Guest JFDee Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) I could provide the "boot.img" of build 6267 if somebody would want to take a look at it. Is there a way to extract it if the Streak is not yet rooted? I have "adb" up and running on Windows and on Linux, and found the hints that /dev/mtd/mtd1 can be read out by "cat" to write the image to a file. Now, what about "busybox"; would extracting work with a special version (with access rights to sdcard and including "cat") ? The version from the Market seems to be very limited.

Guest fards Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) I think **************** that you can try this, instructions gleaned from loads of different places.. 1) Install Android SDK or simply adb 2) Download busybox for Android from here http://benno.id.au/android/busybox 3) Launch Windows console (cmd) and go to the directory where busybox is with the "cd path/to/the/file" command. 4) "adb devices" <- Is your device detected ? 5) "adb push busybox /data/local/busybox 6) "adb shell" 7) cat /proc/mtd and check it's mtd0 that points to "boot" 8) cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/6267boot.img 9) copy your extracted boot image off your sdcard to somewhere on your pc.. [code] but I've read that it doesn't always result in a clean extracted boot.img. worth a try though :) if it does work (npot certain if it needs SU in adb shell) then hex compare it with a pauls rooted 4339 version, see what's different !

Guest JFDee Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Thanks for the detailed list! I have access to the device via adb, that part worked. Installing the new busybox worked too - though I don't know how exactly, because access to /data itself is impossible. mtd0 points to "boot". But the extract won't work - no permission: $ ls -l /dev/mtd crw------- root root 90, 15 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd7ro crw------- root root 90, 14 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd7 crw------- root root 90, 13 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd6ro crw------- root root 90, 12 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd6 crw------- root root 90, 11 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd5ro crw------- root root 90, 10 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd5 crw------- root root 90, 9 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd4ro crw------- root root 90, 8 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd4 crw------- root root 90, 7 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd3ro crw-rw-rw- root root 90, 6 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd3 crw------- root root 90, 5 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd2ro crw------- root root 90, 4 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd2 crw------- root root 90, 3 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd1ro crw------- root root 90, 2 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd1 crw------- root root 90, 1 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd0ro crw------- root root 90, 0 2010-08-07 22:39 mtd0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fards Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Unfortunately that's not the right kernel then. As the superboot overwrites the original boot.img.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vano3408 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Thrn JFDee can try to backup boot image using Koush's CRI tool in menu choose Nandroid -> Backup It will create boot.img file in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup Unfortunately that's not the right kernel then.

Guest JFDee Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) All right, here is my freshly squeezed "boot.img". Zipped it for saving space. streak_b6267_boot.img.zip This is from GAUSB1A111100-EU, factory system. It differs from Eric.Druse's; size unpacked is 5.242.880 bytes. Probably an "uncompressed compressed" file system. Note: I had to use the old "clockwork" recovery image, version 2.5.0.1 wouldn't do anything except a beautifully black screen. In fact, it prevented the Streak from booting normally. No problems with the image from the ZIP package. Edited August 9, 2010 by JFDee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vano3408 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Clockwork CRI nandroid backup writes unneeded bytes, when backing up boot image. i deleted unnecessary bytes. boot6762.img Now size is same as Eric's image. But I compared both images by contetnt and have to say they have identical parts, but also big part is different.. Since Eric's image works fine for me and I didn't lost ROOT I will not probably do any flashing any more.. However, Paul may take a look in attached boot image to create SuperRoot image based on it.

Didn't Eric.Druse report something about a test version of the build that he has got his hand on? This is probably different from the devices sold recently (those without any provider lock).
