In this guide we'll show you how to run an extraction from your computer. Please have your computer, phone, extraction code and USB cable available while using this guide for your extraction.
Some Preparation Tips:
Make room on your computer. Your computer should have ~50GB of space for an Android extraction, or 150-200GB for iPhones (average). If you need more space, please have an 256GB+ SSD external hard drive or thumb drive available.
Make sure that you have enough USB ports (2-3) on your computer to simultaneously connect the power, phone and additional storage, if needed.
Plan for the extraction to take 1-1.5 hours. The extraction time can vary depending on factors like, phone age, computer/HD speed or the USB cord.
Make sure the USB cable supports data transfer. Some low-cost cables from gas stations or supermarkets only charge the phone and do not allow for data transfer.
