Hi

I have had a look on this thread for an answer to my question but havent found one as of yet. I am aware that the app is unsupported and thats fine, I just wanted to understand my options going forward with my device and backups.

I am on the latest 5.6.4 release of Resurrection ROM on my Galaxy S4 i9505 device and was wondering if online nandroid backup is supported on Marshmallow and specifically my device? The ROM is Based On Latest Google Android 6.0.1 Release Based On Cyanogenmod 13.

The reason I ask is I have it installed however it doesn't seem to be able to create backup. If I start a new backup it immediately says it has completed. I use nandroid manager to view my nandroid backups and there not showing on there.

Is this a problem similar to what I had with titanium backup and had to provide r/w permissions to the SD card as I am trying to save the backup to SD as I did this on LL and it worked really well and was able to backup and restore.

I noticed from reading the forums and looking at the play store that development for this app has come to a halt? if that is the case is there an equivalent app which is better suited for backups and restores of root devices?

As I play around a lot with rooted ROMs I would like the ability to restore and backup ROMs if I dont like it rather than relaying on something like TB where I need to restore a ROM and then the apps and data.

Appreciate any response on this.

Thanks

Just boot into recovery and make backups the old fashioned way.
[Android Apps and Games] ranjb:
Thanks, an I right in thinking that the app ROM manager premium version will allow automate backups by loading into recovery backup and then reboot as a scheduled plan?
[Android Apps and Games] Technical:
Maybe only in CWM recovery.

Rom Manager Pro never worked for me... Not in TWRP...

[Android Apps and Games] Snah:
TWRP Manager has a pay-addon called Live Backup that's supposed to be able to do a backup without rebooting into recovery. Haven't tried it though.

[Written by my thumbs on a state-of-the-art Nokia 3110.]
[Android Apps and Games] Technical:
No, it does not worth.

1. The script only backups to internal storage (the author says it's a TWRP v3 limitation). It can't use external sdcard or OTG.

2. When trying to run, even in the internal, the app froze.

I've asked for a refund.
[Android Apps and Games] Snah:
Ok. Sorry about that. Good thing you tested. Hope you will get a refund and that there will be a replacement app soon.

[Written by my thumbs on a state-of-the-art Nokia 3110.]
[Android Apps and Games] Technical:
No problems with the refund as Google did it for me.

The developer get in contact by email. I've answered him, but, after that, nothing more happened... :p
[Android Apps and Games] Snah:
Alright, good. . Hope they have an ambition to develop the feature. I know several other developersn have had problems with using the external SD on Marshmallow.

I think so.

This app is abandoned and not being developed anymore...

Dang just realized its a dead project. Shame
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
It's dead but still works acceptably for some devices/ROMs. Before you give up completely, go to Settings/Default Backup Settings/Save Location and try a different path since a plain "/sdcard" doesn't work for you. It might need "/mnt/sdcard", "/storage/emulated/0" or something similar. If you have Root Explorer (everyone should)!, see what it uses as "sdcard" and try that location. If that doesn't work, do yourself a favor and simply backup regularly from your custom recovery (TWRP?). Having to keep your phone offline for a few minutes won't hurt and it'll give you a drastically more dependable backup. Whatever you do, remember that a backup is useless unless you can restore from it, so make a good TWRP offline backup before trying anything else. Good luck! ;)

[Android Apps and Games] ArgentSun:
ONB seems to be failing the detect my device properly. Going to the menu and choosing Apply Patch decides that I am using an Acer Iconia A200 with device code jgedlte, which is pretty far from the truth (T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4). I am reporting this here because I use a custom ROM (VirginROM v2.0), and my current model number (GT-I9505G) is different from my original one (SGH-M919)... so I am not sure which patch to apply. Or if it makes any difference.
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
Select the T-Mobile GS4 patch.
[Android Apps and Games] ArgentSun:
Thanks, that'll help a lot. I've ran into similar issues trying to use other root-dependent apps, I assume it's safe(-ish) to stick with my original device model (SGH-M919) and codename (jfltetmo), yes?

last version (s?) do not make backup at all. Unknown location and finishes in 0 sec.

No difference after changing the shell.

Exit code [2]

It seems that it is not installing the script nor patch anymore. Ofc it has root privileges etc.

From about a month i have to use twrp which is sth I do not want to do as it keeps increasing my flash counter.

Seems the author fixed bugs for some devices causing further bugs for other devices.

I regret buying nandroid manager pro then....

EDIT:

When running thru the other shell it is error code 127.

Changing busybox from built in to external does not help.

Morever when i click install thru settings, the option to remove onandroid appears. Then i click remove and... toast appears that i have not instaled the script.

Whats goin on?

It should never take that long to backup up the device. Make sure you have the correct device patch installed for your device if one is required. Also I would try going into the settings, click on busybox and select use busybox provided by system.

[Android Apps and Games] ameer1234567890:
Xperia devices do not require boot and recovery partitions for a nandroid backup. Your CWM would also not back it up. So, your backup should just be fine.

As it stated - there is no patch for LT18i. In facts thanks to other users that give me some info, there is no /boot partition and due to this is error.

By support I mean that the app doesn't recognise the device. Backups appear to work OK but I'm not 100% reliant on them at the moment.

When using mount2sd and specifying /sd-ext as the path for the sd partition all the apps and data are backed up twice...once in /data and once in /sd-ext resulting in a backup twice the normal size. Is there a way to limit this while still having a valid backup to restore?
[Android Apps and Games] ameer1234567890:
It is extremely difficult to suggest anything without a log file.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
I browsed the log file and didn't see anything that's going to tell you more than what I said but it's attached.

Are you attempting to be cute? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44477074&postcount=132 That post has the onadroid log attached as a txt file that was a backup of both /data and /sd-ext. If you want a different "log" such as a logcat then please specify because to the best of my knowledge I had already provided the log before you asked for it.
[Android Apps and Games] ameer1234567890:
Am I not clear? I need a log file of a backup where you have manually specified sd-ext.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
The log file I already attached IS that one...but since that doesn't seem to be coming across I'll attach it again. I manually specified the path of /sd-ext for the following backup/log:

I'm not sure it even matters as you just got done telling me in another thread that I should stick with CWM or TWRP. I think instead I'll just only backup sd-ext and not /data and keep a copy of mount2sd on the sdcard which I can install to mount the sd-ext on a restore.
[Android Apps and Games] ameer1234567890:
Yes, your best bet would be to stick with CWM or TWRP. But still, I am ready to look into this in detail and try to find a solution.

The log you attached does not have sd-ext manually specified.
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
I don't know what to tell you...I went into online nandroid...selected custom backup....selected the partitions to backup...and ran it. If you want something else ran I'm willing to give it a go...if you want it ran at command line level I'd need an example onandroid command line to give you what you want as I've been using obackup and online nandroid.
[Android Apps and Games] ameer1234567890:
You need to specify "/sd-ext" as path to sd-ext in advanced partitions.
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
Sorry for the late response but if you go into the app settings and click on Request Device Patch you can send an email to ameer who will be able to create a device patch for your device.

seems to work with no cmw or twrp installed

hi,

surely one of the best apps of all time! i will definitely donate upon successful restoration.

i thought i'd try it on my samsung s2 gt i9100 upgraded to official 4.1.2 via Odin and routed.

from reading various instructions, i had assumed that i would need to install cmw or twrp first, but i gave it a go anyway.

it ticked through, recognised the phone, seemed to find what it needed and took a few minutes to complete the various backup operations.

to my surprise, it seems to have worked in creating both cmw and twrp backups.

can this be true?

have i installed cmw or twrp without knowing and how can i check?

i'm a bit nervous to attempt a restore.

is it safe to try it?

if it goes wrong, can i reflash with odin?

can i flash the nandroid backups with odin?

i can post log files if necessary, where are they located?

thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] meduza:
Nandroid Manager or ROM Manager will showe you the installed recovery.

If there is no backup, it will not work to restore it :)

m.
[Android Apps and Games] peace2k:
thanks for the prompt reply.

nandroid manager shows both the cwm and twrp backups i made.

is it safe to try restoring them?

do i need cwm or twrp installed?

if so, how can i check if they are?

thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] meduza:
...so I guess, you have a recovery installed :)

Like I wrote, those apps showe the installed recovery.

m.
[Android Apps and Games] peace2k:
Thanks again.

excuse my ignorance but i'm still confused.

as far as i know i didnt install cwm, twrp or any recovery.

does odin install cwm/twrp? or did the rom i installed include them?

Nandroid Manager shows the system backups that i made using Online Nandroid.

sorry to ask the same question again but how can i detect whether twrp or cwm are installed?

will it tell me if i boot into recovery mode using the 3 button combo?
[Android Apps and Games] meduza:
Pleast take a exact look at NM or RM it will show the installed recovery & version!!

Usually you install the recovery via odin or if you have one already, you flash the new one as a zip via the old one.

m.

PS.

Ofcourse if you boot in to recovery (3 button combo) the recovery suppose to show its version too.
[Android Apps and Games] peace2k:
wow, thanks for your patience, i think i'm finally starting to get it.

in NM, at the bottom of the 'Recovery' tab it says:

'Detected Recovery : Unknown / Stock Recovery'

does that mean the 'Online Nandroid' backups i made are invalid?

and/or do i need to install cwm/twrp in order to create/restore the backups?
[Android Apps and Games] meduza:
...then the backups are probably not real backups or something...

The best will be, you decide for CWM or TWRP recovery, flash it and perform a backup. Than you are 100% at the safe side :)

m.
[Android Apps and Games] peace2k:
just as an update:

i went for PhilZ cwm recovery for my build number and it seems to have gone well.

the first time i ran nandroid manager it still showed the same 'unknown/stock recovery'.

the second time it showed PhilZ recovery! phew

i've done the backup again and i'm now contemplating which rom to try.

thanks again for the advice.
[Android Apps and Games] meduza:
Glad to hear that everything worked out :)

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance on (rooted) stock ROM. I'm planning on installing Cyanogenmod or something to make my device more responsive. I have the stock recovery installed (so no CWM/TWRP). In your app, I checked the CWM box (if I need to install a recovery it'll probably be CWM) and it seems to be backupping just fine now. I still don't really understand how I have to restore it and if it will really work if I mess up my device.

Some explanation would be very much appreciated ;)

(I am somewhat new to this. Never installed a custom rom before (though I did have CWM on my previous phone))

Thanks!

I have been using this perfect app for a long time and it always worked for me. A few days ago, before flashing a mod I wanted to make a nandroid backup. So I did everything as usually, but it didn't work. It finished making backup in a second and of course there was no proper backup made. I tried to change the shell, as it was suggested, but with no luck. I tried to clear the cache of the app and even reinstall it. It was working fine a few days ago, and now I cannot make a backup. Can you help me? I'm on HTC One X with MaximusHD 21.1.0.

Hi!

I'm using Tasker

(onandroid -nd -c DailyBackup -r) to trigger the backup.

Unfortunately this backup is always saved in the first mountpoint which is the mounted cache folder of Google Play Music (which I mount at boot time via tasker).

My question therefore would be:

How can I 'exclude' this path in the above mentioned shell command!

Thanks :)

Try installing another busybox from Play Store.

This is already possible by creating a file named .advanced_backup_partitions at /sdcard/clockworkmod or /sdcard/TWRP with partition letters required. Refer here for more information. https://github.com/ameer1234567890/OnlineNandroid/wiki/For-Developers#backup-format-indicators

I've been using this for a while without problems but today when I tried to run a new backup it told me that it needs to run the script again because something replaced it.
