You should understand why that happened so that doesn't repeat. The only way I can think that something like that could happen, without someone purposely resetting the iPhone, is due to some rare hardware fault. If that's it, then it might do it again.


If you had Settings>Apple ID>iCloud Backup turned on, then you may be able to recover data from the last 30 days or so. You should look here:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support 

“Restore” is what you do when you buy a new phone, so this safety, if you have it set, requires you to erase everything on your phone and replace it with the backup.


If you used iCloud Photos, then the backup won't include your pictures-- they should be in Photos at iCloud.com
