I've got someone on XDA asking for me to zip up my /system/vendor directory with all relevant files and send it to him. He's not asking me why, only if I'm on the official Kit Kat for the RAZR HD.

 

I do not know who this guy is, and I'm a little leery of just zipping up any directory on my phone and shipping it out to an unknown individual.

 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

I don't know what's in the folder in question, but if you don't know the person, or what/why they want you zipping a folder on your phone to send them, I wouldn't bother doing so (nor would I feel bad about it). Safety and privacy/security are important to protect

That's what I felt. I was just curious as to what was in there. I looked and I couldn't tell if there was anything that would give away any account info, etc.

There's information in that directory that rom devs typically use.  However, there should already be full system dumps anyway, and no personal information that I'm aware of is stored on the system partition.
