Hi,

A scan of my config :

So i have already do a backup of all partition (to .bin files) but as it said in the folliwing topic,

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450045

If the partition is formatted as ext3/4 then the dumped partition will have .img as an extension.
Other partition dumps have different extensions; examples:

radio.bin
param.lfs
Sbl.bin
zImage (without extension)

What's possible to launch for zImage (without extension)? The following command ?

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/mfg of=mfg.zImage

or just .img extension file is okey for reflashing ?

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/mfg of=mfg.zImage

A script already exist to backup all partition ? an example : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073775

Moroever, can we create .tar.md5 for flashing BL, AP, CSC, ?
The following old code, we can create .tar.md5 files with X part.
A template exist for htc one m8?
