okay, so those .img files are imgdiff patch files which are useless for what i need...
has anyone figured out a temp root method at all??? or a pseudo memory root where a rooted terminal can be accessed where changes do not persist a reboot???
i really need actual pulls from the device.
the main file that i need is in the recovery.img called keys in the /res directory. this contains a list of keys that will be accepted in an update package. i've not had a whole lot of luck making the proper certs from these keys files (zte valet being a prime example), but i'm always willing to try.
but without a recovery.img pull i can't unpack the ramdisk and obtain that file.
and just making an update and signing it with the basic certs in the android repo are sure to fail as most manufacturers are using their own rsa keys. the zte merit/avail however--since it was a gingerbread device--zte had not made their own keys at that time and so the basic keys are accepted in its recovery. that's the only reason my update worked on the zte merit/avail
