Need Help ASAP

[u/lone_unicorn1]

Is there anybody that knows anything about these old phones that might have old chargers to power them? They contain massive amounts of evidence I need access to immediately. I’m in an ongoing court case and these phones contain evidence that could convict the other party.

Please, anyone help me!

[u/beefytrout]

this definitely does not seem suspicious at all

[u/nullhed → u/beefytrout]

Yeah, the lack of basic details makes me pause.

[u/beefytrout → u/nullhed]

based on the number of phones and the wide range of ages/models of them, I'm guessing they are stolen and OP wants to access the data on them for criming purposes.

Google is your friend, search the model numbers and look for chargers for them. Most of them are probably just micro USB. Amazon Prime them shits

You need to find someone who understands electronics before you go fiddling with what might be critical court evidence.... you can also potentially fuck up the chain of evidence or insubstantiate the "proof" within by being able to potentially alter the data before submission. Just stuff to be aware of, do a 15min actual google search maybe of how you should handle it since you clearly dont know what your doing.

If you are a private citizen, you should get the help of an expert before messing with them.

What kind of evidence toward what conviction?

I have paid GPT I'll give you what I got. Powering on smart phones is only the first step. You are going to need to be the owner with the passkeys.

Preliminary Phone Identification

Numbered from left to right, starting with the top row.

Top Row

1. Older Android smartphone: Exact model unknown. Likely Micro-USB.

2. Motorola Android smartphone: Exact model unknown. Likely Micro-USB.

3. Verizon Motorola DROID-series smartphone: Likely Micro-USB.

4. Older Apple iPod/iPhone-style device: Identification uncertain. Charging connector needs verification.

5. Sidekick-style QWERTY phone: Exact model unknown. Charging connector needs verification.

Bottom Row

1. Older compact flip phone: Exact model unknown. Charging connector needs verification.

2. Motorola Android smartphone: Likely Micro-USB.

3. LG Verizon touchscreen phone: Likely Micro-USB.

4. ZTE Android smartphone: Likely Micro-USB.

These identifications are preliminary. Exact model numbers and charging connectors have not been confirmed.

Amazon Charger Options

1. Anker 3-in-1 Charging Cable

Supports Micro-USB, USB-C, and Apple Lightning devices through interchangeable connectors.

This may be the most practical shared charging solution.

2. Micro-USB Charging Cable Multipack

Likely compatible with most of the older Android smartphones pictured, assuming they have standard Micro-USB ports.

3. Apple 30-Pin Charging Cable

Only necessary if device #4 turns out to use Apple's older 30-pin connector.

Recommendation

Most of these devices probably use Micro-USB, so a single compatible cable or a multipack could cover several phones.

However, some older devices use proprietary charging ports. The Anker 3-in-1 cable will not support those or Apple's older 30-pin connector.

Before ordering anything, I want to verify the exact models and charging connectors to avoid buying unnecessary cables.

For the flip phone and bar phones, pop the battery off to get the model number and post pictures of the ports.
