Can someone please get a full system dump for me and pull the boot.img? If you could upload it and drop me a link that would be awesome! THANKS!!!

If you know the adb commands I will get it for you once I unbrick my phone.

Sounds good. It is actually rather easy.

For the system pull, copy and paste the adb.exe into a new folder, cd into that folder in command prompt, then type

Code: 
adb pull /system

For the boot.img, while still in command prompt type
Code: 
adb shell
Then
Code: 
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p? of=/sdcard/boot.img
Where ? is the partition for the boot.img (If anyone knows it please let me know and I will update this post, thanks). There will then be a copy of the boot.img on your sdcard. Thank you so much for the help!
 
Sound good I will get on that when I get home from work. Do you by any chance know how to deodex this phone with adb. Os there a way to do i that way?
 
I have the System dump and the boot.img you were asking about. I cant get it to upload though. let me know if there is another way to get it to you.

Awesome! The only way is to upload them :( If you can zip it up in different folders and upload it that way it would be great. Or you can check out dropbox. You can get a free account and it has a lot of other cool features!
 
I can give you an FTP acct to upload to and I can host it, if you want.

I planned on doing a 2.3.5 AOSP, deodexed when I can get my hands on the device files. I can't ever get ADB working on my machine, so I have to wait for someone else to do a dump. :/

What kind of problem are you having with adb? In Linux I have to do
Code: 
 sudo ./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server
everytime I restart. Might give it a try.
 
I'm using a VM box and I can't ever get it to recognize phones connected via USB. Admittedly, I haven't tried with the Spectrum, but it hasn't found any of the others I've tried to connect.

*Edit* Actually, I'll give it a try for S's and giggles.
 
Ah. Can one of you pull an extract from ADB for me? I can't get adb working on my vm box. If you need somewhere to upload the files, I can give you an ftp acct to my server.
