iPhone 12 Pro Data Recovery from New Zealand

This isn't luck, It's literally a step by a step analysis with multiple factors and thousands of hours of experience to dignose issues and implement effective solutions based on the observed response. You aren't only an amazing technician. You are one of the best in their own craft that also pushes human self-development to it's limits.

[@ststele]

Many hours indeed and once I was doing this level of work several times per week, it took me months to feel comfortable enough to record it. Thank you very much, I appreciate it!🙏

​@@ststele Your videos are incredible every detail is recorded with the bonus of great sense of humor too.

[@ststele]

Thank you!😊

[@cbearslife4950]

Your skill level has seemed to increase quite a bit! And stoked to see more videos coming out! Keep it up! Build up a Patreon and do some live shows, you have the base for it and the knowledge and personality. Keep up the good work!

Bro when that logic eeprom almost flew away I almost had a heart attack 😂😂. Love your vids man!

[@bbroken1]

Man I wish I was a smart and skilled as you are. You are a wizard when it comes to this stuff 👍

[@Spirit-88]

i know it's not about how much you earn for the repair, even if it was the cost of the phone price himself. The thing is: the challenge, the patient, the love of your work and finally the success you feel. RESPECT...

[@johnmorgans7919]

So happy you are back looking forward to some more great videos

[@farouqeaden6515]

I’m so happy that you posted a video everyday.

Nice thermal cam. If over the long term, the camera works well with no fails. I'll look into purchasing one. Thanks for the video.

[@Autokey_Security_Services]

Great job... you and I are one of the same... I always have endless nights doing research and developing my skills... Just imagine if everyone applied the same effort to achieve there goals... I do some microsoldering but my hands are just not that steady ... I just hate it when components fly into the 9th dimension.. Ive lost several smd eeproms and that is not a happy moment.. Great Video, Flawless!!

[@stonelaughter]

I saw that displaced cap before you even took the heatshield off... **proud of self**

[@ainsleyramai8311]

Great video as always Jason, I've been a fan since your Missouri days. I have a few questions, I have the same mechanic board heater and my first iphone 12 separation didn't go well, the top board didn't work after separation. This heater has two temperatures, which temperature do you use, how long does it take to come up to temperature, what is the max time you would leave the board on the preheater for? Sorry if this is too much and thanks again for all of your videos.

[@steffen12]

nice video and work. I think the capcitor from minute 16/17 was knocked over in minute 2:59 when you removed the shield. Maybe it was already loose

[@hernancoronel]

I think you are right, you can see it move to the side I think with the air pressure from the hot air. Good catch!

[@ststele]

Thank you! I watched this video at least a half dozen times while editing and did not notice that! Very good catch! 😮

[@4ndyyy]

That flux to clear to be the Chipquik is that what your using, if so i think mine has gone off lol Nice job Jason as always...

[@sharfazhameed6382]

Really missed your videos for a span of time Jason.

[@treydaypnw]

You're very Good at what you do 💪

[@mohammeddaas2002]

Thanks for you Good and great work you have made I'm so excited

[@SidneyCritic]

I find adding flux to old paste to make it softer isn't the same as new paste. The original volume of flux in the paste is still there, just that it's hardened, then when you add flux it increases the volume of flux and lowers the volume solids of solder. Basically the balls become smaller after the flux burns off.

[@wolflone3652]

Very nice work very professional

Aren't you worried about the lead fumes and whatnot?

[@daviduzdil5417]

what I think is that USA still use CDMA network. but i am not sure if CDMA is still used anywhere else....so that is maybe reason why USA board is `more populated"

[@junnakevin8025]

[@ststele]

Thank you! I will keep posting. 👍

[@ecaparts]

I never worked with the sandwich style iPhones. Did you need to reattach the bottom board together in order to get the data? Very impressive skills! 👍

[@ststele]

Thanks! Fortunately this model does not need the bottom board for data transfer.

[@cdarting91]

Are the corners of the CPU supposed to look like they’re squished down towards the board?

[@TheJoaoAragao]

Good job !

[@MasterJediSean]

Hi Jason! I have an iPhone 6S plus (A1634) that all of a sudden just rebooted and then was stuck in a boot loop where it just show the apple logo and then starts over. and I can't complete a reset or update/restore. Any pointers?

[@ronlevin2339]

It is crazy how difficult iPhone board become to repair with each year/version of iPhone. First double board from iPhone X, then much high meting pointy of solder from board separation (from 12), then transferring CPU and NAND to the lower board. And I'm not talking about all the underfill, no numbering of components and serialization

[@ststele]

I am still finding them to be much repairable but as they depreciate, they will become not worth repairing. A simple short turns into a pretty big job so once the phone is old, the repair cost will be too high. Unlike older models where more faults can still be quick repairs without potential for defects. I didn't mind the sandwich boards prior to the 12 but now I'm having to re-ball and deal with sandwich related troubleshooting on what used to be an easy fix.

[@ronlevin2339]

@@ststele all double mother boards double the price of the repair cost here. For me android phones are much simpler and cheaper than iPhone

[@DiyintheGhetto]

Was this from thr last video with the screw hole damage done to the board, The came CPU and drive?

[@ststele]

The last one was a 12 Pro Max, this one is 12 Pro. I think the previous one would work if the RAM was replaced but the customer is not interested in data.

[@DiyintheGhetto]

@@ststele Got you. My mistake. I throught they was both the same phone it came from. I didn't remember if the first one was different in anyway from this one. But it's cool that you got this one to work.

[@YungEarl1]

your chair creaks so much how is that not bothering you ? slap some flux on it 😂

[@ststele]

I was wondering when someone would notice! This chair has the pedestal torn away from the bracket that bolts to the actual seat. It has maybe 30% left hanging on before it breaks all the way off and bad things happen. I was going to replace the chair but learned the part to fix it is cheap. 😁 Fixing soon.. it drives me nuts.

[@YungEarl1]

@@ststele replace it , the last thing we want to see is the chair breaking while you holding a logic EePROM during a transplant. by the way, is that a new thermal camera you got there ?

[@ststele]

Lol @ eeprom! I'm just seeing ur reply as I'm coming back today to say the chair is fixed. 👍 Yes the camera is one that I had been told was no good for this work. Turns out, I had heard it from someone who had never used one with a macro lens.

[@RalphVB]

I know that you know what you are doing, but making that X with flux, not getting it everywhere really killed my OCD 😱💀

This is understandable! lol

Maybe the original board with wrong coil was drawing less current during boot because it didn't have to power all the 5G stuff?

[@ststele]

Thank you 🙏

[@philippkatscher5371]

I have no idea but wonder if most of the time the goal is to get the data, is the data not stored on one component like a storage type of chip? Would it not make more sense to take that single component off the broken phone and connect it to some device i.e. a donor phone designed for that purpose like one for each model and just get the data...would that not save you heaps of time to just take the storage chip and connect to your custom data recovery device/phone...? Rather than tinkering around with all the bits n pieces? I mean. Yeah you people are amazing at what you do... And if phone repair is the goal...sure... Just saying what I'm thinking . Knowing very well I'll get crucified by y'all...
