[RECOVERY] [AT&T, TELUS, Bell, Rogers] Modified 3e recovery with adb root

---

Hi,

It's not CWM, but this is the stock 3e recovery + adb root access, allowing you to use adb to back up other partitions, restore, etc. etc.

Flash the pda-recovery-root.tar with Odin using the same instructions as for the Root kernel.

If someone who has not yet rooted could flash this and do the following from adb in recovery after:

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/tmp/stock-kernel.img
adb pull /tmp/stock-kernel.img
adb shell rm /tmp/stock-kernel.img

then upload stock-kernel.img that would be good for making a return-to-stock odin image

Keep up with the awesome work brotha.

You're a maniac!!

I wake up to this! Nice! I cant wait for proper CWM.

Tomorrow will be a great day as I'm holding mine

telus galaxy note

hi, i tried to back up the kernel for the canadian telus galaxy note with the adb root you have there but when i use adb to run the commands i get an error message saying permission denied. does it work with the canadian version?

Hi, I haven't tested with anything other than the AT&T GNote. Do you get the # root prompt in adb? You likely wouldn't even have adb without the mod working, what error do you get for what command exactly?

when i run


adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/tmp/stock-kernel.img

i get

/dev/block/mmcblk0p8: cannot open for read: Permission denied

then again do i have to be in recovery mode fir before i run adb? just figured out how to get into recovery.

Since I'm in Canada with the Rogers variant I was going to upload the stock kernel, but somehow I just cannot get into recovery to pull it, I've tried vol up+power, both volumes+power, and obviously vol down+ power is download mode. It's almost embarrassing haha.
I've always made good use of what the dev's have done for us since my N1, I figured I could give back at least a little

looks like i had to be in recovery mode. how big is the kernel suppose to be mine shows about 10MB

to get into recovery mode hold vol + and vol - and turn on the phone holding the volume keys and release the power key
