Guest tillaz Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) That's what I thought ;) I can't imagine anyone is after the handful of ZTE widgets, LOL :lol: I'll be patient, I won't flash a CWR on it before I HOPEFULLY be able to dump my "clean" rom :) download android sdk here http://developer.and.../sdk/index.html download the .zip extract it to desk top (easier to find) then run the sdk manager .exe cancel the choose packages to install pop up. click on available packages / then open third party tab / then the google inc tab / then select google usb driver package. then press install selected. wait for it to finish then close & continue instructions for making rom dump. http://android.podtwo.com/romdump/ (please read below first) starting ADB make sure you phone is conected to computer via usb & usb debugging is enabled on your phone.... menu / settings /applications /development & tick usb debugging (install any drivers that popup) from windows press start & in search enter cmd & press enter (black box pops up) (enter the following to start adb) cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools === Press Enter adb devices === press Enter >> You should see your device listed adb shell === press Enter >> you should see # in the next line Now you are all set to run adb commands (refer back to the rom dump instructions above) Edited October 1, 2011 by tillaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ColonelZap Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thanks :-) Here's the good news: And here's the bad news :( Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 are you using the latest version of romdump >>> romdump_v82b.zip if not remove and retry with the above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ColonelZap Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) I'm a little confused, the file inside the zip you posted is called "romdump", the files in the older versions are called "install". Do I need both? Do they have to be in the "platform-tools" folder? Do I have to change the commands if I'm using the "romdumb" file? Maybe replace the install command with romdumb? SORRY, I'm very new to this :blink: Edited October 1, 2011 by ColonelZap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ColonelZap Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Success? I found a "romdump" folder on my SD-card, I'll upload it somewhere and then I'll send you a PM with the link. I'm not so sure what's inside, so I'd rather not make it public ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wrtease Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Android ROM dumper v0.72b ©2010 Sebastian404 *So you've decided to <strike>steal cable</strike> dump your ROM* /Myth: Dumping your ROM is wrong. Fact: Google is a big faceless corporation, which makes it okay.../ romdump is a (very) simple program that dumps the BOOT, RECOVERY and SYSTEM partitions to your SDCARD, this will allow someone who is technicaly minded to create a recovery image... and that is a GOOD thing... DOWNLOAD HERE <http://android.podtwo.com/romdump/romdump.zip> Once you have downloaded and unziped the file you will have an 'install' file, now its time to goto work. There are two ways to proceed... *Method One* - /ADB/ ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge, and is something you really should have working, I dont intend to enter into a long tutorial on how to install and set this up, but someone at google has <http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html>. Make sure you have enabled 'USB Debugging' on your device (goto Settings / Applications / Development). Once you have adb type the following commands: adb push install /data/local/ adb shell chmod 04755 /data/local/install adb shell /data/local/install you should see something like following: Android ROM dumper v0.72b ©2010 Sebastian404 [*] Android local root exploid © The Android Exploid Crew [+] Using basedir=/sqlite_stmt_journals, path=/data/local/install [+] opening NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT socket [+] sending add message ... [*] Try to invoke hotplug now, clicking at the wireless [*] settings, plugin USB key etc. [*] You succeeded if you find /system/bin/romdump. Once you see that you need to turn your Wifi on and off, usualy in Settings / Wireless & Networks / Wi-Fi now thats done, type the following: adb shell romdump then wait for it to finish, it can take a while. *Method Two* - /Terminal/ You need to install a terminal application from the Android Market, I recomend google's own, but as long as its free. Once you have installed it, copy the downloaded install file to the root of your sdcard, then launch your terminal application and type the following commands: cat /sdcard/install >/data/local/install chmod 04755 /data/local/install /data/local/install you should see something like following: Android ROM dumper v0.72b ©2010 Sebastian404 [*] Android local root exploid © The Android Exploid Crew [+] Using basedir=/sqlite_stmt_journals, path=/data/local/install [+] opening NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT socket [+] sending add message ... [*] Try to invoke hotplug now, clicking at the wireless [*] settings, plugin USB key etc. [*] You succeeded if you find /system/bin/romdump. Once you see that you need to turn your Wifi on and off, usualy in Settings / Wireless & Networks / Wi-Fi now thats done, you will need to launch the terminal application one more, and type the following: /system/bin/romdump then wait for it to finish, it can take a while. Once the program has finished you should find a directory in the root of your SD card called romdump and a sub-directory named after your device model. Take those files and give them to someone who knows how to make a recovery zip. hope this works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest acidsnake Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 So, how can we flash the stock firmware now? Btw will this be voiding the orange warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 having some problems uploading v1.6 keeps failing at 80% hopefully it will work this time..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dadashi Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) youve already voided you warranty when you installed clockwork and other roms....but of course if you have a stock rom without clockwork you can flash back and orange wont be any wiser... there is a stock orange rom without clockwork for anyody with a warrenty issue... And there is colonels ZTE stock rom...which might unlock our locked skates.... anybody tried it yet...? Edited October 1, 2011 by dadashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ColonelZap Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 anybody tried it yet...? I thought it needs to be made flashable before anyone can use my rom dump?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dadashi Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) I thought it needs to be made flashable before anyone can use my rom dump?!? youre right... the boot image isnt in the romdump, is it? ...doesnt the phone need to be rooted to dump the boot image with the kernel?

Guest ColonelZap Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Don't ask me, LOL :lol: I just hope I got everything off my phone that is needed, if somebody can confirm it, I can finally flash a different firmware on it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dadashi Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) wait untill a flashable rom is available for your Skate...you might need it sometime..... I have a feeling we might be seeing one before the nights up... a friend bought an OMC a couple of weeks ago and the display had problems, strange patterns and colors only a reboot helped...it kept happening so he had it exchanged....had the stock orange rom so no worries...
