Hi bro, very good work Infinity Data Explorer (within the limitations of this tool of course)
I understand that your Data Explorer tool cannot open or dump big partitions information files, so I am asking you now:

1 .. Data Explorer can open DUMP files created with any tool capable of creating DUMP files like Medusa, Z3x, etc ... Exactly what size DUMP files does your tool open to read the dumps of a specific eMMC?
2 .. Exactly which eMMC Chips can you decrypt, do you have a list where I can verify? The USERDATA zone is not encrypted and can be read without problems!
3 .. Infinity Data Explorer can try to decrypt MTK Chips (but all?), SPD (all types of Chip eMMC, including the latest?), Android (Which Android, all simple Chinese including Top-Móbile?) And Chips eMMC of Tablets Amazon, MSI, ASUS, etc ...?
4 .. I have several dumps made in .BIN files with Z3x JTAG simple or pro. FULL DUMP files that include all the complete eMMC partitions with a weight of approximately 7 ~ 8 GB. Here is the USRDATA partition that is the one that you want to open to recover the PhoneBooks data and I want to know if Can I recover the data from images and photos? The problem is that Data Explore does not want me to recognize these BIN files (Not Compatible!).
5 .. I have several eMMC memory dumps by separate partitions, using the MTK Scatter file and doing a Full DUMP of the entire eMMC, all with eMMC E-Soclket. But if I try to open the file separately USERDATA or others, I get an ERROR in window and Data Explorer freezes!
6. Used eMMC chipset: BLU_C6X_KMFNX0012M-B214 / 8GB (@ BGA221) AND SAMSUNG Tablet SM-T210 Chipset with eMMC Chip: KLM8G1WEMB-B031 / 8GB (@ FBGA153)
Some clients want to recover, PhoneBooks, Photos and images, other various messages, the eMMC has been extracted very carefully and placed in E-Socket for its dumps but Data Explorer cannot accept these files.
6.. What type of files do you want to upload to the cloud for your check? The only complete DUMP files to read from the eMMC (ROM1.bin file) or just a particular partition (USERDATA.bin file)? Full Dumps weigh around 8GB. and those of the partitions DATA about 3.9GB. (There are also corrupt memories that only allow full DUMPs to be performed and do not allow reading by "separate partitions" due to eMMC failures).
7.. Do you have any videos Tutorials for Data Explorer, apart from the first of this thread?

OK, thanks for answering, excuse me if I seem to be a novice, some tests I have never done with these software ok, I some little understand, how your software should work, I even congratulate all the Team Data Explorer, what I want to ask is if your software has support for decrypting DUMP files read from JTAG with Z3x or Medusa (because there are also DUMPs that can be done by the InfinityBox CM2MTK tool and DUMPs that can be done by the InfinityBox CM2SPD & CM2SP2 tool)

With Z3x or Medusa JTAG I can do full eMMC memory dumps or I can and do memory dumps by eMMC partitions. BUT, with the tests that I have carried out, Data Explorer does not want to load or recognize these DUMP files (.BIN), at the moment I have only tested with DUMP made on MTK and low and Mid-Range MTK Terminals. I have NOT tested them on Best terminals (Top-Mobiles), I was referring to the latest models of MTK mobiles with the NEW eMMC Chip) and I do not know if possible!

IMPORTANT!
I have just been able to load, read and decrypt these "DUMP Backup JTAG" files to recover Photos and Images, with the old Software "ContentExtractor v2.34" only selecting the (MMC) tab, but I have not been able to recover the "PhoneBook" since It does NOT have that function.
BUG: If I select the MTK tab in this software, it does not allow to load and decrypt these DUMP files and the Software freezes (forced restart is required), I imagine it is the architecture of the DUMP Backup files.

I hope the capture can better explain what I want to do with Data Explorer 1.08 and can you help me to use it to try now to recover the PhoneBooks inside the DUMP: https://prntscr.com/tpbkrc

Thanks, and sorry my inglish Sr...

Hi, I want to add something else! After reading the iNFO Log (Review) of the Data Explorer, I am assuming it only has support for CPU types like MT625x, MT626x and some MT622x and some more in the 2020, then they were updated to have support capability against unknown DUMPs (this was where I was carrying out tests), from this date. In my case I am testing with terminals that have MT6737V and PXA986 processors, it is possible that the latter is not supported by Data Explorer logically, if it is not listed, but perform the test to decrypt the DUMP with the old software "ContentExtractor v2. 34 " and managed to extract the images and photos perfectly well in both. If this somewhat "old software" is capable of decrypting the DUMP MMC of both processors,we assume that your team has the possibility of adding the DUMP MMC inclusion in its great Data Explorer software in the future, we look forward to add this possibility of MMC extraction in Data Explorer and improve it if you see it convenient! It would be one more candy in to the Data Explorer, Thanks Team….

bad luck but Content Extractor is completely discontinued by some reasons. As a bout Data Explorer - yes, more file structures should be added in future but it's not so easy work. Anyway I hope on success.

You can do a lot with those tools but keep in mind that 99% of current devices (starting from Android 6 and up) are factory encrypted. MTK, Qualcomm, SPD and Kirin, doesn't matter. There are some exceptions, like slower/older chipsets or some chinese no-name phones but it's not very common to see. You can dump them using ISP or chip-off methods, but you won't extract any data, or anything usefull out of them.

On top of that, more and more devices uses FBE (file based encryption) as well as F2FS filesystem instead of ext4. It's quite common on Huawei devices. With FBE, each file is encrypted individually, including filenames but you can see some data on that partition unlike with FDE (full disk encryption). You may get some basic data, like account info, lockscreen settings, but not contacts, SMS, photos. That's something that app like this won't be able to fix.

Taking into account the opinion of others, I suspect that your software will also be very obsolete in the short term...
We will try to take advantage of the cost that we got for it in its moment of glory then, Thk Sr.

Thank you, Mr. for the most complete and professional information, it can be concluded then that these new programs (even this one), that is considered useful at the moment, based on the newest and current models (supposedly superior to Android 6), also do not it will get a lot out of them with the new FBE (file based encryption) or F2FS architectures and security. In a short time these programs will be obsolete as well as the "Content Extractor, already obsolete" ... Well let's say that you can still get some benefit positive to take information from old terminals and There are still many made in china with the old securities....

Current version of Data Explorer doesn't seem to support Android dumps at all and instead focused on extracting data from feature phones. It's unlikely that those will be encrypted anytime soon and it can be still very usefull to get data out of them, assuming you're able to create memory chip image. There are lots of cheap feature phones, based on MTK, SPQ/Unisoc, Coolsand, RKT and so on. In the future, there should be more KaiOS based devices as well, so far no encryption on them. There's definatelly some easy money that you can earn here with the right customer base.



If it comes to Android - yes, it's going to be useless for newer devices, especially with file based encryption (mandatory for phones shipped with Android 10). In fact, if you don't have the tools to create a decrypted dump, it already is. If you have such tool, you probably have a better option to "decode" it anyway.



Low-end devices should soon be encrypted using new algorithm (Adiantum) that was developed just for this purpose. It's not as heavy as AES so that'll leave even less Android devices with no encryption at all.

Would it be possible to add an option to extract filesystem or convert raw NAND or NOR dump into a format that could be scanned with a typical recovery tools? Most of those feature phones uses FAT filesystem underneath and such converted would be useful for some people.

I may be wrong, but if raw image has fat inside you don't need any additional conversion, just try to use your other tools with raw image.
But if raw image has another file system I am not sure it will be possible make this kind of conversion
