Galaxy S6 Edge Data Recovery from UFS Memory with Chip-Off
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2024
- Here I show how to recover data from a dead, water-damaged Galaxy S6 Edge phone using a chip-off data recovery method. All the Samsung's Galaxy S6 Series uses a new UFS 2.0 FBGA95 memory chip, in place of the eMMC or eMCP chips used on earlier models. To read the memory chip, it must be reballed before using with a custom fixture and programmer made by DediProg The memory chip itself is usually layered on top of another chip on the logic board.
In this video I show how to identify and remove the UFS memory chip; clean the underfill; tin the contacts; and finally reball using a stencil - all in preparation for the DediProg fixture. If everything goes right, the chip will be recognized and the user data extracted using the DediProg software.
If you would rather have FlashFixers do the chip-off on your Galaxy S6/S6 Edge/Edge+/S6 Active/Alpha/Note 5 or other Android phone models, we offer a full data recovery service. More info at flashfixers.com.
Lot of thanks that you handle so difficult job really you are a master in hardware
yah the average person going to do this don't think so, but we know we can get someone like you to help us
All this work because they cant just make their storage normal... I should be able to pull my card right out of my phone and put it in another...
In any case. Where I can I buy the tools to do this myself? I need one for S10.
I am sure it was on Android 6.0.1 or lower because user data partition comes pre encrypted on Android 7.0 or higher.
I think i have two video on my channel but still don't see any method which decrypt user data from Android 7.0 or higher version.
why not put the motherboard in another s6 and just boot it up and unlock it from another screen?
Where i buy the reader for the chip?
Damn Dediprog reader needing the reball! I thought I'd messed up before I found out it needed balls. It even has pogo pins! No emmc adaptors I have need the chip reballing.
can i transfer it to the new motherboard?
How to send my samsung s6 and also how to send payment from india to USA???
Hi! Do you still operate data recovery services? I have a similar device, s6 edge, and would like to avail a service. Though i'm from the philippines but i would be glad to have a quotation regarding the service and the shipping costs
Hi. My Galaxy A02 has a broken and black screen and it won't power on and I urgently need the messages. I have another A02 coming in the mail today because I was gonna try to take the screen off of it and put on the old one but while trying to take the screen off the old one, the battery started smoking. The phone won't even charge. Please tell me how to save the messages
My Samsung S6 stuck on logo last updated to Android 7 and i want to recover my files (all folders bcoz it contains images and videos of mine and download from other apps) can we recover all data.... ??? I hope u reply from india and don't know how to contact u and its showing no command now and going directly to option like reboot and others
nice video. will it work with more models samsung?
Hi there!
Can we recover data from Samsung Note 9 which is stuck on boot loop? does JTAG works on Note 9? kindly please give me some details.
Can this same process be applied on s10 plus?
Can a recovered ufs chip be added to another logic board and keep data and imei
FIX THAT ON THE TABLE WITH A SMALL PICE OF DUBLE TAPE
Where to get this service in Europe, I got an s6 edge with saltwater damage since 2016. I have tried to clean the boards but it didn't work, probably something is fried. I want to get my vacation pics out of that
Do you happen to provide a service? I have a Samsung Note 9 even though water proof let a small amount of seawater inside and no longer boots up, 3 resistors are corroded off
You'll find more information about our services at our website (search for flashfixers or Android phone data recovery).
Would be able to recover data on Samsung s7 the same way? It has a user lock
Did you recovered your data?
i thought the ufs chips is encrypted with CPU?
Amigo y si la memoria viene encriptada ahy q procede ?
Can anyone offer advice I’m planning to do this with my s6 but with a donor phone basically will that work?
is this possible for a ufs 3.0 from a note 20 ultra??
Sorry, the UFS 3.0 on a Note 20 Ultra chip is encrypted. This chip-off data recovery method will not work.
how can i get those tools
Hello will this work with s8 s9 ? We’re can I buy
Good stuff! :)
I just saw your video and love it!! I currently have a samsung s20 that has the internal storage KLUDG4UHDB-B2D1. I am now looking for the the correct reader and adapters to get as this is my first time. Whether Jtag or Z3X brand let me know what items i need.
Sorry, Samsung S20 is not eligible for chip-off data recovery. The user storage on Android OS 6 and above is now encrypted.
@@flashfixers8180 is it possible to get data if we replace the memory chip to another same phone
That's a UFS chip and Easy JTAG Plus from Z3X supports UFS chips, so that reader can read that type of chip. But it won't be able to see anything useful in your case, because the chip is encrypted from the factory. All certified Android devices running 6.0 or later versions of Android have encrypted storage chips out of the factory. For Samsung Galaxy phones, this starts with Galaxy S7. This video shows a chip-off procedure on a Galaxy S6 and you're asking for the same procedure on a Galaxy S20. It's not possible. Not on Galaxy S20. This is why FlashFixers only offers data rescue on devices like Galaxy S6 and others that run Android 5.1 or lower. It's stated on the website. Your best chance of recovering data is to repair the faulty board. I presume the phone is not powering on, and the battery is not faulty. You need to take it to an electronics repair guy that does level 3 board repairs.
Hi, i have a question, If the memory chip dies,there is no way yo recover the data?
Works with memory ufs 3.1 of Zenfone 7 phone of ASUS?
The chip-off only works on legacy phones (Android 5.0 and earlier) that are not encrypted. Encryption is implemented by default starting with Android 6.0.
@@flashfixers8180 Would there be some way to break this encryption?
hello @FlashFixers
pls I need your help.
I have a Samsung s7edge 32g, the motherboard is broken by me, but the nand memory are still good. I want to know if I transplant it directly to the other same model s7edge could it functional?
Will the data still be there like my old phone?
it depends on if it uses the same controller chip, if the other board is the same revision number then it is possible. the only thing that could prevent it is if the data is encrypted via the CPU like it is on iphones.
I need to do exactly the same... how much it will be ¿?
Is DediProg the only company that offers a programmer for that kind of of UFS? Or why did you choose that DediProg solution?
Thanks for the reply
Lad Bla No , EasyJTAG Plus box with UFS socket offer UFS memory support aswell
great video! I have an s6 that has boot encryption on it and am wanting to get pictures, etc off it. my wife died 5 years ago and it was her phone. I see this method doesn't work for encrypted memory like that. I also really don't know where to start with seeing if someone can pull that data do you have any recommendations?
I have a Samsung s6 Edge plus thats having the same problem. It went into a boot loop and now its stuck in download mode. I took it to 3 different shops they all said they couldn't do it. But the 1 guy said it is possible. It jus requires someone more experienced. If you find out how. Could you let me know? I'll do the same for you if I find anything
@@TopGTDog hey did u find a solution?
Vieri good🌹🌹
Good 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hey do you still do data recovery?
I need this work how much?
it is very complicated, it is better to have a copy on a flash drive
I have...question.....chip...die...no
.way..data..recover..howit..possbile
could this method work for s7?
i took mine to a lab and they said it has a cpu damage
and suggested to put a new logic board
mine is not encrypted i think
If your CPU is damaged then it won't work idiot
Hmm not sure if I want to buy a reader probably only to ever do 1 recovery. My S6 Edge is water damaged and I tried a new battery and USB chip but it was still a no go. Say I buy a used but working S6 Edge for like 20-50 bucks (albeit maybe cracked screen), could I swap the UFS chips and recover data that way?
Cow Burger any luck?
Are you able to use a different phone or did you recover in another way?
Will you able to recover Google authentication app files. I have a broken Samsung Galaxy S7 edge
No, this method of chip-off recovery only applies to S6 models. The later models *including S7) have the user data encrypted.
If there was any pattern lock or other for screen, the result of the dump of the UFS will be encrypted ! Since Marshmallow release, there is no solution for chip off ! Expect one, ....very hard, transfer CPU and UFS on another motherboard !
Not true. We've done hundreds of S6 UFS recoveries with and without screen lock / passcodes. The S6 came with Android 5.0 originally, and chip-off works even if upgraded to 6.0 Marshmallow or 7.0 Nougat. The ONLY exception is if the user had forced encryption when doing the upgrade, then the data cannot be recovered using chip-off. The default during upgrade is NO Encryption.
Can the memory chip of a Samsung 6 Edge Plus, be upgraded, same I have seen with Iphones 6???
Sebastian Benitez I do not think memory can be upgraded as it maybe integrated with the chip but I believe the storage maybe like the iphone.
@@regferraris yeah the internal chip is the memory dude
The main ribbon connector pins on my mother board have snapped off. What do you recommend?
Not being stupid
@@Nunya58294what are you talking about? Rage Slamming my phone against the steering wheel of my car is NOT stupid.
how much will be the cost for a samsung galaxy s6 of 64Gb ?

You're amazing man. My issue is I messed up my s6 during a firmware update on odin. The only way the phone will work is if I do a master reset. Would you be able to recover the memory even though the phone is in a boot loop and would you be able to replace the chip back in the phone? If so I'm interested
This kind of data recovery and chip replacement from a failed firmware update is high risk and does not fit our business model, sorry.
there is a youtube channel called HDD recovery services and he might be able to help you, he knows how to rebuild raw data back into a useable image.
First congratulations for the video, is complete and step by step :D you have my like. Second: I have a Galaxy S4 GTi9500, with a boot loop, and doing the wipe cache i got an error related to the eMMC, blk1pt19, block 1 partition 19, and i think is a hardware problem, 'cause when i made my S4 fall down, 2 weeks was having problems with android.process.media has stopped and others, and ending the 2 weeks i got the boot loop. I wan to recover all my data, specially my whatsapp chats because i just have the backup 'til July 2018, and I have chats until 2019 January. Reballing the eMMC in the same MotherBoard could solve that problem? And if not, is there any device similar to yours in the video but for eMMC from an S4? Wait for your answer and thanks for your time! :D Send you a hello and have a great day!
What heat do you use to remove the shields, then remove the chip?
I would not apply any higher heat than you normally use to remove components, maybe even 10-20 degrees less and take a little more time with each step.

Nice video, thank you very much. Mi phone got water damaged, but it seems like the UFS is ok, my question is, If i get a new logic board and transplant the memory to the new one, would that work? (Galaxy S10). Another question would by, does it matter if I get a G973U or G973F? Mine is G973U. @FlashFixer thanks in advance.
You will need to transfer the UFS memory chip AND CPU/SDRAM. We've done this successfully before, but it takes lots of practice and experience to be done right.
@@flashfixers8180 I lost my child first birthday photos and vids due to this and would love your help to get them back. The only problem is that Im not in the US. Otherwise, I would have sent my devise your way. Thank you very much for your answer.
If it's Galaxy S10, you can forget the chip-off procedures in external chip readers like you see in this video. The chip is encrypted using hardware based encryption from the factory, and this has nothing to do with your boot PIN or your lock screen PIN. They are all encrypted, starting with Galaxy S7. This is true for all certified Android devices running Android 6.0 or newer.
You need to repair the faulty board to have a chance at recovering lost data. A board swap may be just what you need if you don't know how to locate and fix the fault on the original board and you have no electronics repair guy that in your area that does advanced repairs.
You need to ask yourself, how important is this data to you? If it's very important, and you're going to do this yourself, then don't gamble on what replacement board to get. Get the correct one. If it says G973U on the original, then get a replacement G973U. If it says G973F on the original, then get a replacement G973F.
You say UFS seems to be OK. What does this mean? Is it OK or not? How have you assessed the state of it? What about other components? You need to be sure if you don't want to waste time and money on this. You could take a chance of course. Just be aware that you may fail. My advice would be to take the phone to really knows how to do advanced repairs, and not to someone who only does data rescue. No one is talking about this, but ever since Android 6.0 enforced encryption, the data rescue guys had to either accept defeat and go out of business or start doing board swaps instead.
I am in the same situation as you are (were?), but my phone is a Galaxy S7. I have done extensive research on the topic and I am in the process of gathering all the necessary tools to do this myself. I have seen two different Galaxy S7 phones die three times. I have been let down by the repair guys two times. I sent the first one to one of these "pros" in a country in Europe, and he replaced the board, after consulting with me, because he told me the ROM chip was dead and the data cannot be rescued. It came back, with a new board and I had a working phone. That same phone died in less than a year, in the same way it died the first time with the original board. Then I had a second Galaxy S7 die in the very same way. I sent this one to another guy in Europe, one with very strong RUclips portfolio. He told me the same thing: dead ROM chip!
I have seen the pattern! See, they will tell you it's dead because they can't be bothered to fix the faulty board, because they are in business to "rescue data" at extortionate prices. So they are not really in repair business. This is the unspoken secret! There are plenty of people lining up to have these guys magically rescue their data! People don't care much for their old devices. Data is what's most important. So most of the companies you find are doing data rescue and not "microelectronics" repairs like they say they do. Simply because it's more profitable to them than to do repair. And the steady flow of failing "smart" phones keeps them in business. Just don't mention Android 6.0 so you don't scare them off. They run away from those devices with their legs on their backs. They will come up with some excuse like "dead ROM". Without evidence or a written report of their diagnostics. They don't say it's encrypted. They say it's dead.
So for the third time around I am going to do what needs to be done and I am going to do it myself, to both repair my phone and to rescue the data. If possible, of course. But I'll be the judge of that and I will take my chances. You know the saying, if you want something done correctly, you better do it yourself. I wish I could just pay someone to do this for me. I can confidently say I know what component is faulty. But sadly I don't know anyone within Europe that I can send the device to and be sure that he will get the job done. Most of them are running some kind of data rescue scheme. They're not going to put in more work than they need to in order to make a quick and large profit. For anything encrypted they will say it's beyond repair. Not because it's true and it can't be rescued, but because they can't rescue data without repairing the device first. So it's exactly the opposite.
Also, as you browse and explore RUclips for tutorials and inspiration, keep in mind that you will only see success. You will not see their failures. Only successful repairs and successful data rescues are posted. Failure is where true learning happens.
does this unit support galaxy s8 chip ?
and does it decrypt ?
No and No.
