@Joshualastyl Nope - your data remains untoched

I'm closing the comments for this video - the device has gone back to the provider and I have stopped the contract so I can't figure anything out for you anymore.

@Mraashish4008 Make sure your device is in idle mode as explained in the video otherwise it will not talk to your PC
