Help! I bricked my ZTE Nubia Z5 NX501 while repartitioning - Android General

Hi, I had a working rooted ZTE Nubia Z5 NX501 with TWRP.
The userdata space is 2860MB while sdcard space is 25.4GB so i deciced to merge them using some adb commands in Windows
The memory details are as follow
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

As you can see in order to all the space in the "grow" partition for the "userdata" partition i figured i had to delete partitions 16-25 and create them again with different calculations in size, so before i did that i dump images for all the partitions to be deleted (I did not backup the other partitions, maybe i was lazy).
I don't know how i messed up so now all i have is a QHSUSB_DLOAD device that i'm not able to get the drivers for.
The hardware id is USB\VID_19D2&PID_FFAE&REV_0000&MI_00 but i cannot find it, nor do i know what other driver i can use to put that string inside and get it to work and maybe try to unbrick my device. But on the other side i have a QHSUSB_DLOAD usb device with 5 units from F to J and the Disk Management shows a 30GB disk with around 15 partitions.
My device comes with Snapdragon 600 quad-core a 1.5GHz processor, 2GB of RAM y 32GB of internal storage.
Can anyone help me?

[root] some research!

Hello everyone;
In recent days I have been following very closely the development that has been taking place on the root procedure for LG G4 and as they say that very probably transferable to the G Flex 2, I have started to work and apparently have found codes (see attachment) to dump and later flash our phone with a prerooted system image, this, having it on android 5.1.1.
i tested the spreadsheet on my 5.0.1 Ls996 (sprint) dev blocks, we need to test it on 5.1.1 and see what happens, for that reason anyone who have the phone on 5.1.1 can run the following commands on adb and post on here, it will help to development of our root:
Code:
cat /proc/partitions
Code:
ls -l /dev/block/platform/f9824900.sdhci/by-name

output

i think i figured out look at the xlsx attach i find the 3 values please look at detail on the spreadsheet!
for example for my 5.0.1 should be:
dump --> dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=58368 count=522240 of=/data/media/0/system.img
flash --> dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=58368 count=522240 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
the other thing is inject root on dump, i have a virtual machine with ubuntu running waiting for that, you can see the related steps on here:

yes just like that, many thanks, now the more models we have the more fast we can get root working!!
edit: the commands for this should be:
dump --> dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=54272 count=458752 of=/data/media/0/system.img
flash --> dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=54272 count=458752 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

i think i figured out look at the xlsx attach i find the 3 values please look at detail on the spreadsheet!
for example for my 5.0.1 should be:
dump --> dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=58368 count=522240 of=/data/media/0/system.img
flash --> dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=58368 count=522240 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
the other thing is inject root on dump, i have a virtual machine with ubuntu running waiting for that, you can see the related steps on here:

if you are willing to work together to find our root, the answer is yes .
you are on sprint network ? or using GSM?, my problem is that, using the phone on int GSM, so I can not take the risk to run out of phone, until downgrade will brick my device.

i'm new to this stuff but am good at following directions. so if there is anything else you need me to do let me know (as long as it won't brick my phone, can't be without it! )

This is just what we needed, someone make a breakthru, somebody who can and have skills to do it thank you, wish you luck

I'm creating this thread to regroup all that I know about the LG G Stylo H636, Fido carrier. I'm doing this because I could not achieve root on this device.
I have been able to get into download mode, using the Send_Command.exe file. I was able to dump the system and recovery partitions (5.0.2). Both are available here: https://mega.nz/#F!HFgTQSzI!NHBjp2bpqVL6T9fByMJQ0g

I now have as a project to get TWRP working

Ok, I have managed to achieve root using Kingroot apk (not sure why it failed earlier)
I have dumped additional partitions, including the GPT sector. I will post more info as I get it - hoping to get a working recovery

I now have as a project to get TWRP working

It seems like flashing anything to the recovery partition caused the device to reject it. In the process of attempting to get xposed working, I bricked the device. I had shell access, but could not get root, as kingroot kept awaiting for a UI confirmation, but the UI was dead :/ I restored using http://pkg03.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW76ZGG232C6AY1303926B9/H63610k_00.kdz and am no longer able to gain access using kingroot. This was a 5.0.2 rom. I will attempt to downgrade to http://pkg02.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW061AC1322UAS9A166DFZZ/H63610i_00.kdz and see if I have better luck

I used kingroot and got root. I had to reset the phone by doing a factory reset because i had apps to SD app and it made an error come up with the UIR. The kingroot method works but seems to be temporary because if you uninstall KR you will lose root. The main reasion for me to root was apps to sd and it seemed that it did not work on the fido model and it pretty much deleted the apps and i used LG bridge to do a restore. Best method would to restore it with that or flash the KDZ rom posted in the other thread but you will get back to stock rom with a locked boot loader.

[WIP] command line nandroid-like backup all variants

Ok, so I successfully rooted my H810 G4 via LER. I was impressed with being able to dump the system.img of my phone, inject root into it, then write it back to my phone. So, I thought, why can't we just back up ALL the partitions of our phones this way and if something goes wrong, those of us who do NOT have a KDZ or TOT file to flash back to original factory can just go into download mode and dd our phones back to factory!! Now I have followed this tutorial here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450045
to learn how to dump partitions. HOWEVER, what I do NOT yet understand is why he does not use any of the bs,skip,count variables in the dd command. So I need help understanding these and I am doing more reading on it here and there. What I don't know is are these variables partition specific, or are they only PHONE specific and we can just use the same variables for each partition?
I have an ATT H810 running H81010b firmware. Here is all my partition info!

So if you guys can chime in and help get this figured out, also I will post updates for what I learn about it. Hopefully we can get this so that we can do backups this way until we get a custom recovery for the most of us with locked bootloaders!:good:

I too have been very interested in this... I made a backup of both the recovery and boot sectors on the phone. The ONLY problem I have is... HOW do I use a similar CWM or TWRP recovery, open those files, insert the required files into the STOCK recovery and dd it back to the recovery partition, so that I can flash my phone with custom Roms? There aren't too many Custom Roms for the LG G4 H810 (AT&T version) so, this isn't the most pressing thing... There might be more if I succeed at this. I am being very cautious as well too. I bricked one LG G4, and got the store to replace it. So now backing up everything is my #1 concern.
Peter, you sound quite knowledgeable about this... if you could point me in the right direction for HOW TO CREATE custom recovery images... I'd appreciate it. Not finding too much myself.
I am a linux admin for a big company. I am not happy that I don't have full Root on my phone. (Full root means SuperSU working and recovery image replaced with a custom image)

I think we need unlocked bootloaders to use a custom recovery.

Great... Some more info would be nice... Is the boot loader found in the Boot.img section?
I haven't found too many HOW TO create an unlocked boot loader sites, I am just finding ones where they have the final product (Here flash this).
Have you seen any Warri?

You know, I didn't even think about injecting files into the original boot.img. Wonder if that would work?
How did you back up your recovery and boot sectors? Was it with FlashFire? I've made a backup of my system partition from download mode using this command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=65536 count=579584 of=/data/media/0/system.img
from THIS THREAD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62028523&postcount=2
I have ALSO made a backup of my system partition by using this command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p53 of=/sdcard/system.img
following the instructions on THIS THREAD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450045
HOWEVER.. they are ALMOST identital in file size, but not quite. So I don't know if I would brick my H810 G4 by trying to restore my system partition using the file created via the second method...?
What I've also not tried yet is making a backup of any partitions using FlashFire.
What I'm trying to figure out is what are the exact commands to backup each partition in a way that we can RESTORE them if something goes wrong. And in this case I'm thinking restore them from DOWNLOAD MODE via the dd command. I need to learn more about why the first method of backing up the image contains variables that the second method does not, for example, the first method from download mode uses the command dd with the variables "bs=8192 skip=65536 count=579584", whereas the second method does not use these variables. I'm no dev, but if I can get enough free time away from the kids and madness :silly: I'm hoping to research enough to understand not only why these variables are used, but if they need to be adjusted for each partition backup and to which parameters. Since we're on the AT&T version, we don't have a TOT file, so if we screw something up we can't go back to stock. Now some guys have HARD BRICKED their devices and can NOT get into download mode, in which case not even a TOT/KDZ file will be able to be applied. But I think that if we can learn how to dd backup all the partitions from download mode correctly, then we should be able to dd restore those partitions if we mess up our phones and need to go back to stock!!! :laugh::good: This is my goal for now!!! But I like your idea of injecting things into the stock recovery!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's a great idea!!! Need to learn more about those variables and how to apply them to each partitions. IN THE MEANTIME, what I'm going to try to do is back up partitions one by one using the second method and MOUNT THEM in Linux/Ubuntu via this command
Code:
su -
mkdir -p /mnt/disk
mount -o loop yourImage.img /mnt/disk
cd /mnt/disk
ls -l
as shown in the thread here

If I find anything interesting... I'll post my results.

Great... Some more info would be nice... Is the boot loader found in the Boot.img section?
I haven't found too many HOW TO create an unlocked boot loader sites, I am just finding ones where they have the final product (Here flash this).
Have you seen any Warri?

Creating a bootloader it's something that is actually quite difficult to do typically you need the source code for every chip and I/O od peripheral on the on the board think of Arduino open sourcing everything in building your own board. LG probably won't release this since it would give away you know trade secrets. typically what we've seen in the past is that OEMs will provide unlock bootloader which allow people to custom flash open recoveries which allow writing to boot images and things along those lines however due to AT&T and Verizon restrictions we probably won't see an open bootloader released officially

+1 THIS!! That's why I am hoping to figure out how to "backup" and "restore" our partitions via dd at this point for no other reason than to "return to stock". One thing I have found is that when I have root I start messing around and when I start messing around sometimes I break something With a custom recovery I don't worry about it because I can just restore a backup, however since we don't have a custom recovery I am trying to learn how to backup and restore the partitions via dd in download mode.

So according to this article: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...plained-boot-system-recovery-data-cache-misc/ wiping the data partition is like doing a factory reset. I wanted to know if this was true or not so I went to my G3, backed up the data partition, then wiped it and rebooted and yes, it was just like I had done a factory reset on it. It worked fine. So... I guess for those of us who have made a backup of our system partition via the dd command in download mode, I guess we have all we need to go back to stock. This is so long as we don't flash the wrong KDZ/TOT file. I am not sure yet but I think the people who flash the wrong system.img file, like wrong firmware version, that end up getting the security error on boot up, I think all they need to do is just reflash the correct firmware system.img file and that takes care of it.. I'll have to double check the posts on that. So I guess just reflashing your original backed up system.img file then doing a factory reset will take the phone totally back to stock. It's sure looking this way as of right now. I am still reading up on partitions, etc..

I believe this to be true...EXCEPT the /persist partition where RCTD is found. Which seems to be preventing us from ugrading.

So how far did you get on this? My G4 developed the boot loop issue and will need to be sent away to be repair/replaced. Luckily I was able to flash the disable BIG cores fix to get it stable enough that I should be able to back it up. Just wondering now as I have a locked boot loader what the best way to do this is.
Do I use
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p53 of=/sdcard/system.img
and if so, on which partitions? I'd like to be able to just flash all the images back onto the phone when it's back from repair and have it be like it was before I factory reset it and give it to the courier.

Using DD to produce an image results in empty image

I am trying to take an image of my Android phone. Specifically I have tried to image the system and boot partitions. The imaging process appears to work correctly when using dd. However, when I attempt to mount the image in a loopback device the image appears to be empty. I also tried to see file contents by piping through cpio. Basically, I am trying to validate the image that I took. What am I doing wrong? Is there a problem with how I took the image or validation or both? Here are the steps to took (you'll see only the system partition below but I used the same process for boot)
