Hey guys!
Is anyone with an german shift able to dump his recovery partition and to upload it?
Thanks in advance!!!
My Shift still has its German recovery partition.
If you tell me, how I can dump that partition and upload it somewhere, then I could do it for you
Not sure about the recovery part - just did it the easy way. do a backup with acronis before first run and voila. Just one CD to recover them all. Send me a PM.

Thank you for your help!
As far as I know you first have to make recovery partition visible:

then just backup the partition with Acronis found here:

Tell me if it works

Hello guys,
Sorry for starting new thread with this request while there are plenty of similar threads in the forum, but non of them has a link to download the files on the recovery partition. And that is why I'm starting this thread. (there is only one dead link)
I must say that I've rendered my lovely HTC dead after I've played with the files on the recovery partition. Hence I need that original HTC English Vista system. Not a played with recovery image.
I don't understand about commands, and that guides on dumping ...etc. All what I need are the recovery partition files, simple copy past. Is there is any, please? Can somebody direct me to a link here or anywhere, please? Or copy past the recovery partition, upload it, or burn it on a DVD and I'll pay for hem, please?
Thanks,
Hey guys
The volume rocker on my HD2 is broken, and I have cLK flashed on my device. My problem is that I can only boot into cLK and fastboot mode as recovery is useless to me because I cant navigate through the options using the volume rocker.
I am looking for a rom (android/winmo) that is a .img file so that I can flash through fastboot, or if any of you know any other possible way I can flash a rom through fastboot so I can get my phone working again. Right now I dont mind which rom I flash, as long as I get my phone in working order again.
All help is GREATLY appreciated....!!!
If anyone also knows how I can compile a rom into a .img file so I can flash through fastboot, that is also welcomed help!
Any ROM you download that is for cLK has a. img file in it. you will have to extract the file from the. zip hou download to find it. Read my post here it will give youthe details on how to flash your ROM.

Hey bud, thanks for the reply, but my question still remains... what about the other 2 folders in the rom folder (META-INF and SYSTEM) what happens with those? lol....

Sorry for the late response but those two files do get used, the img file oules the information from them as it is flashing. To put it simply when you initiate the flash the img does the rest of the work. The img file is sort of like a cab file for Windows Mobile only it is not all self contained and has more functions than just to install the software. Note I said sort of not exactly like, that is just a comparison to help you understand. When you flash a Android ROM via CWM it essentialy just activates the img file to flash the ROM.
Daf roms come as a system.img
or
if you have access to another hd2, flash the target rom to it and then use mkyaffs2img command in the terminal to dump the system folder to a system.img file.
Benefit of this would be you can tweak the rom(reduce size for example, by removing unwanted apps) before you dump to system.img

Thanks for getting back to me buddy! Unfortunately I dont have a second HD2, and I dont know anyone willing to help me out in Greece, lol... Would you be willing to dump your system folder for me and upload it so I can use yours?? I would GREATLY appreciate the help... sitting with my HD2 "semi" bricked... lol
Also, if I use the .img file from the DAF roms, can I flash it using fastboot??? You have any suggestions on how I can flash it considering I cant use the volume rocker on my mobile?
Well id like to say yes but it's Easter weekend and my sons 1st birthday tomorrow, so the likelihood of getting near a PC are slim for a few days.
You could always learn how to use the android emulator,, build the image on a virtual hd2
As for flashing,,, no idea, no clue what fastboot does, magldr for me, but in your OP you implied you could use it to write img files to partitions.
You ever got a solution for this? I'm in the exact same situation right now.

I was supposed to provide the file but my net connection died halfway during download T.T

BUMP anyone ??
It takes only 10minutes provided you are running ICS 4.0.4 :l
I'm currently uploading CWM system of 4.0.4 for Arc to Google Drive, but I have slow upload so it will be around 45-60 minutes at least before I have a link for JJ.
This is compressed system and data folder.
Not CWM, not img
LT18i_4.1.B.0.431_1254-2184.7z

This is compressed system, data and vendor folder.

LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_1247-1046.7z
http://www.mediafire.com/?c6d3f0qyuo4quso
PS:
IF you add META-INF and proper update-script, can be used for CWM updating
This is CWM backup of the system image LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic World FR :
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0By9xc2HbjMA6dS1vcUV1eHlQdnM
and this is the rest of the CWM backup in case anyone wants it:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0By9xc2HbjMA6elMwZ0lwX3pjVzg
Take no notice of the date on the files being 1980. I took the backup before the first startup so that there would be no changes to the files and the current time wasn't set at that stage.
Both parts are 7zipped.

Warning, LT15 CWM system.img backup does not contain all files. LT15 has also vendor files, about 90Mb.
If you format system partition, and restore from those backups. You will lose lots of apk. FC everywhere
Suggest you to use LT18 files, less bloatware (LT15 has annoying France applications)
Thank you guys for the links... It made sure that Arc update comes side by side with other devices...
I am on it and done with 90% of the ROM... Only one bug to fix and then its ready for release...
Needed these Arc files to ensure you guys get Original drivers optimized for ur devices and not some ported one...
even if I couldnt manage those bugs I will come out with a Fully functional test release in 24-48hrs....

Huh?? Since you only uploaded zips I assume you are referring to my CWM backup img. What files do you claim are missing?

Can someone else confirm this claim? Which apks are missing?
I just formatted system and restored from my CWM backup, a short while ago, when I saw this post. I don't see anything missing, and no FC.
If there really is something wrong with my backup that I can't detect, then I apologise. But, since I have been able to restore successfully without problems, I'm not convinced.

You dont need to worry about that... I know what to do ..

Looking forward to the ROM
Should this be stickied so that other Devs can make use of arc libs directly ?
Hey,
Can someone with a Nexus 10 post a system dump?
Thx

Or you could just download the factory image... https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantarayjop40c

Just need to know something Blefish. In your mega drive, under Cust Partition, there are two files: hw-cust_data.zip and elisa-cust_data.zip. What are these files for?
I think they are both for custom partitioning the data, and none of them return you to stock partition. I think what the OP has done is accidentally flash one of them, and then flash the second one as well. Which has caused his partitions to be messed up.
But, please kindly confirm what these files are for?
Thanks.
Blefish, i've downloaded B526 Image files from your mega, but i think its not correct amss.mbn for B526, it size same as i downloaded before (23,5mb) before i replacing the amss, my amss original size upper than 23mb and my phone never get reboot automatically

Sir, i think my phone always get auto reboot its not causing by the partition. first time i got the problem in my other thread is my x5 working like normal but my x5 can;t detect a simcard, and now it can (i'm not fixing it, just maybe it has fixed by itself ) . but my stupid i do change the amss.mbn , before i got amss.mbn size is more than 23,5mb sir
So, the problem may causing my phone auto reboot is need to change the correct amss from the base B526
If someone can't upload the amss, i need to unpack update.app based on B526 and find the amss.mbn . but i don't know how to

Under cust/image, there is also cust_data folder. This is not really used in the 2.3 I believe, but it contains some carrier specific bits to Android. Not really necessary though.

The B528, B526 all use the B522 amss if I am not mistaken, so there is no difference.
