Whether your phone has internal or removable flash memory, Kroll Ontrack has the technology and expertise to recover all accessible data.

With over 25 years' of experience working with data recovery, the Ontrack Data Recovery engineers have seen it all. Below is a list of common types of data loss which we can recover from:

  • Damage caused by fire, flood, or other physical impact
  • Eletronic failure
  • Missing data due to malfunction or human error - calendar dates, emails, tasks, text messages (SMS/MMS/TMS/EMS); missing photos, music or videos.

In-lab services are the only option for recovery

This is due to potential risks of powering up the phone. Depending on the type of data loss that has occurred to the phone data, additional steps will need to be taken by experienced data recovery engineers to protect the original information.

Important: To ensure the most successful data recovery, turn off your mobile phone to minimise further damage.

Contact Kroll Ontrack as soon as possible if you have experienced a storage media failure that contains email message data. Attempts to extract the messages without professional data recovery services may lead to irretrievable data from the media.

Mobile Phone Data Recovery FAQ

Common questions about recovery services for mobile phones of all brands, smartphones (e.g. Apple® iPhone® and Google Android™ based phones), and older PDA/mobile phone types.

Can I recover my phone data with Ontrack® EasyRecovery™ software?

No. DIY recovery efforts may result in changing or otherwise damaging the data. Additionally, if the phone is locked out and it connects with the messaging server, the server may issue a command to overwrite all data to ensure data security.

Can you recover deleted messages sent from a phone?

Deleted messages are usually recoverable. Success will depend on the phone type and how it was used.

Can you recover the photos on my phone?

Missing or deleted photos are usually stored on a Flash card (for example, a microSD). Success will depend on the phone type and how it was used before and after the pictures went missing.

Can you recover the documents on my phone?

Missing or deleted documents are usually stored on a flash card (for example, a microSD). In other cases they may be stored on the internal Flash memory. Success will depend on the phone type and how it was used before and after the documents went missing.

I just got locked out of my phone, can you recover it?

A lockout affects phones differently depending on the make and model. Some phones require a simple reset, while others need to be protected from receiving wireless contact with the mobile messaging server. Contact Kroll Ontrack for an evaluation. If a lockout has occurred, turn off your phone and remove the battery.

I am ready to send my phone to Kroll Ontrack, what should I send to enable the recovery process to start?

The phone, the charger, any Flash storage card used in the phone, the SIM card, and the USB cable that connects your phone to your computer.

Can I send you my phone without my SIM card?

No. Make sure that the SIM card is in the phone. Some of your data may be on the SIM card.
