Havw a question for the s4 community, is there a native disable option to disable the annoying "warning volume limit may harm "popup when trying to raise the Vol+ on the s4 via 3.5 head jack to a car radio.

Every time I try to volume up my pandora radio in my truck that pops up only way to Vol up is to hit cancel every time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Monkz:
xposed or 3Minit frameworks can allow you to disable it, or installing a custom ROM often includes this option to disable the warning.

For sola and U it's also not available ;) The just released CM9 FXP 229 only for 2011 devices, thought. But I'm not sure
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stiven68:
It seems that you are right: however, it is possible to apply the security fix installing the Xposed framework and the Master Key dual fix module.

I was using odin to flash cwm in order to root my s3 and instead of clicking pda I clicked bootloader and flashed it. Phone still works but in recovery it cannot mount the sdcard int or ext to root.

So what did u do to fix it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] twizzles:
There apparently was some sort of update by sprint that kept cwm recovery from mounting sdcard and internal memory. There is a fixed recovery method on xda somewhere that allowes access so I then flashed the stock rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gndlgisdbna:
I have done bricking my phone similarly a couple of times but ODIN saved me. I had to install the stock recovery and stock ROM a couple of time repeatedly to get it back to working state. Then, installed the CWM recovery and rooted the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] twizzles:
Cwm only worked once for me. Next time I went to used it it would say could not mount sd card or even the int. After reading on here there was a post about it and someone modified it so it would mount and could be used. Saved my ass lol

Hi/Hello/good evening!

I have a broken MTK phone waiting for spareparts and one backup file from its SDCard made with CWM

name userdata_20130615_140224.backup where I need to extract contact data from.

How to do it?

I have been searching a whole while now but could not find one single post about opening this archive.

Pls help!

Thank you,

[General Questions and Answers] ektoric:
It's a 512 byte header in front of a "tar.gz"

hexdump -C userdata_xxxxxxxx_yyyyyy.backup | less​

showed the magical zip header "1f8b0800 00000000" at offset 0x200

So, skipping 512 bytes, the rest can be gunzip | tar

dd if=userdata_xxxxxxxx_yyyyyy.backup bs=512 skip=1 | gunzip -c | tar xv​
[General Questions and Answers] pbhj:
dd if=/home/user/_backups/E380-android-phone/userdata_20160126_223433.backup bs=512 skip=1 > /home/user/_backups/E380-android-phone/userdata_20160126_223433.backup.dd-out.tar.gz

Worked for me. Then just used KDE's archive opener (Ark) to view the files, looks to have everything in there except keys and whatnot.

i came up two years ago with same question, how to unpack, and ended up with learning linux. i have uploaded a bash script, but i don't know if it works. i am not a developer and still learning, and nobody give feedback.

what is exactly file name of your backup? suffix *.ab or *.backup? these are completely different, don't mix up tools.

if you mean userdata_20180313_161000.backup files, please try mini tut above beginning 1.

You have 100 posts and 25 thanks - super rate for notdeveloper.
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
the tool in video (adbextractor) can not unpack your backup. your backup is a splitted ext4 partition image. OSFMount can open ext4 partition images from Windows

bckp2cwm.sh script is basically doing the same steps like mini tutorial above. unfortunately it is for linux. main goal is convert userdata*.backup to cwm backup, but its paused in the middle (after unpacking, before repacking)

as windows user, all you need is a usb-stick. there is a tool unetbootin running in windows. it is a one-click-solution for downloading and copying any linux distribution to usb-stick. you can boot into linux from this usb-stick, for example ubuntu

Solution for Windows

1. Download and install free hhd hex editor neo.

2. Open each of your .backup files, in select menu select range at 0 offset size 512 decimal, delete and save.

3. Use Windows copy command to join files as described in post#11 (Thanks to the author for free education).

4. Use any program that reads Linux disk image files. I used diskinternals (mount image from the drive menu first). Openext worked too.

This won't work on tar archives if I understand correctly. This took me days to figure out and only minutes to execute. No thanks to confusing android prompts while upgrading to a new OS.

on which step exactly? if step 8 fails, you probably run out of disk space, or target not a NTFS formatted disk
[General Questions and Answers] NoClueDave:
Yes sir, it is on step 8. We tried using the steps on post #19 as a shortcut to do the steps 1-7 in that you included in your post but through using the hhd hex editor neo program because we use windows. Now when it comes to step 8, the merge processes only 2 backup files and then gives following error:

ERROR Verify - userdata 20160101_000328.img

0 file(s) copied

What could be wrong? Any way to fix this?
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
it is a memory problem, either RAM or disk space, or fat32 file size limitation (4 GiB)
[General Questions and Answers] NoClueDave:
Thank you for response, i don't think it is my RAM or disk space( i have 12gb ram and more than a 100gb disk space). I think it is the fat32 file size limitation because the image file i was left with when the merge process stopped was at 4GiB.

I have 14 .BACKUP FILE parts which come to a total of (26.7 GiB)

. How do i increase the limitation so that it merges all fourteen of my back up files?
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
you can't change that per design. please double check file system type is FAT32 (Windows usually is NTFS)

did you run it from C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe or Powershell?
[General Questions and Answers] NoClueDave:
I ran it from the C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe command prompt.
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
try `cat` command from Powershell (works also from linux) if you rename files into natural order with leading zeros you can use asterisk * instead, but make sure > newfile gets a different file name and does not match the pattern

cat file001 file002 file003 > newfile
cat file* > newfile

edit: another option you could skip the copy /v verify flag
[General Questions and Answers] NoClueDave:
Hello, thanks for the tip! I was struggling to input that command in powershell but failed because it kept giving me following error:

Get-Content : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'userdata_20160101_000328.backup1'.

I tried to google what it means but could not understand so i got frustrated and gave up using a windows terminal. Then i found out that i could use a linux terminal(Ubuntu) on my windows machine so i downloaded ubuntu from the microsoft store, used that 'cat' command on the ubuntu terminal and it worked, plus it is way faster! Funny enough when i now use the edited cat command you gave (cat file* > newfile) in powershell, it works but very slow.

Now i am having a new problem with extracting the .img file. Nothing seems to work!

---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

I tried almost all suggested softwares for extracting: OSF Mount, Linux disk Internals, 7zip, Daemon tools... all of them failed to open or read the file. I even tried again from the beginning and still failed when it comes to extracting it. I even tried this method from youtube using the ubuntu terminal: https://youtu.be/cY4cKKimEFU and still i am unsuccessful in extracting my file whether it is an .img or an .ext4. How can i solve this?
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
you must not do both commands. It is just different examples of the same command

in your case you can only do the first, because you didn't rename userdata_20160101_000328.backup1 -> userdata_20160101_000328.backup001 (and so on)

cat userdata_20160101_000328.backup* > data.img will not work, because it sorts like

userdata_20160101_000328.backup1

userdata_20160101_000328.backup10

userdata_20160101_000328.backup11

userdata_20160101_000328.backup9

also please make sure you have deleted the first 512 bytes of each file correctly

edit: btw running linux from windows seems much more complicated to me, than running Ubuntu from DVD or usb flash drive directly. There you could run the script i wrote which does delete the 512 bytes and concatenate files without hassling with typing ugly long commands in a stupid terminal ;)
[General Questions and Answers] NoClueDave:
But they were already numbered except for the first backup file which is: userdata_20160101_000328.backup then the following thirteen files are numbered as userdata_20160101_000328.backup1 userdata_20160101_000328.backup2 userdata_20160101_000328.backup3.... and so on. Either way i will stick to the first example when i try from the beginning again.

Is it possible to run the script you wrote through the linux terminal in windows? i am not keen on running ubuntu from dvd or flash because i've never done it before and i'm afraid of crashing my laptop if something goes wrong. i'm a noob when it comes to these things. lol :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
you don't understand, there is a difference between numbering backup1 or backup001, please read again more careful. also make sure the header is deleted exactly 512 bytes, it will fail if there is one single byte more or less in any of each file. i recommend `dd` for doing this from cmd line, it's much more easier than with hex editor

i don't know if the script works in virtual linux, just try. anyway i won't have time to write a windows version, but feel free to publish a fork

if you boot linux from DVD this will not harm anything, it is not install just live session

Drivers it sounds like, assuming debugging is enabled and your computer is authorized by the GalNex.
