Without YOUR dump, there won't be any Gingerbread based mods or ROMs for your phone. SuperOneClick doesn't work on the Rogers Infuse, but we do have a method to root. If you have a shiny new Rogers Infuse in hand, please join the #Infuse4G irc channel so we can work with you to obtain the necessary dumps. You'll need to connect using an irc client like xchat.
How to set up adb
If you don't already have adb working on your computer, you'll need to set it up. First download and install the Java JDK. Then download and extract the Android SDK. In the unzipped folder, open "SDK Manager.exe". A prompt should come up with a list of items to install. I recommend rejecting everything except "Google USB driver package", "Android SDK Tools", and "Android SDK Platform-tools". Once those are installed, you're ready. Most people add adb to their path as well for easier access, but you can do that later.

Take a dump and send it to me quickly?
at first i thought it was an actual tutorial on how to take a dump
I live in Minnesota. If I had enough spare time I'd just drive to Canada to try and get one
LOL. I thought you was supposed to leave them. I guess it only matters that "the dump" happens though.

Without YOUR dump, there won't be any Gingerbread based mods or ROMs for your phone. Alright, let's get started. It's not that hard.
1) First you will need to root your device. SuperOneClick should work.
2) If you don't already have adb working on your computer, you'll need to set it up. First download and install the Java JDK. Then download and extract the Android SDK. In the unzipped folder, open "SDK Manager.exe". A prompt should come up with a list of items to install. I recommend rejecting everything except "Google USB driver package", "Android SDK Tools", and "Android SDK Platform-tools". Once those are installed, you're ready. Most people add adb to their path as well for easier access, but you can do that later.
3) On your now rooted phone, go to Settings > Applications > Development and turn on USB debugging. After you do that, plug your phone in to your computer.
4) Now open a command prompt on your computer and cd to your "android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" directory. This will allow you to run adb without adding it to your path.
5) In the command prompt, type "adb devices" without quotes to make sure your phone is connected properly. If it is, it should be listed in the command prompt.
6) Now copy and paste the following commands into the command prompt and wait for each one to finish after pressing enter. Some of the commands will take a little while to run.
Code:
adb shell
su
A Superuser prompt should now pop up on your phone that you need to accept. You should see # instead of $ in the command prompt now. Continue on.
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bin bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml2 of=/sdcard/infuse_gb.pit bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml4 of=/sdcard/Sbl.bin bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/param.lfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/zImage bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/stl10 of=/sdcard/dbdata.rfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=/sdcard/cache.rfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096
exit
exit
7) Connect the phone to your computer as a mass storage device.
8) Copy all 9 files we just created from your internal SD card to your computer.
9) Zip those suckers up, post the zip to MultiUpload or something, and link us to it. You're done!
If you need further assistance, please join the #Infuse4G channel at http://webchat.freenode.net/
If anyone thinks of anything else I should add to the guide or if anything needs correcting, let me know.

I think the post needs more detail on how to flush the dump your way.
And Canadians - gtg will be perfectly happy to hold your hand through the process of taking your dump.

Has anyone done a backup of the Skyrocket using the "DD" command?
I've been doing the "Roto-backup" of my devices, but I can't figure out the proper commands for Gingerbread.
Here's the URL to RotoBackup as a reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850359
If there's a better way - bring'er on!!
Thanks!!
Figured it out.
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblock0p8 of=/sdcard/boot.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/system.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
Seems to backup the device. I did notice the KIES will do the same thing and give you a corrupted firmware fix. Haven't tried it yet.
just got my skyrocket and never owned a galaxy phone before(though i did use rotobackup on my galaxy tab way back when), why don't you do a nandroid backup using CWM?
[wrong forum please delete]
[this is only suitable for tf201 ie transformer primes, sorry for the mix up]
As a noob I cant post in the dev area but thought this might help some one.
I recently needed to install a new boot.img on my virtuous prime based tf201, there appear to be many ways of doing this on android devices but the only way that would work for me and the tf201 is by using the following approach (which I gleaned from various posts around the internet):
It seems that on the tf201 the boot partition is hidden, so accessing it is done so via scary offsets, you obviously need to be EXTREMELY careful with this!!!!!!
*** I am a still learning do not attempt this unless you are willing to turn your beloved tf201 into a floor tile! and don't blame me! ***
1. get adb shell with su.
To backup:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/backup-boot.img bs=4096 skip=3968 count=2048
To zero the partition:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 seek=3968 bs=4096 count=2048
To restore the backup:
dd if=/sdcard/backup-boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 seek=3968 bs=4096 count=2048
To write new (used mkbootimg to create boot.img with my kernel):
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 seek=3968 bs=4096 count=2048

We can backup unbrick img file via Terminal Emulator app or via adb command with the rooted tablet.
Here the command via adb command:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/backup.bin bs=1048576 count=256
The command via Terminal Emulator app:
su -c 'dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/backup.bin bs=1048576 count=256'
Thank you.
Thank you to anyone that can help me out with the above.

I am willing to paypal someone $20 to get this for me.

You can use busybox's dd command:
Code:
busybox dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1 of=/sdcard/modemst1.img bs=4096
busybox dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2 of=/sdcard/modemst2.img bs=4096
Be careful with above commands.

So, which do you think is better using backup from this command or using 3rd apps like Partitions Backup & Restore(select raw .img files) ?
i thought that was crap that only happened with cheap mediatek based phones,
I've never made any backup of EFS on any phone...
