Long story short, last week my iphone 4 broke so I got a new one (same exact model). However, the cloud settings for some reason would not import meaning none of my contacts, apps etc could be transferred, so I basically had to start afresh. However, today I plugged my iphone into my laptop and was given the option to restore from backup or set up as new iphone. I chose to restore from backup and was able to restore my setting to the last time I updated which was in October. However, doing this restore seemed to "erase" everything I did on my phone I'd done since I got my new phone last week. Is there anything I can do to recover my imessages and photos from the time between the October update and today? Specifically since I got my new phone last week? thank you

If you overrode that data and did not back up since last week, no, there's not.
