eLab Insights for Public Defenders: KaiOS Now Supported for Extraction

Millions of phones running KaiOS can now be forensically extracted when they previously couldn’t if you have a case where a device used KaiOS now is the time to get previously hidden digital evidence from the device.

This upgrade allows investigators to revisit older cases and potentially uncover new evidence—evidence that can overturn wrongful convictions.

Follow us for more insights in the future. See more at the Digital Evidence Toolbox.

eLab Insights for Public Defenders: New Capabilities for Feature Phones

Have an old device that is older than most smart phones that you were told couldn’t be extracted? Recent advances in forensic technology now allow for more extensive data recovery from feature phones.

These devices once offered limited extraction due to simple operating systems and minimal software support, but improved tools now make deeper analysis possible that could uncover new evidence that was previously available.

NEW!
Next insight is more on extraction levels and 3rd party KaiOS phones, follow us and stay in the loop. See more at the Digital Evidence Toolbox.

Every digital trace tells a story. But without the tools to find it, truth stays hidden.

At eLab Digital Forensics, we bring the technical firepower—so public defenders can bring the truth to light. That’s why we support the Digital Evidence Innocence Initiative : to expand access to digital evidence technical knowledge and resources to prevent and overturn wrongful convictions across the country.

One step changed everything.

Why Digital Evidence Won’t Wait—and How Mishandling Costs Cases

At eLab Forensics, we repeatedly see cases where crucial mobile data, cell site provider records, or video footage existed—but was overlooked or lost because defense teams didn’t act quickly enough. Delay can mean missing the evidence that could change everything.

⚠️ Digital evidence is time-sensitive.

App data expires. Cloud tokens lapse. Providers delete logs on a rolling basis. And if your request doesn’t use the right language or forensic terms? You may never get what you actually need.

✅ The good news?

Best practices and standards for defense teams do exist—and we’ve made them available in the eLab Toolbox.

Whether you're reviewing phone data, requesting records, or assessing a Cellebrite UFED report, our toolbox gives you the practical, defensible steps to take—right now.

🧰 Don’t guess. Don’t wait.

Use the eLab Toolbox to guide your next digital review the right way—before the data disappears.

A Roadmap to Freedom—Built for the Digital Age

As co-founders of Digital Innocence, our team at eLab Forensics helped create the first post-conviction digital evidence review criteria—because when technology evolves, the fight for justice must evolve with it.

Too many wrongful convictions remain untouched—not because the person isn't innocent, but because critical digital evidence was never considered, misunderstood, or inaccessible at the time of trial.

That’s why we built a framework designed specifically for public defenders and post-conviction teams to:

🔍 Re-examine flawed or outdated digital forensics

📱 Recover overlooked or misinterpreted mobile data

🧰 Apply current, hands-on solutions to surface new exculpatory evidence
Here’s something most defenders don’t realize:

🚨 The NDCAC—a law enforcement-only hub—has historical cell data and records keys, from as far back as approximately 2012, that could provide missing data may hold key location evidence that proves innocence.

This isn’t just a second look. It’s a second chance.

👉 We’re here to bring new technical pathways to truth—where none existed before.

eLab Insights for Public Defenders: Watch Extraction Levels—Especially on Older iPhones

Have an extraction from Law Enforcement? Pay attention to the extraction level used and when it was performed. Many older Apple devices, A5 to A11 chipsets, can now be fully extracted thanks to advances like Checkm8, a powerful exploit enabling full file system access, which has more digital evidence than a lower level extraction.

This includes devices like the iPhone 4s through iPhone X era, certain iPads, and Apple Watch Series 1–3 just to name a few.

eLab Forensics – Mobile Device Unlock & Data Recovery

When critical digital evidence is locked behind a damaged, disabled, or password-protected mobile device, the entire case can stall.
That’s where eLab Digital Forensics steps in.

🔓 Mobile Device Unlock & Advanced Data Recovery

Our lab specializes in extracting high-value digital evidence—even when traditional tools fail:

• Screen-locked or disabled devices
• Damaged phones (cracked, no-power, liquid exposure, board-level issues)
• Broken charging ports or battery failures
• Potential deleted data recovery depending on length of time (messages, photos, app data, logs)
• Chip-level access & forensic data extraction
• Secure chain of custody & court-ready documentation

Whether it’s for criminal defense, post-conviction relief, insurance litigation, or civil disputes, our team combines certified forensic examiners with board-level microsoldering specialists to recover the evidence that matters most.

Why it Matters

Digital evidence can verify alibis, disprove claims, validate timelines, and uncover details that change case outcomes.
If a device is inaccessible, that evidence might as well not exist.
We fix that.

eLab Insights for Public Defenders: How EXIF Data Helps Investigations

EXIF data can help organize photos chronologically and may show the location where a photo was taken. This makes EXIF extremely valuable in legal investigations.

Tools like PixelPeeper can help review EXIF data, but a trained forensic expert provides the most reliable analysis.
