Yeah…I just saw that a few days ago, but my subscription ran out about a month ago and I'm waiting to see if my employer has the budget to renew. Plus I've been working on this since before the Cellebrite update. It's been a good learning experience none the less and hopefully it helps someone who doesnt have cellebrite or other software that can decode the Samsung phones.

If you want someone to decode that binary, you will probably have to send them the actual files directly instead of trying to decypher the ASCII version you posted.

Hi gkelley!

I d like to learn and do it by myself )

Now Im using winhex to read the "SENT" file and decoding SMS with PDUSPY tool. There's no info about date and time, i think it's on other file called "SENT.HDR"

Any idea what can i do with the "phonedb_data.00" file? I see fragments of differents SMS (beginning wth a header) all mixed up, like this… http//img232.imageshack.us/img232/442/phonedbdata.jpg

What I typically do in situations like this is to send messages at a known date and time to the same phone, or similar phone and then work with the binary to figure out where the date is stored. If you send multiple messages at different times with the exact same message from the exact same phone, you can help narrown down the areas that changed, and hopefully hold the date.

UFED Physical supports decoding these files from the Samsung s5230 and many additional models from this family and even decodes deleted SMS messages from these files.

Since UFED PA also shows you where every decoded field is taken from (in HEX dump), you can use this to learn too.

If you want, I can send you a screen shot of the HEX dump of such an SMS with decoding of the SMS PDU fields.

Perhaps you can post the image here, maybe?

Are you saying that UFED PA can decode the phonedb_data.00 file ?
