I don't think so. If the phone is up and the correct code is entered, it should be decrypted completely. Except, if there was some additional encryption applied to the SD-Card.

You can find it on github under the link I provided. It is a tool that uses the ADB protocol to transmit the screen and other data from the phone to your PC. It communicates with android-tools if you want. However if you have access to the phone it does not make much sense to use it, as you can just ues the phone directly. > It's weird, this was fairly easy on my old Razr.

If it would be encrypted, you would not have access to the card at all. So no folders to see. Usually, disks/cards that are encrypted do not even show up as having a file system so the card will not be mounted and readable at all. As you say that you have access to the folders I guess there is just nothing in there. Except of course, that you have the phone of a super-hacker-secret-agent who uses tools to let you access his device but hide the data from you... ;-) m4110c -- mailto: [email protected]
