I have conducted a logical and partial extraction of a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra using Cellebrite Inseyets UFED, as the phone model is not compatible for a FFS via Turbo Link. Unfortunately, the extraction did not retrieve any SMS messages. Instead, I received several thousand files sequentially named 000001_sms_backup, with sizes ranging from approximately 20KB to nearly 60KB. I suspect these files are Android backups of individual text messages. However, upon examining the hex data of each file, I have not been able to identify any recognizable text message content. I would appreciate any guidance on how to extract the actual text messages from these backup files. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Hi,
Try decompressing the file using zlib in python.
