With the increase in cybercrime cases in recent times, the challenges have escalated immensely. The ongoing research has proved the need for advancement in digital forensics to combat digital crimes. Mobile Forensics has played an important role when it comes to Digital Forensics, ranging from minor offenses like petty theft, shoplifting and trespassing to more severe crimes like identity theft, hacking, murder, rape etc. In such crimes, one of the major challenges faced by investigating agencies is that the mobile phones are found in locked condition. Sometimes, the locked phones could not be bypassed using the routine mobile forensics tools. However, every technology has some limitations and drawbacks; hence, modern problems require new approaches and one of the approaches is the Jumper Pin Point method. The present study will help the reader to know the challenges faced by mobile forensic experts in extracting data from password-protected mobile phones and how the Jumper Pin point method can help in solving the problem. In this study, two password-protected Android mobile phones (Vivo Y15 and Oppo A54) were initially analyzed using routine Mobile Forensic software, but they were unable to bypass the phone security. The chipsets of both phones were available on Passware Kit Mobile 2023. The two suggested methods of the tool to put the phone in boot ROM mode - button combination method and test point method were also not working. Finally, the jumper pinpoint method successfully put the mobile phones into boot ROM mode. The dump was created using Passware Kit Mobile 2023 and the report was generated using Magnet Axiom version 7.6.
