[Android General] streetmedic:
I recall earlier in thread you needed a dump app for the garmin

i found this along time ago and have never tried it but this may be of some use

it is called ROM dumper v0.72b i dont think i am allowed to post outside links but search usual means for the above name. I may have mis read but it is the thought that counts

Here is the readme file

Android ROM dumper v0.72b

*So you've decided to <strike>steal cable</strike> dump your ROM*

/Myth: Dumping your ROM is wrong.

Fact: Google is a big faceless corporation, which makes it okay.../

romdump is a (very) simple program that dumps the BOOT, RECOVERY and

SYSTEM partitions to your SDCARD, this will allow someone who is

technicaly minded to create a recovery image... and that is a GOOD thing...

DOWNLOAD HERE <http://android.podtwo.com/romdump/romdump.zip>

Once you have downloaded and unziped the file you will have an 'install'

file, now its time to goto work. There are two ways to proceed...

*Method One* - /ADB/

ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge, and is something you really should

have working, I dont intend to enter into a long tutorial on how to

install and set this up, but someone at google has

<http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html>. Make sure you have

enabled 'USB Debugging' on your device (goto Settings / Applications /

Development).

Once you have adb type the following commands:

adb push install /data/local/

adb shell chmod 04755 /data/local/install

adb shell /data/local/install

you should see something like following:

[*] Android local root exploid (C) The Android Exploid Crew

[+] Using basedir=/sqlite_stmt_journals, path=/data/local/install

[+] opening NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT socket

[+] sending add message ...

[*] Try to invoke hotplug now, clicking at the wireless

[*] settings, plugin USB key etc.

[*] You succeeded if you find /system/bin/romdump.

Once you see that you need to turn your Wifi on and off, usualy in

Settings / Wireless & Networks / Wi-Fi

now thats done, type the following:

adb shell romdump

then wait for it to finish, it can take a while.

*Method Two* - /Terminal/

You need to install a terminal application from the Android Market, I

recomend google's own, but as long as its free.

Once you have installed it, copy the downloaded install file to the root

of your sdcard, then launch your terminal application and type the

following commands:

cat /sdcard/install >/data/local/install

chmod 04755 /data/local/install

/data/local/install

you should see something like following:

[*] You succeeded if you find /system/bin/romdump.

Once you see that you need to turn your Wifi on and off, usualy in

Settings / Wireless & Networks / Wi-Fi

now thats done, you will need to launch the terminal application one

more, and type the following:

/system/bin/romdump

then wait for it to finish, it can take a while.

Once the program has finished you should find a directory in the root of

your SD card called romdump and a sub-directory named after your device

model. Take those files and give them to someone who knows how to make a

recovery zip.
