You have to connect your device to your PC and boot into recovery.
Then, open up a Windows command prompt (assuming you use Windows, otherwise a Linux terminal) and navigate to the folder were the adb.exe (or adb for Linux) is stored.
Since you have rooted and unlocked your phone I assume you downloaded the Android SDK. This means that generally the adb.exe will be found in C:/android-sdk/platform-tools (or well, wherever you installed it).
Once you've navigated to the correct folder you can input those commands in the command prompt.
"adb shell' will start a shell running on your Nexus which you can control through your computer. The following commands are Linux commands to:
a) change directory to where your backup is saved
b) rm (remove) the existing .md5 file
c) create a new md5 hash
Good luck,

How to pull mmcblk0 or any partition directly to pc?

I have tried following command on ADB to extract partition, but failed.
source:fciotti.com/2017/02/26/clone-android-memory
Code:
chmod +r /dev/block/mmcblk0
returns
Code:
Bad mode
Code:
adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0 "mmc.img"
returns
Code:
remote permission denied
I have post a question on stack exchange, and found a command working but failed after dumping 4gb on sdcard (not directly to pc) because of file system.
source:android.stackexchange.com/questions/185433/problem-with-coping-mmcblk0-to-pc?noredirect=1#
Code:
adb exec-out "su -c 'cat /dev/block/mmcblk0'" > mmc.img
but it create a 0kb img file.
Please anyone help.

Need stock param.bin for SM-P580 Please

I soft bricked my tablet trying to change the boot splash on the tablet. I need the stock param.bin to flash back onto the tablet to get it to boot again. I can only get into download mode at this point.
To do this, first we have to find where the param.bin file resides, so fire up a terminal:
Code:
su #gain root
cd /dev/block/platform #this will take us to the folder we need the name of to run the dd command later
ls #copy the output of this command and cd in the next command
cd *pastethefolder* #the folder copied from previous command
cd by-name # change into by-name dir
ls #you will see PARAM in the output of ls
pwd #the output of this command will give us the absolute path of the param file
#copy the output of pwd
#now we can run the command to pull the param.bin file with the path copied from previous pwd command
dd if=/dev/block/platform/********/by-name/PARAM of=/sdcard/param.bin bs=4096
#this will give you a copy of the stock param.bin.
I really appreciate anyone who would possibly take the time to do this and get it to me sometime soon.

Is this what you're after?

[Google Fi][HOW-TO] Uploading an MP3 as your Voicemail

1. On your computer, convert the mp3 file to a 3gp file with a particular file name:
Code:
laptop $ ffmpeg -i path/to/some/music.mp3 -ar 8000 /tmp/pending_voicemail_greeting.3gp
2. Push that file to your phone and cleanup:
Code:
laptop $ adb push /tmp/pending_voicemail_greeting.3gp /sdcard && rm /tmp/pending_voicemail_greeting.3gp
3. Open the Google Fi app and record a new voicemail containing whatever garbage you want. (It won't be used.) It will show you the screen to preview it before committing to it. DO NOT COMMIT TO IT. Instead, just leave that screen open.
4. Overwrite the preview file with your file:
Code:
laptop $ adb shell
phone $ su
phone # cat /sdcard/pending_voicemail_greeting.3gp > /data/data/com.google.android.apps.tycho/files/pending_voicemail_greeting.3gp && rm /sdcard/pending_voicemail_greeting.3gp
5. Press "keep" in the Fi app to upload the preview as your new voicemail.

zte nubia z5s mini nx406e - version android 4.4.4
Greetings, could someone guide me ?
I want to be able to update this device,
to an android version a little more current,
if I have a copy of the system made with twrp recovery,
starting from there, how can I extract everything to be able to develop.
I know that everything that is needed is within the system itself,
I would appreciate any guidance.
Please do not block what I write again, like the one here
I just tried to explain myself in a way that they could understand me better, excuse my bad english.

Procedure to extract kernel
1.- Download the tool: android bootimg tools
2.- Extract the file using: tar xvzf android_bootimg_tools.tar.gz
It contains two binaries:
unpackbootimg
mkbootimg
3.-Then run: ./unpackbootimg -i boot.img -o unpack
./unpackbootimg -i <filename.img> -o <output_path>
It will contain:
boot.img-base
boot.img-cmdline
boot.img-pagesize
boot.img-ramdisk.gz ----> ramdisk
boot.img-zImage ----> kernel
archive: boot-img-zImage
to extract: boot.img-ramdisk.gz
use command: gunzip -c boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i
I'm looking at how to extract kernel sources from: boot.img-zImage
