Sounds like a good idea, thank you for your advice. I don't think this HDD is in a separate housing, it's this one which seems to be pretty solidly sealed off. Will try to find a guide to opening it up though because perhaps it's just an unusual form-factor.

I've got a feeling that there's a loose connection somewhere in it TBH. If it was a broken head or something like that, it would be corrupting data - but I think (see:assume) that if it was a loose connection then it would make sense that it's got a working/not-working fluctuation.

And yes, I'd managed to look after it for a good few years before he dropped a cricket ball on it. He laughed it off, but I don't think he realised he'd just knocked the life out of 2tb and 4+ years of data.

Edit: I just found this video and it looks like this might work. I don't have a SATA enclosure, but hopefully this indicates that there's some potential!

I wouldn't try to get this bootable again if you just want to recover the data.

Buy one of these or use a system that supports M.2, remove your M.2 SSD, clone it to another drive, then work primary from that clone.

You should just use UFS Explorer or any other half decent recovery tool to scan the drive for the primary partition(EXT3/4/XFS/etc) and extract the data on a separate machine. So long as the tool you use supports your filesystem and can scan for the boot sector of that filesystem you should be able to get your data with folder structure quite easily. I highly recommend UFS Explorer for Linux recoveries.

(Assuming you've lost your partition table..)
If you really want to use testdisk and are used to working in linux, you can have it scan the disk for known filesystems. Ignore all the entries it finds besides your primary root filesystem. Be sure the filesystem type correct before replacing the MBR, then write a new MBR. Refer to here for more info on how to use testdisk.

  • Select "No Log"
  • Select your disk (/dev/sdb1, for example)
  • Select EFI GTP
  • Select Analyze
  • Let testdisk find your primary root partition (check the size, name, type, etc)
  • Select write to write a new MBR
  • Exit test disk

    You should now have a new partition table, try mounting your filesystem manually.

    mkdir /mnt/test ; mount -t etx4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test (for example)

    Be sure you only work from the clone in case you screw up.

    Good news is your data is all likely still there based on your story and you can pay for data recovery service if you cant figure things out. Or you can always take the easy route and do a deep scan on the entire drive with Data Rescue; be warned that this only works with filesystems that are not fragmented and you will lose all your folder structure, databases, etc. Good for pictures on supported filesystems though.

What version of Android had he updated to?

If it is 6.0 or above there is a good chance the data on the EMMC is encrypted.

You will need a hot air station and soldering iron (and consumables) and know how to use them pretty well.

Once you desolder the emmc and clean up the pads you can load it in an adapter like this:

https://www.amazon.com/ALLSOCKET-eMMC169-Programmer-Kingston-Interface/dp/B06Y55DKND/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1550858337&sr=8-3&keywords=emmc+adapter

that chip will be a BGA 153 with 11.5x13 dimensions. could be 16 or 32GB

If that seems like a lot....it may be a good idea to look into a pro, but I wouldn't expect this to be a $100 type of thing; I would probably charge ~$300 for something like this on success

Depending on where you are located there may be several reputable people around you that could handle this type of recovery, but I could not say for sure what kind of prices you might be quoted, I can only speak for myself.

u/DataMedics · 1 pointr/datarecovery

Try the program ISOBuster. It's pretty good at reading all that can be read from optical media. You also might try using a CD repair tool such as this to resurface the clear plastic: http://www.amazon.com/SkipDr-Manual-Disc-Repair-System/dp/B0015ACUKC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463973837&sr=8-1&keywords=cd+repair

It'll basically just sand down the clear plastic slowly until it's smooth enough to read. I've had some data recovery cases where we needed to leave it sanding for hours through several sets of batteries before we could get a complete read.

u/kt_datarecovery_com · 5 pointsr/datarecovery

Pretty standard IDE interface. Take the adapters off to expose the pins. Then you can hook them up by SATA with something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/231011049271?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true

Or USB with an enclosure like this: https://www.amazon.com/Drive-Aluminum-External-Enclosure-Capacity/dp/B000XPS3U6

u/gonenutsbrb · 1 pointr/datarecovery

> I have never seen a 25GB memory stick.

Really? I have a 1TB and a 512GB one on me. 256GB isn’t that expensive these days.

The USB 3.1 version is like $75.

Edit: I promise I can read. Definitely read that as 256GB instead of 25GB. I’m leaving it to keep myself humble...

u/itsrigs · 1 pointr/datarecovery

Thanks for suggestions on R-Studio and GetDataBack. I'm about half way done copying 500gigs of recovered data to another drive at the moment with EaseUS, should I at least wait and see what happens at this point, or just make the switch right now?

As for the product number on the Passport, it's wdbbep0010bbk-03
Here's an amazon link if it helps: https://www.amazon.com/Passport-Portable-External-Drive-Storage/dp/B006Y5UV4A

u/baltik · 1 pointr/datarecovery

Thanks for the help - the drive is a 120gb mSata made by mydigital ssd this guy: https://www.amazon.com/MyDigitalSSD-128GB-120GB-Bullet-Proof/dp/B00B3X72OU

u/asquall · 1 pointr/datarecovery

Thanks, good call on this. I've had to deal with this before so I wanted to know specifically about this one. Apparently all signs point south for it. I looked on amazon again and found a lot of negative reviews on the program. Back to buying two of the same drive I guess. Here's the link if anyone's interested in checking it out.

u/barefootdeveloper · 1 pointr/datarecovery

I'd just stick with R-Studio, but you could also use TestDisk (https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk) . For your external drive recommendation I prefer just buying an external enclosure and the drive separate. That way you're getting a real SATA drive (should it need to be recovered someday) and an enclosure. Makes it more versatile.

I like this one, some people dislike the external power supply though. https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Aluminum-Enclosure-Support-FE3001/dp/B00UAA4J6G But it's got a good USB to SATA chipset. There's tons of options available, just depends upon your needs.

u/Born_of_Kepler · 1 pointr/datarecovery

The US actually. :P And it's a mobile one, it looks like this although I don't think it's that exact model. And mine's USB 2.0.

Here's some of the stuff that's printed on it if it helps figure out the exact model I have.

StarTech USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable w/ UASP - SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD/HDD - Hard Drive Adapter Cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HJZJI84/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_0qh1xbNRS6B7E

I've used this before for this very same thing. Worked great for me! Assuming the drive is in serviceable condition, of course.

the board in question

Edit: the board in question

There was an attempt to repair. But again I went with using a SATA jump cable option to try to offload the data directly from a drive but the result gave me a massive file/folder tree and upon backing it up my mom explicitly told me that the files she was looking from that drive was not in the backup.

(I don’t know what the >!fuck!< else to do cause I believed that the software used to do a byte level backup, OnTrack Easy Recovery, SHOULD have found and exposed what could be transferred over to another external hard drive)

I’ve updated the photos in question as it was “low resolution” and please note that this board comes from this device and NOT a personal computer just Incase there was a misinterpretation or misunderstanding.

u/SilentEcho13 · 1 pointr/datarecovery

The drive in question is this one in question. The chart on Amazon says it doesn't have hardware or software encryption.

Im not sure how far the drop was (it's my Girlfriend's drive). Its a desktop version model WDBAAU0020HBK-NSEN.

Since I posted, I ran CrystalDiskInfo (relevant output below) It showed a caution on Current Pending Sector Count which, from the sidebar's flowchart, implies that I should attempt a clone. Does this change anything? I'll show this thread to the GF and see what she says.

One more question, will a USB to SATA converter offer any possible change of accessing files?

Right on. After you pull that big ass drive from that iMac, you are going to need a hard drive adapter to interface with it. It's a SATA drive inside that iMAc. Next we need to buy a SATA to usb-c adapter Here.
I bet that drive isn't dead yet and it will mount (show up on your desktop) on your macbook pro. Then just navigate the folders and copy and paste.

Edit: and by the way, I can pull a hard drive from an imac in under 5 min. If you have the right tools, you can do it in 20-30 min.

So the connector that is messed up is this one

Micro USB 3.0 Cable A to Micro B for Seagate Goflex/Back Up Plus/Expansion Series Portable External Hard Drives https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XX1VX5L/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JCAHDbECERMJV

But it’s not the cable that’s bad. It’s the port on the enclosure.

I’m actually 3D printing something and I only have a usb 2.0 available so that’s what I’m using to run the scan. That’s why it’s taking much longer.

I haven’t actually written anything to it so I could still clone it.
