Data Recovery From Dead Android Phone

[Elisabet Schwartzkopf]

Myson dunked my Evo 4G LTE under a foot of water. It was still on, so I powered it off by holding the top button down, then dried it out in rice for several days. Plugged it in, powered it on - amazing! Looked great! Had to leave for work, by the time I arrived an hour later the phone was a brick - no power, no reset holding the top button (with or without volume up or down), when connected to a computer via USB it neither registers no demonstrates any sign of power.

My main concern is the first four months of my daughter's life in video and photo stored on the phone's internal storage (android "phone memory"). I know, I should have backed it up, but I have two in diapers so best practice sometimes falls by the wayside. I did not have automatic upload set up via dropbox or google.

i just-july 13, 2016, had this happen with my LG cell phone......i took it apart, removed ththe resultsk and , wala, it works just fine, thank you. solution: the magnetic field needed resetting ...my body electro magnetic field reset the chip's electromagnetic field. try it . you could lovvvvve ner gone),.....so, i took that outta the phone, thinking i'll just swipre across these metallic little pieces to remove any moisture, did that, put it bac white plastic chip ( square but for a little piece of a coree cover , and the battery and left all to dry out. the next day, yesterday,- after charging it all night, i restarted it, but there was zilch, nada, nothing...after looking online and using what would it take to get this running again, all my data back....i thought well, maybe there's a little moisture under that

take it apart. remove the white chip. run your bare finger over the metal plates on the back of the chip couple times. reinsert , put battery back, replace lid and retry start. worked for mine as the magnetic body needed reset, and our-your body's electromagnetic field could be plenty enuf to reset the chip's em field. mlaugh out loud simplicity.

Eggs Green, you may check if you have saved it to an SD card. The slot should be at the top of the phone, you will see a notch below the power button. Insert your fingernail or a coin into that notch and pull back to remove the upper portion of the back. your SD card (if you have one) should be in there. Use an external adapter on your computer to access it. If you do not have it, and were saving to the external NAND memory, there is no way (only for the very advanced hackers ;-)) to access that. If you are adventurous enough check on here. I would try and see if the phone will give you enough life after cleaning it and seeing if you can resolve some of the water damage. Use the iPhone 3G guide from here for a general idea on how to clean it. Here is a good video that will show you how to tear down your phone. After you cleaned it, replace the battery and reevaluate. If that does not work for you, I would suggest a data recovery company to get your videos. Hope this helps, good luck.

Simply not true! Unless the phone was encrypted, for the right amount of money, the data can probably be retrieved. Law enforcement and data recovery services do this all the time. But it may cost many thousands, so you'll have to decide if it's worth it.

The way it's done is through a chip-off process. This is usually a last resort if ultrasonic/spot cleaning of the phone's internal components doesn't work. During a chip-off recovery, the phone's internal memory chip (which holds ALL the phone's data) is de-soldered from the logic board, and put in a specific reader. The data is extracted and put into a readable format. For phones where the data is encrypted (iPhones and some recent Androids), the recovery is only possible if the logic board is working too. But even if you have a bad logic board, you can still replace parts of it to get it working again. For more info, see: -to-recover-ph...

If your phone was signed into your Google account all your photos should already be backed (automatically, and for free) up to google photos. Just search for photos in the search bar and click the first link.

Even if they guarantee to return it with your data intact, be VERY CAREFUL! they are just telephone call handlers and do not know for sure what will happen, also people do not tick all the correct boxes and others do not look at all the boxes, so you could loose out those ways!

I know the issue, I've had it several times previously with the "unknown device USB driver" (a crash causes the driver change). I just need to find the "Windows stored back up driver", delete it, then Windows will happily accept the "substitution driver".

I don't think I will get this solution to work though since there seems to be no connection to my phone on the micro-USB. Nothing shows when I try to charge it, no light is turned on or anything nor when I plug into the computer and try with adb.

This they solved by cooling it to -40 degree Celcius and now they were able to boot it up and recover the data. Phone was dead after that but I got what I needed - all the beautiful pictures of my baby daugther and the rest of the family.

Hi Jacob, I have found myself in the similar situation you were in. My samsung s7 bought only 6 months ago (recently found out it's not genuine but made in China) suddenly died after being stuck in a loop for a few hours then making a loud screeching noise after coming back from holiday. It doesn't come on at all or shows it's charging. Plugged into laptop nothing there either. I had really precious images on my phone which Id like back. I'm not great with all the tech stuff so I did hand it into a data recovery company, they told me they are able to get my data back from the internal chip and charged me ALOT of money but after told me they couldn't get the data, I lost 100s of pounds. I'm not sure if they even made a good attempt. I don't know what to do from here, I'm losing hope and worried who to trust. Or is it just better just to give up. The company you posted seems to be in a foreign launguage is there a way to change it to English?

P.s i recently found out/told samsung s7 is encrypted therefore currently there is no way of extracting internal data from it. But my samsung was a fake which I found out recently so would there be a chance? I'm confused as so many people are saying you can scan a dead phone but I've used lots of programmes and my phone doesn't show up on the lap top. Then I got conned by a well known company, not sure if they actually made a good attempt to get my data or even tried because now thinking back he was very eager to take the payment, (my fault because I actually believed/trusted the the guy/company. This whole process is actually making me feel that pretty down. Any advice?

It can be retrieved by removing the memory chip from the logic board of the phone. then using a memory chip socket reader and pulling the hex data off. Then it can be recovered and other data like contacts or sms can be read in sql and converted into an excel file.

If your phone is damaged or some parts needs replacing then open the phone and pull it apart. Observe any burnt brown colouring and wipe it down with computer type alcohol spray or a 99% alcohol wipes that's in your medical first aid kits.

So wipe it down put it back together and cross your fingers. If this doesnt work, pull your phone carefully apart and and observe damaged cables or wet areas and even look for mould that could started to form in your phone.

One of the most important reasons we use a mobile device is to call and send messages. But sometimes, we use the same device to keep memories, including the pictures we took at an event, messages we send and receive from friends, and other significant files.
