How to dump the ROM of SGSII? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well, Wayerless (Chilean webstite of mobile phones) has a Galaxy S-II in their hands, which have been testing these days and recently published a review.
The guy who has it, offered to make a backup of the rom if someone told him how to do it. According to the comments on the website, he managed to root it, but combination of the 3 buttons is not enabled.
There is any way to make a backup via SDK?
I found a website called podtwo romdump (android.podtwo.com/romdump/), but I tried it on my SGS and doesn't work.
If someone could write a short tutorial to make a dump of the rom, maybe we could get it this week.
pd. Sorry for my english, im from Chile.
pd2. I cant put complete urls on my post. If you want to see wayerless's review search it on wayerless.com/2011/04/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-w-labs-exclusivo/
Regards.

you'd need to install busybox to /data/local then tar the /system
on adb shell:
cd /sdcard
ls // to make sure it's correctly here
chmod 755 /data/local/busybox // to make it executable
/data/local/busybox tar cvf dump.tar /system

now we are talking, this is awesome news guys
lets see if we can get our hands on that ROM as well

Interested (helping) as well.
And by some more infos too, revealing in much more details the hardware built-in.
He can contact me by mail via XDA.

If somebody interests firmware from the device having similar with SGS2 processor Exynos - files\folders from device ODROIDA
ODROIDA_Data_System

This is awesome!

6 days ago and still no dump?

Good news

Fantastic news! Here's hoping this can be ported to original Galaxy S

Does thus mean that there will be voodoo available when this phone hits the shelfs

but where is the dump?

This guy on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmu_feLOWrs
Is asking how to root phone, wonder if someone can help him and we could get a dump of the ROM!

Yeah its true
I could ask friend to dump SII (he is testing it) but without rooting its impossible. Am I right?

Here's a link to the 2.3.1 system dump
http://www.multiupload.com/66YMJ5XCUX

OMG that guy run the quadrant while system were checking sdcards and with a live wallpaper running.I know that live wallpapers take about 500 or more quadrant points so this is really a beast

anyone have the sysdump of the Korean SGSII?
I just want their media files.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Help with Hybrid ROM

Hello all, I'm pretty new to all of this. I only recently rooted/flashed a ROM for the first time, and I'm just kind of learning as I go. I really want to flash Eugene's Hybrid r3 ROM now that the mms issue is fixed, but I don't know how to apply the lag fix. What I'm really asking is if anyone has any instrustions or a link to information for a true beginner on how to access adb shell and apply the fix. I've got an entire evening of free time on my hands, and I decided it'd be a good day to learn this =]
Google droid explorer on your comp... It will set up adb for you... An easy guide can be found by googling "adb for dummies"
This entrails a lot of reading but the rewards are tremendous.. Good luck
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
alright, I'll get to it! thanks!
first startes you will need the drivers here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
and the android SDK here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
PM me if you need help
Try YouTube & Google theso are two places I learned mostly everything. That's my recommendation... If u don't find the answer here.
You could also do it via a terminal app on your phone... I would kind of suck using the touchscreen to input the data but its do able.
if you want to try it via terminal do this.
- DL "terminal emulator" from market

- open app and grant SU access
- input the lagfix info but leave out the first line "adb shell" of each step and start with "su"
One thing to note about droid explorer. Its a great tool and will setup adb for you, just make sure you have busybox installed on your phone. To ensure you have the latest busybox DL the "busybox" app from the market
Alright, thanks Sykes! I'll give it a shot!
I just wanted to say thanks again to you all. Sykes, I used the terminal app you described and it worked great! It took me a couple of tries, mainly because I'm very very new to all of the command prompt stuff, and hacking in general. But now the Hybrid R3 is running extremely fast and smooth. My past few benchmarks on quadrant have all been 2100+!!

Questions on the Lingo

Ok, I have a thunderbolt so I decided to post this question here:
I really want to understand what language you guys are talking about when it comes to; kernel, adb, radios, etc.....
I do get confused on those and want to learn the vocab for the android. Point me to the right direction. thanks.
I'm doing these from what I've read. I really only understand half the stuff that is discussed here, but this is my best understanding.
Kernel: Not really sure how to explain it, but gives the operating system a base to work from as i understand it.
Radio: Is what interfaces the operating system with the network.
adb: adobe debugging bridge. There are several posts describing that in great depth.
johnny, wikipedia is a man's best friend
i can't post the link, but if you search for "kernel (computing), you'll find the article and the first paragraph explains it all....there's a nice diagram too lol
good luck!
Wait, you mean you can use the interwebs to look up information on things we want to know more about!?

I think you mean android debugging bridge. It's basically a framework you can install on your computer that can use to issue commands to your phone. you can use it to sideload apps, where you download the apps install file (apk) to your computer and then use adb commands to install it on your phone, thereby getting around any blocks verizon has put on the android market.

Dude! I'm actually thinking you may see way too much of me! Lol This whole community is foreign to me, with regards to how things are done. Its a whole new language being spoken here, with different apps, recoveries and methods of installation.
Hey, Reign, I got her rooted and was finally able to get a rom flashed. I took a cue from your theme and went with Eclipse. I'm enjoying it so far. I noticed you specified bootstrap for flashing this theme. Is there a way around that or, would I absolutely have to swap recoveries? Also, I was wondering what other roms you may recommend as bringing something unique to the table. I know this is off topic. Sorry about that. Honestly though, this is a beautiful theme and I think it deserves a bump, no matter the reason for it.

It says all free downloads are in use what gives I'd love to try this theme any suggestions?

Where did you get? I want always up-to-date software, like small number of bugs
Huh?
Took me some digging around but I found 338691. Aside from the number I doubt there are any noticible changes, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who always likes to have "newest". I don't think there's any malware or anything but if anyone finds some let me know, because I didn't put it there.
Surprisingly it even installs like a normal app, every other version I've used over the years needs to be put in /system/app
Thanks

Hi is there any android application for rediffbol....?

[Q] MAYBE FFactory mode? ATT??

I have scoured the forums and google. Im pretty good at figuring these things out. Not sure if im experiencing a factory mouse issue or not. No pics in the threads.
Issue: System info window keeps popping up in menu.(check img)
Occured: After flashing a stock Att md5 from liquid smooth ROM
Attempts:
-Reflashed several stock variations of the md5 through odin.
-installed terminal emulator and tried the typical "factory mode" that is pointed to Verizon users. Entering "echo -No...."
-Initiated self doubt then banged head on wall.
-ReReReFlashed stock ATT with injected root (downloaded from XDA thread)
Interesting points: All my roms and stock md5's have been downloaded from XDA. Im 100% sure im using the correct version. I noticed in attempting to finally sign up for XDA I was initially blocked from doing so because "in attempts to block spam, Verizon IPs are blocked" That's Weird because I'm an ATT user and was on my 4g network.
