missing basic and normative tools: - dump dirtree from an e2fs filesystem - extract encryption keys from device and decrypt userdata image - access device logical partitions via flashing cable other stuff the encryption key and decryption situation just looks like a lot of work to me, more than often makes sense for me nowadays, sadly. my data is likely to go on hold, making space for functionality. future note: back up /data while it is decrypted !! i’m trying to archive this stuff, so it’s still queued. one thing i found is it possible to disable encryption on these phones. i think that was in the vendor docs, not certain. another thing i found is mtkclient has a command for viewing logs. wonder what it shows.
