[TriLUG] Data recovery from dead iPhone

[bick via TriLUG]

I can't say they are the most likely to be successful, but I can say 
when my wife's Nexus 5X bootlooped, Triangle Cellular Repair was able to 
get the phone running long enough to recover her photos.  The location 
that does data recovery is at 3120 John Humphries Wynd, Raleigh, NC 
27612.  I think they charge $200 bucks if they are successful and 
nothing if they aren't.  When doing research about data recovery, I 
found multiple places online that were set up to do things like remove 
the memory chips from phones and read them directly (and they were 
significantly more expensive), but I couldn't tell which company would 
be better than the other.  AFAIK, TCR cannot read the memory directly.  
Unless they can do something to get the phone itself running, they will 
not be able to recover the data.

Good luck,

Chris
