Guest malez Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) I have written a full how to dump system and boot partition. The goal is to keep your device as untouched as possible and to be able to provide the dump. It is specially usefull if you have a new devices for wich we don't have the dump. So please dump you system if your are this one. First of all i don't advice you to install lastest sdk because adb tools where updated for froyo and can have problems to access device. That's why i provide you an archive with adb in it. I) Before device (preparing operation) =========== 1) install acer drivers : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E5PTHL3O (reboot the computer to be sure they are isntalled) 2) download this archive (in next step i will call it superboot.zip) http://acer-liquid-community-rom-bugtracke...s/Superboot.zip 3) Extract the content of Superboot.zip to a directory, let's say c:\superboot. 4) Copy adb-windows.exe to adb.exe (copy not move) IMPORTANT. To be clear you can even rename adb-windows.exe to adb.exe or duplicate the adb-windows.exe file and rename the duplicate file to adb.exe 5) Download this archive http://www.4shared.com/file/-0yByOIb/mzTools.html 6) Extract the content of mzTools.zip in the same directory as the content of superboot.zip 7) Test can you can use adb : 7a) open a terminal emulator ( start / execute / cmd ) 7b) move to the directory where you have stored tools using cd command (for exemple cd \superboot) 7c) adb devices -> should return "List of devices attached" and nothing more. 7d) you adb installation is ready II) When you have the device (dumping) ================ 1) Go in Settings / About Phone and note all informations provided 2) Go in Settings / Applications / Developement and enable USB debuging (without this will not be able to do nothing) 3) Connect the phone to usb Connecting to the device 4a)open a terminal emulator ( start / execute / cmd ) From now : all operation must be done in the terminal emulator 4b) move to the directory where you have stored tools using cd command (for exemple cd \superboot) 4c) adb devices -> should return "List of devices attached" and a device with a number (that is your phone) Dumping system content 5) adb root 5) adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/ 6) adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/busybox 7) adb shell /data/local/tmp/busybox tar czvf /sdcard/liquidEsystem.tgz /system Dumping boot content (does not always work) need to be completed to gain root access 8) adb root 8a) adb push dump_image /data/local/tmp/ 9) adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/dump_image 10) adb shell /data/local/tmp/dump_image boot /sdcard/liquidEboot.img Getting files 11) adb pull /sdcard/liquidEsystem.tgz . (will take a long time) 12) adb pull /sdcard/liquidEboot.img . Files will be in your superboot directory Cleaning all traces of operation on your phone 13) adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/dump_image 14) adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/busybox 15) adb shell rm /sdcard/liquidEsystem.tgz 16) adb shell rm /sdcard/liquidEboot.img Disable usb debugging. You phone is the same as out of box. Provide us liquidEsystem.tgz and liquidEboot.img files Edited October 7, 2010 by malez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest G_Technik Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 4) Copy adb-windows.exe to adb.exe (copy not move) IMPORTANT Do you mean rename or what? I'm trying to translate this instruction to Russian and I'm not sure I understand it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jayziac Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Rename will have 1 copy in the end (like move), copy will have original 'adb-windows.exe' and new 'adb.exe' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest G_Technik Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) Rename will have 1 copy in the end (like move), copy will have original 'adb-windows.exe' and new 'adb.exe' Thanks/ I understood that Ihave had 2 files.

Guest jayziac Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 I think the intent is to remove '/sdcard/liquidEsystem.tgz' afterwards. The extra '.' is where the error is from, not sure if it's really needed or a typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bais Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 If you look at the baseband you notice it's older than the one we have. We have: 04.02.XX, this have 04.01.01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have: 04.02.XX, this have 04.01.01 Yep,i've seen that but we can't jump to any conclusion until our developers get their hand on it.So far we can only see two different Baseband version but is hard to say wich on is older (not always newer =better). Btw now that Acer is selling a product with Eclair on it they should release the source,right? Edited June 9, 2010 by Pretoriano80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
