backup preload?

Is it possible to also backup the /preload partition with CWM 6.0.2.8?

When I'm flashing a rom that manipulates the /preload partition and I want to restore a previous backup afterwards, I often get a bootloop.

I need to flash the original firmware again (and a previous rom that has manipulated the /preload partition to have the same /preload partition as the backup) before a backup restore.

Perhaps it's easier with an example:

-backup of firmware with MC8, ItalianJob rom (manipulates /preload partition) and custom modifications

-installed MF1, messed with a custom rom that manipulates the /preload (different /preload than ItalianJob rom)

-when trying to restore the backup, it get a bootloop

-flashing MC8 and ItalianJob rom before restore is needed to get it working...:(
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] judas1977:
I don't think there is possibility to automatically backup preload partition. You'd have to copy manually content of this partition (there are only apks in symlink folder) and create zip pack to restore it (for example with formatting preload partition in updater-script, just to be sure).

The other option, letting to backup preload partition automatically via recovery is modification of the Rom itself: by copying content of /preload to /data partition plus symlinking it. But it's simply wasting of space:)

@up it was just a bit misleading... until I figured it out.

I thought that a nandroid was a complete backup of your system (so I thought preload was included)...:silly:

But that's apparently not the case.

But now I know at least that I need to reflash the rom I was working on before restoring my backup.:D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] bomikar:
You can modify stuff inside preload in recovery with Aroma File Manager.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] fluffi444:
If some of you need an really FULL Nand-Backup (including internal SD) you can do this via ADB from Stock Recovery.

Superuser (SU) is needed!

Mount SD Card from stock recovery:

adb shell su -c "mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard"

FULL Backup:

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/fullbackup.img bs=4096"

FULL Restore:

adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/fullbackup.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=4096"

This will make an 3,8 GB File on your External SD Card - Be sure that there is space for it....

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] h3llrais3r:
It's not permanent... It's temporary CWM...:p
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ms28leo:
And what about mounting sd card?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Tecnofilo:
Hi,

One question:

Can I use this CWM recovery 6 for GALAXY ACE I8160 WITH GINGERBREAD 2.3.6 ? OR only works with jelly Bean?

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] tofueatsbread:
Galaxy ace 2*. Only for jelly bean

Can anyone make a flashable Odin out of it? I have no external sdcard so i don't know how to flash it
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] tofueatsbread:
Flash using odin(pc) as PDA.

EDIT: is external sd 'emmc'?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Razer(x):
This file is for CWM, not for odin, if you can find a way to flash it via odin i would be really happy.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] tofueatsbread:
Sorry misunderstood your question
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] pinhead97:
If you want to mod your phone in any way, you need an external SD card, almost impossible without one
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Razer(x):

please buy a 2gb sdcard for 3$ (8gb 7$) :beer:

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kemenesi:
Pls help me to install CWM.

When reboot the stock recovery I dont find the update.zip.

I think the problem is the sdcard name, because when i copy the zip file to my Ace2 my sd card name is: /storage/extSdCard

and the stock recovery search only : /sdcard.

How can I install CWM?

My Rom : XXMG2.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Shadowcareful:
@up chose install zip from external sd card and then search your folder with the cmw.zip file click on it and chose install.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] frischeis:
Some questions:

I have jb-stock-rom.

It`s possible to make a backup via cwm recovery from stock rom and after flashing a custom rom you install this backup back via cwm recovery?

After that you have full jb-stock-rom...right??

Or it is better to flash jb-stock-rom via odin when i want to go back and when i have a custom rom installed?

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

I just want to make sure that I can sell my phone again without a custom rom but with the original rom...

Thanks for helping...

Hello

I have tried the recovery on my friend's ace II and it worked like charm, when I try to use it on my phone, it installs then when it is booting into it, the screen becomes all vertical lines :( why is this happening ?? :confused: please help I want to flash AOKP because stock samsung rom is so laggy :eek:

Please reply !!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] emogibran:

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] tofueatsbread:
I use mh1. Update.zip works for me
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] mahmoud.mahdi:
Me too...what can I do??
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Fodshello:
So first i should install cwm from stock recovery then install update from cwm ?? does that make it permanent? or it's just for confirming or sth?

sorry i'm a noob :D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] tofueatsbread:
you just flash cwm (update.zip) in stock recovery and thats it, theres no permanent unless you flash d kernel. this thread's cwm is temporary. so you have to flash everytime you want to e=access cwm from stock recovery
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Fodshello:
lol I misunderstood the way of the installation because I saw it on youtube .. my bad .. every thing is clear now
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Fodshello:
another question ... should I root my phone so i can flash this?? or it doesn't matter as this is a temporary cwm ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] astankov:
No you should not. Just reboot to recovery and flash it with stock recovery. Works great.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] made.believe:
cant make it permanent :) , but there are tons of permanent versions of cwm's look it up

tip : its easier to find with google , den in xda site itself :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] tofueatsbread:
no. if you found xda forum for ace 2 thats better. google has more malware and crapware
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] made.believe:
when i said GOOGLE i meant "browsing xda through google" smart$

sry for resurection of this thread,

I just tryed to flash my Ace2 and as it seams I cannot find a CWM recovery which is capable of flashing lates CM11 , always gives a an error (-7 smth alike)

could someone point me to a thread / website where I could find latest CWM, I would not care if temp / permanent install

thnx a bunch

stefanero
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Alwer:
I know that in fact this is not answer for Your question, but if U wish to install CM11, as "recovery" U can just use custom kernel.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] stefanero313:
thnx

I just installed 10.2, and then this recovery was able to flash 11 :)

a bit of workaround but oh well, now I need to find a way to get my mobile network back online, but I guess thats a different story

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] LS.xD:
Sure it does ;) Ace 2 has kernel/recovery on the same partition, so you need to flash a kernel with the recovery you want. Which rom are you actually using?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Florian Bichl:

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Did you try this from stock recovery?

If you did, you should flash temporary CWM, or if you intend to go to a custom ROM, flash odin kernel with ace2nutzer (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/kernel-ace2nutzer-kernel-20141027-t2920365) or chrono kernel (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/custom-kernel-t2793420).

Trojan detected...

Dear [MENTION=4060849]Shaaan[/MENTION],

I have tried to install CWM Recovery with this file that you have provided, which surprisingly almost all other XDA devs that have threads about the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 (GT-I8160) refer to, but there are a couple of issues that have always stopped me from continuing the process:

1- The number of new pages (or tabs) that open as a result of clicking the download button are like 2 to 4 pages (or tabs) every time, which is unreasonable.

2- The file has been detected to have a trojan in it (Google Chrome has notified me of that, as I'm downloading the file through it, and even when I ignored that and installed the file despite it, I have extracted it to find Avira notifying me again about it), TR/Crypt.ZPACK.Gen4 to be accurate.

What surprises me the most though is that no one before has reported such an issue (does that perhaps mean that the file has been modified recently or something like that?).

I hope that you fix it as the community is in need.

Thanks and have a nice day / good night. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dara.parsavand:
I have two Android devices, an AT&T Note II and a Nexus 7, and I'd like to get them running identical ROMs at some point. I'm just not the type of person that wants to learn multiple ways of doing the same thing. I wish somehow Android could have been developed in a way that every device was sold with the same OS, perhaps with some vendor specific apps that can be removed. But here we are.

I don't need any of the Samsung apps and am fine using Papyrus or other Memo apps to get the pen functionality (writing notes is the only thing I do with the pen).

What are good options to look into? I'll install on the Nexus 7 first and try it for a while before rooting the Note II. I'm a bit more nervous with the Note II as it is my phone, so it makes more sense to figure out what I want on the Nexus 7 first.

AOSP based ROMs that seem likely to land on the Note II (and I presume are all available for the Nexus 7) that I know of are:

CyanogenMod

AOKP

Paranoid Android

Any other suggestions?

Thanks, Dara
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kreateablaze:
Pretty much all the aosp roms that are available for the note 2 right now are available for the nexus 7 too. I also have both but like variety to try other things. Paranoid would be best on the nexus 7 in my opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 4u2nvinmtl:
ROOT-BOX (its AOKP+CM+PA) personally i like all the options and for now its running smoother than b3 AOKP for note 2.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] velveteen71:
I'm on Rogers. Running stock. I noticed something about caller ID on my previous Note with different ROMs: Some ROMs, like CM, will show the caller's name and number, but other ROMs, such as the stock one I'm running now, only show the number (it will show the name if the person is in my contacts).

I'd like to have PROPER caller ID (i.e. name + number) with this here stock ROM. Can anyone tell me why it's a go on some ROMs and not on others?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] g2tegg:
So I guess the only difference is that CM will display the number under the contact name, while TW ROMs only display the name (or just the number if no name is stored for that specific number) of the person calling.

Personally I don't care who so and so's number is, because their number is already stored on my phone.

I can't see this ever being changed, seeing as this wouldn't be a simple "add on".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] velveteen71:
No, it's more like a CM knows the name of a non-contact, whereas TW doesn't. For example, let's say Sears calls me about my underpants catelogue order. Sears isn't in my contacts. TW caller ID will show "800-669-6969", and CM will show "Sears 800-669-6969".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] g2tegg:
Ah yes I know what you mean now. For my carrier thats a feature called caller id lookup. I think the carrier searches the 411 and sends the info to the phone.

Very good question now that I understand. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with APN settings or possibly TW ROMs don't have that feature available. I don't have that on my note 2 either, yet had that with my old iPhone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] velveteen71:
Yes, I thought perhaps it was a carrier feature, but it's puzzling why it works with some ROMs and not others,.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] g2tegg:
Unless the specific rom looks for the 411 using data while the call is coming through. Wish TW ROMs had it, cause I'm not going to switch and lose out on all the features.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bzlik88:
There's nothing wrong with cwm. Twrp is faster, newer and prettier...but still...cwm is not ur problem unless u did something like use dark side scripts on a version of cwm above 5.0.2.7

I'm not an android genius and idk if Grande is either....I'm just speaking from a couple years of experience flashing tons of different ROMs...I still use cwm5027.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] imanoobfml:
Thanks for all the help guys. I believe my problem was that my charger was connected to my phone...after attempting to flash multiple times with no positive results, i gave up and decided to try it later. The next time i did it my phone was unplugged from the charger and i followed the steps correctly and it worked. Thanks guys, your help was appreciated(:
