TO GET A FULLY STOCK ROM Question

[az_3R5]

If i was to get a new phone and get a temp shell root and flash a custom recovery and then do a back-up on it or will that even work to get fully stock rom

 

[anthonycr]

What are you trying to do?

 

[CuriousNoob]

Do you mean like the Z4Root app? Temp root, custom recovery, without actually rooting?

 

[az_3R5]

Yes but the use application superoneclick and flash recovery and back up the rom would the actually be a fully stock rom?

 

[riggerman]

It would still be a rooted stock rom. You would still have super user and busy box installed. Aside from that, yes it would be a stock rom.

 

[az_3R5]

No what i mean is only get a temporary root access Then do all that stuff after temp access

 

[CuriousNoob]

What if you root, install custom recovery, unroot, then make a back up?

 

[az_3R5]

no ur missing the point but the question i probably should be asking is if i'm able to do it the way i was saying will it have the missing files to get the optimus v to a full stock phone?

temp root won't install any files. if your ov has zv5 baseband and froyo 2.2.2 from the factory, superoneclick won't work anyway... if you have zv4 baseband, you can temp root with superoneclick but need to install a recovery to easily back up your stock /system and /data partitions, and the boot.img
you can install terminal emulator and make a backup with the cat command.
gingerbreak will root zv5 baseband ov's but it also installs files, so a backup after that would be a rooted backup, not stock.

This makes me curious:
Can't you get your SPC in CDMA workshop (trial works for this) or zero it out.
unplug your phone to reset the com port after closing the workshop then plug it back in, set the modem to com1 or com2 because adding a port on qpst didntl't seem to do the trick, go into qpst's file browser and get all the files as is?
I am pretty sure I had this phone on QPST file browser before.
Then you would never alter anything and have the file system intact right?

as far as the spc/msl, mmarz pointed out a way to find it in a qpst dump of the phone memory (no spc needed to read that part of the phone with qpst) over on xda... his thread was concerned about having found his password in plaintext in multiple places in the dump, but he mentioned how to get the spc out of that dump, which address in which file, specifically. unfortunately, it dumps fine but won't write the same information back... but it's useful to read what's in there.
I haven't gotten anything I considered useful out of the qpst browser.
it's all files that would have to be decoded, not the filesystem as the kernel reads it.
I don't think it's actually the same part of the phone internals as you can get to with the recovery.
Now that you've brought it up, I have to go see now, because maybe that has something to do with radio settings, maybe not, but I have to satisfy my curiosity. I'll report back as to whether you can back up the ROM that way.

edit: the full dump is 512MB. probably contains the ROM and even the radio and nvitems.
I can't find any way to get the dump written back into a phone though.
the efs doesn't have but a few KB accessible with every pst I tried on it.

ok cool but i'll also do the same if or when i do get a new phone
