where i can find rom backup file pls??

i did ( backup and restore --> backup to sdcard .. then it have done and rebooted

[Android Software Development] Elveneleven:
Navigate to Folder clockworkmod/backups either on internal or external storage. There you'll find a folder with your backed up rom. If not, there's something wrong. Sdcard is internal storage, sdcard1 external.

Hi Philz

This piece of software is fabulous. I have a Galaxy S3 which has died and it now stops loading Android at the third (throbbing) Samsung screen. No one has any idea how to get it working again. But just before it stopped even being detected by the computer (either in straight, recovery or download mode), it DID LOAD PHILZ!! I now appear to have full Philz functionality.

So I appear to have been able to back up whatever the backup app is able to back up, to SD1. I now have the full directory backup structure on SD card. But does anyone have any idea how to read it please? I am unlikely to be able to restore to this device, which isnt even detected by the computer any more so I would like to see what is there or restore it or some of it to another phone (I Now have a Galaxy J7)

People seem to think you cant use Philz to backup when you will need to restore to a new device? I urgently need to see what the Philz backup program has put in the 1.5 gb backup please.
[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
The backups are tar.gz archives, if you have CWM mode and compression enabled. They are split into many files you can concatenate using cat

Basically, in a linux box, you can run this:

cat backup_file_image* | pigz -d -c | tar -xpv

or

cat backup_file_image* | tar -xzpv

backup_file_image can be system.ext4.tar.gz for example

Note that windows tools cannot open the tar.gz archives because they containe the selinux context extensions, not supported by most windows archive tools as long as I tested

If the image is a tar not compressed (no .gz extension), use this:

cat backup_file_image* | tar -xpv

Real example if your archive set consists of the following files:

command:

cat data.ext4.tar.gz* | pigz -d -c | tar -xpv

or

cat data.ext4.tar.gz* | tar -xzpv

Basically, cat command will concatenate the .a, .b, .c and so on files into one file and extract the resulting archive

To get the whole tar.gz file, just run the cat part of the command
[Android Software Development] licensedtoquill:
Thanks for that succinct description Phil, I do use Mint on all boxes which which huff'n'puff under windows but was relatively uncomfortable using command lines: I will have to GET comfortable now!!

I was kinda surprised that Philz recovery was so easy to implement and load and seems to be so versatile and now discover that I can retrieve data off a (not bricked but) DEAD machine which won't even load Android using it! However many times I implement TWRP successfully with Odin, it constantly recovery-boots to a black screen.

Thanks for responding on page 635 of a thread: Are you SURE this amazing app is end-of-life?
[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
Sadly yes

If I'd ever get in run again, it will be on rebasing with TWRP. However, for now, real life took all my time + the extra on-sleep time I was using to code
[Android Software Development] BadUsername:
I'd assume that would be a massive project, is that starting from scratch? I assume nothing could be ported.

Real life needs to take priority, I don't mind twrp, just miss everything else this had to offer. It was fun to use and always reliable, never had an issue. Probably because every problem seemed to be instantly addressed.

A philz recovery based on twrp would be amazing through, I could only imagine the crazy customizations and features that are unique to your recovery.

Regardless of your future plans with this, thank you for all you've done for this community. You've certainly impacted my experience and made Android an exciting platform for me to explore.
[Android Software Development] fix-this!:
I used to use philz recovery all the time. Sad the project is dead but I wish you luck phil, thanks for the memories. Twrp isnt soo bad to use I guess.
[Android Software Development] licensedtoquill:
I have been struggling with the Linux commands and meanwhile on your suggestion as to it being end-of-life, installed TWRP. Then I managed to use Odin to flash a stock ROM onto my s3, successfully!! But it seems to have wiped out all my data so i am wondering if there is any app I can use to restore the Philz-backed up data from my SD card back onto the same phone?

Or do I have to re-install Philz over twrp and use the Philz restore function from SD card there?

Hi :) i know its discontinued project but is it possible to build with cm12.1 source on arm64 device?
[Android Software Development] lystab:
setting date/time using "Try Force Persist after Reboot"-Option left phone unusable

just in case anybody else runs into the same difficulty:

Environment: Galaxy S4 I9505 (root) | Android 5.0.1 | Recovery: PhilZ Touch 6.59.0 with ClockworkMod v6.0.5.1

Objective: using "Try Force Persist after Reboot"-Option in manual date/time setup of PhilZ recovery rendered the phone unusable with many app crashes ("unfortunately app has stopped") and the error "UIDs inconsistent - UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable".

Cause: the phone clock was set to the year 1923 when using manual date/time setting option in PhilZ recovery (sometimes different years like 1942). Qualcomm boards read the last clock settings from "/data/time/ats_1" and "/data/time/ats_2" on boot. These are binary closed source files. They differ between versions of Qualcomm boards. The method used by PhilZ recovery to persist the clock settings is not suitable for Galaxy S4 I9505 phones and let to date/time settings way out of range.

Solution: used AROMA filemanager within PhilZ recovery to restore a former backup version of ats_1 and ats_2 files.

ea4hs3e6
[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
That option was needed on some early 4.x android versions. Later, the Qualcom fix was implemented.

You should use Qualcom option for Qualcom devices

The force option never did any harm in my tests, but I did not test under Android 5.x. It shouldn't unless Samsung did implement time in an uncommon way
[Android Software Development] lystab:
thanks for your quick reply. Using the "Qualcomm Time Daemon" resulted in the date set to some year between 1970 and 1997. The implementation of the Qualcomm clock on the Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android 5.x seems to be quite odd.

Help me please.

I'm having this probkem.

When I try to backup .android_secure in custom backup of philz touch it always says "keep only one folder bla bla bla"

I read in an article about .android_secure folder it said that there are two folder considered the same, one in internal storage & the other in external storage (micro sdcard). Based on that, then I tried to rename one so philz touch won't detect it but the notification "keep only one folder" still appears.

Can u show me how to solve it?

Hi,

I currently have philz touch 4 CWM. I used this file "PhilZ-cwm6-XXMS1-OXA-4.53-signed" to flash from stock recovery.

How do I upgrade to newer version? I tried to flash philz touch 6.0.48 from CWM but device ends up being unbootable, so that means this is not compatible. I use stock samsung ROM for now.

How do I install newer version so I can then flash to TWRP?
[Android Software Development] joluke:
Use Odin to flash twrp
[Android Software Development] TerrorizedGakon:
I have stock samsung ROM and pretty much stock kernel, since philz touch 4 is based on stock kernel. If I flash TRWP using ODIN, won't my phone become unbootable, since I don't have IsoRec kernel?

I would also prefer using recovery to flash if possible.

Thanks.

i9500, recovery wise, is very stable. There are so many updates for i9505 because until now i couldn't provide a satisfactory build for it.

Since there are bugs, there is a lot of feedback helping in fixing them. So, from developer view, it is very advantageous for me and all others. Hopefully, i am done with i9505. Still waiting for more feedback about speed

[Android Software Development] ScottBroker:
Where do you see that in post 605???

For all people complaining from very slow backups and huge slow downs when backing up /data.

Please, do the following:

On internal sdcard create this file:

Code:

/sdcard/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress

Please note the heading dot and ensure no space after it

Also, ensure, to set the correct /data/media or /data/media/0 path in Advanced menu to reflect your phone /sdcard path

When such a file is present, nandroid backup will disable all progress, include progress bar and size progress stats

You won't see any progress at all, but backup should still work

Try to backup /data or redo what was causing issues

Report if:

- backup /data still slows down to +60mn for people having the issue

- speed increases in a significant way compared to when progress is shown

Once I have some reliable reports with time stats, I will release next update which will fix the time issue properly too

By the way, on my i9100 with exfat card, enabling stats is longer by 3 seconds for 1 Gb data
[Android Software Development] demlv:
Just watching this discussion.....but I see it too, right there where he says specifically to create the file: /sdcard/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress

If the file were supposed to be placed at the root of the SD card, the instructions would read: /sdcard/.hidenandroidprogress
