Using the option "Clone ROM to update.zip" to sdcard1 frozen the recovery at the end of the process.

And, yes, I have enough free space in sdcard1.

Hi.. When I do a wipe data (factory reset), it will also wipe the external card? Because I saw that in the list above the "No" button, that is written also sd-ext on Philz 6.56.2
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Nimueh:
It only wipes stuff on the internal, NOT on the external card ;)

i dont think its affected because Philz recovery its based on that CWM recovery ,maybe some extra options ...but as you saw it he changed the for months jflexx to JFLTE so it should be fine .... we all need to wait until monday if the new release is here i think nobody knows more only the CM team but they have a working recovery so just use that

actually the only thing we have a WORKING recovery ,but no roms /except CM/ or kernels .... and its always like that its a new start :D

Hi Phil

https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jflte/philz_touch_6.54.9-jflte.zip/

^ Is this the latest and recommend version for i9505?

I want to upgrade to this rom for 2 reasons

1. I want to backup my EFS/IMEI

2. I currently use latest CWM standard version and the /system expects 5 arguments error is very annoying.

I'm thinking of trying out shostock8 TW based rom, having been on 4.4.4 google play edition rom, which has problems with random restarts occuring every 2 days.

There is something I don't understand on Philz Touch recovery. When I select a backup to restore it appear the list with last avaialble backup (for i.e. 2014-08-10.16.51.etc) then I select last one, then I have the full list of the files inside the back up even if I lilke to restore the entire backup.

Basically I should select one of the archives:

- and-sec.vfat.win000

- and-sec.vfat.win000.md5

- boot.emmc.win.md5

- boot.emmc.win

- cache....etc

I remember using CWM in the past that I should have a simple option to select the entire file name and start. Which setting I should use to get a simple restore option for the entire backup?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Nimueh:
I'm on 6.55.0 and when I go to "Backup and Restore" - "Restore from /storage/sdcard1" I have to select the backup I want to restore, then confirm it and it restores the whole thing. I don't think the newer version is any different.

Make sure you're not selecting "Custom Restore from /storage/sdcard1" farther down ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
Aren't you trying to perform a custom restore?

The process is as simple as it gets: Backup and Restore -> Restore /storage/[XXX], then go!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sronweb:
No custom restore. I'm considering if is due to TWRP mode selected. I know with TWRP setting you can use the same folder as TWRP instead of CWR but I don't know if change something more. Are you using this parameter? Thanks

PS: deselecting TWRP mode on backup/restore advanced setting is working as expected.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bejda:
Once again (sorry it's not just you ;) ) i don't know why S4 users go into such gymnastic when it comes to boot into recovery/download mode.

Try this please:

Boot device normally but right after boot vibration (no need for a special haste though, within a little second let's say) just press/maintain vol up for recovery or vol down for download mode.

Philz doesn't automatically root your device but has an option to install SuperSu.

I got the intelligent idea to try out a new rom and made a backup of some apps, but for some intelligent reason I stored it on the internal memory.

....Without thinking of the issue to restoring it from intSD which is gone now... Lucky I made a backup.

Now is it possible to restore only some files instead of restoring the backup?

Ok, I'd like some quick help please. I finally chose the option to toggle ext4 to f2fs, manually formatted all my partitions and tried first to restore my backup which failed at the system partitiona nd then I tried to flash new rom which stays frozen on the Samsung logo at boot.

I toggled back to ext4, formatted everything back to ext4, tried to restore which failed at same part and any attempt now to flash any rom with full wipe results in freezing at Samsung logo.

Any quick helpt to quickly recover my phone without having to flash stock ROM? (I just try to avoid it as I need my phone back fast)

EDIT:

OK I fixed it. Just formatted again 1-2 times, the last time allowed me to flash new ROM. My backup seems to have been broken though, I don't know if it is the one that caused the issues but I've been using the online backup lately for backup and I never really tested to restore before.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
The updater-script coming with your ROM installer must format to f2fs. Else, your're back to ext4 on /system while other partitions are f2fs

Also, ROM must have an f2fs compatible kernel obviously
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasy:
Thanks, actually I did my reading but understood a few things wrong and took for granted. Now I realize what was wrong. I thought that newer kernels already had built-in support.

Anyway, I'm fine now without having to go the long way.

I wonder though why my backup which I ran with the online backup was corrupt. Do you think it's safer to backup from within recovery or should it be the same?
