[Request] Stock(5.5.959) virgin system.img needed

We are trying to solve how to make our own fastboot system.img files from dd the system partition on a phone. If we can get a stock, 5.5.959, system.img that has never been mounted read/write, then we should be able to compare it to a fastboot system.img and figure out the exact difference. We already have a start of an idea, but it has to be perfect.
By virgin, no OTA patches, and no mounting read/write. You do have to root the phone, but on the temporary root. Put busybox in /data/tmp or somewhere. Next chmod 755 /data/tmp/busybox . Then do something like /data/tmp/busybox dd if=/dev/block/system of=/data/tmp/system.img . Finally copy /data/tmp/system.img off the phone and post it in this thread, please.
Busybox

We already have this file.
You have had it for days, in fact. You converted it to system.tar.gz for me.

Satisfies all of your requirements -- 5.5.959 (not OTA!), Verizon, temp ADB root, never mounting /system, dd with those arguments.

Is there anyways to get my hands on this? My phone is purely in fastboot mode only and have no other real options to me, so if i could somehow flash this via fastboot, it may actually solve my issue.
(I cant even get into recovery)

I tried a fastboot flash of this system.img and it gave me a crc check failure.

You can't flash it, it's not signed. It's only useful for development.

Thanks very much!

No worries about finding a system.img that hasn't ever been mounted . . . we now have "Like a Virgin" images for repeated re-mounting and her pleasure.

Location please?

Double post, and none of them in the right section..
This has nothing to do with development, right?
Ok, no one is gonna give you a copy of their /EFS partition.
If you wonder why you can read here.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

We just need a legit fully working modemfs.img and flash it via dd command.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/modemfs.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12

Thanks Man... I thought Code That Can Only File Extract. IMG, I Think It Can not Extract File. BIN...I Want To Try It.
Btw What is Your opinion about Post Me The Last To Threads http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151288 :victory:

When you flash modem.bin file the image will be extracted to your /modemfs partition.

I have the same problem, I have flashed a working modemfs, but I it still does not work, I think that I also need an EFS file

thanks ! I have flashed the modem_fs from someone else, but I did not have the efs too, so it did not work. Now I don't have the phone, I sent my phone to a service company, they told me that there are 50% chances they can repair it and i takes 2-3 days. And in case they can repair it, it will cost me $40
I will save your files to try them in case they cannot repair it.

if you have the exactly the same problem you will help further the things that I've already posted here, for me it worked. I've also just thought it needed a new cell phone yesterday folded
my cell phone was dead until yesterday

First, sorry for my English.
Someone would have these files:
dd if =/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/efs.img
dd if =/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/modemfs.img
for samasung I8190L??
thank you very much

HOW to back up EFS here in S5830

hi guys i am looking here for thread that will give tutorial on how are we going to back up the said EFS which is the very important file of the phone where IMEI resides, suddenly after searching for so many days still haven't found an answer. I already tried using EFS Pro 1.9.2 and it prompts that the said directory isn't there.. i checked it out on the root of my phone and found that EFS folder isn't there.. now my question is there any apps or tool that will backup our efs so that if incase we accidentally mess with our phone, it will be easy for us to revert back to the time when the phone is functioning well..

The EFS Partition is "stl5" .
So , for mounting the partition at boot , You need to unpack your boot.img, Open init.rc and add the following lines:
mkdir /efs
mount /dev/block/stl5 /efs
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then You have to repack the boot.img
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are done with the mounting part. |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now , Flash the boot.img
Reboot Your phone
Connect it to your PC (Note : ADB must be enabled)
Run adb pull /efs command
................................
There might be a way using the "*#7284#" code . It creates a service com port on PC. (Stock Roms Only)

Its a TWRP backup. I have flashed the system partition and it works as normal on the GWR so no issues there. Perhaps you could do that and then pull the system image if thats how it works. It works fine with GWR boot.img. Just wont with Urbane boot.

Urbane boot containing urbane kernel so a no go there, you flashed the system.ext4.win image?
Only thing I didn't like about this dump was that root was already applied.. I'm a clean freak lol ?

Yeah mate, flashed it and it booted up fine. Had to factory reset to get things lined up properly tho.

Sorted guys.. I dont have the Urbane, doing a port for the R.
For a 1:1 copy of any partition use the dd command in recovery.
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/system.img
"if=" is in file
"of=" is out file
then adb pull /sdcard/system.img

Flashing the modem in the wrong place:

Dear users, please be carefull with this kind of commands...
