iPotato Restore Tool
iPotato Restore Tool is a Windows restore station for shops processing multiple fruit phones. Run up to four restore lanes from one station, then let multiple stations share the same restore-file library so large files are downloaded, prepared, and reused across the shop instead of repeated at every bench.
One-at-a-time restore work does not fit a busy bench.
Standard consumer restore tools are built around one connected device and one operator waiting through the process. A refurb bench needs lane visibility, repeatable file selection, shared restore-file storage, and clear status when several devices are moving at once.
A lane-based restore station with reusable files.
iPotato treats each physical cable position as a lane, and each workstation can point at the same network restore-file library. One station can prepare a file, while other stations and future restores reuse that work instead of pulling the same huge file again.
Four lanes on one station, shared files across many stations.
Four-Lane Restore Station
Lane Debug Window
Shared Restore-File Cache
Map, detect, match, restore, and reset.
Map
Assign physical USB cable positions to lanes so the screen matches the restore station on the bench.
Detect
Watch for recovery-mode devices and attach device identity, lane, and restore preparation to the right card.
Share
Use one network restore-file library across multiple stations so big files become reusable shop assets.
Restore
Run the restore path with visible lane status, operation progress, debug logs, completion handling, and reset for the next device.
Without iPotato
- One restore at a time keeps the workstation tied up while other devices wait.
- Restore files may be downloaded or prepared repeatedly at each workstation instead of reused across the shop.
- Operators have less visibility into which device, cable, or restore stage needs attention.
- Detailed logs are available somewhere, but not organized around each lane.
With iPotato
- Up to four restore lanes can be watched from one station-style interface.
- Multiple stations can share one restore-file library while each station keeps its own local prepared cache.
- Each lane shows device identity, file status, current operation, progress, and activity notes.
- Debug details stay one click away without cluttering the main production view.
The pieces behind the restore station.
Lane Assignment
Maps physical USB ports to lane cards so operators can trust what they see on screen.
Restore File Matching
Matches recovery-mode device identity to the correct restore file in the archive.
One Shared Restore Library
Multiple iPotato stations can point at the same network restore-file library so large files are downloaded once and reused anywhere in the shop.
Local File Preparation
Each station can keep local prepared files for restore work so repeated runs do not redo the same copy/extract steps.
Per-Lane Activity
Shows what each lane is doing now: waiting, preparing cache, restoring, finishing, or ready for the next device.
Debug Windows
Keeps detailed lane logs available for troubleshooting without turning the main station view into a wall of text.
Made for repeat restore work.
Refurb benches
Process batches of fruit phones with clearer lane status and reusable restore-file preparation.
Repair operations
Restore sacrificial, test, or customer-approved devices with more visibility into each step.
Shared workstations
Use one network restore-file archive so Station 1, Station 2, and future stations all benefit from the same library.
Built from real restore-station work.
iPotato Restore Tool grew directly from Source Potato’s bench-side restore testing and multi-lane station design work. The goal is practical: make repeat restores easier to see, easier to reuse, and easier to scale from one station to multiple benches without each workstation rebuilding the same restore-file collection.
