Dear User,

Unfortunately we can only save the userdata in encrypted format, don't have a solution to do it otherwise.

Best Regards,

Yes - i need just phisical dump of userdata partition... not more ( You know - everyone customers wants more and more ... ) . By the way i can't get it via JTAG ( after 12 seconds of try to connect it - you see it in JTAG log) :
Code:
Source: EasyJtag Port [EMMC/SD/MMC]
Generation: PIT [SAMS]
Box Voltage set to: 1800 mV
Scanner Thread Created..

Config: 1011111111101111
Setup HiPower CLK: OFF
Disable HS Timing: TRUE
Connecting To EasyJtag Plus Box: 1800mV/6MHz/1BIT
EasyJtag Plus Box Found! Result: 0/OK
 CMD Pullup Level: 1785 mV
 CMD Active Level: 1853 mV
EasyJtag Plus S/N: 679BFF1EBD3***A5
EasyJtag Plus Box FirmWare: 2.53

Box Bus Width = 1 BIT
Box Hardware  = EasyJtag 2nd Generation

Search EMMC Chip...

EMMC NOT Found! Error: -3/R_DATA_TOUT_ERR

Scanner Thread Terminated
Elapsed: 00:00:12:241
Found 0 Partition(s)..

Search Partitions Fail..
Check EMMC or Run Pool Test..

So ... hope Chimera will help me about, but if make a Firmware backup - there no userarea is included ( you make it well, for sure, as is now - there no sense to get Userarea in case of FW readout, i know, and prevents of stupid mistakes from your customers ), but will add value for repairers like me if R/W option for separate partitions can be opened ( after hidden key combination for example ) ...

Dear User,

We are always keen on ways to make our product more desirable, but currently backing up userdata is outside of our focus.
Thank you for your input and for letting us know about the requests of many repairers like you.

Best Regards,
ChimeraTeam
