So yeah my s8 was soft bricked from storage being too full, I was able to check the size and the device only has 500kb, Would chip-off recover the internal storage data?
I think i also had a power IC failure or my galaxy note 2 e-mmc chip was overheated from my storage being too full as well. I have yet to give it to a reliable company to get all data off it

All,
Hoping to call on your expertise...
My XDA IIi recently crashed and stayed that way probably about an hour before I spotted it, soft reset didn't work so I removed the battery. Bad idea.
From what I can gather numerous programs still running in background had actually worn down the battery. Not knowing this I removed the battery to reset the device. Un be known to me at the time, the backup battery was faulty and not holding a charge and the unit affectively did a hard reset.
so now I've lost all my data on the device. I note from reading other posts this generally means your screwed and the data is gone with the underlying message to backup device regularly.
However speaking to UK firms like ontrack data recovery for a fee they claim to be able to recovery data from your device and I don't mean the areas referred to as 'storage' and 'storage card'.
How come they can do it, yet no tools exist for the consumer? It sounded from other posts that it was technically impossible, yet for £300 they seem pretty confident.
Am I missing something?
Any help appreciated... lost some pictures and video of my baby boy, born just a few days ago...
Thanks,

as far as i know you cant recover the data any more then you can recover the stuff in your ram on your pc if you close it without saving
sdram will loose the data if it loose power
unlike flash and hd's where even if you delete data it's still there
untill the sectors the data was on is later overwritten with new data
Greetings....
This is my first post but i have a quite serious problem, i hope someone here can help...
I just bought my S4 (GT-i9500,16GB) used 2 days ago, it had only 1 month of use, and there wasn´t any hit or scratch marks on the device but i feel something is wrong with the internal storage.
I already know about the 8gb limit thing so that´s not the case, checking the storage info on the phone settings, i got 3 sections: internal storage, phone storage and sd card, for starters in the phone and internal sections they read 8 and 7 gb free and 16 gb total, the sd card section works normal, as far as i understand there should be only the phone storage section.
and to make things worse, when i connect the phone for usb storage, the internal memory indicates a 1.72gb partition instead of the 8gb or so that the phone is supposed to have, file managers as the ES3 read that same amount of free space.
i believe that my internal storage is damaged, is there a way to fix it or at least have the phone read those 1.72gb correctly on the settings without opening it, spend $100USD+ on repairs, or try to sell it?, i already spent $475USD ($6000 pesos) and i don't want them to go to waste for this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Geetings,
A while ago my device had a hardware defect (most probably defected VGA / http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794925), back at my home country the device's board was replaced by a new one.
As expected I lost all the data since the internal memory is built-in (I think so).
Here come the important question, If I bought back the original board from the service store, can I recover any data from the Internal memory? even though I was able to access the recovery mode when it was bricked, but didn't want to trip the knox chip so I lose the warranty.
Best regards,

Hello,
I am noob i would like to know i purchased galaxy s5 and now i sold it... I had family pics there but i wiped data and wiped cache from receory before sale.
Is there still any chance for someone to connect mobile use recovery software and recover media etc...
Just asking for safe side.
is it possible to recover data from internal? yes. but if they started using the phone at all once rec'd, then its likely corrupted. when selling a phone, its best to wipe, then transfer completely useless stuf fonto the internal to overwrite and corrupt data to make it far more difficult to recover. That being said, recovering data in this way is usually a long and arduous process that 99.999% of people likely wouldnt bother doing. I wouldnt worry about it unless you had some super sensitive stuff on the internal at the time of wiping, even then, the chances are very remote of it being an issue

Though there are very less chances because you have wiped the data. But yes people are now technical enough to recover from the less expected place.
Hello, I have a lg g2 d802 (32gb) that hasn't turned on for a few years. The phone was working but then one evening I left it on charge and the next morning it didn't turn on anymore. I tried to replace the ignition circuit and battery but it still doesn't work. I don't know what happened to it, but I think maybe the problem is with the motherboard. I would need to recover the data present in the emmc internal memory. Do you have any idea how I can do it? I was also thinking of buying another working lg g2 and trying to swap the emmc. Or is there a cheap way to be able to recover the data on the memory? Ideas on how I can unsolder the emmc? Thanks so much for your help.
