[DEV] Rogers Infuse owners, we still need one last thing! - July 30, 2011

Without YOUR dump, there won't be any Gingerbread based mods or ROMs for your phone. SuperOneClick doesn't work on the Rogers Infuse, but we do have a method to root. If you have a shiny new Rogers Infuse in hand, please join the #Infuse4G irc channel so we can work with you to obtain the necessary dumps. You'll need to connect using an irc client like xchat.
How to set up adb
If you don't already have adb working on your computer, you'll need to set it up. First download and install the Java JDK. Then download and extract the Android SDK. In the unzipped folder, open "SDK Manager.exe". A prompt should come up with a list of items to install. I recommend rejecting everything except "Google USB driver package", "Android SDK Tools", and "Android SDK Platform-tools". Once those are installed, you're ready. Most people add adb to their path as well for easier access, but you can do that later.

Take a dump and send it to me quickly?

at first i thought it was an actual tutorial on how to take a dump

I live in Minnesota. If I had enough spare time I'd just drive to Canada to try and get one

LOL. I thought you was supposed to leave them. I guess it only matters that "the dump" happens though.

Without YOUR dump, there won't be any Gingerbread based mods or ROMs for your phone. Alright, let's get started. It's not that hard.
1) First you will need to root your device. SuperOneClick should work.
2) If you don't already have adb working on your computer, you'll need to set it up. First download and install the Java JDK. Then download and extract the Android SDK. In the unzipped folder, open "SDK Manager.exe". A prompt should come up with a list of items to install. I recommend rejecting everything except "Google USB driver package", "Android SDK Tools", and "Android SDK Platform-tools". Once those are installed, you're ready. Most people add adb to their path as well for easier access, but you can do that later.
3) On your now rooted phone, go to Settings > Applications > Development and turn on USB debugging. After you do that, plug your phone in to your computer.
4) Now open a command prompt on your computer and cd to your "android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" directory. This will allow you to run adb without adding it to your path.
5) In the command prompt, type "adb devices" without quotes to make sure your phone is connected properly. If it is, it should be listed in the command prompt.
6) Now copy and paste the following commands into the command prompt and wait for each one to finish after pressing enter. Some of the commands will take a little while to run.
Code:
adb shell
su
A Superuser prompt should now pop up on your phone that you need to accept. You should see # instead of $ in the command prompt now. Continue on.
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bin bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml2 of=/sdcard/infuse_gb.pit bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml4 of=/sdcard/Sbl.bin bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/param.lfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/zImage bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/stl10 of=/sdcard/dbdata.rfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=/sdcard/cache.rfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096
exit
exit
7) Connect the phone to your computer as a mass storage device.
8) Copy all 9 files we just created from your internal SD card to your computer.
9) Zip those suckers up, post the zip to MultiUpload or something, and link us to it. You're done!
If you need further assistance, please join the #Infuse4G channel at http://webchat.freenode.net/
If anyone thinks of anything else I should add to the guide or if anything needs correcting, let me know.

[Q] Rom Backup

Has anyone done a backup of the Skyrocket using the "DD" command?
I've been doing the "Roto-backup" of my devices, but I can't figure out the proper commands for Gingerbread.
Here's the URL to RotoBackup as a reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850359
If there's a better way - bring'er on!!
Thanks!!

Figured it out.
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblock0p8 of=/sdcard/boot.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/system.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
Seems to backup the device. I did notice the KIES will do the same thing and give you a corrupted firmware fix. Haven't tried it yet.

just got my skyrocket and never owned a galaxy phone before(though i did use rotobackup on my galaxy tab way back when), why don't you do a nandroid backup using CWM?

[RECOVERY]ZTE V11A/V71A HC3.2 - CWM recovery

So guys.
Here is my humble CWM recovery, tested on 7 inch. Nandroid backup seems to work and flashing also. External SD card is used for reading.
Mounting of card to USB is not working yet.
Colors are now really fixed, including refresh.
Select is also now fixed and short press is working.
I am not responsible if you make some bricks to build yourself a new house. Anyhow chances of bricking are quite low, worst case is that your recovery will not boot and that's it.
I suggest that you make backup of your recovery partition before you start with dd or whatever so that you can flash it back in case something is not ok.
To flash:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
and
Code:
adb reboot recovery
to get to recovery
In the archive is my /device folder if someone wants to play some more.
I got the CM9 ICS booting into Launcher!!!

One more in for future needs.

Great to have mate, thanks a lot for your work.

I'll tell these guys you have a working version for rhe 7",

How can I backup? what do i have to type?
Thanks for your work!

You can make backup for example like this and if something fails you can flash it back directly in fastboot.
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

That will actually write img's to the partitions.
Backup is done this way
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot_backup.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/recovery_backup.img
jakaka you have sources now on utkanos git. You can contact him if you need any help to make backup to internal sdcard work.

Any progress on CM9?
Technically speaking You could probably contact MR Green from Cyanogen, He is in charge of the hp touchpad Which has the same qualcomm and adreno Chipset . Just an idea

Hi, I'm following your guide and the one in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473555&page=1, but I seem to be stuck in the installation of CWM.
I succeded in rooting the Vodafone Smart Tab 10, as busybox tells so.
Then I issued this command:
C:\Users\...\android>fastboot flash recovery v10_cwmrecovery.img
sending 'recovery' (6214 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... OKAY
Rebooting the tablet in recovery mode always gets me to the Android System Recovery <3e>: wasn't I supposed to be shown the clockworkmod recovery system? If so, what am I doing wrong?
I also tried with Utkanos' v11a version, but with the same result...
Thanks to anyone who will help me
Bye
Marco
[SOLVED] I solved using the software downloaded from http://wwwen.zte.com.cn/endata/mobile/Italy/, as suggested here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473555&page=59. Moreover, in that same thread (some days around the ones in page 59... ) I found a suggestion about removing some system files to avoid the loading of the stock kernel. I didn't do that, but in case anyone needs it, that could be another solution

Stuck in a soft brick

Been on the site for a few years modding my phones, just found out that phones are a lot easier, the download of the room got corrupted and my own complacency from changing rooms on my phone so many times left my scooping to do a nandroid, dumb i know. So my tab sits at the splash screen, its unlocked and rooted, i was able to get into CMD but that no longer works after trying a one click brick fix, i can use Vol - and pow to get to that menu which recently list one potion as well, it now only has fast boot and wipe data, and with Vol + and power the screen goes black and the computer asks for vtx(?) drivers. Any help on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated, thanks

flash cmw using fastboot and adb push your desired rom to your tablet's internal memory and flash with cmw?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T

was working on that on my laptop but it's so cluttered with roms/mods/drivers from the phone, just switched to a nice clean comp going to work on it from here, hopefully it'll help, also not very experienced with adb, but there's enough tut's and advice on here so it shouldn't be to hard, thanks for replying

ok, I flashed CMW with fastboot, pushed the rom I wanted onm and flashed that with cmw, it installed and it didn't help, still sit's at the splash screen, I'm stumped

go into CWM
and use following ADB commands:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 bs=100 count=1
Enter
Wen this is ready the next one
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=16 count=1
Enter
That should be it

ok, ran those commands and nothing happened, don't know if this shows anything of signifigence:
~ # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 bs=100 count=1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 bs=100 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
100 bytes (100B) copied, 0.005003 seconds, 19.5KB/s
~ # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=16 count=1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=16 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
16 bytes (16B) copied, 0.004434 seconds, 3.5KB/s
also tried installing the rom again, I looked through the folders with adb quick push, not sure if it shows files or just folders, but all I see is folders, no files at all in any of them

you can try this unbrick tool
http://www.4shared.com/zip/7XYW-4c4/WSG_UnBricker_TF300T_V102.html
This will flash the ww.30 Version.

sadly no luck again, this is the one I tried before that removed my cold boot option from the vol - power menu, and removed cwm as well, this is frustrating, thanks for helping out though, I'd love to get this back up and running

Have you tried flashing a stock rom through CWM?

tried a stock deodexed rom, nothing, but I did find something that may be causing problems, I noticed errors on the unbricking app, then on ADB Quick Push I checked the last tab and saw this
"Devices found:
0123456789ABCDEF
Failed to mount as R/W"
if I don't have r/w access it's probably blocking the unbricking from writing the files needed, I tried using adb to change rights and it comes up with this:
"~ # mount -o remount,rw /system
mount -o remount,rw /system
mount: can't find /system in /proc/mounts
~ #"
I'm fastbooting in the cwm + root so I should be able to change it, and it was indeed rooted before the issues, or am I way of track with this r/w thing?

I'm starting to think there's something bigger going on behind the scene's here, the tab isn't retaining anything I do, all memory is gone, every restart it forgets where the clockwork mod folder is until I go into cwm and go into the folder then it shows up, when I fix the permissions under advanced in cwm, it keeps them until it reboots, and now I recall when it started doing all this I took it out of the leather case and the corner of the screen had come out of the casing, perhaps something jogged loose, I'll pop it open and give it a look I guess

thanks to everyone who helped me work on this issue, the problem has been solved, the onefix tool wasn't pushing through and erroring, another user had same problems and resolved issues through fastboot, using his steps it fixed my issues as well, thanks again everyone, post that fixed my tab http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29142627#post29142627

[REQUEST] Fast, Small Dump of NAND

Specifically, for reasons I'm too tired to elaborate on, would anyone with Lollipop mind running for me the following command as root and uploading the resulting file?
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/bootstuff.img bs=512 count=6079 skip=131328
Thanks.

I'm going to bump this because I'm trying to help someone who's bricked, and they need it quickly.
