Dumping rom, weird case - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
Trying to make a custom rom for a device i just got (it has no specific brand).
Tried dumping with romdump but boot.img was empty, so i had a look around and finally queried mtd:
Code:
cat proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00040000 00040000 "misc"
mtd1: 00500000 00040000 "recovery"
mtd2: 00500000 00040000 "kernel"
mtd3: 00300000 00040000 "ramdisk"
mtd4: 0aa00000 00040000 "system"
mtd5: 04000000 00040000 "cache"
mtd6: 10800000 00040000 "userdata"
In all exemples i saw there was an entry with the name 'boot' and neither 'kernel' nor 'ramdisk'.
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd2
and
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd3
are not recognized as valid by the kitchen.
I am guessing that somehow if i managed to merge kernel and ramdisk i would probably get a proper boot.img but my (maybe wrong) thoughts stop right here.
Has anyone seen such a case before?
thanks

Aftermath
Finally, few month later, I was not dumping the right partitions and my kernel was corrupt. I also found that working in a Linux environment is much better and less error prone.

Meteorit MMB-322

Hi,
The Meteorit MMB-322.HDTV is an Android based MultimediaPlayer for TV's.
Currently it's mainly selled in Germany and there are many owners which are interested in the Box and in Modding them.
Before we can start building custom Firmwares we need a way to recover the System. We are in contact with the manufacturer and he said, that there is no Software-Recovery. And to update to a new Firmware the system must be bootable.
Because here are many experts in this forum, I hope youcan and want to help us developing a recovery-method like Nandroid or a little NANDFlashMode.
Now all information I already have and which could be useful for you:
The Partitions MTD-based
That's the list of MTD-partitions:
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00020000 00020000 "block0"
mtd1: 00100000 00020000 "bootloader"
mtd2: 01900000 00020000 "bootimgs"
mtd3: 01900000 00020000 "bootimgs-B"
mtd4: 00080000 00020000 "u-boot.env"
mtd5: 0c000000 00020000 "system"
mtd6: 08000000 00020000 "userdata"
mtd7: 06800000 00020000 "cache"
mtd8: 00400000 00020000 "factory_setting"
mtd9: 00400000 00020000 "factory_data"
mtd10: 01000000 00020000 "sysconf"
mtd11: 20000000 00020000 "mv_nand"

This are the Kernel-bootargs:
sata_reset_done
nfc_shared
androidboot.console=ttyS0
console=ttyS0,115200
root=/dev/mtdblock5
rootfstype=yaffs2
ro
root_part_name=system
init=/init
mtdparts=mv_nand:131072(block0),
1048576(bootloader),

4194304(factory_data),

initrd=0x4e00000,0x47b5a
macaddr=00:25:92:14:47:94

There is a binary "oureboot" which can reboot the system with adding args to the kernel. This would result in using /2ndinit to boot Linux:
oureboot "init=/2ndinit"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The system-partition is mounted to / and contains everything which normally is located on the ramdisk.
I think, the best progress would be, if anyone of you could find out how the boot-partitions(bootloader, bootimgs and bootimgs-B) can be extracted.
Here is the FW-Updatefile: ftp://ftp.pearl.de/treiber/PX1534_12_103600.zip
In the Archive is a file named "ouimg.bin". You can open this and the contained file "ouimg" with 7Zip and then there will be a file ./uniimg/uniimg.bin
This is the file which will be flashed on update. I don't know if it's flashed partially or if this is a direct NAND-Backup.
I hope that you can and do help us.
Best regards,
M1cha

Working on new ROM
Hello everyone,
Currently I'm working in a new ROM for 991 and 991D. It is a very basic ROM. The standard ROM (2.3.6)+Root+Remove Apps+Support for Ext3-Ext4 and App2SD.
The main problem is that we have few memory to work.
Hello guys,
First of all, this might not be the proper section, but still, the problem I'm referring to was solved on other devices using custom ROM.
I have the same phone and I have a weird problem. I can make skype calls but the sound is played through the speakerphone, and not through the earpiece. The same is true for other VoIP apps - Kakao Talk, Line..... When I tried to use Viber I couldn't hear the other person, yet they could hear me.
I read somewhere, that the same problem occurred with ZTE Blade and it was solved by using Cyanogenmod 7. So I guess this could be solved with a custom ROM.
Here's a link to a forum thread with people experiencing the same problem.
modaco.com/topic/331808-skype-speaker-fix
and how to upload the stock rom because i dont know :\

Try the audio profiles. In settings. I will investigate later. It could be a stupid error in audio routing.

Fist step (with a rooted phone). Get all the ROM img files:
1) Conect the phone throught adb.
2) adb shell
3) su
4) cat /proc/mtd
It will write down somenthing like this (this is from my LG P500 so it will be different for OT991D)
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00440000 00020000 "boot"
mtd1: 0be00000 00020000 "system"
mtd2: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd3: 002c0000 00020000 "lgdrm"
mtd4: 00100000 00020000 "splash"
mtd5: 00180000 00020000 "FOTABIN"
mtd6: 005c0000 00020000 "FOTA"
mtd7: 00040000 00020000 "misc"
mtd8: 04000000 00020000 "cache"
mtd9: 0c780000 00020000 "userdata"
5) Now you can get files with cat. For exapample to get boot and recovery:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/mtd1.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/mtd2.img
The files will be stored in the sd. Mount and copy.
Those are the basic files from our original ROM. But the boot.img. That is the vulnerable boot.img that we used to root the phone.

Just remenber that boot.img is the vulnerable one NOT the factory one. Also system is modified with less applications (basically all that garbage that we don´t need) and the Alcatel keyboard is removed (also its languajes). System also includes root and busybox.

Be carefull updating with flash tool
Boot image with app2sd
Hi everyone,
finally I have a new boot image with A2SD support.
Mod Edit Link Removed as it is stated in next post not to use.
Please be carefull:
1) I don´have the 991D. So I can no test it by the moment.
2) It is the vulnerable image+app2sd DT.
3) Allways have the "new-boot.img" by mrdoubble by hand. Just in case you need to rollback.
4) Use flash tool to apply it.
There is somenthing strange with our boot.img so I have to separate the kernel from ramdisk by hand with hexeditor. I have done the new image with mkboot, so I don´t know if Alcatel it is not using the standard headers it is going to work.
You have to do a partition in your SD to store the apps (ext2). Try it and use app2sd gui to test if everything works.

It will write down somenthing like this (this is from my LG P500 so it will be different for OT991D)
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00440000 00020000 "boot"
mtd1: 0be00000 00020000 "system"
mtd2: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd3: 002c0000 00020000 "lgdrm"
mtd4: 00100000 00020000 "splash"
mtd5: 00180000 00020000 "FOTABIN"
mtd6: 005c0000 00020000 "FOTA"
mtd7: 00040000 00020000 "misc"
mtd8: 04000000 00020000 "cache"
mtd9: 0c780000 00020000 "userdata"
5) Now you can get files with cat. For exapample to get boot and recovery:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/mtd1.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/mtd2.img
The files will be stored in the sd. Mount and copy.
Those are the basic files from our original ROM. But the boot.img. That is the vulnerable boot.img that we used to root the phone.

Hi,
I've tried to flash my ot-991 following the instructions givens by tutorial 'how to root 991-d', using the file root991-D, the scatered file and teh 'new-image'. After then my phone is dead and when I try to flash again I have a message like : BROM ERROR : S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL (5054). Doing memory test I have the same problem, but it works fine when I 'Read back' the boot image. Can you have any idea ?
I understand spanish, cause I'm spanish.
Thank you for your help

Maybe it is a good thing to put also the changelog in OP. I was wondering what's the difference to the official TWRP builds and others may ask as well. Also state that this is an unofficial TWRP build
Unofficial 2.7.1.0a: Important changes since official 2.7.1.0
- libtar: don’t set parent dir’s context when extracting a file
- HTC LED charging indicator
Unofficial 2.7.1.0a: Known issues and limitations
- This should be fixed with 2.7.1.0, but I have not confirmed: When upgrading from some other maintainers’ TWRP builds, it may be necessary to delete the settings file /sdcard/TWRP/.twrps or TWRP will loop its startup routine at the splash screen.
- Off-mode charging does not display charging images; the LED works though.

It should, but just to be safe make a backup with TWRP 2.6.1.0 that came with Maximus and try to restore with TWRP on this thread, if it doesn't work then flash TWRP 2.6.1.0
Did it work?
I'm on HBOOT 2.16 and recovery 2.7.0.8 I tried flashing the zip file and it's giving me an error "E:Error executing updater binary in zip..." I deleted the .twrps file so not sure whats going wrong in the flash.

It might be my fault, just flash it in fastboot or flash image gui

I tried the flash image GUI but it's not responsive for some reason, I open the app grant SU permission and it just gives me a blank screen. I tried Fastboot but something about Sense 6 does not allow ADB to read my phone anymore, I didn't have the problem when using CM11. Just Sense 6 4.4.2. So flashing in recovery was kind of my last ditch option.

Well known common problem. Make sure to have your ROM zip on internal storage before you wipe system. Or search how to adb sideload.

Hi. Is there any way to make the same TWRP2.7.1.0 for VilleC2?

[Q] Partition details

Hi all,
does anyone know, where I could find details about the partitions available on SM-P900 (what's in there, what effect might a change to them habe, on which operations might a chnge to them happen, etc.)? I'm trying to figure out, what is necessary to be backed up, so that I'll be able to restore the device even in the worst case of an SW damage.
I.e. I'm trying to understand which partitions need to be restored in what kind of situation. Partitions like boot, recovery, cache, system, hidden, userdata are clear to me, more or less. But what about the others?
I'm not sure, but I think, it's not a question specific to SM-P900, but to all (new Samsung) devices, probably to all KitKat devices.
So far I could figureout following partitions on the SM-P900:
dev size name
mmcblk0p1: 0001000 "bota0"
mmcblk0p2: 0001000 "bota1"
mmcblk0p3: 0005000 "efs"
mmcblk0p4: 0001000 "m9kefs1"
mmcblk0p5: 0001000 "m9kefs2"
mmcblk0p6: 0001000 "m9kefs3"
mmcblk0p7: 0001000 "carrier"
mmcblk0p8: 0002000 "param"
mmcblk0p9: 0002000 "boot"
mmcblk0p10: 0002800 "recovery"
mmcblk0p11: 0002800 "ota"
mmcblk0p12: 0001000 "cdma-radio"
mmcblk0p13: 0005000 "modem"
mmcblk0p14: 0001000 "tombstones"
mmcblk0p15: 0001000 "tdata"
mmcblk0p16: 0003000 "persdata"
mmcblk0p17: 0001000 "reserved2"
mmcblk0p18: 0252000 "system"
mmcblk0p19: 0032000 "cache"
mmcblk0p20: 0005000 "hidden"
mmcblk0p21: 1a74000 "userdata"
Thanks,
bruzzy
