extract/work with partitions inside full eMMC chip dump (EFI-Qualcomm) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a dd-like dump from the emmc flash chip of a dead LG G3.
This is how it looked in Windows device manager when the chip was connected to the MMC reader:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How can I get the individual partitions out of that file so that I can further work with that data? Eventually down to the file level. Mounting the individual partitions should be no problem (?) once I get to them.
But so far I am running into lots of problems and all tools and methods described seem to be for somewhat older devices that does not work with EFI structures. Mounting the whole file under Linux with losetup and as loop only throws errors or empty stuff.
My dump file starts with
Code:
EFI PART....\...~Bƒ4............
And that's where I believe the problem lies. The farthest so far I did get with testdisk - it recognizes some partitions and can even get to the files. But it does not, for example, recognize the partitions' names (aboot, boot...) even though the names are right in the beginning of the dump file.
Isn't there an image manager or something to deal with this stuff, prefer Windows and GUI for that?

[Q] [MT6577] Can't partition unsafe device /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

Hey guys..
I have been using Noir A8 which is another MT6577 device. I have been going through different ROMs (4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.2.2) but never had any problem migrating between them.
Few days ago, the phone (Android 4.2.2) just hung up and upon restarting, it just stuck at company logo!
I first thought that ROM might have got corrupted, so flashed 4.0.4 with CWMR, but that didn't work out. Still that same logo.
I tried formatting internal storage partition which I read at XDA, but when I tried to push files in /sbin/, it said READ ONLY FILESYSTEM!
Even remounting system as RW from adb shell is not working.
When checked the log CWMR, it said:
Can't partition unsafe device /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
and can't mount external_sd
Flashing ROM from SP-TOOLS is also not working as mobile is always getting stuck at same logo screen whatever I do.
It seems that I can't flash ROM or push files because system has become read-only!
Any help from Android DEVs will be extremely helpful.
I am an iOS dev and have got some knowledge of Android but this has made me crazy as HELL!

Accordingly to this OTHER tuturial i wil be needing of the following files:
“Partition Information Table (PIT)” file - to REPAIR the Device’s “Storage” (eMMC)
“Bootloader”. file- to FLASH all the Device’s “Firmware”.

I already have the PDA file (G910SKSUENG5_G910SSKTENG5_G910SKSUANG2_HOME.tar.md5) , but i need the PIT , BOOTLOADER, PHONE files also (This cellphone is not commun, therefore im unable to find them).

I also tried mortscript but cant use it due to active sync on windows 10
Hi all, I have a car GPS device, NAVIX NVX 9609 DHD model. The device has Chinese Windows CE 6.0 installed. I found that EasyConnected.exe can support the phone screen through usb connection. Even though I installed it with 'EasyConnected install.exe' on the micro sd card I formatted in fat32 format, it does not work and it does not give any warning. There is a line like '<autoconnect autocon = "2" />' in the xml file cfg in the folder EasyConnected, do I need to change anything? If any idea on this matter helps you please.
Best regards

Help recovering data from HTC One M9

Hi,
I have a "HTC One M9" that had the main PCB damaged to the extent of being non repairable.
So, i desoldered the eMMC Nand & found the pinout's for the FBGA package, which i then adapted to an SD Card and managed to successfully dump the Nand using "DD" in Linux.
I then extracted the "data" partition as userdata.img using Testdisk (Around 24gb Size)
When i open the .img with a tool like "Linux Disk Reader" i can see all the folders with valid names but there is no data to be extracted (See attached screen capture).

I mainly need to recover the photo's on it in the "DCIM" Folder...
Is it possible that there is some sort of encryption going on, or is it more likely corrupted ???
Any advice would be greatly appreciated !
Cheers
Anyone ???
:fingers-crossed:
Look at "media" folder

Yes, that would be the obvious thing to do...
Unfortunately if you were to actually read my post, there are no files in ANY of the folders.
Which is why i posted for advice here.

jailbreaking sato1004 android scope; where do i go from here?

Hi,
i've been looking into jailbreaking the micsig sato 1004 scope, which runs android 11 on some aarch64 rockchip SoC as far as i can tell so far. Both developer mode and installation of third party apps is blocked.
I found out how to get into upgrade mode, which exposes the device through usb for use with the rkdeveloptool:
GitHub - rockchip-linux/rkdeveloptool
Contribute to rockchip-linux/rkdeveloptool development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
This allowed me to download the full storage image, which looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(ignore the unallocated 436gb at the end, i flashed the image to an ssd for easier access)
Sifting through the boot partition in an hex editor, i noticed that the default serial interface should be active.
My goal is to root the device and enable the installation of third party apps.
I was wondering what would be the smartest choice to do from here on? I was thinking opening it up and hooking up the serial port - but i would very much like not to open it up just yet, if any of you has a better suggestion.
