[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theliels:
if you never overwrite the firmware with MB4, then you can dump if you want

The most important dump I need are SBL/SBL2 (XLoader/Bootloader), and maybe UMS. Another user sent me the rest of partition (most of them)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluffi444:
That is the Problem. I came from MB4 over MC8 to ME1. My bump wouldnt help. Im searching also for an solution. ;) Thank for your help up to now... Hope we will find one guy with the correct files....

Send from GT-I8160P
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluffi444:
Thanks for helping us.

Did you manage to dump the partition parts using the command: dd if=/dev/block/ (as Theliels suggested) ?

We really appreciate your help.

BTW: I don't know what went wrong with knipseringos files. We should contact him again, also.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevinNash:
Can you exactly tell me how to find xxx numbers ? I don't want to brick my wife phone, she'll kill me :eek:

About root, I want to use XXLK3 custome kernel here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2072872&page=4 to do it but before I need stock XXLK3 kernel to unroot, just in case.

I can't find this kernel anywhere, can I use the one in my downloaded stock ROM, there's a kernel.bin.md5 inside, can I flash this file with odin to get back to stock kernel and stock recovery instead of CWM ?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluffi444:
First - You don't need to flash an kernel to root your GB Ace 2.

One of the easiest way (for you) will be to flash an Pre-Rooted system.img.md5

Please send me an PN with details of your Phone like here - I did tonnsof pre-rooted FWs for ACE 2 / S Advance

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36549478&postcount=250

You will need ADB and you Phone must be Rooted:

This is if your ADB is on Drice C:\ADB installed.

C:\ADB>adb shell

$ su

#

# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p14.img

# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p16.img

After this you'll have the Files mmcblk0p14.img and mmcblk0p16.img on your SDCard. Both Files are 2MB (same size)

14 32.5MB 34.6MB 2097kB SBL

16 34.6MB 36.7MB 2097kB SBL_2
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevinNash:
Hello, you didn't answer to my questions ;)

I know how to root my 8160P XXLK3 version I need CWM kernel and flash superSU here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2072872

What I don't know is where to get stock kernel for XXLK3 8160P or if I can flash kernel.bin.md5 to have stock recovery instead of CWM.

I don't want to flash a full rooted ROM, I don't need it.

You didn't tell me how I can find xxx numbers :

Also, your adb commands are differents than Theliels ones, that's strange.

I want to help but I need to understand what I do, it's my wife phone, not mine.

So, how to get this xxx numbers for doing a full dump ? I want to dump my entire phone, not just one piece.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluffi444:
If you want to help us you don't need to full bump your phone. Only those two files!

Besides this an full will be to big to send easily.

My commands are correct!

With then you copy just following two parts from phone (I wrote it already)

14 32.5MB 34.6MB 2097kB SBL

16 34.6MB 36.7MB 2097kB SBL_2

Theliels wrote "blockxxx" just for an example! And if it called "blockxxx" or "mmcblkxxx" differs from phone to phone.

These commands will NOT harm your phone - We just copy SBL/SBL2 to SD card.

And if you want to save your orignial Kernel do it the vice versa way then shown on your link (CWM Kernel) - Thats logical I thougt.

dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 (To flash an Kernel (on SDCard) - The Kernel File called: kernel.bin )

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 of=/sdcard/kernelsave.bin (to save the Kernel to File: kernelsave.bin)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevinNash:
Hi, excuse me, english isn't my native language but you seem to be rude to me.

First point : I want to help BUT I also want to do a full dump for myself and others, I can upload the full dump with no problem, it's not bigger than a rom...

Second point : I want to understand what I am doing so I want to know how to have all block values for my phone.

I want to dump all my files and share the 2 files you need and you told me to just do what you need but not what I need myself ? Pretty selfish IMHO.

If you don't know how to get the blocks values and how to dump all the phone, just tell it, that will be simple.

I repeat myself but I'll do it as soon as I have all the informations I need.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knipseringo:
Hi Kevin,

Let me try to understand what you mean:

You want to have a full dump of your Wife's Cell phone.

you have to use (with rooted system) an app like the "TerminalEmulator" When you have installed the app, you can write in this app:

su (to get superUser Rights)

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0boot0.img

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot1 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0boot1.img

...

You have to write the dd command for each partition. There are a lot (I think 19)

A list how the partitions are named is posted in this threat : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42066631&postcount=43

The partitons which are called mmcblk1 and mmcblk1p1 is your external SD Card, these two you don't need to backup.

The second one, what you want to know is where you can get a stock xxlk3 kernel which you can flash, after you finished the backup. right?

I found one under samsungroms.com (samsungroms.com/firmware/samsung-galaxy-ace-2-gt-i8160p-gingerbread-2-3-6-i8160pxxlk3-france-xef-rom). Please correct the link with www in front, because I can't post external links here under 10 posts.

I hope that would be help you and us :)

Thx knipseringo for your conclusion... I hadn't the nerves to do this.

[MENTION=424297]kev[/MENTION]: I really don't know why you think I was rude to you. I only try to explain how to save partitions to SDCard and save/restore your kernel, as you requested. Keep cool and do it as knipseringo wrote (and others also) :highfive:
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonly:
I don't have any relevant info to give, but I just wanted to say that I'm following your work. If we can have a full I8160P ROM, that will be very helpful to me too. If it's a French ROM it's even better since I'm from France too. :)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevinNash:

Did someone know the answer and how to flash stock kernel only ?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluffi444:
For an ODIN Flashable file you need to make an *.tar.md5 (Linux or Virtual Box with Linux is needed - Cygwin is also ok)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1484304

This HOWTO is also quite nice:

Here are two way shown to flash/dd the kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1873119

As I wrote some poste before It would be easier and faster for you if you save/restore/overwrite your kernel with DD command:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42245994&postcount=54

Both with SU (superuser)

To flash an Kernel (located on SDCard) - The Kernel File called: kernel.bin

dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15

To save the Kernel to File: kernelsave.bin

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 of=/sdcard/kernelsave.bin
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevinNash:
Nice :good:

Do you think I can rename kernel.bin.md5 to kernel.bin and use this method ?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluffi444:
No - you don't need to - This works also - But you can delete the md5 from the file if you want....

dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15

Correct me if I'am wrong:

You want to be on the save side to have an original backup kernel before you go with the CWM Kernel?!

You still have an untouched 8160P on GB.?!

So you do not need some Kernel from the Net!

Just save your original Kernel and you are fine... I just realized that I am repeating myself to much while talking to you :)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevinNash:
Can I do this without root ?

I wanted to flash this custom kernel with CWM and root after http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2072872

So I can backup my kernel before doing ?

I'll be back from travel tonight and will dump tomorrow ;)

If I need root to dump, I can't backup my stock kernel because root process replace my stock kernel. Am I wrong ?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifo171:
1. You don't need a custom kernel to root your phone.

2. If you install a custom kernel and then want to go back to stock, you can just reflash your stock ROM with Odin (this will also unroot your phone as it will rewrite the system partition.

:)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluffi444:
Kev - I think its time that you read all the posts of this thread again. Everything was said and posted (serveral times in some cases)

I already offered you to make an Pre-Rooted FW for you. This will keep your Kernel as it is and wont increase the FlashCounter.

If your GB i8160 is untouched this will change nothing alse than add Superuser.apk to SYSTEM/APP and the SU binary to SYSTEM/XBIN.

I just checked my Files

mmcblk0boot0

mmcblk0boot1

Both are looking like to be completly emty in HEX-Editor... Same for the files from Knisperingo....

Found the Info (mentioned in "Triangle Away thread") - On GB these Files are NOT present! Thats OK!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30249325&postcount=3

The flash counter and triangle state had to be stored somewhere. Everybody knew that. Guesses have been made in the past where it could be, and I have personally compared the raw flash disk contents between different amount of custom flashes in the past, unable to find any differences. You can dump and compare the entire /dev/block/mmcblk0 and you won't find a difference (you'll find a few unallocated and unused gaps, though).

The solution comes with the new kernel uses by ICS builds. The flash disk actually has two hidden boot partitions, /dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 and /dev/block/mmcblk0boot1 . The MMC driver in the kernels used for Gingerbread did not present these partitions in the past, the MMC driver in the ICS kernel does.

mmcblk0p17

regarding Fileextension: This doesn't matter - You can call them IMG, BIN, BAK oder even whatever you want :)

Important is that to flash the file with NO file extrension to /dev/block/

To SAVE the Kernel to File on SD Card: kernelsave.bin (for example)

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 of=/sdcard/kernelsave.bin

To flash an Kernel (located on SDCard) - The Kernel File called: kernel.bin

Isn't there personal informations in this file like IMEI or phone serial number, can I share the link here safely ?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifo171:
There should be no personal data. According to this

- product code, BT/WiFi mac address, RIL calibration files, drm info and some other data are stored in EFS partition

- RIL calibaration files the same from /efs, and other configuration files created by the RIL are in MODEMFS

IMEI should be in EFS, too. (But I'm not sure).

Anyway IMEI or other personal data are stored in none of the partitions you are posting.

I'm trying to build an ODIN flashable recovery but Iam not sure about this STE_boot.bin of the GB RUS Firmware. I want compare them with one of a correct 8160P

These are "direct" ADB commands - Just go to ADB folder and run them:

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/STE_boot.bin bs=4096 skip=64 count=64"

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/STE_boot2.bin bs=4096 skip=64 count=96"

And send me the two files: STE_boot.bin and STE_boot2.bin - The second is just to be sure...

I dont know were the STE_boot ends exactly on GB... Mine (on JB) ends (in HEX Editor) like the first file...

But the ExcelSheet we have its like the second....

This will do nothing to your phone - And no personal data included

It copies just the hidden STE_boot.bin out of mmcblk0 (which is the complete FW on your Phone)

Up to now - NO sucsess! :crying:

Bulid an ODIN flashable file with parts of Kevin's files in combination with original I8160PXXLK3 and few parts of RUS GB Version...

I changed everthing possible, looked many time in each partion to make nothing wrong...

Flash was OK... But the Phone stays on i8160 (without P) on boot... Even in Recoverymode it says 8160... What the fu** :mad:

After booting Mr. Android said Hello with 8160P!

But further testing wasn't possible because missing baseband/net...

I really don't know were the "switch" is that even on boot (which I think its important) and 8160P is recognized.

Enough for today :laugh:

But this was a good way to test the 3.8 GB FULL Backup (I made before, of course) with DD command - This works (good to know)

Mount SD Card from stock recovery: - Needed for both!

adb shell su -c "mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard"

FULL Backup:

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/fullbackup.img

FULL Restore:

adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/fullbackup.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

Complete Phone is exacly as it was before....

But I don't give up! There must be a way!

There is another File in the net: Samsung GT-I8160 Boot 25-11-2012 15_25_00.bin

This is also an 8160P Bootimage (first 80 MB of the complete mmcblk0) - Maybe this could be an way...

Hello,

I don't know if that can help but I saw one thing :

mmcblk0p1 to mmcblk0p17 => 3.67 Go => 3 946 315 776 o

mmcblk0 => 3.68 Go => 3 959 422 976 o

So the full backup is bigger ( a little but bigger ) than the 17 other parts, just my 2 cents

Yes - I know... this is hidden... One of the hidden parts I requested recently from you: STE_boot.bin

You can "cut" each part with an dd command out of mmcblk0.

Look at this nice cart - Made by avkiev

The HEX data is not shown correctly but if you change the russian Excel command to your local you'll see also the correct HEX adresses were the Data is located in big file mmcblk0

Thx for the hint anyway....

Will do another run next days - have some ideas to realize :)

First (partial) sucess! :fingers-crossed:

Full 8160P back including Recovery Mode and Boot Logo!

BUT: now the IMEI is away so the phone is not useable at the moment....

Tried several methods to get it back but without success! (TEE folder, EFS Partition, ModemFS Partition, etc)

If some of you know were the IMEI is stored in the main Partition mmcblk0 please let me know

Going back to fullbackup.img and finished for today :)
