[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Taxmaster:
Hello All,

I have a Rooted VZW GN2 running Scott's CleanROM with the Perseus kernel with TWRP as the recovery tool. I screwed up royally a few days ago and bricked my phone (dicking around with the Google Wallet mod, which failed I might add) but was able to fix it and get all my settings back the right way. Well given that it took nearly 3 days, I'd like to save a backup of everything how it is.

How do I accomplish this task? I read on xda that a lot of people use "nandroid" so I downloaded it, did the backup using the "online version" that lets you do a nandroid backup while the phone is running (not in Recovery mode) and it saved the copy to a "clockworkmod" folder. Now I know that clockwork recovery is an option besides TWRP, but since I have TWRP does it make this backup useless? Or can I do a full TWRP backup (everything selected) and will it serve the exact same purpose?

Thanks for the help everyone!!!

-Taxmaster
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DesertHawk:
OK. First i would ALWAYS backup via recovery. So go in TWRP and back it up. However you could try to restore it and if it didn't work it would say MD5 mismatch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Taxmaster:
1. Okay so are you saying that a full TWRP backup (all options selected) = nandroid backup?

2. Does this mean that restoring the back-up TWRP file would restore everything as it is now (down to the last detail) or what could I expect of a restore?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DesertHawk:
Yes. Every last detail would he saved. All save games and even draft messaging... The whole lot. I believe it is correct as they both output the same back up. However i prefer CWM :P

Good luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Taxmaster:
Thank you! Well now I'm trying to save my files to my Dropbox but Dropbox doesn't let me upload the entire folder for the Backup. If I use RootExplorer and convert it to a zip, would that be okay? Will TWRP allow a zip for restoring or would I have to do an extraction first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DesertHawk:
TWRP will make its own back up and save it in a selected folder. Are you talking about uploading the backup already made from TWRP

Also look at Orange back up. Just came in the portal. It puts Nandroids on the cloud. Talk about timing :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Taxmaster:
I'd just like to be efficient with what memory I do have at the moment. I know that TWRP saves the file in its own folder, but it's actually a large collection of files. My plan was to zip them and upload the zip file to Dropbox and delete the "on-phone" copies. Then if worst came to worst, I would just download the zip back on there via my USB cable (I could extract if it necessary) and then I'd restore it. I just want to know if that would work and whether or not TWRP would be able to use a .ZIP file or if it would need all of the files individually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DesertHawk:
No. It would need to be in the folder format... Have you looked at Orange Back Up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Taxmaster:
Link ==> http://www.xda-developers.com/android/orange-backup-sends-a-nandroid-to-the-cloud-with-one-click/

Okay, I just did some light reading on Orange Back Up but I'm unsure how it works. Does it replace TWRP / Clockwork? Does it require one or the other for reflashing it's nandroid backup? I really like TWRP's setup and would be reluctant to change from it (although I would do it if the advantages stack up).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DesertHawk:
Hmmm. If you want it simple just zip the backup and dropbox it... Then unzip when you need it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Taxmaster:
I'm confused, isn't that what I've been saying the last several posts? What I plan on doing is zipping up my TWRP files, DropBoxing them, and if I need them I'll just hardload them onto my SD card (extracted into the folder or as a zip file depending on what TWRP needs) and then I'd restore that way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DesertHawk:
Yes. I though the Orange back up would be easier. So just do it your way. It will work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Its TwiX:
Just make sure to not compress the zip. Not sure that TWRP will be able to restore a compressed backup (probably won't).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CBConsultation:
I understand you're concerned about saving as much memory as you can. This is something the rest of us face as well, but quit trying to cut corners and simply do a backup the way you're supposed to and move on with your life instead of trying to invent a shortcut. The tried and true methods used within these forums have worked for years the way they're supposed to.

Either use CWM or TWRP to make your backup. I always keep one active backup and delete older ones. It's easy and almost impossible to screw up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Taxmaster:
After I soft bricked my device, I found myself making several types of backups after reading on the forums many different ways of backing up. It appears that my efforts are superfluous and that only one backup is necessary. For this reason, I was trying to figure out the best way to store the backup files. I was zipping the file not to save space as much as I was to have only one file to export to Dropbox, as Dropbox only allows files to be imported instead of entire backup folders.

I'm really curious about the reasons for flashing a cell-phone.

Recently a lot of people are flocking to xda with clearly no basic understanding about flashing in general.

Is it the coolness factor? Is it the "control-back"-thing? Flashaholics by any change?
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
Because Samsung wont give us 4.2.1 that's why CM10.1
[Galaxy S II General] Coirpre:
Because even without any and all programing knowledge i can learn how my phone works, and follow the process of adapting a rom to a phone, and in the worst case fix it myself. Because with a custom rom, you always know what and why is not working (assuming you know how to use a search button). Because of the ∞ options (was waiting for a chance to use this symbol). Personalized quick settings. Lockscreen weather. Undervolting. Backups (TB/CWM). better keyboard when longpressing "a". SMS popups. Designs. No bloatware. And last but not least the ability to laugh at damnsung. They want me to buy a new phone because my phone is supposed to be on ics and long since outdated, and here i am, running 4.2.1...

I get laughed at when i mention my flashing and phone-nerdness in general, so not the coolnessfactor.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sweetpotat0:
Hello Explorers,

I had my explorer rooted using JaggyRom's method.

Please suggest me a custom rom for explorer A310e ICS/JB that has

1.Stable mobile internet usage.

2.usb tethering.

3.No robot voice during call.

Can i downgrade to Android 2.3 from ICS/JB if i dont feel comfort?:confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] subh98:
Cm9 build 11is the best. Also the new s3 feel is good.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sweetpotat0:
cant find cm9 build 11 any where in the forum
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] subh98:
Search. On Google or go to page 306 of unofficial cm9.1 build 9 thread by sakindia124
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] redguardsoldier:
Try MiniCM9 build#3. Very stable and battery friendly. No robot voice at all. But for usb tethering, you still need 3rd party app like other ICS/JB ROMs. For me, on emergency situation, I use the built-in wifi hotspot.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] vishuhtc:
ya cm9 build 11 is best but has some voice call issue but if u want full functionality try explode rom but it is based on GB
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] tatiraju.rishabh:
I use CyanogenMod 9.1 (CM9.1) Build #11 by ayushrox.

It is so far the most stable ROM i have flashed.

Android v4.0.4 (ICS),

1. Mobile internet is fast and stable, infact i keep it on 24x7 :D

2. I have not yet tried USB tethering, but a few users report it to be working.

3. No robotic voice while calling. Btw robotic voice can be fixed by a few restarts.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] maxy!:
Use holo sandwich 1.3 bug less rom:D:D:D
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] M_J:
CM10 beta# 3 is the best and the most stable jb rom

Mobile internet working smooth

Usb tether not tested

Voice calls perfect

[Motorola Photon 4G] atsuisofu:
So as I understand it, the Photon has drivers issues which is why we dont have a port of for instant a droid bionic version of moto ICS, or moto jellybean. I am wondering what we need to get a kernel going. If this happened this would open up the possibility for doing webtop on a non stock rom.(Which I really would love cm 10.1 with ubuntop) I have been using linux for many years and am familiar with compiling and modifying kernels and packages I am just still new with android I came from the Epic 4G. I just would like to be pointed in the right direction or maybe someone who already makes kernels has attempted this and we could work together.

Thanks for your time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
You need source from Motorola and whatever company it was that Apple bought. You can try the Compendium thread for kernel links but as of now a new kernel is highly unlikely.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
So then maybe we should look into writing our own? I mean if they can do it why can't we?
[Motorola Photon 4G] runningslow:
There's a thread over in the Atrix 4G forums where some people are working on a port from the Galaxy R kernel. You may want to follow that thread and offer your assistence there, because chances are that any progress that benefits the Atrix will benefit the Photon in the long run.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
In theory that is sound, but the Atrix has a much newer kernel version than ours from the start (not sure how that happened with our device being more recent release). If you're planning to try, make sure that you have device protection or a good number of devices to work with....they've already hard bricked one or two from what I had seen.
[Motorola Photon 4G] twaffle:
What drivers are required, and I assume you mean for a 3.x kernel?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Unless you want to rev-eng a couple of parts of the kernel to make the GalaxyR kernel exaclty compatible with the Photon, you won't be able to use the stuff. Sorry.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cornelious2:

[Motorola Photon 4G] wcherin:

[Motorola Photon 4G] wcherin:

[Motorola Photon 4G] foxsdaddy67:
after the screwing Moto gave us he might as well post it. wtf are they gonna do? lock our damn phones?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
My guess is it just never panned out and the guy didn't want to disappoint us. This was around the time of the Atrix leak, and that never amounted to anything, and a bunch of people got let down. It's my theory, which is far from concrete, that the leak included Photon files as well, that also never amounted to anything, but less was said here, so fewer people will be let down. I'm personally not worried. Come whatever may. My phone may not be able to do MMS or camcorder, or run Chrome or Swiftkey Flow, but I like it. It does the things I want it to. And it looks sexy as hell. I'd appreciate this mystery kernel or whatever, but I'm not gonna lose sleep if some mad scientist is holding out. Not saying that's what cybik is (I actually don't know much about him), just saying neither of the two extremes affect me much. And they shouldn't affect y'all either. If you're locked I'm sorry, that sucks, so is my brother, but you can run Holo Launcher/Locker and use either utter!, Maluuba, or Dragon Go! for voice commands/personal assistant, Notification Toggle for, well, the toggles, and Dolphin for your browser, and that puts you fairly close to Android 4. Motoblur can't keep a WiFi lock to save its life, but there are apps for that... I'm trying to test one on my wife's phone, but I'm not getting very good data from it. If you're unlocked, you have a lot of good choices as it is.
[Motorola Photon 4G] palmbeach05:
I may be an Atrix owner, but if the 2.6.39.4 kernel that is being dev'd for the Atrix is a success, couldn't you take the post-dev'd 2.6.39.4 kernel and port it to the Photon?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gpgalanis:
Hi. I have flashed in two UK Note 10.1 the German 4.1.1 and in both of them I have OTG usb problems. To be more spesific when I insert a usb via the official Samsumg connector eventhough the connector is always recognized I dont always enter mass storage mode. So some times it enters and some times it doesnt. Also the same happens when I insert a mouse hub. The problem is not permanent and usually after a restart it works again but it is really annoying. Have also flashed the UK rom again but the problem remains.

Anyone else having the same problem?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gpgalanis:
Hi again. To be more spesific when I open the Note the mass storage works but then after I unplug it it stops working and I need to restart the Note to work again. However when I connect the Note to pc it is always recognized. Any thoughts or suggestions? I really need your help on this.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] asustf700t:
I had this on 4.0.4 with my ps3 controller i really dont know the solution i also asked on here, i literally just waited a while (days) and it worked, its REALLY strange, make sure you have 80%+ battery
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gpgalanis:
Hi again. After flashing various official roms I used the open Europe 4.0.4 one and strangely enough the problem was solved. For me the strange thing is that both Notes that I have flashed with the 4.1.1 German rom experienced the same problem and even when I flashed back to the UK Rom the problem remained. I also flashed them in two different laptops but nothing.

Finally the open Europe one solved the problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] pwatkins:
Do you unmount thr USB devices before you remove them.? If you don't I am sure you might get this problem.

You can unmount directly from the notification pane - this may have been new in JB?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gpgalanis:
Yes I do. Still this was a strange problem for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Szadzik:
The only solution/ workaround I can think of is having the Note rooted and use UMS Watcher that lets you mount external devices manually if they do not mount automatically.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gpgalanis:
Yes this could be a solution but for now I prefer to stay stock. Anyway with the open Europe Rom it works but I will try again the German 4.0.4 to see.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Sparksltd:
I have the same problem since upgrading to the german 4.1 firmware. Most of the time I have to reboot the tablet before it will go into mass storage. I've tried mass storage watcher but it makes no difference. Mass storage watcher just shows no device connected. Would be nice for a fix.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gpgalanis:
I am glad to see that I am not the only one but also sorry fornyour problem. Try to flash the open European rom to see if the problem will be fixed. In the meantime I will flash again the German to see if the problem will appear again.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mikemod:
Same problem here, UK 8010 flashed with German JB, mass storage only works if connected during a reboot.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Sparksltd:
When you say open europe rom is that ICS or JB?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gpgalanis:
Unfortunately ICS but I don't see much difference from the JB. I also tried to flash the official UK ICS since I have a UK Note but the problem remained.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Sparksltd:
Strange, I didn't have the problem on Ics. Maybe a factory reset is needed.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mikemod:
I had updated my UK 8010 using the patch and update German JB and my OTG was not working.

I have now just installed the complete 4.1.1 German JB update over this and my OTG is now working again

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gpgalanis:
I have also flashed the full German rom but the problem remained. It is not that my otg wasn't working at all, it is that it stopped working after some time and I needed to restart the device.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gpgalanis:
Unfortunately even after updating to the UK 4.1.1 I still experience OTG issues so once again I flashed back to 4.0.4.
