The script from Mattia that is mentioned above can capture all of these commands for you with a nice GUI. I like to run some ADB commands to the device to ensure I extracted all information and that I am aware of what exists on the Android.Extract cloud data – IF YOU HAVE AUTHORITY! My tools of choice for this are Physical Analyzer and Elcomsoft.Make sure you open the extraction prior to returning the device to ensure the data is not encrypted!.If a Full File System is not possible for a specific model, verify the chipset and try Android Qualcomm/Qualcomm Live under Generic profiles.These are my preferred tools, others can be used as well. Obtain a Physical or Full File System extraction with Cellebrite UFED, Premium or Premium ES.Mattia Epifani’s Android Triage script.Install ADB on your forensic workstation h ttps://.A reboot will put the device into a BFU (before first unlock) state and may be difficult or impossible to acquire without the passcode.
