Hacking Hekate Ipl

[whobroughtben]

i made a script to convert hekate_ipl dumped eMMC partitions to RawNand.bin https://pastebin.com/vdCqxrci

Thanks much for this rajkosto! I (like others in this thread) have backed up my nand with this version of hekate, which didn't backup my USER partition it seems. Looking at your code, i see that it joins all of the nand partitions together, then looks for the USER partition and does something if the file isn't found (not sure what its doing here):

else
    for file in USER.*; do
        [ -f "$file" ] || break

--edit-- oh, i see now, you're looking for split user parts here on this else statement

Since i don't have a backup of my USER partition, the output of my hekate-RawNand.bin is only 2.6G

$ du -sh hekate-RawNand.bin
2.6G    hekate-RawNand.bin

Do i need my USER partition to get a full nand backup for restore? Does it matter if my USER backup is created after i have been running CFW?
