Root Stock System Folder?

@ PokemonTotalWar, thanks for asking for this and @ jsares, thanks for the upload! Backing up the system is something I should have done immediately after rooting but didn't. This would come in real handy in case total hell breaks out lol :)

Actually, I don't know how to do that through adb. Never used it. Everything I've done for rooting is through apps that work off the phone itself.

More on it here, if you're interested:
How To Install and Use ADB, the Android Debug Bridge Utility

I haven't really had any time to work on it myself. If you tackle it, take your time. I probably should look into it myself when I have time.

Gotta make a late dinner run... :)

How am i to go about flashing this?
I tried to just push the raw files over through adb and it all copied, but then i used "adb reboot" and now the phone tries to boot once, fails at the event logo, and then reboots to recovery.

Now i cant even get adb shell to work

[HIGH]C:\adb\stuff>adb shell
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Permission denied (13) -[/HIGH]
This is the error i get
 
Your adb shell problem *may*be resolved by pushing a new sh from the system.tar to your phone. It looks like yours has the wrong permissions, and pushing it from the computer should fix that... Unless the files in the BACKUP have the wrong permissions?
 
I used the backup/restore function in Andromizer Pro. You'll have to do a full backup at first. It'll save to your SD card labeled..
Stormbird backups. Andromizer will behave like titanium backup+ root. You can make both system apk backups, and user app backups. It will also restore both. I haven't been able to use ADB push successfully yet. Not going to try as this isn't my phone, it's my old man's replacement. His Evo 3D developed fatal issues due to prolonged over clocking! Be careful of just how far you push your fave device! Lesson learned here!
 
To make a nandroid with adb or terminal, you will need to have busybox, which can be in /data/local, so you don't need root. The command is (I think) "busybox tar cvf pathname /system" (Replace pathname with, well, the path name)
