Hello all,
I have two phones I'm trying to get a physical on. Unfortunately I have not been able to accomplish this, and I need to get into the users password protected folders and deleted data. Both logical and file systems were ran without any issues, but I really need a physical.
Any suggestions? I'm more interested in getting into the S8 which is running Android version 7.0.
I think it can be done, I sent you a PM.
I’m only interested in solutions that I can try on my own, without paying thousands of dollars.
Thanks for the offer though.
There isn't such a thing, good luck!
Well, you may want to start looking for ENGROOT files for both phones which will allow you to gain root access without wiping userdata partition and then you can start physical extraction. I know that for S7Active, ENGROOT file is available and also public.
Good luck.
Depending on the device model, Android version and Android patch level, we also work with engineering boot based methods. The processing is manual, not some click-forensics based stuff. A single mistake is enough to brick the phone and your data is gone forever.
This kind of in-lab work usually has high costs. The costs are way higher for devices where an engboot isn't publicly available, which is the current case for the S8. If it not worth a few thousands dollars, then the case isn't important, why bother with it at all ?! )
Professional forensic unlocking service has its legitimate price - no Rolls-Royce for free. This forum is for professionals, not freeware surfers.

In my understanding freeware surfers are not professionals. This forum is named in the subtitle

Why are you so negative against me?
Many times cheap or free solutions can be excellent, I got nothing against those solutions! On the other hand, many things can't be done without money and time investment, a lot of knowledge, real work and sometimes pretty high technological laboratory costs. Who can't understand this, take a life!

@jamie you are right, I fully support this way of sharing the knowledge, but lately there are too many unprofessional users around, without minimal forensic knowledge, but playing the "tough guy". Unfortunately this has only negative impact on FF (
@TinyBrain all the (living or dead) professionals were newbies once, everybody needs the chance to learn. Thanks for supporting me, but please don't argue with jamie, he is not against you or anybody else, he just tries to keep a good balance here )
