[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Huh? I am copying folders to PC for safe keeping in mass storage USB mode right now. You want me to boot the phone with no ext-sdcard and try to make a backup to internal? I have a real space issue. No matter what I do, I never have enough space to make a backup to internal. Now in mass storage mode, let me check card free space in Windows.

Okay, first attachment is internal card space in Windows, 2nd attachment is external card space in Windows. While I have this neat mass storage setup going on, I can maybe delete enough stuff to make a backup on internal card.

So you just want me to delete the internal /sdcard/safestrap folder and then try a backup again so that Safe Strap will recreate the folder and image files? Let's see what is in that folder now that I have access in Windows 7.

Alright, I got a directory listing of the /sdcard/safestrap folder for you below.

T:\safestrap>ls -l

total 2

-rw-rw-rw- 1 0 0 10 Sep 13 18:58 active_slot

T:\safestrap>cd rom-slot1

T:\safestrap\rom-slot1>ls -l

-rw-rw-rw- 1 0 0 3145728000 Sep 13 21:34 userdata.img

T:\safestrap\rom-slot1>

So you want that entire /sdcard/safestrap folder deleted. I would have to do this in stock rom, then run the Safe Strap app to reinstall the recovery environment. I believe that is what runs the scripts to setup recovery, thus that /sdcard/safestrap folder would be recreated that way. I do not believe that just trying a backup would work at all if that folder is totally gone, dude. :confused:

Question:

Brian, I am not sure if I have your gmail address or not. If so, when I get done with this folder to PC copying (It is going quite well in USB mass storage.), I would give you a video call in Hangouts just to make sure we are on the same page with this. Hangouts video call works really good, I tried it with Emil from the group and he is far away. The audio and video (If you turn it on) quality is FAR superior to Skype any day of the week, is free, and is built in to Android roms. You want to do that? You do not have to turn on video if you do not care to, I will turn mine on. Can you PM me your gmail address? Yeah I just checked, I do not have your gmail address in contacts.

...well, that's it man. I got all my Safe Strap stuff backed up in Windows so what now Batman? By talking to you like this in writing, it helps me to get a "game plan" of sorts to follow and check for errors. Waiting on your but will have to do something soon, my friend. :)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I am sorry, I don't quite follow you, Bob. (Very tired, need to catch up on some zzzzz's.)

What's this about, Chrome for Android? Isn't that app already available? Personally I think that Firefox (My favorite browser) and Chrome have a very heavy footprint for cm11 so I use Dolphin Browser, the best Android browser there is, IMHO.

But I get the impression that you are not promoting browsers here, what is it that you are trying to say, my friend? :confused:

Hey Emil my good friend, how nice to see you again. :)

Emil or anyone with the answer, How do you use Hangouts on a PC with Chrome and the plugin?

Remember when we did the Hangouts video chat? That was really cool and totally blew away Skype or any other video/audio/phone/chat app that I ever used. I installed the plugin on my PC and have Chrome, but how the heck do you use it on a PC? It is not like there is an icon in the system tray, desktop, or start menu (Windows 7) or anything. I can start up Chrome but I still fail to see how to start a hangouts chat, send SMS or MMS, or do anything "Hangouts" on a PC. Although I did do it once. Why is there no "easy one click here ya go" way to start Hangouts on a PC? Or am I missing something? I know for a fact that it is totally *****ing on an Android device, but the PC? What is this, some sort of great mystery or something? What to do, head over to the highest mountains in Tibet and look all over the place for a very old man with a super long grey beard and a long stick to ask?

Hangouts is really cool and has the best of everything, and it is free!

Phone calls US & Canada

Great video conferencing

Great audio chat

Great text chat

SMS and MMS messaging

Works on computers and Android devices

What is not to love, other than finding it on a PC is next to impossible.

Can we send files over it too? I think so, MMS lets you send pictures.

I am Googling for the answer now but if anyone knows how to start and use Hangouts easily on a PC, do tell. Please, by all means. Thank you. Thank you very much. Pass the peas and carrots, thank you. Pass the pork chops, thank you very much. :laugh:

UPDATE:

Oh! I just found it.

To start Hangouts on a PC, open Chrome, go to Google and tap the Plus icon, on the Plus page is a menu on the left.

Hangouts is right there. Duh!

But still, could Google have made this any more difficult to quickly and easily find and use? :p

This is really stupid. Unless you leave Chrome running all the time, signed in to Google and have the Plus page, Hangouts open, then what, you cannot get messages from people by Hangouts? I use Firefox and that really is open almost constantly. ...ugh, did somebody say, "Lunch"? :D

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], I am not using CM, but since I read everything, this interested me.... Looking at my "running apps", I am not seeing a lot of what you have. Currently running: Lightflow/Phone Weaver (I know... Probably not needed as many of these settings are now built in, but I beta tested this year's ago, and it has become a "set it and forget it" app for me.... /TeslaUnread Plugin (for Nova Launcher) /Calendar/Smart Taskbar 2/Settings (duh...) /3 Google Play services (??) / DashClock Widget/SwiftKey and LightFlow.

All are part of my "system", so I would expect all of these to run. I also had Dolphin running, but I tapped "stop", and haven't had an issue. If I tap the Dolphin icon in my browser folder, the app starts as expected.

I have deleted apps I don't use (and never will.... MADDEN FOOTBALL? LET'S GOLF?) in Titanium. Others I freeze.....

Really need to update (still on M9 - it has been a good build for me, but I want to move on now), I've been so patient, constantly reading reports etc. Maybe soon this month I'll update, wonder if I will be able to flash on top of M9 with no post hassles.

You know [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], I'm so impressed with your little Bluetooth receiver thing you plug into your aux. I want one, and I don't even have an aux on my radio (...but a new purchase is in the works I think).

I tried purchasing the Bluetooth device, but to no surprise at all, I can't have it shipped to South Africa (typical Amazon for me, I've only ever managed to purchase/pre-order music CD's on Amazon before).

Now you've planted a seed Ohmster.

Sorry for the side-line post..

OK, eBay has similar gadgets.

Does it have a mic or does it just receive audio? I take it that it doesn't have a mic and when you are on a call, you use your phone's mic - but where do you put your phone, are you close to the mic? Also, doesn't the person on the other end hear themselves; since the audio comes through your car's speakers?

Sorry for the questions.

I know this is not CM11 related, so I do apologize, but you know how it goes in this thread..

How to back up EVERYTHING?

Folks,

My Phone is totally hosed and must be stripped to the bone, and then put back, piece by piece, by hand. Do not want to miss or lose anything so first step is backup everything!

My XT912 is shot. Both stock rom and cm11 in slot 1. Don't want to write another book so I will get to the point. I need to wipe out

everything

on the phone. Everything has to be backed up to PC (Have lots of space there.) and everything has to be wiped off the device.

So, first part is how to backup "everything"? I got Safe Strap backups which will do little good other than as an emergency fallback. Titanium Backup has backed up everything and I am doing a final sync to dropbox so I also have an off device set of app backups. But I want to backup the entire internal sdcard, I guess use mass storage for that and wait for it to complete. I can pick out what is important later. 64Gb card I can take out and replace with a 16Gb freshly formatted FAT32 card for now so I lose nothing on the big card. There is something in /Settings/Storage at the top of the list called "INTERNAL STORAGE" that is 2Gb in size. What is that, can I and need I back that up too?

I got copies of my Android ID and plan to use TiBu to restore it. This means putting the TiBu folders back on the card once I get an OS on it to restore the system ID and then, hand pick each and every app restore. Most of them I plan to leave behind. I will take screenshots of all my Xposed modules so I know what I had and will restore what is necessary later.

I really have to do this, like "now" because this is a dysfunctional phone at this point. Yes it works and it sure looks pretty, but if you had to depend on it like a 911 call, your body would be cold by the time the police and ambulance arrive.

Once the phone is totally wiped, of course it will not boot or run anymore, so I will use Brian's updated Matt's Utility to install and root the stock, zero bloat blur rom for stock and root it. Then, I guess I have to play it by ear. Install Safe Strap, cm11 and pa-gapps, this time NO apps or things that are not necessary and are used frequently and constantly make backups along the way and check to see what and when it begins to slow down again. This way I can restore right before it and skip whatever it is that is impacting performance. I love the new Trebuchet themes and have mixed and matched 3 of them to get the beautiful transparent look I like, lockscreen wallpaper, fonts.

This is a HUGE PROJECT and yeah, I am getting a little nervous about it. I have done the phone from scratch several times, when I hosed it twice in one week with CWM ROM Manager. I had no choice then. But this time I do not want to lose anything.

Any tips, recommendations, am I missing anything, advice, and even a "good luck" with sincerity would be appreciated. That's it. I am backing up what I can think of now, if there is anything you can think of I may miss, please spit it out.

Okay, time for dinner to allow the phone to charge up enough to backup the entire sdcard is next. Thanks for listening and for any advice or well wishing you may have. :eek:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
Once you backup everything all you need to do is run matt's utility... You don't need to wipe it first when flashing with matt's utility it will wipe your phone. If you are parinoid though you can use matt's utility twice. That should save you some time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
Also, see my pm about cleaning and saving information...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] googlesstepchild:
IIRC Matt's utility does not alter the data partition. The system partition is the only thing affected.

Thanks all for checking the flash, I'm on M9, and checked again today and it still does it. Maybe it's sorted in the later builds. I will download and update tonight, but I may have to go clean, really hope not though.

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] thank you for always going that extra mile.

I actually just placed the order for the same device as you right now - went through with no problem, so this item was able to be shipped to me ;) . Will get my radio soon, but not in a hurry, will probably only get the device next month... Took slowest shipping method and our post office sucks, but I assume it is being couriered.

Lol, just found it on Takealot (one of the bigger online retailers here) and it's in stock, would have probably had it the next day; though it was still cheaper on Amazon with shipping - let's hope there aren't going to be any other import duties.

Can't wait! :)

So glad to hear about 09/14 being a good build again, I downloaded 09/13 but heard bad reports.

Yes, I have been reading all about your issues, back to the beginning where you weren't able to make a SS backup.

I don't like having major issues like this, it's stressful (have I lost my device?), and a huge hassle in the end if you do fix it.

It sounds like you know which path to take though, all the best!

Oh, but did I stress this morning. First off, on my way to work, i cleared cache, dalvik and android secure (phone was lagging again after a few weeks).

So, I was charging my phone through my work's PC and was using it a bit, and so the cable become loose and sort of sat skew in the phone's socket, ...."USB device not recognised".

Rebooted, tried in safestrap, tried in Paranoid Android - sort of worked, but then didn't. Fixed Permissions in SS. ... Then booted into CM, but left it for a while as I was busy, when I tried again it worked. Managed to cause the issue again, but got it back (fixing permissions wasn't the hero IMO).

Scary, thought I'd have to look at renewing my contract even though I'd planned to leave it a while until I can no longer use this phone due to age or battery. Seems all good again, but frankly I've always a problem with the cable falling out of the socket. My nice old Motorola car charger can only be used if you put the phone down, if I use the phone I try to hold the cable in as it doesn't require much force to disconnect it from the phone. Very irritating. Some cables tend to work better though. But still it's no good.

Wonder if this is just me, or my MicroUSB port is badly worn.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
Actually, the last utility Matt released had the option to flash either with or without a data wipe. See the updated version in my sig. The difference between the utility and RSDlite is that RSDlite also wipes internal storage, completely restoring the phone to out-of-box condition, while the utility rewrites only the "hidden" storage, leaving the contents of the internal SD untouched.

Suddenly my weather widgets are not able to locate me or something. I tried with cLock widget and chronus and HD widgets and Beautiful Widgets.

I switched from Beautiful Widgets to HD Widgets since M9 and it has been fine until today for some reason. What's going on with my location? I tried using TomTom, but I'm indoors at the moment.

Strangely if I use Weather Underground as the provider in HD Widgets it seems to pick up my location, though I'll have to confirm along the way home from work. OpenWeatherMap and AccuWeather, however, keep just using my home address and I'm at work (50km away). It is of course set to auto locate, and i deleted my own custom locations just in case. I haven't tested extensively yet with the other providers in cLock and such, think Yahoo! Weather was also no good.

Is there somewhere to clear any accumulated data or something like that?

I'm just about ready to update and I fear this will most probably carry over. And my current install was a clean one. Did wiping Android secure do something (I wiped this morning)?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
Ok guys

I made a backup of my current M9 installation, then I went ahead to update it to M10. While it was updating, the screen went off and then I couldn't get it back on.

Now I cannot boot my phone at all, I can only see the Motorola logo. I can't get into Safestrap, nothing.

I will probably need to flash all over from stock rom and then root again, install safestrap ...just a total ballsup.

I'm at work now so I must sit without a phone the whole day.

:( :( :(

I just want to make sure I'm prepared when I get home.

So how do I get into bootloader (I can't remember), or AP fastboot or whatever?? Will RSD Lite sort this out for me?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you guys!!

EDIT: Somehow got into the boot menu manager and can select ap fastboot etc from there, so if I can get there, I should be able to flash with RSD.

Also, it seems that the phone keeps on powering on, it won't just stay off easily, if i plug it into the pc, I hear the USB connection sound, and can then tell that the phone is not off (but the screen is off).

What a total schlep.

It also said I could manually boot to recovery if I had a non-standard recovery. I wasn't sure if CM considered SafeStrap and TWRP standard, but I pushed the button and it booted to the TWRP recovery and installed the Zip just fine.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
So it sounds like M10 is fine?

I got home and tried flashing stock on but it failed. Where it usually says "Battery OK" on the phone, it said "Battery Low" and I assume that's what blocked the flash.

So it looks like my phone was on in some type of loop the whole day and it drained my battery. Put it on charge, looks like it is charging but let's hope. Will leave it on charge for an hour or so and see if I can flash it - I need to have everything back up this evening!!

OK, just saw another post over at the Q&A thread, and he had/has the same issue as me with M10 (see post #5901).

I'm actually now too skeptical of M10 to even bother trying it. I think I should just use the 09/15 Nightly.
