Hello, I see photorec supports iOS devices but it requires jail breaking according to the wiki/guide. I'm curious if it's possible without jail breaking by using dd to create an image. The device in question I have is running iOS 6.
Would it be possible to use dd to clone the iOS device into a .img file? (Is this safe? Does dd support iOS devices? Will it work? Should I shutdown the device or leave it on when doing the dd image?)
Since this is iOS 6 and the filesystem isn't encrypted due to the fact that this is pre-iOS 8.
Once cloned with dd, would it be possible to open & inspect with photorec?
Is this the proper route that wouldn't require jail breaking unlike what the photorec wiki states? Or do I HAVE to jailbreak?
Thanks!

Re: iOS 6 recovery that doesn't require jailbreaking?
AFAIK there is no way to clone the memory without jailbreaking the iPhone.
Re: iOS 6 recovery that doesn't require jailbreaking?
Hello thanks for the reply.
I'm getting mixed sources, some people are saying all I have to do is plug my iOS device into a computer and turn it off, then use DD to image it, they said since iOS 6 was pre-full disk encryption it would work. I would try it myself but I don't wanna risk screwing it up. Is there a reason dd wouldn't work to dump the disk?
Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply, I tried plugging the iDevice into a linux machine, and it wasn't even recognized in lsblk.
Seems as your right jailbreaking is required, thanks anyways.
