Default Verizon stock ROTO files minus the Data partition

*** EDIT *** Sorry these files are no good so I'm removing the links. There are a few other threads that will provide the help and files needed
I have used this thread to restore my Tab and it worded perfectly

http://gizmoninja.com/2011/04/21/how...n-update-ec02/

I've had a few problems up to this point but now having these files has helped me feel more secure about recovering back to a completely fresh Verizon stock image including reverting to rfs from ext4.
Ok, here are the files create from a ROTO back-up minus the data. This was completed on a brand new Verizon G-Tab with only temp root. I know quite a few people may need this so share as needed.
Includes the following files:
boot.bin
cache.rfs
dbdata.rfs
efs.rfs
factoryfs.rfs
ldb.db
modem.bin
param.lfs
param.rfs
pit.pit
bls.bin
zImage


Hope these help

Just curious, did you happen to repartition using the PIT file?

Nope. But from what I have read, it should work. We were just missing the actual file to do it...
Let me know how it works if you do it

Hmm, ok. I had read that once you converted to EXT4 that you needed to repartition to get back to RFS. I'm not saying that's true, just that I saw it somewhere.

I'll try to flash first without repartitioning, then repartition if that doesn't work.

The reason I said no, is because I have not used these to recover yet.
I did have the issue where I needed to repartition and couldn't find the file anywhere. So I ended up returning my device for a new one. Then did this pull so I could recover if I got back to that situation again.
By all means , use the pit file. that's what it's there for

Ok, i'm having issues with the repartitioning.


I have all the files in the right spot, but when I hit start, I get "failed to retrieve config descriptor"

Anyone get this before? Any fixes?

I haven't seen or heard of that error. Might want to PM Roto to see if he has any ideas

I can't, he's set to not receive PMs

Someone mentioned that there's a way to boot into a secondary bootloader and try flashing in the download mode that way, but I don't exactly know how to do that.

I'm THIS close to sending this thing into samsung for a warranty repair.

Well you got further along then I did when I was in your shoes. I sent mine back and got a new one. That's why I created the Roto backup...

I saw what the other guy said and was confused also. Never to that before so I wouldn't know how to start...
