iPhone 4 data recovery

[mcginley50]

Upgraded my managers iPhone 4 from IOS4.1 to IOS6 and ran into a few problems. I have updated a number of iPhones to IOS6 and it's fairly straightforward but I'm after making a complete hash of this one. I did do this in a bit of a rush and did not verify the backup before I went ahead with the upgrade. To cut a long story short the phone has updated to IOS6 but has wiped all contents and will not restore. I had assumed there was a vaild backup taken but was mistaken and then found out that the user had never backed up the phone or synced it with Itunes since the initial setup. I think the only way to recover any data is by some data recovery method. Is this even possilbe? I think I can download any music purchased with iTunes store and contacts should be fine as it's linked to an Office 365 account but pictures and messages is the big one. If I could get them back I could save myself a lot of grief. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will never touch another iPhone again unless I am sure there are multiple valid backups available. Please help me!

I think iCloud was introduced in iOS5 so rule that one out. With no backup and no service on the phone setup to sync files to the internet you are stuffed I'm afraid matey

Had a feeling that would be the answer. Time to face the music! Cheers for the reply.
