Mobile phones have become an indispensable tool in today's modern world. In criminal investigations, digital evidence plays a crucial role, and as law enforcement officials, we understand the significance of preserving data integrity. Given the vulnerabilities of mobile phones to various external threats, we adhere to specific protocols to ensure the extraction of data from mobile devices without tampering with the original hash values. Court-approved tools such as UFED4PC and Oxygen Forensics are utilized to extract data, while physical extraction remains the ideal method in mobile forensics. However, due to the increasing levels of encryption, obtaining physical extraction from the latest smartphones, which employ File-Based Encryption (FBE), has become nearly impossible. Nevertheless, in some cases, chipset-based full file system extraction can be achieved, aiding in the recovery of deleted data from smartphones. This paper shares the author's experience in attempting to extract data from two devices of the same make and model but with different Android OS version and Security Patch, leading to unexpected results during the full file system extraction. The insights provided in this paper will assist other digital forensic experts in similar data extraction scenarios and also aid mobile phone manufacturers in refining their firmware.
