Our Detailed Recovery Process

A step-by-step approach to securely recovering your hardware wallet

1. Initial Consultation

We begin with a free, confidential consultation to understand your specific situation. Our experts will assess the recovery options available for your wallet type and issue.

2. Service Agreement

Once we confirm that recovery is possible, we'll provide a clear service agreement outlining our recovery process, timeline, and fees. We follow a transparent "no recovery, no fee" policy.

3. Secure Device Transit

We'll provide detailed instructions for securely packaging and shipping your device to our facility. All shipments include tracking and insurance for your protection.

4. Technical Recovery

Our engineers work in a secure environment using proprietary tools and techniques to recover your device. We use a combination of specialized software and hardware solutions depending on your specific issue.

5. Secure Verification

After recovery, we perform verification steps to ensure successful access restoration. We never access your funds or private keys beyond what's necessary for recovery verification.

6. Return & Support

Your device is returned via secure shipping along with detailed documentation and instructions. We provide ongoing support to ensure you can access your assets successfully.

Our Recovery Methods

Advanced techniques to address various hardware wallet issues

PIN recovery process

PIN Recovery

For forgotten PINs, we utilize specialized brute force techniques and proprietary algorithms to systematically test PIN combinations. Our methods are optimized to prevent device lockout or data loss.

Physical repair process

Physical Repair

For damaged devices, our hardware engineers can repair or replace components like screens, buttons, and circuit boards while maintaining the integrity of the secure element that stores your private keys.

Data extraction process

Data Extraction

In cases of severe damage, we can directly extract encrypted data from the device's memory using specialized equipment. This data is then securely processed to recover your private keys.

Seed phrase recovery

Seed Phrase Recovery

If you have a partial seed phrase, we use advanced algorithms to determine the missing words. For completely lost seed phrases, we can often extract them directly from the device's secure storage.

Firmware repair

Firmware Repair

For devices with corrupted firmware or failed updates, we can restore proper operation using specialized techniques to reflash the firmware without compromising the secure element.

Migration service

Wallet Migration

After recovery, we can help migrate your assets to a new device with enhanced security. We provide guidance on best practices for securing your new wallet and backup procedures.

Common questions about our hardware wallet recovery services

How long does the recovery process typically take?

Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of your case. Simple PIN recoveries can be completed in 24-48 hours, while more complex issues like partial seed phrase recovery or physical repairs may take 3-7 business days. During your initial consultation, we'll provide a more specific timeline based on your situation.

Is my cryptocurrency safe during the recovery process?

Yes, we take extensive security measures to protect your assets. Our recovery lab is a secure environment with limited access, video monitoring, and air-gapped workstations. Our technicians never have direct access to your funds - we only restore access to your wallet. All staff members sign strict confidentiality agreements, and we maintain comprehensive security protocols.

What if you can't recover my wallet?

We operate on a "No Recovery, No Fee" basis. If we are unable to recover access to your wallet, you won't be charged for our recovery service (return shipping fees may still apply). During the initial consultation, we'll honestly assess the likelihood of successful recovery based on your specific situation before proceeding.

Is shipping my device to you secure?

For clients with significant assets, we can arrange for secure courier services with additional security measures.

What information do you need from me for recovery?

The information required depends on your specific issue. Generally, we'll need:

  • The make and model of your hardware wallet
  • A detailed description of the issue (when and how it occurred)
  • Any PIN attempts you remember trying
  • Any partial seed phrase words you may remember (if applicable)
  • Details about the wallet's history (when purchased, firmware version if known)

The more information you can provide, the more efficiently we can recover your device.

What happens after my wallet is recovered?

After successful recovery, we'll:

  1. Contact you to confirm recovery success
  2. Return your device via secure shipping
  3. Provide detailed documentation on how to access your wallet
  4. Offer guidance on setting up improved security for the future
  5. Provide 30 days of free post-recovery support

We recommend transferring your assets to a new wallet with fresh security after recovery for maximum protection.
