Data recovery from iPhone 12 motherboard stuck in DFU Mode

Hello Andrew,

Unfortunately, a quick recommendation in the workshop sense does not exist. The damage is not necessarily extensive, but it is certainly related to the bend you observed. Looking closely, one could discover the reason for this behavior. However, this requires a physical examination, the need to desolder the sandwich and trace the electrical paths. It is already known that the phone remains in STAGE I&II mode due to lack of access to the "secure enclave" area. This can be due to many reasons, each should be considered. Of course, your phone data are recoverable. However, whether this will be successful depends entirely on the skills of the technician in the repair shop. This is a technical level, in the era of technicians learned from YouTube, unattainable for most. So look for an experienced repair shop with an unblemished reputation. A mistake could cost you all your data on that device. Certainly recommend recognized and leading workshops around the world, depending on your location. In North America: iPADREHAB and canadian REFECTIO. In the EU, german RESQ and polish STUDIONAPRAW.PL (it's not nice to advertise yourself but the facts are what they are). In Asia, IphoneServiceMalaysia and an australian workshop of Paul Daniels, whom I particularly like and respect.

As an engineer, you're certainly aware of the complications that can arise, but that doesn't necessarily mean spending thousands of dollars with data recovery agencies. Search out, find out and smartly decide. Everything is in your hands.
