You could do that. It would probably be easier to just reflash the ROM and then restore apps from Titanium to ensure that all app data is up to date between ROMs.

CWM's Nandroid backs up everything. /system, /data, /cache, etc.

On the cwm backup I'm getting a "No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage" and "No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext." These are both normal and fine correct?

Also, when you go to restore the backups, do you go through the same process of like installing a rom everytime? (Wipe data, cache, dalvik)?

Edit: Ok, forget the first question, it was an easy lookup, just was in the process so I was hoping for a quick answer to keep going. Still curious about the second question though.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stab244:
It's probably suggested to do so. I just SuperWipe and restore now. You probably should wipe that stuff though so data from the previous ROM doesn't interfere with the one you are restoring.

Actually when you restore from a NANDroid backup it seems to wipe everything from what I've seen, never needed to wipe before restoring and never had a problem. Plus I don't like superwipe wiping my internal SD card.

Just casted my vote. we are 4th highest right now in votes.

My roms I use is Xquizit v3.5 current rom. Couple lockups in 3 days use.

Peach Sunrise 1.2a never crashed in 2 weeks time.

Stock rom rooted by peach sunrise developer.

Installs are a cinch just backup for safty sake on external card.

Apologies for the noob question, guys, but I keep getting the following when I run CWM (5.5.0.4).

How do I fix?

I've previously ignored this and have been able to flash each version of Peach Sunrise successfully as they came out. But my nandroid backups are hit and miss - sometimes it backs up successfully, sometimes it fails. Not sure if they're connected to these errors.

Thanks in advance for your help, all!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Those errors can be ignored. Do try the new version.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lolitsjae:
Hey jocala, I have a question to ask. I was on the cm9 kang ROM (the first release) and I odin flashed from it so I could go back to other ROMs, but now I'm somehow stuck in a boot loop between the flashing samsung text and the green android (soaring animation)...I've tried reflashing with odin, but same problems are occuring. Can you stab a guess at what I might be doing wrong? I've switched to other ROMs before from cm9..except those times, I didn't install that reloaded ICS skin mod..do you think that could be the cause of this dilemma?

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
Just as a guess, Odin does not clear your /data partition. Perhaps a conflict between CM9 /data and stock ROM? See if you can get to recovery to wipe.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lolitsjae:
see the thing is, the recovery is back to stock of the phone..so no more cwm, is there any way to get to recovery? I'm so worried..

if possible, could we chat on your irc channel please? ..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] afwolfpacked:
gonna look for 3.9

Would love to test XquiziT 3.9 si I will hunt for the download to install tonight.

As for the log problems. never had them but I always do clean installs and do nandroud backups in case. never needed them as well. I would reflash peach but prior to that do a clear of cache and davlik after flash wipe davlik again. in my opinion it is most stable rom out there. not flashy but really reliable.

many thanks goes out to developer on peach.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stab244:
You should be able to install CWM through Odin or take the ZIP of it and flash it through stock recovery.

Just got this PM from camcory:

Please post here what you tried and what the output was in ubuntu, and I'll work with you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] camcory:
Ok I placed get_images.sh in folder named images. Extracted dev/block/mmcblk0p5 and placed in folder. Then from terminal cd to folder and ./get_images mmcblk0p5. States

dd:writing 'standard output': no space left on device

1+0 records in

0+0 records out

0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.012 s, 0.0kB/s

Screen shot below, Thanks for checking it out. This is on Win 7 cygwin gave the same error on Ubuntu.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Wildchld:
Open up images.sh and see where its trying to write the file to.

Maybe its full or not enough space for the file
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jocala:
I missed s0und's thread about this. Pretty damn cool :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] s0unds:
Hi!

That error means dd couldn't write, yup. But not the error it says (no space left on device). It probably means the pipe (| symbol) had a dead command on the other end.

Here is the code that tries to run dd:

get_565 "$1" 0x12fb0 150 30 1 cause || exit 1

The || exit 1 is to exit the script if any error happens.

get_565 runs dd inside an if-then to detect any problems running dd (for example, file not found etc.)

Then get_565 pipes the data to ffmpeg_raw which tries to convert a raw image (in RGB 565 format) into a .bmp file.

I was pretty careful to write it so the errors would be displayed correctly. So there's a problem running ffmpeg but the lack of usable error information is really a surprise. Additionally, if dd fails it should stop the script (the first failure) and not spit them all out like that.

I admit I never tried it on cygwin, so I do appreciate the chance to get some idea of what I should watch out for on cygwin.

But could you copy and paste the output in ubuntu? Cygwin might have bash-script problems but ubuntu shouldn't even break a sweat. I wonder then why it gave you an error on ubuntu?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] camcory:
Ill get on Ubuntu later tonight and get the exact error now that I look back I think it was just Failure to write several times. I post a screen shot later. Thanks for all the help. :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] camcory:
Ok so just to be sure I reinstalled Ubuntu and updated. Ran ./get_images mmcblk0p5 and same error.

Click here and download the CWM 5.5.0.4 zip file you'll see linked.

Copy it to your internal (non-removable) sdcard.

Boot into Samsung recovery mode. Press & hold Vol-Up, then press & hold Power. Shortly after the plain white Samsung logo appears, release both buttons. Recovery should start after the color Samsung/T-Mobile Exhibit logo.

Once in Recovery, select "apply update" (approximate wording) and select the cwm5504.zip file. This will install CWM.

Samsung Recovery can be tricky to start. You may have to try more than once.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] camcory:
Figured it out again something silly on my part. Did not have ffmpeg installed.:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] s0unds:
Ok, Ubuntu's dd breaks when I run one dd piped into another dd. (They both get a SIGPIPE and croak instead of being graceful about it.)

I've attached another version of the script that uses no pipes. Can you try this (Ubuntu and Cygwin)?

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] camcory:
Works like a charm I switched back to windows and tried it in cygwin it game me the error ffmpeg not installed so I downloaded it and had to add it to my PATH and viola it works. Thank You. Now I am wondering after pulling images and editing how do I push them back in?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] s0unds:
That's the million-dollar question. Screwing up mmcblk0p5 will break odin, so you have only JTAG recovery.

For most people JTAG recovery means boxing up the phone and sending it to a service center, so you're without your cell phone for weeks.

I do have the tools to access my phones via JTAG, but JTAG access is not the same as knowing how to write to the flash... :) If enough people needed me to develop a JTAG solution I might spend the time.

tl;dr it's very risky

Are the following apps

-com.logmein.rescue

-com.logmein.rescuesecurity

safe to remove?

These apps are used to allow Customer Service to remote control the device for troubleshooting purposes. See the T-Mobile TechAssist option in the My Device app. Any type of remote access application opens a risk of user privacy. With all of the buzz about this Carrier IQ rootkit I don't want to take any chances. Under no condition would I want any customer service accessing something like my personal computer or phone. I think remote access crosses the line of user privacy.

I'm using the Titanium Backup free version and the choices are to uninstall or delete. What's the difference and which should I be using? What's the advantage of freezing them? Does it still free up the memory used by the app? I'm not opposed to a nominal investment for something that's really better. All I have removed so far are things like pay streaming video and music.

I did track down the scrip and the remove.txt file. Looking in it I see things I'd like to keep (KIES Air for one). I know I can edit it, but for now I'll just look at the items on the list and see which ones to kill.

You have been a great help, and it's appreciated.

Do you know whether simply deleting the T-Mobile tethering app and replacing it with another hotspot app will get me the ability to use connect my wireless tablet to work with my data plan? That's one of the two reasons I decided to root. Is it really that simple?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
You have to remove the stock TetheringManager2.apk in order to actually tether for "free". If you do not remove it you will be redirected when tethered to a TMO webpage giving you the option to purchase the $70/mth plan where tethering is included. Keep in mind that the "free" or "after market" tethering still deducts from your monthly quota.

A good free wireless tether app is Wireless Tether for Root Users. You can download it HERE.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jvnat:
I think freezing the app stops it from loading at all, but doesn't uninstall it. You can get AnTek App Manager from the market and it can freeze apps. It's free with ad supported.

Freezing will have the same effect as removing the tethering apk, right?

First off modifying your devices framework is very dangerous! Just a heads-up before you continue modding.

You need to Google Metamorph and read up on it real good. Metamorph is an app which will allow you to modify the gui of your device in anyway that you want.

If you want an answer to what happened to root access and su it seems the such binaries are in place there's just no super user app to elevate the root permissions (allow/deny) by default the chainsdd super user app is left out of miui roms because miui has its own permissions control app but it must be broken for some reason.

Root should work once you download super user app from the Google market.
