This thread here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342100 says nothing about cspsa, only efs and modemefs.
I already dd copied mmcblk0p7 and mmcblk0p2 to sdcard.
Could you please advise on the cspsa partition, what is it and how should it be copied?

I've been playing around and I screwed up my EFS partition. It will not mount to the folder. I have backups of my EFS files on my computer including the nvdata.bin.
I can upload the nvdata just fine and the phone will connect to the network upon reboot. The problem is that the block device which contains EFS data has been destroyed. This means every time I flash a new ROM i have to reupload my nvdata because the block that saves it is not mounted.
How do I rebuild/reformat this block of memory to avoid having to upload my nvdata.bin every time I flash?
See, that's the problem with being one of the top devs, nobody can answer the few questions you have...

That is for HTC phones.. They use different processors. It would likely cause my phone to freak out because of invalid architecture.
That's a classic, I'm sure there are some adequate fat.format methods but I always used the laziest one: restoring a dump of the partition itself.
I send you a link on twitter.
Thanks SuperCurio. I didn't want to scare people away before I got an answer... but here's what happened.. I used UnBrickable mod to upload BADA bootloaders to my Captivate. It treated my non-Bada formatted partition table as a invalid MoviNAND and tried to reformat it... It never suceeded in boot or whatever it was trying to do because the GPIOs in my phone are different and I could see errors coming across UART output.
When all was said and done, I used UnBrickable mod to restore my device but I did not have a block level backup of the EFS, only files. The EFS would not mount.
The solution was to get an EFS block from another similar device, put it on the SDCard, then type in a terminal:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/efsbackup.bak of=/dev/block/stl3
Finally, I mounted my /EFS/ rewritable and copied my /efs/ backup to the folder.
You can reverse the "if" and "of" to make a backup of the efs before hand.
Everything was working properly until i went and booted NexusS bootloaders and unlocked... lol. I can always restore again.
Thanks Supercurio. I'll post a blank EFS partition soon.
So if we have the block backup...then if we mess up partitions. We just move those blocks back to original place.?

Yes. Make a backup of your EFS partition and you can use odin to flash it.

hi
Do I need to partition my memory card to use custom roms? and what does partiton do??
I don't know what you're doing but I have not done anything special to my sdcard. Just use it as normal. On some other devices you need to partition the sdcard because there is not enough ram and system memory but this device is fine.
i dividing my sdcart into 4ext,2ext,and more partiones and my 16 gig sd now has 11 to use. so u say that i return back my partionts to normal and stuck??

The purpose for partitioning an sdcard is to expand the internal storage with external storage, right?

Looks like you came from some other HTC phone (like Desire, just like me).
You don't need sd-ext partition to use with IncS cause this phone has enough space on nand+ram (no need for a2sd scripts), so just go to recovery (I assume u use 4ext) choose partition sd card, start from scratch and skip selecting ext partitions so you'll get only fat32 partition. And, of course make a backup of data on your sd card cause it will be wiped.

since you have already made a partition you will see 2 partitions, just right-click delete on both of them and create new partition of fat32 and follow the tutorial and dont put label ext2, put sd-ext.

Hi everyone,
I have manged to corrupt my MI3W's NVM partition. No iemi hence no network. Though, I have the .qcn backup but the QPST is failing to restore as the NVM is complete corrupted.
Now there's only one possible solution and that is emmc dump of MI3W.
I would appreciate if anyone who has a working MI3W could provide me the emmc dump of the same.
Following is the code to get the emmc dump of about 969 MB. You have to be rooted.
Open Terminal app and the type the following, it should take 10-20 mins
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/MI3-emmc.img bs=512 count=2000000
Once done, you'll see a MI3-emmc.img file on the internal storage. The emmc can be compressed by winzip or winrar and the size should be reduced to 100 MB. Which you upload on Google drive easily.
Just be careful with the code, copy and paste if possible.
Awaiting you guy's positive response.
Thanks

Thanks again for the emmc image. I have been able to restore my iemi and got back network.
Fortunately, I had backed up my modemst1. modemst2, fsg and modem with dd command. Your emmc helped me restore my corrupted NVM partition and rest was done by the backed up partitions.
Mi3 has a locked NVM partition and I was trying to unlock the same. If you know how to unlock NVM then please share.
Thanks :good:

mmcblk0 is entire emmc but it depends on the size. In my case I've received 976 MB emmc provided by Klang, which does not contain sdcard/data etc as it's not the entire emmc size.
dd command copies the initial partitions which are there in those blocks. Refer to the attached pics of the emmc layout of Mi3.
I had tried Sahara & Miflash in download mode however, it didn't write the corrupted NVM blocks at all. Hence needed the emmc image of the size from a working Mi3.
