Root phone blocks map?

smith058 · Feb 6, 2012

how do i get a map of the phone blocks?

in paticular i need these directories (or there equivalence???):

+ sdcard

- amss

- mibib
- qcsbl
- oemsbl
- arm11boot

+ boot.img
+ recovery.img
+ system.rfs
+ data.rfs

- csc.rfs

.

they look like this:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
/dev/block/mmcblk0p10
/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
/dev/block/mmcblk0p16

i know that

/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 is sdcard

/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 is boot,
/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 is recovery
/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 is system
/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 is your data

if we can get these in order, we "might" have a shot at odin.... """might"""

Can you pull the files for boot, recovery, and system? I can try to flash those and see if I can at least get back into download mode and then attempt to reflash CWM.

smith058 · Feb 7, 2012

imfm, check pm
sent you the files. they are not stock. gl

smith058 · Feb 8, 2012

cat /proc/mtd
mount

you can type in emulater or adb these commands. i havent tryied in stock yet. but mtd does not give any info (i wish it would) and mount shows mount points and give a littile info but still need more.

but any way i found:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 is persist
/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 is cache
/dev/block/mmcblk0p25 is permanent

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 is ramdisk
/dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/sdcard

it has a few others but i dont think or know if they are relivent to odin

i ganked this from Koumajutsu, its was an odin maker script for the prevail... ive edited it a little but IT DOES NOT WORK YET !!!!
if we can map the partitions or blocks and edit this script properly and get the right .ops file... odin might have i chance... this script makes everything exept the .ops

so... lets figure out those blocks
for the prevail they look like "/dev/block/bml1" for the Ultra they look more like "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15"

if we get them right... we get odin.... (to the best of my understanding)

the names in the () i added

maybe we can match the partition sizes up with another phone to get the right blocks we need
(probably another samsung running gingerbread 2.3.4 / build number GINGERBREAD.EG29)

smith058 · Feb 12, 2012

i know know that the sdcard is:
mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard

mavrikmeercat · Feb 17, 2012

"IF" we can find another phone that has the same blocks we could use rhe ops file from it.

same processor--
same blocks---

I don't think we have to worry about if it has gingerbread 2.3.4 or the same modem (EG29) because we will have all those for the TU upon extracting and taring up.

what the .ops file does is it gives Odin a map of those partitions in it's own language. Your blocks have to be translated into Odin language. If we are able to kang one then the above would be all that we need.
Then you would be able to flash whatever files you need to your phone

Oh and sorry I haven't been much help lately. I am from and live in New Orleans and it's Mardi Gras right now. lol also work has been a bit crazy too. I'll be back on this in full, with you all next week.

imfm · Feb 17, 2012

Has anyone tried this command in the terminal emulator:
dd if=/dev/block/bml2 of=/sdcard/FILENAME.pit bs=4096

According to this guide it should produce a file that can rebuild the partitions:

mavrikmeercat · Mar 15, 2012

Just told interdpth about the GW in the irc and gave him the .ops and he said try it...

so now I need a dev phone..

anybody have a bricked ultra I can use?

johnny424 · Mar 15, 2012

mavrik pm Imfm...he posted in another thread that his phone is ko..maybe he could donate to our cause?..if not maybe we can all pitch in to buy one

smith058 · Mar 16, 2012

I believe IMFM sent his to Samsung for reflash and the are making him pay for a cracked screen before they reflash it...

If no one can donate a phone I'm sure team weaver would be an option if someone has a jacked up phone.,.. might only need to download a file and follow instruction well.... but Mavrik would have to give more info in that if its possible

smith058 · Mar 16, 2012

Droid 1 is looking like a way better match to me... all the partions are extremely close in size... looks like a match

What does 'mount' look like?... and 'cat /proc/mtd'

*edit* my dumb!
both D1 and GW look the same...

most match but i looks like a couple partitions are swapped
for instance, p28 and p16 needs to be swapped,

here is easy comparison:

Ok some reports...

I have a working .ops that will restore a phone enough to get it unbricked enough to boot and then from there you can install cwm to put a full working ROM on it

I can restore system, data, and boot as of right now

Penguinrepair, Hroark13, bads3ctor and interdpth(when he can) are working in the irc to get all those partitions figured out. they are making some really good progress
Once they do, we can do full restores via Odin.. then no more bricked Ultras around here..

Smith058 and I spent the better part of the evening today getting an odin tar from a stock, rooted backup he had saved

We were able to do this by kanging a script that Kumajitsu made for the prevail and editing it for the Ultra.

If you want you altra back then pm me and I will show you how and send you what you need

Root phone blocks map?
