Hi gang,
After a car drove over my oneplus and destroyed the CPU, I want to desolder and reball the eMMC in the hopes of recovering the pictures from the first 6 months of my daughter's life. I ordered the eMMC -> microSD board from odroid, and I am about to desolder and reball the eMMC so that I can put it on the odroid board and plug it into my laptop. The tricky part that might make my whole attempt futile, I've been told, is that all phones have their own encrypted partitions that I can't access by simply mounting it as a regular SD. So I figured to ask about this on XDA, where I'm sure someone will have ideas on how to approach this, or tell me authoritatively it's futile. So what's the story, could anyone please provide any insight?
Thanks,
Andrej
did you make it?

Hey guys. I rarely begin threads, and I hope this is in the right place, but what would be the plausibility of putting a new ssd into our tablet? What size would we use in the tablet or would we have to order a custom size?

The internal storage is an eMMC, soldered onto the mainboard. You can only use a microSD card with the data2sd mod.
I am not sure how easliy it would be possible to perform the task, however I know it would probably easier to just buy a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...oogleMKP&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-_-pla-_-NA-_-NA or http://www.lexar.com/node/5235. I dont know if you currently have or use the keyboard dock and what size internal SSD you have but this would give you up to 385 GB of on board storage. I dont know what you may need more storage then that for, but I know there are far easier options to tote around a lot of data then by risking going into your tablet and trying to upgrade the internal SSD,heck you can even plug and external HDD or SDD into the tablet through USB with or with out the keyboard dock needed. I hope I didn't put to much non sense down, just trying to help out a fellow XDA Member.

TF700T mainboard
Here's a link to the mainboard showing the major components with the Hynix surrounded by green.
You can see it's mass produced circuitry.
Not saying it's impossible, yet it would be close to un-doable.
The pic is from the iFixit website.
Hey fellas.
I've got a Nexus S, and it is totally dead. I dont know if I could call it bricked, cause it didnt happen during rooting or flashing roms etc.. It just slowly happened, first sign being that the power button didnt work properly, then after an hour or so with a few manual reboots trying to fix the power button, the phone didnt turn back on again. I've tried almost everything, but the phone wont give a single sign of life, nothing...
So my question for you guys is... is there any hope of reaching the data on my internal memory on the Nexus S? I'm pretty sure that me myself wont be able to do it, but is there anyone who knows something about if there is a way for the "repair shops" to do something about it..?
I know that I can JTAG the phone etc...but that will delete all the data from the card, and I dont want that to happen...
Thank you for suggestions
If the emmc is dead i don't see u having the data back, such an operation will cost u more than the phone and i'm sure no shop will be able to extract ur data expect if u have big money to spend and send it to a specialized company
Best bet ? count ur losses and move on, because even if you want only to fix the phone will run around 100$

Thx for answering .
Well, I dont know if the emmc card is dead or not, the card itself might aswell still be functional and good to go, only that there is something else that is messed up with the phone, like cables,connections or similar... I'm for the moment in a country where it's pretty cheap with repairing stuff, to JTAG the phone costs only about 18 Euro..
But, lets say that the emmc card is totally intact, and that the data is still on it.. arent there any emmc card readers around (I think I've seen one on amazon..), that could read the card then..? If not, shouldnt a repair shop be able to connect some cables or so to the card and extract data?

99% ur emmc is bricked, a shop needs to desolder the emmc and place it on an external programmer to withrdraw the data.
Amazon doesn't carry this type or programmers the emmc is solder on the motherboard
Go ask some shops, they will riff box it / jtag it or they will remove the emmc and read it externaly you don't have any other solutions that u can try yourself.
Please update if a shop replay to u positively about something like this thanks
I have a pretty smashed Moto G that is not functioning at all and definitely won't function. There is some info I'd like to retrieve from the internal memory, if possible. Does anyone know if the EMMC chip is removable and then readable in some way? I've located the chip thanks to this post, and if I can send it away to get the data retrieved (or if I can remove it and purchase some hardware to read it for not too much money), I'd like to try it. I just haven't been able to find too much information on this.

I was reading about this same thing except for the nexus 7 2012, there's not really any hardware that you could just slide it in and get your data like an SD card because its part of the motherboard. The cheapest way I could think of is to get another moto g and swap the motherboard with the one you have right now
Thanks for the reply. I thought it might be something like that. Do you have any idea how easy it would be to do that? I've read a little on switching out EMMCs, but it seemed like something I'm pretty unqualified to do.
Hello,
Apparently my P3100 ssd is dead. I can't format or write to any partition, as after a reboot they will have the same data as previously. /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/DATAFS fails checks, and any attempt to format it seems to work but never writes the new fs - the old data is always there.
I don't want to send it to samsung for repairs with account data on it, but it seems impossible to wipe.
I was thinking of buying a replacement motherboard or finding someone to replace the SSD chips (if possible) in Europe. Any idea? All motherboards I can find on ebay or amazon are in the US, and are all refurbished, without any indication if they are for the p3100 or the p3113.
Anybody selling the motherboard or able to replace the ssd?
Hi everyone, can somebody help me?
I bought photon in very poor condition, last owner wanted sim mod, but he broke SD-slot.
He pulled the tracks off the board and i cant fix it normal way
So, have this smartphone some test point, or tracks for slot on other side of board or have someone scheme of board or service manual?
P.s: I'm not sure that this question fits this section, so tell me if you need to write somewhere else
