Hello, thanks for this amazing OS.
My Pixel 6a was running GrapheneOS when it was broken under the wheels of a car. I have no more screen, no more battery and I now only have the back of it with the motherboard. I don't know if the motherboard is working, but I would like to believe it.
I really want to recover the data on it so I asked a mobile phone forensic company (chronodisk in Paris), they ask 2000€ to recover the data (you pay 25% upfront and the remaining depends on the success of the attempt). 2000€ is too much for me so I'm thinking about buying an second-hand Pixel 6a and transfer my motherboard on it. My (noobie) questions are :
- Is a forensic company able to retrieve data on a memory chip where GrapheneOS is installed ? Let assume I give them the pin. I mean is it technically possible to use the chip-off technique and read it from a reader, with GrapheneOS enhanced encryption ?
- Supposing that all others component are working, will the second-hand Pixel 6a boot normally if I put my motherboard on it ? Or there is some security stuff I am overlooking
- Has anyone else tried something similar ? I read this thread but the OP finally only changed the screen. Somebody is evoking the chip-off technique but with little details.
Thanks a lot !
