Hey guys.
I am currently working on making my app "kTool" compatible with the SGS3 (see here and here), for the intl. version I9300 it already works fine, but there seem to be quite some differences on the i747....
I am missing some details on partitions used on the i747.
I already found the EFS partition (mmcblk0p11), but I'm missing the partitions for kernel, recovery, modem FW and PARAM block.
If anyone know those, please do tell
And/Or I could really use the output of the following two commands on a terminal/shell:
Code:
su
ls -al /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name
ls -al /efs
Thanks

There seems to be even more different than I was already afraid it'd be....
Some folks on the Sprint side posted some info as well, and yes, there seem to be several differences compared to the international version.

Thank you!
I am slowly gathering all required information to make it work on those models.
Another thing that confuses me is the lack of "nv_data.bin" in the /efs folder.... So the standing question is: Is backing up that folder and dumping the partition it's mounted from really enough? Or would other locations needed to be backed up as well to have the IMEI saved?

You may want to get together with zeesubalpha, he's working with IMEI stuff in this thread.
Thank you for your work on this.

Yah, but in the wrong direction - backing up the EFS partition seems no longer to be the way to back up that sensitive data holding the IMEI and stuff: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28677774&postcount=51

Well, there are a lot of partitions on the device that are not necessarily visible all the time.

For anyone who needs to dump the /dev/block/ images, but doesn't have a big external SD card, here's a neat trick.
I wanted a dump of mmcblk0p15 (userdata), but only have a 16gb external card. So, I used this command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 bs=4096 | gzip -c > /mnt/extSdCard/userdata.img.gz
This piped the dd dump into gzip, which in turn compressed the image. So, what would have been a little over 12gb ended up being a little over 41mb.
To extract the image in Cygwin or in Linux after using adb to pull the file to a PC:
Code:
gunzip -c userdata.img.gz > userdata.img
That tiny file that had been compressed to around 41mb extracted to a little over 12gb! Just a tip for anyone who doesn't want to purchase a bigger sdcard just to make a backup.
Hi there,
I'm working at creating a solution for JTAG repair on the SGS III USC model and I'm in need of a SCH-R530M 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!
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/sbl1 bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/sbl2 bs=4096

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 all.
Need some help with backup of
mmcblk0p2
mmcblk0p18
mmcblk0p25
mmcblk0p26
mmcblk0p33
mmcblk0p37
From T-mobile m8
For backup them need:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2.img;
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/radio_config.img;
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p25 of=/sdcard/modem_st1.img;
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p26 of=/sdcard/modem_st2.img;
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p33 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p33.img;
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p37 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p37.img;
Thanks.
PS: Its need for me, as I make gsm dead (no imei and unknown Radio in OS, in bootloader all present fine)
For this needed only terminal, not even root, and I realy apreciate any response.
To check which block causes this need backup from 2 M8 T-Mobile on 4.x.x.x FW (last)
