Can we flash zips, make a nandroid back up and install ROMs?

Flashed ex#3 using Odin and am now backing up my rooted stock image in ClockworkMod Recovery v.6.0.3.2

Champion for this work!

CWM for life :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Obagleyfreer:
The real test is if you flash a different ROM then try and restore your backup.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oursoul:
I know this haha.

For now I notice that 'reboot' doesn't reboot it shuts down.

Can't mount SD or External SD using the options in recovery.

Making a normal backup seems to have lost the backup files somewhere, I'm trying to find them now.

In the meantime I've made a backup to my external SD which is accessible. Would like to find the backup that went to my phone though as its taking up valuable space.

Will try to flash a ROM and recover in a moment.

---------- Post added at 03:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 AM ----------

Found the backup..

It is in \mnt\shell\emulated\clockworkmod\..

---------- Post added at 03:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 AM ----------

Well I was unable to install the Custom ROM I will be using (Omega) but I think that is more to do with an unfinished installer which will be corrected in time.

However I did do a full wipe soooo..

Now restoring the backup I made to my External SD... fingers crossed :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mrlove6:
i confirm, flashing custom romis not working...it keep restart the phone....

i dont think it will make a restore ;) i am stuck on Restoring system... since 10 minutes

more over when i was trying to wipe any thing after i wipped data, the color of background change with time into lighter till it reach white, and always keep givind E:/ can't mount /cache/recovery/command , log, last_log , and cant open too
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] emwno:
I know what to do now. ill be home in a couple of hours so will post Ex#4 then
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oursoul:
Phew.

1st try it froze on restoring SYSTEM, I left it for 10 mins but nothing happening so I pulled the battery and tried once more.

2nd try it got to the end and then the screen went really messed up, very bright and strange, I pulled the battery and now its booting up fine into the stock ROM.

Not for the faint hearted this one, at least I'm back with a working ROM :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] emwno:
One of the reasons why l didn't want to release.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] oursoul:
I understand that, I'm interested to see how its going and am confident I can always flash pure stock if I have to.

At least in one way or another I was able to make a backup and restore it :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] cybdani:
I can't flash my rom with this recovery because of mounting partitions.

I hope you get a solution soon.

I've flashed my rom and make a backup/restore without problems in TWRP recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lottumeb:
Very nice to see all the work is already mainly done. :)

I got my S4 today and it's already rooted.

Main reason is to freeze not needed apps.

Question: where is the download link for CWM??

For the time being i'm not going to flash any other roms anyway, just like to backup my existing one.

I paid for CWM, so is it then possible to install and update with CWM itself?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] emwno:
On OP
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] trickk:

Trying to make backup now.

Afterwards will try to restore them.

mount issues

Hi everyone,

I have checked the exp#4 and backup does work (though it take too much), but the problem is that I cannot make it store it on my SDCard. I always tries and saves it under /mnt/shell/<something> which is on the memory built in SDCard. So I tried to do this manually from inside recover and not ROM Manager, and when I tried to mount the extranl card I get the error that /mnt/external_cd does not exists, In fact my external CD Card is located on /mnt/exSdCard.

Is it possible to overcome this?

In the clockworkmod folder either in your sd card or ext sd card depending on where you backed up to.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pandorra:
wondering regularly about the combos myself, so here's my "howto" i've saved into my device specific folder:

download:

VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER

hold until download mode shows up, release

recovery:

VOL UP + HOME + POWER

hold until the blue text in upper left corner shows up, then release immediately

devices reboots once again directly into recovery

definitely working for the I9505

Hallo guys, I need help about my gadget..

I just bought Xperia TX LT29i last week..

And my accelerometer is not work too, I can't use compass, navigation, and game like NFS.. ("_ _)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Please post in the correct section

It looks to me like you have installed an app that has a trial period on it so you can try it before you buy it. If that is the case then you will now have to buy the app.

By shady apps he means have you installed any paid for apps by not paying for them. If you have (And this kind of problem comes from that) then please take your issue somewhere else other than XDA.

If not, I would suggest you try a repair of your software
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AndroidHoneyComb:
never seen that before,

Sony would never charge you for rotating your device,

Thats nice. In my friends HTC one x there was once this issue too i remember but it was quite simple. There was this script on init.d that was stopping it.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] VietNam:
Dear All,

Does anyone know what do the programs in the StartUp Folder do?

I have just hard reseted my XDA-II and I found following links in this folder

1. AFlashMan.lnk

2. BPInsert.lnk

3. BTIcon.lnk

4. CFlashMan.lnk

5. CheckAutoRun.lnk

6. HandsFree.lnk

7. IA_Caller_ID.lnk

8. MMReg.

9. NFlashMan.lnk

10. poutlook.lnk

11. SMSReceiver.lnk

12. Socket SDIO WLAN.lnk

13. stk.lnk

14. TFlashMan.lnk

15. USSD.lnk

These links are relative to the executed programs in Windows folder with the same names, some of them I can guess for example

HandsFree-Support HandsFree Calling.

IA_Caller_ID-Identify the Caller in Contacts

SMSReceiver-Send and receive SMS

Socket SDIO WLAN-Support Card SD Wi-Fi

BTIcon - The Bluetooth Manager Icon at the bottom right.

But what do the others do?? (What do the ?FlashMan.exe do???)

I deleted All the links that I dont khow what they do and it seems to me that nothing happned. Did I do the right?

Please comment

Thanks!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] JamesManios:
I think! the ?flashman.exe are the individual programs used to backup things to the non-volitale ROM.

AFlashman.exe = Appointments

CFlashman.exe = Contacts

TFlashman.exe = Tasks

NFlashman.exe = coNnections

Why they made this 4 seperate process is beyond me, I removed the ones I don't use, (I only backup the contacts). BPInsert I've also removed, doesn't seem to hurt Bluetooth.

MMReg = is probably Mutlimedia Messaging registration

poutlook = I think your address book, (something to do with that)

stk = is the SIM card toolkit, (you need it to run the SIM tools like syncing

USSD = I don't know that one myself?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] eayuwna:
Wow!

There's a lot of programs in the startup folder on your machine!

I only have:

aFlashman.lnk

cFlashman.lnk

clear_notify.exe

IIWPO_startup.exe

PhonExt.lnk

PocketNav.lnk

poutlook.lnk

Does anyone know if this means I won't have full functionality of my XDA?

(It's an XDA I - RS 4.21 ROM 4.01.16 (Tmobile))

I'm sure I remember having handsfree.lnk in there before I did the upgrade. What's happened to it? Should I be worried?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Biso007:
Hi all,

I hope i'm wrong, but you shouldn't have messed up with those links especially the ?flashman.exe as i believe they are responsible for the ROM to RAM flashing upon soft reset.

note: the number and names of the .lnk files are different between the XDA I and XDA II due to the additional s/w on XDA II (BT and WiFi for example)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Rayan:
As far as I know those FlashX files are for backing up contacts, tasks and appointments to non-volatile memory...

AFlashman.exe = Appointments

CFlashman.exe = Contacts

TFlashman.exe = Tasks

NFlashman.exe = coNnections

So if you don't use the Permanent Save feature (on Control Panel) you can safely delete them from the startup folder.

Best regards,

Rayan
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ezzkht:
IIWPO_startup.exe = Anti-theft program

xFlashMan.lnk = processes to synchronize u're contacts, calendar, tasks... in ROM (non-volatile backup)

poutlook.lnk = pocket outlook process (necessary for pocket word & excel)

SMSReceiver.lnk = process to monitor SMS reception & save incoming SMS in DB

stk.lnk = SIM Toolkit

USSD.lnk = the GSM service (monitors incoming calls, dialing numbers, etc...)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] muppet_65:
Actually this has to do with the permanent save - you can delete it and still synchronize with the PC & use tasks/contacts etc. At least I did ..
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ezzkht:
poutlook.lnk = permanent save?

i never knew about that! :?

are you sure its safe to terminate this process??? :roll:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] OdeeanRDeathshead:
poutlook starts up with 1 thread and is responsible for everything that occurs in tasks contacts and calendar. poutlook starts at least 1 new thread for each when they are started for the first time. I do not think it has anything to do with permanent save. If you kill it or send it a WM_CLOSE it ends along with the contacts, tasks and calendar with no apparent other side effects. I would like to know how it has anything to do with word and excel, they are pword.exe and pxl.exe for the process names. Ending the process for the flashman's has varying results. Sometimes the whole ppc freezez up. Sometimes the current window continues but once the app closes the os freezes.

Dose anyone know if there is somewhere in the registry where a list all non os exe file names or paths is?
