Ktdumper

Ktdumper is a tool for extracting data from feature phones that are compatible with the Foma debug adapter, which includes all Docomo phones and select SoftBank phones. Please note that ktdumper will not work unless you have the Foma debug adapter.

Ktdumper is compatible with Linux and WSL (Windows System on Linux). It can be used as a command line tool or as a live Linux iso with a GUI.

Ktdumper Command Line

Make sure your phone is connected to the PC (if using WSL, you will need to bind your USB device)
Download the ktdumper repository from Github
Navigate to the main ktdumper folder, where the code will be executed.
You can execute the following commands

NAND (contains user data, downloads, etc.)

sudo ./ktdumper.sh [insert phone model] dump_nand

NOR

sudo ./ktdumper.sh [insert phone model] dump_nor

JAVA Folder (only works on select Mitsubishi/Fujitsu phones)
```
sudo ./ktdumper.sh [insert phone model] dump_java
```

Sample For D904i

sudo ./ktdumper.sh d904i dump_nand

Reading Data

yaffs-tools

Download the yaffs-tools repository from Github
Look in the /config folder for the config file that matches your data based on phone model and memory type (MLC or SLC)
Fill in the following command based on the file you are trying to extract
```
python extract.py <bin file> <output folder> <config>
```

If the data you expect does not appear in the output folder, you can introduce the following arguments:

  -d, --show-deleted, --no-show-deleted
                        Show deleted files in DELETED subfolder.
  -m, --show-missing, --no-show-missing
                        Show entries with missing parents in MISSING subfolder.
  -u, --try-undelete, --no-try-undelete
                        Try to restore latest version of a file marked as deleted.
  -s, --mix-spare, --no-mix-spare
                        Mix spare using filepath '[input (without extension)].oob'.

Example: N-04B MLC

python extract.py -m -u -s onenand_mlc.bin output_dir config/config_n04b_mlc.json

Gathering and Submitting Dump Info

Once you've dumped your games, it's time to generate and submit metadata to a preservation project for validating and cataloging. See the dump submission instructions for more information.
