Root [DEV][Recovery] Clockworkmod Recovery

i tried dumping the partitions using adb and terminal emulator but with no sucess i am new to this so maybe im doing something wrong. also i believe the bootloader is locked since the lg optimus l7 bootloader is locked and boost basically renamed it to the lg venice
 
well i tried again to dump all the partitions and i was only able to get these files system.tar, config.gz, checksum.md5, system.info.gz. For some reason the boot.img and the recovery.img dont get dumped has anyone else tried?
 
I just tried after searching how to do it and it said that the boot and recovery partitions where dumped but all I get are the same files thermalpaste gets..

Some one get me the following and I will see what I can do.


  • dump of the recovery partition
  • dump of the boot partition
also, anyone know if the bootloader is locked or is doing sig checks on recovery & boot?

Glad to see you take interest in helping us new Venice owners!!!! Thanks PlayfulGod, I will research on extracting this for you and see if I can get some ideas as to what to do from some other devs with LG Black as far as the locked issue.
 
I wish a knew how but im new to android the only think I know ho to do is flashed a rom but thank pg hope to se this forum like the esteem soon a lot of help ovethere
 
ok these are the partitions that i know for sure are correct but i am not quite sure which partition is for boot or for the recovery. the lg optimus l7 has partition mmcblk0p9 as the boot and mmcblk0p17 for the recovery so i went ahead and pulled those partitions since the phones are basically the same but i am not sure if they are correct.

in adb in entered the command cat /proc/partitions to list all the partitions and then i used cat /proc/mounts to identify the partitions.then to pull the boot partition i used dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/boot.img and dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/recovery.img to pull the recovery.

boot you got right, recovery is a nogo!!! Try p8 ;)
 
If you reboot into stock recovery and wipe cache or something once you reboot there should be a file in /Cache/Recovery folder called recovery.log and when you open it, it usually display the system boot cache data and recovery partition number. Try and see if that works.
 
im not sure how to get the file off my phone but doing what chevanlol360 says gives me this

sorry about the go launcher thing that's how i took the pic
 
I am rooted but when i start the terminal it doesn't ask for "su" rights like some other programs do like root explorer

Thanks for your time on this chevanlol360

Then i'm assuming that you already gave it Su upon opening of the app automatically.

anyway what is the command your using?

Try using this command to pull the partition to the root of your sdcard
[HIGH]dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/recovery.img[/HIGH]

that will pull a copy of the partition and push it to your sdcard,
open a file explorer to view files on your sdcard and look for recovery.img and pass it along to playfulGod
