Smartphones hold data that can be vital and sensitive to their users. Whether it’s photos, email exchanges, contacts, or text messages, they store a significant amount of data. Yet, like all electronic devices, your Samsung S8 can fail. A power surge, a drop in water, a phone that no longer turns on — these are all situations you may encounter. Despite the existence of recovery tools on the Internet, their effectiveness is not guaranteed. You will need the help of a professional to recover your data. Among the methods used by specialists is chip transplantation for the Samsung S8.

Data has been encrypted since 2016

Your Samsung S8 has been working fine for months and then suddenly refuses to start. You think data recovery is easy, and you’re tempted to hand your phone over to a handy friend. However, recovering data from your chip isn’t that simple. Indeed, data recovery on SIM chips has become complex since 2016.

Data encryption on the motherboard stems from the growth in the number of phones in circulation. In 2015, more than nine billion phones were in circulation worldwide. 

It is in this context that data encryption was introduced for better protection. The goal of the cryptographers behind this idea is to protect data from loss or from phone recycling, since sensitive data is present in the chips.

Repairing a Samsung S8 (SM-G950F) motherboard: an uncertain method

Since recovering data from your Samsung S8‘s chip becomes impossible due to encryption, motherboard repair must be carried out. This operation makes it possible to fully recover your data.

Your Samsung S8‘s motherboard is the heart of your phone. It houses the following elements:

  • Your phone’s operating system;
  • The storage memory;
  • The chip;
  • The graphics card.

Thus, data recovery on your phone must go through motherboard repair.

The success rate of motherboard repair is relatively low. However, you have better chances if it is a power fault or a graphics card malfunction.

If your Samsung S8 has suffered water damage, for example, the professional carries out deoxidation of the motherboard. Overheating of a microcomponent is also a problem that can be resolved by an expert.

Transplantation: a method with an 80% success rate

Has the repair of your Samsung S8‘s motherboard failed? In this situation, many people are tempted to throw away their phone and buy a new one. Yet, even if you choose this solution, you will still need to recover the data from the old phone.

Transplantation represents an innovative alternative. This term “transplantation” generally refers to medical practices. In the medical world, it consists of replacing an organ, such as a kidney, with a new functional one.

The same principle applies to chip transplantation on a Samsung S8. The process consists of removing the processor and the Nand memory from the failed motherboard. These two components are transplanted onto a donor motherboard. The transplantation operation involves destroying the original motherboard to recover the components.

This method has a success rate that can reach up to 80%. So, before giving up on your Samsung S8 to buy a new one, consider this alternative. Note that this method requires a password. It is important to remember yours for the operation to succeed.

Why use transplantation?

Transplantation is an alternative to be used as a last resort when attempts to repair the motherboard have failed, such as the deoxidation technique.

Data recovery and motherboard repair are delicate operations. A transplantation is the result of years of professional experience. This technique did not develop overnight. That is why it is necessary to turn to recovery experts to resolve your situation.

It is important to put your Galaxy S8 in the hands of true professionals. Indeed, during repair, some repairers may overheat the nand memory on the motherboard due to lack of experience.
