Techopedia Explains Mobile Recovery

Mobile recovery can be both hardware and software/data/application based.

Some of the reasons mobile recovery is required are:

  • Data loss, deletion

  • Application corruption or inaccessibility

  • A dead or worn-out cell phone processor, RAM or storage device/component

Typically, a software or data-based recovery process is performed through automated data/mobile recovery software that can recover deleted files and restore some or all applications. The hardware issues are resolved by repairing or replacing faulty parts and components.
