AI image by LocalRankA phone that will not switch on, has been through water or is stuck on the logo rarely means the photos are gone for good, but who you hand it to matters. This guide gathers six Singapore providers whose own websites describe phone data recovery, from dedicated labs to a repair specialist that also rescues files. Everything below is attributed to what each provider says about itself, and we publish no prices or success rates. One limit applies everywhere: modern phones encrypt their storage, so a passcode-locked or factory-reset handset is usually out of reach for anyone. Compare the approaches, then confirm your model, fees and terms directly before dropping a phone off.
1. CBL Data Recovery
CBL describes itself on its iPhone page as a data recovery laboratory rather than a repair shop, working from a cleanroom beside Tai Seng MRT. For phones that will not boot, it says engineers repair the logic board at component level, cleaning corrosion and replacing failed power parts, so the handset starts long enough to copy photos, videos, messages, contacts and WhatsApp off it. The page is candid about limits: it says a passcode-locked, disabled or factory-reset iPhone stays encrypted and cannot be recovered by anyone, and that iCloud-only data is not a lab job. It also lists a separate Samsung recovery page for Android owners. Diagnosis is described as free, with a fixed written quote before any work begins. Bring the passcode.
2. Ever Higher Data Recovery Centre
Ever Higher runs its recovery centre from Henderson Industrial Park and lists mobile phones among the devices its lab handles, alongside drives, RAID arrays and CCTV systems. Its mobile recovery page explains that when a phone's operating system no longer runs, technicians can use JTAG or chip-off tools to read the raw storage and retrieve photos, videos, contacts and messages. A published iPhone case study describes cloning the phone first and working only on the copy, so the original stays unchanged. The site says you bring the device in for an evaluation, with advice within one business day and a quote to approve before recovery starts. Weekday hours are listed. Worth a call when a phone will not start and you want a lab-style assessment.

3. Singapore Data Recovery Centre (SDRC)
Singapore Data Recovery Centre lists mobile phone recovery as one of its core services, covering iOS and Android phones with water damage, dead boards, accidental deletion and encryption. Its site says the lab has operated since 2010, that its specialists hold SANS certification, and that it works strictly by appointment, so call or WhatsApp to confirm the address and drop-off time before visiting. SDRC describes a free diagnosis within one business day, a fixed quote based on the fault rather than how much data is on the phone, and a no-recovery-no-charge policy. It also publishes indicative price bands for logical and hardware phone cases, though it stresses the final figure is only set after analysis. Suits people who prefer a structured, quote-first process.
4. Atomware Mobile Repair
Atomware is a Sim Lim Square phone specialist that describes itself as an Apple Certified Independent Repair Provider and says it has serviced devices since 2007. It is a repair shop first, but its iPhone page lists component-level motherboard repair, ultrasonic corrosion cleaning and data recovery under its liquid-damage service, and says customer photos and chats are left untouched rather than wiped during hardware work. That makes it a practical route when you want the handset revived and your files kept. The page describes diagnostics carried out in front of you at the counter. It does not appear to publish a dedicated data recovery page, so ask exactly what will be attempted, and what happens if the board cannot be revived, before agreeing.

5. Data Recovery Singapore
Data Recovery Singapore runs a dedicated phone page covering iOS and Android handsets from Apple, Samsung, Sony, Huawei, HTC, Google, LG and others. It lists contacts, SMS, call logs, WhatsApp, Messenger and Telegram chats, photos, videos, notes and app files as the data types it targets, and says phones stuck on the logo, totally dead, damaged or locked after wrong passcode attempts can be assessed case by case. It advises against a factory reset before speaking to a specialist and states that not every case can be recovered. The main site describes a first assessment at its office taking roughly twenty to thirty minutes, with recommended solutions explained afterwards. The pages we read do not print a street address, so phone to arrange a visit.
6. Greenergy Data Recovery
Greenergy's Ubi site includes a handphone recovery page covering iPhone, iPad, Samsung, LG and other Android devices. It says the firm was the first in Singapore to capture a full iPhone RAM image, locate the key, decrypt it and read the SQLite database to recover photos, SMS and contacts, and for Android it lists contacts, messages, WhatsApp, pictures and videos lost to hardware failure, deletion, factory reset, ROM flashing or rooting. Across the site it states a free evaluation and a no-data-no-charge policy. The phone page names fairly old handset models and the site shows a 2019 copyright, so ask how it handles recent, fully encrypted phones before you commit. Phone first rather than assume your model is supported.
How to choose
- Stop using the phone straight away. Do not charge a wet handset, keep powering it on, put it in rice or factory reset it. Several providers on this list say repeated boot attempts and resets can make a recoverable fault worse, so power it down and ask before doing anything else.
- Know your passcode and your backups before you call. Providers here say a locked, disabled or factory-reset iPhone stays encrypted, and data that only ever lived in iCloud or Google cloud is not on the handset. Check your cloud account first, because it may already hold what you need.
- Ask whether the work happens in-house and how. Board-level repair, JTAG or chip-off reading and disk imaging are different methods with different risks. A good provider explains which one fits your phone, says whether it works on a copy, and tells you plainly when a case is not worth attempting.
- Get the terms in writing before work starts. Free diagnosis and no-recovery-no-charge wording are common, but they are not identical across providers. Ask what is charged if nothing is recovered, whether parts or deposits apply, and what the fixed quote covers, since prices vary with the fault rather than the amount of data.
- Decide whether you want the phone fixed or only the files. A repair shop aims to return a working handset, while a recovery lab aims to extract data and may treat the phone as expendable. If photos matter more than the device, say so first, and never let anyone replace the logic board before the data is copied.
