I would not call this outside the realm of this discussion group. :-)
Please do discuss it here if you like.

If you can get the raw data, you can just feed it to one of the
record classes.  I can help you through the code if you need it.

The first step is extracting the data.  I would make a backup of
a working device using the barrybackup GUI, extract the resulting tar
backup file, and compare the raw data of a given record there with
the raw data you can see in the simulator.  The raw data you see in the
backup file is the same data that's on the USB wire.  If the data is in the
same format, or even exactly the same, then it would be worth
coding something up to help automate the forensic work.
