[Q] How to dump Radio/Modem? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to dump my own radio for backup purposes. How can I do it ?

well, if you want a backup of your radio, just grab the flashable zip for it and keep it in your storage.

there probably is, via adb, but i dont kniw the method. ive been keeping radio backups of my android devices since 2009, but its just the radio that im currently using zip. ill actually keep 2-3:variations in my storage, just in case.

adb pull /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem c:\modem.img
PS: use this on recovery or do adb remount first.

this is no flashable zip.
Just push it with adb or copy with a root-file-manager on your phone to /data/local
push it through cmd?

awsome bootanimation!
Problem. I have a rooted Desire with Defrost ROM. When I go with astro file manager to \data there is nothing in this directory. I can not create a folder local or copy the bootanimation.zip to it

This is because /data is not mounted...
You have to go to recovery mode to mount & push.
You can also try the PC-Suite in my signature, which will do this all automatic

Oke, choose backup rom from Rom Manager. It rebooted my phone, did a backup for:
Backing up boot,
Backing up recovery
Backing up system
Backing up data (took some time )
Backing up .android_secure
Backing up cache
Backing up sd-ext
Generating md5 sum
Reboot my phone. So now I have a nandroid backup from which I can always recover right?

now search for HTC sync and dowload and install it on your pc ( if you haven't got it yet)
there are the drivers you need.
Then download my suite and extract it. download this bootanimatio, rename it to bootanimation.zip and place it in /data/bootanimation in my suite.
Now start the suite and follow the instructions

[Q] any functional ROM (stock or any) that has Valid signature!

I'm looking for any ROM to work on the Hero i deleted the fonts from.

Thanks

take a rom, open it with winrar or any extractor and take /system/fonts out of the zip..
(if you need sense fonts, use a flashable zip sense rom, otherwise AOSP)
AOSP fonts do also work on sense, the names are the same
root your phone..
then set up adb , some good guides here on the board..
connect phone with usb, no sdcard mounting
now:
Code:
adb remount
adb push yourfont.ttf /system/fonts
(repeat as long as you have ttf files: might work if you use *.ttf)
adb reboot
if you don't want to root, i don't know how to do it
EDIT: hope you are already rooted because with no fonts, how would you root your phone,
or install the necessairy files.. didn't notice it yet
grtz
that was not possible
i had to downlaod last rom at http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all , install it back to 1.5, then upgrade all the way OTA till latest version for it (a.k.a 2.1) , now back to normal
unfortunately had todo it via windows

you can setup adb in windows..
He used the RUU
@Bashar, if you root it again and want to experiment. Make sure you got a custom recovery. Easier to solve mess I guess You can create back-ups of your normal ROM in it as well. Anyway, glad it is back to normal.

Xoom WiFi System Dump 3.0.1

Working on trying to get some deodex love going...
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.

1 is being worked on...NVM...Check out jwtyler one click root thread.
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

Sweet
Drop me a line if you want to try to bang out some stuff together...
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..

[Q] How to geenrate system.img

Hi all,
Is there any way to pull out the system completely into a .img format? Since I did some modification on my system, I was wondering if there is an easy way to create a .img out of the unit itself. Thanks!

You need recovery and that's not available yet.
Ah I see.
Another question regarding this, I notice that there is no parameters under fastboot that allows pulling the system image, but it can flash one. There aren't any options?

If dump_image can get NAND read access from within Android system, then yes. It'll probably have to be run as root.

This is the best build of Firefox OS I have ever used, omg. I don't know what it's like for you, but I can't find many bugs.
thanks man
overall i like it
the only negative is when unstick App Transition, opening/closing app/setting becomes very slow (in 1.4 i did unstick to make it faster/smooth)
2.1 works well, however 1.4 is more refined, closer to being released, Once 2.1 gets closer to being released it will be the preferred firefox version.

But could you please explain how to use .50 recovery?

You don't have to adb push the recovery to sdcard, use fastboot to boot recovery.
fastboot boot cw_recovery_50.img
or to install recovery
fastboot flash recovery cw_recovery_50.img

Well I've got an sdcard in it which I used on 1.4. Or do I need to initialize it or do anything in particular? I even did 'format' of the recovery menu..

Unless you have used recovery to make a backup, then you need to create all the folders, if you have used recovery to make a backup, folders would have been created except for new_2.1, which is made when you extract 2.1.
if you don't have /clockworkmod/backup folders on your sdcard you need to make them, then in /clockworkmod/backup extract 2.1
in recovery mount external_sd
then post output of
adb shell ls /external_sd/
adb shell ls /external_sd/clockworkmod/backup/
Thanks for the tip!
I managed to get .50 recovery working, but now when I am restoring from external_sd it says:
Error while restoring /system!

I re-downloaded it and it now falls with hash mismatch for system.ext4.tar.a
I tried formatting the sd card with .50 recovery but it still gives that error.
Is there any way to do the update via fastboot by any chance?
No, your sdcard is bad, if you have room on internal sdcard, make folders and extract 2.1 there.

I just did an adb push to the card:
adb push new_2.1 /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/new_2.1/
But when I'm in .50 recovery - it does not see the new_2.1 folder. It only sees the one it created earlier when I did a backup.
Any idea what the heck could be wrong? xP
No ideal without looking at your sdcard.

Sorry about all the stupid questions, just the last one - can it be done via 'zip install' in recovery by any chance? Or does it have to be through restore?
The version I uploaded is restore only, you could make a zip install if you want, use Google to find info how to build cwm installation zip.
sent from my kingSing T1 via taptalk
Ok, thanks for the help!
I'll post the zip here if I succeed in making one.
