[DUMP]Transformer Android 2.2 System Dump

SlimDan22 · May 14, 2011

[Background]

A few users have gotten Transformers with Android 2.2 installed with diagnostic tools included. So far there have been 3 confirmed users who have gotten these units.
These units are shipped rooted from Asus

Unfortunately, t0dbld has confirmed that the sbk is locked on these devices

The MD5 link might be broken.

Just some findings i found that i thought where interesting

in \system\lib\hw\wlan\ there are specific broadcom files

bcm4329.ko
fw_bcm4329.bin
fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin
fw_bcm4329_mfg.bin

The Broadcom 4329 supports FM according to specs
http://www.broadcom.com/products/Blu...utions/BCM4329

and look what i found in the app folder
FMTesttool.apk

Interesting...

The FMTesttool.apk wont run for me
I dont know if it is a honeycomb issue or a issue with it being disable in the Broadcom bin files

One user told me when he ran it it displayed radio frequencies but everything was in Chinese, and there was no audio output or any type of RF noise coming from the TF

Do any of these users have root access, a system dump is nice but we could use alot more than that.. we need to see if there partitions are hidden etc we need to see if they have an available partition map or at least a blkid command, next we should dd these partitions etc, the best we could gain from this is to see if the partitions still match up the same as in hc builds and than know where to look to unlock our devices

I am unsure since the 3 known users who have gotten these units seem to be regular end users, the dump that was acquired was done through a walkthrough by another member on xda from what i was told

If you want to contact welshiron and walk him through the steps in doing a dd image of the partitions and go over any other things you want to know about the device
(dont know if he is familiar with linux, maybe have him do it through a live CD if he is up to it, or maybe use Cygwin to run DD if it even supports it)

Im still an Android noob so i cant really help him too much

If he is the trusting type he might let someone remote in via teamviewer, logmein, etc. lol

Anyways, my theory is these are shipping mistakes because of the limited supply, and once supply increases we may never see any of these test units again

t0dbld · May 15, 2011

You Dont need linux for a DD, we need root and that is all, also if they are on 2.2 and linux kernel .32 than super one click should work for a quick root and unroot when done. after than we need to get them to open an adb shell,
C:\ adb shell
$ su
# blkid

this will get us some output that we can go on from there also there maybe be a partition map on the tab... i wont get mine till tuesday so i can only guess on where it is . either way we would want to start dd the partitions he has or tha came up for example from the same adb shell with su

C:\ adb shell
$ su
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p1.img

Didnt know dd was built into android shell, thats cool

Can you contact him and walk him through it, i contacted asking him if he ever used ADB before, haven't gotten a response yet

new roms have the same bcm4329 files, look in /system/vendor in any rom (prime for example).

and lol i'm stupid, dd is the obvious answer for the boot.img.
We could theoretically make a cool testing rom with that.

jcarrz1 · May 15, 2011

also, if a wipe/factory reset got rid of testing apps, that means they were in /data, so we need a dump of that too, almost for sure. you see, i've never had a factory reset that so much as TOUCHED system partition, so if the apps disappeared after a reset, they were in data, not /system.

Hi!

Sorry if it has been posted already

.

There is another guy who has received a 2.2 TF, and he cannot post in this thread.

I beg any master please go to this link (look in the pages 19 and 20) and help this man before he returns his TF tomorrow. Maybe there is still time to get something useful.

Are you talking about mmsson, if so he already returned it, he is the one who provided the partial system dump

But if you are talking about welshiron then i am in contact with him, it seems that no one has contacted him yet which is disappointing, i am trying my best to help him but i am not as experienced as other users in the community

Im working on showing how how to check for root

CalvinH · May 15, 2011

Yes I was talking about welshiron.

Thank you for your efforts. I would like to be able to do something by myself, but can't do much (well, apart from annoy you really expert guys by posting here and there).

Good luck.

Regards.

Buembel · May 15, 2011

what exactly are the advantages of a 2.2 dump? will you be able to make older apps work?

Blades · May 15, 2011

I wonder if they have a different bootloader.. Is the partition layout the same? Thats a different tegrastats than my gtab.. Has anyone confirmed that this rom is not already rooted.. certainly seems like it would be. I really hope I get one of these treats.

SlimDan22 · May 15, 2011

Update:

The dev units do have root access!, welshiron has confirmed it and was able to run the su command to enable root privileges via adb

i need help from other experienced members here, i am going to have him run the blkid command, but after that i am unable to reliably walk him through and dumps through dd, due to lack of experience

welshiron · May 15, 2011

I seem to have permission to post here now, how do I run the blkid command and what will that tell us?

Just a reminder, Android and Linux are alien to me so I will need help with the syntax

Im not sure either, i cant run it on my rooted phone with cyanogen

Im really surprised there is not a lot of activity or help, maybe its a slow day lol

Balor · May 15, 2011

I'm no expert but on my Desire I do this...

Download Mini ADB.

Have mine if ya need Link!

Run the Runme.Bat file
In the pop-up box type: adb shell
when it gets a console type: blkid

EDIT: Just in case it wasn't obvious, connect your Transformer to PC with USB and enable USB Debugging.
EDIT2: I think it's possible you will need to push Busybox to your device.
