Saving a system image ...

This is kinda timely since it depends upon a system update. It also requires adb.

When prompted to update, click "update later".
From your command prompt, type "adb pull /cache/recovery".
You will now have a file called "command" and another called "update.signed.zip".

If you want to prevent it from updating when you turn the Vox on next time, do the following before turning it off:
Type "adb shell" at the "#" type "rm /cache/recovery/*".

Is it possible to pre-root the image by adding su to /system/xbin, busybox to /system/xbin and superuser.apk to /system/app ? Or would that break the signature and it wouldn't be a valid update anymore?

I attempted to make a couple of minor modifications (added an empty file to the /system image) and received a "System update error: Package Corrupted". Do you know if the system creates more detailed logs of errors? If it is a signing error, is it possible to self-sign images?
