Lost pictures after iOS failure (no backup)
I am devastated.
After replacing a faulty screen for my iPhone 6 Plus, I attempted to update to the newest iOS 10.3.2 (or something) and my phone just CRASHED. After the "verifying" stage it turned off and never turned back on again. Hard reset was prompting me to restore using iTunes.
After "restore" did NOT work, DFU mode did NOT work (for data recovery), iTunes forced me to fully factory reset.
I had to factory reset THREE TIMES until I got the phone to turn on. Needless to say that all my data is gone.
I had NO backup of my camera roll whatsoever. I had a day-before iCloud device backup, without pictures though.
Question to you, did anybody EVER managed to recover deleted data after factory reset directly from iPhone?
I just tried dr.fone software which found some data, but did NOT found the pictures I was looking for. Do you think I have a chance?
Questa è una buona domanda?

Unfortunately, you have lost your data, any 3rd party programs will not be able to recover any lost files you are looking to recover, apple encrypt all your files with encryption keys, and all of those encryption keys are not available to anyone, not even these pseudo 3rd party recovery tools.
however, if you are willing to pay the price, there are legitimate professional services that can, recover your data, but of course typically at a hefty price.
here are a few; Ontrack. DataSavers. Gillware.
from my research, DataSavers are probably your best guaranteed bet, as they've been around since 85' and have an amazing track record.

Just a quick note and update to my previous answer so that I can address @phexism comment. First of all, in this particular case, with 3 factory resets, there is NO POSSIBILITY of recovering this data on a modern iPhone with encryption. The data is scrambled, the encryption keys are lost! No company has ever proven or established that it can be done.
Secondly, when dealing with iPhone data recovery, places like Ontrack, DataSavers, Gillware are certainly not the first choices I would select as they specialize more in hard disks. Generally speaking, they tend to charge outrageous amounts of money for iPhone recoveries while offering nothing more (and often times, much less) than your experienced smartphone microsoldering tech. There are so many great techs like Jessa & Mark, Ben, Jason, @rany and countless others (including myself ;-) who freely share their discoveries with the world and who charge fair fees to recover priceless data.

Hello Eytan, data recovery after a factory reset is not possible.
