[Q] How-to: Create Odin System Restore files. [NO-ROOT] - Fascinate General

Hey guys.
Okay, so here's the deal: My wife and I both have Fascinates (BOGO). Mine is rooted, ROM'd, and basically nothing like a fascinate anymore. Hers...is stock.
Completely stock; No root, no CWM.
I would *love* to be able to take a snapshot of her phone...just in case I *really* hose mine. ..but I will not root it.
Not possible, right? Well, gotta ask anyway:
Is there any way to create Odin restore files from her phone without root/cwm? The only instructions I could find involved root and adb... (Which I just followed on my phone to do my nandroid image one better)
Ultimately, I would like to backup her system/kernel/recovery without any user-data as one Odin package (...or even a .zip rom?)
Possible?

well if you just want a stock odin restore, it's available. see below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204

Not entirely stock and thus completely useless for my purposes here. I am familliar with odin as far as restoring goes, but getting a complete system dump from an unrooted, stock recovery (No cwm) phone is the goal here.

Sure. I mean you can unroot it pretty easy, but it sounds like you have a pretty strict criteria. good luck with it.

adb shell cat /dev/block/stl9 > /sdcard/system.rfs
adb pull /sdcard/system.rfs .
tar --format=ustar -cf system.tar system.rfs
I *think* will work for odin. At the least it'll get you a completely stock system dump in rfs format

No su binary, no. if it doesn't work without root, then just use the rage exploit for temporary adb root.

That will wipe all the data off your phone, of course. Make sure you have a backup of your apps and data.
I don't really understand what state your phone is in. If you haven't done anything like re-do the oem unlock, you should just be able to flash/boot to Clockwork Recovery and then flash the superuser zip again. Try this method.
That happened to me too when i updated to 2.3.2. What I did is use the superboot for 2.3.2. Its in the android development section. Just look for it.

Update to ei22 from any rom with root, cwm, and modem without a pc

This will work without a pc only if you are on ec05 modem, if not get your ass there
So since I'm in the process of moving without my desktop and have no acess to a pc. I updated to gb fairly easily with cwm and root.
This can be done with any rom.
if you mess up and let it boot at the 2 points I tell you not to, then you can get stuck with stock GB without root or cwm.
You will have the modem on the bright side!
I stated off with RandomRom, but you can be on any as long as you have the ec05 modem.
1. Download what you are goingto need,(the acs cwm is your choice.) Thanks to thoes who orginaly posted these files.
1a. the stock ec05 rom with the green cwm 3.1.0.1 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027904
1b. EXTtoRFS found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9992367/gotorfs.zip
1c. The ec05 to ei22 update zip found here: http://android.clients.google.com/p...a5ff039a0c97.SPH-D700_update_EC05_to_EI22.zip
1d. Su.zip found here: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip
1e. Acs cwm (optional) found here: http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=Epic/ACSRecovery/
2. After the files are on your phone make sure your on ec05 modem.
3. Boot into cwm doesn't matter I believe what one you have I started with acs's cwm.
4. if you are not on Rfs flash the zip to get there.
5. wipe everything 3x.
6. Flash the stock rfs ec05 rom.
7. Once finished reboot, as soon as you select reboot use the 3 finger to get back to recovery (do not let it fully boot). You should be back to the green cwm 3.1.0.1
8. Install the ec05 to ei22 zip just like any rom, I didn't wipe **** this time.
9. When finished flash the acs cwm or any flashable version you want.
Rebot the phone in cwm while holding the 3 buttons to go back to cwm(do not let it fully boot).
10. Once in cwm either acs's or any you flashed, flash the su.zip to obtain root.
11. Reboot and let your phone power up. You should now have ei22 with modem, cwm, and root.
Hope this helps somene or makes updating easier for you!

Most clear and concise guide so far. Well done!
Thanks I live in B.F.E. Ohio and didn't want to wait to have GB with root and cwm, and without a pc I was lucky it worked!

Crap... i rebooted my phone after the update and now im unrooted >_>
Yeah, I'm a retard. Rebooted without installing su. Now I have stock recovery and can't root.
Tried renaming su to update.zip but it failed.
Am I out-of-luck until I can get to a pc? Maybe I'll go home "sick"...

I tried gingerbreak on the nanoid version of ei22 yesterday and couldn't get it to root. Might be my phone, but that's the only other way I know to root then use cwm app to install cwm 3.1.0.1

Gingerbreak's exploit apparently has been blocked since 2.3.3, so it isn't your phone, it's the rom. You'll have to odin cwm when you can get to your pc, then boot into recovery and flash nubernel or a comparable slightly modified custom kernel *before* normal booting for the first time - otherwise, you'll lose cwm due to a script in the stock kernel that reflashes stock recovery.
For root, I'd recommend flashing the su zip in recovery, may as well do that after flashing the custom kernel. You can find the necessary downloads in one of the how-to threads that have popped up today, I'm sure they'll be easy to find for at least a few weeks
I hope this helps clear up some confusion

Just realized cwm is gone after first boot, that blows
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
This worked for the ROM and root, but now all I have is stock recovery. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to get CWM back?
Ok, after a subsequent battery pull, I lost root. It was all an easy fix after doing some research. Basically, I used ODIN to flash the keyfix kernel. After a re-boot, I used ODIN to flash the ACS recovery. After booting into recovery, I flashed the su.zip. I now have root and ACS recovery. I even did a battery pull and it still works.

stock rooted gingerbread??

I am using Froyo stock and rooted right now (my phone is not stable on any roms for some reason). So should i just put my phone back to stock and update then reroot? Or is there a better way? I cant seem to find the stock rom to flash.
You can remove the root and then go to GB and then re-root.

Just remove the root? do you mean flash back to stock using odin? I dont know how else to do it.

That's what I did, I used Odin to flash back to stock EC05 and am waiting for the OTA, then I'll probably reroot when a reliable method has been worked out. It seems right now there's a lot of workarounds to get root and CWM to stay.
Here is how I did it:
Odin to stock EC05
Download update.zip to SD Card and install through samsung stock recovery
Odin mkasic's kernel followed by CWM 3.1.0.1 Purple
Flash SU.zip, GPS-Fix.zip, EC05AdFree.zip
Advanced Restore of /Data through CWM
Up and running with all my existing settings, has been solid for 24hrs with no fc's.
If he's stock EC05 and rooted then you can just use the one click root windows application and remove the root. Then apply the EI22 update.zip and then do the current root method for EI22. He doesn't have to lose everything if he's on stock froyo.

It will ALWAYS be a workaround solution. So there is no need to wait for that specific aspect... since the wait would be infinite. The problem with recovery not sticking has to do with the new stock kernel. The "workarounds" require a modified kernel.

1st use this, there is an un-root option:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
then you can load the update.zip in stock recovery
then to get back on root do this:

I am on stock with bloat removed. Will this work as well or will I have to odin to EC05 and lose everything? I figured I would have to odin back first.

If all you've done is rooted and removed the bloat it'll work so you don't have to loose everything.

The easiest way to do it, I think, is to do the manual update from stock EC05 to stock EI22. I did this procedure and have had zero problems. I used heimdall personally because I run Linux.
Once you have your stock GB up and running, odin/heimdall your cwm or acs recovery.bin and hold down the three button combo while it auto-reboots.
You'll get into the custom recovery, and you can flash su.zip and anything else you'd like while you're there.
Reboot the phone, and you should see that you're rooted just fine. The problem now is that there is a script that gets run on every startup called "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" that re-installs the stock recovery on every boot. Now that you're rooted, use whatever means you'd like (file expert, terminal emulator, etc.) to get into /system/etc/ and delete that file.
You'll have to do one final odin/heimdall of the custom recovery.bin, but after that, you should be rooted and have a permanent custom recovery on stock EI22!
Sure, it's a workaround, but it's not that hard, and it works! It's easy to let the devs do everything for us, but every now and again it's good to get into your device and figure out the way things work on your own.
Good luck!

Thanks followed this guide made cwm 3.1.0.1 and root sticked. I am like many others likes to have everything as stock and as little changes so i didnt want to flash any custom kernel. This method will retain everything from stock just minus 1 script.
This is my revised method which only need to flash cwm 3.1.0.1 in odin 2 times and it will stick there forever.
Comming from a bone stock EI22
1. flash cwm 3.1.0.1 with reboot checked off (nothing check), put file in pda.
http://drockstar.devphone.org/EpicTar/cwm3.1.0.1.tar.md5
2. when its done, unplug data cable and pull out battery.
without rebooting system.
3. vol down, camera, power, to get into cwm recovery
4. install su.zip and reboot the phone (now you have root)
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip
5. install es explorer from market
5a. under menu/setting check the box root explorer and mount file system
5b. browse into phone /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
delete "install-recovery.sh" script or move it to your sd card if you want to retain a copy.
(long press into that file and delete option will come out)
6. shut off your phone
7. odin cwm 3.1.0.1 again with reboot checked
8. restart, cwm and root will be stick forever.

I think it would be a good idea to copy that script and put it somewhere instead of deleting it just in case you want to go back to bone stock in the future (who knows an ICS update LOL). Once copied, then delete the file.

you can odin the ec05 stock rom and update to ei22 and it will put that file back in. doesnt hurt to move that file to your sd card i guess.
Here is the stock EC05 ROM you are looking for. It formats your phone back to the RFS file system, but keeps your phone rooted and with CWM3.1.0.1
There is also a link on that page if you want to make your recovery go back to stock as well.
If you want to just ODIN and get onto EI22 stock, check this out. It's still RFS but it's deodexed, so a little faster. Comes with EC05 modem, which seems to still be more stable than the EI22, especially when it comes to Wifi.
EDIT: I take that back, that EI22 isn't so stock anymore, but it's closest you're going to get to a stock-ish EI22 that actually functions.
Odin back to stock EC05, update.zip, modified kernel patch and cwm the su.zip worked for me.
One question though.. stock OTA/update.zip is ODEXED, correct? Can I deodex what I have or do I need to re-flash a deodex stock rom and would I do it before or after uninstalling bloat?

OTA stock is Odexed, correct. Deodexing yourself takes some time... it's not just removing files, you'll have to edit quite a few things. If you're going to deodex your system using the ROM, you just ODIN it from wherever you are now. It will erase everything, like starting from scratch. But you can restore your data on top of it if you backed it up first.

In the absence of a stock flashable ROM, and if you can still get into CWM, you can do the following:
1. Mount system in recovery
2. Pull the build.prop via ADB (I believe it's adb pull /system/build.prop) on your computer
3. Revert/fix whatever tweaks you jacked up when messing with it earlier (on your PC)
4. ADB push it back
5. ADB reboot
If build.prop is all that was wrong, hopefully this may get you back in business.

You will need the stock kernel and your /system partition must be completely unmodified. Bootloader state and recovery don't matter. After accepting an update you will lose your custom recovery and root, so you will have to reflash but that's no big deal.

You have to flash both system and boot, plus do a full data and cache wipe. As long as you do that and you don't let root apps modify files on your /system partition, the update should install fine. Also, keep in mind that when you get the OTA notification on your phone, you cannot just select "Restart and Install" if you have ClockworkMod recovery. OTAs will only auto flash if you have stock recovery. If you're using ClockworkMod recovery, you'll have to pull the OTA file out of your /cache folder and put it on internal storage somewhere, then flash it manually in ClockworkMod.
OK so am I flashing the boot image and system image through fastboot? If so how do I do that? If not...how do I flash them?

Correct. Just extract system.img and boot.img from the package you download, then plug your tablet into USB, boot it into the bootloader, and do the following two commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
If you want to wipe data, also do:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
That'll get you back to complete stock.
OK so were am I extracting these files to? Root of mysd card, desktop, etc? Thanks a bunch for your help btw I'm just not experienced at all with flashing outside of recovery or odin

Did you use the JOP40C factory images downloaded from the Google website somewhat recently? That error is caused when you flash the original set of JOP40C images released when the Nexus 10 first came out. There was a bug in them that Google fixed. They posted new images. You can download them at http://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images or http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-10/mantaray.
Also, what I mean about root apps modifying /system files...so there are a lot of root apps out there that make tweaks to your system...stuff like making changes to your GPS config files for quicker lock-on, you yourself going in and deleting unwanted apps out of /system/app, you or an app making changes to build.prop, installing busybox in the wrong place and having it overwrite system commands with its own...things like that. If you or any app make any change whatsoever to any file anywhere on /system, an OTA will fail every time. It checks the hash of each and every file before applying the update and if a single one of them doesn't match what it expects, the OTA will fail. So just keep that in mind.
But that error you're getting about set_perm is most definitely caused by using the original, bad set of images that Google put out there. Download them again, try again and you should be in business.
