**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Mar 13 03:00:03 2018 Mar 13 18:41:48 Hello Guys, is there a way to get partition data copied back to the PC instead of flashing it there :) - I want to compare for a firmware what version it is, so I got 3 possible firmware files here, but want to save me from trying, if possible all three of them. Mar 13 19:08:01 I'm not sure if I understood the question correctly, but you can use dd to copy the partition into an image and pull it on your PC using adb pull Mar 13 19:10:57 hmm ok can be Mar 13 19:11:10 Anyway too late, I decided to start with the youngest FW set ;) Mar 13 19:25:41 Can Halium spoil my phone? I mean after installing Halium can it remove RIL(IMEI) for example? Mar 13 19:25:48 Is it safe to try? Mar 13 19:26:48 As long as you do not flash anything to other partitions than data, boot and system, it's pretty safe to try afaik Mar 13 19:27:10 @JBBgameich, like normal ROM installation? Mar 13 19:27:24 if I won't touch EFS IMEI will be safe? Mar 13 19:27:59 You need ti write to fewer partitions as in a ROM installation, as while debugging system is not even touched Mar 13 19:28:04 [Edit] You need to write to fewer partitions as in a ROM installation, as while debugging system is not even touched Mar 13 19:28:26 The system is stored on a virtual partition on /data Mar 13 19:28:54 Normally we do Dalvik,Data,System and Cache wipes in TWRP before new ROM installation. I must do the same wipes? Mar 13 19:29:25 @JBBgameich, you mean the data partition where personal user files are stored? Mar 13 19:29:39 Yes Mar 13 19:30:02 Why I am asking this because I almost completed halium compile and I won't to be sure about safety before trying it Mar 13 19:30:05 You can let data stay like it is, no need ti wipe it Mar 13 19:30:34 [Edit] You can let dalvik tay like it is, no need to wipe it Mar 13 19:30:44 [Edit] You can let dalvik stay like it is, no need to wipe it Mar 13 19:30:51 [Edit] Why I am asking this because I almost completed halium compile and I want to be sure about safety before trying it Mar 13 19:31:04 *corrected previous message Mar 13 19:32:00 Got it. At least we know that in case of emergency I can always restore from TWRP backup Mar 13 19:33:00 @JBBgameich, Thanks. I never encrypt it good to know this Mar 13 20:13:49 there is any relation between libnativehelper and libhybris ? means there is any impact ? Mar 13 20:34:43 @redshaman is it Spreadtrum device? Mar 13 20:34:46 [Edit] @redshaman is it that Spreadtrum device? Mar 13 20:35:34 if it is, it has low-level flashing tool in the worst case **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Mar 14 03:00:01 2018
