Have a Google Edition One? Look here before you do ANYTHING to it!

[graffixnyc]

So it has been reported that GE HTC One's are shipping. We would like to get all the paritions dumped so that we can use the images to fully convert our normal Ones into full fledged Google Edition Ones.

Before you do ANYTHING with it (before you root, before you flash a recovery etc...) Follow these directions courtesy of cschmitt Found Here This will ensure we get all the partitions

I have pasted the steps below. This will help the community out greatly!

I have a windows command script that uses adb to dump and pull every partition from a One, excluding cache (meaningless) and userdata (to large).

He would need adb and fastboot on his computer, no need for S-off, since we are only reading partitions.

Generally the process would be:

Enable USB Developer options and USB debugging on phone.
Connect phone to usb, install drivers from zip folder if prompted.
Copy SuperSU-v1.41.zip to sd card.

Reboot into bootloader. (Power off, hold power on an vol-down.)
Open command prompt into \htconedump folder.
Unlock bootloader, fastboot oem unlock should do it.

Reboot back into bootloader (via hboot menu.)

From command prompt:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img (Take note we are not flashing recovery, just booting into it so we can root. If you flash the recovery we will not be able to get the stock GE recovery pulled)

Once TWRP boots, flash SuperSU-v1.41.zip via TWRP to root device.

Reboot back into system.
Run pullmmc01-37.cmd command script from a windows command prompt.
Zip up the dump directory containing all of the mmcblk0p??.bin files.


I've packaged everything up into a zip file containing ADB, fastboot, HTC drivers, superuser.zip, TWRP image, and the pullmmc01-37.cmd command script.

htconedump.zip"

Also make sure to take note of your CID in the bootloader and also report that in this thread. You can get this by running fastboot getvar all while in the bootloader. The MID and the CID will be listed. Please make note of both.


EDIT: Got this info from the Dump thread on Android Central. Just need to confirm it's correct with someone who has the device

ro.product.name=m7_google
cid=GOOGL001
mid=PN0712000
cidlist=GOOGL001

I would totally help you out, but I'm leaving town this weekend after I go home and pick my HTC One up off my porch on Friday so nobody steals it while I'm gone! At any rate, I've posted your request in the Google Play Edition Owners group to let others know what you're looking for. There aren't many members as of yet, but good luck anyway!

Thanks! Appreciate it. I will be checking the XDA thread more often which is here Have a Google Edition One? Look here before you do ANYTHING to it! - xda-developers

Once we get all the partitions dumped we can work on a process to convert the normal One into the GE One that will get OTA's and such

FWIW --

Our device won't boot to any currently available custom recovery or boot image. (we tried, and tried, and tried).

Not sure if this is a problem with our unit, or a more general issue.

Ahh so the fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img wont work? You can only fully flash it? That could be a downer.

Jerry, do you happen to know if the recovery on the GE is the same as the normal version or is it a different version specifically for the GE? The bootloader looks like it's the same just blacked out (1.54)

If someone doesn't figure this out by Sunday, I'll take a stab at it.

We got the stock recovery and bootloader pulled! We actually got all partitions pulled but for now just released the recovery and bootloader
