Can someone with an uncompromized recovery image do a
Code: 
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 > /sdcard/boot.img
and
Code: 
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 > /sdcard/recovery.img

I forgot to make a backup before flashing a test. Thanks somebody

you must have root, use a file/root explorer and go to /dev/block, now inside /dev/block, there are only two folders, "platform" and "vold." look in both folders if you see mmcblk0p12and mmcblk0p13 copy thoses too files one by one to your sdcard. zip them up and upload em somwhere and send me the link. thanks
 
that wasnt working for me...the partitions are technically there but wouldnt appear at all. My guess, phone is trying to keep us out? What I had to do was
Code: 
adb shell
Code: 
su
Code: 
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 > /sdcard/boot.img
Code: 
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 > /sdcard/recovery.img

when ur done you have boot.img and recovery.img on the sd card(this version of this command requires a sdcard in the phone. easy to change). please give those to me. This is all done from the command promt of ur pc with adb installed and root on ur phone. If you need anymore instruction, I think you should sit this out till we make progress. Thank you all.:D

huh, alright then better do it that way.
 
I have cwm working on my phone. its not perfect and it loses stock recovery so I wont go in any detail how to do it and I HIGHLY reccomend NOT attempting to put any cwm on it until someone, anyone gives us a backup of these files we are asking for. If we all put this half-way recovery on our phones and dont backup the stock first, we have no way out. Let the games begin ppl
 
sorry guys, I overlooked it last night. Its simple to get the backups using root explorer. mmcblk0p12 and mmcblk0p13 are in /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/
Please get that to us. All progress waits on this. Thanks
