OK well... I have a linux machine I can use, but I never used ADB on it. if someone wants to walk me through it, I'll do a system dump on linux. If not, well, not much I can do...

Ok, no prob, that is what I do, UNIX and Linux is my thing....

You will go grab the SDK for Linux:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

It should detect that you are running linux and give you a button to download for linux.

Then follow this:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html

and this:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/adding-packages.html

You will basically run the command android, from where you installed it and select the correct packages and install them.

These are good things as well:

Happy to see the family in here nun! If anyone needs anything I just powered up and finished setting up. Can't believe it got here overnight from TN.

A firmware image is needed to gain root build a proper insecure kernel. I'm looking for the same thing for the tmo variant, but Samsung hasn't released the firmware yet...

The source code for the AT&T kernel was released and posted here, and well as the source code for the software, both for the AT&T version are up here in the dev section. Then can be compiled very easily. You would just need to figure out how to create a flash-able tar file for ODIN/heimdall.

It is possible with what we have available right now. I am not sure about the T-MO version though, as I have not looked over in that section.

I'm just getting in to kernel hacking on Android, but afaik it is not possible to create a flashable tarball without the initramfs from the phone, which needs to be extracted from the boot partition from the device. You can't extract this from a device without root, so we need a firmware download from Samsung to extract it from instead.

i dont think so fenny fatal is compiling a kernel as we speak using nothing but source...

Yeah, I've already compiled the SGH-T999 kernel too... but the initramfs is the delivery mechanism needed to create an Odin tar. You put the compiled insecure kernel and the ramdisk into the initramfs and flash that. It's the ramdisk portion of the initramfs that we need from a US variant of the S3... maybe the international version can be hacked to work, dunno, but it doesn't work out of the box.

Excuse my ignorance, but won't Odin do a system dump?

I think I'll take one of these and see what I can do

Just as an update, last night I uploaded a rooted system.img to FennyFatal. I'm looking into options to host it in the cloud for everyone, so if someone knows a file host that can take up to 1GB files and actually distribute it quickly, let me know.

Try asking one of the devs here to post it for you on the cloud service that xda has for them...I think its called devhost or something to that nature.

I am downloading now. I will throw it on Dev-host.

@entropism, here are dev-host links for both of your dumps. I see NunHugger put up the 7z, but I already had it uploaded so I included it.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I'll update the first post accordingly.

Hi, I'm not used to system dumps. If I download this will I be able to extract the messaging APK as that is what I need + messaging does file. If I am unable to extract them from the system dump, can someone extract them & post for me please?

Can you join the IRC channels we have set up? We're looking for a Rogers dump!

On freenode, the rooms are #attsgs3 and #sgsiii

Uploading a Rogers System Dump as we speak ...

I'm currently in the process of uploading a Rogers system dump. I sent the link via PM to howtomen, and will let him know the moment it's ready to download.
