Need help with rooting. Willing to pay.

Ok. So I stuffed up.

I would pay decent $$ to anyone who I can take this phone to that can help me fix it!!!!

Phone is a HTC one Max. I have not done the root conversion!!!

I accidently when not thinking started to delete ALL of my camera shot photos. I was quick and able to stop it. Thank god! So I lost a few but not all of them!

How can I get them back. Every program I try I need to root my phone! But every "how to" I find on how to root it tells me it will wipe the memory!

Please help. I am even happy to take it to someone in MELBOURNE and PAY for these photos to be reloaded in some way!! They are extremely important!

I should also mention. I have no SD card. So its on the phones internal memory.


Thankyou!
 
Since you are soliciting general help from anyone who can assist you with rooting (your only option at this point), i have moved your thread to the lounge.
 
Try getting them back with your Google plus account and or a backup app. Also you can use the app gcloud to back up all your phone's data to a mobile cloud and when your phone is completely rooted and factory reset just get the app again and download your backup.

but then when I put everything back from the app after a root. it wont have the deleted photos... I wouldn't think the app would bring them with it. only the non deleted ones?
 
I think what 4KTECH is trying to say is that your photos may already be backed up to your Google account. On newer versions of Android, sync'ing your apps and data ... including images ... is turned on by default, so unless you turned it off, if you log into your Google+ account in chrome and go to photos, you might find the images missing from your phone.

As to the rooting issue, if you need to unlock your bootloader to root, then it will wipe all data from the phone. Sorry, that's by design as a security measure.
 
If you use gcloud your data will be saved regardless of the reset because it's on a cloud. And thanks for clarifying what I was saying 😁
