Do you have any experience with Ubuntu, when I try putting in a few commands, I am getting some errors. I figure it would be helpful to talk to someone who knows.

Yeah, I was using 10.1 I believe however found it incredibly difficult which forced me to load a windows partition. What error are you getting?
Yeah its easier to partition then use odin youll get that done quicket

I do not have a copy of windows or I would do that. I put this command, just the second one.
mv ~/Desktop/tools/adb ~/bin/
Then I get no such file or directory.

Just got Xoom WiFi tonight, let me know what I can do to help out the xoom wifi community.
I am curious. How were you able to extract the stock system dump image for the wifi version? Could you put down instructions since I am trying to learn these things.
Just a quick heads up. Moto was handing out DMCA notices on sysdumps. You may wanna save it for those who make it to #xoom on freenode.

2 & 4 Going to try the same method that was used for Droid2 and DroidX. Create module for OC. I have not had time yet to look at kernel but I see someone is already creating kernels so should be able to do it from kernel with multiple settings; not sure if kernel behaves same way as it does in Droid.
3 Not sure if bootstrap (clockwork recovery) is available yet for Xoom WiFi but if it is just make a backup before you mod anything.
Not sure what you are talking about with 5 and 6 ... I am a Xoom noob, only been out of box for a couple of hours

Thanks Angdroid for the system dump. I downloaded a copy of the system dump for kicks. I will keep it on my hard drive in case anyone loses it and needs a backup copy.
Hopefully we can create a stock boot.img soon for us wifi owners in case something goes wrong or need to return it to factory state. It looks like from the system dump we have access to the stock bcm4329.ko wifi driver.

I am not a developer. I just meant a community as a whole come up with the files for the stock boot.img.
Still no word from Motorola of providing the stock boot.img for the wifi Xoom.
Do you think it's possible to extract languages in Wifi firmware to flash 3g xoom?
Or flash with entire wifi firmware?
I don't think the adb pull way is the best way at it.
Creating an actual image using dd will retain symlinks and mod perms (not owners).. but it also won't dump a bunch of tiny >1kb files on your computer (whose cluster size may be over 4kb).. plus you can mount it as a loop device..
adb shell
# busybox dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/system of=/mnt/sdcard/system.img
and then if you want
adb pull /mnt/sdcard/system.img
but I wouldn't.. just using the mtp interface is faster..

What do you mean? are you talking about the ./system/vendor/firmware/fw_bcm4329.bin
I just compared the two system images for both devices
fw_bcm4329_mfg.bin is the only file with a matching checksum..
I gotta run.. otherwise i'd check the version with a hex editor..
I doubt you're talking about the wifi firmware anyways..

Hello Moto
I've just downloaded Verizon Jelly Bean 4.1.1 by "Firmware Team".
Just to play with it a little, extract apks and test them on Galaxy SII Skyrocket.
The thing is i'm having a hard time opening system.img.
Now i've tried LinuxReader, Unyaffs and ext2explore/read but none of these can open it, they all say that it's an unrecognized image.
Do you guys know how to properly open a stock moto System.img?

Google for a tool called simg2img (I used the python script that appears in get first few results, there should be other versions as well). That will unpack the image into a plain ext4 image that you can mount with any Linux pc (I recommend using a virtual machine if you have windows or mac).
Happy hacking!

aslomagic, did you try this with the firmware lingowistico is talking about? I also tried before to unpack system.img from this package, and system.img.ext4 from ICS package, and another ICS soft for XT897, and all of them give "Bad magic" error in simg2img. All of those softs are published by the same "Firmware Team" - maybe that's the case? I also tried dsixda kitchen (which also uses simg2img, but anyway...) and it also didn't work. Might be also some custom Motorola's approach to system.img....
Could you possibly help? Thanks.

Well, I know for a fact that those images are packed ext4, but I haven't tried specifically with that one.
Now that you mention, I think I remember signed images (like those ones) have some additional header, maybe that needs to be removed with an hex editor, or with dd of you like
If I get a chance, I'll try and report back...

Ok, I tried, and yes, it complains it cannot find the magic (again, I'm using the python script). I modified the script to look for the magic value in the first 50Mb of the file, and if it finds it, it starts unpacking from there. Python scripts are very easy to play with
It seems to work for me, but I don't have a linux vm handy to see if it mounts correctly (I'm currently on a mac). micx_pl, can you give it a try and let me know?
I had to zip the file even though it's very small because the forum won't let me upload a .py file... who knows, just unzip it.
Holy cow! It works! You're the master I was looking for such solution everywhere, and was stunned to see barely few topics with similar problem, and no solution at all. Thanks!

You're welcome to try ... my guess is that it could be made to work if the image was an official, originally signed image that was unpacked by the script above or equivalent, but if you want to modify it, re-pack it and re-attach the signature, most likely the signature won't match the content. But I may be wrong, so if somebody is willing to try, best of luck to you
If your goal is just to create a packed image, but not necessarily signed (needs bootloader unlock), then I'd say it's definitely possible, search around here.

i'm sure you're right about the signature not working on a modified image; it was just wishful thinking. the idea of course would be to inject superuser.apk and su, which wouldn't be necessary on a bootloader unlocked device.
for bootloader unlocked devices though, the ability to repack a modified image does give you another way to build custom roms. here's the code to unpack and repack images with simg2img.py and make_ext4fs:
Code:
mkdir system
./simg2img.py system.img.ext4 system.raw
sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system.raw system/
#make changes, then:
wc -c system.raw #lists size in bytes of system.raw
sudo make_ext4fs -s -l 1234567890 -a system system.img system/ #where 1234567890 is output from wc -c
sudo umount system
rm -rf system
i've used this proecess with samsung system images, should work for moto images now too (bootloader unlocked, of course)
Yep, it's a good cheat sheet reference
Besides, on razr m and hd at least, you can also use this with safestrap without unlocking the bootloader.

Yes, that's what I mean, more or less. You don't need safestrap to just mount it (use the terminal and "mount"), but you can use it to boot from it and try it.
I did this to try the Telstra image that pjcons dumped, which is pre-rooted and not signed (there it's no official signed image to date), and with a few tricks it worked without me having to unlock the bootloader.

Out of curiosity, is there anything else on the /oem partition? Can someone post a complete file listing or partition image? Are there any driver/binary blobs, or are those all in /vendor? I imagine a "format /OEM" function will be really handy to have in all custome recoveries going forward, as an easy way to remove bloat without rooting.

Here is what was in mine:
/oem/lost+found/
(empty)
/oem/media/
/oem/media/ringtones/
/oem/media/ringtones/ATT_Catch_Me.mp3
/oem/media/ringtones/ATT_Firefly.mp3
/oem/media/ringtones/ATT_Play_On.mp3
/oem/media/ringtones/ATT_Stargazer.mp3
/oem/media/bootanimation.zip
/oem/oem.prop
oem.prop contains one line:
"ro.config.ringtone=ATT_Firefly.mp3"
The entire oem partition looks completely useless and should be safe to nuke.
Edit:
I emptied the oem partition entirely. Going to do a quick round of testing and make sure nothing is messed up and report back.
Editx2: back!
Everything is working great. The only thing I noticed is that the call ringtone was initially set to "Unknown ringtone" after first boot. It was probably set by oem.prop and then couldn't find it after that. Just changed it to a different tone, works great.
My accelometer stopped working, can anyone make a backup of the AT&T oem partition, or grab the files and send them my way. I would be greatly appreciative.

Okay, I am attempting to #unlockthedroid, but first I will need dumps from "/dev/block". What I'm trying to do is pull off @CrashXXL methods of rooting with Write Protect=1 but allowing the potential of unlocking bootloader with Sunshine. And I don't want it to be done randomly, so this is what we'll need to do in order to get that dump:
Requirements:
Rooted
Bootloader Unlocked
Firmware to be at 4-21. It's easier for me. Or if you have anything below, it'll probably work too.
Willing to spend time; this'll take a VERY long time. So you'll need to leave your phone overnight or whatever it takes for it to finish copying.
Instructions:
Turn on ADB in settings. (If done already, next step)
Get ADB and Fastboot on your computer. (If done already, next step)
Go to ADB directory
adb shell
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p38 of=/(any directory)/(name your file anything - just remember the location combination)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When done, exit ADB
adb pull /(directory)/(file name)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Submit the file from the ADB folder to your own Google Drive, Mega, or Dropbox. Wherever you wish.
Files we currently need:
Droid Mini mmcblk0p5, 0p13, 0p33
Droid Ultra mmcblk0p5, 0p13, 0p33
Droid Maxx mmcblk0p5, 0p13, 0p33
There is also a certain block I don't know the mmc block number to, so when someone knows where partitions.mbn is then we'll be one step closer to getting my phone flashed and tested.
Thanks in advanced!
P.S.: Staff, please move this somewhere correct if where it is right now it's not.

I do not think that this would work, yes You can flash the 4-21 (all bootloader partitions + kernel + system) in the QLOAD mode, as You have access to the whole flash memory.
But the trusted boot chain will not let you boot earlier bootloader and system when a newer one was already there. Phone needs to be bootloader unlocked, to boot into any version.
It's worth trying. And plus, you never know what you can find if you try...
question is it possible to get a system dump from the following version -4.2.2-SU1-15-3 trying to unbrick my device and i need certain files from that version thanks been trying to do this for a while and no one seems to wanna help out

You can get all the bootloader partitions from the motoboot.img, see my post here.
Additionally You can extract the system partition with the simg2img tool from here, but this would be the original, not the rootet image,so You would need to insert the su binary by yourself.

If this is the method it would've been done already... But no, motoboot.img cannot be extracted for all it's worth. It has aboot, gpt, and many other parts we need to create a complete set of unbricking and/or bootloader-necessary files.

Sigh... I wish, my friend. I know what you want, but nobody's willing to provide it because of. @CrashXXL is nice enough to provide the unbricking files but nobody is willing to dump for SU1.

it actually is as easy as this, the motoboot.img file is just the bootloader partition images put into one file plus a 1024 bytes header. I have extracted these image and compared them with the dumps from my own phone and they are identical, so this motoboot is not compressed or encrypted.
If You still do not believe me just check for yourself, dump for example the aboot partition from your phone and compare it with the motoboot image from the FXZ file for your firmware version, I think you will find the aboot image inside the motoboot image at some 512bytes aligned offset (you can get the offset from the header, see the description in my post linked above)
Edit: I have added my code I wrote to extract the motoboot image to this thread

Not sure if you or anyone can do anything with it but I have a twrp backup of the boot and system from su1-15. Let me know if anyone wants it.

@mr_verystock are you still working on this?
Yes, I'm working on it. But I'm dealing with school, along with patching up a broken computer which I am planning to use for my daily driver. So currently I'm installing Linux, to do a mbn split.
Oh, and I kinda messed up my Droid Maxx while doing this... Don't worry, it's a backup, I have a Droid Mini as main.
WOHOO!!!!!!!!!
Is it rooted?
What version of Android are you on?
Ya still working on this?
Hey man. I have a (probably useless) Droid Mini "dev" edition (on su6-7). Today, I will be receiving a droid maxx on 4.4 (idk if its 19.5.3 or 19.6.3 yet) and i will be unlocking it with sunshine. if you still need files/help, i can help. (when you do start work on this again). my sincere hope, aside from a bootloader unlock for the folks on 4.4.4) is that somehow this will help the Turbo folks. (mofo root is good, but bl unlock is better). let me know if and when i can help man.
Hey, yeah, please let me know if you need anything once you get started again. I have a droid ultra that I just bought off groupon for $80.
YYUSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you VERY MUCH!!!!
Great thing I have a Droid Mini. Can you dump cid.mbn for 4.4? That's the file I want to mess with currently after you unlocked.
me or him, broheim?
edit: duh, me. ill have it pulled and uploaded tomorrow around noon
Is it uploaded to a hosting site or not?
i never saw any reply dude. i can upload what i have...but my mini is on 4.4.4. i have a maxx on 4.4, but no dice on that build. i thought for a moment i was crazy. if it helps you to have either or both, i will pull them right now and throw up a link to my drive.
Hm... I can't do anything with the 4.4.4 one, I'll take the Maxx on 4.4 cid.mbn. Sorry if there were any confusion!!!
