[HELP] 4.4.2 System Dump - Droid RAZR M General

[HELP] 4.4.2 System Dump - Droid RAZR M General

I need someone with a un-locked bootloader (or at least rooted), on the 4.4.2 OTA to pull a system dump.
Through Mfastboot or wherever you have ADB (SDK).
Connect phone to PC, Open terminal then
Type:
Code:
adb shell
Press enter - You may need to confirm on your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Type:
Code:
su
Press enter - You'll need to grant superuser permission on your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Type:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p36 of=/sdcard/system.img
Press enter - It's going to take a few minutes.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When complete, there will be a system.img on your device. Just reboot your phone and reconnect to a PC. Grab the system.img, zip it up (preferred split zip method). Upload it and post the link here. Thanks.

[GUIDE][US WIFI & 3G] How To Root Your Xoom From 3.2 Stock [PC & Mac]

**THIS IS FOR US WIFI & 3G XOOM**
This guide in no way implies or expresses any warranties.
What you choose to do with your equipment is your sole responsibilty.
________________________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
You must already be running Honeycomb 3.2 on your Xoom **DO NOT USE WITH HC 3.2.1. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO CAUSE WIFI FAILURES** USE THIS TO ROOT HC 3.2 AND THEN UPDATE TO 3.2.1 USING THIS METHOD.
You will be unlocking your Xoom, if you have not already. This will wipe data so make sure to back everything up that you would like to keep.
You will be performing steps in ADB. If you are not familiar with this, read HERE first.
You will need Xoom USB drivers and Fastboot
You will need the WIFI boot (kernel) partition with rooted stock 3.2 kernel (thanks & credit to, solarnz)
OR You will need the 3G Verizon boot (kernel) partition with rooted stock 3.2 kernel (thanks & credit to, solarnz)
You will need Superuser.apk and su binary to enable functioning root
**Before you get started, make sure the USB Debugging option is enabled in the Settings. Go to Settings --> Applications --> Development -->USB Debugging**
PROCEDURE
Download and unzip files. Place rootboot.img, superuser.apk & su binary in the same place you will open your command window.
Open command window:
Type; adb devices - you should see a long serial number on the screen. If no serial number appears, recheck your adb, sdk & moto usb driver files.
Type; adb reboot bootloader
Type; fastboot oem unlock - and follow the steps on your xoom's screen (You have to accept the terms by pressing the volume down key, and then select 'accept' by pressing the volume up key.)
Allow the xoom to boot up completely and go back into settings and enable USB debugging again.
In the command window on your PC type; adb reboot bootloader - (if xoom does not respond, disconnect from pc and reboot manually by holding vol up + power. then reconnect after fully rebooted)
Type; fastboot flash boot rootboot.img (for WiFi)
OR Type; fastboot flash boot 3Grootboot.img (for 3G Verizon)
Type; fastboot reboot 
Allow the xoom to boot completely - your xoom should be in normal operating mode for the remainder of the process.
In the command window on your PC type; adb remount
Type; adb push su /system/bin
Type; adb shell
Type; ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su (this line starts with lower case "L", like llama)
Type; chmod 4755 /system/bin/su 
Type; exit
Type; adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
Thats it...your done!! Unplug the xoom and reboot. Your xoom is now stock rooted. You can now flash ClockworkMod, other kernels and roms. To verify root, download a root user app from the market and run it. You should be prompted to allow superuser permissions.
Mac Only Procedure
You will need fastboot for mac - download HERE
Open a terminal (located in the utilities folder)
Navigate to your sdk/platform-tools folder
Type; ./adb devices - (look for the xoom serial number to show its connected.)
Type; ./adb reboot bootloader
Type; chmod 755 fastboot
Type; ./fastboot oem unlock
Type; adb reboot bootloader
Type; ./fastboot flash boot rootboot.img
Type; ./fastboot reboot
Type; ./adb remount
Type; ./adb push su /system/bin
Type; ./adb shell
Type; chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
Type; exit
Type; ./adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
Disconnect and reboot xoom. Download a root app and test.
If you found this helpfull press the THANKS button.

Excellent write-up, I'll try this when I get a chance.
Been trying to downgrade and then get to the rooted, stock 3.2 using a couple routes shown here. They seem to create an issue with CWM not sticking...

Works great!
I just flashed back to 3.01, re-locked the WiFi Xoom (USA), OTA'd to 3.1 and followed that with the OTA to 3.2. I then unlocked and went thru your rooting procedure and it worked great. All tests indicate a successful root. Thanks for the practical guide!

thanks for the easiest way (i dont have an sd card) ..
one Q; why is this boot file about only 2 mb? the original one is aprx. 8 mb.. are we missing some features by replacing the boot files? or is it completely "stock+root" only ?

Are you in fastboot or is your Xoom booted normally? If you are in fastboot, reboot and let the Xoom load normally.

Wow that was easy... Why cant all android devices be this open and straightforward? Im sooo pissed at HTC with the EVO 3D. Cant wait for the Galaxy S2 to come out
Mad respect to Motorola for getting this one right
And last but not least, Thanks so much to the OP for the great writeup!

Thanks for the write up. Just got my xoom today and right after I updated to 3.2 I thought that I may have a problem trying to root. Your guide worked perfectly for me. The only issue that I had was reading "ln -s," as "In -s." Yeah that was stupid of me.

thanks jase33 my problem was with the driver, I re-install it & now rooted

Help... I have been having this same problem with multiple procedures. I have everything as instructed. USB debugging ON, SDK installed on Fedora 15, fastboot in /platform-tools folder. I type the first command (and this is the part that keeps happening despite the method used) "adb reboot bootloader" -- the Xoom reboots to screen desscribed as Motorola logo, centered, with "Starting Fastboot protocol support." in the top left corner. Also, in the terminal I get the message < waiting for device > after typing "fastboot oem unlock" That's it.. That's where I always get stuck. I am able to press power button and vol up to reboot normally. But, I can let it sit here like this with logo showing forever. Am I missing any drivers? As I said I am running Linux (Fedora). When I type "adb shell", I can successfully browse the Xoom filesystem.
SOLUTION: Ran fastboot command as root.
su
fastboot oem unlock

WOW! Thanks jase33 that was painless.
Everything worked great, just as you said it would.

Go developer.android.com and download the SDK & move it to your home directory ("~" or /Users/<username>)
Go to <sdk-location>/tools and launch "Android"
Download the platform tools
Open terminal
Open Finder to <sdk-location>/platform-tools
In terminal, type "sudo cp"; drag adb from the Finder window into the Terminal window; type "/usr/bin/"; hit enter
Enter your password
Repeat the above three steps, but drag "fastboot" instead of "adb"
Close terminal
Open terminal (it sounds weird, but just do it)
Now, and forever, do this to install a kernel:
Download kernel
Connect phone to computer
Make sure USB Debugging is enabled (Settings>Development>USB Debugging)
In terminal, type "adb reboot bootloader"
In terminal, type "fastboot flash boot"; drag in the kernel from finder; hit enter
Examples:
Code:
sudo cp /Users/Username/android-sdk-mac/platform-tools/adb /usr/bin/
sudo cp /Users/Username/android-sdk-mac/platform-tools/adb /usr/bin/
adb reboot recovery
fastboot flash boot /Users/Username/Downloads/boot.img

No problem! You may want to clean them up a bit; I was in a hurry when I typed those.

sure thanks ill credit u for it

Moved to Q&A

It's very simple. Follow whatever instructions are for the kernel, rom, whatever, but add "./" in front of the commands. So "fastboot flash boot" becomes "./fastboot flash boot"

No! That only works if he has done
Code:
cd <sdkdir>/platform-tools
other wise, it will fail and confuse him even more. Doing cp to /usr/bin/ will allow him to never have to do "./" before the command.

[GUIDE] Backing up a phone with broken display

I have seen several of threads asking about how to recover data from a phone that has a broken display.
Backing up a phone with broken display
Prerequisites
Rooted phone with broken display/digitizer/etc. Display is nonfunctional for whatever reason.
ADB for your platform. Downloads for Windows, Mac, and Linux can be found at my dev-host.
Drivers installed (Windows), rules file set up (Linux + Mac). Drivers for windows can be found here. Rules file for Linux can be found here.
Recovery file attached to this post. (twrp.img)
External sdcard with at least 2 GB free space inserted in your broken phone.
openrecoveryscript.txt file attached to this post.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Backing up your broken device
Extract the ADB zip somewhere convenient.
Move the twrp.img recovery file into the ADB extracted directory.
Move the openrecoveryscript.txt file into the ADB directory.
Open a command prompt / terminal window in the ADB directory.
Windows: Windows Key + R => Type in "cmd" then click "RUN".
Linux: Open a terminal window by selecting it from your applications.
ALL:
Code:
cd /path/to/ADB/directory
Pull the battery from your phone, place it back in and boot into recovery (VolUp + Home + Power).
Connect your phone to your computer
Make sure that the following command returns "XXXXXX recovery" before proceeding to the next step.
Code:
./adb devices
Expected output:
Code:
List of devices attached
XXXXXXX recovery
Now to install TWRP recovery to your device. Type the following commands ( after each line). Linux users: Make sure you prepend each command with "./", as in "./adb ...". ALL Make sure you type the commands in CAREFULLY.
Code:
adb push twrp.img /tmp/twrp.img
adb shell dd if=/tmp/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Wait until the last command above returns an output similar to below before proceeding to the next step:
Code:
12916+0 records in
12916+0 records out
6612992 bytes (6.3MB) copied, 1.094278 seconds, 5.8MB/s
Now pull your phones battery and reboot into recovery once again.
Run the following command to make sure your phone has booted into recovery completely.
Code:
adb devices
Expected output
Code:
List of devices attached
XXXXXXX recovery
Type the following to set up a script that will backup your phone to your external sdcard.
Code:
adb push openrecoveryscript.txt /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript
Reboot your phone once more. This time, TWRP will begin backing up your ROM.
Wait for the backup to finish. You will know it is finished when you feel your phone reboot once more.
Optionally, you can check the state of your backup by running the following command and reading the last couple lines of it's output.
Code:
adb shell cat /tmp/recovery.log
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's it! Your entire system (/system, /data, /cache, and boot) will be backed up to your external sdcard. Just pop the sdcard in your replacement phone and you're good to go.
Enjoy and donate to the TWRP devs! This would not be possible if TWRP did not use the OpenRecoveryScript scripting engine!

Look it up.

Is this method specific to the S3? I have an old S2 that I need to recover some photos from.

Hmm...boot your S2 into recovery, then connect it to your computer, run the following command and post the output for me.
Code:
adb shell ls

Hopefully I never need this guide but I think it should be a sticky. Good job!

This seems very helpful thank you.
This is a good option as well

Thanks so much for the how-to.
I have a rooted Sprint Galaxy S3 with a broken display. I'm having a problem with getting it into recovery mode.
I believe when I hold down VolUp+Home+Power and reboot, it's loading a menu that's prompting me to select one of the boot options. It otherwise just sits there and never actually boots.
I've tried to use adb to boot it into recovery mode, but it also just sits there until I press the home key, at which point it just boots into normal mode.
Is there a way I can bypass any menus or does anyone with a working system know which option I should select at the menu?
Thanks,
Alex

Is your display broken? What does "adb devices" show when you're in that mode?

Or you can use skip's unified toolkit.
I literally just used it. Moving the backup to my new device right now.

That is, I was able to push twrp.img to /tmp/twrp.img, but cannot write in the next step:

Ya know . . . I need to read things more carefully. Was so excited to see something that might possibly help. Sorry about that.
It's been awhile since I looked into rooting the Galaxy S III and will look around, but don't recall that this can be rooted from recovery, unfortunately. And, it seems that USB Debugging is not turned on when it boots to the lockscreen.
Hm.

Also, I was thinking if its easy enough to just edit your existing script, maybe post ones that can wipe data/factory reset and possibly some other functions available in TWRP?
