Data recovery from boot looping Android

[Nick]

Hello, i got an Asus phone boot looping. Customer wants back datas. How do I do that? Usually on completely dead androids I remove the emmc and read it directly but I would like to avoid it here and both recover the data and fix the boot loop. Phone has no known hardware damage, customer said it went in this state after an update

if not just rip the emmc extract data. put back emmc and restore.

What tool did you use for reading and dumping the Emmc?

z3x box from easy jtag. it can also fix boot problems on android, especially hard bricks

I have it I didn't know thanks

I used to solder each wire like in the pic but it's easier to just reball the chip and use this little gig

also Duke, you can close and mark as another successful procedure

This looks like a useful toy... WTF is it and what can it do. Do you have time to expaine a little please?... Never mind, YouTube and Google to the rescue!

It can do many things depending on the software you buy, I got the whole good shit for 250€ on fonefun dot uk.

With this you can directly read an emmc, read it from the phone motherboard (in some cases), connect to the phone jtag and reflash it. The software come with pinout pics for the jtag and firmwares. If you regularly fix Android shit like me this thing is the only toolbox you'll need. I wish iPhone chip-off stuff was this easy
