[BACKUP] .IMG files for Acer_A100_1.018.05_COM_GEN2

---

I've been out of the scene for a while so here is a contribution to the A100 community...

Now that the A100 has been ROOTED, we can begin tinkering with the devices. As of now, I have not seen where we have Custom Recovery for the A100 available yet (THIS STATEMENT IS INCORRECT. SEE SECOND POST FOR RECOVERY. THANKS Theonew)so... I have made backups of the blocks 1-7 for OUR convenience... jejeje

THESE BACKUPS ARE STOCK, THEY ARE TO BE USED IN CASE YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE OR IN OTHER CASES, TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROMS...

Find a link to my Android Dropbox with the .IMG files, they are in .RAR format and will need to be extracted (They took too much space as .IMG files so had to compress... )

Anyway, if I'm correct, most of you will only need the mmcblk0p2 (BOOT) and mmcblk0p3 (SYSTEM) images. The others were uploaded in case you need them...

NOTE: The mmcblk0p3 (SYSTEM image) is divided into 2 parts, you MUST download both parts to extract the file. DropBox gave an error when uploading the whole file...

The information of the tablet this came from (ENSURE YOUR A100 MATCHES)

MODEL #: A100
ANDROID VERSION: 3.2
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.36.3
BUILD NUMBER: Acer_A100_1.018.05_COM_GEN2

***If your tablet is different OR you prefer to do your own backups then follow this steps from a Terminal Emulator on your tablet (You MUST be rooted for this to work)***

At the Terminal Emulator prompt type whats in GREEN:

su (Give SuperUser permissions if you have not done so...)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p1.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2.img (BOOT img)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p3.img (SYSTEM img)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p5.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p7.img

HOPE THIS HELP... AND ENJOY...

EDIT: WOW, I STAND CORRECTED BY THEONEW... I DID NOT REALIZE WE HAVE CUSTOM RECOVERY... JEJEJE, as stated, I have been out of the scene for a bit so... My apologies... I am still leaving the backups available in case they are nessesary for anyone. Thanks Theonew... jejeje

We do have a custom recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1558595.

Ohh man... Didnt even notice...

Thanks man... I didnt even notice that... I am still leaving the backups available for those that need it but I stand corrected on the Custom Recovery... jejeje

good to have those files because that recovery is not for the a100. its an a200 recovery.

but proper a100 cwm is under testing right now and should be released soon.

Depends on the brick but as long as you have some form of adb you can push the partition image to the device to restore the partition to a working state. If you're bricked past adb then they won't help that I know of outside of maybe nvflash.

What command could I run for that?
