Hello..i tried the trial version of your product.
It failed to recover or read for that matter my s9 plus after it was mistakenly set to factory reset mode. It fails after trying to root the device.
I looked at other rooting software. But during the installation process it want to wipe the phone first which seems like that the opposite of what i want to do…
I had videos and pics and conversations i wanted to keep.
Is this a lost cause just asking.
Thank you.

Hi, I am interested in your software to recover data from my damaged s9+, the screen is cracked and black so I am unable to enable the USB debugging, infact I can’t do nothing that require the use of the screen. Will the software still achieve recovery or not? Many thanks
I am afraid not. I will have a test and keep you posted. Also, you can have a trial as well.
Hi Scott, I disabled the USB debugging and it still connects the phone. Would you like to have a try?

Hi Scott, I had tested with Galaxy S9 and it worked. So, you mean it connects your phone? If you can upload an image to Imgur, I can better understand what is happening.
Hi Hank,
I have opened the link you sent me and connected the phone following the instructions here on the site. Clicked on the black screen option on the recovery page. on the following screen where i am asked to select my device type from the list, my phone is not shown. Also if i click the device not listed tab and enter the details of my device when I press OK nothing happens? I am forced to close the window with no details being sent/submitted.? I hope this helps without the picture. Thanks

Hello, I have a problem with my s9 and I think this is the only place that can offer me a sulution. I was happy using my fingerprint to unlock my phone and when the battery died I realized that I forgot my unlock pattern.I saw some interesting stuff here about some recovery patch and such where I can factory reset my device without losing my precious data. Does the software supports galaxy s9? I’m really willing to pay good money to get my data back. Thank you very much in advance.
YES!
Awesome! Could you please send me a link for the software I need to buy and, if possible, a video tutorial explaining how it works? Thank you very much!
Sure. There’s the download and buy link:

And the tutorial:
https://drfone.wondershare.com/guide/android-data-recovery.html
Thank you very much for the fast answer. When I download, should I go for the unlock tool or the recovery one? If I choose the recovery one, should I hard reset my device first then recover my data? Sorry for all those questions, I really can’t mess that up. My phone isn’t rooted by the way.
Sorry for the late concern. Although it says no data loss to remove the lock screen, I always recommend you to recover the data first IF YOU ARE ABLE TO DO SO. If not, then unlock first. Never reset the device.
Hey man, thanks again. I’ve bought the software but there’s no support for Galaxy S9. What should I do to make it work? Thank you!
Do you mean Unlock or Recover? If you are not satisfied, you can contact Wondershare for a refund.

After connection it recognises me as a samsung, takes me to page where Debugging instructions are show a S8/S8+, on the following screeen where i am asked to select device mine is not listed so cannot progress further? cheers
Unfortunately I don’t think this will work with my device😞
hello, I have a s9 galaxy…forgot the password and cant turn the phone fully off…how do and can I unlock my s9 with your unlock feature without turning off my phone or knowing the password?
NO, you have to turn off the phone to the recovery mode.
Hi, I have a Samsung s9 (android version 9.0). 2 days ago my phone blacked out with an error ‘Device storage corrupted’, data partition corrupted prompting me to factory reset the phone. I tried to wipe cachet and run it on safe mode but none of that worked. Eventually i had to reset my phone. After that, my photos saved to device (not synced to Google photos) are all gone. Is there anyway to recover my data with your software? Does it require rooting my phone?
Many Thanks
Hui
This post is right for you. Have a trial first to see how it works for you.
Do i need to root my galaxy s9plus before or the software will do the necessary for me?
No you don’t have to.
Hi
I tried the data recovery twice now, with the same failure about I need to root the phone before it can work…? your step-by-step guide and comments here says i don’t have to root.
It stops the “analysing device” at about 90% and then goes to “trying the alternate method” and a fail pops up, What do?
(Galaxy S9)
Thanks in advance – Aabo

My ex did a remote factory reset on my galaxy s9 active and i did not have it backed up. What can I do to recover all photos and documents that were not backed up. Lots of precious irreplacable memories need them back. Please help!!
Did you try Dr.fone?
I purchased Dr Fone to recover deleted photos from my S9. When I run the recover option it advises that the phone is not rooted and it can only detect files not yet deleted. I need the files that are not deleted. I need the files that are deleted.
Internet searches leads me to believe a US Verizon S9 can’t be rooted. Any suggestions?
Hi Jenny,
I am sorry to hear that. I tried Google and it seems it is hard to root US Verizon S9.
But, would you like to contact Wondershare for more help?

Hello Guys. I just try the older version of Dr.Fone 10.7.1 provided by Mr.Hunk! for Samsung S9.
In this older version of Dr.Fone is the button “Root” visible and i can click on it and the root process has started, followed with restarting my Samsung S9 phone. I wait and tell you the outcome if it is rooted successfully. :)
Outcome:
After my phone S9 rebooted a few times it provides the message: Galaxy S9 is not supported.” Bassically Dr.Fone cant root S9 phones for now. Is there a patch for this? Thanks for the fast response.
