Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/system.img
there are other ways to get a dump, like simply getting the content:
Code:
tar czvf /sdcard/system.tgz /system
both commands need root, and they are quite possibly not on the device by default, so you probably need busybox
i don't really recommend the second command, because some other blocks are mounted into the system (like the modem),
so you would get unnecessary data
Thank you very much. :thumbup:

there should be a few ext4 drivers or mount tools out there,
google, download one that looks good, and mount the image,
then you should have the drive mounted, and you should be able to access/modify the data

Yes, you can root directly from your phone by using terminal emulator but you have to put photon-torpedo.tar to /data/tmp first. I rooted my photon on the phone itself.

Did you install superuser from market? You also need to install Superuser and push photon-torpedo.tar to /data/tmp
then type the following in terminal emulator:
cd /data/tmp
/bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar
/data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh
/data/tmp/install-su.sh
Just say "THANKS" to Edgan for great work and job well done.

Not sure if you were responding to me or the other guy but my MacBook and my Linux laptop both recognize my phone but they both say its offline when I try and use a adb. Some people say they have done this root without the computer and just using the terminal on the phone but I get permission denied messages since it needs root. I have super user installed but that does me no good without root. I want to know how they got past the permission denied using the terminal on the phone?

Make sure you have USB debugging checked. Menu > settings > applications > development. This was my problem when I first tried to adb the file to the /data/tmp folder on the phone.
Also, I was getting an error at "Run /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh," but I just ignored it and kept going. It worked. You can use root checker from the market to verify that you have root.

Boot into recovery, connect to your computer, open command prompt and type adb pull /system/build.prop
Edit the build.prop with notepad++ and fix the VM size, chances are that app set the VM size as 128 or 128mb instead of 128m which it should be.
Then once its fixed just adb push it back to /system/build.prop

Hold volume down, home button and power button together and it will boot into recovery.
I take it you don't have the android sdk on your computer? You need that to use adb.
If not then the easiest option is to factory reset, or maybe someone will make you a flashable zip that will replace your build.prop.

Yes, that's it.
First type "adb devices" (no" ")
If you get a long serial number then adb is set up on your computer but I doubt it seeing as you are asking how to boot into recovery.

If you have the AndroidRoot bootloader flashed, you can just to the "fastboot -i 0xb05 boot nvfblobgen.img" and the files will be regenerated. (Also, if you have them in dropbox, couldn't you just download them from there? )

I got it to work. Copy the build.prop file to your computer and make your changes there. Then reboot your phone into recovery (TWRP is what I used), mount System (in TWRP), ADB push the edited file back onto your phone, and then use the TWRP file manager to apply CHMOD 755 onto the file. Then reboot and enjoy.
That last step (CHMOD) may not be necessary. I never tried leaving that step out to confirm one way or the other.

Place the recovery on the root of your sd card. Make sure its not in any folders. Rename the recovery img "recovery.img" without the quotes. Then open up terminal. Type "su" without the quotes. Then when you receive the # sign, then type this
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
(and press enter)
you will now get this
#
now type
reboot recovery
and you should boot into your recovery you just flashed.

Its cool man we all been there. But as om4 posted you should always give exact details on what it is your trying to do or wanting to do. That way you get the best feedback. Also you can use the method I posted above to flash the stock recovery. However if you type the "reboot recovery" command and boot into the stock recovery you will have to hard shut down via power button to exit/reboot I believe. Not a 100% sure as I haven't seen the stock recovery since I first got this phone.
