RE:Flash card recovery

[David Sam]

Hello All,

Who's can share a information about Flash card recovery
tools and program? I'm looking it for full solutions of
Flash recovery.

Thank you.

With Stellar Phoenix you can recovery flash card.

With Stellar Phoenix you can recovery flash card.

From my memory most software data rec will work... I think CF will mount as floppy drive FAT 12... maybe Im wrong cannot remember

Hi my friends,

Thanks for your information.
This is for detected device only. If the Flash device not detected,
what tools should be use?

Thank you.

David

I use an external eeprom reader for physical cases and Photorecovery for Digital Media for the software ones (ie: flash does not mount - no files at drive letter).

Also a good USB card reader all in 1 (mine is 21 in 1) is of great help

HI BR,

Thank you for your help too.
Which brand of eeprom reader is the best? Is it must be solder out
the eeprom IC before using a reader?

Thank you.

I suggest using WinHex. I've achieved the best results with this software.

Yes David, you must first unsolder the eeprom (generally TSOP-40) from the pcb before reading ...

I do not know which is best, but Xeltek 3000U have never failed me

Thanks you for BR.
This Xeltek 3000U is easy to use?
Is stand alone or connected with computer?

David

USB connected. The programmer itself is very easy to use. The most difficult part is to have the correct skills to unsolder the tsop component.

to David Sam:
It's easier to get an working flash card an replace the TSOP flash memory with the one from the bad card (must be identicall), but, how -BR- said, you must have good soldering skill.

OK! for technical side, I will practise as much as I can.
Let said If I got one MMC flash card is undetected, I need is
just unsolder out TSOP and put in Xeltek to read it or can I
sold/swap TSOP to a good MMC flash card? And how can I know
which TSOP pin is for power and which pin is for DATA,time, etc?
Is it all Flash TSOP is the same architecture?

Thank you.

Hi,

'perhaps' there is a type number on the IC that u may feed to Google

David:

If you use Xeltek, there is a great software bundled that identify the tsop by its code and give you full needed pinout.

Also, i prefer to read its data in external eeprom header because of some reasons:

1 - It does not damage an extra card (probably new, because you can not have it all)

2 - Something can go wrong in the re-soldering process, and you can loose data forever (like if you broke a data pin)

Hello BR,

Thanks for your info again.
Is it everybody also using a Xeltek to recovery Flash data?
I need is buy all Xeltek tools then can be start to do Flash recovery data business? or still need others equipment?

Thank you.
