I've another question, enough easy. Can I make and save a log on this recovery? I saw we can see a log but I don't see if it's doable to save on the SD. I would like to see this contents on my PC.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
Looking at it closer, I have a few doubts

We'll end up with:

I find it a bit heavy where I was looking at simplifying things!

An option is to force the cache wipe with dalvik, but I like to give users the freedom of selection.

Isn't the clean to install a new rom enough if you need cache and dalvik wipe?

I am open to discussion to decide on a best option
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RK:
+1 against forcing cache wipe with delvik. Some ppl like to dual boot where the entire second ROM is installed on cache partition. Its only a couple of extra clicks to do both together anyways if you don't want to clutter the menu.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
E.g. if I would flash a new kernel - for example KT's - it's recommended to wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing the kernel, that's why I was asking for that combined option (wipe cache and dalvik cache).

If I remember right, in the old speedmod days, there had already been a option to wipe cache+dalvik cache!? :screwy:

But if it would end up to heavy, I am also fine if it stays as it is - no problem. :)

Lost My IMEI

I did a full wipe with V6.51.4 and followed by installing Wanam V2.9. Now I found my IMEI and Serial No. gone missing! I had an efs backup on SDCard but lost it when I did a factory Reset! Tried a few programs (EFS Pro; WRITEIMEI and Z3X Samsung Tools) to fix the IMEI but none seem to work. Sigh...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] franzyroy:
I think it has nothing to do with recovery. You can try to reflash an official firmware with ODIN to recover your lost IMEI.

You should always think to keep a IMEI backup in location somewhere else that phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KenHua:
I suppose it was probably caused by a combination of factors, just not sure what they are. I have used Philz's Recovery for a long time and this is the first time that I've encountered this. If I'm not mistaken Wanam did warn before that certain recovery may cause corruption to EFS but can't remember exactly what he said. May be I misunderstood it completely. Anyway I have got my IMEI back with the help of Samsung Service Center here. I really appreciate their great help despite my 0x1 KNOX.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] franzyroy:
Glad for you! However, I rarely heard (even never) a custom Recovery done that. But a flash rom, though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KenHua:
Thanks, I never had a problem either until this time but then again I'm not suggesting that it was caused by Recovery at all. It just happened to be one of the functions I did prior to losing my IMEI. Some people reported losing the IMEI even on un-rooted phones when they simply did a software update.

Now I keep two versions of EFS backups, one using Philz Recovery and the other using EFS Professional. I have one suggestion for Philz regarding the EFS backup. I though it would be great if we can have a separate EFS item on the Backup/Restore menu instead having it buried inside the Custom Backup. Backing up EFS requires exclusive access; it means we have to uncheck all the other items and check EFS before doing the backup. I think a separate EFS menu option is justified. Thanks for the Best Recovery!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Technical:
Awful experience with PhilZ today :mad:

Tried to restore three nandroids and all fail. All md5 generation/check worked. But all restore said "cannot restore data".

I know my "data" is huge (as I have dualboot) but with md5 generation and check working I never thought it will let me down... :crying:

My nandroids were compressed and saved in the external sdcard if these make any difference...

Deep thinking on moving to TWRP...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RK:
I doubt that will help. Sounds like your SD card had some issues. I switched to philz from twrp because I was facing data corruption issues. Multiple times I backed up with twrp only to find it was corrupted half an hour later when I tried to restore. Philz worked perfect on the same card..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Technical:
But I'm facing no other issue or data corruption with any other app besides PhilZ restore... Also, no errors while backing up, only on restore.

The situation is not reliable...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cdzo72:
I've never had any issue with PhilZ doing the same... all my backups are done on my external SDs... some I compress and some I don't. Generally I don't compress though.

But if you want CONSTANT pains in the ass then go right ahead and switch to TWRP. You'll be back pretty quick

With TB I can only extract app/data not restore a full nandroid.

With Nandroid Manager is possible to restore a nandroid.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Technical:
Thanks. Will try to figure out. Right now I have 3.6Gb free in my internal sdcard.

What should be placed there when I restore? All nandroid files?

I've though the restoration occurs directly in the same partition, i.e., system go to system and not to the sdcard...

Indeed, with dual boot and lots of apps, the data.ext4.tar file of the nandroid is the huge one, with 5Gb. Should it be decompressed before the files are being replaced or this is done on-the-fly?

Phil any idea if device encryption is supported.?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
6.55.0

This should fix the bug when restoring a custom ROM

The bug is caused by md5 check failing since we moved to inline md5 sources. PhilZ Touch is more restrictive than stock CWM when md5 check is enabled

If someone can test it, it will be great

Full backup is way faster on the latest version. High compression took 6:19min. Backup size: 781.05mb. Compression: 43.67%.

Way faster than no compression on version 6.53.9 :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KenHua:
Your ROM is tiny :good:.

In terms of backup and restore speed, version 5.18.9 was the best that I have tried so far. For a backup size of 1.8GB (original size 3.0GB) with fast compression (~40%) it takes just over 3 minutes (progress set to hidden). Restore is even faster!

Edit: Tested 6.55.0 and the speed is indeed better than the recent betas -- 8:31mins for backup size of 1883MB (39.2% compression) onto internal storage.

Dear Philz, I've a question about setting the system date and time. I've no problem with it inside Recovery but have a problem when rebooting up the phone. Each time the date would be shown as 2014 Jan 14. Fortunately it would sync to the correct date after network (WiFi or Mobile) is connected. Using your Set Date and Time option I found that the Jan 14 date is stored in the Qualcomm Daemon thingy. Is there any way to update it so that the system date would be correct during booting up? I'm sure it is not a problem with Recovery but thought you might be able to help me or point me to the right direction. I Google'd "Qualcomm Daemon" but to no avail. Thank you sir,
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sronweb:
I just installed Phil recovery to compare with other recoveries about the time to backup and restore. I have a 2 roms in dual boot on S4 and it take around 20 minutes to backup. Restore is running right now and its more than one hour and not finished yet.

I used default settings for now. I'd like to understand how to get reasonable time for restoring.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lzk123:
The time I stated is the amount of time that it took for backup, not restore. And I have never tried dualbooting before, so I'm not sure how it works. Isn't the partitions different or something?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sronweb:
It's related to this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2447534&highlight=remove+second+rom

Basically the roms are patched and you can use empty space on the partitions to install as primary, secondary or multislot roms.

Then if I have 2 roms the used space is almost double as another user with single rom (I say almost because you can share also app between the roms!).

Right before I noticed that defaul Phil CWM settings does not act as TWRP then I have tried now different settings, I have added minimum compression level,, I have selected to backup all partitions, etc. to compare the backup/restore time.

PS: backup size is 4.23 Gb with back up in less than 30 minutes and restore in 16 minutes. Fine!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sronweb:
I have tried also to reinstall my primary rom "Shostock 8" which is patched to prevent to wipe the secondary rom.

Using TWRP I have no issue but if I install from Philz kernel I get a set_perm error 7 and installation is aborted.
