YES PLEASE!!! lol just get me a system pull, then in adb or terminal type this:

(if adb):
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot.img

(if terminal):
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot.img

to get me a copy of the system & boot.img , it should save to your internal sdcard

thanks bro

kinda forgot how to do a system pull/dump xD

edit:Wait is this the command dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs

 

[Spec2nirvash]

Jlede, do you have ADB set up on your computer? Or are you doing this with Terminal emulator?

sorry haha busy trying to help a few guys in premia forums atm..

but system pull is easy, just enable usb debugging, connect to pc in internet mode etc.. open terminal on pc in your adb directory then type in cmd box:

adb pull /system system

 

[Spec2nirvash]

Just do this, it will dump the boot.img and a system.tar all in one folder you can upload for drifta

adb shell

su

mkdir /sdcard/vv5dump
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/vv5dump/boot.img
busybox tar -cvf /sdcard/vv5dump/vv5system.tar /system

mkdir /sdcard/vv5dump
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/vv5dump/boot.img
busybox tar -cvf /sdcard/vv5dump/vv5system.tar /system

or that.. lol

 

[Spec2nirvash]

Well, if jlede has an sdcard root that looks like a missile hit, like mine, it will be easier to find LOL... that and one folder to upload. It's all good in any 'hood right?

 

[zandersig]

Nice, version 2 with vv5? I was kinda hoping someone would try cm10 again....

 

[justenjoy]

Hope you can combine it with the new firmware LDrifta! Maybe add some things you learned to it if you have the time But main thing is the firmware update added. ;D!

I was gonna do rapidshare till i found out that you can only do 200mb

 

[Spec2nirvash]

Hmm.... System dump and boot.img are 460MB. Trying to 7zip, don't think I'm gonna make it down to 200

Maybe if I remove some junk off of it?

upload it in 200mb portions lol

 

[Spec2nirvash]

Yeah LOL. I made it to a tar. Do you want the entire system image including bloatware? I was only able to compress it down to 242 MB. If I untar I'm gonna have bigger than the original 460

If I debloat I can prob squeeze to 200
