DEADBOX
We read phones. Contacts, messages, photos, app data, and in a lot of cases the things someone deleted. We run two benches. One reads current hardware. The other reads phones too old for most labs to touch. Send the model number first. We tell you what we can recover before you pay.
WHAT WE CAN RECOVER
Six tiers. The first five say how deep we read. The sixth is separate. It decides whether we can get into a locked phone at all.
LOGICAL
Contacts, calls, texts, calendar. Whatever the phone hands over through its own menus. Fast. Nothing deleted.
- › LIVE RECORDS
- › FASTEST PASS
ADVANCED LOGICAL
The above, plus the phone's own backup. Picks up app data the basic pass misses. Current iPhones and Android flagships land here.
- › BACKUP CHANNEL
- › APP DATABASES
FILE SYSTEM
App databases, caches, settings. Deleted messages often survive here, because apps mark a record gone without wiping it.
- › SQLITE FREE PAGES
- › SOME DELETED DATA
FULL FILE SYSTEM
The whole file system, decrypted. The deepest read we offer. Reaches saved passwords, system logs, and app data that no backup holds.
- › DECRYPTED
- › KEYCHAIN + LOGS
PHYSICAL
A straight copy of the memory chip, empty space included. Best odds on deleted files. Limited to certain chips.
- › BIT FOR BIT
- › UNALLOCATED SPACE
LOCK ACCESS
Getting past a passcode. Depends on the chip, the security patch date, and how the phone encrypts itself. Quoted per phone.
- › PASSCODE RECOVERY
- › QUOTED PER DEVICE
APPLE / iOS
Age helps. Older chips have known weaknesses, so a 2016 iPhone 7 gives up more than a 2023 iPhone 15. We go by the chip, not the model year.
- › A7 TO A11 // FULL FILE SYSTEM
- › A12 TO A17 // ADVANCED LOGICAL
- › iOS 12.3 THROUGH 17
ANDROID
The chip matters, not the brand. A Galaxy sold in Europe runs an Exynos chip. The same Galaxy sold here runs a Qualcomm one. They need different methods.
- › EXYNOS / SNAPDRAGON
- › MEDIATEK / UNISOC / KIRIN
- › ANDROID 4 THROUGH 14
LEGACY BENCH
Our second bench runs 2018 software on purpose. Extraction tools drop old phone profiles as they add new ones, so a lab running only the current version hands the phone back. We kept the old version.
- › FLIP + FEATURE PHONES
- › CDMA / WINDOWS PHONE
- › PRE-2018 ANDROID
OTHER DEVICES
Phones are most of the work. They are not all of it. Memory cards carry no lock, which usually makes them the fastest jobs on the bench.
- › SIM EXTRACT + CLONE
- › SD / USB / MODEMS
- › DRONE FLIGHT LOGS

We support tens of thousands of models. This page names a few dozen, picked to show how current we are. Your phone missing from the list tells you nothing either way. Send the model number and we will tell you what we can recover, free, before you ship.
CHAIN_OF_CUSTODY
- REF_INTAKE // EVIDENCE_SEAL01
INTAKE & SEAL
Your device is photographed and sealed in tamper-evident packaging the day it lands. Timestamp, case ID and a handler signature go on every item.
- REF_ACQ // READ_ONLY02
ACQUISITION
We take the lightest read that answers your question, then go deeper if the case needs it. The source device is never written to.
- REF_DECRYPT // ARTIFACT_REBUILD03
DECRYPTION & PARSE
Encrypted partitions and app databases get decoded. Deleted records are rebuilt from free space, where they survived long enough to find.
- REF_ANALYSIS // TIMELINE_BUILD04
ANALYSIS
Timeline, keyword index, and the links between messages, media, location and account data. You get a picture of what happened, not a pile of files.
- REF_REPORT // COURT_READY05
FINAL REPORT
A report you can hand to a court. Hash verification, our methods written out, examiner credentials, and custody documented end to end.
INITIATE_CONTACT
Send the model number and the lock state. We check it and tell you what we can recover before you ship anything. That check costs nothing. Court deadlines go to the front of the queue. Everything you send here is treated as privileged.
