There is much more partitions that you can dump, than those you can flash. Later you'll need to rename files you'll dump to the same names as those in this TAR. Open firmware's TAR or TAR.md5 file of any version of THE SAME model using 7zip and look inside. Note that you'll need to root the stock-FW phone, to Dump it.įirstly we need to find out which files we need to dump and then flash: So this is a known way to dump FW anyway: I believe the latter, as even in new FW, if you dig in bootloader resources, you'll find a graphics showing green Android taunter with words "Upload mode". Or it was put there by engineers in Korea just to taunt curious hackers.
It's either just for some very special pre-release FW, or it was never implemented in the Odin software, or it was planned and never finished in phone's bootloader, because for no real usability perhaps? Or it must be activated by some special cable, or button combination presses. But I tried, as many others, with factory rooted phone, developer phone or one with unsecured test pre-release firmware version, the dump option is never available in the Odin program. We can only assume this possibility because there is a disabled option to Dump in Odin program. There could be a way to dump the phone without rooting, but no one knows how. Or put it into Gugl, usually something cames out.įlash it to target phone from PC using Odin. Now search for this version on these two sites: On the stock-FW phone, go to Settings -> About Device -> Build numberĪnd take a note of the second part of the number. How to find specific firmware version on the Internet Download the same version from the Internet and you'll end up with exactly the same system files as on other phones with the same FW version. It's somewhat possible to dump the FW, but there is usually no reason for doing so. That's why it's safer to say flash and dump.
From the phone's point of view, it's going to download stuff from PC. The confusion is in download/upload words, when you put the phone in bootloader mode it's saying "Download mode". You mean to take the Firmware (FW) out from the stock-FW phone and put it into the other one as-is? to have two identical-FW phones?
