[nasstyrome]

is anyone able to make a full cwm backup?

if so, post it.

f00kn bootloop

If you have ClockworkMod recovery / Rom manager working on your device, creating a full backup should be extremely easy.

when i did it sayed it worked i guess...

 

[metalbiker]

oops it backs up but no restore.

oops it backs up but no restore.

if its giving yo an md5 mismatch, most likely the backup is a bunch of empty files.

this would be a bug with the cwm.

if anyone has the time, im going to pull the boot and system and see if i can make a flashable img for odin.

find me on irc

i meant cwm backup/recovery option for this model. it's not implemented yet so boo

guess its back to pulling partitions

#after wiping /system, the bootloader was affected. here's some trial and error notes. (with less trial and error )

#update, was playing around with adb and the dd command again.

# i renamed the files from the names i backed them up to my sdcard with and they still restored so the above command can be switched to just boot/system.img



###### IF YOU HAVE AN UNROOTED RUSH, PLEASE TEST THIS COMMAND OUT WITH ADB.

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 of=/sdcard/stockrecovery.img bs=4096

^^^ THIS MAY BE THE SOLUTION TO THE STOCK RECOVERY & FIXING OUR CURRENT WORKING CWM. COME ON HELP US OUT


#this is a method to fix bootloops.

after the restore, ive connected to wifi and my mobile network, everything is working as far as i know.

ive got a copy of the stock bootloader available upon request if anyone needs/wants it.

you cant dd without root

 

[nasstyrome]

rofl, i completely forgot that. mind me, lack of sleep, blah.

we need to figure out how to dump stock recovery without rooting.
i suggest everyone with a few minutes to spare dd's while theres no stock rom yet, personal experience it will benefit you if anything /does/ happen.

you check this out @Shabbypenguin ?
http://android.podtwo.com/romdump/romdump_v82b.zip

romdump is a (very) simple program that dumps the BOOT, RECOVERY and SYSTEM partitions to your SDCARD, this will allow someone who is technicaly minded to create a recovery image... and that is a GOOD thing...

adb push romdump /data/local/
adb shell chmod 04755 /data/local/romdump
adb shell /data/local/romdump

then wait for it to finish, it can take a while.

Once the program has finished you should find a directory in the root of your SD card called romdump and a sub-directory named after your device model. Take those files and give them to someone who knows how to make a recovery zip.

guess the best we can do now is a rooted [debloated] stock rom(?)

Ok I am unrooted right now, need the phone for work so waiting for kinks to get worked out before i root. If I understand your post you need the rom dump from unrooted? I am willing to dump for you if it doesn't risk my phone. Let me know...

you can try running the romdump via adb without root. im not too sure if it requires root but it will not change ur current system and how it run, just copies and dumps.

let me know if it works.

I will try it when i get home tonight...

thanks, we need mroe unrooted testers, theres a way to recover now so nothing is irreversible.

ive tried all the methods on the forum as a test dummy and i will test but the stock rom is what i dont have haha. i wish i pulled the fll stock rom beforehand though.

figuring out what was where was the pain haha

 

[LesB]

Lol. Yeah i will stay unrooted for a bit so let me know whatbelse u need if anything.

building an os just for android deving on this device right now

so that i will do. the stock system is not crucial at this point sicne we have images to flash to restore the system, btu that doesnt mean we dont need an easy restore method.
