whole rom backup

i have thl w8 8gb version with build number ThL_W8.JB.HD.EN.COM.8P64_MT6589V1.0.13_20130312

i haven't modified the rom and wanted to make a full backup of stock rom so if something goes wrong i can restore my stock rom can you tell me how to make whole rom backup using sp flash tool or any other program......

i have also attached screenshot of build number.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zombie_wireless:
You can create backup with clockwork mod. Read post #217 to root your device and post #215 to install clockwork mod. If you put the recovery.img file in your phones sdcard, change the # dd if=/storage/sdcard1/recovery.img of=/dev/recovery to # dd if=/storage/sdcard0/recovery.img of=/dev/recovery. Sdcard1 refers to external card.

Also, i'd like to ask something about the G-sensor. When i go to Settings->Display->G-sensor Calibration the bubbles inside the two bars are unstable. Is this normal? It has an impact in games too. Is there anywhere an option to make it less sensitive?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] taimur272:
Thanks for the help.........

I don't think its speed/sensitivity can be controlled as sensitivity of that bubble is preset in hardware(g sensor) and its sensitivity is related with hardware sensitivity ........

1) Download MtkDroidTools

2) Enable USB Debugging on phone (Settings / Deveoper options)

3) Connect phone via USB, launch MTK DroidTools

4) After your phone is identified, press on "Blocks info" button

5) Use button in new open window to generate scatter file

Thanks C3C076 :good:

I'll check this CWM for W8s, but the zip file is brocken.

Is there any chance for an W8S "GravityMod2 - custom ROM for THL W8 (4GB/8GB/16GB/W8+/Beyond/W8s) - Android 4.2.1" or an plain root patch? :cyclops:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
Yes, the zip is corrupted. I'll reupload as soon as I'm at the PC.

Regarding root, you can root directly from cwm. You will be prompted to.

And there's no need for custom ROM. Simply install gravitybox app (after you have root)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
ZIP for W8s should be OK now

Great,

it worked like a charm !

I could not access to the recovery at the start with the key combination (Power On + Volume Up), but I solved by rooting the phone and installing Quick Boot.

Thanks again
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] paraponzi:
same problem for me, the key combination doesn't work...what could be the cause? right now it's not a problem (i start recovery thanks to the gravitybox extended power off) but if the phone bootloop or has other problems and i can't correctly start it, how could we have access to the recovery? it become almost useless in these cases... any advice? thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
Some possible fixes:

1) disable quick boot in accessibility settings

2) check if file recovery-from-boot.p (don't remember exact name) exists in /system/etc. If it does, delete it.

3) try without SD card
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nikiti:
Now i installed GravityMod2, that includes CWM, and the key combination work; my phone is a Newman NM890, identical to THL W8 4GB.

Did you resolve this? (for latest stock 1.4 for W8s?)

Do you lose root after flashing?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kodiak:
Yes.

With SP Flash Tool (running on windows 7 because on windows 8 it did not recognize the phone) installed the 1.0.4 ROM in w8s.

Then, again with SP Flash Tool, installed the new recovery (THANKS C3C076) and finally used eroot to root the phone.

The main reason I've flashed the new ROM was to see if GPS got better. I'm still making some test but I believe it does.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] _ossie_:
I don't want to use SP Flash Tool because last time I wiped out my CWM Recovery and root.

I plan to flash the update using CWM, (assuming this will leave my CWM intact, or do I need to 'update' my CWM recovery to 1.4 as well?)

However I had to "fix" the Update.zip file by removing a couple of asserts in updater-script which were causing update to fail in CWM.

If anyone has any idea what causes the root to be removed, then maybe I can also alter the zip to stop this happening?
