[Q] UCLA3 NANDRoid to flashable zip

I successfully received the OTA update, and was wondering if anyone wanted/needed a rooted nandroid.
I tried to do the requisite search before posting, (did not find a clear answer) - I'd love to make a CWM zip, but don't know how, but am in the midst of looking for the answer. Might try kitchen...
If I missed someone else's effort to do the same, kindly disregard.
Let me know, I'll get it up tonight. This is 2.3.6 and DOES NOT have CIQ.

hey can u dump the modem for me

I've got adb and kitchen setup on PC, but really have not tried to dabble until now. Got a reference for the modem dump that I can follow? If not I'll look how to do just the modem. Flashed radios via adb but never saved one from a device.

yes....turn on usb debugging in development. connect to your pc.....open cmd prompt.....navigate to the directory that has adb in it

run these commands
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/amss.bin
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/mdm.bin

Thanks guys for doing this. Will there be two zip files: one for the UCLA3 baseband (radio) and one for GINGERBREAD.UCLA3 build? Or can they be combined into one flashable zip?

if your phone is rooted, then make sure that on screen you allow SU permissions after typing su in the cmd prompt

unplug phone
plug back in
close the terminal..
reopen it
get to adb directory
adb start service
adb shell
su

Completely Restore to Stock

Hi! I wouldl ike to restore my phone from being S-off, custom recovery, and a custom rom. Can anyone please guide me through the steps ? (I just need to know what I have to do I know my way around android devices just not that used with HTC. Should I flash a stock rom, flash stock recovery, then s-off ?)
Thanks

You should read the threads in dev section carefully before proceding, but the short version should be like this:
1. copy "misc_version" to android sdk / adb folder
2. cmd: adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
3. set older software version with misc_version to flash a older RUU File
cmd: adb shell /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
4. copy original hboot.img (0.98.00...) to root of microSD card.
5. open cmd :
cd/
cd android-sdk-windows
cd platform-tools
adb devices
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
6. restart to bootloader
7. enter fastboot
8. run RUU
THIS IS NOT A HOWTO, check yourself if this is the right way for you!!!
Or check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187231
Maybe it's the simple way...

Your phone should be rooted..! Also you have to have installed adb and your phone's drivers... If you have all this let's begin:
open a cmd in your adb directory and type:
Code:
adb devices (you should see your phone)
adb shell
su
cat /proc/mtd
find the partitions named recovery and boot and also find the mtd partion number (mtd0, mtd1 etc)
When you find your mtd partition number type:
Code:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd[B][COLOR="Red"]x[/COLOR][/B] > /sdcard/boot.img
Where is x is your mtd partition number
Do the same for the recovery.img

Unlock bootloader found something

guyz found this at
http://androidforums.com/threads/forcing-fastboot.704668/
we know our device cant be unlocked because it cant reboot into fastboot thats why when u see in ur phone BOTLOADER UNLOCK ALLOWED:NO
it tells us a way to boot into fastboot if the phone does not enter fastboot through ""adb reboot bootloader"
Steps++))
If a phone doesn't go into fastboot by command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
First you must have your boot.img backed up if you want to ever get out:
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/[COLOR="red"]path to boot[/COLOR] of=/sdcard/boot.img
exit (type exit again if not out of shell)
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img
Now to erase boot partition and force fastboot:
Code:
db shell
su
dd if=dev/zero of=dev/block/[COLOR="Red"]path to boot block[/COLOR]
reboot
You are now in fastboot.
To get out:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot continue
guyz this can be our chance to unlock the bootloader please anyone with the skills and who knows those red statements try this and report.....

Anyone who have tried this one? Kindly explain clearly on how to edit those boot.img in xperia c3.
Thanks!

"write error: No space left on device" error fix

when im about to remove the modem files like this from adb menu
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/mdm1m9kefs1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/mdm1m9kefs2
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/mdm1m9kefs3
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/mdm1m9kefsc
im getting "write error: No space left on device" error.
how to fix this. or is there any other way to delete those files.

Those commands will overwrite the named block-devices with zeroes, they don't get deleted means it's not technically erasing.

ok, so is there a way to overwrite them? cos atm i cant with those commands

To overwrite you have to specify as infile an image ( .img ) and as outfile the block-device wanted

Look inside here:
dd: No Space Left on Device | Beamtic
After running dd for a long time, it stops with an error saying no space is left on the device.

would it also be fixed when i format the device and wipe all data?

can u give me an example for the command for adb menu?
i want to get rid of this file mi10orj.bin in the modem

What ADB are you using? AFAIK ADB hasn't a menu,
If device is rooted then you may run
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "stop"
adb shell "rm -f /vendor/mi10orj.bin"
adb shell "start"
if the .bin-file is located in vendor partition what IDK
