Hi,
so long story short, I had to get my 6+ replaced at Apple yesterday. They wanted me to setup the phone as 'new' so that they could eliminate any 'software related issues'

In doing so, I could not restore from iCloud.

I had tons of photos (3k+) and lots of messages that I wanted to keep in tact. I tried to restore my phone from backup today and it said that my backup was corrupt/not compatible with my new phone.

I tried resetting to factory and restoring from my iTunes back up again, but same error message comes up. The iCloud backup is now one of my current 'new' phone with no data on it.

I want to try and get my photos, messages, and notes back onto my new phone if possible. Is there any 3rd party software that lets me do so? I tried iExplorer and while it lets me browse it all and extract the data to my computer, I do not believe that it lets me transfer it back to my iPhone.

I tried using iBackup Extractor in Demo mode but it only lets you copy over 50 things. I would gladly pay the money for it, but whenever I go to photos, it gets stuck on 'looking for images' and then the application stops responding. I can see my messages but since the thread is too long I suppose I can't get that over yet.

What kind of options do I have left?
