[Material]S-off/on Partition Dumps

since the s-off thread is so long with all the discussion going on...
I like to create a new thread for all the materials related to s-off.
There is my partition dumps from my s-off htc evita (htc one xl / att/rogers ht one x)
mmcblk0p from 1 -38 excluding
33 system
22 recovery
34 cache
35 userdata
36 fat
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tmpa7i7ibjy0ciy/lnAD6aSvBS
include:
s-off partitions from niceppl
"this is dumped from a supercid, 1.85 and cleanrom 2.1 s-off phone just fyi."
s-on partitions from dharani1234
"here are the partitions from an unlocked bootloader ,rooted RUU - 1.85 with superCID."
I have to replaced my imei sn and mb for the s-off partitions dumps.
with
000000000000000
999999999999
8888888888888
in 4-6 partitions...so if you see those, you know what they are...

I'm trying to mount dd images of the partitions in /dev/block on my Linux box, but mount can't figure out the filesystem types used. I found some of them by running the "mount" command with no parameters on on the phone, but there are still a bunch of partitions that I can't identify (list below). I've tried ext4, vfat, sysfs, tmpfs, debugfs, and others with no luck. What else might they be?
Strangely, when I try to mount with sysfs, tmpfs, and debugfs it shows me files that aren't actually on the partition.
Anyway, the non-bolded ones below are the ones I'm still trying to mount:
mmcblk0p1
mmcblk0p2
mmcblk0p3
mmcblk0p4
mmcblk0p5
mmcblk0p6

[Solved] mmcblk* partitions

Where can I get a complete list of what each partition is? There's a list for the HTC Amaze at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545911 but that list isn't correct for the Desire S.
I've worked out the following, but would like a complete list:
mmcblk0p17 misc_version
mmcblk0p18 hboot
mmcblk0p22 boot
mmcblk0p25 system
mmcblk0p26 data
mmcblk0p27 cache
mmcblk0p28 devlog
The command “cat /proc/partitions" lists all partitions, but not their name/function.
Sent from my Desire S

you can try to use command “cat /proc/emmc”

Here are my findings if you stil need the info:
Code:
mmcblk0p1 qcsbl_cfg part of radio.img
mmcblk0p2 qcsbl <empty>
mmcblk0p3 osbl part of radio.img
mmcblk0p4 extended part of radio.img elf-header of rex/amss
--------- --------- -------
mmcblk0p5 modem part of radio.img
mmcblk0p6 adsp part of radio.img
mmcblk0p7 htc rcdata.img Radio settings (IMEI,CID,S-OFF)
mmcblk0p8 rf_nv <empty>
mmcblk0p9 nv_mfg <empty>
mmcblk0p10 cdma_user_data <empty>

mmcblk0p27 cache
mmcblk0p28 devlog
This is 0.98.x partition layout, on 2.00.x it has more partitions, but I believe that the first 27 are the same

Brilliant! Thanks.
Would you mind sharing how you found out all of this?

A lot of searching through the Net, dumping partitions, hex analyzing, comparing to rom.zip images...
EDIT: some of the names are pure guess, such as mfg, but the content is 100 % verified. The names can be verified checking the hboot string if somebody is interested...

Hey, I really need this for my model of phone (try to get a network unlock code from phone), but I'm really noob at hacking at using linux. What command would allow me to check the 'hboot' string of a given mmcblkXpXX file?
Thanks heaps,
Foxy

You have to dump the partition to the SD card via the dd command (you can use terminal emulator on your device) then copy the image to PC, open it with some HEX editor and look through the file

Thanks. I've been using the strings command and piping to egrep for binary files, pulling only lines that have at least one 8 digit number present.I don't have very large SD cards on my phone - is there any way I could data dump directly to my mac, or alternatively (this would be much faster too) get my mac to do the work? Like... somehow open a terminal on the mac that had super user and root access to the phone?
Again, sorry for being a noob. I've been googling the above problem :S
EDIT: never mind. Downloading ADK now and will use ADB... pretty sure that will do it.

32 Gb PIT file

I am in need of the PIT file for a SCH-I535 32Gb version.
Anyone willing/able to rip one for me? My 32Gb phone got JTAG'd back to life but using files from a 16Gb version, so it's kinda confused as to how much internal storage it has. I'm hoping I can flash the PIT from a 32Gb phone, then do a reinstall of the ROM and it'll recognize all of my available storage....
Thanks for your help!
-Andy
EDIT:
Problem solved: See post#57

do you have a pit from the 16 gb version

man that would be great if somebody would post a pitfile for both versions...I know that would help a few folks that corrupted thier emmc internal memory and get the "e cant mount" errors in recovery.

I am game ... how would I extract the PIT file?

Standby. Getting confirmation, then I'll post instructions.

il gladly dump my 32gb blue if there's instructions.

here is some info from the i9300 forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742668

What I'm trying to get confirmation on is using darkyy's dd command from the first post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960946
Just trying to verify that's the correct place to get it for the SGS3 and that that would produce a flashable .pit file.

please post as soon as you get the ok because i think then we would also be able to use heimdall but i might be wrong.

aight, darkyy's method won't work as /dev/mount/bml2 (or any of the bml's) doesn't exist on the GS3. I think I posted without knowing enough info.
I don't know where the PIT file's located on the GS3, and whether it's a function of the phone or the OS (ie ICS vs Gingerbread). I didn't have time over the weekend to look into it, too much. Going to look on that i9300 thread posted and also try to learn a little about Heimdall, as I've only ever used Odin.
To sum up:
Goal is to have a .pit file for SCH-I535 for both the 16Gb and 32Gb versions.
Needed:
I don't know enough about Android/SGS3 to know where the .pit is located. Once that's determined, we'll figure out how to extract it and make a functional flash.
Sorry for the false start, still learning here.

Maybe try the code won't work is you have to use with yaffs2 in the middle or somewhere, i know that the phone runs off of that but that's pretty much all i say since i don't know much.

What I was saying is that /dev/block/bml2 doesn't exist in our file structure on this phone.
Code:
C:\Users\my_computer>adb shell
~ # cd /dev/block
cd /dev/block
/dev/block # ls
ls
loop0 mmcblk0boot0 mmcblk0p16 mmcblk0p3 platform ram2
loop1 mmcblk0boot1 mmcblk0p17 mmcblk0p4 ram0 ram3
loop2 mmcblk0p1 mmcblk0p18 mmcblk0p5 ram1 ram4
loop3 mmcblk0p10 mmcblk0p19 mmcblk0p6 ram10 ram5
loop4 mmcblk0p11 mmcblk0p2 mmcblk0p7 ram11 ram6
loop5 mmcblk0p12 mmcblk0p20 mmcblk0p8 ram12 ram7

loop7 mmcblk0p14 mmcblk0p22 mmcblk1 ram14 ram9
mmcblk0 mmcblk0p15 mmcblk0p23 mmcblk1p1 ram15
/dev/block #
As you can see, no bml's of any kind.
I don't know if that's because darkyy was messing with a GB version of Android, or because the phone (Samsung) has put the PIT file in a different location. I've got a PM out to Odia from that I9300 thread and he should have some helpful info as to where it's stored and how to get it.
Stay tuned.

Yea your right it's because he's using a exynos processor instead of the one we have, have you tried replacing the command with those listed above. I know from the odin thread it can't be mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p15, mmcblk0p18,mmcblk0p14, mmcblk0p12, mmcblk0p13, mmcblk0p17, nor mmcblk0p7.

So, from this, we know it's not any of the mmcblk0p1 through mmcblk0p23 partitions.
If you notice, partition 1 starts 4Mb into storage. I think the PIT is located somewhere in the first 4Mb, but I don't know what memory addresses/file to look under to grab it.... is it in one of the other locations listed above under /dev/block ? Is it in /dev/block/mmcblk0/ ? I just don't know....
After looking at Heimdall, the tool has an option to rip the PIT, but I haven't been able to get it to recognize my SGS3. I've tried both 1.3.2 and 1.3.1
Once that's ripped, can we flash it using Odin in the PIT field? Or do we have to use Heimdall to to put it back?

Heimdall has never been able to recognize my phone...and I was looking somewhere and the developer said it wasn't working and to try 1.3.1 which was not successful either. I had to borrow a computer to use Odin...I know this isn't a solution for getting heimdall to work but I personally don't think it will...if you do get it to work the steps you took would be appreciated

So, from this, we know it's not any of the mmcblk0p1 through mmcblk0p23 partitions.
If you notice, partition 1 starts 4Mb into storage. I think the PIT is located somewhere in the first 4Mb, but I don't know what memory addresses/file to look under to grab it.... is it in one of the other locations listed above under /dev/block ? Is it in /dev/block/mmcblk0/ ? I just don't know....
After looking at Heimdall, the tool has an option to rip the PIT, but I haven't been able to get it to recognize my SGS3. I've tried both 1.3.2 and 1.3.1
Once that's ripped, can we flash it using Odin in the PIT field? Or do we have to use Heimdall to to put it back?

We can use either or I thin for odin you flash using repartition checked and placing it in the pda field but it will allow us to flash with heimdall using that pit since it can't find the one on the phone. Lastly internal flash /dev/block/mmcblk0 becomes /dev/block/mmcblk1 is what i have found so it looks like either im wrong or it has to be one of the 24 blocks.

Can someone with a working 32 run this in a Terminal? It should pull the PIT from your phone and place it in the SD card. I'm sure those with a 16gb would love to have their PIT file as well.
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/pit.bin bs=4096 count=1 skip=4
Info from HERE (International device, but the blocks should be the same)

[Q] xt925 Encryption Unsuccessful - cannot flash

So a year or so ago I flashed up to 4.1.2 (FIDO) on the phone and all worked fine.
Now the phone wont boot, all I get is Encryption Unsuccessful screen. I have tried reFlashing FIDO, and Stock 4.0.4 but RSDlite just throws a message saying "FAIL" - I think is due to a Partition problem. I have access to the Boot menu (10.9B), I have tried wiping the Cache and factory reset - Nothing.
Any Ideas how I can fix the partition and re Flash a ROM?

Have a came error too.

Any ideas? In Russia no Motorola service. I read about this problem on another phones. It can be crashed internal storage, but why in ADB i can see partitions? How to format all internal storage and parted it like a stock?

My FIDO XT925 also had this problem suddenly. From what I have found so far I have tried to use the stock recovery (hold vol +/- then power button,white menu will pop up, follow the instructions and select recovery with vol +), to update to Jelly bean but that is not working. I have also tried RSD Lite 6 and the flash process always fails to verify even after I modified the xml file. I'm pretty stuck at this point as well, hoping someone can help.

Bumping this. Just happened to my XT925 a day ago. Was working fine, last thing I noticed was googleservices crashing (with the OK button that was stuck in an infinite loop) so I had to hard-shut it off..
Was rooted since last year, but nothing odd happening recently, seemed totally random.. Also did the above, nothing seems to be working, is it bricked?
Also, any way to recover the internal SD card contents?

i dont know if i can help, but partition errors need to be fixed with moto fastboot. no other solution will work.
there are a couple of ways to go about this.
1. get moto fastboot and your stock file (if it doesnt contain a partition file your stuck, some do some dont)
flash each partition manually with mfastboot command starting with the partition file (important you flash the partition file first).
2. grab my "script" from the dev forum. make sure you get the "gpt fix" version. DO NOT USE THE SCRIPT AS IS, IT IS FOR 926 ONLY.
you can either:
A. run your commands from that folder as it already has the required moto fastboot.
or
B. delete all the 926 files from that folder
drop in all of your phones files and edit the "win batch file" file to fix any file name mismatches (you only need to flash the partitions i have listed, dont bother adding any more)
i dont recall if i left the "-w" command in there. that is the data wipe command. remove this line entirely if you want to try and keep data.
not sure if this will help, but if you have partition issues, these are the only ways to fix it.

Okay thanks. I downloaded your GPT fix, deleted everything inside except mfastboot.exe and the batch file. Then I downloaded the 4.1.2 from sbf and extracted everything inside your utility folder. However, I'm not seeing file extensions.. what's up with that? Like, no bin, no .ext4? I downloaded the Android 4.1.2
Blur_Version.98.21.122002.XT925.RCI.en.CA
I'm going to assume it won't work unless they have file extensions..
Also, if I'll be running mfastboot manually using cmd prompt, why do I need the batch file? --EDIT: Nevermind, you want me to replace what it says with what you wrote here. Gotcha. What do you mean then by 'just fix your file name as needed' - You mean like if the 4.1.2 thing has 'fsg_signed' I should use that in the batch file correct?
Btw sorry, new user limits, have to wait 5 min before edits heh.. =|

i dont know actually, it might work. you could try going to control panel/folder option/view/hide extensions for known file types and check or uncheck and see if it fixes the issue.
you dont, it was more of a guide assuming you didnt know the sequence and proper commands. but since i posted that, there is no reason if you want to do it manually.

no problem
yea if you want to use the batch file and have it do everything for you automatically, you likely would need to fix some file names as the ones in your stock file might not match the ones i have.
for instance
our partition file is: mfastboot flash partition gpt_main0.bin
but your file may be called partition.bin so you would have to change that line to
mfastboot flash partition partition.bin

Okay so this is what I have now in the batch file, along with brackets for clarifications:
mfastboot flash partition partition_signed.bin
mfastboot flash system system_signed.img.ext4 (what extension should this have?)
mfastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
mfastboot -w
mfastboot flash modem_signed.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1 (leave this in even though I don't have any files like that in the package?)
mfastboot erase modemst2 (same as above?)
mfastboot flash fsg fsg_signed.mbn
mfastboot reboot
Should I take out all the extensions in the bat since that package file has none, or add them to the files as per above?

mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot -w delete this line if you want to try and save any data, i doubt either option will effect the success or failure of this mission but i would leave it in if you can
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin (don't have anything like this in that package - should i remove this line?) doubt the modems were encrypted so delete this line
mfastboot erase modemst1 (left this in) delete this or you may have no modems, only because we arent re-writing them
mfastboot erase modemst2 (left this in) same as above
mfastboot flash fsg fsg_signed.mbn
mfastboot reboot
Should I take out all the extensions since that package file has none? no, just omit any that dont have extensions in your stock file. if we need to drop back and try another route, i would like to know that we tried the file names as you see them.

Sorry I edited my previous message again - I have modem_signed. Leave that in instead of NON-HLOS?

thats kind of a catch 22, yea lets put that in but still remove the erase lines below it as you are writing the same modem.

yea, that sucks.
im having the same problem over here.
i made this other user the same updated (not published) script, just because he has a 926, and i can share the script with anyone who needs it. (just to say, i know this is the only method, you are in a bad spot!)
anyways, its the same as you just made with the same results.
have a look to see if maybe one of the simple fixes (not yet confirmed or denied) helped this member.

I really appreciate the efforts here. When I can wrap my head around this I will try as well as post my results. I felt I had hit a brick wall last night and email Motorola Canada for tech support help..

Keep me posted on this if you don't mind - after maybe 18 hours at this, I'm going to give up
I find it interesting that I managed to unlock my bootloader (even though it still threw a FAILED (remote failure), but going into fastboot DOES say 'Unlocked Status Code: 3'
I also found some chinese forum where people were posting how to do stuff with fastboot oem codes, but if I do fastboot oem anything it just says 'Restricted oem code'. Meh.
Any new phone suggestions? Something that will hopefully last 2 days with battery like this one did.

I am personally trying harder than usual to fix this phone because the battery life is so awesome. It's still a great deal. I hear the Moto X gets pretty great battery life and its cheaper than Nexus 5 right now. Personally I would wait for the Nexus 6, which is rumored to be be built by Motorola.
I am trying to fix this phone for my wife. Personally I am using a Note 3: great big battery and screen but no loyalty to Samsung. If the Nexus 6 pops up I may not be able to resist

I'm trying to keep this phone stock. However I am curious if using Fastboot to unlock and installing custom recovery can work with the partition as screwed up as it is. If so maybe with custom recovery we can properly format the partitions. Thoughts?

After everything sane failed (trying to save the userdata, trying to keep stock), I tried flashing random stuff, including sideloading. Nothing worked. Even the 'unlock' like I said threw an error, though the device does say unlocked. If you manage to successfully install custom recovery please post back how.

Which device is this? Also some theories.
- zimage isn't the name of the actual partition, cd to /dev/block/platform/xxxxx/by-name/ to see your list of partitions
- the image you're flashing doesn't have correct syntax. To fast via flashboot, the syntax is... fastboot flash (partition) (image) . So an example would be fastboot flash recovery twrp.img . You need to remember the file extension such as .img or whatever it is for your image. Also make sure you specify the directory such as fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\xxx\Downloads\twrp.img if you aren't in the current directory.

zImage is a kernel file and it is in the boot.img. you have to unpack your boot.img and replace the existing zImage with new one and repack boot.img again.
Then flash through fastboot mode by "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
So, you want to flash it in boot partition.

The device is LG e615 (2012/2013 device). This don't have a boot partition. I just found a boot.img in cwm backup. The command " fastboot boot zImage" generate a boot.img file.

Where is my stock zImage or boot.img? How to flash this zImage after compile it following the LG readme.txt:
"2. Kernel Build
- Untar opensource packages of kernel.tar.gz using following command at the android folder
a)$tar xvzf kernel.tar.gz
- When you compile the kernel source code, you have to add google original prebuilt source(toolchain)
into the android folder.
- cd kernel
- export ARCH=arm
- export CROSS_COMPILE=../prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-
- make m4-rev11_defconfig
- make zImage
3. After Build, You Can find the build image at arch/arm/boot"
Tks for all replies, but i don't understand how to flash my new kernel compiled by me.
