hi i have a google pixel 4 dead doesn't turn on i believe the Storage chip on it is UFS 2.1 and i want to try chip off to read and recover the data. can anyone please suggest which device is able to read these kind of chips? as i contacted ACE lab and they told me that they do not recommend to do chip off for such case. it would be preferable to wait the solution which allows you to reach data by a USB wire.

so does anyone has any experiences with recovering data of google pixel devices. can't even find schematic for the motherboard.

It has Android 10 so chip-off is pointless. Data is encrypted. The only way is to fix it.

Yes, you need to measure caps and filter on motherboard. The device was dropped ? It takes any amp when charger is connected ?
You could try to buy same model on ebay and swap motherboard to make sure it's not related to anything else.

no it doesn't take any amp when it's connected to charge. i can not find any shorted caps. yes it was dropped. i was wondering if its possible to get same model motherboard and swap the storage chip? i know with older models of android it would work and data would be available but don't know with this model if it's possible.
