[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gleggie:
Sorry if this has been answered before, but I haven't been able to get a definative explanation of the safest way to update to ME7.

Right now I'm running TWRP, with Carbon v1.8 (stable) and baseband I545VRUAMDK. Does updating your radio/baseband to ME7 affect the kernel? Or do you have to flash a custom kernel to switch to ME7? What's the advantage of flashing a custom ME7 kernel as opposed to the stock MDK kernel?

Sorry for so many questions, i'm just nervous about losing my loki'd recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
You do not want an ME7 kernel due to the lockdown (at least yet).

You can safely flash the radio. It is separate from the ROM and the kernel.

You can safely flash any of the several ME7 ROMs from the dev section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gleggie:
Thanks for the quick reply, are there specific instructions for only flashing the Radio? Is it just a flashable zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
andybones has been nice enough to make flashable files for both the MDK & ME7 radios. You can find them both in post #2 from the BoneStock thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2384362.

You flash them from recovery much the same as you would a ROM. No need to do a full wipe though - at least as far as I know.
[Nexus 4 General] klvnhng:
Making sdcard backups with MTP is often unreliable. First of all, files are not always immediately updated with the ones on your phone. As a result, there may be folders missing, files that you deleted on your phone still showing up, etc. Also, the Date modified values of files are changed to the time that the files were moved onto your computer, which can cause errors when restoring them to your phone; i.e. photos in gallery not appearing in order. Other times, MTP is simply not available (if you have an older computer or an unsupported OS, for example). The best way to go about a backup is by using adb (Android Debug Bridge).

So, let's get started.

1. First, you're going to need some variant of the Android SDK/Software Development Kit as well as the Nexus 4 drivers installed. I won't show you how to do this, as there are already many guides and tutorials available.

Here's the link to the official Google ADT/Android Developer Tools.

2. Once you've got everything on your computer set up, open up the Settings app and go to About phone. Scroll down and quickly tap the Build number tile seven times. You have now enabled Developer options.

Go back, enter Developer options and enable USB debugging. An authorization pop-up will appear; allow it.

3. Now, open up a command prompt window and change directory to the location of adb on your computer. If you installed the official SDK, this will be under

folderyouextractedto\sdk\platform-tools

Connect your phone via USB and type

adb devices

You should see something like this:

List of devices attached
random numbers and letters	device

If you don't, you probably don't have the drivers installed properly OR you failed to authorize your computer for USB debugging.

4. Make a folder on C:\ (or whatever your OS drive is) with NO SPACES in the file name. You can now make the backup.

Type

adb pull /storage/sdcard0/ C:\folderyoumade

You are now backing up your entire sdcard. This can take a while, depending on how many files you have on your phone.

When the copy is complete, you should see something like

x files pulled. 0 files skipped.

0 files skipped is very important, as it confirms that all of the files were copied over correctly.

To backup specific folders on it, simply change the command to that directory on your phone.

i.e.

adb pull /storage/sdcard0/folderyouwant/ C:\folderyoumade

5. To restore a backup, simply type

adb push C:\folderyoumade /storage/sdcard0/

Remember, this is only an sdcard backup. App and system data are NOT copied over. If you want to make a backup of your app data, the easiest way to do this is with Titanium Backup, Helium, or a similar app and then backup those files using adb pull. If you wish to make a complete backup of your file system (not including sdcard though), make a nandroid from recovery.
[Nexus 4 General] apfelstyle:
Good method if MTP failes or crashes! :) Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] FantasticalX:
Thanks! :D
[Nexus 4 General] nphone:
I get remote object '/storage/sdcard0' not a file or directory when I try pull. Help?:crying:
[Nexus 4 General] klvnhng:
You forgot the frontslash at the end of 0. Try that
[Nexus 4 General] scandiun:
On some devices you can't specify destiny forlder in order to use adb push or pull, you have to use current folder:

cd C:\folderyoumade
adb pull /storage/sdcard0/folderyouwant/

It's better to backup the sdcard this way than using adb backup because it also backups the Android folder inside the sdcard.
[Nexus 4 General] yethz:
Or much shorter;

adb pull /sdcard C:\SDCARDBackUp

Is there a way for pull to skip files which already exist in your specified destination? Sometimes it errors in the middle of a long transfer because it doesn't like a file name or something.
[Nexus 4 General] jbfountain:
I was looking for a better way to push my virtual sd card backup, as using the copy and paste method in windows doesn't copy all of the files for some reason. It will copy all the files from the sd card to the PC, but not back again. I was having to search through every folder and copy and paste to get everything copied back. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I knew about adb push command, but I never tried it, because I always thought the copy and paste method would be easier. Boy was I wrong. This way pushes all the files in one try. Soooo much easier.
[Nexus 4 General] DylonSaaied:
I have a question, can I also backup this file directory: /storage/emulated/0? Or is this something else, I checked both folder and they seem to be the same.
[Nexus 4 General] NikoBe00:
Hi,

I've done a full backup using adb backup, including the whole content of my sd card (using the -shared option).

However, when restoring my device using adb restore, nothing is restored on my sd card (not the apps and not the files).

Am I doing something wrong?

Is there any special option to use for the restore?

Is there any other way to restore my apps&data from my backup file (.ab) using other commands ?

The content of my backup file seems correct though.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] jason2042:
Sounds like the adb backup didnt copy the /storage/sdcard0/android/ folder on the sdcard perhaps? Maybe try using adb pull to copy the scdard seperately in addition to doing the adb backup to be safe. You could push the sdcard data back manually if the restore doesnt. See below:
[Nexus 4 General] dimmu.borgir:
it doesnt work
[Nexus 4 General] g3ck08:
Why?

I font understand why is the front slash required?

I also forgot the front slash and was facing the same problem. Now its working after adding the front slash.

So, why is the front slash required and what does it mean ?:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] patrickdrd:
can I backup the sd card even if it is external using this method (apps are moved there too)?

edit: ok, I got the android folder from sd card, the message was:

/storage/sdcard1/Android/: 147 files pulled. 0 files skipped.,

but how am I supposed to see them?

I contacted AppMgr III, maybe they can tell me

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lm_kevin:
Sure!

Well i did a lot of things but those which concern battery use were:

-After some trying other roms i noticed that .431 had better battery use and a lot of mods so i choose this one to make my perfect rom.

-Removed all bloatware and even some non bloatware system apps that i dont use (taken from several threads like this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1614761

, I experimented freezing some apps that i thought werent necessary but i didn t want to delete, like clockserivice.apk or even semcalendar.apk

-Installed New xperia JB 4.2 Adreno libs for our little arm cpu.

-Ive tried Greenify but it doesnt seem to work for me.(but my mini pro doesnt need it , its super fast)

-Most recently ive frozen SystemUI service "LoadAverageService" Which seems to take some unecessary RAM Use. (i havent had any problem)

-I've searched for those apps that are light , fast and RAM friendly (Nova launcher, quickpic, whatsapp+ , google keyboard, etc)

(replaced sony camera app with JB camera sony camera had some thumbnail bug)

-I dont use Facebook app everytime i install it my phone slows down.

-Moved most of apps to sd via ext partition ( Link2sd) ive only left in internal those one that i really need to be responsive like the app launcher

Also fixed most problems with .431 rom like the LED and some other things i really cant remember ( ive had this rom for so much time , that level of satisfaction i have)

In things not related to battery:

-Installed Stock AOSP FUll Black SystemUI (I love the JB UI) (modded by me to have a clock) from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840580.

I just got my DNA last week and I think it sounds better with Beats turned off than the Rezound I had did with Beats turned on. So, for me, it's an upgrade either way. As far as Beats headphones though, I agree that they are overpriced for the small and debatable increase in sound quality that you get. But, then again, I feel the same way about Apple products so maybe I'm the wrong person to ask.

What beats has is the same thing apple and bose have, good marketing departments.
