The Difference Between A Repair And Data Recovery?

Our diagnostic approach towards a device that came in for data recovery as opposed to a repair is different. We normally need to know you're prioritizing recovering your data over fixing your device to avoid data loss or corruption.

How can an update, reset or restore place your data at risk ?

In most cases, your iPhone can fail these processes if any required hardware is undetected or if you have an issue with your logicboard such as a missing data line (low voltage signals used as a method of communication within a circuit). Still, it may not necessarily be due to a hardware failure.

A good example can be made out of the infamous ERROR 14, an issue that is commonly known to occur due to your iPhone being low in storage.

 

We've made it common practice to always visually inspect your logicboard in close detail, perform precautionary troubleshooting steps, and avoid any updates or resets deemed unnecessary to access your data.

How can the wrong diagnostic approach lower the success of a data recovery job?

It makes sense to mention that performing an update, restore, or reset without knowing if your device has a hardware-related issue can render your device unable to properly boot into it's iOS; in most cases, you'll see your iPhone boot looping (stuck in the Apple logo and then restarting).

 

Suppose your device comes in for a repair and not specifically for a data recovery service. In some cases, we normally perform updates, restores, or resets to discard any software-related issues but this approach can render your data unrecoverable, hence, it should be avoided if needed.
