Good morning all.

I have an LG220CM / Tracfone that has a bunch of text messages on them that I need to get off.

I've tried BitPim 1.0.7, and my Cellebrite UFED with no success.

If anyone knows how I can retrieve them, it would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

This phone communication port is locked and to unlock you need a special code from the carrier

Thanks Ron. I'm currently on a call with Tracfone to see if they can assist with the unlock code. Once I get it, based on your experience, what is the best tool to use to collect the data?

It would be a surprise if they will. good luck.
I suggest you perform a file system to get all the files of the phone.

For this, you can use the free BitPim application or the Cellebrite UFED (our tool).

Send me a PM if you want more information

there is a free Trial of UFED Physical for UFED users (in case you were not aware)

Ron,

I had this phone in over a year ago and could not get anything to work with it. My coworker has just got a LG220CM and is trying to avoid taking a lot of pictures to document the data he needs.

We have tried using the Cellebrite Physical and other tools without success. Any suggestions to make it work. I don't show it as one of the supported phones.

Thanks for your help

As mentioned above, these LG models and other TracFone models have their USB ports disabled.

Currently there is no solution although there will be for some of them (older models)

Ron

I was searching the forum for solutions on this topic. Our local law enforcement is trying to get access to an LG Tracfone and was looking to us for help, and so far, I'm coming up empty? They've tried AccessData's MPE+ and it Cellebrite UFED doesn't list it as a supported device. Is there something else they need to do first? RonS mentioned that an unlock code was needed from the carrier. Did anyone have any luck getting the carrier to give you the unlock code (and if so, what exactly do you do with a code once they give it to you?)?
