That is the normal outcome unfortunately.

What is the reason in his opinion?

Here you go

********************************************************************************************************************
We are not able to get data out from this device after several tries of our method which works without any problems in iPhones. Reason can be:

- it's not compatible with your SW version to which was iOS updagrade attempt
- problem are not really with iOS but with NAND

Unfortunelly we are not able to help in such case here.

Anyone know a way to recover pictures on that IPAD ? Did Apple ever addressed this problem ?

You would need Cellebrite or similar to make a physical image of the iPad.

I do believe that Bolo has it and am sure he tried it...
but in my opinion if he says not possible then its REALLY not possible unless he forgot to do/try something which i doubt

It might be the NAND chip (memory itself) same as in some flash cases where the only results are either RAW or nothing at all..

Anyone has access to Cellebrite here ? Customer would pay for this. There's a lot of customer experiencing this issue and they haven't done anything wrong. Does any newspaper or techsite talk about it ? This is a real bug and should be address by Apple.

I think the OP was talking about a different recovery. Original was an iPhone, he is now asking about an iPad.

If you are talking about deleted photos, then its not a 'bug' as such. iPhones are encrypted and when photos are deleted they are no longer seen by the iPhone as they are now in unallocated space. You can still recover database files such as messages as the whole database can be scanned for those deleted files.

I just notices that,,, i did not notice the "IPad mini 2 A1489" part from page1

But as Bolo said, if its "the Lake of space" -->> then i also would say 95% can be recovered but if the problem is else where

I also wrote before that "Itunes really doesn't report much to understand the problem"
and we do use "Cellebrite" along with some other tools in our labs, but its really not designed to REPAIR, there is kind of zig zag path to get the data intact

The key to solve the case is from the Log which Itunes do not really report and am sure Bolo already know & tried.

How? With Cellbrite only? Or another tool? Or is it a technique?
Due to low chance of success, I don't do many iPhone recoveries. But I am curious to understand, so I can provide an informative answer to the hoards of people inquiring about this problem specifically having to do with iOS update bug and lack of free space.

In the iPhone data recovery community, 95% of the time if the iPhone has iOS failure and has no space available to accept the new firmware upload the phone is generally not recoverable.

Now there are times when the iPhone data storage partition gets full and the phone begins to appear to fail such as losing pictures, and those are generally recoverable as the OS is still accessible.

It is a technique we do based on the Log of the error (reported by some other tools - last one on the list is the Cellebrite)

This is a bug on their IOS.. they know about... and before updating to newer ver. the IOS device recommends you to backup but users are too lazy to do that

labtech "Due to low chance of success, I don't do many iPhone recoveries"
you will need to invest in proper tools that actually work and have a good stock of devices to simulate the same case before going into the real one.

I found that on this world (smart phones).. few are willing to share their experience with others...
and am grateful for the people i know on this field.

good luck

Did you see that bunch of cases with error 14 issue in her hands? You should contact immediatly and offer her your service. You will become billioner.

Checkm8 and Cellebrite have been trying to solve this issue and cannot.
The issue also covers error codes 14, 26, 75 and 78.
There are several massive legal cases at the moment whose lawyers would pay $100k for a solution.

Those cases are more or less 20-50 i don`t think will reach 50k $$$ more or less
In addition,,, I don`t have financial problems btw... eventually they will come



do you know WHY they cannot?

Each error code is different. 14 is because there is no space. 75 is because it cannot find the APFS volume. etc.
