[Q] sm-g730a recovery help

I'm trying to build a recovery for the first time for this device and i was wondering if someone could look at my recovery.fstab and help me out with it. i found lots of tutorials on building cwm for a new device but editing the recovery.fstab and boardconfig.mk i havnt found really anything.
recovery.fstab

EDIT: I think i understand the recovery.fstab

I unpacked a stock-recovery.img from another post and got a recovery.fstab, can someone help me understand it?

intended_mount_location type partition
by-name doesn't always exists, you'll need to check what initfs is creating on your particular phone. The opensource kernel is available for your phone from samsung, best place to look imo.
PS. if this helps you I'd appreciate a copy of the firmware from your phone for a project

any updates on this?

4.fastboot
yes this device has fastboot.
Unlocking bootloader via fastboot
***reboot into fastboot mode
2ways
a] switch off the phone>>press volume up + power at same time>>boot menu should appear>>go to fastboot menu with volume up and then select by pressing volume down.
OR
b]connect phone to PC(i use linux i dont need to install any drivers or adb or fastboot packages).>>enable usb debugging mode (developer options)>>adb reboot bootloader
this will boot into fastboot directly.
***connect phone to the PC
***open terminal>>fastboot oem unlock>>press volume down to select fastboot again>>fastboot format cache>>fastboot format userdata>>fastboot reboot
now you have unloicked bootloader.
5. Recovery
when
adb reboot recovery

given >>it boot into recovery screen where only some chinese picture of recovery is present.
On chinese recovery screen, if you press volume up and power button you will get apply zip from sideload and sdcard.
6.there is no valid fstab present at the root
7. init rc files are seem to be hidden out or symlinked somewhere else.
if you try to open them they open as only a blank text file.
8. Build version in build.prop is KPW53.
i dont know which version of kitkat is that.

17. how to access preloader
The preloader does exist and can be accessed.
Remove and replace the battery and keep the volume down button with the phone connected to activate it.

Can you send me output of
Code:
cat /proc/cmdline
Also check if you have adb access in the Chinese recovery.

Hmm... and none of the exploits look to be working, Google has patched them all. Even if I had the command line I could have build up a recovery which could have opened all these barriers.
The factory images just like the Nexus line are likely to be posted by Google soon.

Is any reason adb not being available in recovery?

Try flashing this new recovery
https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?dev=varun.chitre15&dl=varun.chitre15/A1/recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img
Check if it boots.
P.s: You will lose that Chinese recovery after this, it isn't of any use anyway.

So there are no exploits reported to working as of now?
How about towelroot? (BTW I've seen many devices with kernel build date greater than JUN 2014 and towelroot working) If it doesn't work, you can try to play with modstrings.

Some how I borked my Nexus 6 and lost my IEMI. Im working on restoring it but im having some issues. What I think happened is the partition that holds the IEMI got wiped. Can some one post their full partition table so I can compare and contrast. Im trying to avoid sending my phone to RMA

Thanks! But this still sucks, according to your layout I have all the partitions and the correct permissions, yet when i try to write the IMEI back I get an error using efs professional, and QXDM just sits there. Something is fishy

Dunno. Can't help you. We're not to discuss methods of writing imei's on this forum.

I have some problems with my phone and I believe that it is a software issue (I tried to ask for help in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/strange-device-behavior-believe-t3159186 but without a luck. I have even send it to the service but as nexus are not selling in my country they couldn't repair it.). I was thinking that there is some problem in partitions. Bellow you can see output of the commands on my phone. There are some differencies but I believe that they are because you have unencripted internal memory. What is the most strange to me is a persist partition which is 30MB on my phone and it is using just 52kB. Can you please help me to repair it.

[ROOT] SM-S975L (Straight Talk variant) - OF4 FIRMWARE!

OF4 Firmware root!
Obtained by Team D3mons
Savage says Hi. Love LoopyD.
We've (or I've) obtained root on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Straight Talk variant OF4 firmware, which was thought not possible due to new Knox security updates preventing even the installation of a kernel. Here's my screenshots.

Original dev thread where I was editing and tinkering.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/devs-only/s975l-tricking-knox-flash-t3279741
This was done by a hex edit hack available in Odin flashable form heree -> OneDrive link. Flash with Odin 3.07.
(My folder is a mess, do let me know if I uploaded the right one).
This Odin flash will flash to NB1 kernel hex-edit disguised as OF4, so the flash does not fai from download model, then apply towelroot I succeeded with its generic mod strings. Tap 3 times on towelroot to enable them, then simply press "Make it ra1n".
TWRP that works on this phone I haven't tested yet, but appearently jfttmo works.
Thanks:
Geohot, Chainfire, SAMMobile, and me! (Press Thanks when and if it worked and buy me a pop )
Disclaimer: This trips Knox. Your warranty is now void (who cares, it's Straight Talk!) I'll see if Triangle Away I can make work once I get the money, I'll see about applying a lucky patch or something to get it to force-do our phone. Hopefully without a brick. But SuperSU will disable the KNOX notifications and security check.

I hope all this helps. More info available upon request. I'll pull as much as needed for a cyanogen or autoroot build, since towelroot works. I don't have a linux system nor can spend the time building. I have school.

I've got a galaxy s4 at&t variant which has been on nb1 for the longest time. From what I'm getting this method doesn't flash a new aboot? Can this method be used to flash the rom from the nexus version of the s4?

SM-S975L OF4 to custom recovery and rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64604828&postcount=98

I've really been wanting to root this phone for a while now. Great work! I'd really like to try this but I'm having some trouble understanding some of your technical terms. Could you maybe dumb it down for me?.. I understand meaning behind flashing software but I'm not familiar with Oden and you lost me completely at mod strings..

this needs a sticky its simple great work thank YOU

Sorry but does anybody have a copy of the pit file the link is dead

Original dev thread where I was editing and tinkering.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/devs-only/s975l-tricking-knox-flash-t3279741
This was done by a hex edit hack available in Odin flashable form heree -> OneDrive link. Flash with Odin 3.07.
(My folder is a mess, do let me know if I uploaded the right one).
This Odin flash will flash to NB1 kernel hex-edit disguised as OF4, so the flash does not fai from download model, then apply towelroot I succeeded with its generic mod strings. Tap 3 times on towelroot to enable them, then simply press "Make it ra1n".
TWRP that works on this phone I haven't tested yet, but appearently jfttmo works.
Thanks:
Geohot, Chainfire, SAMMobile, and me! (Press Thanks when and if it worked and buy me a pop )
Disclaimer: This trips Knox. Your warranty is now void (who cares, it's Straight Talk!) I'll see if Triangle Away I can make work once I get the money, I'll see about applying a lucky patch or something to get it to force-do our phone. Hopefully without a brick. But SuperSU will disable the KNOX notifications and security check.

I hope all this helps. More info available upon request. I'll pull as much as needed for a cyanogen or autoroot build, since towelroot works. I don't have a linux system nor can spend the time building. I have school.

Help - accidentally deleted system, userdata, and radios partitions on my Nexus 6

When Magisk Manager put my Nexus 6 (AOSP 7.1.1) into an endless bootloop, I fired up ADB, went into TWRP, and tried to set thing right.
It only kinda worked. My phone would boot to the desktop, but all kinds of things just weren't right. (For instance, I couldn't use the rectangle icon to bring up a list of windows. It just didn't do anything, period.)
After wrestling with it for 6 hours or so, I finally accepted the fact that I was going to have to reinstall the OS, and redo all my customizations. Unfortunately, instead of doing a factory reset from the bootloader, I chose to wipe the system, radio, and userdata partitions from the wipe menu in TWRP.
Yes, it was stupid of me. I was tired, frustrated, angry at the broken Magisk Manager update, and badly sleep-deprived (the latter is due to a chronic medical condition, and is now, unfortunately, my default state).
Of course, TWRP warned me it would wipe my OS - but I assumed that meant it would wipe the contents of those partitions. Instead, it deleted the partitions themselves.
I can boot the phone to the bootloader, and TWRP is still present in the recovery partition, but I can't get it to install the OS from a zipfile (I have a USB-OTG cardreader, which it can see), because THE NECESSARY PARTITIONS ARE GONE, so it errors out. The same thing happens with partition image files from within the factory zip (which I also extracted to the sdcard from which I tried to install the zip).
Although I have developer options enabled, and I long ago unlocked the bootloader, ADB doesn't work (even to sideload files, despite my having started the TWRP sideload daemon). It does see the device in sideload mode, but it doesn't actually copy any files. Nor does it see the phone when I list devices. (Windows 10 reports that it doesn't recognize the USB-connected device, btw.) Naturally, fastboot doesn't work, either, apparently for the same reason.
So, somehow I need to recreate the system, userdata, cache, and radio partitions in order to install the factory zip, and get my phone to return from its undead state. The thing is, despite obvious evidence to the contrary, I'm not entirely stupid. I do not know how to create and name the necessary partitions, nor do I know what sizes they should be - and I'm unwilling to experiment with terminal commands until I'm certain I understand both things well enough to proceed.
If someone who knows what they're talking about would be kind enough to supply me with the above information, or to point me at existing resources that:
a. explain in detail how to use the terminal to create, size, and name the missing partitions (in stepwise fashion, if possible), and
b. supply me with the sizes of the partitions in question EXACTLY as whatever tool I have to use needs them to be specified,
I would be exceedingly grateful.
Thanks in advance for any help you can render.

If you go to recovery -> advanced -> terminal and enter the command "mount" do you get anything like the following?
Code:
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw,seclabel)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,seclabel,nosuid,relatime,size=1507196k,nr_inodes=172748,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,seclabel,relatime,mode=600)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,seclabel,relatime)

tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,seclabel,relatime,size=1507196k,nr_inodes=172748)
pstore on /sys/fs/pstore type pstore (rw,relatime)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p42 on /sdcard type ext4 (rw,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered)
What I get is identical to the above, EXCEPT the last two lines. They read as follows:
Code:
/dev/block/dm-0 on /data type ext4 (rw,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/block/dm-0 on /sdcard type ext4 (rw,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered)
As you can see, the difference in both cases is "dm-0" in place of the volume designator.
As I said, those partitions are missing. The mount menu in TWRP won't allow them to be selected, and my attempts to flash the factory zip from an sdcard via USB-OTG fail with error messages indicating the partitions don't exist, so the images didn't flash. (This also happens when I attempt to flash the individual images.)
So, again, it's extremely clear to me that I need to create those partitions - and the radio and cache partitions - before I have any possibility of flashing a working OS, whether it's the factory shamu one, or a third-party firmware like Revolution/Remix.
BTW - Thank you for your substantive response. I very much appreciate your willingness to help!
Best regards,
Thom Stark

Try listing the partition table with this command:
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

I’m going to information dump here for you. This is all of the relevant information from my device. Maybe it will help you recover.
I’m not sure enough of my knowledge to give you any suggestions on fixing this, but if all else fails, android stack exchange might be a resource.
Good Luck!

Best regards,
