In my case, I first connected to the tablet using ADB and examined files in the filesystem, found suspicious packages, decompiled them and later checked ROM dump to verify that the backdoor is pre-installed. Some chipsets (like MediaTek) support "uploading" data from device storage to PC using a proprietary Windows utility and USB cable.

You download the tool and Windows driver from Google, then you edit USB VID/PID in driver's config so that it matches your device, then you install drivers, conenct device using USB and use adb command line tool.
