Making physical dumps of Android device without rooting
It may seem unusual, but it is possible to make a physical dump of an Android device without rooting and it does not require JTAG and Chip-off methods. It can be done with the devices produced by LG and Samsung and also with the devices with the MediaTeck and Spreadtrum processors. As an example, we will consider the process of making a physical dump of an Android device, produced by LG company, using the Oxygen Forensic. The program Oxygen Forensic has been already described previously in Chapter 1, SIM Cards Acquisition and Analysis.
Getting ready
Charge the battery of the device fully and switch it off. Download and install the Oxygen Forensic
program. This program was described in Chapter 1, SIM Cards Acquisition and Analysis and earlier in this chapter in the Android devices acquisition with Oxygen Forensic recipe.
