What we recover from
Whatever happened to your phone.
A phone that won't start usually still holds every photo and chat — the data just can't get out until the phone works again.
Water damage
Dropped in water, rain or the pool. Corrosion is cleaned from the board before it spreads.
Broken screen
Shattered display or dead touch — we connect a working screen just long enough to copy everything.
Stuck on logo / boot loop
Restarts endlessly or freezes on the logo, often after an update or storage fault.
Photos & videos
Years of family photos and videos in full original quality, not compressed copies.
WhatsApp chats & media
Chats, voice notes and media, moved to your new phone or saved as a backup.
Contacts, SMS & notes
Contacts, messages, call history, notes and documents stored on the phone.
Memory cards
microSD cards from Android phones that show as empty, damaged or "blank SD card".
Why phones are different
Your phone's data is locked to its own chip.
Modern iPhones and Android phones encrypt everything automatically. That protects you from thieves — and it's also why a dead phone can't simply be "plugged in" to another device.
Encrypted by design
The keys live inside the phone's processor and depend on your passcode, so the memory chip can't be read in another device.
Board-level repair
We find and replace the failed parts on the original board under a microscope, so your own phone can start again — just long enough to copy the data.
Your passcode, never a bypass
Your passcode unlocks your data. We don't crack or bypass phone security — if a phone's owner can't unlock it, no honest lab can.
What you receive
Everything that matters — safely back.
You choose what to keep and how to receive it.
- Photos and videos in original quality, sorted by date
- WhatsApp chats and media moved to your new phone, or backed up
- Contacts as a file you can import, plus messages and notes where possible
- Delivered on a pen drive, or transferred straight to your new phone
- Your old phone returned; any copies at the lab are securely deleted
Honest answer: after a factory reset, or if the passcode is unknown, data on a modern phone usually can't be recovered from the phone itself. We'll then check what you can still restore from iCloud, Google, WhatsApp or computer backups — and tell you before you pay anything.

Phone recovery FAQ
Questions people ask us.
Straight answers about recovering data from iPhones and Android phones.
Not sure what's possible for your phone? Send us its model and what happened.
Ask on WhatsAppCan data be recovered from a phone that won't turn on?
Usually, yes. When a phone is dead, the photos and chats are normally still on its memory chip. Because modern phones are encrypted with keys tied to their own processor, Data Doctor Hub repairs the original board at component level so the phone can start, then copies the data off with the owner's passcode.
Can you recover data from a water-damaged phone?
Often, if it is brought in quickly. Switch the phone off and don't charge it; skip the bag of rice, which doesn't stop corrosion. Data Doctor Hub cleans the corrosion from the board, replaces damaged parts and recovers the data.
My phone's screen is broken. Can I still get my photos?
Yes, in most cases. If the phone still works underneath, a working screen is connected temporarily so the phone can be unlocked with your passcode and everything copied off. If the screen damage also affected the board, it is repaired first.
Can deleted WhatsApp chats be recovered?
Sometimes. The best source is usually a WhatsApp backup in Google Drive (Android) or iCloud (iPhone), which can be restored to a phone. Data Doctor Hub checks every available backup and the phone itself, and tells you what can be restored before you pay.
Can data be recovered after a factory reset?
Usually not from a modern phone itself. A factory reset on current iPhones and Android phones destroys the encryption keys, so the old data can no longer be read. Photos and chats may still be recoverable from iCloud, Google Photos, Google Drive, WhatsApp or computer backups, which Data Doctor Hub can help you check.
I forgot my phone's passcode. Can you unlock it?
No. Data Doctor Hub does not crack or bypass phone passcodes. Without the passcode, data on a modern encrypted phone cannot be read by any honest lab. What can often be recovered instead is any data backed up to your Apple or Google account.
Which phone brands do you recover data from?
Data Doctor Hub recovers data from Apple iPhones and iPads, and from Android phones and tablets by Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO, Vivo, iQOO, OPPO, Realme, Google Pixel, Motorola, Nokia, Nothing and others, plus their microSD memory cards.
How long does phone data recovery take, and what does it cost?
Diagnosis is free and usually done within 48 hours. Most recoveries take 2–5 days; liquid damage and complex board repairs can take longer. The price depends on the fault and is confirmed before any work starts. If the data can't be recovered, there is no charge.
Are my photos and chats kept private?
Yes. Data Doctor Hub handles phone data confidentially, looks at files only as far as needed to confirm the recovery with you, and securely deletes its working copies after handover.
