To start extracting data from an Android device it has to be unlocked. If it's locked you can:
- Check if the device has debugging via USB activated.
Create an android backup using adb and extract it using Android Backup Extractor:
java -jar abe.jar unpack file.backup file.tarcat /proc/partitions(search the path to the flash memory, generally the first entry is mmcblk0 and corresponds to the whole flash memory).df /data(Discover the block size of the system).- dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/blk0.img bs=4096 (execute it with the information gathered from the block size).
Use Linux Memory Extractor (LiME) to extract the RAM information. It's a kernel extension that should be loaded via adb.
