Hi All,
Just after some advice…
I have in my possession an iPhone 6 which was thrown, by a suspect, into a canal. I'm trying to get it working again. Unfortunately the handset was submerged for 14 days and when finally recovered was placed into a plastic TEB and left for another 10 days or so before being submitted to myself.
I have taken the handset apart, dried it, cleaned it (alcohol solution), replaced the battery and screen. Still no sign of life. This method has been successful with other damaged devices although these have not been submerged for such a long period and were recovered from swimming pools, toilets etc. and not dirty canal water.
Any other ideas of what can be done? Or is this a lost cause?
Thanks!

I have the tools for the job but not the requirement as of yet.
Have a look at this link https://
Looks a bit tricky, POP CPU, a couple of chips to remove, clean, reball and then replace. Replacement with a rework station is a must for ultimate control over a clean chip replacement.

Our recovery engineers can do it for you.
Thank you. I'll have to see if the boss will buy me some nice things…
There are two ways when we approach of data recovery from iPhones
a) repair device until it will boot and work - then you can make physical dump from it - in most cases after water damage you will got some capacitors grounded to VCC Main line - you can use ZXW Dongle to get schematics and play with all shortcut you got
b) take good board, remove from it CPU, NAND and EEprom and put in place of those 3 chips the ones from broken device - whole operation takes around 2-3 hours including all stages of remove chips, reball them and put again of course if you got correct equipment (we are using for this automatic BGA system with Split Vision but there are some guys who make same using hot air in hands…..
Good luck…
