Erkin is amazing. He is saving you lots of money by telling everyone to use R-studio or any other data recovery software if your computer can detect the micro SD card. I followed his advice and used the software since my laptop was able to show the micro SD card when mounted and it recovered everything in about 30 minutes. All my precious memories in my photos are safe and I am making backups and buying cloud storage for extra insurance.
@@hddrecoveryservices If the software wasn't able to recover my precious photos and memories from my micro SD card, I would definitely have dropped it off for your soldering skills to recover it haha.
For those asking, the device he's using is just a nand flash reader/programmer with a usb interface. They are typically marketed with sockets for flash ICs to be directly plugged into, but if you dig around the interwebs enough it is possible to find one like his with the individual signals exposed, or you can buy one of the socket ones and remove the sockets. It acts as the controller, exposing CE, RB, RE, CLE, ALE, WP, WE, and 8-bit parallel data pins to be connected to the flash memory chip of your choosing. Basically it's a usb flash drive minus the memory chip itself.
The interesting thing I'd like to see is the wiring diagram between the storage device and the NAND. How do you know what to solder to what? That is what interests me!
@@starhopper457 Me too, so I googled and most repair companies ask you to register (and pay) for access to the pinouts. apperently the pinout differ from board to board and thes repair compaies took all the time and research to X-ray and test to verify the pinout. maybe someone leaked it or somewhere on Baidu... but there are so many diferent pcb's (its basicly a tiny pcb), your change on finding your exact model leaked I gues is small. maybe you can buy it, but a guy like @HDD Recovery Services could afford a memberhip to get direct access to these type of schematic pinouts with knowing their monthly or yearly subscribtion to pay itself back by repairing enough items. "Microsd pinout" did show some... My gues also is, you could risk using a voltmeter in diode mode and knowing some basic electronics to figure out the data lines and controll lines. But I have no idea how to determine wich data line is 0 and up. maybe using a logic analyzer aswell... (I used this method on a unmarket eeprom, did figure it out, but it has a "common" layout once you find some defaults) Microsd is another story tho. This level requires a shop like HDD recovery or alott of experience by oneself first.
Man, you solder super good. Soldering is an art and you paint solder like Da Vinci paints pictures. I've been doing micro soldering work for 35 years and I can tell you there is a small percentage of people in the world who can solder at this level. Bravo!
if he explained everything then what is the probability that you won't open a shop and be his competitor??? or do it yourself at home ?...thats y he didnt explain everything
@@Psyden5757 chill!!! That's just a fact..... And not shutty business mind. It's not a channel like iFixit where their motive is to teach. It's a channel where mr.erkin wants to share his work....so I think you can understand 😁
Wow. I was in the computer repair industry for about 15 years and considered my skills to be fairly high, but this makes me feel like a total novice. Very impressive. I'm glad to know this type of procedure is even possible, and I'll be sure to recommend you if the need arises.
THANK YOU FOR THE HELP MAN. YOU HAVE SOME STEADY HANDS THERE. I USED TO BE STEADY LIKE THAT, BUT IM 73 YEARS OLD NOW AND WAS A PRISONER OF WAR FOR 13 YEARS IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT BEING BEATEN AND TORTURED EVERYDAY. I MUST DESIGN TOOLS TO HELP ME HOLD TOOLS TO KEEP THEM STEADY.
Good result , but I didn't understand what you did exactly after decaping the SD card. Did you byoassed the external SPI interface and directly connect to the physical flash? which protocole you used to communicate directly with the internal flash memory?
Hi.How were you able to determine which unmarked pad corresponded to which pin on the controller? Is there a standard convention SD cards follow, known impedance values, etc? Also, is the gel that you applied before soldering flux? From my limited knowledge, I know flux is liquid so I'm not sure... In any case, you just got yourself a new subscriber.
HDD Recovery Services I once spent hours and hours attempting to solder a USB broadband dongle. I couldn't get a single connection to stick to the board. The solder just kept wobbling off. I eventually killed the whole thing by burning it. Guess it takes practice!!
I've been soldering for a while, but yeah practice is probably the main key, but only paired with good tools. I worked with shitty tools, and trust me you get what you pay for with soldering equipment. That being said Hakko equipment is not even that expensive to be honest
If I was doing this for a living, I would probably have some type of chemical solution to dissolve the black plastic casing of the SD card to expose the copper circuitry on the back. I would then have some kind of solderless contact-based device that the card would slide into, or placed onto the card, in order to make the proper contacts to the circuitry of the SD card. This would eliminate all risk of physically damaging the card from sanding or soldering.
twistdshade that is a great plan, we are working on adapters for them right now actually. I don't want to mess with chemicals to be honest. Laser is another way to remove the acrylic but in all the time I spent doing this I have never damaged anything with sandpaper. But push to connect adapter would definitely be great!
dissolving the back with chemicals would take less man-hours than carefully sanding it down. It wouldn't take much of the chemical either since the micro SD cards are so small. Anyways the reduced man hours would mean you could charge less money for the service too. I'm not really looking to recover any data. The video just came up, and it was pretty interesting. Really great idea for promoting your business. Thanks for posting this, and thanks for the reply.
these chemicals would also be very toxic, and hard to filter fumes that they create. That would be my main concern. Laser would be best option to cut time, and minimize risk, and not create health hazards.
My hat off for the soldering technique. I wish I had ever been that good. However have you considered just making a mask with perhaps silver contacts that you can just press or lightly clamp over the spots you are soldering the wires to? It only needs to work for the time it takes to recover the data. Seems a lot less risky that soldering. Perhaps solder tiny silver disks on wires, position them over the same spots you soldered too, and then clamp it. Just an idea.
How do you suppose that would work? Its not possible to use the standard uSD contacts to read the contents on the NAND-memory if the controller or something else is broken.
Jeremy Parsons With a little time and the right tools it wouldn't be excessively difficult. As you saw, once you know what to do the soldering would probably be the most difficult part.
with good flux and good solder, it is easy to clean up the blobs like this. I use this flux amzn.to/2mXJd1b and 60/40 solder by same guys who make it here in Ontario amzn.to/2mtyC0a

10/10 shakiest camera ever, but you did a good job with the MicroSD. You should consider actually explaining the entire process of recovering the data instead of glossing over the process. Your not going to lose business by showing people this, in fact it will just put emphasis on how going to you is the better option because people are lazy and would rather someone knowledgeable do it for them.
Amazing. Thank you for sharing. I did not know that could even be done. When it comes to storage what is your best advice, HDD, DVD, or USB? What is the most reliable?

Hey, Alternative, I have two questions: 1. Which one of their possessions were you referring to as dealing with? Depending on who your _what_ is dealing with? 2. Just because, period? Because what? Oh, just clarify for me to help me understand you better: Did you mean to use a comma instead of a period there?
need to look up the "monolith" or "chip-off" data recovery, you'd have to have data sheets on the pin-outs for various cards as i'm sure they change with each variation and manufacturer, though you should be able to find all that on google or through the manufacturers websites. if it was put into digital format and is on a computer hooked to the internet... it can be found...
I have a question, I have a sd card broken literally but the middle part with the dots is ok, is any posibility to recover data even if the silver contacts are separated, I mean the visible part of the sd card?
I've got a card from about 8 years ago with a video I really want back but every data recovery tool failed so will give this a try, but my hands have the finesse of a potato so I'll have to cut back on the coffee before doing any fine soldering.
Very impressive indeed. There are so many different reasons for loss of data, especially photos. Most of us use our phones for photography these days and if you've lost your encryption key then nothing can be done. All is lost.
The pins info can be found internet. I just reflow the connections the circuit and the pins that logically the points (like the legs of the chip~ acts test pts in TV board) exposed that also connected to those pins.
GREAT VIDEO.... I learned a couple of things for checking sd or micro sd cards for controller working vs not working (shorted out, VERY VERY VERY helpful) just wondering about a couple of things, 1:are you an independant lab or do you work for a company? 2: how much do you have invested in just the lab equip, say microscope and soldering irons, and what is a good flux and where can I buy it? for starters.. I have been an IT Professional for 23 yrs and done my share of electronic repairs on a wide variety of devices to include tv's, laptops, computers and printers just to name a few.. but mostly in the IT Field, systems administration, email admin, and help desk for a LOOOONG time.. THANKS again for great video.. did sub.. fyi
Ah, I got a pdf order print out and sent you my dead miscro SD card with my info in the mail and haven't heard back from anyone since. I don't know if my damaged sd card got lost in the mail, or if I should believe the postman's 'well it could be still in customs". I sent that mail out since December 3, 2016. Now honestly I was kinda busy with the whole holiday business so I couldn't get to this stuff in time and that's why I am telling you about it now. I went to the post office a few weeks ago and the postman says I should've gotten it certified and sent it priority or express mail. Last I checked, on Dec 3 when I first mailed it out, and I said "I need this shipped as soon as possible" he CLEARLY told me "just send regular mail, because it will have to go through canadian customs and will get there slowly anyway and won't be worth the extra postage fees."NOW after I told him I haven't heard anything back from you guys he says: "welp, if you had chosen the other mail options, you could at least track it". Idiot told me to use regular mail, so I did!! Ugh! Did you guys receive, within the last month, a dead micro SD card? It was a PNY brand, 16GB, last name...starts with M...e.....lol I'm not saying the rest for obvious reasons, but curiosity and frustration is burning the crap outta me. 3 things that could have happened: 1. Mail is still in customs...? For this long? 2. You guys took my mail, dead sd card, either failed or succeeded in retrieving my information >:/ 3.My mail is in fricken sub-space somewhere so no one can access it What makes me think #3 is feasible is because even if someone found and opened my mail, there would just be a dead sd card which they couldn't access through ANY means except what you had shown with your own skills in this video. I doubt there are a lot of scammers with this type of ability, and I haven't been hacked yet...maybe they tried to access the card, failed, and just threw it in the garbage. But the pdf you emailed me was printed out on there, so my real name and phone number and address are on it...but I haven't received any weird spam mail in the past 2 months or ANY phone calls from you guys. Where did my crap micro sd card go? Who has it?!?! Please respond to this comment.This is a bit weird... No, I couldn't have gotten the address wrong. I specifically written the proper heading, right from the print out of the pdf that you guys emailed to me earlier, and I remember getting a good spot by the mall where the post office was and using a smooth black gel ink pen to write it. I even have the receipts of the date and time when I got the stamps to mail it...wait a minute...the postman could have screwed it up also...he did make a mistake when I was making a money order one time. Ah crap, where the hell did that mail go? Worst part is, about 8-12 GB's of data but it's only a few kb's or a few mb's of documents data that I really needed. Yes, it was that important, and yes it was worth a large amount of money to obtain. Some people might not understand why or how unless it happens to them. "well why didn't you back it up anywhere else?" Ohhhh hohoho, you have no idea. I did, on onedrive, drop box, pc, but they were outdated versions of the documents I needed. The latest, most recent and most important updated versions of those documents were on the sd card. Funny thing, I had the sd card on my blackberry phone, and I was LITERALLY in the process doing an entire data back up when the sd card malfunctioned so EVERYTHING got saved onto my new pc EXCEPT what was on the sd card. It must've been either been a few minutes or a few hours within that time frame that the sd card went screwy for no reason on the same day I went to back it all up to the most recent versions, so THAT's how close I was to almost making it...btw, my comment seems very calm. I was BEYOND furious 2 months ago. Nothing but vulgarity and laptop punching would have been my response but I was able to find HALF of my stuff from the older laptop which calmed me down significantly...but the most important god damned files is still freakin missing, excuse me...everyone reminds you to back up your data. No one expects those back up devices to just crap out at random. It's like you have to save your recent files to every device and cloud storage available every time you hit the damn save button, because you never know when one of those devices will just shut down.
Well done video! I have no defect sd cards but a usb stick that none of my hardware can detect. I´ll have a closer look to your video showing how to handle dead usb drives.
Really enjoy you HDD recovery channel. Learn alot from it too. I wonder if you could give some advise on my problem Kingston 128GB micro SD card here. For some reason it become read only memory card. I am unable to removed the write protection. Tried to format on android phone, mac and also windows all unsuccessful. Tried on different card readers also not helping. Use all the tricks online like using cmd, third party software to disable the write protect, all failed. So can I assume I have a faulty card? All the data inside are still readable just that I am not able to write to erase them. Hope you could give some advise on this. Thanks
Kudos, good work. Say have you had cases of fake-capacity card, would appear as if the oldest files are corrupted, cause they are being overwritten by the new files, at like 4, 8 or 16gb marker.
Anything to do if there is a direct short between the two power pins? Another words you're not getting a number like you said in the video but you actually are getting a tone?

Wow, that is some serious microsoldering! I'm guessing that the point of it was to bypass the SD card's controller (presumably broken), and get a raw dump of the flash without all the abstraction the controller brings (like wear levelling)?
This is flash extractor? where did you get al the diagrams for the circuits to know how tu put the cables . Tsop 48 adapter is for sd cards and micro sd cards?

MAN... you are "manusia setengah dewa" haha.. very good job.. keep it up :D
Very Confident and Professional Work. Lots of Appriciations... Good Going. From India..💐
thank you Sachin
Great job! But I hope I'll never need a service like this ;)
that tshirt looks like something you got free in a case of beer
darcsystems haha, that is exactly where I got it from. Moosehead ;)
;) I have the same one. Love me some moosehead. :D
10/10 shakiest camera ever, but you did a good job with the MicroSD.
You should consider actually explaining the entire process of recovering the data instead of glossing over the process. Your not going to lose business by showing people this, in fact it will just put emphasis on how going to you is the better option because people are lazy and would rather someone knowledgeable do it for them.
Amazing. Thank you for sharing. I did not know that could even be done. When it comes to storage what is your best advice, HDD, DVD, or USB? What is the most reliable?
Esto es una locura! Realmente admirable el trabajo de medico cirujano que haz ejercido.
This great I know to sand the card ,but no explanation as to what I am soldering!
you would need to know the pinout for the soldering (which contacts go where), but we do not reveal them unfortunately
Fair enough, still a great video :)

This is probably it. Easy search.
no.
I stopped looking becourse of the very annoing not necessary background noise.
I don't understand why poeple do this.
What's the cost for this type of recovery?
Chawanni
too much
a new sd card, table, house(maybe) and a lot in fire damages
creepy fucker

which board did you put the soldered sdcard on it ? @ 08:32 with usb
Alcoholics do not try this
Because. You will probally get sued depending on who your dealing with.
shaky shaky shaky, I need a shot.
They don't, Alli? How do ya figure ya know that?
Hey, Alternative, I have two questions:
1. Which one of their possessions were you referring to as dealing with? Depending on who your _what_ is dealing with?
2. Just because, period? Because what? Oh, just clarify for me to help me understand you better: Did you mean to use a comma instead of a period there?
Bro I have a doubt your eyes is real ??
hmm... without PINOUT and tools used this turns to be just an ad for his business, not more.
I hate ads :(
That is correct sir! ;D
need to look up the "monolith" or "chip-off" data recovery, you'd have to have data sheets on the pin-outs for various cards as i'm sure they change with each variation and manufacturer, though you should be able to find all that on google or through the manufacturers websites. if it was put into digital format and is on a computer hooked to the internet... it can be found...
I have a question, I have a sd card broken literally but the middle part with the dots is ok, is any posibility to recover data even if the silver contacts are separated, I mean the visible part of the sd card?
highly unlikely
I've got a card from about 8 years ago with a video I really want back but every data recovery tool failed so will give this a try, but my hands have the finesse of a potato so I'll have to cut back on the coffee before doing any fine soldering.
Very useful tips. I will certainly try this next time I have to solder.
mstrfool I have no way to copy your text so replying to come back to it later... good info!
how can you do that , very nice skill
Thanks a lot!
Ugh, that music was unbearable torture.
I for one actually enjoyed the music, and am glad a link was provided in the description.

Very impressive indeed.
There are so many different reasons for loss of data, especially photos.
Most of us use our phones for photography these days and if you've lost your encryption key then nothing can be done. All is lost.
If micro sd card is broken into two pieces, is there a way to recover data from it?
@@TarunSingh-jm8wy That is not my problem. I mentioned a lost encryption key.
music sucks, could u not just tell us what your doing...
This is a very old video. If you check our channel for newly posted stuff, you will see much more detail on this process
@@hddrecoveryservices which video would you recommend we look at instead. I'd like to perform this repair myself.
@@McNibbler sir can you reply me .i request sumit you contact page ...please help me ....
@@hddrecoveryservices which video do you reccomend?
its not about music but how to solved with the mthod
dooshy music but serious skills
How in the living F did you learn how to do this stuff? Awesome skills!
The pins info can be found internet. I just reflow the connections the circuit and the pins that logically the points (like the legs of the chip~ acts test pts in TV board) exposed that also connected to those pins.
GREAT VIDEO.... I learned a couple of things for checking sd or micro sd cards for controller working vs not working (shorted out, VERY VERY VERY helpful)
just wondering about a couple of things, 1:are you an independant lab or do you work for a company? 2: how much do you have invested in just the lab equip, say microscope and soldering irons, and what is a good flux and where can I buy it? for starters.. I have been an IT Professional for 23 yrs and done my share of electronic repairs on a wide variety of devices to include tv's, laptops, computers and printers just to name a few.. but mostly in the IT Field, systems administration, email admin, and help desk for a LOOOONG time..
THANKS again for great video.. did sub.. fyi
Ah, I got a pdf order print out and sent you my dead miscro SD card with my info in the mail and haven't heard back from anyone since. I don't know if my damaged sd card got lost in the mail, or if I should believe the postman's 'well it could be still in customs". I sent that mail out since December 3, 2016. Now honestly I was kinda busy with the whole holiday business so I couldn't get to this stuff in time and that's why I am telling you about it now. I went to the post office a few weeks ago and the postman says I should've gotten it certified and sent it priority or express mail. Last I checked, on Dec 3 when I first mailed it out, and I said "I need this shipped as soon as possible" he CLEARLY told me "just send regular mail, because it will have to go through canadian customs and will get there slowly anyway and won't be worth the extra postage fees."NOW after I told him I haven't heard anything back from you guys he says: "welp, if you had chosen the other mail options, you could at least track it". Idiot told me to use regular mail, so I did!! Ugh!
Did you guys receive, within the last month, a dead micro SD card? It was a PNY brand, 16GB, last name...starts with M...e.....lol I'm not saying the rest for obvious reasons, but curiosity and frustration is burning the crap outta me. 3 things that could have happened:
1. Mail is still in customs...? For this long?
2. You guys took my mail, dead sd card, either failed or succeeded in retrieving my information >:/
3.My mail is in fricken sub-space somewhere so no one can access it
What makes me think #3 is feasible is because even if someone found and opened my mail, there would just be a dead sd card which they couldn't access through ANY means except what you had shown with your own skills in this video. I doubt there are a lot of scammers with this type of ability, and I haven't been hacked yet...maybe they tried to access the card, failed, and just threw it in the garbage. But the pdf you emailed me was printed out on there, so my real name and phone number and address are on it...but I haven't received any weird spam mail in the past 2 months or ANY phone calls from you guys. Where did my crap micro sd card go? Who has it?!?! Please respond to this comment.This is a bit weird...
No, I couldn't have gotten the address wrong. I specifically written the proper heading, right from the print out of the pdf that you guys emailed to me earlier, and I remember getting a good spot by the mall where the post office was and using a smooth black gel ink pen to write it. I even have the receipts of the date and time when I got the stamps to mail it...wait a minute...the postman could have screwed it up also...he did make a mistake when I was making a money order one time. Ah crap, where the hell did that mail go? Worst part is, about 8-12 GB's of data but it's only a few kb's or a few mb's of documents data that I really needed. Yes, it was that important, and yes it was worth a large amount of money to obtain. Some people might not understand why or how unless it happens to them. "well why didn't you back it up anywhere else?" Ohhhh hohoho, you have no idea. I did, on onedrive, drop box, pc, but they were outdated versions of the documents I needed. The latest, most recent and most important updated versions of those documents were on the sd card. Funny thing, I had the sd card on my blackberry phone, and I was LITERALLY in the process doing an entire data back up when the sd card malfunctioned so EVERYTHING got saved onto my new pc EXCEPT what was on the sd card. It must've been either been a few minutes or a few hours within that time frame that the sd card went screwy for no reason on the same day I went to back it all up to the most recent versions, so THAT's how close I was to almost making it...btw, my comment seems very calm. I was BEYOND furious 2 months ago. Nothing but vulgarity and laptop punching would have been my response but I was able to find HALF of my stuff from the older laptop which calmed me down significantly...but the most important god damned files is still freakin missing, excuse me...everyone reminds you to back up your data. No one expects those back up devices to just crap out at random. It's like you have to save your recent files to every device and cloud storage available every time you hit the damn save button, because you never know when one of those devices will just shut down.
Hey, can you email us at info at hddrecovery dot ca with your email that was used to create the form?
thanks Dave I will check it out on Thursday
Sure thing no problem thanks a lot for the response! :D
Well done video! I have no defect sd cards but a usb stick that none of my hardware can detect. I´ll have a closer look to your video showing how to handle dead usb drives.
Fantastic, informative video as always!
Really enjoy you HDD recovery channel. Learn alot from it too.
I wonder if you could give some advise on my problem Kingston 128GB micro SD card here.
For some reason it become read only memory card. I am unable to removed the write protection.
Tried to format on android phone, mac and also windows all unsuccessful. Tried on different card readers also not helping.
Use all the tricks online like using cmd, third party software to disable the write protect, all failed.
So can I assume I have a faulty card? All the data inside are still readable just that I am not able to write to erase them.
Hope you could give some advise on this. Thanks
I would love to see a q and a video on how you started out. And how did you grow your company???
Noted
That's super impressive. Great job.
thanks Kevin
Kudos, good work.
Say have you had cases of fake-capacity card, would appear as if the oldest files are corrupted, cause they are being overwritten by the new files, at like 4, 8 or 16gb marker.
Card usually would be totally dead after it goes over its physical capacity.
Anything to do if there is a direct short between the two power pins? Another words you're not getting a number like you said in the video but you actually are getting a tone?
How much would such a recovery cost the customer ? ... I got a broken microsd with my engagement video on it, so sad that I lost it...... amazing work, love it !
Of the microSD card is physically broken chances are no money in the world will get the data back
@@hddrecoveryservices it's not physically broken, sorry wrong term used... no drive shown with usb reader on pc, I'll try the tool you nentioned, but wondering what can be done for how much if that does not show the data as well ... thanks for your reply
Where does one find the pin out information for the pads you exposed on the card? Is this a standardized pattern?
It is standardized for most SanDisk mircoSD cards. PC3K flash and Rusolut provide schematics for many common cards once you buy their equipment
Very nice, it's good to see data recovery like that.
Do you have online courses too?

Hello Erkin, many thanks for your amazing video! Well done,
Please I would like to know if there are cheaper flash adapters into which we solder the microSD? because I checked and the PC-3000 flash adapter is very expensive for a DIYer. Thanks again
Very good your videos man, greatings from guadalajara México.
is it possible to recover data when there is a crack in the micro SD? Also it gets hot when I insert it in the card adapter.
Incredible.... Thanks for showing us how it's done and what's inside the card.
Wow, that is some serious microsoldering!
I'm guessing that the point of it was to bypass the SD card's controller (presumably broken), and get a raw dump of the flash without all the abstraction the controller brings (like wear levelling)?
Beautiful work, very inspiring!
This is amazing to watch, loved the video.
Thank you so much
Do you have the world's most steady hands to work on such tiny solder joins? 👀
This is flash extractor? where did you get al the diagrams for the circuits to know how tu put the cables . Tsop 48 adapter is for sd cards and micro sd cards?
That was a nice soldering job. Can you recommend an iron/tip for that scale work?
I added list of gear I use for this stuff in the desciption
Thax for explain every Spot of soldering...so many are expert just from now
but even if every pad is explained, how would that be used by most who watched this video?
Any luck on ssds? I expect ssd data recovery to become popular over time if not already.
Nice work! I would like to know where did you buy that red jumper wire? Or what's it called?
😂😂😂
Two minute silence , who though it will work..🤣🤣🤣
It´s not like I am going to spoil your business, but can you tell me a little about what flux and soldering tips you use? I need to get into some fine soldering and some fine soldering is what you do there :-)
Phil Maitrot I will drop those into the description box. I get asked this so much
There are 1.3K knuckleheads that don't understand the concept of "watch and learn". Good video.
