[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllTernative:
Hi there,

yesterday I updated from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 with Kies.

It's the German Version XXDLID.

After the upgrade I wanted to re-root my phone. I used Odin and CF-Root 6.4.

Odin showed, that the first try was a succes. But I did gain root permissions.

So I tried it again and it worked this time. (strange?)

The installed app "CWM Manager" was able to do a backup with the recent 4.0.4. But when I open

that app with 4.1.1 it keeps saying:

"This version of CWM manager should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer.

It appears you are running a different recovery. Various features have been disabled."

Do I need to wait for a new CF-Root version or is there a fix available?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
CWM manager needs an update for Jelly Bean

But you are still able to make backup if you reboot in recovery
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
as above....it's just the app, boot into recovery and all usual options are there
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyclosporine:
yeap, CWM needs a little update for JB support.

But I've done several backups/restores since I flashed JB with no problems.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllTernative:
Ok, that's what I thought.

I really liked the CWM App, hopefully there's an update soon.

Thank you all :)

My friend have no idea to root or anything like that,the only thing i imagine was that he pressed reset button,so please,i need some help to unbrick it
[TG01 General] pitoxman:
Hello,

With the information you give us, i think that the problem come from the battery wich is to low to switch on properly the phone. Try to use an external battery charger to fill it up then try again. It should work!!

If you need some more help, don't hesitate!!
[TG01 General] 4onu:
thanks for quick reply,i thought also the same,when i connect through usb into pc,it shows that a new device into and the tg led appear red,so i suppose that it is charging...correct me if i am wrong
[TG01 General] Nokser:
You update too partition.mbn and *.hex file?

and what version, and from you download firmware?
[TG01 General] efrant:
Please post all questions in the general section. Thanks! Thread moved.
[TG01 General] pestycyd:
I had exactly the same thing, Charge battery on another phone. It solved my problem.

P.S. The trick is the phone can't charge the battery, it's restarting over and over.
[TG01 General] yaro666:
I have had the same problem, just swap batteres or charge it somewhere else - not in the phone

[Android Apps and Games] flash5000:
I would like to share with you a first test version of my new app:

FlashBackup

Features:

presents you a list to choose from your installed user apps / system apps

backup the APKs

create an AROMA-powered flashable ZIP in order to restore your apps

install Superuser or SuperSU (according to your preference) during restore

lets you chose the apps to be restored in AROMA installer

ROOT NEEDED!

Description:

This is a first test release and not yet feature-complete, only the things described above will work. It will be updated regularly.

This app is targeted at advanced users who regularly wipe and re-flash their phone and therefore need to restore their apps. As this process takes a long time using eg. TitaniumBackup, I wanted to create a flashable ZIP file of the currently installed apps, which can later be flashed using the amazing AROMA installer by Amarullz.

Please note that with this first version, it is not yet possible to backup and restore the app data, only the APKs. You can however use TitaniumBackup to restore only data (which is much faster than restoring apks too).

Currently, it is only tested with a HTC Sensation running the latest version of Bruce2728's CM10 (JellyBean). I would appreciate to get feedback about bugs etc. on other devices in order to fix them.

How-To

select your apps to be included in the backup

press 'Backup' and wait for the process to be finished (if it's the first time using the app, you need to grant root permissions)

find your ZIP ready to be flashed under /FlashBackup/flashbackup.zip on your sdcard

Current known issues:

restore / install process may fail due to incompatible updater-binary for some devices

Probably not compatible with Android 4.2 (not tested yet...)

Planned for future updates (subject to change):

include app data in backup/restore

include device-specific updater-binaries for ZIP file (will increase compatibility with specific devices)

backup apps in .android-secure too (if possible)

allow the destination of each app to be selected during install process (=> convert system to user and vice-versa)

... ?

[*] done: add compatibility for Android versions < 3.0

Devices confirmed working (by user feedback):

HTC Sensation (CM10)

HTC EVO 3D

HTC Desire HD (ICS)

HTC HD2

Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Samsung Galaxy SII

LG e400

Samsung i897 Captivate (MIUI 4.x, Android 4.1.2)

Credits:

I've currently been using App2Zip, so I'm gonna give this a try, as soon as I re-flash a Rom. :D
[Android Apps and Games] flash5000:
Looking forward to your feedback!

Please keep in mind that your app's data is not yet backed up, so restore it with Titanium afterwards! (just a hint in order not to be blamed afterwards for making you loose your data... :D )
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Had been one of the initial proponents and user of App2Zip and had used it regularly until about 2 months ago. It was then that I came across Go Backup that did almost everything I wanted.

I would really start using your app but would wait for a while since I do not use TB and hence would struggle without the data restore. Once that is in place, it would equal GO Backup. The advantage with Go Backup is that t backs up calls log, sms, mms and wifi connections in addition. GO Backup however misses out on restoring system apps and data.

Looking forward :)
[Android Apps and Games] flash5000:
I will try to implement data backup & restore as one of the next things, but it will need some testing as it's not always very easy to do it right...
[Android Apps and Games] okty2k:
There are 2 directions to consider, in my opinion:

1. Leave the idea like it is (backup user apps, no data, nothing additional) keep it simple and somehow small (I have more than 120 apps in total, so I don't really want to think on the size)

2. Try to get data backup AND system apps backup AND calls, sms, settings, etc -

My main problem are the system apps: if I am making an upgrade of Android, why should I get old system apps?!

And this option MUST allow choosing the apps to install (100% Aroma)

The idea sounds good, I will test it as soon as I will need to reinstall one of the devices. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] flash5000:
Thanks for your feedback!

At the moment, it allows to backup the APKs of user apps and system apps as well, but only the APKs.

The idea behind backing up system apk's is that I personally have some apps installed as a system app (for example Theft Aware by Avast, or SuperSU) which are not included with my ROM and therefore get lost with every update. The possibility to include them in the ZIP file and later restore them while flashing the update solves my personal problem of remembering to restore these system apps manually :D

Concerning the size:

I too have about 130 user apps, and the resulting ZIP is about 340MB in size, so about double the size of the ROM ZIP file :D , but the restore process is much faster when done by flashing in recovery compared to restoring with TitaniumBackup.

The big advantage is that coming Android phones will get a speed boost in the future (with all the quad-core monsters being unveiled by the manufacturers) and therefore ZIP creation time will decrease significantly I guess...

Any other feedback? What's working, what is not?
[Android Apps and Games] okty2k:
No other feedback for the moment. Once I test it, I will let you know. :)

But I must say I agree with your approach. By the way, as you use AROMA, I assume you can choose what to install and what not, right?
[Android Apps and Games] flash5000:
I will be pleased to hear from your experiences ;)

To quote a famous person: Yes we can! :D

That was the main goal to achieve in the first place and the reason why I started to develop my own app instead of just using App2Zip...
[Android Apps and Games] flash5000:
UPDATE:

v0.2

fix bug with SuperSU install
[Android Apps and Games] jayk32:
First off I like using Aroma Installer.:D I've used the app three times, and the first time no problems, but the last two it didn't restore all my apps. Anyway looking forward to the updates. :)

Cheers mate.
[Android Apps and Games] PhoenixPath:
Created the zip file on both b=my G-Nex and my rooted Spectrum on ICS.

As there is no working recovery yet for the Spectrum/ICS (ICS only dropped to this device 3 days ago), I am not able to test the restore. I will update you when we get recovery.

Restore worked well on the G-nex. What I would like to see:

More verbose SU options (You currently has "this su" installed, please choose an Option:)

Option to install system apps as user or user apps as system.

Range checking (check all between these two checkboxes)

So far so good. Love the AROMA installer.
[Android Apps and Games] flash5000:
Did you save the log in aroma when it didn't restore everything?

Also, if you provide me with some details (android version, phone model, apps not restored), I could look into the issue...

I'm working on Android 2.3+ support, should not be too much effort. Patience please :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Moe5508:
Haven't tried it yet but just a quick question - does the app have support for large screen sizes e.g. tablets?
[Android Apps and Games] flash5000:
I'm using it myself on a phone and a 10'' tablet.

Actually that's the main reason why the app is not yet compatible with Android 2.3, because it uses the new UI features of 3.0+ which allows to scale very easily to different display sizes...

But please run a test by yourself and report back :)

[Android Apps and Games] flash5000:
Hi,

Once the ZIP is created, it is independent from the app.

When you click the "Backup" button, the selected apps are copied and packed in a ZIP file, together with the necessary files for the AROMA installer. You can then flash this ZIP file in recovery and select the apps to be restored.

If you use the app version .31 to create the ZIP file, you get more options when flashing the ZIP (you can chose between Superuser and SuperSU to be installed), but the app restore process is the same.

Suggestions

First off I LOVE your app and think it has HUGE potential.

Here are some things I think need to improve however.....

1) There should be a way for me to cancel the install at some point if I've decided I don't want to install anything short of pulling the battery.

2) There should be a way for me to install SuperSU without installing apps....something like an "unselect all/select all" toggle checkbox would do nicely.

3) Perhaps you should consider offering the user a choice to install an app as system or user....I currently may have Novalauncher as system because it comes with my rom but want it to be a user app on the next rom I use.

Thanks again for a great app!
[Android Apps and Games] flash5000:
First of all, thank you for your positive feedback and your valuable suggestions!

for 1):

If you have started the AROMA installer, you can always press the menu button of your device and choose to cancel the installer. Is this what you want to achieve?

As I only have a HTC Sensation with hardware buttons to test with, I don't know if you're able to press a menu button if your device has soft keys - maybe you could shed some light on this in case you have such device :confused:

for 2):

I will try to add an additional step to the installer process in which you can choose to skip apps restoration.

In the meantime, you can just uncheck both options during the backup creation, so that neither system nor user apps are included. This will leave you with a ZIP only containing the superuser app options.

However if you only need a flashable ZIP to install SuperSU, then I recommend you to check the official thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

for 3):

I understand your approach (I had the same "problem" recently). However this would either mean to have each app manually selected during the install process (which would reduce the usability too much in my view) or to implement some kind of optional step in order to select the apps which should not go to their original destination and then allow for only these apps to choose the destination.

I will think about it, but it makes the AROMA script generation much more complex and therefore adds a big potential for errors...

[Android Apps and Games] flash5000:

I thought it was necessary in order to backup system apps.

I will look into it and try if it's possible to make a backup without using root.

Regarding the FC on gingerbread:

Sorry about that, I will look into it. However I don't have any GB device to test with, so it could take a while to iron out the bugs...

[Android Apps and Games] ErnuB:
Brilliant! Will try on my optimus black tomorrow, hopefully will confirm compatibility :beer:
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
Any chance of changing output name to Flashbackup with a timedate stamp so you can have multiple "backups"? If I'm testing new apps I may find I need to fall back on an older backup if the new app doesn't make the cut.

This would also allow someone to sync the flashbackup folder (when booted up via a rom obviously) using dropbox etc without overlaying the previous backup.

I tried backing out of a flash and pressed various buttons on my HD2....nothing short of letting it flash worked for me..will try it again in future. I look forward to when it backs up app data as well as I use multiple devices and like to keep the apps in sync.

You can access and read the /system folder without root, but not /data... weird
[Android Apps and Games] flash5000:
It actually makes sense, because this way you cannot read the data of other apps without root (... sandbox concept ...) which is stored under 'data/data' - but thanks for investigating!
