IDK bout dumping f/w but, adb pull /system works for a system dump!

adb pull / works for the entire phone, but then you'll pull your sdcard contents also
just do adb pull /data/* and adb pull /system
Also, what baseband version did the 4G come with.

All I need is a sysdump and I can port the build to the Vibrant. the modem and kernel our a no go on the vibrant though.
I've got a test rom already built for the 4G, but it's based off KAH

Is there any way I can zip a copy of my /system and upload it, all from my phone? I am nowhere near a computer, but if i could do it from my phone with root explorer, I can upload it ASAP.

Didn't copy the data though, its just the System. I'll be so glad when we can deodex this thing once CWM comes out.

Got the dump. Thank you

I can deodex it now for you. you just wont be able to flash it.

[02/10/13][TOOL][NANDROID] md5 mismatch FIXER

if there is a thread that the same with this then inform me and i will personally lock this one
kindly move this thread if it was in the wrong section. :laugh:
okay, i wrote this simple script to easily fix and regenerate the md5sum of our Nandroid backup to avoid mismatching when restoring it.
Please don't blame me if anything happens on your phone by doing this.
Requirements:
- Terminal Emulator
- Brain.apk
- Experience on flashing
Instruction
- flash the Nandroid_md5_fixer.zip thru cwm or stock recovery
- go to terminal emulator and type "md5fix"
- select your damaged backup and wait until it finish!
02/10/13 UPDATE!
http://qfs.mobi/f397801
- fix bootloop problem
- compatible with console provided by Aroma File Manager
NOTE: avoid using 'space' when renaming backup's folder. It must be in one word.
i hope this will help you
goodluck

Good Work!

7zip no luck but winrar works.
So the script recalculates the md5 sums. this assumes, that when you switch between various builds of "CWM recovery shell" the md5 calculation somehow calculates kinda "wrong" md5 sums.
a very useful tool. :good::good:

I flashed the zip then used terminal emulator. Typed "md5fix" and responded, "sh: md5fix: command not found"

Image not found (jb).img

I have followed everything to a 't' and took the jb image 'renamed it' to (basically took out jb and kept 'recovery' and '.img') IS THAT CORRECT?
and when I ran the command for the image recovery it says image not found.
I even tried TWRP image and renamed... Same problem-
I know I posted some stupid stuff and I apologize - i have read a lot more into rooting and figured a lot out, but this is am @ a loss... Not sure what else to...

the image file needs to be in the same place that you are running fastboot from. for example i have C:/andriod abd where all my adb/fastboot drivers and .exe and such are and to flash a blob/img file i must put the file in that same folder because thats where fastboot looks for the blob/img.
ide bet money that this is your problem. and what fastboot command are you using? It would be helpful if you could be more descriptive of the steps you have tried

BTW-THANKYOU soo much for hekping
I will put more information up and pics to help-people see what I see and are doing
I actually made a file folder (I saw it on a YouTube video) and put all of the files needed for the recovery;for example
"rocovery1"=file folder (in c drive) and that folder includes the two(2) adb(.dll) files / the fastboot file (but my 'fastboot' file doesn't have an exe after it) does that matter-/and then of course the image file... ALL OF THAT IS IN A folder I named... should I have not done that? If not where would I find my adb files? Better yet how are they supposed to be listed?

Asus uses .blob NOT .img

Even if it's CWM or TWRP (either one would be '.blob') NOT '.img' - either one?

Recovery is through fastboot, and fastboot for asus requires .blob. So yes, its blob irregardless.

You have to cd (change directory) first. So open terminal than type cd.
Than if i remember right you keep tapping the space bar until you see the adb folder.Once there than run the adb commands.
Yep i'm pretty sure that's right because in Windows you tap the tab key
If i helped hit the thanks button!

Do you have adb in the directory you are in ??? I'm wiling to help but you need to answer this...
if you don't have adb installed it's pointless, 2 possibilities either you have adb installed but are not currently in the directory where it resides (you then need to navigate to the right directory using the cd command) or you don't and you need to install it and then go to that directory.

that's just not possible with the error message you get...you either not in the right directory or it's not installed.
Go to the directory where you think adb is and type ls and post the results.
Are you sure your USB debugging is on

He is right though. That error message can only mean it's not in the directory or you typed the name wrong. Are you sure there's not something simple you're overlooking? Sometimes we geeks over think things. I'm not a mac user but that error message is pretty clear.

As Redpoint said if you want help you need to try to follow instructions. you posted adb_mac after i asked you to perform an "ls"in your directory so that made sense as far as getting a "no such file or directory" error if you execute by doing ./adb. Either it's not there, it's corrupted,there is typo or wrong directory, that's the only time you will get this error maybe you just want to try re-installing adb in your directory of choice.
go to directory where adb reside type "ls" and post a screenshot

weird adb sideload problem

Hi guys
After a few weeks on f2fs i decided to revert back y filesystem to ext4. Everything goes well except sideloading new rom to my device ( as its completely wiped ) Everything is now formated to ext4. Then the problem starts..
When I'm trying to sideload the rom i get error 'cannot read' even though I've put rom in my adb folder and my device is connected in sideload mode.
If someone could help me via team viewer ( free software allowing you to use my PC from yours PC ) it would be super great.
Thanks

Must give the path to your ROM zip. Your cmd prompt runs from c: \users\koppa but the ROM is not there.
You can't put the ROM in the adb folder. That only works if. You haven't added adb to your environment variable path and you have cd to that location
To get this to work either put the ROM in c: \users\koppa or cd to your adb folder or give the full path in the command

A neat little trick with Windows and cmd is to back out of the folder you are in. So, if the path was C:\Users\toster jp\adb, back out to the C:\Users\toster jp folder. Hold shift and right click the adb folder. Select Open command window here. Then, cmd automatically cd to the proper directory. Then your adb sideload rom.zip will work.
