Here is how I've been doing it, somehow this seems wrong:

1. install the app

2. in super manager navigate to data/app and cut the apk from that folder

3. navigate to system/app and paste the apk in that folder

4. install from the pasted apk.

Seems it would leave traces from the old install right? like data path?

Also how do I chmod? I'm tried installing sougou from the app store which installed to data/app-private with only read write privledges, so when I tried to move it to the system folder it wouldn't execute/install.

Is there any easier way to do this and how can I get permissions to re-install the app in the system folder?

ok guys , firstable i have knowledge of rooting/roms/kernels/etc.... ok so this is really strange... i have 2 tmobile samsung galaxy s3(peble blue) one is my gfs and the other one is mine, so last friday we went to a party and we decided to take pics , we both open our phones to take some pics and really weird, the camera wasnt letting me enable the flash, and i coulnt even change the resolution to lower or higher, this was happening to both phones the same issue i coulnt use the flash or many of the settings were disable on the menu, both phones were absolutely having the same issues at the moment. i restart my device and it worked regular for a bit, but my gs's phone still didnt, and she keeps tellin me this keeps happening at nights when she tryes taking pics. ANYONE OUT THERE HAVING THIS SIMILAR ISSUES?

By the way:

Both Phones Are Completely Stock 4.1.1 and never been Rooted Or Nothing like that.. COmpletely stock!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Crisisx1:
Never had that issue. The only time it won't let me use the camera flash is when the battery is super low.

I would recommend doing a full reset if it keeps happening.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
go to camera settings and put it to back to default before resetting the device.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joselarajan87:
i have done this already and its same issue again n again
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joselarajan87:
everying is default, and problem still there, and its not only 1 phone is 2 phones, this is only happening at night by the way , let say you go to a nightclub and you try to take some pics inside in a dark room

Lost 2,000+ pics when I rooted because the idiot who made the video didn't mention that your internal sd card gets wiped. Don't want it happening every time I flash a new rom.

(this is the first phone that I have had that doesn't have an external sd card.)
[HTC Droid DNA] TXI Kaze:
Name calling is useless. You shouldn't hold someone responsible for what happens when YOU tamper with YOUR device.

That being said, no. A factory reset does not wipe internal storage
[HTC Droid DNA] Tag798:
Try using recuva, you may be able to get some of the pictures back
[HTC Droid DNA] arozer:
I agree but just so fkn frustrated that I lost 2000+ pics. In the video he even mentioned "oh yeah, I should have mentioned that it wipes everything" after it happened. Well then, edit your video and mention it in the beginning mofo!!

Tried or my friend. No luck :(

Thanks thou. To the both of you.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Or you could of read one of the 1000 disclaimers that HTC gives you during the process saying that it will wipe your phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
By reading the instructions and watching the videos FIRST, you probably would have caught that. Just sayin.
[HTC Droid DNA] DbZ Gokuu:
Even if you didn't know, doesn't everyone around these forums backup anything and everything? Lol
[HTC Droid DNA] dot45:
I'm assuming that now at least, you backup your photo's?

I wouldn't dream of doing anything to my phone that could brick it if messed up, with my only copy of important stuff on it.

That's just an accident waiting to happen.
[HTC Droid DNA] arozer:
To everyone above:

I've been rooting and flashing roms since 2008. I'm fully aware of what happens. This was just my first phone without an SD Card do that's why u was caught off guard. I wasn't aware that it even wipes the internal memory.

That's why the person who makes a GUIDE should mention it. This was probably the worst "guide" every made. I've even made guides before and mention everything important.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
God, I wish there was a way to downvote your post. Its your phone, you read non of the disclaimers that HTC gave you and didn't even watch the guide through before you did it. You blindly went through a process which tells you multiple times that it will wipe your data, and you didn't back it up.

The guy who made the video owes you nothing, he didn't have to make it and you didn't have to follow it.

Loosing your pictures is your fault, no one else's.
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
There is no excuse for ignorance.
[HTC Droid DNA] M0rtiferrimus:
I know exactly the video guide you're talking about. I remember thinking that he should have put a warning at the beginning too, but luckily I didn't lose anything important.

Sorry, I'm afraid your pictures are gone forever unless you can get lucky with some "un-deleting" software.
[LG Optimus Me P350] lans_98:
Hi,i have a question

when i modify the archive "update-script" of a zip flasheable , then proceed to install the "x.zip" but the recovery aborts the installation , i only modified in the archive "update-script" the "ui_print" .Eg

ui_print("Installing the bootanimation ^^")
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
show_progress(0.500000, 40);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(0.200000, 10);
ui_print("Install complete!");
unmount("/system");

i also want to ask , the source i used in update-script is correct for the installation of a bootanimation ?

Thanks for reading i hope your answers :)
[LG Optimus Me P350] JONES2311:
in the mount function you must tell the system the file system too! You must say it before the partition type (e.g. MTD). It should be yaffs2 or ext4. So, if it's yaffs2, it should be mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system")

Other things are ok. Be sure the boot animation is in /system/media and that you created that zip with store compression type.

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

Ah yes I remembered now... P350 (as well as many low legacy lg & non devices) has yaffs2 file system, so you shall want to definitely add this to your updater-script.

I just tried to load a new rom on to my phone. I used twrp to do a factory reset and now it wont turn on, at all. I wont even get to the splash screen. I've tried removing the battery and then turning on, no luck. I've also tried holding the keys to get into recovery mode, nothing works!!

Please tell me its not a brick!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 24680:
which rom where you running

which rom are you trying to load
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MasterDecker:
It really helps to know what ROM you were flashing, what method you used to flash, i/e ODIN flash then TWRP wipe, or TWRP zip install and wipe.

I would highly bet that you flashed an incompatible ROM, that was meant for another version of the S III, which would cause you to be in this current state. Which best case scenario you take it back to AT&T and tell them you were in the middle of using KIES to upgrade to the new OFFICIAL Jellybean, and your computer froze during the install, after which your phone never turned back on.

Second case scenario, you call up Samsung and get an RMA from them, wait 2-4 weeks and get your phone back, often times not having to pay the "fee" for repairing it.

Worst case scenario, you have a nice shiny new beer coaster. In which case you could mail to me and I could use it as such, as I am currently out of coasters.

Try using Odin to fix

1. Download Odin and stock ROM rooted

2. Put phone in Download mode (not recovery) by pressing and holding Vol Down + Home + Power

3. Open Odin on computer and load the ROM

4. Hit Start

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allanc:
Hello folks.

I have been a Windows Mobile 6.x user for the past few years, and just made the leap to Windows Phone 8 about a month ago.

I have been happy with the change for the most part, however I am concerned about my backup/restore options.

With Windows Mobile, I used a tool from SPB which archived absolutely everything down to the last byte, packaged it up as an executable written to the memory card, leaving me with confidence that a full restore was possible after a ROM upgrade, device swap, or if something catastrophic happened to my beloved smartphone.

I understand WP does not give developers the same level of control that WM did, so perhaps that level of backup is just not possible? But I am interested in knowing how close I can get.

I have read the official documentation from Microsoft, and understand that much of the mainstream information is backed up automatically to the cloud: app list, photos, contacts, SMS history. That's a great start, but every app I have may store its own data:

Games have progress and high scores, 'Fuel Tracker' remembers and graphs my gas mileage history over time, 'Youtube downloader' pulls down Youtube videos for offline viewing, Nokia Drive+ remembers my favorite locations, Mocha VNC remembers a list of servers that I have saved, and on and on.

None of these apps are covered in the automatic backup to the cloud. So when it comes time to do a hard reset of my phone, I am going to lose all these settings.

I imagine this is not the case with other phone platforms. Prior to Windows Mobile, PalmOS let me backup my PRC and PDB files. Android probably lets users/devs do whatever they want, and I wouldn't be surprised if iPhone had this solved as well.

So my reason for posting comes down to a few questions:

1. Does this lack of *full* backup/restore functionality bother anybody else?

2. Is there already an app or solution that can help with this functionality? I have not looked at the Windows/Windows Phone sync much, but everything from Microsoft seems to pretend that OS-level settings, photos, and music are all anybody needs to backup.

3. Any idea if better backup/restore behavior is on its way? I doubt that Microsoft is going to improve the backup behavior in the OS. But perhaps some innovative entrepreneur like SPB is working to fill this gap?

Any suggestions would be appreciated to help safeguard against losing app data in the future.

Thank you,

Allan

I was actually hoping for an "Application-Storage" backup aswell. In other words - Game-Settings, Saved Games, downloaded videos/maps ...

While restore did actually reinstall all apps fine, this data was completely missing.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Carpe85:
Hi,

first of all sorry for my english.

For some reason I can not go back to rooting the phone after I had a brick.

I put in antecendes:

- I had installed the rom xperia curisity.

- I made a backup through recovery.

- I install CM10 and testing.

- I try to do a backup restore "normal" but will not let me, I try to do the advanced mode and system restore (I think that was his name).

When restarting the phone the screen goes black, I can not access either the recovery or come to any of the rom.

- I do a reset using the button + volume and power. not working

The following has been re-flash the phone with a ROM version of the 303, but when I try rootearla gives me the following error:

Pushing busybox....

Watch now your device. Select the backup named RootMe and restore it!

Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.

AUNCHER] cmp=com.sonyericsson.vendor.backuprestore/.ui.BackupActivity }

If all is successful i will tell you, if not this shell will run forever.

Running ......

The Restore button is unavailable!

This could do it before, but not now. Moreover, when I try to update the phone from the notification of the 195 version will not let me, tells me that the phone has changed software and can not be updated.

What I can do? thx

Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
root the firmware using bin4ry's method then install cmw.

If you have unlocked your bootloader flash a kernel with cmw already installed in it. (Mine for example)

Then flash whatever rom you want in cmw recovery.

Clear the backup folder on your sdcard, the one from the backup and restore app then try again

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Carpe85:
With the modified kernel with CWM I again had the recovery.

Newbie questions:

- If I have unlocked bootloader and I can not use the method bin4ry's?

- How I can re-let the bootloader as before so that you can update with the official FIRMS?

Thanks!!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
1) If you have unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom kernel then you are automatically rooted.

2) No need too. You can "repair" the phone with pccompanion. It will download the necassary files to your computer but not instal them. It will say "You have modified software blah blah" However, you can create a ftf from the downloaded files and flash them with flashtool anyway even with an unlocked bootloader.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Bluemgt06:
I agree I searched for the champagne one and mine is about as close to perfect as I've seen. Even my iPad 2 had screen clicks, my transformer has them too but I have to press kinda hard and about put my ear on the tablet.

Asus Transformer Infinity running CleanRom 2.7.x
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
I had screen clicks the first day or so, as did the bottom panel of the dock by the hinge. The bottom panel of the dock simply had to be pushed into place, and screen clicks stopped after a couple of days. I can press anywhere on the dock and screen pretty damn hard (which i test regularly lol) and nothing clicks or really moves at all! After hearing about the hardware issues that others, my sister included, have had I am veeerry happy I went the extra mile to get a champagne version. I live in canada too, it was a total ***** to get lol.

Glad your infinity is treating you well!

I work at a computer store and the ipads also have screen clicks, and are actually quite easily dented and scratched, my infinity has taken more of a beating and has held up much better.

It takes a little while for hardware to settle into a nice groove in general, things creak and click on every new device, everyone should be chill for the first week, let it settle and get used to being used, which is especially important for tablets considering the way they are designed and used. This applies to overall performance too, my infinity was laggy the first week I got it in august. After a week things were much peppier.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
For what it's worth, I have to disagree here... The manufacturing process would be exactly the same for both Gold and Grey TF700's - it's just a different colored shell for gods sake!

The reason that you see a lot less complaints about the gold TF700 is because there are a lot less of them out there... There are also many Grey TF700's that are "perfect" as well (mine being one) - it's just luck. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Indeed, as jtrosky says, the only reason you don't hear more form them is because there are so few of them.

My Grey one is flawless. There are also a lot less wobbly ones in Europe than there are in the US. BestBuy and such got a bad shipment, and that'the most sold one.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BTrack:
I agree. My grey Infinity is perfect. No clicking, dead pixels, light bleed, mysterious black lines, white screens, auto-rebooting, lagging, or any of the other myriad imperfections reported in this forum.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
I actually wanted the grey version, but I was only able to find the gold version. Doesn't matter that much either way. Perfect build by the way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Another great Grey TF700T here -- absolutely no hardware issues! To add to the confusion -- for I believe that is the case here -- I bought mine several weeks before the first batch went retail (thus being one of the first TF700 owners worldwide). This is not to brag, but just to mark it up on the list.

@OP: your other thread (posted yesterday) was a hybrid between common sense and perception/opinion, but I'm torn with this one. Should I put this in my "opinion" or "hogwash" bin? Your sampling size is WAAAAAAAAAAY too small to have any kind of statistical significance, and with posts like this, you place yourself in a not-so-flattering light (at least to me and other "scientifically oriented" types).

As widely attributed to Voltaire: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". Stop spreading misinformation and false presumptions, though -- you're only fogging up the entire forum this way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
There are multiple factories producing infinities, it is very possible that all the gold come from the same factory, and it is also possible that the factory they come from is better/has better quality control.

I do not presume that grey infinities have issues across the board. Obviously there are perfect grey infinities.

Even tho it is only a casing, fewer numbers would make it easier to check for defects, as soon as you start producing more of something the probability of issues increases.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lucius.zen:
Cool beans, changed post title

Ive seen so many reports of issues that it seemed natural to assume everyone had a ****ty infinity.

NO ONE EVER POSTS ABOUT good infinities, this has been very helpful

Although it is a different case, they would not be lumped together when it coms to quality control, less numbers = possibly better quality control??

If all the infinities come from the same factory I would see what you mean, but I really think this is unlikely. All of the gold probably come from the same one seeing as only 1/10 are gold. It is possible that this factory is better in general. Not all factories are created equal

I agree we can only assume, I just thought it would be valuable to know that only 1/10 are gold, and that there is a slight chance that fewer numbers increase the likelihood of getting a better machine.
