Technician-led diagnostics
Controlled intake, recovery, and return
First, do no harm
Stop guessing. Start with a calm diagnosis.
Data loss is stressful, especially when the files are personal or time-sensitive. A phone call can help us understand the situation, but a proper diagnosis usually requires the device in the lab. Bring it in as-is, explain what happened, and we will assess it before any recovery work begins. Diagnostics are free.
OmniDataPlus combines professional data recovery, board-level repair, and advanced diagnostics inside a real North York lab environment. Your device is assessed with the latest professional data recovery tools, including PC-3000, Rusolut VNR, DeepSpar, micro-soldering capability and controlled clean-bench methods available when the case needs them.
Real lab, real expertise
Recovery handled by the technicians doing the work.
Lab tools and equipment
Advanced recovery tools inside the OmniDataPlus lab.
Controlled imaging for unstable drives
Used to image weak, slow, or failing drives carefully, prioritizing readable areas and reducing unnecessary stress on damaged media.
Flash and NAND recovery
Used for advanced flash cases involving USB drives, SD cards, microSD cards, monoliths, controllers, and chip-level reconstruction.
Controlled handling for damaged drives
Used for careful inspection and mechanical handling when dust, contamination, or physical drive damage could affect recovery.
Board-level repair for access
Used to repair power, charging, connector, component, and circuit faults so phones, SSDs, USB drives, and boards can be read again.
Cases solved
Real recovery cases from the OmniData lab.
Anonymized examples of failed devices, lab diagnostics, and recovery outcomes. Customer identity and private file details are never shared.
USB flash recovery
32GB PNY flash drive with SM controller firmware corruption.
The drive chimed when connected but would not mount. Monolith pinout tracing, direct NAND access, and controller reconstruction restored access to the data.

Hard drive recovery
Damaged WD 4TB USB drive recovered after drop damage.
Severe head and platter damage required decontamination, donor components, controlled handling, and repeated optimized read cycles.

Portable drive recovery
WD Portable Elements USB drive recovered after access failure.
The drive would not provide stable file access through normal USB connection. Lab diagnosis, native-USB handling, and controlled imaging restored access to the customer data.

SSD recovery
Samsung 850 PRO SATA SSD recovered after sudden failure.
The SSD stopped allowing file access after a long period of slow operation. Internal encryption and limited chip-off options made it a narrow-path recovery case.

NVMe SSD recovery
1TB NVMe SSD recovered after laptop liquid damage.
Liquid reached the drive itself and caused a PCB-level capacitor failure. Electronic repair, ultrasonic cleaning, and controlled access restored the drive long enough to recover the data.

Phone recovery
Samsung S25 Ultra recovered after three days underwater.
Liquid-damage cleaning and microsoldering restored the original phone so its file-based encryption could unlock and the critical data could be accessed.

Inside the lab
Advanced recovery capability for complex failures.
Serious recovery work depends on controlled handling, the right diagnostic path, and equipment matched to the failure. OmniDataPlus uses professional tools and board-level repair methods for devices that may contain personal, legal, medical, or business data.
- PC-3000, Rusolut VNR, micro-soldering, and firmware-level workflows
- ISO Class 5 laminar-flow clean bench for mechanical cases
- Controlled intake, diagnosis, recovery, return, and data handling in one local workflow
Why choose OmniDataPlus in Toronto
A local lab alternative to chains, brokers, and collection counters.
Real lab
OmniDataPlus has a physical North York recovery lab, not a virtual office or forwarding address.
In-house accountability
Recovery work is performed in our North York lab whenever possible, with a clear local point of contact throughout the case.
Careful recovery planning
Every case starts with controlled diagnostics, risk assessment, and a recovery path matched to the failure before work begins.
Our data recovery process
A clear, controlled path from failed device to recovered files.
Every case begins with understanding the device, the failure, and the data that matters most. The process is explained before approved recovery work proceeds.
01
Evaluation
Bring the device to the North York lab or begin a mail-in case. We document the symptoms, history, condition, and priority data.
02
Diagnosis
The device is assessed to identify the likely failure type, recovery tier, risks, and safest path forward.
03
Quote & Approval
We explain the proposed recovery work, timing, cost, and expectations. Recovery proceeds only after customer approval.
04
Recovery / Imaging
The approved recovery path may include stabilization, controlled imaging, firmware work, clean-bench handling, or board-level repair.
05
File Verification
Recovered files and priority folders are checked so the available result can be clearly communicated before return.
06
Secure Return
Recovered data is returned securely, along with the original device or media according to the agreed arrangements.
No unnecessary work is performed without customer approval.
Diagnostics are free. You receive a clear explanation of the proposed recovery path before chargeable recovery work begins.
Clear pricing guidance
Know the recovery path before you approve the work.
Data recovery pricing depends on the actual failure, not just the device type. OmniDataPlus starts with free diagnostics so the risk, recovery tier, timing, and expected cost can be explained before paid recovery begins.
Bring the device in first.
Phone estimates are limited because the safest recovery path often depends on what the device does under controlled lab assessment.
Logical, drive-level, or physical recovery.
Simple file-system cases, unstable drives, firmware problems, and physical damage require different tools, time, parts, and risk levels.
No open-ended recovery bill.
Chargeable recovery work begins only after the proposed path, timing, expectations, and cost are explained and approved.
Some cases need special handling.
Donor parts, severe physical damage, encrypted phones, RAID/NAS emergencies, and expedited work can affect the final quote. The goal is to explain those factors early, before the recovery path is approved.

FAQ
Answers before you power the device on again.
Can a broken USB connector still be recovered?
Often, yes. If the memory and tiny traces are intact, technicians may repair or bypass the connector to retrieve the data.
Can deleted files be recovered from an SSD?
Sometimes, but SSD TRIM can permanently clear deleted data. Stop using the drive and have it assessed quickly.
What if my portable drive was dropped?
Disconnect it and avoid repeated power attempts. Clicking, grinding, or failure to mount can get worse with use.
Can data be recovered from a water-damaged phone?
In many cases, yes. Cleaning and board-level repair can restore enough function to extract encrypted phone data.
Ask the lab
If the data matters, talk to the lab before trying again.
Call, visit, or send the details. Tell us what happened, what the device is doing now, and which files matter most. The form sends the details directly to the lab so you can include model numbers, symptoms, and timing without pressure.
