Was your backup created using Titanium Backup or was it created using TWRP? If you used Titanium Backup, that won't help you, if you made a backup using TWRP, that would definitely help.

How to upgrade 4.2.2 ROM to 4.3 ROM

Hi everyone! I am a newbie here and this is my very first post. I have a doubt which I want to clarify. I tried searching the forums but no luck.

I have a nexus 4 and I've currently installed PACrom 4.2.2. I want to switch over to PA now. But that is on 4.3. What is the best way to switch? I was thinking of doing a Titanium backup of all my apps, backing up root using voodoo and fully resetting the phone, upgrading officially to 4.3 and then restoring root and installing the ROM, finally finishing with restoring the backup. Is this the right way to do things or is there a much simpler method which I'm missing? This sounds a lot tedious.

What's the best method to switch?

Any help here would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Quick question

I've been trying to root, so I managed to flash cwm 5 with no problems.

now there was this bat file to run upon going recovery mode, i did that and the output is as follows

Seems like it managed to copy busybox (what's that?) to temp folder but from there it couldn't mount it to system folder.. and after that it kept trying to access it in its new place in system folder with no success..

the superuser.app has been pushed successfully though ;/

any idea what is the problem?:x my device is galaxy ace plus (S7500) and im currently still on recovery mode..

Thanks alot.

edit - ultimately i downloded busybox and superuser as zip files and installed it through internal SD in recovery mode..

but what is the SU file? :X

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I know of no such list, it may exist though.

All I know to tell you is do some research funding specs for different devices and compare them, it's time consuming but I don't know of a better way. I don't think there is anyone out there that compares devices or makes lists of devices are similar.
[General Questions and Answers] Sprouts2007:
this is exactly what i mean. i have been online for 24x4=96 hours straight and havent found ****. nothing is clear as to what "specs" need to match. there are roughly 50+ differnt specs given on every phone and there isnt a single place that list what needs to be compared. some of us dont learn but "hide and go seek" styles. i have to walked through it ONE TIME and i can run cirlces around just about anyone. thats all im asking. a simple guidnace to undoing the assumed "soft brick" and then maybe if it can be done can tell me what i did to cause it. that doesnt really sound like too much to ask. and if someone would be willing to do that little thing i would be happy to take the knowladge i have just been given and create "packs" that includes the programs needed for each method and coherant and graatically correct guides so others wont have to suffer the same fate. i can even translate from this tech jargon to laymens terms. please i need a helping hand.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
We don't know how you messed up, we weren't there to see everything you did, when you did it or what you screwed up when you did it.

There are details that change everything depending on when and where you did it. If you didn't do it correctly there are any number of things you could have done wrong along the way that we would not know about and you don't have enough experience to tell us where you might have messed up. It's kinda hard to help with something like that or have exact answers.

The normal fix for this is to flash stock firmware, you don't have that option so you're in uncharted territory for that device. Unless someone has already messed up a device like yours and then fixed it and made a guide, then there's nothing we can point at to help you.

You've put yourself in a position that you aren't going to find an "easy fix" or "simple guide".

[General Questions and Answers] Sprouts2007:
i didnt do anything. i Rooted with KingRoot. installed the previously mentioned apps and used titaniu to backup phone per this forum which i now know was a waste of time and removed the bloateware. the phone shut down due to lack of battery and simply wouldnt turn back on. it loads to metroPCS splash screen and stays there. it isnt in boot loop. it gets to splash screen and stops and stays until it is reset manually. ive tried factory wipe and format. ive tried clearing cache multiple times. ive tried to boot into safe mode to no avail. hence the reason i am now here asking for help. i didnt try to flash anything custom or anything. and i wouldnt until i understood how to do it.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, you did something, we just don't know what because it was probably something that you did but overlooked due to a lack of knowledge and at the same time something that makes all the difference in the world for us because we do understand it. One of those "oh, you did THAT? how in the world and why in the world did you do that?"

If all you did was root, then install Titanium Backup and backup your apps and app data with Titanium Backup, then you wouldn't be in bootloop(yes, you're in bootloop whether you see it looping or not).

I can tell you that you probably messed up removing bloatware and removed a vital system app.
[General Questions and Answers] Sprouts2007:
if tahts the case why doesnt factory reset fix it? should a factory reset and format along with cache whipe fix it?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Factory reset in Android is not the same as factory reset in PC. In PC it restores a factory image to put everything back to factory specs, in android, factory reset only wipes the user installed stuff and doesn't change anything about the system partition, everything you messed with was in the system partition so whatever you did would remain unchanged after a factory reset.
[General Questions and Answers] Sprouts2007:
as long as no bad ROMs or KERNALS are flashed then a factory/hard rest should have set the phone back to factory. also it wont let me boot into anything by the restore more and when i try to load from recovery on SD card or bootloader or ADB method i cant push ANYTHING to the phone. answer that one. also if i did go near the CORE files and ONLY removed unwanted apps/bloatware. it shouldnt have affeced the operation of the OS.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, factory reset would not fix it, as I said, you modified the system partition and factory reset doesn't touch system in any way, shape, form or fashion. Only a flash will fix this or at least adb pushing/pulling to/from system partition.

No, there are system apps that if removed the device won't work, everything in the system is an app or uses an app. You need to learn more about the android operating system and how it works. You're looking at it like it's a windows PC and they are not anything even close to the same thing.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The specs you need to match are CPU-CPU, screen resolution-screen resolution, radio-radio, touchscreen-touchscreen, RAM-RAM, size of internal sdcard-size of internal sdcard, SIM tray-SIM tray, SD card slot-Sd card slot. Long story short, pretty much every hardware component needs to be the same because in android, the kernel is built for those specific components and won't work with different components, its not like Windows where every piece of PC hardware uses the same Windows kernel so can switch hardware and software in pretty much any configuration you want, or generic drivers that work with just about every component of that type, such as generic video drivers that work with just about any video hardware. Android is not like that at all.
[General Questions and Answers] Sprouts2007:
could you perhaps elaborate on the ADB push to the phone? i have not found a single clear guide to doing that. each one ismissing pieces or they all send you to different places and tell you to use different loaders and flashers. some dont work some are fake. nothng is clear. even Apple JB was clear. there were only handful of developers and they all used one of only a few app store mirrors to get apps and manage the springboard. and most of the time unless you KNOW which loaders go which which ther pieces nothing works and there isnt a single place that all the needed items are in one place with clear steps. EVERY one sends you to 5+ sites to get the programs and 10+ other sites fort he files and then they contant repeat or arent clear as to what goes where or when. OR they are WRONG. nearly EVERY please quotes the steps to enter recovery mode incorrectly. it seams as though everything is written around only 3 or 4 devices and left up to peopl trying to learn the key strokes for thier phone. and ya'll are doing the same things. i was very specific in what i needed and youve been vague or dismissive. explain how to push ADB or APK files to the phone because i have been attempting that for MONTHS and have yet to make it work. or if you are so good at this maybe walk me though creating a custom ROM to flash. if each thing on android is an app and build for a secific function it would go to reason that you would use the piece for RAM from a phone that has same RAM and a piece from antoher device with same CPU and so on and Frankenstien a ROM. or perhaps tell me why if u use the opposite key stroke than what i would use to boot into recovery it boots like normal with the excetion than at the bottom of the screen drawn over the word "android" it says 'official'? these are all things that i have not found anwers for.

Instructions for using adb

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2141817

The reason why it appears like the guides only cover 3-4 devices and seems like the rest need to be figured out is because that's exactly how it is. There is info for considerably more than 3-4 devices but what I'm saying is, you'll only find guides and info for devices that someone has already tinkered with. You have to understand that it's usually developers that put these things together and developers only mess with device they own. You talk as if there are developers out there that just sit around waiting for every new device so they can start developing on them and writing guides. That's not it at all, you'll only find info on devices that those "in the know" have messed with. If you want a device that you can find that kind of infomation on then choose a better device the next time, one that developers would actually be interested in putting this kind of stuff together for.

With the kind of device you have there just isn't a lot of information or support for it.

I understand that you've been specific but that doesn't mean there is a specific answer that I can say "here is what you need". If you had chosen to do this on a device that is more known and has available softwares then things would be different for you.

And since you don't have a stock firmware available that means there is probably not a stock source code to release, stock source code is needed to build a custom ROM so that option is out. Porting a ROM isn't going to work either because that requires stock firmware. You're in a position that you'll have to find a developer to put something together for you or gather extensive developer skills pretty quickly and put it together yourself. Sorry, you just picked the wrong device to try this on.

You screwed up a device that the "specific" things needed to fix it don't exist so you're gonna have to research and piece it all together for yourself. We are not masters of every device out there, how things are done is different for all of them.

You're messing around in a world that you not only don't understand, you don't even understand how much you don't understand it.

Backup the apps you want to keep and their data plus any other personal data you want to keep such as contacts, pics, videos, music, etc.. etc..

Then boot to recovery and factory reset(DO NOT FACTORY RESET FROM ANDROID SYSTEM SETTINGS, use recovery), reboot the device then restore your backed up apps and data.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If a Google search for:

"How to root (your model number)"

Gave you no results then there is no known method to root your device.

First, you need to find out if you have a locked bootloader, if it's locked, you'll have to unlock it before you can do anything. After unlocking the bootloader you can flash a custom recovery. Do a Google search for:

"Custom recovery for (your model number)"

Or

"TWRP for (your model number)"

Then flash it via whatever flash tool your device uses.

Then boot into custom recovery and flash the newest version of SuperSU.zip. Do a Google search for:

"SuperSU.zip"

Some devices have to flash SuperSU in systemless mode. Try normal SuperSU and systemless SuperSU, one should work.

Or, if there is no custom recovery for your model number, try all the universal rooting apps and universal rooting tools on PC. Try them all and hope one of them works.
