Hi,
I am developing a tool that will perform full physical acquisition of Windows Phone7/8,but none of the methods for Android or Windows Mobile (WinCE 6.5 and earlier) seems to be working. The users do not have access to system or app files of the phone. And so far I couldn't find any APIs that have sufficient privileges to access these contents. Can somebody help me??

A good starting point would be to parse the files and data fully/correctly first. Then those of us that are recovering data from Windows Phone devices could spend less time doing it "old school" style.
Cellebrite Analyzer and X-Ways both do a pretty good job parsing the file system from a binary dump but this leaves most the important stuff to be done with external tools/viewers/scripts.
I guess it's being worked on and we will see some results soon… eh RonS? -)

yes, it is coming very soon with SMS, Calls and Contacts.
More data types will come later.

Oxygen is capable to perform logical & pysical dumps with their extraction wizard. Though I've never needed it yet, isn't it sufficient what they do?

Check your details again.
There is no physical extraction solution for Windows Phone devices.

Thanks for the hint, I indeed missed that one.

Cheers,
Ben
