ACE Lab engineers continue to work with researching smartphones, based on Qualcomm and Mediatek processors. The development of the «HARD Key» access method was successfully completed for the smartphone Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite (2018), which is based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 MSM8953 processor with Android 10 OS.

Using this method, we successfully get access to the user data making decryption on «the fly» from the internal memory area of the smartphone.

To apply the «HARD Key» method, you need to open the smartphone case and short the specialized points on the device's mainboard. After that, just launch the PC-3000 Mobile software and follow the instructions.

The support of the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite (2018) smartphone will be added in the next software update very soon.

Over the last months, ACE Lab Technical Support engineers received a lot of requests about the Phison-based controllers with the new YMTC memory chips.

ACE Lab developers were able to research these new chips and added them to the current minor software update. Since now, it's possible to work with Phison PS3111-based drives, which have YMTC NAND memory on board.

Besides, the new update brings an opportunity to decrypt the external USB drive Transcend ESD230C with SM2258XT controller. USB box in this drive contains a SATA to USB bridge with encryption. Now it’s possible to reach the data and decrypt it in case if a bridge chip is damaged or not working correctly.

Also, the new software update brings extended loaders support for SM2259XT drives, improvements in software stability and speed.
