I have a jailbroken 4s, iOS 8.3, and since I jailbroke have not backed it up. This time, I also haven't plugged it in to the computer since I jailbroke either, so the daemon a2fdc i think it is was not installed. I recently deleted a file in iFile. My phone died of low battery, and when i turned it back on it would only show the apple logo. It is not a normal boot loop because it doesn't shut off, it just stays on. I can get into recovery and dfu modes, but I can't use any file explorer (that i've tried like iExplorer, iFunbox) and i've tried about a dozen data recovery softwares, but they can't recognize my phone. those that do are free trials, and don't recover any data. I need to either save my data or access the files because I know right where the deleted one is and where it should go. If possible, i would REALLY prefer to avoid restoring my phone. I know there has to be some way to recover data before i restore. I could run programs on either mac or pc. Thank you in advance, I appreciate any and all help.
