Here's what I need so that I can update things like Firmware packages, ROM files, mods, etc...
This is all assuming they didn't break our ability to root and/or use a custom recovery
This is already done:
First ensure you're on the NAE update. (Duh)
Root it
Enable USB Debugging, connect to PC with adb setup and do the following:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/apnhlos of=/data/local/tmp/apnhlos.bin
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/mdm of=/data/local/tmp/mdm.bin
exit
adb pull /data/local/tmp/apnhlos.bin
adb pull /data/local/tmp/mdm.bin
It's possible they don't allow writing to /data/local/tmp, you might just use /sdcard instead. (so change of=/data/local/tmp/x.bin to of=/sdcard/x.bin) but being in su should grant you access to do whatever.
You'll have two files (apnhlos.bin and mdm.bin), zip those up, upload them somewhere and send them to me.
I still need this
Next for the system file(s) I need...
First ensure you're on the NAE update. (Duh)
Wipe it to full stock, no mods, no personal apps, no accounts setup, nothing.
Flash recovery
Boot to recovery and do a Nandroid backup to your external sd card.
Boot back to system and copy off the file(s) called system.ext4.img or something to the extent of that, it should be SOMEWHERE on your external sd card, TWRP stores it in the TWRP folder somewhere, CWM stores them in some clockworkmod folder somewhere I believe.
I need all the system image files from the backup, it'll be huge an upwards of 2-3GB, and it might split them into multiple files, so there might be more than one system file in that backup folder. I need them all, zip them up again and upload them somewhere and send the link to me please.
Thanks!
Also, if someone has the update file, that'd by slightly helpful as well, but the other two are more important.
OTA file name is:
8069446ccb676c347a698e64b2df33882547f017.USER_L720 _SPT_MK2_CSB_user_RP_to_NAE_CSB_user_RP_Update_FWD .zip

The commands to type were in the OP.
adb shell
su

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/mdm of=/data/local/tmp/mdm.bin

Do I just type the whole thing at once? I tried doing just the apnhlos.bin and got this message.

You hit enter after each line. In this exact order:
Type adb shell Then hit enter.
Type su Then hit enter.
Type dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/apnhlos of=/data/local/tmp/apnhlos.bin Then hit enter.
Type dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/mdm of=/data/local/tmp/mdm.bin Then hit enter.
Type exit Then hit enter.
Type adb pull /data/local/tmp/apnhlos.bin Then hit enter.
Type adb pull /data/local/tmp/mdm.bin Then hit enter.
After which, you'll follow the rest of the instructions in the OP.

Do youreself a favor and search the adb howto in the Thrill general section. It will tell you how to make an adb shortcut. Save you some headaches.
Also after you adb shell you can no longer use the adb command until you 'exit' the shell. Trying to do so will result in adb not found.

Adb commands are run from the computer. When you type adb shell all commands from that point on are from the phone, so you can no longer use the adb command when in shell. Typing 'exit' will exit the shell and return you to being able to use adb commands.

As already mentioned, you can do it using ROM Manager. Otherwise, flash IMG file via cmd line, either from a PC:
Code:
adb push XXX.img /data/local/
adb shell "su -c 'dd if=/data/local/XXX.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7'"
adb shell rm /data/local/XXX.img
...or in terminal on the phone itself under su, once you copy the file somewhere on an SD card:
Code:
dd if=/path_to_file/XXX.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
Just replace "path_to_file" and "XXX" with the actual path and filename.

You need to use the push command
Put a rom in your adb folder if you know where it is
Hold shift and right click on your adb folder and click open terminal/command window here
Put your phone into recovery
Command: adb devices
If your device appears then;
Command: adb push name_of_your_rom.zip /sdcard/
After a few minutes the rom should be on your sdcard.
If your device doesn't appear with adb devices then there's a problem with your adb files
