Editor’s Note: What’s the Huawei Mobile Student Mode?
Huawei Student Mode is a new function which launched from Huawei Mobile EMUI4.1, Huawei P9 is the first model that equipped with this new function.
How the Student Mode has an influence on a forensic investigation?
1, Smartphone can not open the USB debugging mode on developer mode.
2, Forensic computer can not identify the target smartphone.
Now let’s see a real case about how to extract WeChat data from a smartphone under the student mode.
General thinking solution:
1, Make use of the backup function integrated by Huawei mobile
However, when trying to make a backup, it prompts that the backup function can not use under student mode.
