DATA RECOVERY / SERVICE 04

Smartphone Recovery

Phone and tablet recovery involves encrypted storage, proprietary hardware and — increasingly — security features designed specifically to keep data private, which makes standard recovery tools ineffective on their own.

01

Device intake & assessment

We identify the device, its condition, and whether the fault is physical damage, water exposure, or a failed software update.

02

Physical repair where needed

Water-damaged or physically broken devices may need component-level repair before any data extraction is possible.

03

Chip-off or JTAG extraction for severe cases

Where the device can't be powered on or repaired conventionally, we can extract data directly from the memory chip.

04

Authorised, verified handover

Given the personal and sensitive nature of phone data, we confirm ownership and authorisation before returning recovered data.

If a phone has been in water, don't charge it or press the power button repeatedly — power it down if it's still on, and get it to us as soon as possible. Start a case on the contact page, or see the full data recovery services overview.
