All media received goes through an extensive analysis to determine the drive's condition and its recording media.
We will determine whether the problems are logical (software structures), Electrical/Firmware or Mechanical. or all three.
Diagnostic Phase 1 - Involves inspections of external housing and circuit board.
Diagnostic Phase 2 - Involves testing the circuit components, drive motor, and the pre-amp.
Diagnostic Phase 3 - Involves inspecting the read and write heads and disc surface inside our Class 5 cleanroom. Testing the service adaptive and donor matching and testing.
The evaluation is free of charge, and the evaluation process usually takes 1-3 business days. The diagnostic process depends on the condition of the media, make, and model. Hard Drive, like Seagate drives, which accounts for at least 75% of the failures, is the most complicated drive for diagnostic and recovery. Hard Drives who have physical and mechanical issues need a customized diagnostic procedure to determine what recovery method will be utilized.
At Truedata Recovery Solutions, our costs are determined by the failure and storage capacity of the device and the extent of the damage. You will not be charged by the hour like other hard drive data recovery company, and our pricing is 100% transparent. We will evaluate your device for free, and we'll let you know the exact cost to recover your data. Submit a recovery case here.
Truedata operates under the highest level of security protocols in the data recovery industry. Customer privacy and confidentiality are our number one priority. All our data recovery equipment is offline, and all recovery is encrypted on our vault servers.
Standard Services has a minimum of 7-14 business days procedures; however, the reality is every drive is unique, and recovery methods are always needed to be customized to the problem and damaged of the hard drive. We also offer expedited services that require an additional fee. Each service time is an estimate, and it's important to keep in mind that some cases may require more or less time. We cannot guarantee the turn-around time of each recovery. But we can guarantee that we will work on your expedited recovery non-stop over the weekends, holidays, and after business hours until we have the final results.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Debit, E-transfer, Company check, and in some cases, a P.O may be accepted. We do not accept cash for payment.
1. Immediately remove the power from the hard drive or power off the laptop.
2. Confirm if you have any useful data backups before trying to turn on the device.
3. Don't attempt hard drive recovery via software.
4. Don't fix the dropped hard drive on your own.
5. Don't bring your hard drive to a computer repair shop as most of the time, they will try to power on the device and try to recover via software. This will only add more damage to its current state.
6. Call a data recovery company. We can provide you with the proper processing method.

Mobile Device Data Recovery Service Policies
Prior Micro soldering Repair and Recovery Attempts:
We expect that you may open your device to 'see if it's something easy' like a bad battery, dock connector, or screen--those things do not complicate our logic board recovery process. However, when someone else tries to fix a non-functional logic board by micro soldering--that erases our clues and introduces variables that make our job much more difficult or impossible. Devices that have had prior micro-soldering repair attempts (i.e., the soldered on shields have been removed) will be requoted as specialty data. Some prior repair attempts may qualify for our no data no fee guarantee. In those cases, we will assess a minimum non-refundable labor charge to invest any time at all into a board that other shops have already deemed unrecoverable.
No Data, No Recovery Service fee:
We only guarantee that we will be able to get a PATH to YOUR DATA. There will be a $350 attempt fee regardless of the outcome of the recovery. If the recovery is successful, the attempt fee will be credited towards the recovery service cost. We do not guarantee that the data that you seek will be on the device or that your passcode is correct. We will consider the recovery effort a success for standard/specialty/CPU swap as long as the device turns on in our hands and accepts passcode--at least temporarily. We will provide a screenshot of your lock screen to prove that the device was in a ready to recover state if necessary. We will bill for successful data recovery if we can get a PATH to data, even if you don't have the correct passcode. If the wrong passcode is entered too many times, a recoverable device can become permanently disabled, at which point there is no feasible way to recover the data. If you are unable to provide the correct passcode and the device becomes disabled, or if the device was only able to boot once and you did not give us the correct passcode, that does not negate the work that we put in to bring the device back to a recoverable state with a data path. We can not qualify a device as 'not recoverable' under no data no fee because of the wrong passcode. For chip-off android devices, we will qualify them as not recoverable if the chip can not be read. If our chip reader can read the chip, then it is considered a successful path to data. Forensic analysis and parsing of data is not part of our data recovery service.
Passcode Policies:
I know the passcode, but I don't want to tell you: If we work on the device and get it to boot even just once and you haven't provided the correct passcode, you will be invoiced for a successful recovery.
I Really Don't Know the Passcode. Don't send the device for recovery.
I think I know, but I'm not SURE About the Passcode. We understand that sometimes you might not be sure about the correct passcode, that's okay. If your submitted passcode doesn't work, then we will confirm that this is your device and show you that we have a path to data with a picture of your lock screen. Once your invoice is paid, we will work with you to try three additional possible passcodes. If none of those work, then we will work with you on a case by case basis to send the device back to you in a state where you can continue to try passcodes. Sometimes muscle memory and seeing the lock screen will help you remember the passcode on a device that hasn't been working for years. We may need you to purchase parts or a donor device to be able to send the phone back to you in a condition where you can attempt to unlock the device. We can't guarantee that a phone that we can boot in the house will be able to boot once it leaves our facility.
Will I get regular updates?
Not unless there is some news. To keep us focused on doing our work under the microscope, you will only hear from us if there is a problem and if we need information, or if the device is recovered, or if the device is deemed not recoverable. At any other point in time after your device comes up for recovery, your update is "we are trying to figure out how to get your device to boot, we are grouping it with others that have similar physical or electrical presentations and history. We will continue to do everything we can to figure it out, but we can't predict whether or not, or when, we will be able to solve your case.
