Hello,

I have this old Microsoft Lumia 540 (RM-1141) device which is stuck on the logo.
After some analysis I found that it could be fixed by re-flashing the device but in this case we'll lose the data and this is not what the client wants.
So, I decided to chip-off eMMC and extract DATA directly from there.
I could dump two main partitions;

The transfer went good without any errors but I can't mount any of the two dumps.
All I need is the right way to mount these dumps and get data out of them.

Device has Windows 10 Mobile OS version.

Thanks in advance.

The Lumia 540 is a Windows Phone from many years ago. I recall that its settings included a [Device Encryption] option. Here’s a related information link for your reference:

If [Device Encryption] was enabled, it’s very unlikely that decryption would be possible. You can use a hex editor to check the header information of the bin file.
