Hello will gladly do a system dump for you no problem as you long as you can tell me how to do it maybe in the right direction of rooting this phone .

 

When I boot into recovery there isn't a backup option there is
Reboot system
Apply zip from external storage
Wipe data/cache
Apply update from cache
Root
Those are the only ones I will try to put A screen shot up.

 

Here's a system dump of my Marauder. I hope this is going toward rooting the actual phone and not just the Breakout. I'm itching to root this thing.

Hey how where you able to do a system dump ratso. Every time I did it it either froze up or did nothing.

 

#terabyte128: The Marauder really only has two hard keys on the case -- the power button and the volume rocker. The only combination at boot up that seems to get a response is POWER + VOLUME-DOWN, which takes me to the little android in repose with his case open and a trianglar yellow warning sign. A push the buttons again and get the stock recovery mentioned by greyishere earlier. Could "Apply update from cache" work as a place to load CWM or a rooted img file?

#greyishere: I read your problems on the PC end so opted to use the ADB tools for Mac instead. From the Unix prompt, I used terabyte128's push command that dumped the system, which I then zipped up.

 

I should mention that the Marauder has a slide-out, five-row keyboard. Could any combination of these buttons be pushed at boot-up to initiate a fastboot?

 

Stupid me. :hmmmm2: The Android screen IS the Fastboot. I guess I was expecting some sort of header or something. I imagine the warning sign disappears if I'm hooked up via usb.

 

Fastboot is volume up +volume down + power . It will bring you too a warning screen then do do as the instructions say to get into fastboot, pdl mode or reboot

Thanks guys. Some ignorance of the android terminology on my part. The fastboot comes up -- a black screen with the fastboot header.

Is this a possible way for me to flash the CWM, perhaps?

 

There's no mtd directory, but recovery seems to be mounted at
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

In any case, I can't pull anything from /dev/ since permission is denied. And, since I'm not rooted, I can't activate su. A catch-22.

 

I know I'm bumping an old thread here, but does anyone have a lead on the stock Marauder ROM?

I need to reflash mine and can't find one anywhere...

EDIT: Turns out Verizon is just going to ship me a new phone. If anyone needs the stock ROM in the future, I'm going to make a full backup as soon as I get it.
