Not better. The best/

But if you want to retrieve the lost data, you have to do a factory reset, but if you do that, the chances of recovery are low.

❯ Some portable devices, like mobile phones, smart watches, MP3 players, etc. store their data in the internal memory rather than removable memory cards. When such a storage is connected to the computer, only a virtual representation of its file system can be opened via Media Transfer Protocol. Meanwhile, the real file system is blocked for access by the manufacturer for security purposes. Low-level access to such a storage may be possible in some cases with Superuser permissions (for example, on Android phones), but rooting a device is not recommended – it may lead to a series of undesired consequences. In the remaining cases, SysDev Laboratories recommends UFS Explorer and Recovery Explorer as effective software solutions for users who need to restore files lost from external drives formatted with FAT/exFAT or other file systems utilized in any operating system environment: Windows, macOS, Linux or Unix/BSD. The software will thoroughly analyze the storage and offer you to copy the found files, while the data source and its structure won't be affected in any way. To regain the files missing from a removable drive with the help of UFS Explorer Standard Recovery, perform the following steps:

I have not factory reset my mobile

Please let me know if there is any way to recover my lost files

Do you have Root privileges at you smartphone?

No

Try to get Root and make a full image of internal memory via terminal. After this try to scan image using UFS or other data recovery software

For access Root privileges I have unlock bootloader right, bootloader unlock process will wipes partition data

After that how I can recover those files?

Getting Root procedure is different for different smartphones. If on you model user partition will be erased - this way is not suitable

Yes

I'm trying to unlock bootloader without wipe the data

But there is no way to unlock or root without losing data

That's my query

Много букв. И совершенно напрасно. Пусть меня считают сексистом, но по моему мнению женщинам не место в IT. За ссылку спасибо, но мой вопрос был не в этом. Мне была нужна предыдущая версия софта. Вы уж совсем то идиота из меня не делайте, если бы я идиотом был, не смог бы защитить две диссертации и написать три сотни научных работ.

"Мне была нужна предыдущая версия софта" – на представленных Интернет ресурсах представлены версии REP c 12 ноября 2018 г. (версия 7.0) и UFS с 8 августа 2016 г. (версия 6.7.1). Видимо Вам эти версии не подходят и нужны более ранние. У меня, как у криминалиста, есть более ранние версии, которых нет на сайте и, возможно, я могла бы попытаться Вам помочь, если только бы Вы, как заинтересант, более точно указали бы идентификаторы "предыдущих версий".
