Can You Recover Data from an iPhone Motherboard?
Yes, it is possible to recover data from an iPhone motherboard, but the process is more complex than accessing the NAND memory chip alone. Due to Apple's strong encryption, data stored on the NAND chip cannot be decrypted without the original CPU and EEPROM (also known as the Secure Storage Controller). This means that to successfully recover your data, the iPhone's motherboard must be repaired to a functional state with its original components.
At iBoard Repair, we specialize in recovering data from iPhones with damaged motherboards.
We do this by figuring out what is the best approach for each and every individual case. In some instances, this will mean repairing the original motherboard. Sometimes this will involve clearing shorted lines or replacing damaged components. This ensures that the original CPU and EEPROM can communicate and decrypt the user data on the original NAND memory chip. Every other component that is vital can be replaced if needed, but these 3 chips cannot.
In cases with more extreme damage, we use the all-or-nothing approach of the full CPU Swap. This procedure has us move the 3 vital data chips to a donor motherboard, ensuring that every other component is good and working. This approach is mostly necessary for cases where the motherboard has physically snapped and they layers of the motherboard can no longer move voltage along the traces.
If your iPhone has a damaged motherboard and you need to recover important data, we're here to help. Contact us to discuss your situation, and we'll provide you with a reliable solution to retrieve your valuable information.
