Galaxy S3 Chip-Off Data Recovery to Recover Photos, Videos, Texts
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Another chip-off data recovery - this time it's a smashed Samsung Galaxy S3 that fell out of a car and was run over. Showing how to pre-heat the PCB, take the chip-off with hot air, and clean it with a flat iron, flux and alcohol. Then using flexible and affordable fixtures from KZT Socket to read the eMMC memory chip, directly show where to extract the photos, contacts and text messages from the Android file directory, using WinHex and SQLiteBrowser.
I've been enjoying your videos. Keep up the work. I'm considering getting into flash data recovery. I have a background in electronics and IT. Your vids are the best.
can you make a video more details explaining how to do , what kind of tools you are using and software
Can you post a link to amazon where I can buy those readers
did you ever find them ?
Hello Mr. FlashFixers! I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. Will it be possible to recover data using chip-off method? What kind of liquid did you use to take off the memory chip, and what liquid did you use to clean off the under fill ? Do you know which socket i should use to read the memory chip and what kind of software should i use ? Do you have an e-mail so that I can ask you some questions ? Thank you.
Hi, does a particular brand/model or Android version not allow data recovery? I noticed in a comment you said that a OnePlus 3 with Android 6 is encrypted and thus not recoverable unless the logic board is repaired.
Hello.. Did you know if its works if we swap a data chip from a damage phone to a working phone same model.?? Thanks 🤗🤗
yea but such a pain in the ass to bring motherboard for every phone
and soldering it also
Just extract the data and get the same phone
Will this technique work if the phone had an SD card adopted as internal storage? In such case the SD card would be encrypted but would the internal eMMC chop also be encrypted?
Hello, can you please answer my question?
Can you do a chip off data recovery for samsung galaxy j5 prime?
Thanks, I wonder if this type of recovery will still work on latest smartphone. Provided you have successfully removed and mount the memory chip, are the data on the newer phone encrypted? or same as this one?
mad these parts can take these temperatures, did my first semi succesfull chip off today, no bed to preheat but preheated it of a sort, plenty flux, 360 directly on the chip and popped off couple of mins later
thanks for sharing, it's a shame half your comments are people who aren't trying.
Is it possible to recover wahtsup and viber messages from EMMC chip ?
I'd like to start by thanking you. Well done. But I'm a little confused. I have two s3's, one s4 and an LG G Flex 2. I'm new to SMDs so these are for learning. All of these have eMMC BGA153Ball memory chips and with my limited understanding would use the eMCP153 socket, not the eMCP221 you mentioned. New question. Even thou I have 4 BGA153 chips, they have different model numbers. Having trouble finding pinouts so, do different models use different pinouts and voltages?
You only need the eMMC153 socket reader. It will work on all the BGA chips, even with different model numbers.
@@flashfixers8180 Thank you for responding. Big help. I started in electronics when transistors were in cans, one per. Ended up with IC chips. That's like horse and buggy compared to a Lamborghini. Thanks again.
@@flashfixers8180 please I really need your help please please I am sooo sad now a day's my which is not going to open please do something for I have sooo much memories in that Phone please reply please
Firstly, thanks for sharing. I have two questions. 1. What glue you used for cleaning the chip 2. Which device is used as converter, can we buy it online?
Am also a technician let me help you out.
1) The cleaning element is IsoPropyll Alcohol
2) The same phone model is used to transplant the victim phone's CPU +DDR and eMMC. You buy a new phone same model.
@@smithbrian6937 1. No, and 2 No. The paste that is used in the video to clean the chip is not alcohol. It is soldering paste such as RMA223. Only after that he uses IPA.
And he is not using "the same phone model" to re-install the chip. That would be crazy. He uses an eMCP221 chip socket that was developed for testing and programming purposes, but also works perfectly to read out memory chips that are typical in these kind of Android devices. Digital Forensics is a profession!
I really wish this service was available where I live.
Great video for learning, can I ask if I pull out the emmc chip and attach it to another working board of the same model will it function as the old phone ?
i have the same question did you found any answer ?
the the other phone has the same controller and such. if all the chips line up then it shouldnt be an issue. with newer phones you get into encryption issues where only the original CPU/mainboard can decrypt the data on the memory chip, such as with new apple phones.
I would feel like they have enough fail safes in there to have to have the original chips/hardware to function... so yo ucant swap out new components and stuff
hello apologises if i use wrong terminology but when a kzt reader says its suitable for BGA153/169/162/186/221 data recovery does this info have to be on the chip. I have one from samsung ace - i can read "broadcom" and various other numbers but nothing remotely like BGA153/169/162/186/221 . many thanks peter
hey great video this is something exackly like i need a help with . Is there a chance that you are located anywhere in nyc area or nj area?????
Are you able to offer advice I have a p20 pro nand chip good condition we I need the photos from it. But I can't locate a comparable reader. These photos are super important. Please help.
O got a MyPhone My72DTV (you could maybe search about that phone) and it broke in around 2019 or 2018 and it looks like the LCD was the only damage on it and i want to see if is there any remnants on its internal storage like videos or pictures. Do you other ways to access the motherboard without removing the whole chip itself like slapping its battery in and USB cable then connecting it to a computer?
So good to see this!
I have 4 years of my life on my s3 that failed to turn on in 2015. Ive kept it. It has videos of my wife about to go into hospital with our first child and relatives that are no longer with us. Anyone know the contact address for this guy ?
i see you use a specie of heat gun, is that a regular heat gun like the one from Harbour Freight at $14?
also, what is that gel you use for removing the remanent of soldering?
about the software, is it free?
Sir is this tool applicable for hang logo only i already reball the cpu ram and emmc but still the same.
Can you do this for my old samsung? As a service?
Me too, i am looking for a method to get data from my two old samsung phones
ok so I have a p20 pro that has been completly destroyed. However, the motherboard is in tack but the cable connector is damaged. I am going to have to look at chip off to get the family photos off it but am not sure if this is possiable ith the p20 pro as the chip looks like it is through the board. Also what reader do I need so many on Ali Express?
You have any shop in Dubai? Or u get order from outside the country?
We have a single location but accept international orders. Find out more at our website flashfixers dot com.
Hey do you run this as a service?
hi man, good video. any chance you can tell me how do I know what socket fits my chip? tried looking for the chip id numbers on it but can-t seem to make any sense of it all. Thank you for the videos
i have a motorola motog 3 bought in 2014 and now dead just need to recover contacts and texts
can you suggest what chip reader i can buy and what software i need on PC
i will make an attemp to recover as if i mess up, then ok since it is contact and chats
I don't understand... He just tellaports to the internal folders, all translated from binary, neat and tidy like a disk image.
Did you make a disk image?
How did you access the data?
How did you translate it from it's raw hex data?
Confused... It's like you skipped several steps...
In the video an application called WinHex is used. WinHex includes over 20 data interpreters that convert the hex stuff into something humans can read.
Hello sir , I have connect my phone to direct supply and I think it kind of short and it's dead now is it possible to recover data from model of my phone is Samsung galaxy GT s7262

Hi! i want to do that to my Galaxy s7 active!
which adaptor do i need?
hi guys . i can access that files if the cellphone has pass text o pattren pass?
Yes .. Chip-off data recovery bypasses any password set on the device.
Hello, Would this work on an old Galaxy Ace S5830? Regards
Yes it should, so as long it has an eMMC chip. It came with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread).
@@flashfixers8180 from what version of Android OS does it not work? I know newer phones are encrypted by default but when did that start? Lollipop?
@@purp3981 Android 6.0 and above is encrypted by default when installed on the phone from the factory. A phone that came with Android 5.1 or lower version is not encrypted by default, even if upgraded to Android 6 or 7 later.
Thanks for the video.
I have a samsung note 2. Any possibility of recovery of data from it?
Yes this chip-off data recovery method works for Samsung Note 2, Note 3, Note 4, Note 5 and S3, S4, S5 and S6 as well.
What about J1 2015? Can memos also recovered? What about audios, pictures, and videos that were previously moved onto a different device but were lost so the only option is to get them from the phone that they were moved from?
Is it possible in india
can you recover if the images were deleted before the crash?
No - Deleted photos are not recoverable from Android.
Who teaches Chip off and JTAG? Is it hard to learn?
You can watch and learn from RUclips videos or enroll in Teel Technologies course. Then practice, practice, practice! It's like riding a bicycle, once you learn you don't forget.
Thank you. Also very good analogy
Was asking myself the same thing.
Hi, is it possible to retrieve data from dead Z3+ with new android 8.0 even when the encryption hasnt been enabled on the phone?
Hello can you us the reader model please
Hello. Did you know if it's works if we swap a data chip from a damage phone to a working same model ? Thanks
Did you find answer
Demir Halimic no and i ask on many people that can’t answer me. 1 time a guy say that maybe the emmc are serialized and it can’t work but he not sure.
Please is there any possibility to recover files from a totally broken phone
Asus pegasus x550
No
@@Big_AlMC thanks but it's not totally broken .. at least motherboard is still safe
Please Is there a video on Galaxy S6?
Here is FlashFixers video for a Galaxy S6 Edge chip-off. The phone model and the methods used are very similar to the S6.
ruclips.net/video/UcGHLC1iTyY/видео.html
Can the recovery work if the phone was password protected
Is there any software similar to "x-ways"? Only for reading the memory.
You will need a program that can read Ext4 Linux file format. R-Studio is a good alternative.
thanks for the reply
would it be possible with the motorola moto x play, it was shipped with 5.1 but was upgraded to 7.1
Yes, it should be possible (as long as full disk encryption option was not forced with the upgrade). The default is no encryption when upgrading from Android 5.1.
Hi mara phone jalgia ha mother board vi jal gaya ha or email id sa data recover kar sakta ha kiya plz reply
Hi.. My Samsung Galaxy J5 2016 is not working when switched on. It only displays the Samsung logo. I guess the only option is the chip off recovery method. So is it possible to recover all the data (photos, messages, memos,......) from the internal memory of the phone by the chip off data recovery method? Thanks!
The Galaxy J5 2016 was released with Android 6.0 which has an encrypted user partition. Even if we were to do a chip-off, there is no known method to decrypt these files outside the phone. The only solution is to troubleshoot the board to try and get it to work as a phone again.
@@flashfixers8180 But I was told that the phone motherboard is damaged.. So, is it possible to recover it as you are saying by troubleshooting the board??
How is the motherboard damaged? All troubleshooting starts with the motherboard not working..
@@flashfixers8180 I dropped my phone few times and I was told that it was the reason to damage the motherboard.. I don't need to fix my phone, I just need to get all the files out of the phone..
@@flashfixers8180 Hi.. I still couldn't get my files out from my phone.. Do u think troubleshooting will help me to get all the files out from my phone? Can u please help me through this sir? Thank you....
Thanks for the video
?can I use this method to recover my file from black screen "death screen" device
Can't be sure. This chip-off method only works if the memory chip is good.
thanks brother
Did you recover your data?
Mighty Hellscream Yes, but it depends on EMMC condition
Hasan Al-Hosni I don’t know I didn’t open it. I just have the same problem besides where did you fix it?
can this be done to a samsung s7 edge?
No - After the S6 family, Samsung installs Android OS 6.0 (or higher) at the factory. The user data is encrypted by default. Chip-off is not an option. There's no way to decrypt the data outside the phone.
I have a samsung s6 edge is it possible to that procces, and if so can i send the board to u guys?
Check out our other chip-off video for S6 Edge. Send your board to flashfixers (dot com). More information there on pricing and where to send it.
@@flashfixers8180 ty very much bro
How about g style Motorola
hey man how about Huawei honor 8 can you do this steps to recover data?
can you transfer that whole unit to a phone of the same model?
No - we have access to all the folders and files but its not transferable in whole to another phone. Some items (photos, contacts) can be moved individually. Certain apps too like whatsapp have a built-in back up.
@@flashfixers8180 can you do an old s2 and what port would I buy or what kind of company can I pay to get this done as the pictures of my son are on an old phone and he passed away so I'm just trying to recover any pictures thanks for reading!
Is this possible in samsung galaxy J7
what is highest temperature to remove the chip? just to avoid damage
Keep heat on the chip less than 380C (better less than 360C). I also recommend a preheater underneath the board to bring it up to temperature.
I got broken oneplus 3 . Any possibility of recovery of data from it?
The OnePlus 3 was release with Android 6.0, so chip-off is not an option because the phone is encrypted. The logic board must be fixed to get it working again.
Does it work for moto e4
Where is your office?
is this technique possible on a xiaomi redmi note 5?
thanks....

Hi, possible to recover data from s3 sudden death phone?
Not always. It depends if the memory chip itself is good or not. This can only be determined after chip-off. FlashFixers offers free evaluation on all legacy Android phones.
sir ,did you reball the chip??
It is not necessary to reball the chip using an eMMC socket reader. I have only had to use reballing for UFS chips from Galaxy S6 with DediProg fixture.
