Mobile Phone Data Recovery
Mobile phone data recovery and digital evidence preservation for iPhone and Android devices, including available messages, photos, call records, app data, location information, and backups throughout Denver Metro and the Colorado Front Range.
Mobile phone data recovery starts with the device
A phone may contain the detail that changes how a matter is understood.
Mobile evidence can help establish communications, timing, location, knowledge, and relationships. Summit Intelligence Group assesses what information may still be available and explains the practical limits before work begins.
Recovery is not guaranteed. Modern encryption, device condition, security settings, elapsed time, continued use, and available backups all affect what can be obtained.

Our process
Authority and objectives
We confirm who owns or controls the device, what question needs answering, and how the findings may be used.
Device assessment
We review the device, available access, backups, condition, security, and recovery options before defining the work.
Recovery and reporting
Available information is recovered or preserved, reviewed against the objective, and presented with clear limitations.
Mobile phone recovery FAQs
Can deleted text messages be recovered?
Sometimes. Recovery depends on the phone model, operating system, security settings, available backups, the time since deletion, and whether new data has overwritten the information. We assess the device before making conclusions and do not guarantee recovery.
What should I do before bringing in a phone?
Avoid unnecessary use, do not install recovery applications, and do not reset or update the device unless instructed. Continued use can change or overwrite data. Keep the phone charged and retain any relevant passwords or account access information securely.
Do you work with iPhone and Android devices?
Yes. We assess iPhone and Android devices, along with available backups and related accounts where the client has lawful authority to provide access. The available recovery methods vary by device.
Can you examine someone else's phone?
We only accept devices and accounts when the client has lawful authority or appropriate consent to provide them. We will ask about ownership, access, and the purpose of the work before beginning.
Preserve the phone before more data changes.
