Forensic analysis and diagnostics of Android devices over USB
Plug in an Android phone with USB debugging enabled and PhoneVitals collects its specifications, checks that the device is consistent with itself, and measures the condition of its components.
- Authenticity: IMEI check digits, agreement between the identities the Android partitions declare, Verified Boot and bootloader state, Samsung Knox fuse, and hardware key attestation from the secure environment.
- Health: battery cycles and remaining capacity, internal storage wear, real CPU, RAM, storage and display figures read from the kernel.
- Functional tests and live sensor charts: accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, light, proximity, barometer, GNSS satellites, touch.
No root is required and nothing is installed on the phone: a small helper runs from a temporary folder and is removed at the end of the session.
PhoneVitals is an aid to understanding a phone's condition, for example before buying or selling it. Its results are indicative and provided as is, without warranty of any kind; they are not a certification, and the authors accept no liability for decisions based on them or for any damage arising from its use.
USB access needs the adb-support interface, which is not connected automatically:
sudo snap connect phonevitals:adb-support
The automatic loudspeaker test listens through the computer's microphone, which needs:
sudo snap connect phonevitals:audio-record
