[General Questions and Answers] Cyanandroid:
Since you cannot see the contents of data folder without rooting the device, I'd suggest you to pull the wpa_supplicant.conf file using adb.

You'll need a Laptop/PC for this method.

Here's how to do it.

In settings, open About phone.

Click on Build number 5-6 times until you get the "You're now a developer" toast message.

​

​

Now go to developer options in settings and switch Android/USB debugging to on.

​

​

​If you have an option of Root Access, set it to ADB only.

Now, open your Windows desktop and download and install adb drivers. (You can download the driver's from adbdriver.com)

Download and install platform tools (minimal adb and fastboot) from http://xdaforums.com/...

Open the folder where you've installed the above tools. Hold the Shift key and right click inside the folder to click on Open Command Window here.

​

​

To test whether ADB is working properly, connect your Android device to your computer using a USB cable and run the following command: adb devices

​

​

You should see a device in this list.

Now that we've successfully connected the device in ADB mode, run the following command to pull the file from your phone: adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf c:/wpa_supplicant.conf

This will fetch the file from your phone and copy it to your C:/ drive.

Open this file in notepad and Voilà!

Thank you. But it didn't work for me. I installed Autorec and used it to install TWRP. I'm yet to flash cloudy G2 but I read from the forums that understand it's only for GSM, does this mean that I cannot use 3G data from my network (Vodafone Ghana)?

Hey.

Is your bootloader unlocked?

Does your phone run a custom recovery?

CTXz
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
This is very easy to do with custom recovery installed. Custom recoveries have the option to format system partition.

If you have custom recovery(CWM, TWRP, Philz touch, etc.) then boot to recovery and find the format options. You'll need to immediately flash a ROM after the format is done because you won't have an OS so if you reboot before flashing a ROM you might create issues that can be hard to fix depending on what device you have.

And YES flashing a custom ROM after formatting system partition IS the fix every time.

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

If your device is not GSM then no you can't use it.

If everything is the same in the GSM devices like yours other than the GSM part then you might be able to replace the GSM part with the CDMA stuff that your phone needs.

I'm not sure if you would be able to do the switch on your particular device or not, and I don't know exactly what you would need to switch because I'm not familiar with your device. You can do some searching to see if this is possible with your device.

Hi CTXz,

I thought I put it in my description. Sorry, anyway, it is an XT925.

Some additional info since that post - I managed to UNLOCK it through Moto website and installed TWRP 2.8.7.0.

Tried to make a backup but TWRP says /data partition cannot be mounted.

Is there a way to restore my /data partition?

Thank you for helping me CTXz.

Koo thanks minhas ill pm u soon been busy over the holiday here in U.S. long weekend! I had a question for any body thats fimiliar wit the verizon elipsis 7 tablet 4.4.2 (rooted). Im new to the android system. is their any bootunlock or similiar things that i can do to this tablet to get more fimiliar wit the mods and methods. instead of sacrificing my lg g4 thru trials and tribulations as i get more fimiliar wit the android mod scene. I tried looking into info on mods for this device, but info i found or what i understood was for rooting (which i did) guessing lack of info due to its not a very popular device!(kinda crappy tablet but was free from verizon) could be wrong hope im wrong would really like to use this device as my guinea ?. thanks in advance

Yeah, I've seen you around enough to know you do.

If nothing is available for download then maybe getting a ROM dump from someone with a rooted device like yours might work, not sure though.

No I have neither just rooted with kingo root.
[General Questions and Answers] Kreevs:
I have a similar question.

I have a Galaxy S4, I have a TWRP backup from when I initially got my phone a few years ago. I never flashed any ROMs, just used stock.

However, recently my phone had become slow with multiple spontaneous restarts, and it has now become frozen and can't get past the Samsung startup screen. (someone has mentioned that this could have been due to my phone being essentially full and having no free space.. I couldn't even download app updates with Google Play saying "not enough memory")

Regardless, I can boot into TWRP and I see my backed up /boot /system /data /EFS /recovery partitions that I made a few years back.

Like the OP (post #23282), I, too am wondering about my restore options.

1. Can I just try to wipe the cache, davlik cache, system data and preload, and then use TWRP to restore my system, boot, cache & preload partitions? Can I restore without touching the data and EFS partitions? Will this leave my app data and settings untouched?

2. Do I need to wipe and restore the data if I am using the same ROM (my situation)? How about if using a different one than stock?

3. Are there any other situations other than when flashing new ROMs that you need to wipe and restore the data partition?

Like the OP I have some data/settings stored in some of my apps that will be either extremely difficult or extremely tedious to retrieve should I have to wipe and restore the data partition. Basically, my noob question is what is stored where and what are my options for recovery when restoring system/data/cache/etc.?

[General Questions and Answers] :
Prepping for first custom ROM

I've been an Android user for a while but I'm just getting into advanced customizing. Recently rooted my phone and I'm considering using a custom ROM. My phone is an LG G3 and I'm with Verizon. I have TWRP installed and I have created a nandroid backup.

My question it's about wiping and formatting when flashing custom ROMs. So I have this backup file stored on the internal storage of the phone. I don't have an external SD for this phone yet. The backup is in /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS. I also saved a copy to the cloud. I've read that it is good practice to format your phone's storage before flashing to a new ROM to minimize the chances of something not working correctly when the new ROM is installed. I'm looking at using Cloudy G3, by the way. So, finally, my question is: If I format, what does that erase? Will I lose the nandroid backup I have stored in my phone? I understand that wiping and formatting are two different things but I'm just not clear on what each one affects. If formatting is going to erase the internally stored backup would it be add simple as putting my cloud copy of the backup on an external SD and installing that via TWRP if I have a problem after installing Cloudy? Or, a USB connection from phone to PC still works in TWRP recovery mode so I could pull the backup from my PC too right?

This phone is still pretty new and I don't have a lot stored on it yet so the only thing scary to me about formatting is not being able to load the backup I made. It would suck to have to go back to bone stock of something wasn't right and lose all the setting up I've already done. I just want to know I have a bailout just in case.

Unlock your bootloader via htcdev.com

Flash TWRP recovery in fastboot

Use your new recovery to flash UpdateSuperSU.zip

Find SuperSU in your app drawer and open it. It'll prompt you to update binaries. Do that.

You are rooted.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
As long as you only do the normal wipes in recovery(factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache) you won't erase any of your personal data(TWRP backup will be safe), you will only be wiping the system(OS) and data(user installed apps and the app data), you can make a backup of the apps and their data that you want to keep with Titanium Backup from the playstore and the titanium backup can be restored when you install the new ROM, that way you can keep the apps you had and any data associated with them.

There are advanced wipes that format your internal partition, those options would erase all of your personal data and your backup from internal memory so that is not what you want to do. Just do the normal wipe, when you install your ROM in TWRP it will automatically prompt you to do the correct and safe wipes, it will have a slider, swipe the slider and when it is done you reboot to system and you'll be running the ROM.

If you lose the backup you can move a copy from PC to phone as long as the phone is functional.

Galaxy Tab SM-T810

Greetings. I did come here after much debating and fretting. I need a hand, not a physical one, but a hand none the less.

First off I got the Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T810 (it's the new 9.7 tab i believe) and the only thing I want is to root the thing and then reset the knox counter for when I will update it. I hate having restrictions and having to keep Google bloatware on the thing, so I can uninstall that with root. Problem is, this tablet is quite new (2015) and I do not have a clear tutorial on it.

Problem is the only thing on the forum I can find is here and there is no real explanation: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/root-cf-autoroot-tab-s2-sm-t3187202

It's just an Image file and that I have no clue what to do with. My android version is 5.0.2.

Can anyone direct me to at least some sorta form of walk-through for the thing and possibly advise me how not to brick it? I would really appreciate the help.

Waiting for any clue, thank you again.

You can not flash only boot animation logo. If you have created you nandroid backup, restore only the /system in your CWM recovery. Or if you use a custom ROM, just dirty flash your ROM.

If neither of both ways works for you, you have to flash whole stock firmware with Odin in download mode. Sorry for your data and settings. Photos will remain fine on Samsung, probably.

Hey people! As you can see, this is my first post, and I'm not 100% on where to ask this, so I figured I'd just ask it here and y'all can redirect me if necessary :)

I've been developing Android apps for about 4 months now, so I'm still pretty new. There are two apps I am currently working on, and I'm stuck at a similar point in both of them - connecting and sending data to another device wirelessly. In one, I would like to transfer strings (specifically strings of data I've collected from the accelerometer) from the device to a computer via wifi. In the other app, I would like to connect two devices and send the GPS data to each other, so each knows where the other is.

I've done a lot of research, but I'm still unclear what the best way to go about this is. I've seen people suggesting the use of servers for others who were trying to do something similar, but I have no idea how to even start setting that up. From what I've seen, the Socket Android class appears to be what I should use, but I really don't understand how it works. It looks like I connect to a device by providing the IP address, but I don't understand how the other device will receive the data....or really how it works at all lol. Am I on the right track? If someone could give me some explanations/suggestions/guidance I would be very appreciative. Thanks!

I recently got my hands on a Samsung Galaxy Ace III (GT-S7275T) and found Samsung phones are a bit different when it comes to flashing things. (and the apps.... so many apps)

[IMG="The device firmware"]http://i.imgur.com/0glPpSW.png[/IMG]

Anyways, these are my questions:

The picture above shows the firmware currently on the device. It says "Country: Australia (Vodafone)" Does that mean the phone only works with Vodafone SIMs? (They don't exist where I live). I can't take Calls, Send Texts or use Mobile Data most of the time, but it works occasionally. (Can this be a hardware issue? the device isn't new)

Can I flash things or root it with just ADB and Fastboot? Do I need Odin?

Apparently it has a counter for how many times the firmware was flashed. Can I ever reset it when I come back to Stock? I know about TriangleAway but that requires root which I'll lose if I ever flash the stock firmware.

Does using Kingo Android Root to root or unroot trigger the flash counter?

Thanks. :D

2nd.

Hello!

Almost every single app shows 0 bytes of space taken in the FolderMount. Because of that, I am not able to move anything to sdcard.

I restarted my sdcard cause it was parted as two partitions in order to work with link2sd - I used partitionwizard to clear and merge partitions. Now it seems something got broken. I also tried to default settings of the phone. Got rooted again but didn't help. I am using the same root as before - Kingroot. I tried also another sd card - same thing.
