I have a backup in twrp, if i perform a wipe in recovery will it wipe the backup aswell? thanks
[HTC One S] ATSPerson:
If you fully wipe the phone (incl data) you will wipe the TWRP folder because the folder is just another on your SDcard. Before you wipe copy the TWRP folder in its entirety TWRP/Backups/[Device Number]/[Back-up file] on to a PC and then do the wipe.

When I flash a new rom with a different framework to the rom I'm currently on I take care to make a full TWRP back-up of my current system move that across to my PC, then proceed to wipe everything on my phone, data, system, factory reset and numerous cache and dalvik wipes. (I use the Awesome scripts superwipe and kernel cleaners which do the trick really well).

Anyway recently I installed a rom which really didn't work for me, so i wanted to get back to where I was before I installed it. I booted into TWRP cleaned the data, system factory reset wiped the caches. I mount my PC move my nandroid across to my SDcard and go to restore. But of course TWRP looks in the restore folder for the backup and I have wiped this so the file structure does not exist.

So after telling myself what an idiot I was for not remembering what the file system was, here's what I did:

1 - Stopped panicking!

2 - Ran the back-up utility in TWRP - this recreates the file structure for the back-ups and places a back-up of your empty system in the folder

3 - Move the original full back-up I placed in the empty SDcard into the file system next to the empty back-up I'd just created

4 - Go to restore and the full back-up is there. Swiped to restore it and my One S is back to it's old self

Lessons learnt: Don't panic - there is an answer. Just think about it.

Good luck!

Hi :)

Where can I find and run the backup utility tool? so I can recreate the TWRP folder, can you help me?

Thanks

I have (had) superSU installed on my phone and some time ago unlocked it. Last night I was on my phone, on a screen that says "Team Win Recovery Project v2.7.0.2" on the top, and then 8 boxes saying "Install, Wipe, Backup, Restore, Mount, Settings, Advanced and Reboot". (If it helps the lock screen on this screen is a TWRP padlock which is unlocked, and a "swipe to unlock" bar on the bottom"). I clicked on Reboot, and then System (expecting there to be another "are you sure option" at that point but there wasn't). My phone turned off then on again, and now the vast majority of the apps (including Chrome, Google Play, the clock/alarm app, YouTube, games etc.) have all gone, and the remaining ones largely do not work, with a message that says "Unfortunately, ***app name*** has stopped working" appearing. How can I recover all the files I've just lost!? How can I get everything back? Please, please, please help. My phone is a HTC One M8.

Similar or Exact same issue

How to run back up utility?

I don't know if our problems are similar or not, so I'll just post mine.

I flashed CrDroid Rom but wanted to remove it, so I moved my backup onto SD card and tried to restore it. Now the problem is TWRP shows all the folder when trying to install, but it doesn't show a single folder in Internal or External SD card when trying to restore. That's it! Only when I try to restore. Now I could flash a different ROM but how do I restore?

Me 2

Ive always been in a debate between the two. is one run better? does one support more games?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i900frenchaddict:
It would be hard to tell (honnestly, even if I manage Fpse official forum ^^).

In my opinion, it depends on what you're expecting from the emulator:

Fpse=> more options (for video, audio, controlers), more things you can tweak to get your perfect "graphic/speed balance" for each game, in the whole better graphic....and more updates (which can be seen as a bad or a good point, depending on how geek you are:p but a proof that the devs tries to fix every single bug )

Epsxe=> Easy to set up, no waste of time, straight to the point: if a game is said to work so it does indeed. But less tweaking possibilities, less good graphic on high end devices. Working great on low/medium end devices

If you want to play quickly, prefer instant-game over trying settings, Epsxe

If you want a lot of options and perfect crispy graphics, even if it requires trying a few settings , Fpse

Schtruck, Fpse's dev., is my friend, and I've been following this project since late 2008 on Windows Mobile then Android, so of course I vote for Fpse ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stafer:
Go with ePSXe bud :)

ePSXe is going to be the best psx emulator on the Android market hands down, it supports blue tooth controllers and I'm positive it can run the PS3 controller as well since its blue tooth and I have a Red Samurai blue tooth controller I use to play all my games well most! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i900frenchaddict:
Fpse has been supporting bluetooth too for a very long time (actually FpseCE for Windows Mobile was already supporting bluetooth controllers like the MSI BGP100 in early 2009 ;) ).

BTW, Opengl 2.0 plugin for Fpse is on the way (there are already 3 different rendering possibilities: software, OpenGL ES blitting and OpenGL 1.1 plugin). As far as graphics are concerned, Fpse has always had (and so will keep having) an advantage over epsxe :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpolchies:
Does anyone know if FPse or ePSXe have native ps3 controller support? (I have a transformer infinity and I would like to just use the USB port on the dock and play games.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barbonjoe:
A year as passed.... ePSXe has grown.

What do you think?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdikRahman:
Just try the pirated versions. Then help the developer by buying ePSXe or FPse. This way you are helping yourself and the developer :)

If you think my idea is totally stupid, :p Just buy epsxe. Because it's the modern emulator :)

[Motorola Droid 4] DarkMatterM4:
Hi Guys,

I have a question/problem in regards to the recent OTA update to Jelly Bean (4.1.2) for my Droid 4. I just recently installed the update and, as expected, lost root just like with any other OTA update. So I ran motofail like I normally do to restore root. After the reboot, I noticed that "Superuser" was back on the apps screen. So I went ahead to reconfigure Titanium Backup and it says that I don't have root privileges.

Upon doing some more research, I found out that motofail does not work with Jelly Bean and I was pointed to the RAZR BLADE exploit. After running the exploit to completion, I ended up exactly where I started. "Superuser" was still there and I still couldn't use Titanium Backup. Root Checker, unsurprisingly, says that the device is not rooted properly.

My question is, where do I go from here? I would really like to restore root, but I am unsure of what to do next. Searching has yielded no results. As you can see, I am a complete noob when it comes to these devices. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[Motorola Droid 4] DarkMatterM4:
Sorry to ask, but what does sbf mean?
[Motorola Droid 4] maddeath:
Sbf is lazy for fastboot. Long story short what you want to do is use a sbf(.xml) file to restore your device to stock. Once you have done that you should be able to get a proper root by using the tools above. I hope i helped a bit and try not to brick :D

Sent from my XT894 using that xda app
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
.sbf is the old file format, the new is .xml

contains the phones software and is flashed with rsd lite or the droid 4 utility
[Motorola Droid 4] DarkMatterM4:
Alright. I ran the DROID 4 Utility. Reflashed to the official Jelly Bean (No Data Wipe). After the phone booted back up, I ran the RAZR BLADE exploit again. I am still in the same boat. Superuser is there in the apps screen, but still no root. I got the same errors with the exploit that I got the first time around. A screen capture of what I got is attached.

Where do I go from here? I really don't want to wipe all the data from the phone.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Well my friend. Try updating su/supersu binary? If not then unfortunately you will have to wipe data. :-/

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

also do you have SuperSU or Superuser?

Superuser should have gotten wiped with flashing .xml, because it's installed as a system app, if it's still there

your flash failed, reflash xml with utility or try rsd lite
[Motorola Droid 4] DarkMatterM4:
I GOT ROOT! I'm going to structure this post in such a way so that it will be easily searchable by those who are having the same problem.

The issue that I was having was that the RAZR Blade exploit was giving me the following errors when trying to root:

failed on '/data/logger' - Permission denied

mkdir failed for /data/logger, File Exists

Unable to chmod /data/logger: Operation not permitted

link failed File exisits

Device: Droid 4

Network: Verizon

System: XT894

Android version: 4.1.2

What I did to solve the problem:

-Settings > Apps > Smart Actions > Clear data

-Settings > Storage > ≡ Button > USB computer connection > Select "Media device (MTP)

-Ran the exploit again. Went through with no errors. Upon reboot I had root access.

After I had root access, I went back to the USB computer connection and changed back to Mass Storage mode.

Thanks for all of the help you guys gave me. I really appreciate it!

[Motorola Droid 4] cellzealot:
SBF is NOT a verb...

SBF is a file type and stands for Single Binary File that is the older format of Motorola flash files for use with RSD lite or other flash tools.

They include all of the code groups, header files and checksums as well as a RAM Downloader for all of the device partition images in a single file and flashed from the legacy boot loader enumerated as a flash device.

The new format for all dual core Motorola devices is zip archive of fastboot images and an XML file that can be used with RSD lite to flash in a single operation or flashed as individual images using the fastboot binary and DLLs in the Android SDK from the fastboot boot loader and enumerated as an ADB device.

These are entirely different modes of access and operation and SBF is both wrong and a misnomer for the firmware files for current devices.

The fast boot interface provides far more flexibility and safety for flashing than the old flash interface and avoids all kinds of problems that would arise from managing and updating he firmware on newer chipset devices.

It is an extremely important distinction to make and understanding to have about how these phones work.

Please stop using SBF when referring to XML.zip files.

The current acronym for Motorola firmware files is FXZ and means Full XML ZIP file.

FXZ is a made up term.

SBF is an official Motorola file type as is an XML.zip or tar.gz
