Roundabout Method
I don't mean to be a grave digger, but this method worked for me, perhaps someone else may find it useful:
Problems:
I couldn't get access to the partitions through adb shell, it kept giving 'access denied' and adb was not asking SuperSu for root permissions.
Solution: [I disclaim everything for legal purposes]
After a number of things, I finally copied the following into Google Keep (you can use anything, notepad, whatever, mainly to transfer a script-like function). WARNING, you DO need an External SD CARD (Verify through Root Explorer that the /sdcard2/ is your EXTERNAL SD card. Make a folder on it called "World" [or whatever], it will save there, else change [use replace all in notepad?] it to work):

(Copy with or add a final return character for the last line to run okay)
I installed Terminal Editor
I went into Terminal Editor, typed "SU" pressed enter, a window pops up from SuperSu, Grant TE superpowers!!
Now, copy the above 'script', paste into TE (It will start immediately)
Connect your phone to your computer, and copy the World folder from your external storage to your computer.
PS it takes about 3GB on near-stock, without User Data.
Mainly I wanted the radio files and such, but whatever now I have a whole backup
Yea you'll need an unsecured kernel for ADB with root and some other modifications. It will get only worse moving forward. On the M9, even more stuff is required to run ADB as root.
My script still works, you just need to work out how to grant root to ADB.
Unfortunately, that also means you will not have any means to run a full and true stock backup (clone) of your phone because you need to modify at least the kernel and the ROM (add SU) in order to have access.
On the M9, DD has even been disabled for most partitions even with S-OFF. There, you can not access quite a few partitions with dd write (read works), rendering such clone backups useless.

Hi there,
I'm working at creating a solution for JTAG repair on the SGS III T999V model and I'm in need of a SGH-T999V SBL dumps and a few other zones. I need a rooted user to simply perform the following command from a terminal on the phone, or while using ADB SHELL under the su user. Once at the command line issue this command, then simply upload the files which end up on your sdcard to me here. That's it!
Thanks in advance! If you are rooted, please step up and do the community a favor to make this solution possible...
NOTE: THE SGH-T999 HAS DIFFERENT LOADERS THAN THAT OF THE SGH-T999V. FOR THIS REASON, THE DONOR DEVICE OF THESE FILES MUST BE SGH-T999V.
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/sbl1 bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/sbl2 bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/sbl3 bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/aboot bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/rpm bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/boot bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/tz bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/pad bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/param bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/recovery bs=4096
Bump. This is an easy operation for any rooted user. I can even make it easier with a batch script if needed. The community needs this for your T999V...
Super simple request guys. If you have a rooted T999V please post up after running the above commands. These dumps do not capture any personal data and there is ZERO risk at doing anything damaging to your device.
I can probably help you with this man! If I'm having problems, I'll PM you by tonight
This would be fantastic. As long as you have a T999V this would be exactly what is needed to ensure the T999V is repairable when hard bricked via JTAG...
I'm kinda confused mann, I'm entering all the CODES ? By downloading Terminal Emulator on my phone?
Yes terminal emulator would work fine. Then you can enter them one by one, they will be saved to your sdcard on the phone. Then just put them online so I can download them.
Any luck buddy? I can walk you through any questions you may have.
Bump!!
Come on guys! Don't worry, this is important.
Ok I think I got all the files for you guys here..
let me know if I missed anything.
http://www.mediafire.com/?o77cos8yuh6k0dd
Just so other's know, we produced the world's first T999V a little over a month ago so this thread has succeeded it's purpose. Flash away guys, your hard bricks are fully repairable now...
Hahaha ^ yup! We are in safe hands.
Thanks to you...

Thats the d2metro
MetroPCS model I'm not sure if from a t999 will help. But It should.
I wouldnt use the T999 firmware on another model like this. And considering ive never seen anyone in this forum with that model you may have more luck with the Verizon forum.
SCH USUALLY, designates that it operates on verizons network. Though recently one was release that appears to use Sprints instead.

Hi people! I need backups from your phone F180L. Those who have F180L phone please make a backup. Go to the terminal emulator and type:

Those who know what this is about, need no explanations. Those who are not so sure, be aware that by doing this (specifically the line in red), you will be sharing your phone's identity. Nothing's wrong with that, as long as you know it.
What's in drm and persist images?

For these two, I don't know... Since I am not familiar with nuts and bolts of the DRM implementation on Android, I don't know what exactly is stored on that partition. As for persist, I was trying to get some info on it quite a while ago, for a different phone that is long gone, but couldn't find much.
