Hi,
I was trying to recover data (notes, messages, address book and eventually camera roll) from an Iphone 3g (no jail break) stuck in recovery mode (reconnect cable to Itunes screen).
no sinc or backup since a couple of years (guess who is the slacky owner!)
before everything I tried to snap it out of recovery state with tiny umbrella or ireb or other tools. no avail.
then I moved to this procedure

to access the disk, save things out, and then try to recover fixing the rest.
It was going fine until after connecting to the phone and launching cyberduck I found the mnt2 empty.
back tracking I found that probably the problem is this one:
Checking /dev/disk0s2 ..
** /dev/rdisk0s2
Executing fsck_hfs (version diskdev_cmds-488.1.7~391).
** Checking non-journaled HFS Plus Volume.
** Detected a case-sensitive volume.
** Checking extents overflow file.
** Checking catalog file.
Keys out of order
(4, 1831)
** Rebuilding catalog B-tree.
** The volume Data could not be repaired.
Mounting /dev/disk0s2 on /mnt2 ..
mount_hfs: Invalid argument
this is an extract from the terminal log window, and looks like the corrupt catalog prevents me from mounting the relevant (with data) partition of the Iphone memory/support.
any suggestion? I believe I could try to dump the whole image of the disk, but can I do it without mounting it? checking forums I heard something about DD (unix program).
Has anyone ever done something similar? any forum explaining how to?
could this

be also a possibility? running fsck on the Iphone mnt2 partition? but how do I do that?
but I am not a real tech guy (took me 2 days to figure out and find the tools to access phone memory!) and not sure where to start.
thanks a lot in advance
