In Samsung Devices PARAM Partition Location Can Be Different. Before You Get PARAM.bin file You Need To Locate Correct Partition.

1. Run These Commands
adb shell
ls /dev/block/platform

In Results you can find blocks (ex: 13540000.dwmmc0/ 13560000.dwmmc2/ -Result can be Different in your device)

2. Now Run ls Command against these blocks to get partition names by-name
ls /dev/block/platform/<insert block here without <> ex:13540000.dwmmc0>/by-name

Repeat This Command Until you find a partition List that Contain PARAM

Now You Can Dump and Pull Partition

greeting, p.s i attached the image in case heat read a lot.
1- thanks for your efforts. but when follow the instruction, the second command line
"ls /dev/block/platform" return "soc.0". when try run third command line "ls /dev/block/platform/soc.0>/by-name" it return nothing, as appears in attached screenshot .

2- my phone is j500h. the palam file (10 MiB "Mebibytes" = 10.5 MB file without any extension) is stored in "/dev/block/bootdevice/byname" and also stored in "/dev/block/platform/soc0/7824900.sdhci/byname". i take copy from this file using file manager app with root premsion but i can not find any way to extract it. also the blocks stored in "/dev/block/platform/soc0/7824900.sdhci/byname".

3- i try reset your command to match my phone storage. so i use this command "ls /dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci" and the result was 29 block+by-name folder.
but when i try the scond command "ls /dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/mmcblk0>/by-name", i get nothing.

any help to solve this are very welcome

Hi, I'm trying to kill off the annoying Samsung unlock warning on my Tab A 8.0 LTE SM-T295.
On another post , I got some support to get close to the param.bin file. I was schooled to type this in a command window:-

I was then passed a comment that my param.bin file is located in the "mmcblk0p47" section

...but from here I'm lost.

Can anyone lead me towards the right string of actions to kill off this annoying unlock warning ?
