Extract this type of phone with assemble_v501t.py. Tutorial under construction.

TestDisk can be used on either Windows or Linux. It is available for download here. Once you have downloaded TestDisk, use the program to open your current .bin file.

1. When you open a .bin file with TestDisk, you will have the option to select a media. There should only be

   >Disk <your file>

   Press enter to proceed.

2. When asked to select a partition table type, select None

   [None ] Non partitioned media

3. On the following page, press q to quit or select

   [ quit ]

4. In the new menu, move up the menu and select

   [ Analyse ]

5. Press enter to continue with

   [Quick Search]

6. You should now see a partition labeled with a file system like FAT16 or FAT32. Don’t press ENTER. Instead, press p to list files.
7. Press a to select all files.
8. Press C (note the capitalization and hold the shift button!) to copy the selected files.
9. Choose the output folder. Press C when the folder is correct.

You should now have all the extracted files.

Note: For select devices (such as F905i and D905i), you need to select None → Undelete rather than the usual TestDisk procedure.
