WANTED: Someone with a rooted/unrooted virgin system - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I need someone who has an unflashed sgs4g to contact me. It can be rooted but you can't have tried ANY other flashing including Roms or cwm, etc. I need a clean system dump. I will gladly walk anyone through how to do it. Thank you!

I'll be glad to help. Send me the details and I'll get it to you. I have not attempted to flash anything and my phone is only rooted. I don't believe it matters that I'm running a different launcher with widgetlocker, does it?

I just need a clean dump to work off of for dev purposes. Do u know how to dump via cygwin?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

alone,
I think you can deodex dump of the entire rom including the apps. so you will not get any error deodexing the apps separately. that what the vibrant devs are doing.

Anyone who wants to help, here's how. First you need to install adb on your PC and also install Cygwin. Set your phone to USB debugging turned on and hook your phone to PC. Make sure all your drivers are installed, if not windows will ask for them. Now open cygwin and type the following:
Adb shell
Su
dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs BS=4096
dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=/sdcard/cache.rfs BS=4096
Now get those two files from your sdcard, zip them up and post to multiupload and just send me the link. Thanks to everyone for helping.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH WHAT YOU PULL. You have to tar it a certain way for it to work with Odin.And try to leave all the bloat if u can.

Haven't used it. But I am good term, and cmd. So I am sure I could get it going. Wife is going to be at work until 5:30pm, and it's 11am here now. So if you can wait I will give it a shot.
that is if there aren't any others here that can get it to you faster

Can you post downloads to the items you need? Im at working eliminating viruses on peoples computers and don't exactly have time to go looking around for the downloads.

Thank You. Im doing the correct ADB rather than the one I downloaded earlier. Its updating atm then I will be able to get you the dumps.

Any way you could post a download when you get the dump? Just wanted to have a super clean virgin rom if I ever want to flash back to factory.

[SPL] ENG-SPL for the CDMA Hero

Hey guys, thought i'd like to distribute something Toastcfh and i have had for quite some time. its an Eng Spl.
now you may be asking what that is. its pretty much the most awesome dev tool ever! it enables s-off in the bootloader so you can use fastboot and other crazy stuff. so it kinda makes dev'ing easier if trying to resolve a bootloop or kernel panic. I'll give a better explanation when i get back home tonight. so without further ado, here you all go
DOWNLOAD!!!
md5sum: a77a2dee8e903e8f1a18b28b5c5e0b40
All credit goes to Maejrep and Toastcfh for getting this for us
Flash this like you would a radio or a rom.
I dont know what else to say, but LOL
Is this along the same lines as what Regaw is working on?

Humm im on 8242010 nightly, after flashing this sprintVVM fcs. Interesting. Perhaps an APK signing issue? I'll grab a logcat then resign the apk and see what happends.
No idea why, but I rm'ed the apk from /system/app, and killed all traces of it in /cache, and /data/data. Then copied the apk manually using root explorer, set permissions and rebooted and now all is well. Probably just a fluke!

Sweet. Very useful. Thanks.

Lol I asked what it is , I read your explanation and still confused
Sent from my CDMA Hero using XDA App
LMAO.
Darch can confuse people quickly.
Usually I flash whatever Darch posts but this... This scares me =P It's not like a rom or root or even a CDMA Radio where if I screw up I can RUU back to stock... Or can I -_^
Anyways, I'll probably flash this tomorrow This doesn't effect Recovery or anything else correct? I am a mobile warrior so I do my nands and flashing without a PC =)
What does this enable me to do with my phone? Like can I make a flashable zip without the signing? Or does this make it easier to customize stuff?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
This allows you to flash an ***.img file to a specific partition on your phone without making a zip. You can also make a HERCIMG.zip (a zip with multiple images in it ie, system.img, data.img, boot.img, recovery.img) and flash that straight from hboot.
Again, if you don't know what you are doing you could SERIOUSLY f*** up your phone. This gives you all the power you need to flash the wrong thing and ruin your phone. But it is VERY useful if you know what you are doing.

Clean and shiny new phone here... .bin files needed still?

Okay, I had soft-bricked my phone and recovery was not working, so, after a few minutes of tech time with T-Mo they shipped me a new phone.
Even though i called them to cancel the shipment when I managed to get Odin working and get the phone back up...
Long story short - the brand spankin' new device just landed on my desk updating stock apps as I type.
KB5 stock.
Is there anyway to back this up as is before I add CWM? Can I somehow dump it with Odin? I still have not played with Odin enough to know this....
I'd like to preserve the stock rom if it all possible, for 'just in case'
You could pull ur /system/app thru adb or you could use titanium backup.

That I can do, I meant something similar to a nand, the whole system backed up.
Thought it might come in handy... no worries though, grabbing the Kd1 update then I'll root/cwm and nand that... just figured since I had a virgin phone I'd back it up if I could.

Fek, sorry guys, I just got done grabbing the Kies KD1 - literally right before I rad this it finished installing.
I haven't flashed anything, this is still just the stock phone, with the T-Mo/Samsung ROM, upgaded, but not with any custom roms, on it if that will do it, I'll hold off rooting, etc until I can get the sbl and boot pulled if these will still work?

You would have to flash a rooted kernel with Odin to get root then use the sgs kernel flasher to flash the stock kernel if you want it.

im putting all the tools needed together in a single package. soc is a thing of the past... i will need time to test it which means flashing the official firmware and whatever.
once everyone has root, dont ask for cwm... that will seriously put me in a bad mood.

Can someone dump the 5.0.1 Rom zip... I don't need any of the image files just the extracted system.. eg the uploaded pics. I can't get ext4 and ext2 to work properly on my fiances comp and she doesn't like me adding a bunch of stuff to it. I won't have my box back until next week. I'd like to get back into dev asap while I'm still interested. I just need the 5.0.1 [email protected] stock rooted or not doesn't matter. Ive got the ruu of stock 5.0.1 and the m9 dump. I want to try to fix what I see as the only thing wrong with these sense7 roms. Please.
If not I can do it when I get my comp back but if like to get started now. I just can't put Linux on my fiances computer and the Windows tools aren't playing nice with hers atm... If nobody can upload it's cool. Ill get it next week or wait until she goes to work and figure out the compatibility issues with her comp...
