[LG Thrill 4G] iamsoawesome:
Well,

I'm pretty sure my battery life is based on like, a werewolf-system where my battery is amazing at the middle of a Month, and terrible on the full moon. Minus the killing, maiming, and wolfbane. Also, I'm pretty sure my Thrill has never become human through the true love of a young, beautiful woman. But I digress, my battery life sucks balls (basketballs to be specific). After installing the nightly builds, my phone was awesome because of having cyanogenmod. But today, going from 5:45 am to 9 am, using my phone as usual (Constantly playing music, thirty minutes web use, low brightness), it died faster than a backup character in the "walking dead".I could usually expect to have around 60-70% battery at then, but today it was 30% at that time, and died by two. Did I mess up on the Rom, any other schtuff, or is it just the nature of having an experimental build? Any feedback would be freaking awesome, and anybody who responds will win my trust, love, and support for the remainder of their life.

Thanks!!! You guys are freakin great!!
[LG Thrill 4G] kurrptsenate:
i know with my phone, after each reboot, my phone will show a completely different percentage of battery left.

Example : My phone does the clicking glitch and shows 58% left. After a quick reboot to calm the bugs, my phone will show 35%.

My battery seems to have a mind of it's own and will have good days and bad days.
[LG Thrill 4G] life=42:
I hear you out on this one...

Just this morning I unplugged my phone, texted for about an hour, killed all running apps, set the phone down, came back to it 4 hours later and I'm at 70% battery... and I'm WATCHING it drop.

This phone needs a ROM with better battery management, I'd pay for one.

Maybe something like Neutrino for the atrix 4g (That rom was godly)
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
i had nightly 1 till like number 12 came out. nightly 1 i never noticed the battery issue. then next one i flashed i noticed it. so i think somewhere something happened... also... has any one found a workaround for the echo in calls for the person we are calling as a result of the noise canceling mic not enabled properly?

I would like create a backup (of my entire system including boot image, data and system partitions. Is there any way I can do this without the CWM. The main reason is that I could return the phone to the original state in case if I have to return for service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] backreed:
For my knowledge (and i have no knoledge! :) ) samsung accept rooted device on service (otherwise if the phone has broken screen it is not accepted)...but, if i were you, i would install cwm and make a nandroid backup of the whole system. If you want to have all of google system images(to restore original stock) you could set your sdk environment http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and download google images (bootloader, rom, radio) and put in a safe place (the SDK supply adb/fasboot which are tools that you would use to restore the google's files). that's the thread with these contents: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1366806 That's the standard (so yours) original stock files from google actually on your phone!

and also i advise you to follow these steps to save your /EFS partition (you never know) before flashing custom things, BUT IT REQUIRES ROOT: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1352371

BUT, if you don't want to install cwm, you could also see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DA001:
Thank you. If I am right, msskip's tools will install the CWM onto my phone as well. I have just come across a guide for back-up without CWM <http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420351>. I am just not quite sure if it is the same full back-up as I get for the Nandriod or CWM. Does anyone have any experience with this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] backreed:
The post you linked doens' backup /boot partition and recovery. So you can backup only /system and /data; you can obtain these EXACTLY files just downloading the google system (4.0.1 - 4.0.2 - 4.0.3) files (*.img estension) and you have the same result, plus you can get bootloader.img and recovery (evrything stock, meaning samsung galaxy nexus stock files)...these are in the post i linked and are the stock google images and these are the files that our phones has inside (also including system.img).

that' the explanation why i think that is basically useless to make a backup of /system and /data for warranty purpose, because google (or first phone users in november when the phone came out on the market) provied all .img that you need to revert (using fastboot) anytime your phone to a stock 'new'phone (which is your now, so in warranty!). Make, instead, a backup for the files and apps (apk) (usually /data) that you need if you want to try custom roms and then if you are not satisfied get back to stock...

To answer to your question, no is not the same kind of backup, you will lack /boot and recovery. ;)

adding that you can use adb to generate .img by

cat /proc/mtd

and you will have a fs table with adresses (i have no phone now so cannot provide), then using dd (assuming boot is on mtd2):

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd2 of=/sdcard/boot-stock.img bs=2048

and also use this for recovery partition...never tried for system and data partition (but could work, i'm not sure so not do that in this way, wait more knowing-knoledge people and also never tried on ics but, just ginger remembering...dont' know if it's the same in this new system)

but this process make use of

adb shell
su

the second one requires root.... :(

as of now, i dont' now any method not involving root to make these things but as i stated at first post, i don't know anything :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DA001:
Thank you. I am wondering if the image file you have provided is for yakjuux. I have come across many posts that if I get the wrong baseband, the phone will not work correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] backreed:
post, please, your baseband version which you can find on settings->phone info->basedand version in your phone; mine is 19250xxkl1 that i have recently updated from xxkk1 (the stock one)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DA001:
My Build # is ITL41F I9250 UGKL1 and the kernel is 3.0.1-ga052f63 andriod-build@apa28 #1.

Do you think you have a image of this? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] backreed:
As far is i know, you have a GSM version of Galaxy Nexus. So it's safe to grab google image of /system, /boot and for the radio grab UGKL1 radio/baseband version. To better answear it's better to know also you bootloader version (which probably is primekk15): you can view this by going on bootloader on you phone doing this:

1 setup android sdk environment (include fastboot) for your pc system (windows-linux-osx)

2 enter in the settings menu of the phone and tic the 'debug usb'

3 attach the phone to the pc and let it recognize your phone (windows-osx), for linux install udev that already are in your distrib/repo

4 (assuming you are on windows) on pc... start/run/ cmd: the the terminal open up and go in your android-sdk directory, enter and then go to platform-tools; there is adb command, run: adb reboot bootloader

this will restart your phone in the bootloader menu. There, you have all of information you need...just write here your bootloader version (to have a confirmation) to understand which versione you need to download and put in a safe place in case of warranty-need...

Then wait someone better than me that knows how to make backup of all partitions without root (without exploit i think it's difficult to grant su access on the standard ics system); if there is no such possibility, just root, install cwm and do a nandroid backup and then trasnferr on a safe place on your place and you are good to go to try modding.....

now i need sleep as here is 8 in the morning and finishing compilemy l701x kernel which weight 3,4 mb lzo compressed, fine tuning.....good nite,ehm,good mornig..mmm... good is enough :)

Would anyone with experience please provide me with inputs if:

1. there is any way to back-up without root

OR

2. the phone has to be rooted, is there any way to have a program residing in my computer iso the phone (CWM in this case).

OR

3. there is any way to remove CWM and other rooted apps before I use GNex Toolkit to relock the phone.

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leobg:
I am struggling with the same issue. Restoring the nandroid, removing su and superuser.apk and then relocking the bootloader actually brings the phone to quite factory looking mode (except for timestamps in system)

I wonder if it is possible to pull dump of system the same way it is done for boot and recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
Guys - it is pretty trivial to restore all partitions you would be modifying to factory conditions because Google provides the factory images for which you can use fastboot to restore. You don't even need to be unlocked much less rooted or have CWM installed because the Google images are official and have the correct signatures.

As for making image copies of your phones partitions this cannot be done w/o root access because these partitions are only available to root. If you are rooted you can use a utility such as dd on the phone to copy the partitions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leobg:
Google provides yakju images only. Phones here in Canada come with yakjuux which is even 4.0.1. It will be pretty obvious you have thinkered with your phone if you return it with yakju image instead the original one.

As for root - I think it might not be necesary - I was able to do nandroid backup without flashing neither recovery or root to my system by simply unlocking the boot loader and booting CWM off fastboot. I am thinking can we dd while in CWM (flash of phone still intact - except of bootloader which is not an issue since it can be relocked)

Anyone have the dd syntax handy and the partition that needs to be dumped?

system partition seems to be /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system (this is the df output after I mounted it in CWM)

Would the dd command be something like

dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system of=/sdcard/yakjuux.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
CWM provides you "root" because it has the su binaries in the ramdisk.

You can run the following when booted into CWM since CWM will mount /data:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/data/media/system.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I think that may work. The output file may be padded with extra zeros, so you may need to trim them before flashing (this is certainly the case when you dump the radio).

EDIT: I would probably use this instead (although I am not sure it will make a difference:

dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system of=/data/media/yakjuux.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leobg:
Yes, that was what I actually ended up doing since /sdcard was a sym link to /data/media. Resulting file is 654MB uncompressed. I wonder how can I easily check if content is right on a win machine.

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

Yes, I meant it's not necessary to make any changes on the filesystem to achieve it once bootloader lock is off. And by simply relocking the device after, there are zero traces of any 'hackery' being done on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
There is obviously some extra padding in there, as the file size should be closer to half that size uncompressed.

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

Not sure why so many people are worried about "traces of hackery". I can't speak from personal experience, but many Nexus One owners (if not all of who have attempted), had NO issues returning devices to HTC that were unlocked... Remember, the N1 did not have a relockable bootloader, so they obviously knew you were messing around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
You don't have to FLASH CWM to USE CWM.

ha i just had that thought of flashing my old rom myself. thanks for the second on that idea. ill do that if the file ever feels like copying.... :(
[General Questions and Answers] PersianSphinx:
oh, and i forgot: Its rare to hard brick phones by just flashing ROMs, the worse thing to get is a bootloop like you got, usually. the way to get hard bricked is to flash a bad SPL, so interupt an SPL installation or flash a ROM with SPl and install it wrong :p or Radio, or in some phones, deleting or flashing the recovery wrong and then soft bricking, boot loop for sure then :D

---------- Post added at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

if your old rom doesnt copy, no problem just install a rom that works with your SPL and kernel and radio. damn HTC, why do they make it so hard? when i wanna flash my samsung, all i need to do is go to boot loader, fire up this program called odin, and odin does everything for me! get a samsung phone next time its better :D

[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
:mad: <--- EDIT accidentally inserted this lol

If you're going to a new kernel, wipe the cache and dalvik cache. If you're going to a new version of the same ROM you're on, same thing unless stated otherwise. If you're going to a totally new ROM, wipe everything (obviously, minus your card) unless stated otherwise. If you're reflashing the same ROM you were on, you don't have to wipe unless you end up with a different kernel; then wipe cache and davlik cache.
[General Questions and Answers] PersianSphinx:
I think you may have forgot to wipe data... or bad install maybe? you said you have problems copying the file... maybe bad copy?

[General Questions and Answers] 3rdsurfer:
i knew about the dalvik and cache, but what else do i need to wipe if i am switching roms? or do i wipe everything then backup what i need?
[General Questions and Answers] PersianSphinx:
well im not 100% sure about your phone, but in the G1 forum the devs suggest a complete /system wipe... also factory reset before and after flashing is a very good idea :)
[General Questions and Answers] 3rdsurfer:
ok thanks all i'll do all that from now on.
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
If you're switching ROMs and you wanna be able to get everything back exactly like it was, use Nandroid to backup/restore. It takes a full backup of everything in your phone's memory: The ROM, the apps and their data, etc.

If you want to be able to backup and restore apps and data between different ROMs, use Titanium Backup. But be careful because in some cases restoring app data on 2 ROMs with different bases can cause the ROM to act funky.
