This is a duplicate of a thread I made in TL: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=165675. I figure this is the other very likely place where I could find both Korean speakers and geeky-minded people who might want to help.
TLDR Summary: I am helping some people bring Android 2.2 to the Samsung Fascinate and we need OS files from the Galaxy K, a closely related phone only sold in Korea. See following graphic for technical information:
Background (long version):
What I need:
I need a system dump and a initramfs of a Samsung Galaxy K, which is only sold in Korea. These are the operating system files and the initramfs specifies the partition information of the phone. No one involved in this effort owns a Galaxy K or knows any Korean, so we are stuck. We need 1.) either an owner of the Galaxy K to copy these files for us or 2.) a translator who can find some Korean Android forums and ask for us.
1.If you are a Galaxy K owner and have already rooted your phone + have experience tinkering with it, it would be a piece of cake. You would not need to modify your phone at all, just copy some files from /system and some other files. PM me for more info. If you are new / not comfortable with rooting, DO NOT do anything to your phone, but you might be able to help me with 2:
2. If you know Korean then you may be able to help me out by posting around in Korean forums devoted to Android development for someone that can get us these files. I do not actually know where are the best places to ask this question but a quick Google + Babelfish gives me this starting point:

Basically I need some one to start a new topic with the following information:
I anticipate that this may not be a one stop favor, ie, there maybe back and forth and I may ask the initial translator to do more . If this happens (and the translator is willing), I will put him in touch with the lead programmer for our project
Thanks a ton!!!
