Do you guys get Nandroid to work with SS? When I downloaded i though it told me to find the CW or TWRP folder to backup to or else it wouldn't work...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maribou:
Backups are working fine for me with the new SS update. I have a habit of backing up every couple of days. All it does is create a folder named TWRP on your external SD card, and it saves the backups there. What told you to find a CW or TWRP folder?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ALD3:
SS 3.72 made a backup fine on DVv3.0.0, I had a problem(mine) when installing DVv3.0.1 and used SS3.72 to restore DVv3.0.0. Not once but 2 times and worked great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jt1998:
When you make a backup in SS, and restore it, is it an exact replica keeping all texts apps etc??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] xpakage:
My recovery's have everything they had when backed up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ALD3:
Yes!! I was in a bootloop flashing the upgrade DVv3.0.1. Held power button till it shut down, booted recovery and hit restore. Afterwards it was ALL, just like before I started, apps, desktops and data. ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tuffluck:
dang i don't know, that's what it told me when i was on ge26 and wouldn't let me create a backup unless i had TWRP or CM installed...maybe there was an old version of busybox installed and that limited the nandroid backup app.

this time on purified, however, i downloaded the app, updated busybox, and it worked just fine. question, i've never done a restore on a nandroid backup before. i'm assuming i'd just go in to safestrap, delete everything but sdcard (where the backup physically is), select restore, and then select the nandroid backup folder that was created? since it didn't create a flashable zip but a folder instead, i just want to make sure it's that easy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Correct. When you make the backup, you choose which folders you want to backup... system, data, and cache. As long as you select all when backing up, everything will be there when you restore.

What doesn't get backed up is your internal SdCard. I usually make a copy of it whenever I make a backup and save it on my PC. That is where some of the app data is stored. Probably not a big deal if you don't because if the app data is missing, the app seems to recreate it the next time it launches. I just do it because when you odin back to stock, the internal sdcard gets wiped... (and I have a slight case of OCD :) )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Where are you getting the nandoid backup from?

It sounds like you have a backup, right? hence the question about restoring from backup. Did you make it with safestrap before?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DeadlySin9:
Safestrap backup is slightly different I believe. And Safestrap doesn't go in the normal recovery partition so you can't use things meant for true recoveries.

Sent from my SGH-I337 running Blackbox 3.0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tuffluck:
ah. so should i just scrap the nandroid app and backup through SS then?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
I've only used the backup built into safestrap and it works great.

I would.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maribou:
Correct. Most of those Nandroid backup apps assume you have a certain version of recovery installed, and most likely would not work with SS recovery. Best bet is to use the backup function in SS.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jt1998:
do you enable compression or the MD5 option? Just curious. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maribou:
That's actually a really good question. I know I haven't tried using MD5 or compression. Come to think of it, I never have. I might give it a shot in a few days when I make another backup. Thanks. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:

weird - So, I've been on GE 26 SS version no problems. Updated SS to 3.72 when it came out. Decided today to update to latest GE 28 so made TiBu and SS backups 1st. Then downloaded the new ROM to my ext SD card and had the SuperSu apk and NB1 mods on my ext SD card as well. So rebooted into SS, wiped all except ext SD card, flashed the rom, SuperSu, NB1, rebooted, and nada frozen at Samsung logo for over 10 mins. tried again with all the steps and nothing. This 3rd time, did it all but after SS completed, rebooted into Download mode, did the ODIN NB1 BL, AP, and CP files and still frozen over 10 mins. Is it something with GE 28 and my SS 3.72???? Very confused.

Thanks all.

Now, we just have to keep up with all the updates. :D

Thanks.

I have not tried that one yet. In my experience, flashing ATT ROMs that are not SS specific send me into a bootloop. Even though I'm able to get back to SS recovery, no matter what ROM I flash next, I still get the bootloop, so I have to Odin back. (Granted, both of those were on the Stock Slot... But... All or nothing, right? ;) ) I need my phone today, so may try tonight when I have time to Odin back, just in case.

proper way to avoid update?

I’m wondering what are the exact steps we should do to avoid update from MK2 to MLD or whatever comes next.

On previous versions, there were detailed instructions given:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2378946

Looking at my own files in TiBu, I have:

wssyncmlnpl V43…

LocalFota V2_1308…

FWUpgrade 1.2.0

Note these three files of mine match the files in the linked post except for the versions and the bolded portion on the first one.

I also have "AT&T Software update V42_1"… which I assumed was the updater. But I'm thinking I should be careful about assumptions because I have absolutely no idea about those other files.

I already froze that AT&T SoftwareUpdate V42 and haven't had any problems. But I'm not sure if that's enough. Should I freeze those others?

Also in the back of my mind, I’m vaguely remembering reading that someone froze his AT&T updater and said it made him go into a bootloop, but I couldn’t find that thread.

So, I’m just looking for some clarification.

What exactly should we freeze to avoid the update and also not cause any problems on our phones?

Can you get another ROM to install?

If SuperSU zip was bad, ROM would boot and you wouldn't have root.

If modules were bad, ROM would boot and you wouldn't have WiFi.

If you are suppose to Odin the magic tool files and you forget, ROM boots into a weird blue screen.

If you flash without changing updater script, ROM stays on boot animation and never comes up.

That said, I would look at the updater script. Try replacing it again, but first, try installing your previous ROM to verify your phone will still boot up. If not, start with Odin back to stock.
