the intended purpose, it is quite extreme that the only way is by removing any other data on the phone.
