Memory cards like MicroSD/UFD have many peculiarities, and their recovery often presents a challenge.
The data recovery process for MicroSD cards is summarized as follows:
- On the back of these cards, there is a “map” that needs to be revealed.
- If this map is already known in our knowledge base, we proceed to step 4.
- If the map is not known, a reverse engineering process needs to be carried out to find the traces from the pinout, and which pin corresponds to which function. Once this is done, we proceed to step 4.
- Micro-soldering is done on the pins of interest and they are connected to a specialized reading device.
The correct reading parameters must be entered in the software, otherwise, the result will be negative. - When reading is successfully completed, the dump read needs to be analyzed to “reconstruct” the data based on the card’s algorithm and parameters. This step is the most difficult.
- Once step 5 is successfully completed, the result is analyzed and communicated to the customer.
