Guest bUg. Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 Last week our operator started selling this mobile phone with 2.1 android aboard. Firmware Version - 2.1-update1 Baseband Version - 6383 Kernel Version - 2.6.29-perf Build Number - U8230V100R001C152B820 Build Date - 11 May 2010 Partitions mtd0: 00500000 00020000 "boot" mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "recovery" mtd2: 00140000 00020000 "misc" mtd3: 00060000 00020000 "splash" mtd4: 0aa00000 00020000 "system" mtd5: 04600000 00020000 "cache" mtd6: 0ca60000 00020000 "userdata" mtd7: 01400000 00020000 "userdata2" I'm trying to get stock firmware dump. Firstly i downloaded TMN A1 superboot and booted image using fastboot. It stopped on redbull splashscreen, but i was able to see phone in 'adb devices'. adb shell gives error - 'exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)'. Then i tried to split image file into kernel and ramdisk and used 'fastboot kernel ramdisk'. Phone ignored this kernel booted using stock firmware. Also i tried AmonraRecovery for pulse phone, it booted with many errors (suach as cant read CACHE, etc). both backup methods said about same errors. Now i dont have any idea how to dump original rom ;) P.S. on other same phone we tried to flash tmn a1 superboot and we got root, but using this way we loosing default boot partition. Thanks for any help.
Guest DanWilson Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) CUT Unless fastboot allows you to copy BACK the partitions, I think you have no dump.... Will report in a wee min to see if it does, then I'll Google it for you... Nope - epic fail. No fastboot things (I did find and update.zip installer that I shall try, need to update FLB-MOD), and Google gave me nothing. I'm sorry dude. Who is your carrier? (Which phone?)

Guest Speckles Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 I'm sure that partition layout you have is different to the one which the Hungarian ROM gives you. So in which case, you'll need an UPDATA which partitions in that format before you could apply it. Unless of course you just want to dump the kernel fs and see whats different.
Guest bUg. Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 Who is your carrier? (Which phone?) You wont find it anyway, but it's Life operator (half Turkcell) from Belarus. Phone called Huawei U8230 without any operator name.

So in which case, you'll need an UPDATA which partitions in that format before you could apply it. Unless of course you just want to dump the kernel fs and see whats different. May be you know if there is a way to change AmonraRecovery or TMN fastboot for this partition layout? P.S. Seems like recovery image gives same errors like in this post. Edited June 24, 2010 by bUg.
Guest Speckles Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 I wouldn't have a clue, but the AmonRA recovery works on both the 1.5 and 2.1 partition layouts, so I wouldn't expect that much problems.
Guest bUg. Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 I upacked 1.5.2-pulse-amorarecovery image and found that there is wrong partitions in fstab. repacked it with fixed fstab. will try it after i will get phone back from service ( i broke rom a bit xD )
Guest Josh04 Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 Yeah, the errors sound like the drives being mounted in the wrong place/order. Tweaking Amon-Ra should work.
Guest bUg. Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 tried to fill right info in fstab, but still getting same errors. also when recovery image booted i used adb shell and did cat /proc/mtd. result: dev: size erasesize name I think it means that kernel didnt found any nand flash. am i wrong? and how to fix it?
Guest bUg. Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 also i want to try add mtdparts to cmdline, but i dont know mtd-id. is msm_nand will work for u8230?

Guest McSpoon Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 I'm trying to get stock firmware dump. If you just want the stock firmware of the U8230V100R001C152B820 then it's on the Huawei website. http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/down...001C152B820.zip Huawei have labeled it "U8230V100R001C152B820(White Russia BeST)". I'm not sure if "White Russia BeST" is a reference to a mobile carrier or perhaps they consider Belarus to be totally awesome. Note: There is a Perl script called split_updata.pl which can unpack the firmware and extract the boot.img and system.img partitions, which may be of use to you.
Guest bUg. Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) erm, i checked it yesterday and there wasnt this firmware. but 'white russia best' is right carrier and i think they put it on site tonight. that's good :lol: thanks. but anyway i still trying to run amon ra on this device and i will do it :D it's already not because i need it, now it's a challenge!

Guest bUg. Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 One more question about his firmware. There is only one file UPDATE.APP. hot i can split it to kernel, ramdisk, system etc... ?
Guest McSpoon Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 One more question about his firmware. There is only one file UPDATE.APP. hot i can split it to kernel, ramdisk, system etc... ? Try using the split_updata.pl script from this thread. It should extract the boot.img, system.img and various other files. Then use the usual unpack-bootimg.pl or split_bootimg.pl scripts from this page to obtain the kernel and ramdisk from the boot.
Guest bUg. Posted June 26, 2010 Report Posted June 26, 2010 Sadly there is no crc16 for mac (atleast file that i can use w/o any additional hands moves xD), will try this on my notebook with linux tomorrow. have to sleep a bit.

Don't worry about the crc16 part. You could edit the script to remove the line "$calculatedcrc=`./crc $BASEPATH$outfilename`", or perhaps create a fake program called 'crc' . Without it the script should still be able to extract the files (although it has never been tested on the U8230V100R001C152B820 firmware).
Guest bUg. Posted June 27, 2010 Report Posted June 27, 2010 http://rapidshare.com/files/403200940/recover.img.html working recovery image. i replaced 2.6.27 kernel with 2.6.29 and fixed fstab and cmdline.
Guest defts Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Can I install the rom U8230V100R001C152B820 on pulse uk?
Guest arlindo.costa Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 :D :D :) Thanks a lot bUg. THis was just what I need to get Amonra working on my TMN A1 (thought it only works when I boot the recover.img from fastboot, when I reboot into recovery it hangs on RBM screen). I think there is going to be a lot of happy folk in Portugal in the next couple of days with this new toy! :lol: This allowed me to install Oscillation ROM R7 with a2sd which for the moment is working extremley well!

Could you please clarify this Amonra and update process? I think the TMN A1 thread would be a great place to do it and a lot of us would thank you for that.
Guest Pakatus Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Anyone has a mirror? main link is dead. :lol:
Guest hepatitis Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Please upload the recover.img. As I found this error when backup. http://www.abload.de/img/errorkb5i.jpg Edited February 23, 2011 by hepatitis
