Romdump uses cat /proc/mtd it to determine which partition is recovery, boot, system so it knows what to backup.

Some phones does not have cat/proc/mtd and I think there is no much use of romdump :crying:

Also /proc/emmc does not exist on my phone, and I see no use of

sed s-/proc/mtd-/tmp/mntx- < romdump > romdump.new

and linking it to /proc/mounts

when cat /proc/mounts returns totaly different structure of data than /proc/mtd should

Like the 2 aforementioned posters, I too did not get either the boot or recovery img files... any ideas?

I'm working on a Trio Stealth Pro 7C (cheap & chinese) with an A13 inside. It came pre-rooted, so all I had to do was "su" in while running Terminal on the thing... no actual superuser app on the tab...

Would the lack of the superuser app affect the dump at all?

Would I even need either one of those files in order to create a custom ROM?

Realized the romdump and worked properly.

once you have those img files it's possible to build a tar.md5 that will reflash the phone to stock, either send them to me, or create the odin and send that to the community we need it badly.... keep in mind not sure which if any of these paritions at this point have the ESN custom flash counter etc. system/boot/recovery/modem (stock and of same build) are absolutely vital to a odin we can use to return these phones to factory...
