[Q] Rom Backup - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

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?

[DEV] Rogers Infuse owners, we still need one last thing! - July 30, 2011

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.
gtg465x said:
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.

[RECOVERY]ZTE V11A/V71A HC3.2 - CWM recovery

So guys.
Here is my humble CWM recovery, tested on 7 inch. Nandroid backup seems to work and flashing also. External SD card is used for reading.
Mounting of card to USB is not working yet.
Colors are now really fixed, including refresh.
Select is also now fixed and short press is working.
I am not responsible if you make some bricks to build yourself a new house. Anyhow chances of bricking are quite low, worst case is that your recovery will not boot and that's it.
I suggest that you make backup of your recovery partition before you start with dd or whatever so that you can flash it back in case something is not ok.
To flash:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
and
Code:
adb reboot recovery
to get to recovery
In the archive is my /device folder if someone wants to play some more.
I got the CM9 ICS booting into Launcher!!!
One more in for future needs.
Great to have mate, thanks a lot for your work.
I'll tell these guys you have a working version for rhe 7",
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473555
How can I backup? what do i have to type?
Thanks for your work!
You can make backup for example like this and if something fails you can flash it back directly in fastboot.
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

That will actually write img's to the partitions.
Backup is done this way
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot_backup.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/recovery_backup.img
jakaka you have sources now on utkanos git. You can contact him if you need any help to make backup to internal sdcard work.

Any progress on CM9?
Technically speaking You could probably contact MR Green from Cyanogen, He is in charge of the hp touchpad Which has the same qualcomm and adreno Chipset . Just an idea
Hi, I'm following your guide and the one in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473555&page=1, but I seem to be stuck in the installation of CWM.
I succeded in rooting the Vodafone Smart Tab 10, as busybox tells so.
Then I issued this command:
C:\Users\...\android>fastboot flash recovery v10_cwmrecovery.img
sending 'recovery' (6214 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... OKAY
Rebooting the tablet in recovery mode always gets me to the Android System Recovery <3e>: wasn't I supposed to be shown the clockworkmod recovery system? If so, what am I doing wrong?
I also tried with Utkanos' v11a version, but with the same result...
Thanks to anyone who will help me
Bye

[SOLVED] I solved using the software downloaded from http://wwwen.zte.com.cn/endata/mobile/Italy/, as suggested here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473555&page=59. Moreover, in that same thread (some days around the ones in page 59... ) I found a suggestion about removing some system files to avoid the loading of the stock kernel. I didn't do that, but in case anyone needs it, that could be another solution

[Q] GT-N8013 UEALI3 Stock Recovery Dump

I have a USA Galaxy Note that has been updated to UEALI3 and was rooted with chainfire's enos exploit app. I would like to dump the stock recovery partiton but I can not get it to work. I have run this command in terminal...
su
cat proc/mtd
At this point I'm told file dose not exist. I also used...
su
dd if=recovery-partiton of=/sdcard/recovery.img
This says my path is invalid. Please help, it seems many people are looking for this stock recovery for future OTA updates. I would like to provide it so it can be packaged into a Odin flashable *.tar for them and for my future use incase I want a Nandroid backup with CWR.
74 views and still no one has a answer? The recovery partiton is said to be one of the easiest to dump... I only need the revised command to enter into terminal, come on guys!

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) ?

[ROM] H910: FULL return to stock v10q

If you just don't want root, or your need to sell your phone, or whatever, you can use this to return your phone to stock v10q:
Flash this zip from TWRP. This is every piece of the v10q firmware: h910_10q_full_stock.zip
SHA1: 720f122605dda361b8d8de1abaa8a56326416056
Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache
Format data
Reboot
That is it. Your phone will be bone stock v10q.
If you want to root again after you flash this, use this procedure.

I flashed the system that went well when I flash the return to stock zip it ends with Error 1

What version of TWRP? I tested this on 3.1.1
I also have 3.1.1 .... I tried flashing from internal storage and SD card I did also check the SHA1's to make sure they match and they do. So what's the SHA1 out of the system image itself just to make sure it's correct once it's unzipped (considering I don't have a computer so I'm using my phone to extract the image)

I'm also getting error 1 trying to install the zip. TWRP 3.1
Unzip failed. Aborting...
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1

Would a log from TWRP of the failed flash help I can go try and Flash again and then copy the log if that will help

Well crap -- it must be a bad upload. I will upload a new copy in a bit.
Thanks @deadguyperez for the exact error: Unzip failed -- that means it is a bad zip.

Please don't forget to fix this I'm running WETA and it's fan-****ing-tastic so I'll probably never go back to stock but just in case I need to.... would be nice to have the files. Thanks boss! Stay safe.
Yea, dealing with the damage from Irma, but I should be back in shape by Wednesday.

First post updated with HOPEFULLY fixed zips. Since my H910 is currently my test bed for LAF research, it is bone stock so I can't test these. The worst that will happen is that you get an error. If so, PM me, or @ mention me in this thread so I can work with you to find out what is wrong.

@runningnak3d I got this error: Updater process ended with ERROR: 1. Error installing zip file /sdcard/download/v10m_return_to_stock.zip
Any ideas?
Also - The 5GB system.img file loads extremely quick. Seems sketchy to me, but maybe that's normal?
EDIT - I'm running TWRP 3.0.2-1 and it does say that the system image flashed properly. That much has been completed.

Crap. There must not have been a problem with the zip, but a typo in the Edify script.
Sorry about that, I probably missed a ; some place.
Obviously I'm lost so maybe someone can help me
1) 1st LG android phone and so far I'm worried. Phone is beautiful I got it for a $100 due to the camera lens glass being shattered.
2) I'm looking for which variant I have. I own the at&t v20 which number is that?
3) I'm looking for how to root the phone and boot loader. Is it currently possible? Which method can/should I use because the entire V20 section isn't broken down like the galaxy note.
Really appreciate all your time

That's the way to do it. Someone earlier tried but the return to stock zip errored out in twrp. Possibly a broken script.
