Recently, we had an urgent case at our data recovery lab in Sydney involving a severely smashed and slightly bent iPhone 12 Pro. The customer had already visited a mobile phone repair shop and a global/international data recovery firm, the biggest in the world, based Queensland, but they were told it would take weeks to recover the data. Thankfully, they found us and opted for our emergency service, which aims to recover data as quickly as possible.
Key Takeaways
- Emergency data recovery can save your data in a matter of hours.
- Traditional repair shops may not have the tools for severe damage.
- Professional data recovery services can handle complex repairs, like Payam Data Recovery.
The Situation
The iPhone 12 Pro we received was in pretty bad shape. The screen was smashed, and the device was bent, which can cause serious issues with the internal components. The customer was understandably worried about losing their precious photos and important data. After being told by other companies that recovery would take weeks, they turned to us for help.
Our Approach
When we take on an emergency job, our goal is to recover the data on the same day. Here’s how we tackled this case:
- Assessment: We first assessed the damage to understand what we were dealing with.
- Logic Board Extraction: The next step was to carefully pull out the logic board from the device. This is a delicate process, especially with a bent phone.
- Data Extraction: We extracted the data from the memory chip. This involved some intricate work, including:
- Removing the NAND chip.
- Reballing the chip to ensure it was functioning properly.
- Separating the layers of the PCB (Printed Circuit Board).
- Data Backup: Once we had access to the data, we copied everything to an external USB hard drive. This included all the photos, videos, and other important files.
- iTunes Backup: Finally, we made a complete iTunes backup of the device to ensure all data was safely stored.
The Result
After about six hours of micro-surgery and component-level repair, we had some great news. We successfully recovered all the data from the iPhone! The customer didn’t have to wait weeks like they were initially told. Instead, they got their data back in just one day.
