Tons of space 22gb's i think

I used e4gtauto-sfx.exe [Lite / Full] off this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728&highlight=fh13

I'm using AGAT_recovery tREC_v0.2.1

I believe this is clockworkmod lol

edit: I just did backup, maybe i'll try backup to internal sd card now.

edit: that was it, sorry, not sure why it wouldn't back up to a 22gb free ext sd card but internal 12gb worked.

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

I have a couple of questions after reading through this FAQ:

1. It does not appear that the INTERNAL sdcard (8GB on the Epic 4G Touch) is one of the areas that gets backed up with the backup function. How do people deal with this if/when they want to juggle between two ROMs (dialy driver + test ROM). Specifically I'm referring to programs installed to the internal and external SD cards. I'm currently running stock rooted but would like to set up one of the custom ROMs without losing my dialy driver. I know Titanium backup or similar can back up my programs and their data but setting up things like email, WiFi spots, etc. still takes a lot of time.

2. Step 6 under Flashing a custom ROM states "Yes – Delete all user data". I thought this is where we could potentially brick a SG4T due to some memory bug. What versions/recovery can accomplish this without the risk?

3. Is it possible to rename the backup files to something more descriptive then just the date/time? I think I tried this once but then received a md5 checksum error when I tried the restore and it wouldn't let me continue.

I recently starting using a S II, and one thing that I have notice is that when I update to a certain ROM CWM changes depending on the rom. I'm coming from the evo 4g that no matter what ROM i used it never changed unless I manually updated CWM. Is their a way to prevent that from happening with the S 2?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garibaldi3489:
Revert from CWM to stock recovery?

Is it possible to revert from CWM to the stock recovery on the e4gt (thus along with a stock ROM/kernel/modem bringing the device back to 100% stock)? If so, what are the steps to restore the stock recovery? Do I need to take a backup of it before flashing CWM?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
I'm judging by your questions that you're considering rooting and asking if there's a way back?

The answers to your questions are yes.

The easiest way to go back pure stock, imo, is

1. using ek02 one click

2. Factory reset phone

3. and either letting the ota process take you to the latest official update, or using Kies.

You can also use tools to unroot and can find all the stock kernels in the dev section. (Kernels and recoveries are all in one with this phone)

I would recommend that, at a minimum, using Kies to backup your phone prior to any changes.

I'm assuming with this following statement - Its good your reading the stickies, if you're just getting started, and read all of them.

restoring

Hello, if I wipe the system (and data), will restoring my backup restore those as well?

In fact, after restoring my phone is stuck at the boot animation. So I was thinking to do a factory reset, or wipe system or something. Any tips?

EDIT: problem solved, I had to wipe system and data as well before restoring my backup.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] droid_clone123:
This might be a noobish question.

I was previously using Jellytime with my HTC Desire HD. While using this rom I decided to reboot into Recovery, and perform a backup.

I am now using Jelly MIUI, and i have a question. I've sucessfully flashed this new rom (after doing the full wipe etc). But now I want to know, what will happen if I perform a full restore using the backup I created while I was on the other ROM (Jellytime)?

Will this cause issues and restore my phone back to Jellytime, or will it just restore my previous settings, apps, etc?

The end goal here is to figure out how I can restore my previous data, apps, settings, contacts etc without reverting back to Jellytime. I want to keep my current rom Jelly MIUI.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
First things first - You do know you posted in the E4GT section of the forums right?

If you're asking if you can restore from one device to another, No.

If you're on one device and you'd like to carry over data, apps, etc - Use Titanium Backup, or your device specific backup software (like Kies for sammy phones), etc.

rom ve clockwork mod

my phone is neoi 588 and clockworkmod has broken. before that I cannot setup ROM. can you help me?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DebanjanSahu:
Nicely done mate! :good:

But how do I remove clockworkmod? any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Is your device the Xperia Neo? If so, you should head to that device section for guidance. I don't know what you mean with CWM being "broken" and if you're looking to flash a ROM for your device, you'll need the guidance of that author and for your device.

If you want to remove the CWM recovery, you'll need to flash the stock kernel/recovery that would be proper for the build you're running. Keep in mind that with the E4GT, kernel and recovery are together.

Without knowing what your device current build is, I can't recommend which stock kernel you should flash..

Format Boot Partition

Hi

Excellent Guide [MENTION=2455860]VeNuM[/MENTION] Thank you

I read in your Guide if i format boot partition and just reboot certainly I will brick the phone. For Motorola phones that have bootloader locked, in this case is the FLASH MODE preserved ? If yes, the solution is to reflash a stock SBF with RSD Lite simply, isn't it ? This no happened with me, this is a theoretical question only.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DonMigs85:
Question, what does format /data do? Are we supposed to ignore that before flashing a ROM?

Only format /system should be done?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Short answer - formats the data partition. Wiping will delete the data in the partition versus Formatting which would be rewriting the data partition.

You'll find suggestions to do both, or one or the other, but to eliminate potential headaches, I Format.

I don't know why you'd completely ignore it (Yes, "dirty" flashing is done) but as I said, I format.

As a general rule - follow the OP of the Rom and the creator's suggestions..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sam.i.r:
Hey...First of all....I am going to make sure...I save that entire tutorial somewhere....because its totally cool and helped me understand quite a lot o things....Great Tutorial Indeed....

Here is my NOOBY question...;)

It said

2. Connect your phone to your computer via USB and mount its storage card.

So, just wanted to know what exactly does "mount its storage card." mean???mount where? And how is it done?

Thanks....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
While I can't speak for [MENTION=2455860]VeNuM[/MENTION] since this is his tut, I can only guess at that - So here's my thought -

When he placed this tutorial, his was trying to be universal and with that thought; "mount its storage card" simply means to make sure that you can see the storage in Linux or Windows so you can transfer the Rom to the storage location. Windows should be automatic. Most Linux builds would recognize it as well upon connection. You could also "mount" from ADB shell.. Several ways to interpret that statement.

/tldr - Means to make sure you can see your storage to place your Rom before flashing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grammatonfeather:
None of the guides/tutorials explain wiping properly

So the phone is rooted, the rom I want to flash has been copied to the phone. I boot into clockworkmod recovery...

I'm then expected to factory reset/wipe...

No one really explains on any guide the effect this will have. If I do a factory wipe/reset... what happens to the rom I want to install?

All the internet guides say backup rom to SD card... copy new rom.zip to SD card.... Which SD card? The internal SD card or an external SD card?

It should be so obvious that a beginner needs to know what exactly is wiped by a factory reset and if the new rom.zip will be there after the wipe/reset!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
It doesn't matter which sd card, either will suffice. The reason you make a backup is because once you wipe everything that ROM is gone. You wipe before you flash the ROM, otherwise you won't have anything to boot into.

So...

1) make a backup

2) factory reset, wipe system, wipe preload (if present)

3) flash ROM

4) flash GApps (if using AOSP)

5) Reboot

I was wondering if someone could answer this for me, I'm still new to this flashing scene.

Or will restoring this backup bring me back how my phone was before i installed the rom?

It will bring you back to the exact state the phone was in when you made the backup, kinda like a Restore Point on Windows
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cellphoner2006:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox back up apps, then you restore them after boot... Or just download them from the Play Store. For texts you'll have to find an app that does that. I have added it natively on this device with SecMMSmod.

That's probably because there isn't root, the more popular and accessible a phone is the more you'll be able to find. It's always a good idea to look at the forums and see how much Dev support there is before purchasing a device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Arwen90:
Hello, I'm a total noob in all this, and I just wanted to verify if what I have in mind is correct..! (I'm not even sure if that's the right thread for that so forgive me!)

The process goes like this:

1. Unlock bootloader (I've read this isn't always necessary, depends on the root process/ device?)

2. Root

3. CWM Recovery

4. Install ROM

5. Install kernel (is this necessary or is it supposed to be inlcuded in the ROM?)

done.

I'd be grateful if anyone could reply in simple terms because I'm still reading around about all these!

Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Kernels are generally included in the ROM unless otherwise specified. Other than that you have the right prefer to the process. The next step is to find the root method for your device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Arwen90:
Is it necessary to unlock the bootloader? I read in some Root processes that it works with both locked and unlocked bootloader devices...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
It is to flash a ROM/Mod/Theme or make a nandroid backup, but you may not need an unlocked bootloader to obtain root access.

Excellent tutorial! A noobiah question though.. And my apologies if i wasnt able to read this in case it was already answered.. Most roms now come in rar format and my recovery tool cant read it. What can i do in this case? Unfortunately i cant find a zip format of what i needed. I tried to extract and create a zip but i get an error when installing the rom and im not sure if it was just defective or if the error was on creating a zip file from the rar. I hope this post makes sense and thanks in advance

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
CZ - Since this is an infuse forum, I'll note the following:

1st tool - explicitly states it is for the SGS2 and SGS2S. The devices to be wiped are completely different than those on the infuse. This tool may do no harm, but other than the sdcard wipes, it's not going to do anything useful on the infuse (the script references mmcblk[0p24,0p25,0p26] for system, data, and cache ---- infuse has stl9, mmcblk0p2, and stl11 for those file systems)

2nd tool - the 2nd script in the OP looks like it will work for infuse, but the multiupload link is dead. I've sent a PM to the OP to see if he can provide a working link.

As bigjoe mentions, qkster has put together a simple wipe script that achieves the stated objective of eliminating the need to manually navigate CWM to wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik. Is it a 100% wipe? Not yet :) but it performs as advertised (result below shows all files gone after running the wipe scripts):

~ # ls /system

ls /system

~ # ls /cache

ls /cache

~ # ls /data

ls /data

~ # ls /dbdata

ls /dbdata

Might not be too bad an idea :p

Though yes I agree. It would be easy enough for them to make one just has to be financially sound.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Andreas527:
Can be totally wrong now.

Prime Needs 11+ volt to charge in normal speed.

A Phone or the standard chargers with a usb port that you can find anywhere usually output 5V.

People swap charger back and forth between their phones or other devices that have USB connection on the charger.

If Asus release a charger for Prime that Output 11+ volt I don't think it would be to good if people plugged there phones that only need 5V.

And I pretty sure that people will try to use it and don't look at the specifications of the charger and the specifications of their device. They will just plugg it in expect it to work. And after their phone broke they will blame Asus for release a charger that don't work with other devices.

And if Asus release a charger that don't have a removable cable and that only fits Prime. Folks will be made about that to.

Just some late night thoughts.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jonathanp:
Shouldn't be a problem, the prime charger and usb cable are designed so that it wont cause issues with other devices. If you look carefully at the charger and/or usb cable you can see 9 contacts rather than 4. If you plug a standard usb cable in to the prime charger it will only make a connection with the 4 contacts not all 9.

Car adaptor can be made the same way so it will provide 5 volts on a standard cable using the 4 contacts and 11 volts when all 9 contacts are in use.
