I need someone who has an unflashed sgs4g to contact me. It can be rooted but you can't have tried ANY other flashing including Roms or cwm, etc. I need a clean system dump. I will gladly walk anyone through how to do it. Thank you!

I'll be glad to help. Send me the details and I'll get it to you. I have not attempted to flash anything and my phone is only rooted. I don't believe it matters that I'm running a different launcher with widgetlocker, does it?

I just need a clean dump to work off of for dev purposes. Do u know how to dump via cygwin?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
alone,
I think you can deodex dump of the entire rom including the apps. so you will not get any error deodexing the apps separately. that what the vibrant devs are doing.
Anyone who wants to help, here's how. First you need to install adb on your PC and also install Cygwin. Set your phone to USB debugging turned on and hook your phone to PC. Make sure all your drivers are installed, if not windows will ask for them. Now open cygwin and type the following:
Adb shell
Su
dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs BS=4096
dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=/sdcard/cache.rfs BS=4096
Now get those two files from your sdcard, zip them up and post to multiupload and just send me the link. Thanks to everyone for helping.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH WHAT YOU PULL. You have to tar it a certain way for it to work with Odin.And try to leave all the bloat if u can.

You won't regret this device, trust me ... It says 800mhz on the box but I run at 1ghz and most shifts are overclockable to 1.8-1.9ghz. Sense isn't too bad either, i.m.o, way better than blur. Look forward to seeing ya around the forums! :beer:

And there's one more link to a script but I cant find it right now.
Like Drob said, to be able to get full s-off you'll have to downgrade your Hboot using one of the above mentioned methods. Or you could upgrade to 2.3.4 and use HTC's half ass unlock tool.

I guess technically you dont have to use sdk/adb.. Im sure you could use terminal to temp root and push the misc.img, then use ShiftRR (an automated root for 2.2.) once you have ruu'ed.

Yes, but in the long run it's going to be better to have all that ISH set up anyway .
Just a question and please dont take it the wrong way, but how does one plan on working on deving/porting miui or anything for that matter without the sdk/adb? I feel it is VERY important to have adb setup.

There's no need to use the unlock bootloader thing from htc, Indirect (over in the dev section) has a root method for 2.3.4 (if you choose to update to 2.3.4 anyway) that doesnt involve using the unlock tools

Well if your taking it to Sprint. Upgrading it to 2.3.4 is probably one of the first things they'll do. Before they even trouble shoot it . if you end up keeping the device, and they upgrade it. you can use the method suggested above. The link is below.

i took it to sprint they didn't give me a new phone sigh... and they did some stupid test whitch i know i could have done myself being a hacker and all.. i noticed phone freezing lagging like crazy my epic at the time was wonderful.. but they didn't upgrade firmware at all.. so i guess how would i upgrade to 3.4 ??
Setting>system updates> firmware update.. rooting does solve all the problems that the phone has

I wanted to ask how I could go about taking a rom.zip (pulled from an RUU) and turn it into a stock rooted rom. The phone flashing would be rooted, of course
And if possible, for that process, is it generic? As in, would it work for any phone/stock rom? Or only shift?

Well it would be stock Shift so unless modded it would only work for the Shift. Not sure what you're trying to do.

Well what I mean is if I took an equivalent rom.zip from the RUU for another device, then I want to be able to follow generally the same process to make it a stock rom that won't compromise root

Good luck with that, it seems like you are doing way too much work for what you are trying to achieve (which I am still a little confused on). Essentially you are trying to port a "stock" ROM from another device, and then rooting it... why go thru all the trouble? That sounds like a headache for no reason. What is the device you are taking the RUU from? Why not just port a rooted stock ROM? Like RemICS for example is basically the stock ROM for the SGS3.

Wait what...noooo thats not what I mean lol
What I'm asking is that lets say I have stock rom.zip for some device, how do I make a rooted version of that rom.zip (no porting, no other mods)
All I want to do is basically be able to reset everything to stock using that rom.zip, but without losing root on the device I'm flashing to
So like this:
Device N's rom.zip > rooted rom.zip for device N > flash rooted rom.zip to device N

You want to pull the stock Rom out of an RUU, and use it sort of as a wipe Rom? Does that about sound right ?

If all you wanna do is what I did with the latest ota. Download the RUU.exe and open it to its first screen but don't go forward. Then open a the start menu and go to run. Once at the run box type %temp% and hit enter, then find the location of ROM.zip and move it out to the Desktop and close the RUU.exe. now inside the ROM.zip are a few images the RUU uses to flash, so now your gonna wanna take the boot.img and system.img and place them in dsixda kitchens original update folder, then open the dsixda kitchen in cmd and setup a working folder from a ROM and choose the boot.img and system.img. once that's done use the options to add root and busyboox, maybe data/app if you want and that's your rooted stock ota zip :beer:

Hey guys, I just asked a question to the EVO folks the I remembered this thread is where I got the idea. What I've done is what Strapped said and took the ROM from the ruu for the EVO and ran it through dsixda's kitchen. It's been running great on my EVO 4g but this morning I had some time and thought I would do some themeing and found there is no systemUI.apk? I even went back to the kitchen and rechecked what I had done earlier but there just isn't one that I can find. Has anyone heard of this before? I would think that with that missing it shouldn't be working at all right?
That doesn't sound right . Are you sure your seeing all the files? I had this happen once, I did not have my settings correct on the Laptop.

MikROMs Since 3/13/11
Yea I'm sure. Could it be hidden somehow? Maybe in some odd folder... No one at the EVO is taking me seriously assuming I'm asking a noon like question. :-/
Edit: just for fun, I flashed a modded systemUI last night for this and its in there but nothing has changed. It's the weirdest thing I've come across Android wise.
EDIT2: is it possible the file got mixed in with something else when I deodexed it?
Edit3: I just went through the process again (I'm off work until tomorrow) and there is still no systemUI.apk? What settings on the laptop were you refering to? I can see that file in other ROMs. This is just odd...
Edit4: Ive been looking into this further and I am finding the icons from the systemUI mixed in both the system/framework/framework-res.apk and system/framework/com.htc.rescources.apk so I'm guessing somehow I mixed things together...
That is some creepy stuff
As in how it somehow got chucked in a blender with the framework files

There is no md5 sum present, so yeah.... Just a signed zip!
The assert is at the top and based off what was in the ATT variant.
If you remove that assert in the updater script, should be fine.
However, those values match what I saw in the build.prop......hmmmmm. I'll have it in the morning for yah!

I hope someone kangs an AOSP rom for some 4.2.1 love...(prob to high of a hope) but I'm glad to see this atleast...so atleast i'll have some wiggle room..but saw a poster was having issues..and don't want to get stuck in his shoes..so i'll wait to flash...and or do anything..seen as there is no odin restore stuff or lots of roms that are known to work and stable and the like.....
Thanks for starting the game tho!!!!
Hellation,
That updater script is 100% correct. Had a user PM me.
Your Backup must have failed and/or you flashed something you shouldn't have.
You need to remove the "assert" line in the top of the updater script (unzip /META-INF/com/google/updater-script. Your issue could be that it cannot read itself right now.
Re-zip the whole thing and try again.
You have no readable props right now, or the readable props are wrong...

I purchased a T-Mobile (SM-T217T) Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 last night and wanted it rooted. After hours of trying every method I could (SuperOne Click, Cydia Impactor, Kingo, and every other non Odin based root I could find) I gave up and decided to try some Odin methods.
I downloaded the CWM recovery for the SM-T217S
I grabbed The Universal Root file.
And lastly Odin 3.07
BEFORE STARTING put the untouched Universal Root file on your EXTERNAL SD CARD
Put the Tab in download mode (Power + Vol DOWN)
Open Odin 3.07
Connected your Tab to the PC
Click PDA in Odin, and select the CWM file which then asks to select the recovery file inside the tarball.
Make sure the ONLY options selected are Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time and then click start.
Once the Tab turned off I let it reboot fully before touching it to make sure I didn't brick it but You can skip that and go right into recovery if you want.
Reboot into recovery (POWER +Vol. UP)
**Vol. Up and Down control line selections and Power selects the line**
Select Install Zip
Select Choose Zip From External SD Card
Select android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip
Select Yes
Reboot
WIN!
Once I can find a way to safely upload a a nandroid or similar back-up (maybe a more experience Dev can send me a guide/walk me through it) I'll update this post with a link for a T-Mobile stock rooted rom. Or someone else can do it after you have root.
If You were part of creating any of the root files I used (found through Google and direct linked here) please let me know so I can credit you in my post.

Unfortunately, the links became invalid after a day or so.
I suggest just looking around XDA for the specific file names.

Have you tried "GrooVe IP" application, which works in conjunction with you "Google voice" account. Works awesome for me.
Thanks.

Awesome, just got a tab 3 4 days ago and it rooted like nothing, Thanks, now all we need is a sm-t217t kitkat rom :fingers-crossed:

It was quick and painless and it worked great. Now I can finally debloat my tab
That would be awesome as long as it doesn't come with Knox

That was the entire reason of my exploring with root methods. I hate T-Mobile's unlock plan and figured the first step was rooting and debloating.

Has anyone been able to find a T217T ROM anywhere? I hope someone comes up with an AOSP ROM for our device.

I haven't really looked to be honest. I'm not sure if anyone has attempted to flash anything custom yet or if they have then they had issues and haven't posted for the rest of us.

i know those are 4.2.2 but at least they are getting attention, meaning at least there's devs developing for it even if it's a modified 4.2.2 stock rom... 4.4.2 would be awesome for this tablet no doubt...I'm just hopping to get some development support for this puppy :fingers-crossed:, i hate this stupid TW...
