[android-developers] Re: Urgent and Alarming battery management problem. Google please do something about it.
Can't users just see what uses so much of their battery life by having a look at the settings 'Battery use' and decide what they want to do about it (like contacting a developer about it or tweaking the settings of this app)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] copy raw data from internal phone storage
Hi Android Developers, I tried to copy my wiped data from my phone, so i have to read raw data with dd command. I have root and BusyBox v1.14.2 installed, but when i type: dd if=/dev/block/mtdblock5 of=/sdcard/testfile or even just dd if=/dev/block/mtdblock5 I get: dd: /dev/block/mtdblock5: Input/output error Why can't I copy the data? Any help will be greatly appreciated! :) Thank You Unrealshade --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

[android-developers] Re: copy raw data from internal phone storage
with both dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5 and dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5ro i get dd: /dev/...etc: Invalid argument. i can worry about using the data later, i just want to copy it for now... but still can't. do you have more tips? thank you!

And you will need yaffs tools to do anything with the result as most desktop kernels can't mount a yaffs image (get yaffs out of the android git, the desktop tools are hiding in its tree). More generally you should google for the writeup someone did on Android Forensics If wipe is to be taken literally you shouldn't find anything... but maybe it shouldn't be On Aug 31, 11:04 am, Unrealshade sche...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi Android Developers, I tried to copy my wiped data from my phone, so i have to read raw data with dd command.

[android-developers] Re: DD command
nah, sorry, don't know anything about this topic... i just hope i find dd for android. if i do i will write here how i did it, of course. best luck to you! =) On Jul 26, 12:04 pm, Francesco Pace paxa...@gmail.com wrote: I don't know methods for implementing this schema.

[android-developers] Re: copy wiped/ raw data from android to sd-card (data recovery)
if i modify my android system and obtain root, is it possible to do what i want then? On Jul 1, 5:03 pm, Justin (Google Employee) j...@google.com wrote: This is not possible without modifying the Android system. Such a process would require root access in order to either change the filesystem permissions or get around them by reading them as root. Obtaining root is not possible on retail Android configurations.
