ADB Backup

Hi All,
I've backed up my device using ADB with the following commands:
mkdir backup
cd backup
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bin bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/bml2 of=/sdcard/pit.pit bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/bml4 of=/sdcard/Sbl.bin bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/param.lfs bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/zImage bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/stl10 of=/sdcard/dbdata.rfs bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=/sdcard/cache.rfs bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096"
adb shell su -c "tar -czvf /sdcard/data.tar.gz /data"
adb pull /sdcard/param.lfs .
adb pull /sdcard/zImage .
adb pull /sdcard/factoryfs.rfs .
adb pull /sdcard/dbdata.rfs .
adb pull /sdcard/cache.rfs .
adb pull /sdcard/modem.bin .
adb pull /sdcard/efs.rfs .
adb pull /sdcard/boot.bin .
adb pull /sdcard/Sbl.bin .
adb pull /sdcard/pit.pit .
adb pull /sdcard/data.tar.gz .
And I would like to give the backup to some of my friends, but I would like to verify there are no "personal data" on the backup (I did a factory reset before the backup and there was no contacts \ data that was mine), I don't know what type of data should I delete from the files, (like IMEI and serial data..).
Please help me find out what shouldn't be on the backup,
Thanks,
AYahoo.

[R&D] Get ROOT! SGS3

LOL
might as well start this as it'll be hitting soon
Since it's ICS 4.x the most obvious choice to go about it would be via ODIN assuming, good old odin still works in SGS3
but before all that, we'll need a dump of the SGS3
so whom ever gets you hands on first on a SGS3 try to pull these
dumping / backing up your own stock ROM via adb
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/amss.bin
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/mdm.bin
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/system.img
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot.img
adb pull /sdcard/amss.bin
adb pull /sdcard/mdm.bin
adb pull /sdcard/system.img
adb pull /sdcard/recovery.img
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img
upload it multiupload or whichever your favourite file hosting service, then we can all hammer out the kernel to root it, and flash it back to the phone

Which means.. you cannot dump partitions in order to root, as you're not rooted

[Request] Oppo Find 5 'boot.img' extract from device

Hey Folks,
Is there anyone who wants to extract the basic stock kernel from the Oppo Find 5.
I don't have the Oppo Find 5 yet, but I want to make a custom kernel for it.
Instructions:
- Make sure you have ADB set up
- Make sure your device is in USB debugging
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/boot.img
exit
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img
Thanks in advance!
Ps: A big thanks to the one that wants to do this!

you probably want the ramdisk.gz ?

if you want a walk through of building the kernel source

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there is any support for the T-Mobile LG Optimus F6? I was able to pull the aboot.img from the device, but I am not sure if this is even compatible or not? Here is the aboot.img attached to this post. Is it possible for someone to take a look at this? Thanks!

finally i figured a way to fix this issue. it worked for my locked H818P, hope it helps everyone
you need root for it.
here are the steps:
1. setup adb
2. enable USB Debugging
3. connect your phone to the PC and open an adb command window
4. execute these commands
Code:
adb shell
Code:

I really thank you very very much. I have found the way to fix this problem more than a week. Finally found this post. Current Im very happy because my phone is working, It has signaled. Once again I would like to thank you very very much. Good luck to you.

How do you enter su mode. For me it is denied despite phone being rooted and running adbd app on phone to supposedly allow the su mode.

Complete Backup using PC (before rooting)/Restore after (nougat)

No fancy stuff for now, this guide will be to the point.
We are going to use TWRP that mounts only data and cache and dd command to backup all partitions to external_sd
Things needed:
Unlocked honor 7x with twrpimgmount installed : Go here
A 16gb memory card
Instructions:
1. Reboot your phone to recovery and connect it to PC
2. Open cmd in pc and navigate to adb and fastboot dir (you did this when you flashed twrp using fastboot)
3. run following commands one at a time (wait till it back ups)
Code:
adb shell

How to restore? (consider we have to restore system)
1. Reboot to twprimgmount
2. Copy your backed up image to external_sd
3. Run following command
Code:
adb shell
dd if=/external_sd/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p44
Join Telegram group if you are willing to test latest stuff.
Note: You can also use the TWRP backup function to get a stock backup. Restore it using twrp to get back to stock
DO NOT UNNECESSARILY RESTORE ALL PARTITIONS, IT MAY BRICK YOUR 7X.
A script @skippotter to make all this easy (not tested by me)
Follow next:
1. Flash magisk 14.0 (I use this) or Super su
2. Use different region firmware without rebranding

I have a question because I think I may be missing something. I understand this is a complete backup to PC. But, if I have flashed twrp to recovery and recovery2, will this method still backup those original .imgs?

No it won't, it'll backup twrp recovery instead
But you can get stock recoveries from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=23956#downloads

Just a note for anyone trying this, make sure your external_sd is formatted exFAT not FAT32 or any file over 4gb, (system.img and userdata.img for me) will fail.

Here is a batch file that will work on windows to run all the commands sequentially

Can anyone Backup Vendor,Version,Product and Cust.img for L21C432 and upload please?
Or have anyone a Full Stock Twrp Backup for L21C432?

@Sudeep Duhoon What's the total expected size of userdata.img while backing up?? I'm using a 16gb sd card and it's showing I/O error at first line but copying around 9gb successfully.

is unlocking bootloader necessary for this? can't we just boot twrp by "fastboot boot twrp.img" and make backup with cmd?

when i restore my backed boot.img to /dev/block/mmcblk0p28, it is not working too

yes it will work if you can boot TWRP
But this would still require an unlocked bootloader
someone in another huawei forum have said that booting TWRP was not working (maybe disabled in fastboot)

instead of sdcard can we make backup directly to pc (in adb folder), what will be command for those?

Someone have backup for L24 they can upload?

I did it a bit smaller and more generic in case Huawei is going to add another 200 partitions ... but in general it is your approach.

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "unable to read /dev folder ... probably you are not root?"
exit 1​fi
for a in `ls ${srcdir} | grep -v userdata`; do
b=`ls -l ${srcdir}/${a} | cut -f 2 -d '>' | cut -f 2 -d ' '`
echo $a points to $b
if [ "$(ls ${b} | wc -l)" == "1" ]; then

I would like to know the same thing. I did the backup, but it turns out my system and usersata were 0 bytes. Could really use a L24 backup of those partitions if someone has it available please.

kindly help me please
Can someone post the link to complete backup of the phone , my phone is dead

I need the original system partition so that I can restore the original recovery and update for volte.
Thanks!

If I wish export storage to pendrive with OGT adapter, not need abd shell?
Can you help me about commands 'd use? 'll be possible from terminal emulator with root?
Thanks before!!!!
