Android Phone Data Recovery – Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel and More
When an Android phone dies, breaks or ends up in water, the photos and messages on it may not have synced to Google Photos or Samsung Cloud. We repair damaged Android phones to the point where data can be recovered, and we recover microSD cards from phones that still use them.
Like iPhones, modern Android phones encrypt their storage and link it to your PIN, pattern or password and to the phone’s own processor. We need the phone’s unlock code, and the phone’s main board, to recover your data.

Common Situations
- Phone dead after water damage or a drop
- Smashed screen – phone is on but you cannot see or unlock it
- Stuck on the Samsung or Google logo, or in a boot loop
- Charging port damaged so the phone will not charge
- microSD card unreadable or asking to be formatted
Before You Send It
Check Google Photos, your Google account backup and (for Samsung) Samsung Cloud first. Please note we cannot bypass a forgotten PIN, pattern or password on an encrypted phone – you will need to know it for us to recover the data.
