Anyone know the partition number of recovery.img and boot.img on the sequent?



ok i need one of you guys to reboot into your stock recovery since you guys dont have cwm yet. First download this file and place it on your sdcard file
if you dont know the actions/buttons to press to boot into recovery please plug in your sequent into your computer and go to settings Developer Options and make sure USB Debugging is enabled.
you must have adb shell installed to do this.
open up command prompt and type the following

Adb shell
Su
reboot recovery
Click to expand...

after that your device will automatically reboot into recovery.
ones it in recovery you should see an option like "Wipe cache" select it by scrolling up and down with the volume key and press the power button to enter it. once done reboot your device and use a file explorer and go to /cache/recovery/last_log copy it to your sd card and upload it to anywhere and send me the link. this is a way to see if your recovery shows what partitions is what which will come in handy in the future for development of roms cwm etc in the future.
 
Can you go to /dev/block and copy the following files one by one?
mmcblk0p12 and
mmcblk0p13

Zip them up and upload them and send me the link thanks. My friend will need them in the future for cwm.
 
In root explorer, /dev/block/ only has 2 folders, platform and vold. I tried "adb pull... on both locations and result is "does not exist". so I adb pull /dev/block/ and it says building file list....then skipping special file 'mmcblabla' showing every partition on device. In the end it says 0 files pulled. 0 files skipped.

Look in both platform and void to see if the files are there. Btw you must have stock recovery installed to do this.
 
i was just realizing my lasck of judgement earlier. I tried the possible recovery posted on the furumn and its not right yet---doh. I got it pulled so maybe u can use the boot img, because that doesnt change with custom recovery does it? Well im not sure if its valid anyway because recovery and boot are the same size- just seems strange to me. I used cat command from terminal and got these. (again, recover no longer stock. im stupid) recovery.img download - 2shared
boot.img download - 2shared
