Need dump of d3 CDT and devtree

Hey guys,
Got both these partitions now all I need is a dd image of the system partition from stock d3 so I can put in the SBF.
Please try this and let me know if it works:
dd if=/dev/block/system of=/mnt/sdcard/system.img

Thats a link to the CRC of the test ROM, someone pointed that out to me earlier, thanks though. I'm on to looking for a dd of the system image, final thing I'm missing. All I have found so far are zips of the files which isn't what I'm looking for.
I'll let you know when the SBF is ready, more testers the better.

Whats the easiest method to get a dd image of the /sysytem?

I don't know what the system partition is, but I think this will work:
dd if=/dev/block/system of=/mnt/sdcard/system.img

Ok, does it contain any personal info? Also, i modified sytemui.apk, and frameworkres.apk to look like gb theme. Is that a problem? If so, maybe someonelse should upload theirs.

I would prefer a stock one so people can go back to stock, but no the system partition doesn't contain any personal info at all, its designed to be run read-only which is why you need root to mount it rw to edit it

C'mon guys someone must have a dd of stock system partition

The link I posted in the OP uses Recuva too..Just that to make it work, u need to make a VHD or a RAW image of ur data partition and I am not sure what the data partition block on the G2 is. If our phones were to appear as a drive letter, not as MTP there are tons of recovery tools I can use but from ICS onwards, this is no longer possible.

[EFS][IMEI][ZIP]Nexus 4 IMEI/EFS Backup/Restore Flashable Zip

IMEI/EFS BACKUP
What is EFS/IMEI ?
Every Phone has a partition which contains data relating to your IMEI ,radio settings,data profiles etc.. This in particular is famous with Samsung devices which have the root /EFS folder and which is higly recommended to be backed up before flashing any Custom ROMs..However there is a common misconception that there is no EFS partition for the Nexus since there is no root /EFS Directory and everything is contained in dev/blocks ..
On the Nexus 4 the IMEI info is stored in the three blocks
m9kefs1 (/dev/block/mmcblk0p8)
m9kefs2 (/dev/block/mmcblk0p9)
m9kefs3 (/dev/block/mmcblk0p10)
These blocks contain all the IMEI info pertaining to your device.This data is highly Device specific that means each device has a different data in each block unlike the blocks for recovery,boot which are common for all . So EFS/IMEI of your device is Unique to your phone itself and hence it is necessary to backup your EFS.
WHY BACKUP EFS ?
1) Some points have been covered in the What section itself ( Unique to each device, important data)
2) Sometimes during a flash or even otherwise there is a bad block in your partition which corrupts a part of the EFS/IMEI partition . You are left with nothing but a dead weight you can use as a tablet without calling features or you will need to revert back to baseband version .27(This baseband seems magical since it still is able to read the corrupted data) and Android 4.2.2 .This makes it essential to backup your current partitions to flash the same if ever the same problem occurs with your device.
HOW TO BACKUP ?
FLASHABLE ZIP
Original Script from Nexus 5 thread courtesy @autoprime modified for the Nexus 4
*Download Nexus_4_Backup_EFS.zip to your SD Card from Links below!!
*
*Flash the same with TWRP/CWM no wipes needed-reboot
*
*This will create a flashable zip (efsbackupflashable.zip) in /sdcard/EFS_Backup/ ...
*
*If you can't find it under /sdcard/EFS_Backup/... try /data/media/EFS_Backup/ instead. (Thanks @pincher65 )
*
*Also the EFS_Backup will contain the raw images of the 3 blocks (m9kefs1.img,m9kefs2.img,m9kefs3.img)
*
*Note each of the 3 .imgs will be exactly of 780 kb each
*
*Save this folder to your PC/Email/Drive for safety purpose

Restoring EFS
***NOTE*** DO NOT USE YOUR BACKUP ON ANY OTHER NEXUS 4***/NOTE***
To restore your original EFS just boot into recovery and flash the efsbackupflashable.zip in your /sdcard/EFS_Backup folder.
If flashable zip wasn't created or to manually restore efs img files run the following commands using adb shell while in recovery
If saved in /sdcard/EFS_Backup
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/EFS_Backup/m9kefs1.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
dd if=/sdcard/EFS_Backup/m9kefs2.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
dd if=/sdcard/EFS_Backup/m9kefs3.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10
If saved in /data/media/EFS_Backup/

HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF YOU LIKE MY WORK

Thanks for this good and VITAL thread for all Nexus4 users. Many users are going to be helped by this.. :good:

This looks great, One thing I noticed though, downloading the F2FS version from Mega was that it was named the same as EXT4 version. Could you rename them to avoid confusion for users and prevent accidental flashing of the wrong format version. Also just to report the google drive links seem to just open up inside the folder and don't provide an option for downloading the zip as a package. Thanks a lot for your effort :good:

Yup the names are the same for ext4 and f2fs but on the thread it specifically mentions the ext4 links separate than f2fs !! I think I'll change it later !! Also if you request desktop version in chrome youll be able to view the download tab !! Anyways will fix it though I dont like drive a lot

Thanks. I realized they were separate links but some people like myself might download both. I tried requesting desktop version as well as trying on my PC. Hmm. Maybe I could try another browser, but mega worked just fine. Anyway thanks again for doing this

Was surfing through the Nexus 5 Forums !! Saw more than 750 posts or 75 pages for the EFS Backup Thread out there !! Seems that guys owning the N4 dont seem interested in backing up their IMEI partitions !! Anyways ppl have a nyc day ahead !!
ps: too many typos im making today !!

If you do not know what is F2FS then don't worry your system is definitely EXT4.:laugh:

If I use a backup on a different Nexus 4 (brioken screen, would like to put the IMEI of the broken phone on the new phone), would that work?
basically extract the file from the broken phone and load it on the intact phone?

Thanks a lot for this. This is exactly what i was looking for!!!

Hi, I used CWM recovery. It flashed ok but I have no EFS_backup folder in either /sdcard or data/media. I searched the whole phone and no zip file was created.
Using Lollipop 5.0.1 if that's important...

Worked it out
/data/media not data/media

Android 10 update files deletion

Can anyone help me? I have a moto G7+ running Android 10 with TWRP and root. It's working fine... I mean almost, I noticed that since Moto pushed another update for it, it downloads itself and takes up space on storage. It started with 13GB, now it's taking 25GB of system files. I can't find the folder to delete these files even with root. I tried wiping Dalvik Art Cache, it did nothing. Is there anyway to perform this without having to reset the whole phone? Thanks in advanced. I used Mixolorer to try to find the page and TWRP to wipe cache. Also there's no cache option in it, that's why I went with Dalvik.

It's a A/B device and there is no /cache on it.
The update file for an A/B device isn't stored on your device. It will be installed directly from Motorola's server.
Open a fileexplorer in search inside /data for the file or open a terminal command and type
Code:
du -m /data | sort -g
This command shows all sizes in MB.

"System" are ALL system related partitions like /vendor, /system and so on. It doesn't matter which files are stored there. The size of each partition remains the same.

You can delete all files within /system, but /system is still 3GB.
---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 AM ----------
Only single files on /data are important because that is your internal storage. You only use /data. If you delete files on /system then /data won't get more free storage.

I got what you meant, but in my case something is taking up space on my internal memory and it's going to system. It's now on 27GB, yesterday it was 26gb, in March when I updated to Android 10, it was only about 10gb, and when I check data to see some files, there's nothing there to delete, that's what I'm asking.

Did u run the command obove? All you can do is to search for the file (or what ever it is).
Maybe a file explorer like FX would help you to find it. It shows you the usage of every directory you choose, always beginning with the greatest file/folder on top.
I'm sure it is only one special file/folder that causes your problem, so this method seems to be the best for you.
Example: /data/system/user/0/big_file.dat is what you are searching for, then you will find it by selecting "data". FX shows you that there is a very big file somewhere in "system" and like this you go further and further until you find "big_file.dat" .

Thanks for the tip, when I get to data and choose a folder, they all say access denied, even with root allowed. There must be something wrong with this freaking phone. Thanks anyways.

Anyone out there. I still need freaking help. I thought with the app I found, system storage would stop growing, but it hit 32GB of simply nothing. I've removed everything from the phone, moved vids, pictures. The folder says it's files needed to make android work, but why is it growing?

The file(s) you are searching for is/are stored in /data. You can EXCLUDE the following paths from your search:
/data/app/*
/data/data/*
/data/media/*
/data/user/*
/data/user_de/*
Do not search in above mentioned paths and do not delete them or something else!!!

I don't know why it took so much time for you to find the problem. Open /data and get the size for each folder, one after another. First folder should be 'adb'. What is the size of this folder? Is it less than 20GB then go to the next one. The next one is called 'app' and should exclude it so take the next one. And so on and so on...
You have a maximum of 20 folders. This should take approx. 5-10 min. and your problem is solved!
---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 AM ----------
or open any terminal app and type
Code:
su
du -akd 1 /data | sort -n
in the last line of your output you find the folder with the highest size.

Thank you very much for your help and I'm sorry for bothering. I'm really not an expert on these things. I think the actual file is so hidden not even root will show it. The biggest folder in data is exactly apps. First I thought you said I could delete them, thank God I only deleted user_de and when the phone restarted, I only had to confirm my account and 2.5GB were cleared off memory. Then I did what you told me to and you can see what it says in the picture, biggest folders are app and data. Since I can't delete data/app, I think it's another file, or even more than one that are hidden. Or my phone is just buggy. Last resort is resetting it... Anyways, thanks again.

Please have a look at /data/app. 25GB are too much for this path. Usually it contains less than 10GB.

Those are the biggest ones, but they're games (like pogo, Mario and HP) and they take about 2.5gb separately on Storage. I think musically is tik-tok, because that was its name before, I barely use it, it says 1.9GB, right? But the app itself says less than 300Mb. Also Google Port Camera looks huge and google quicksearchbox (is it the app or the widget?) and gms... Correct me if I'm wrong. Sorry once again.

Numbers on the left side are sizes in KiB (Kibibyte).
1 KiB = 1024 Byte (binary, 2^10)
1 kB = 1000 Byte (decimal, 10^3)
/data/app/com.google.android.gms (Play Services) = 296.880 KiB = 289,92 MiB = 304,01 MB
All folders shown on your screenshot (YouTube - Play Services) are together almost exactly 4GB! But the total sum of '/data/app' is 25,79GB
What about the remaining 22GB??? The folders above 'YouTube' getting smaller and smaller. To get a total sum of 22GB you need hundreds of folders!
My advice: Do a factory reset! I don't know what it is, but your device (or storage) is really messed up.

Thank you. I thought so, think it's actually the freaking update... I'll do it in some days, remove root and install a newer version of Android 10 from Motorola, then root it again. But thank you very much. God bless you.
