For newer iOS devices, I was under the impression that if a passcode is set and the screen is locked, the USB host can't access the contents of the device until the passcode is entered. However, once the screen is unlocked, iTunes on the host can obtain tokens to automatically unlock the device later on.
Do newer Android devices also have something similar to this?
- drivebyacct2 14y agoYeah, not sure when, but it's been the case that the MTP/UMS was unavailable if the lock screen was locked (with a pattern/pin/pw). I'm not sure if that also applies to adb. (If it doesn't, then the protection is useless since adb can pull data).
- gwillen 14y agoI think the theory is supposed to be that you don't enable adb unless you know what you're doing. (As far as I can recall, adb works fine with the screen locked. The fact that I don't know for sure suggests that I do not, in fact, know what I am doing...)
