I've got dd dumps of the entire MT "disk" and individual dd dumps of each partition. I also have tars of each file system.
I took the dd "images" prior to the first boot into the OS, by holding volume-down+power. That put me into the strange read-write boot loader mode. Then I connected the phone via USB to a linux box. Unfortunately, Ubuntu auto-mounted the phone "disk" and all the file systems which no doubt updated some file system timestamps, but I didn't change anything. I unmounted the file systems, took my dd images then mounted them again and tar'd them up. Then unmounted and rebooted the phone and activated it.
Unfortunately, I doubt I have enough karma to upload yet. Perhaps I can put them somewhere for you to download directly? PM me for the location. Sorry offer open to souder14 only, or someone else with enough karma to post them to xda.
Did you find an upload location? If so please share it.
Thanks

Hello all,
Firs I like to apologies if I've posted in the wrong section of the forum.
As the title says, I have a Iglo A101 with GingerBread 2.3.4 phone and I accidently deleted the system/bin/sh file.
I was searching for a2sd and I downloaded it, but when running it, instead of pressing 1 - "install a2sd" I pressed 2 "uninstall a2sd", by mistake, and by the time I realized the sh file was deleted. Now the phone is no longer rooted and can't be rooted and also my Wi-Fi doesn't work anymore.
I've search the net for answer but I can't find a solution to this type of phone.
Could someone help me fix this or at least get the Wi-Fi working again?
Thanks in advanced...
OK, I've manage to contact the retailer and he gave me what appears to be the all system files, as now I have a rar containg system.img userdata.img recovery.img etc etc. How do I install this files, because he doesn't appear to know either. I tried from the recovery mode using install update.zip from sdcard but it give's me invalid OTA package and I can't find an answer on how to flash a img file from recovery mode...

Does the device have fastboot? If so the files need to flashed using fastboot. The command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash system system.img.
If your device does not have fastboot then you will need to extract the system.img and make a flashable .zip so you can flash through CWM or whatever your recovery is. If you are using stock recovery then I eexpect you will either need to find a solution or send it off for repair. I will have a look into helping you get your device back up and running but I cant promise to succeed. Give me a few days and I will report back with any solutions or info to get you on your way to fixing your device.

hi
i had similar problem on this device a101 i did not delete any folder but by rooting the device my wifi and Bluetooth stoped working.i solved the problem by the factory menu.....have you tried it?
i did factory reset, but since there a system file missing it doesn't solve it..Can't there be a way to create an update.zip package with the sh file and then apply like an update from recovery? I've been trying to understand what does invalid OTA package mean, I think if that would be solved then I could easily put the file back...
i think you need spb launcher
i have to admit i used it only ones before for china 5388 there i needed com + usb cable here you need just a normal cable us the boot on this phone is different i have all you need give me email i will send to you. i have scater for a101 file too.i never used it but i have.Us i said my phone work ok after reset from factory mode
still nothing?

After flashing stock ROM on my Moto G I was not able to use Wi-Fi, it does not turn on. So I tried some other ROMS from various countries and nothing. However when I flashed the Nexus G - beta 4 custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606943) I got it working again.
Can someone please explain what is happening, and help me?

Solved
So, I got it working again. The problem was indeed in the persist folder, it was missing a file named WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin. So I managed to extract it from the persist.img and moved it to persist folder again. After that I edited the bin file and inserted my MAC address. Finally I have flashed my phone to stock ROM again and it worked just fine.
Here's the file:
fixed
Thank you so much this fixed my problem as well
Ok. Let's try but first let me e sure how to do it.
1. Edit persist.img with the .bin file inside.
2. Installl stock rom on my phone.
3. Flash persist.img in fastboot mode.
It's that correct?

First of all check if your persist folder is missing the bin file I have mentioned. If it is, You have to extract that file from persist.img or You can just download the one I uploaded.Then you must edit it and insert your mac address and after that you just have move it to the persist folder using a root explorer.
I could not flash persist.img, bootloader was always returning an access denied message, so i figured a way to explore the persist.img file using LinuxReader and extracted the WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin from it.
So basically i ''flashed'' persist manually. Copy, edit, paste.
Thanks

I have 2 days searching the solution and try with so many files.

Please, could someone explain me exactly (for n00b like me) how to solve this problem?

Wi fi problem
Hi guys,
i've a Moto G 16 Gb purchased on Amazon.De, so german phone. I live in italy and when i connect to wi fi no problem. When i go in switzerland and i try to connect to another wi fi net (my girlfriend's line) provided by Swisscom, it doesn't work: well, i insert passoword, but it cant connect ... i called Swisscom, they tried to reset router and so on , but still persist this problem. The person (swiss) that sells me the phone (i bought it as used) said that he has the swiss provider Cablecom and it didn't have any problem. I'm fully stock with 4.4.2 . Anyone has any idea? thank you
ps: with my galaxy s3 i have no problem both in italy and in switzerland
Can anyone help in explaining the above?
....to a relative newbie? I've downgraded from 4.4.2 down to 4.3 and now my wi-fi is not working anymore, the MAC address is lost.
I'd really, really appreciate any help with regards to the procedure in going about fixing the 'Persist Folder' .
Thank you for reading.
Please make any method to solve Persist folder

I'm sorry, but can you please elaborate? I'm have this wifi issue and it's really annoying.
You say to extract the file from persist.img, but where exactly do I find that? The file you uploaded is not persist.img.
How would I edit and insert my mac address?
Where is this persist folder? I can't find it anywhere.
If you could respond that'd be great.

You'll find persist folder at /persist.
You need filemanger with root permission, the you can see this folder.
So copy WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin to your SD card. Use your filemanger to copy this file to /persist.
Activate wi-fi, the you'll find your mac adress under Settings > About Phone > Status > Wi-fi MAC Adress
Open WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin on your phone with a text editor and type your mac adress inside that file and save it.
I have not tried it because i did not have this issue. But this is the way how i understood it.
simply copied the file in /persist, set permissions and rebooted
No MAC adress to enter
Works fine now
Thanks, very much!
You resolved me
Only its the put the WCNSS in the /persist folder and OK.
(You need to have the firmware with /persist).
Hi
I have an Asus Fonepad 8 (K016 or FE380CG. 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM), I know it's not popular around here.. But any help is very welcome.
My initial device's state
- Stock rom 4.2.2
- Root (installed: Greenify, App Ops, Coolify, System App Remover (Jumobile))
- I uninstalled about 20 system apps
then I received OTA update to Lollipop and it displayed the infamous android "error" with the red exlamation mark. so i uninstalled every root app, EXCEPT System App Remover (silly me i forgot the most crucial part), probably meaning that some system apps are still gone. I also did full unroot inside SuperSU.
I tried factory resetting in order to successfully update to Lollipop, but once I get to the setup Welcome screen, these dreaded messages show up. ENDLESSLY
Unfortunately, com.android.phone has stopped working
Unfortunately, com.android.systemui has stopped working
Unfortunately, com.process.acore has stopped working

One time, the endless torture stopped and I was able to access Settings. I opened Applications and there was very (infact, too) few apps installed. Less than 200MB of RAM is used. I thought the factory settings failed, so I tried doing the same thing again in fastboot mode. But still a no-go.
Then I tried
Code:
fastboot -w
and it did say "success" but it couldn't format. "File system not supported". I forgot the exact message but that, i think is the point.
In Droidboot Provision OS, there is an option called "SD download". I put the official ROM for my device (.zip) in my SD card, then tried doing exactly that. Still no-go. Below is the entire (not exact) process
Copying E:\ASUS_UPDATE.zip to /cache (i renamed my firmware .zip file to that)
Copying asus update file (i have no idea where this file (if it even is a file) is located)
then my device reboots
a brief "no command" error appears
reboots back to my faulty state

I then tried to erase cache and userdata, and ran
Code:
fastboot update fw.zip
This appears
archive does not contain android-info.txt
archive does not contain android-product.txt

Desperate enough, I tried to again erase cache and userdata and system (probably my worst decision). and the device is now stuck in boot logo screen.

One thing to be noted. I am really confused with ASUS's official firmware.
There is no recovery.img, system.img, userdata.img or cache.img
Here is a list of files and directories inside of it:

system (folder, a lot of folders inside like "app", "bin", "etc", "fonts")

I do not have nandroid or any kind of backup.
I have googled and tried everything I could find for the past 9 hours. So, i think it's high time I ask experts about this.
I am thinking of taking it to the service center. But any more knowledge regarding this beforehand is very valuable to me.
I know this is too long but I've highlighted the most important parts.
Any kind of help is welcome.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Unfortunately there is not a dedicated forum and there is very little information about your device on XDA. There is nothing on how to flash the stock firmware. But it sounds like that's what you need to do right now. Looking at ASUS's web site it looks like there should be another zip file. ifwi.zip, in the one you extracted. That's most likely where the image files you are missing reside.

I doubt that it's the system image. The file size is just way too small.
The folder with the largest size is System, and inside there are a lot of folders (app (system apps and asus's bloatwares are inside), bin, etc, fonts, framework, etc, and build.prop). It almost looks like ASUS doesn't package system into a .img file, rather in a folder. That's why I am also looking for a script file that "copies" this folder into the device, if it exists.
I am now downloading the latest (was just uploaded by ASUS) firmware, which is Lollipop.
I'll dig in the file and see if I can find anything interesting.
Ok, download's finished.
Below is the root directory of the new firmware.zip
META-INF (folder)
recovery (folder)
system (folder)
boot.img
droidboot.img
splash.img
file_contexts (no extension)
l_recovery.fstab

ifwi.zip has the same contents, only a newer version.

I have attached a screenshot of updater-script I found inside META-INF/com/google/android. and screenshots of the directories of the firmware zip's contents. Hoping any is helpful to solve this.
First, I know nothing specific about your device. But do you have a custom recovery on your device? CWM or TWRP. The updater-script looks like it should be flashed in a custom recovery, not with fastboot. Edit, also, what's in the system folder, etc. Are there image files in there?

Sorry for the late reply.
I just got the device back from the service center.
I inquired about where I can get the firmware file, and the guy said ASUS's website, but to flash it I need a tool.
It seems that this tool then copies the entire system folder to the device.
Anyways, the problem is solved now. Thank you very much for your help.
Glad you got it fixed. I'll close this thread.

In Mediatek powered phones, splash logo resides on a separate partition called logo. You have to flash your logo.img/logo.bin to that partition. The logo.img you see in /cust folder is likely just a backup.

alright i saw some guide on some wordpress website to go to TWRP make boot partition backup , then to move that bacup to some folder i can access from pc ,alter logo , and put it back to original place + use that backup . Now im stuck before splash screen logo because phone can't load that logo and he is just rebooting after 10 sec or so . Only thing i managed to access is fastboot. Problem is i can't find any rom for my devices with .img format files so i can't rly flash them. Do you maybe have some idea ?

You just need to do more searches.
Huawei Stock roms come in update.app format. It's a compressed file that contains all the img files (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, logo.img, cache.img etc). There is already a thread to unpack such file and extract the img files. The tool is available here.
Now, once you get your logo.img, you can use dd in adb or terminal to flash it. This is not intended for normal users. I wouldn't advice it.
And no, you cannot use another phone's logo.img/logo.bin in your phone even if it's from another huawei.
