Root Who wants an unrooted system image?

I haven't seen anyone successfully post the unrooted system image yet. I just picked up this phone today so I figured I'd pull the unrooted image.

Turns out the correct command was
Code:
did if=dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/external_sd/system.ext4.tar
I couldn't get /mnt/externalsdcard/ to work. Df in terminal said it was /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 which didn't work either. But ls showed the directory '/external_sd' and what do ya know! Success! ;)

Hey LV, nice to see ya here, try it like this: if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/mnt/extSdCard/system.ext4.tar, the S and D have to be capital for it to work and it should go through at that point, lemme know man... :D

I did try that, and every variation. I got the image with the command I posted....:)

Edit-now that I have flashed su & busybox the command works... strange... :hmmmm2:
 
TY Shabby!! :D I take it this is the complete Stock unrooted image??

Its a pre-update system image so it will return it to the state it came out of the box (minus the baseband) I'm going to update tonight or tomorrow and pull the system.img so shabby can tar it up for us. This way if we receive a future update we won't have a mismatched baseband which will prevent the update
 
no, this will mearly flash system, there is about 18 partitions in total, this covers one of them. messing around with this still can cause issues updating for future updates, its why i suggest using cwm instead of odin to flash everything :)
