Cell Phone Data Recovery

We can recover data from the most damaged cell phone’s. Did you drop your phone in the lake, and dive down to retrieve the phone? Did your phone get ran over on the highway? Was your phone dropped in a toilet full of… These are just a few of the many stories we have heard from our customers, and data recoveries we have completed. We do not just replace the charging port and battery and tell you the phone is not recoverable. We inspect the phone down to the board level and figure out how to get your phone to boot to get a lovely iTunes, or android backup. As long as the few main components on the phone are working, such as the CPU and the Flash storage, we can recover your data 100% of the time. 

We can recover everything that resides within your phone which includes photos, videos, text messages (full conversations), contacts, voicemails, call logs, location data, application data, etc. 

Cell Phone Data Recovery
(CPU Swaps)

Sometimes a cell phone’s motherboard is just way too damaged to fix. This can happen from being in the ocean for hours or becoming physically cracked from impact. In this case, we can still get the phone to fully boot to recover your data, but it only works if the 2 main components of the phone are still intact (the CPU and the Flash storage chip). 

On newer phones, the CPU encrypts all of your data that is stored on the flash storage chip. So if either of these components are cracked/damaged there is no way to recover any data. 

But if they are working, we can swap the CPU/Flash storage chip to another working donor motherboard, and we can get the phone to boot to make a backup as seen in the video.

Cell Phone CPU Repair

All iPhones and all Androids past Android 7.0 need the CPU to be working to recover any data. We cannot just read the data from the storage as it is encrypted. 

The CPU must talk to the logic eeprom on the motherboard to obtain the keys to decrypt your data. In other words, we need to get your phone to power on to recover any data — It is the only way. 

Sometimes the CPU can become damaged from a hard drop, or another tech removing it without proper technique. This will cause the pads under the CPU to rip off the chip. These pads need to be fixed before installing it back onto a new motherboard. 

We specialize in CPU repair and can fix the tiny traces on the CPU itself. Jobs like this can take several hours depending on how many traces we need to fix. Check out the picture of this CPU, this Job took about 10 hours. 

Hard Drive Data Recovery

We provide in-house hard drive data recovery. We have a class 5 clean room and a PC-3000 from Ace Labs to recover even the most failed hard drives. The most common failure in a hard drive is when the hard drive heads fail. The heads in the hard drive read and write your data from the hard drive’s platters. When they fail they must be replaced in a dust-free environment, and the data must be extracted with a tool like the PC-3000. There are only a handful of companies in New Jersey that have this equipment. 

There are four main causes of hard drive failure:

  1. Bad sectors: Over time hard drives degrade and cause bad sectors. Bad sectors are sections of the hard drive that can no longer be read. This can cause the drive to freeze and become inaccessible. 
  2. Firmware Issues: Hard drives contain a service area that holds important firmware for the hard drive to function and read correctly. If this firmware becomes corrupted, you will lose access to your data. 
  3. Damaged PCB: When you plug your hard drive into your computer, the first thing it interacts with is the motherboard. If this motherboard is damaged in any way, obviously your drive will not work. 
  4. Crashed heads: This is the most severe hard drive failure. When heads crash you will hear a clicking sound. In this case, the HSA (Head Stack Assembly) will need to be replaced within your hard drive. The HSA reads the data from the platters. 

Hard Drives With Damaged Platters or Contamination

If your hard drive has been opened outside of a dust-free environment, it will need to be decontaminated. We can remove the platters from the drive and clean any contamination. 

Sometimes when the reading heads crash in your hard drive, they will scratch the platters. It is still possible to recover data from hard drives with damaged platters, but it will only be a partial recovery. We can inspect for platter damage, and treat the drive accordingly to recover as much data as possible. 

Regular Data Recovery Software vs Ace Lab’s Data Recovery Tools

Software that you can buy online is not powerful enough to retrieve data from failing hard drives, and can damage your hard drive beyond recovery. This is because regular data recovery software that you run through windows will get “stuck” on bad sectors while recovering, and can take days to progress. Having regular software continuously try to read from bad sectors on your drive will eventually damage the platters. 

This is where our Ace Labs, and Deep Spar data recovery tools come into play. These external tools allow us to stabilize the hard drive, and skip any bad sectors to recover as much data as quickly and safely as possible. We can then go back and recover any sectors that we skipped once we have recovered the bulk of your data. Contact our Middletown New Jersey data recovery facility today to learn more!

SSD (Solid State Drive) Data Recovery

Unlike traditional hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs) store data across multiple NAND chips on a printed circuit board (PCB), rather than on spinning platters. This advanced design improves speed and reliability, but it also introduces unique failure points that can lead to data loss.

SSDs can fail due to degraded NAND chips, corrupted firmware, or damaged PCB components. If the issue lies with a failed PCB, our expert technicians can perform board-level repairs to restore access to your data.

One of the most common SSD failures involves a faulty translator, which prevents the drive from properly mapping stored data. In such cases, we use specialized tools to upload a loader to the SSD’s RAM and rebuild the translator, allowing us to recover your files.

In the image shown, we are transferring eight NAND chips to a new, fully functional motherboard to facilitate data recovery. This precise process helps us retrieve data when other methods fail.

If your SSD has stopped working, don’t panic—contact us today for professional SSD data recovery!

Flash Drive & SD Card Data Recovery

Flash-based storage devices, such as USB flash drives and SD cards, provide convenient and portable data storage. However, their compact design and reliance on NAND flash memory make them susceptible to failure, often leading to inaccessible data.

We specialize in advanced data recovery for flash-based devices, using cutting-edge tools like the PC-3000 Flash from Ace Labs to retrieve data that would otherwise be lost. Unlike traditional recovery methods, flash memory recovery requires specialized techniques due to the way data is stored, processed, and managed by the device’s controller.

How We Recover Data from SD Cards & Flash Drives

🔹 SD Card Recovery: SD cards often fail due to controller issues, firmware corruption, or physical damage. To recover data, we bypass the controller entirely by soldering wires directly to the SD card’s pinouts, allowing us to extract raw memory data at the lowest level.

🔹 Flash Drive Recovery: In the case of USB flash drives, we carefully desolder the NAND chips from the PCB and use specialized chip readers to retrieve the raw data directly.

However, simply extracting the raw data from a flash drive or SD card is not enough to restore files. Flash-based devices use a controller algorithm that scrambles, interleaves, and manages the data for speed, durability, and wear leveling. This means that the initial data dump appears as a jumbled mess rather than usable files.

Advanced Data Reconstruction

Once we extract the raw NAND data, our next challenge is reconstructing it into readable files. Using sophisticated software like PC-3000 Flash, we analyze the unique scrambling patterns imposed by the controller. Our team then carefully rebuilds the data structure, reassembling fragmented file systems, correcting bit errors, and ensuring that your recovered files are intact and accessible.

Chip Off Data Recovery On Old Android Devices

If your Android device has Android OS 6.0 and below we can provide chip-off data recovery. If we cannot get your original motherboard to power on due to a failed CPU, fractured motherboard, or extreme liquid damage, we can remove the flash storage chip (chip on the motherboard that contains all your data) and extract your data directly from the chip. On older Android devices your data is not encrypted, so this means we can bypass all passcodes as well. In the video, we show you the process of chip-off data recovery on an old LG cell phone. 

MacBook Data Recovery

Newer MacBooks do not have a removable solid-state drive (SSD), meaning that if your MacBook’s motherboard fails, the only way to retrieve your data is by repairing the original motherboard. Unlike older models where the SSD could be transferred to another device for recovery, Apple has integrated storage directly onto the motherboard, making data recovery more complex.

Whether your MacBook has suffered liquid damage, a power surge, a shorted component, or simply won’t turn on, our expert technicians have the tools and experience to diagnose and repair the motherboard to recover your valuable data. We specialize in advanced micro-soldering techniques and component-level repairs, allowing us to restore functionality long enough to extract your files safely.

At MDRepairs, we understand how important your data is, whether it’s personal memories, business files, or critical documents. That’s why we provide professional, secure, and efficient MacBook data recovery services. Contact us today for a free consultation and let us help you get your data back!
