A while ago, I received an email with an image in the message body. It was attached via URL source. I have read that message on my Android device and saw the image there as well. When I go to the mail now, the image no longer loads - it has been taken down, the URL doesn't work anymore. I need to gain access to that image.
I imagine the Gmail app stores data (even temporarily) somewhere on the device, so I'm looking for a way to extract that image. Here's what I've found so far.
I'm browsing my phone internal memory via my laptop. I have show hidden files option enabled.
Android/data/com.google.android.gm/files is empty.
Android/data/com.google.android.gm/cache has several files like these:
1e4d24dc66d8c27bcfe49ac8c74d285d 2107KB
2b04c4c91cdd6f9507d3b40dca0fce31 10522KB
2fb23268fce84c1fb85382eb0d5fbc7e 10410KB
...
I'm pretty sure the answer lies somewhere in these files. Anyone know a way to extract data from them?
/data/dataisn't accessible fromadbor a PC, without root. Ok, I get that. What about these files I do have access for? Is there a way to extract anything useful from them?/data/dataand hence requires root// 2. Connecting to PC through USB (MTP) doesn't expose underlying filesystem (ext4orf2fs) of internal storage (/datapartition) to PC// IMO your question is a dupe of [1]// No root, no luck
