even if i reset it in a short amount of time, it may have even been 5 or 6 times not a 100% sure
also sorry i think ive posted this under the wrong thread, the phone I have done all these resets on is a samsung galaxy s6, is it possible to recover my photos and vids on there?
You need to take charge of that going cray, cray business.
You're right, this isn't the right sub-forum. Report your first post by clicking the exclamation point at the bottom of the post box. Ask that the thread be moved to the appropriate sub-forum.
Good luck.

Samsung huh? Wrong thread as said, but log into your google account from a PC and see if you have any data that was backed up for you. Google's sneaky..... You may find some stuff. Especially if you were using google photos .... Messages? They're gone for sure.
If you sync your data with either of the google account or samsung than only you will backup your data. here are few links useful to you http://www.galaxys5update.com/backup-restore-data-files-samsung-galaxy-s5/

after 8 factory resets and the device re-installing its software / firmware 8 times over itself and its data sectors - then sorry but no ....
Time to forget it and
In future use Google Photo's to back up your photos to your google account. It's free. Just use the experience as a lesson.

Than no ways but If it it's important to you than go for third party data recovery tools. We can't tolerate them but if it necessary it's your wish for trials i've known third party tool is http://www.jihosoft.com/recover-data/recover-data-after-factory-reset.html this You search for another tools also than take one best solution.
omg thanks so much, I got most of my pictures back, I cannot thank you enough!!!
Buddy....I think 1 or 2 resets should be sufficient. But, once you get started, why stop? It sounds like your on a role....go for 21 resets. I am sure whatever the problem is will be fixed at that point.
