Does rooting work on logic L61 smartphones? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day, I would like to know how to go about rooting a logic L61 smartphone seeing as it isn't listed in rooted devices section. Is it possible that the phone gets bricked while being rooted, does it support root? I just want to be able to increase my display colour saturation, which is very dull for some reason, but I need root access. Please and thank you for your help.

You may consider to temporarily root phone's Anndroid what has no side-effects.

To give you an idea how this can get achieved here excerpt of one of my Windows CMD-scripts
Code:
set and_arch=64 & set retval=
for /f %%a in ('!adb! shell "getprop ro.product.cpu.abilist64"') do ( set retval=%%a )
if [!retval!]==[] ( set and_arch=32 )
set su_binary=%CD%\SU-Binaries\ARM\!and_arch!\su
if not exist "!su_binary!" ( echo !su_binary! not found & goto :end )
!adb! shell "mkdir -p -m644 !data_partition!/local/tmp"
!adb! shell "mkdir -p -m644 !data_partition!/local/etc"
!adb! push !su_binary! !data_parttion!/local/tmp/ >nul
!adb! shell "chmod 0755 !data_partitio!/local/tmp/su"
As you may realize the SU-binary is simply copied into Android, can then be used immediately.

Thanks for the help, I was trying to use magisk to root my phone (android 10) however my device is not supported for twrp so I can't install it, Is there any other way to root android 10? Also I don't have a PC and have zero coding knowledge. I would be so happy if I could just use the sa2ration app.

Would also love to do this but need guidance. I have a PC. So I just need pointing in the right direction...

Now if only somebody can post the firmware updates..
English instructions
Well, with some help from Google Translate and some creative interpretations, I managed to do this and thought I'd provide some English instructions for others (with some added comments)

1. Windows -- the Arrows TAB USB driver Download.
2. Easy rooting toolkit (ERT) for Arrows Tab F-01D (ver 1.0) Download
3. goroh_kun's lsm_disabler.ko Download

4. A su binary, such as the one found in DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip
5. Android SDK platform tools. adb(.exe) (and in Windows, specifically: AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll)
Preparation
1. Unzip ert4F01D.zip, and in the subdirectory 'files' place:
* adb.exe (Windows only, from step 4 above)
* AdbWinApi.dll (Windows only, from step 4 above)
* AdbWinUsbApi.dll (Windows only, from step 4 above)
* lsm_disabler.ko (from step 3 above)
* su (from step 5 above)
2. Before connecting the USB, in Settings -> Applications -> Development:
* Check (tick) USB debugging ("Debug mode when USB is connected")
* Check (tick) Stay awake ("Screen will never sleep while charging")
3. Set up the USB drivers and Android Development stuff if you haven't already. I don't use Windows so can't help with this.
The Dirty Work
At this stage, you can run the batch file. Since I don't use Windows, I did the steps by hand, so you'll have to correlate your actions appropriately (I can't read Japanese either, so your guess is as good as mine ).
1. On your PC:
adb shell "mv /data/local/calib.dat /data/local/calib.dat_"
adb shell "ln -s /data/local.prop /data/local/calib.dat"
2. On the tablet, go into Google Maps, touch the GPS icon ("locate me" icon) on the top right hand corner, and then touch the BACK key to exit.
3. On your PC:
adb shell "echo ro.kernel.qemu=1 > /data/local.prop"
adb shell "rm /data/local/calib.dat"
adb shell "mv /data/local/calib.dat_ /data/local/calib.dat"
adb reboot
5. Once the device has fully rebooted, on your PC:
adb shell "mkdir /data/local/lib"
adb push files\lsm_disabler.ko /data/local/lib/
adb shell "insmod /data/local/lib/lsm_disabler.ko"
adb shell "mkdir /data/local/bin"
adb shell "echo '#!/system/bin/sh' > /data/local/bin/autoexec.sh"
adb shell "echo '/system/xbin/soff' >> /data/local/bin/autoexec.sh"
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/bin/autoexec.sh"
adb shell "mount -o rw,remount /system /system"
adb shell "ln -s /data/local/bin/autoexec.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh"
adb push files\su /system/xbin/
adb shell "chown root.root /system/xbin/su"
adb shell "chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su"
adb shell "echo insmod /data/local/lib/lsm_disabler.ko > /system/xbin/soff"
adb shell "chmod 755 /system/xbin/soff"
adb shell "mount -o ro,remount /system /system"
adb shell "echo > /data/local.prop"
6. I think at this point I was just meant to exit the lock screen.
7. adb reboot
8. Congratulations. You're now rooted. Go to the Play Store and download "Superuser" (by ChainsDD) and "BusyBox" (by Stericson). If you decide to buy BusyBox Pro, do not check the "symlinks" option in version 8.0, otherwise it's game over (no wifi, no adb shell, no root, no remount). It's a pain, but not impossible to repair this situation, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26964465.

Thank you for this wonderful post! A few questions:
1.) I use the F-01D but I don't live in Japan. One of the gripes I've been having about this tablet is that there doesn't seem to be anyway for me to get firmware updates unless I go there. Once rooted am I able to use Market Enabler to fake a carrier and update my tablet?
2.) This is slightly off on a tangent but since I can't find much English material about this tablet anway I might as well ask here. Another one of my gripes about the tablet is it doesn't seem to handle video very well. even 720p video doesn't play smoothly on it. On most of the software I download, it seems hardware acceleration is not enabled? Is this a hardware issue, or is it blocked by the software. And if the latter would rooting the tablet help resolve this issue; or is there any other solution? From what I've read the OMAP processor in this thing should easily be able to handle 1080p video right?
Many thanks! :good:

Just wanted to say thank you again. The rooting worked perfectly, though it took me a while to manually type in all the commands. For people who want to try this, you do need to install busybox before any other programs such as rootchecker will properly verify that your device is actually rooted.
And just for anyone wondering - rooting and using MarketEnabler has NOT been able to resolve the issue of not being able to update the software overseas...
Hey, sorry for the late reply, busy times :>
Glad the post helped you! I know I was super amped to finally get rood and get rid of all the bloatware I couldn't even understand. Things have definitely been a lot smoother since then (but far from perfect, also dying for an ICS upgrade). As for your questions:

From playing around, the requirements seem to imply that you *have to* upgrade via cellular data from a Docomo SIM card, and it can't be done via roaming, so yeah, it seems like you have to physically go to Japan to upgrade Your market enabler idea was a good one, but since you tried that (I'm assuming using the Docomo info), I guess the upgrade app is using a different source to check where you're at. Ultimately we need to somehow get hold of an update.zip (or other file) that can be run through the Recovery system (which does exist!).
2.) This is slightly off on a tangent but since I can't find much English material about this tablet anway I might as well ask here.

Haven't tried 1080p, but after some tinkering I did get 720p playing. I use MX Player, and although they said it would download needed hardware decoders automatically, it didn't, and things improved a lot after I downloaded the MX Player ARMv7 codec. Video plays great, but to get sound, I had to run the sound through the software decoder (just tap the music note icon, and choose "Track #1 (S/W decoder)".
On the other hand, I found the hardware decoding often gets stuck (relaunching MX player just gives you a waiting indicator forever)... and the only way to fix it is a reboot. Since this happens quite often, it's incredibly annoying, and I'm hoping an upgrade will fix it. Let me know if this doesn't happen to you. Also have some very intermittent wifi issues, some things work fine (speedtest, etc) but apps like streaming radio, some work fine (spotify) and others don't work at all (di radio). Some things work fine for a while after a reboot.

Incidentally, here's what happens if I try update via recovery (with no update files). Maybe it will help someone. Googling most of the stuff came up with nothing. The ** in the middle somewhere is stuff I couldn't read, guess I should go back and do it again but this is from quite a while ago.

Interesting situation...
First off...Kinslayer81, thanks for posting this. I found the original in Japanese, and was not eager to try to translate it. Thanks for putting in the work.
For everyone (especially if you got this to work) - when I went through the step, I keep getting a "permissions denied" message. Whether it's the ERT4F01D batch file, or typing the commands in... I get "permissions denied".
Did you guys encounter this?
Glad it helped you On which step are you getting the error? Any strange output on any of the preceding steps?
Every step is important, to be done in the exact same order, e.g. loading google maps and pressing the 'my location' icon, etc.

Permission denied
Oh I know... I'm not new to the game. I've stalked these boards for a while now... This is my first tablet though.
I've tried running both the ERT4F01D batch... and the manual input.
I get it from the batch file, as soon as I tell it to "RUN"... "Permissions Denied"
From manual input - LINE 2: adb shell "ln -s /data/local.prop /data/local/calib.dat" = "Permissions Denied"
Like there's some additional admin privilege I don't have. Hmmmmm....
And here's an additional kicker... the tablet auto-reboots each and every time. I've tried it a number of times (started over from the top), same result each time.

I must admit, I don't have any great ideas.
So you can move the file in the first step no problem, and just the attempt to symlink gives you the error?
What is the output of "adb shell ls -la /data/local/".
When does the auto reboot occur?

Do you mind me asking, how did you set your file system to read-write? I have the same error as you were seeing but it's not allowing me to remount as read-write...
Can you confirm what command you used please?
thanks
Sorry again for late reply
Dakedo_Baby, I've looked at your stuff a few times and it's not obvious to me where things are going wrong. I again need some more info to try get a better idea of what's going on:
1) Before the first reboot, let me know the output of: adb shell "cat /data/local.prop"
2) After the reboot, let me know the output of: adb shell id
As for the file systems, well, /data should be already mounted rw, and /system should be mounted ro until you remount it. You can see how each is mounted with just "adb mount".

The command to remount the /system partition as read-write is: adb shell "mount -o rw,remount /system /system"
Of course, you should only be executing that step as part of the given sequence and in the correct order. You won't be able to execute the command until after your first reboot in the instructions, after which adb should still be running as root.
Any good Custom ICS roms you guys recommend after rooting the Arrows Tab?
ICS..Hurray!!!
Just found this out in Fujitsu site:
http://spf.fmworld.net/fujitsu/c/update/nttdocomo/f-01d/update1/top/index.html
There is a 4.0.3 download available. Click the 3rd Button (Green) downloads the zip package.
The 2nd link has howto from PC.
Still not sure if this will work, but trying out.
Also may lose root..and whatever else..So keeping my fingers crossed.
Google translation link
http://translate.google.com/transla...update/nttdocomo/f-01d/update1/top/index.html
Will post how it goes.
I made a new thread for this, since it's a different topic and you'll lose root too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32200671
insmod lsm-disabler.so to remount /system rw
Back to the original topic... what I maybe didn't notice before is that the stock kernel blocks even root users from remounting /system as rw. So in case you ever need rw access to /system again, obviously you'll first have to be root, and afterwards you'll need to "insmod lsm-disabler.so" (as per the original instructions) before you can "busybox mount -o remount,rw /system" (or run any root app that remounts the system partition).

I also have this one.
The original ROM on mine is really bad.
And I`m struggeling to find a new one.
If you find one that is good, please post link
Also I can tell you that the PSU was of bad quality, and did`nt even manage to boot device.
Used another 2A PSU I had, and it booted fine.
Very week wifi reseption.
Bluetooth will not work With original ROM.

Are you 100% sure you have the Mark III edition ?
Where did you buy it and how much did you pay ?
I got mine off Ebay, still not there, 52 euro including shipping..
I found a useful link : http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.ph...07bmk809iii-quad-core-tv-sticks/#.Ujbh-yTCSdL
Too bad I 'STILL don't have my device...I want to start phreaking.

I've tried to connect external 2,5" HDD via USB and without external power supply, but it didn't work. Do you have any experience?
Can't get the driver loaded on win7 32bit Antony know of another way to root or flash it?

Yes, I got external HDD's to work, directly in USB port of stick (but with external power to HDD)
Also, I have a powered USB hub and anything I connect to it works.
For now, I have three problems
1- can't install a CWM , even for RK3188 devices
2 - Can;t find working instructions to obtain ROOT
3 - Can't install a Custom ROM as no CWM manager nor Root
The device is a beauty and a *****.

Wow, I never thought it would be this hard to just flash my MK809 III .
The tools and the posts I can find are scattered and it's just hard to get going, as I was not succesful in installing CWM.
Before I do more, I'd like to install a working CWM so I can always get back.
This device is about to defeat me !
Successfully rooted!
I am going to write instructions how to root the device.

great to see someone has made real progress... Rooting is already something.
If you can also install a CWM manager that would be awesome.
If you write your report, could you also include links to the files/.'
I can host them for you if you want.
Hope you get CWM installed, and a custom ROM

How to root MK809 III
Hi,
there is a description how to root the MK809 III.
Linux
Create a file for udev, for example
Code:
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules
and insert a rule
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2207", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
Reload the rules
Code:
chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules
udevadm control --reload-rules
Then you have to create a file
Code:
~/.android/adb_usb.ini
with this code, because of empty list after "adb devices" after this you will be able to see the device in the list
Code:
# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x2207
Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your mini PC (Settings -> Developer Options)
Connect your device via USB and check an option in the Settings -> USB -> Connect to PC
To avoid conflicts, kill the adb server
Code:
adb kill-server
now you should see your device
Code:
adb devices
in my case
Code:
[email protected]:~$ adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
I modified batch file a little bit, there was a mistake in a file name in compare with original file, so SuperSU.apk wasn't installed.
Before you continue after each restart, check the option "Connect to PC"!
Code:
#!/bin/bash
clear
echo "ROOT by xsigik"
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
echo "Rebooting (1/3) - Continue once device finishes rebooting"
read -p "Press [Enter] key to continue"
adb shell rm /data/local.prop > nul
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
adb reboot
echo "Rebooting (2/3) - Continue once device finishes rebooting"
read -p "Press [Enter] key to continue"
adb shell id
echo "If the id is 0 / root then continue, otherwise ctrl+c to cancel and start over"
read -p "Press [Enter] key to continue"
adb remount
adb push su /system/bin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/bin/busybox
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/busybox
adb push SuperSU.apk /system/app/SuperSU.apk
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/app/SuperSU.apk
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/app/SuperSU.apk
adb push RootExplorer.apk /system/app/RootExplorer.apk
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/app/RootExplorer.apk
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/app/RootExplorer.apk
echo "Removing changes except ROOT"
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp
adb reboot
echo "Rebooting (3/3) - You should now be Rooted"
In the attachment, there are all required files. Make sure that RootDevice.sh is executable.
Code:
chmod +x RootDevice.sh
windows?
Glad to see someone else is working with one of these. I've had mine for a few weeks, but haven't had much time to fiddle with it. I bought this thing to work as an inexpensive means to start coding on my own. I have never done much of that, but I would like to start. Does this code created require Linux on your PC to run, or could I run it on my windows machine?

Hi,
it's all about adb commands... so if you have an appropriate driver for MK809 III, put the value 0x2207 into adb_usb.ini in your home directory, then you should see the device in adb devices list. Now you can put these commands into the batch file or just copy&paste directly to adb shell.
I can try it under Windows XP, but I have a little problem with the device - hope to boot again after flashing original stock ROM :-/
Ok, my current situation is that I've tried several ROMs, Finless, Neomode, "original" ROM etc... the device was successfully flashed but didn't work, even ROMs that were for MK809 III didn't work. There was only a blank screen / no signal on TV. Only one older ROM worked

We have a Tablet which we cannot root to enable ram swapping.

The tablet is a Billow X103, nearly 2 years old with Android 7.0 1Gb Ram 16G memory and 32G SD. There are no TWRP/CWM recovery boot .imgs and none of the regular one click root apps work. Processor is a Mediatek 8320 I believe.
The bootloader is unlocked. There is no update for it so no OTA or stock firmware files. Where can I obtain a payload.bin for this tablet. Is it possible to extract it from the device with Python/Payload dumper etc so that I can use it to obtain the Boot.img in order to root it with Magisk. I have contacted the manufacturer, they did not reply. Any ideas anyone?
Android 7 OTAs don't contain payload.bin
Thanks, OK I did not know that, So How do I go about getting root on this device, with only the device available, ie there is no stock firmware apart from that on the device itself?
I should have asked how can I extract the boot.img from the device ?

You for example run a DOS script like this
Code:
@echo off & setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set "adb=C:\ADB-FASTBOOT-R30\adb.exe"
set "dev=" & set "name=" & set /a success=0
!adb! devices
!adb! shell "mkdir -p -m755 /data/local/boot"
for /f "tokens=1,4 delims= " %%a in ('!adb shell "cat proc/mtd"') do (
set "dev=%%a" & set "name=%%b"
echo !name! | findstr /C:"boot" >nul
if !errorlevel! EQU 0 (
set "dev=!dev::=!""
!adb! shell "dd if=/dev/mtd/!dev! of=/data/local/boot/boot.img bs=4096"
set /a success=1
goto :done_backup_boot
)
)
:done_backup_boot
if !success! EQU 1 (
!adb! pull /data/local/boot/boot.img C:\boot.img
)
endlocal & exit
FYI: Haven't tested it. It's on you to fix bugs if given.

Android is rooted when the SU-binary is present in Android OS. Because in your case you can't access Android's /system partition ( means: mount /system partition as RW), you have to put SU-binary into non-system-critical /data partition - for example into /data/superuser , and afterwards give this binary the necessary rights via chmod and chown commands.

Without root which is the final aim, SP Flash tool does not access the firmware, it is only OK to flash a cooked boot.img

Something along these lines looks to be the best way, it looks daunting but not much worse than rooting an HTC 10 years ago. Next time I will get wifey an easily rootable tablet with 4GB of ram to start. She plays games designed by **** developers where ram requirements increase with every update currently at 95% of total.

Need help for rooting Blackview new BV9900E

Hello,
I received a BV9900E a few days ago. it's a nice Rugged phone.
But... I would like to put a custom launcher with custom widgets and custom animated wallpaper. But if I shut down the phone, I lost all my settings, the widgets and wallpaper. All must be reinstalled, and/or reconfigured.
I try to use whiteliste, did several tries and try various solutions found on the net but nothing helped ... I lose everything on each restart. Only stock widgets work.
I think I have found the beginning of an explanation here: https://bbs.blackview.hk/viewtopic.php?t=532725
But for edit Build.prop, i have to root the phone.
I am not an expert for rooting phone and try like on the Blackview topic, but i don't find BV9900E/Android 10 specific stock ROM for now.
I only can find the BV9900E_S1_200929 rom and not the BV9900E_EEA_S900AA.
I try to root with the BV9900E_S1_200929 rom, Adb, magisk, but nothing happend.
Any solution is welcome !
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Modèle : BV9900E
System : Android 10
Num serie : BV9900EQEE002138
Build : BV9900E_EEA_S900AA_V1.0_20201103V04
Rooting a phone's Android doesn't require to re-flash phone's Stock ROM. A phone's Android is rooted when su binary got installed on it.
To prepare rooting you have to
Unlock phone's bootloader
Disable Android's DM-Verity & AVB locks
Flash a Custom Recovery like TWRP what is at 100% suitable to phone
To root Android you have to
Flash by means of this Custom Recovery SuperSU.zip or similar
Ok, thank's jwoegerbauer...
Unlock bootloader is ok. but impossible To disable DM-Verity and there is no TWRP for the BV9900E yet...
And i don't know, it's very strange because i can't mount system when i am on recovery mode for example.
Blackview has only one answer: It's not possible to do that.
I am not an expert with the handling of phones but I am not quite bad with technology either. I already had 2 phones that I ended up rooting but there, I do not succeed. I may have to wait a bit because this phone is brand new, the solutions may come from someone more expert than me.
Disabling Android's SElinux, DM-Verity & AVB is achieved by running specific ADB / Fastboot commands.
Mouning /system RW requires Android is rooted
Compile TWRP at your own if none matching available.
Ok, that sounds simple to you.
But when I search the internet there are thousands of answers that go in all directions ... It is not so easy for the uninitiated like me.
Do you have some links for illustrate what you say?
To disable the mentioned 3 locks you may consider to run a Windows CMD script like this draft
Code:
@echo off & setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
pushd "%~dp0"
set "adb=C:\ADB-FASTBOOT-R30\adb.exe"
set "fastboot=C:\ADB-FASTBOOT-R30\fastboot.exe"
set "su=C:\SU-Binary\su"
set "tmpdir=%TEMP%\%RANDOM%%RANDOM%"
set "su_binary_location=/data/local/superuser"
set "su_tmp=!su_binary_location!/su"
set /a cnt=0"
mkdir "!tmpdir!" 2>nul
if NOT exist "!tmpdir!\" ( goto :end )
set "dev=" & set "name="
!adb! devices
!adb! shell stop
call :install_temporary_root
!adb! shell "mkdir -p -m0666 /data/local/vbmeta"
for /f "tokens=1,4 delims= " %%a in ('!adb shell "!su_tmp! -c 'cat proc/mtd'"') do (
set "dev=%%a" & set "name=%%b"
echo !name! | findstr /C:"vbmeta" >nul
if !errorlevel! EQU 0 (
set "dev=!dev::=!""
!adb! shell "!su_tmp! -c 'dd if=/dev/mtd/!dev! of=/data/local/vbmeta/!name! bs=4096'"
!adb! pull /data/local/vbmeta/!name! "!tmpdir!"
set /a cnt+=1
)
)
!adb! shell "rm -Rf /data/local/vbmeta"
if !cnt! EQU 0 ( goto :end )
!adb! shell "!su_tmp! -c 'setenforce 0'"
!adb! reboot fastboot
!fastboot! devices
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /B "!tmpdir!"') do (
set "vbmeta_img=%%a"
if NOT [!vbmeta_img!]==[] (
set "vbmeta_partition=!vbmeta_img:.img=!"
!fastboot! --disable-verity --disable-verification flash !vbmeta_partition! "!tmpdir!\!vbmeta_img!"
)
)
!fastboot! reboot
:end
rmdir /S /Q "!tmpdir!" 2>nul
!adb! shell start
popd
endlocal & exit
rem
:install_temporary_root
!adb! shell "mkdir -p -m0755 !su_binary_location!" 2>nul >nul
!adb! push !su! !su_binary_location! > nul
!adb! shell "chmod 0777 !su_tmp!"
!adb! shell "chown 0.2000 !su_tmp!"
goto :EOF
where you of course have to adjust the pathname of ADB & Fastboot executables and the SU-binary
FYI: Have not tested such a script, it's on you to fix bugs if any given.
With regards to compile a TWRP at your own:
look inside here.
I also bought a bv9900e and have managed to unlock the bootloader, as guided here : LINK
Can i get some help with compiling TWRP ?

Android Phone memory imaging process

Hi Friends
One of my friend has accidently reset his "one plus 7T" phone to factory mode .
I want to recover photos and videos from this phone.
As phone memory is hidden by manufacturers and is not accessible easily , I want some help to make image of phones internal memory.
I have read that I will have to do following so that memory will be accessible -----
1) Root the phone.
2) Enable USB debugging in developer options.
Is anything else is also required besides this ? Is there any highly reliable software / hardware ( not like cellebrite which is exorbitanatly costly) which can root the phone irrespective of make /android version ?
I am fearful that if something goes wrong in the process phone may get damaged permanantly .
How safe it is to root the phone ?
Can someone pls. suggest a good software having inbuilt drivers of all latest phones and which will make forensic imaging of phone's memory ?
Thank you.
You already know it:
1. Phone's Android must be rooted
2. USB-Debugging must got enabled
If these 2 requirements are fulfilled then you can fetch the partition that holds the userdata via dd command.
Here example of a related UNTESTED Windows command script:
Code:
@echo off & setlocal
set "dump_directory=userdata"
set "dump_location=C:\USERDATA"
rmdir /S /Q "%dump_location%"
mkdir "%dump_location%"
adb devices
for /F "tokens=1,9,11 delims= " %%a in ('adb shell "su -c 'ls -al /dev-block/platform/*/by-name' 2>/dev/null"') do (
set "characteristics=%%a" & set "directory=%%b" & set "block=%%c"
if NOT "?%characteristics%"=="?" (
set "type=%characteristics:~0,1%"
if "%type%"=="l" (
if "%directory%"=="%dump_directory%" (
adb shell "su -c 'mount -o rw,remount %block% /%directory%'"
adb exec-out "dd if=%block% bs=4096 | gzip" > %dump_location%\%directory%.img.gz
goto :dump_done
)
)
)
)
:dump_done
endlocal & @echo on & exit
hi jwoegerbauer
Thank you so much for your help. Can you pls. suggest any windows pc based app ? I am absolutely not proficient in terminal command level work so will prefer any app. which will make sector by sector Image of the memory.
Thanks again
I don't make use of 3rd-party-apps: I do all by means of Windows command scripts ( read: BAT files what by nature are apps ) utilizing ADB as shown above.
