[Q] Backup/Restore using DD and ODIN - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any help will be appreciated :good:​
As you know backup and restore partitions can be done using dd command in linux.
I know it's not noob friendly, but since custom kernels and recoveries raises flash counter, it's a good idea.
rotohammer has made a detailed explanation here for Galaxy Tab.
So all we need the block device list for note 2
/dev/block/mmcblk0 Whole Internal Storage
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 4194kB BOTA0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 4194kB BOTA1

/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 4194kB m9kefs3
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 8389kB PARAM
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 8389kB BOOT (Kernel)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 8389kB RECOVERY

So far I know
/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 = /system
/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 = /cache
/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 = /data
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 = /efs
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 = /recovery
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 = /boot (kernel)
I'm not a linux expert, can somebody confirm/correct these?

Perhaps you should find out what the mount command does before you start using dd to read and write directly to the partitions. These sort of commands don't take prisoners

I said I'm not a linux expert, it doesn't mean I'm totally noob. I'm using Lubuntu on my netbook.
I'm well aware of risks, I'm using dd on PC time to time.
Mount only shows mounted partitions. I'm asking those partitions. I couldn't find a full partitions list anywhere
There are many partitions and I want to know what they are
Code:
cat /proc/partitions

For some reason listing partitions by-label doesn't work either for android or block devices.
Code:
[email protected]:/ # ls -l /dev/block/by-label
ls -l /dev/block/by-label
/dev/block/by-label: No such file or directory

These partitions are correct. Radio/modem partition is missing. /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 = /modem/baseband/radio
Edit:
For the list of all partitions, use 'parted' command.

Thank you a lot, parted is not working on mine. Probably busybox related?
Edit: Nevermind I found the executable file of parted . Worked fine. Thanks again.

You must have installed a custom recovery. (with parted command included)
Like cwm or twrp v2.4.4.0. I use twrp v2.4.4.0.

@OP updated my thread with this thread info...You can visit here

So continue here
Question is if we makes tar file form dump file we have created like system.img, can we flash it with odin?

Roger that
here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777579 @das7982 well explained the instructions for Galaxy SIII
According to his post, he's recommending to make an ODIN package from only system.img
To make system.img of note 2
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/storage/extSdCard/system.img bs=4096
Here we need a linux pc or Cygwin for Windows. If we going to use Cygwin, we need to install it along with tar, md5sum commands
Code:
tar -H ustar -c system.img > system.img.tar
Then we need to make Md5 checksum
Code:
md5sum -t system.img.tar >> system.img.tar
rename it
Code:
mv system.img.tar system.img.tar.md5
I haven't tried this yet but I'll try soon

I have already made this and also in try to test it.

I have read it, I think it shouldn't raise counter unless we have custom recovery /kernel
B'coz I don't think custom tar will raise counter, i am regularly extract recovery and kernel from stock and packing it separately in tar, it never raised counter.

You're correct, stock kernel and recovery shouldn't increase the flash counter.
To backup /data we can use
Code:
adb shell
stop
busybox tar -cZvf /storage/extSdCard/data.ext4.tar --exclude media --exclude dalvik-cache /data
reboot
To restore
Code:
adb shell
stop
busybox tar -xvf /storage/extSdCard/data.ext4.tar -C /
reboot

How extract the Pit file ?

Can anybody confirm that the follow strings working on the T805?
Use Terminal Emulator and enter follow:
su (Enter)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176 (Enter)

[Q] SM-T807T T-Mobile US Exynos5 10.5 TAB and CM-12.0

I am just trying to get a rough feel for the demand that exists for getting CM-12 on the T-Mobile variant of the Tab S 10.5.
I have one that I picked up, and I have not done much with it. I have been kicking around the idea of trying to get CM-12.0 up on it, but I dont want to soak a ton of time into if there is not a decent demand for it.
Anyway guys, let me know!
Sounds like a great idea, I don't have one yet, but would definitely consider picking one up if CM12 came out.
This is all I really want out of this tablet. Let me know if you're seriously thinking about doing it because I'll kick you a few bucks if its doable.
do it please!
I would also shoot you some money I get paid on Friday and would love to donate to getting my tablet rooted
Yes, yes please.
I have the T-Mobile variant and would really appreciate the effort. I, too, would be happy to kick a few bucks your way for the trouble.
It would be amazing to have an AOSP option for it without shutting out LTE.
Please. I am so ready for 12.
Before you try does the Tmobile variant have an unlockable bootloader if it does its going to be a brand new bring up none of the work for the t805 (Exynos Galaxy tab S 10.5 LTE) will work because the US LTE variants have Qualcomm chipsets you would have to base the work off of mondrianlte (Galaxy Tab Pro 8.0 LTE)

T807T has unlocked bootloader (T-Mobile device). Specs are exactly the same as T805 exynos. The only thing that's different is that it won't connect to Lte and such since its an T-Mobile device from what I heard.
T807P= Sprint Tab S with Snapdragon. Unlocked bootloader too.
Hopefully this helps!

Sweet did not know i will take a peek at the kernel source for the tmobile and see whats needed to add support for it in my kernel
Edit: Took a quick peek its using the gpu that all the other tab S's use except the chagalllte and its not using the broadcom wifi cob for whatever reason
Edit 2: There you go kernel support right away (Was not hard at all it only needed a new defconfig, i did not find any other differences kernel source wise)
https://github.com/LiquidSmooth-Dev...mmit/26f98a28280b72c135c81a0304152f550ffe9603
Edit 3: Now all you need is some basic edits to the chagalllte tree to change it too chagalltmo
Edit 4: Basic Device Tree: https://github.com/deadman96385/android_device_samsung_chagalltmo
I would need someone who owns it too pull the system partition not in img form though to make somthing that will actually work

Tell me what to do and I will. To give you an idea of my skill level - I have made kernel edits before from guides and can sometimes get away with smali changes. My device is rooted and I am not worried about warranty voids. TWRP recovery only as far as I know.
In fact, if you could get Liquidsmooth working too I would be thrilled to pieces. I love that rom! I will help you test both and report any bugs I find.
thats good news if you are going to work on an exynos based tablet. this way cm12 can support other exynos models too .. i have a 805y model.
You will need to do section 1 and 2 and pull the system partition like they do there and make sure to also right down the partition layout and sizes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450045

I have updated the tree with the partition sizes for your variant in theory it should build now i will be gone for 6 days so i will work on it again then.

Thanks that helped, sadly i have to go before my build finishes but if it does it will copy the build to the link below so give it a few hours after this post for it too appear if it doesn't i'll fix it when i get back had to do some hacky kernel work.

Glad it helped! I will keep an eye out for it. Nothing just yet. I can't wait...this would be the first AOSP rom for this variant as far as I'm aware!

Another interested t807t user here. Would help with testing. Surprised to find that CM12 isn't already a thing on this device. We need more heroes to continue this quest
Nice to see CM12 coming to this device.
I am waiting patiently for this. I have a question. Can I install the other variant roms on this device as well? I am ok with no lte.

Lost recovery mode after resizing system partitions

Hi everyone,
I was trying to flash an nightly update from cyanogen and was getting the error : CM 12 Error:detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system and so, troubleshooting the problem, I tried to extend the system partitions through the procedure I found in a thread that contained the code down bellow and I believe that was after that that I lost my recoverymode. After this I tried to flash an earlier ROM to see if I could get the phone back and that was the last time I was able to enter in the recoverymode. Now I just have a black screen and also when I try to start my phone it took about 2 min on a black screen and then the OS starts. Besides that, all network connectivity was lost (wifi, call signal, 4g/3g) and my user space (/data partition) too (althoug it seems to be mounted). It appears it that was all disabled. Without a recovery mode and internet I am completely stuck. I tried to install a cwm and a twrp through adb after install flash gordon and flashify apk but it did not worked it cannot recognize a file out my /data . And the idea I had to restore from rommanager apk failed in the moment it tried to connect on internet to download content.
Please help!! Follow details:

Hello,
Have you given up on this, have you fixed it, or are you still trying?
You may be able to flash a new recovery from fastboot (hold volume up while powering on).
I have not had any luck with cm-12.1 either. I did successfully resize my system partition, but cm-12.1 still will not flash. cm-12, however works fine.

Difficulty extracting recovery partition from F460

EDIT: oops problem solved using carliv image kitchen
I'm completely at a loss here trying to just make an image or mount the stock recovery partition on the F460 variant. Much thanks to anyone who looks at this...
I did the standard dd to img file and I can't open it, getting a bunch of errors (see below) when run through various disk tools. I tried to dd the exact block range which just produces the same result.
I tried mounting the recovery partition on the device but mount doesn't want to work with me.
Code:
1|[email protected]:/ # mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 /sdcard/recovery
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
1|[email protected]:/ # mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 /sdcard/recovery
mount: Invalid argument
I booted into recovery from ADB just to see if it was even intact and it showed the stock recovery logo just fine.
Here's some (helpful??) details...

e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open recovery.img
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>
[email protected]:~/Desktop$ e2fsck -b 8192 recovery.img
e2fsck 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014)
e2fsck: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open recovery.img
Could this be a zero-length partition?
