In the practice of service centers Samsung, Xiaomi, Apple … there are often cases when the phone is repaired just to save important information: Photos, videos, records, personal files and notes. For some customers, the importance of this information exceeds the value of the phone.
As a rule, with a request to restore data from the phone the client applies to the service center in the following cases
- The phone screen is broken or the sensor does not work
- Your phone won’t turn on
- Phone does not boot, hangs on the screen saver or constantly reboots
1.Data recovery for phones with broken screen
When the screen is broken but the phone is still working, data recovery can be done in several ways, depending on the extent of the damage and the device settings.
Do-it-yourself solution
The easiest way to access data from a device with a broken screen is to connect it to a computer via USB cable. If the device has data transfer mode enabled, its files will be available for copying. However, for this method, it is important that:
- If the screen is broken, it is important that the sensor still works.
- The phone screen unlocked automatically or was already unlocked before the breakage.
- File transfer mode (MTP) is enabled on your phone.
If the device asks for confirmation on the screen and the screen does not respond, this method may not work, and then you will only need to connect a new screen to extract the information.
If independently failed to extract the information is easier to turn to the service center, where your phone will connect a new screen and be able to extract information on your media.
In the service center MasterFon such service costs from 700 to 900 UAH depending on the model.
2.Phone does not turn on. Restore information from not working phones
If the phone does not turn on to restore information it is necessary to carry out a full or partial repair of the phone.
To remove information from the phone – we need at least partially working phone in the power part and microprocessor block.
About 10 years ago it was possible to read the information by “Chip-off” or “JTAG recovery” method.
(The “Chip-off” method involves physically removing the memory chip from the device’s motherboard. Once the chip is removed, data is read from it using special equipment.)
But starting with Android 6.0, this operation will not help. All information in the phone memory is encrypted. And even if we count the information it is almost impossible to decrypt it.
About 70-80% of phones that do not turn on can be repaired at least to the level of information retrieval.
In the service center MasterFon such service costs from 800 to 1200 UAH depending on the model and degree of breakage.
3. The phone does not boot, hangs on the screen saver or constantly reboots
Information recovery for phones with damaged microprocessor unit.
In most cases, if the phone reboots or hangs on the screen saver problem is in the chips microprocessor block (processor, flash memory). And often the chips are intact and functional, and the main problem in the integrity of the contacts of the processor on the board. Reinstallation “rebol” chips flash memory and processor solve this problem. The difficulty is that there are a lot of contacts (100-200-300 pcs)
And quality reinstallation of the processor is a difficult and painstaking work.
If as a result of repair it turns out that the flash memory chip is not damaged, then after repair the phone continues to work as before. And is ready to remove information.
In the service center MasterFon repair with reinstallation of the microprocessor unit costs from 2800 to 3500 UAH.
Samsung phones with two component boards are worse to repair with reinstallation of the processor. For Xiaomi success is much more.
