Technical Recovery Process – Step-by-Step
1. Hardware Assessment
We begin with a complete assessment of the Chromebook’s internal storage using write-blocked forensic tools. For dropped devices, we inspect for cracked PCBs, dislodged eMMC/NVMe chips, and controller damage.
2. Storage Interface Verification
Chromebooks typically use either eMMC soldered flash chips or NVMe M.2 SSDs. We verify interface health and determine whether the issue is mechanical (e.g. connector or chip damage) or logical (e.g. firmware corruption).
3. Chip-Level Diagnostics
For eMMC, we use specialist equipment to extract raw data directly from the chip. For NVMe SSDs, we may perform controller analysis and firmware interrogation to enable access to the storage contents.
4. Recovery from Locked Chrome OS
If the device is locked with a verified Google account or system PIN and no bypass exists, we proceed with a low-level memory extraction, imaging the raw contents of the drive. Our recovery tools allow us to access data despite OS-level restrictions.
5. Data Carving and File System Repair
Once a complete forensic image is captured, we perform file carving and partition structure repair to recover user data, documents, photos, downloads, and local storage not synced with Google Drive.
6. Verification & Secure Transfer
Recovered files are verified for integrity and saved to a new secure medium for return. All recovery is performed in-house by qualified specialists.
