For the last some years we have successfully squirm data from differnt mobile device, such as cell phones, smartphones, tablets, etc. Among devices to be investigate, we came across defective mobile devices (damaged mechanically, by fire or due to being stored in stiff or hostile environmental circumstance) from which digital proof should also be extracted. We have developed several approaches to examining damaged mobile devices which we would like to share with our colleagues.

 

Before examining a damaged mobile device, a forensic explorer must determine w negotiate hat exactly is damaged in the device. It is not essential at all to desolder a memory chip at once and perform any ahead manipulations on it. Experience has evidence  that there are usually simpler solutions for extracting data from damaged mobile repairing institute in Delhi devices.

Let’s take a look at them.

The most common defect in mobile devices received for forensic examination is a broken display. That is, a mobile device is operational but, because of a broken display, doesn’t show any data. The examination of such mobile devices presents no issue. To examine mobile devices with a broken display, we use UFED (Cellebrite Mobile Synchronization LTD) and .XRY (Micro Systemation). We genrate a physical memory dump of a mobile device and extract data (a phone book, calls, SMS messages, graphic files, videos, etc.) from it. Sometimes, when available instrument doesn’t support creating a physical memory dump of a mobile device, we perform a logical extraction of data. In this case, a lot of forensic programs for mobile device analysis can be used. For example, (Oxygen Software Company). Moreover, you can always replace a damaged display with a new one. This makes the examination more high price  and time-consuming, but it is often the only possible solution.
