[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 60nine:
if you want to explore twrp backup files on windows:

- rename i.e. data.ext4.win000 to data.ext4.tar and open that .tar file with winzip or winrar (whichever reads .tar compressed files) - same goes for .win001 etc...

btw just a sidenote - twrp doesn't backup your personal media files (photos, videos, etc)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cognitivedissonance:
I know I'm bumping a super old thread in a sorta old forum area, but Google brought me here. I am trying to browse a TWRP backup but I have a feeling I need to do a bit more fussing around. The backup is split into data.ext4.win000 through data.ext4.win007 and each of the parts has an accompanying .md5 with the same naming structure (ie. data.ext4.win000 and data.ext4.win000.md5.) There's also a data.info file as well.

The system backup is the exact same as described above for the data, except it's only 2 parts (system.ext4.win000 and system.ext4.win001, with the accompanying md5 files and the info file.)

Can someone provide a bit of guidance? I'm using a Windows 7 Home Premium machine.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the gladiator:
I'm in the same situation cognitivedissonance is. Any help to put us on the right direction?

The answer for one question would be beneficial and highly appreciated: in which format the data.ext4.win00x files are ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MDo94:
To browse the "system.ext4.winxxx" files, simply add at the end of the file ".tar" and decompress them in the same folder created by the first file.

The MD5 is a type of Checksum file wich is created just to check the integrity of the backup file is linked to.

They are compressed in TAR format.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forkup:
Actually the file numbers should increment, using the above example:

copy /B data.ext4.win001 + data.ext4.win002 + data.ext4.win003 + data.ext4.win004 output.tar

In the example you're appending a file to itself over and over.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jult:
In most cases that should be;

copy /B data.ext4.win000 + data.ext4.win001 + data.ext4.win002 + data.ext4.win003 + data.ext4.win004 output.tar

And the other (uncompressed) .win image-files (like system_image.emmc.win) can be read with a tool like Ext2Read.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
Unfortunately, thats wrong. It might work with tar --ignore-zeros (-i) option but only for uncompressed archives.

Do not combine the data.ext4.win* files into one file before accessing. These are single standalone tarball archives (gzip compressed sometimes) you should rename and unpack for each own
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimiraikkonen85:
I am also seeking a correct and up-to-date answer for this. I have TWRP 2.8.7.0 and multiple .win files, .md5 files and data.ext4 files in my SD Card. Is renaming archives enough to browse in 7zip? Is there any special tool for this, or do we also combine/merge multiple files into one?

Thanks a lot!

How can I solve it?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huaweiproblem:
Hello everyone.

Yesterday I received my Huawei Honor 3C and I've installed MIUI ASAP instead of Emotion UI.

Everything's great but I have a problem with double SD Card, I mean: I have my own external card and the phone got his own by emulating it's internal storage as SD Card (it's a symlink to /storage/emulated/0 and it's the same as /storage/emulated/legacy, so this fake sd is eating up my storage, there are also other symlinks in /storage/, /mnt/ and even in root folder there is a symlink sdcard->/storage/emulated/legacy). Phone and apps are correctly seeing external card as SD Card but in reality the internal storage is being used for everything.

Because of this I have only about 5GB available instead of 64GB :(

Is there any way to terminate the emulation or changing it's target to sdcard2 so that I could use my card correctly? I've tried few things but nothing works. Symlinks are being recreated during boot so editing or deleting them does not work. Editing vold.fstab does nothing because ext is being mounted after boot while the emulation stars while in it - I guess that a proped ini script could do the work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
First thing I do to troubleshoot that stuff is to copy everything off the internal storage, then format it in recovery, then copy everything back when booted up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huaweiproblem:
Why do you think that wiping and installing the exact same stuff could help? If you're copying back the same files that were there before - then you're back at starting point.

I've tried also a few different things, mostly trying to modify inid.rc scripts.

I found an interesting script in init.ssd.rc, that is:

on init
# See storage config details at source.android.com/tech/storage/
# fix non-shell uid process can not access shared-sd
mkdir /mnt/shell 0700 shell shell
chmod 0750 /mnt/shell
chown shell sdcard_rw /mnt/shell
mkdir /mnt/shell/emulated 0700 shell shell
mkdir /mnt/shell/emulated/0 0700 shell shell
mkdir /storage/emulated 0555 root root
mkdir /storage/sdcard1 0000 system system

export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/emulated/legacy
export SECONDARY_STORAGE /storage/sdcard1
export EMULATED_STORAGE_SOURCE /mnt/shell/emulated
export EMULATED_STORAGE_TARGET /storage/emulated

mount tmpfs tmpfs /storage/emulated mode=0705,uid=1023,gid=1023

# Support legacy paths
symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /sdcard
symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /mnt/sdcard
symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /storage/sdcard0
symlink /mnt/shell/emulated/0 /storage/emulated/legacy
symlink /mnt/shell/emulated/0 /storage/emulated/0
symlink /storage/sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard2

and so I deleted those symlinks, packed up the ramdisk and flashed boot.img with those changes... still nothing, the symlinks are still being recreated every boot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huaweiproblem:
Damn, what a stupid thing. I've found a solution on 4pda forums. I was trying to do it the complicated way while I had everything in the system settings, in a hidden MIUI menu with some untranslated chinese marks.

Under battery settings there are options in chinese, I just had to choose the fifth chinese one and change the storage options :victory:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Glad you solved it. The reason I mentioned the wipe and all because it's not an uncommon issue when switching from some stock system to custom ones (like CM, etc) where they change the mount point of external from /sdcard to /sdcard0 and it will just copy everything from /sdcard/ to /sdcard0 and you'll have copies of everything which cuts the storage in half.

hello there

Don't load the new tmobile version...download the 8125 ROM from here:

http://www.htcamerica.net/support/cingular_8125.html

It will work and make the phone a Cingular ROM phone. I did it today and it's awesome.

If you decide to upgrade the ROM to cingular, when you get to the end of the progress bar and it seems to stop for a long time...wait longer!!! It will work.

Good luck.

I press power button (no matter for how long) but nothing happens.

Any idea?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Boot into your recovery and either wipe caches etc or sideload/flash a new ROM? - Or even Factory reset it via recovery. -- don't have an M8 myself but that's the option I'd look at for now.

Try pressing and holding power + volume up and it should reboot. If it does not do the same again and reboot into recovery and try re-flashing the rom and see if it resolves the issue for you.

Yes I can help you.

First you need an explorer (like Root explorer, Nokia File Explorer, ...)

Then come to this folder: \system\etc\

or root\system\etc\

Then at the bottom you will see 2 file: "vold.fstab", "vold.emmc.fstab"

Open it with "Text Viewer" (the vold.fstab) then roll to bottom you will see something like:

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host

dev_mount emmc /storage/sdcard1 21 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc0

Now change the sdcard0 with the sdcard1 then save.

Do it with the "emmc.fstab" then restart the phone and check...

I don't want to troll, but Android is already Linux based.

So i've seen Firefox OS ports, and maybe an Ubuntu desktop port, but i'm not remember where.

Sorry.

Edit : I've tested on my devices "Complete Linux Installer" In fact it will chroot any purposed distros. Maybe it will help you ?

VP.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] droidshadow:
linux loves the nexus 7!

Yes there are linux ports for Android, but specifically for the Nexus 7 well that is a different story...

There are linux ports like debian linux, ubuntu linux, fedora linux, and arch linux that you can install with a very nice app called "complete linux installer" which can be downloaded from the google play store.

Now those versions of linux run on top of android in a chroot environment.

However, if you want a security based linux operating system then there is a really cool project going on right now called "kali pwnpad" which is based off of "PwnPad" from the great guys over at pwnie express -> https://www.pwnieexpress.com/penetr...ity-assessment-products/sensors/pwn-pad-2014/

Now if you are like me and don't have/want to spend $1,000+ dollars for a PwnPad tablet (basically a modified nexus 7 2013) then you can head over to the XDA thread for Kali PwnPad here -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2577356

That thread will show you how to install Kali PwnPad on your Nexus 7 2013 tablet and you can go directly into Kali Linux (aka Backtrack Linux) through any of the apps which will put you into a chroot linux environment. A big bonus is you can use usb wifi devices or multiple usb devices with Kali PwnPad so you can use linux programs like, aircrack-ng, wifite, kismet, metasploit, openvas. social-engineering toolkit, and others!

That project is a lot of fun, and Kali PwnPad has just added bluetooth to its latest kernel so you can now use bluetooth usb devices for all of your bluetooth hacking needs. Devices like -> ubertooth-one, and the Parani-UD100

Also...don't be so quick to dispose of Ubuntu Touch. There is a lot of work being done with Ubuntu Touch for the Nexus 7 2013 and it is a lot of fun to use!

I hope this has been helpful. and if you have any questions on Kali PwnPad drop by thread and ask us a question!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] timothyl88:
I recently flashed my HTC One M8 with [ROM][4/13/14] GPE for M8VZW. Curently the rom is a little laggy and the camera is really slow. How will I be able to update the rom? Will it update OTA? Any idea when the lag issues will be fixed?

Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
It's all on the ROM developers... I would suggest you post this question in that ROM's thread for best response. Custom ROMs will not update "OTA" since you have a custom recovery on your phone. You will have to rely on the Devs to provide new ROM versions with the OTA updates "embedded" in them. (Though, I think if there is a Firmware update, you can manually apply it once someone posts a process for doing so on S-Off/Unlocked M8's)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] timothyl88:
I would post but cant since I just created an account. When flashing an update to the rom will it reset all my settings so I have to go through the setup process again?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Abe21599:
you should not have to if youre just flashing a newer version over the same ROM but just an older version, UNLESS the dev says to wipe, in which case you will have to go through setup all over again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
Ideally, it's always better to do a clean install when you flash any ROM, just to prevent any possible issues from coming up. However, it's not always necessary when you're just flashing an update to a ROM you're already running. Though if the update includes a new version of Android, it's usually highly recommended to do a clean install. And if you're running one ROM and decide to switch to another, a clean install is recommended again, if not absolutely necessary.

I would recommend checking out Titanium Backup or Helium. They're both app backup solutions (if you decide you want to start checking out different ROM's more often, you'll be very happy you have this) that will let you restore your apps and app settings after a clean flash/wipe.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] WorldOfJohnboy:
As Abe and sfreemanoh have already stated, that too is up to the Developer. If you are changing ROMs (Example: Have Stock ROM that's S-Off/Rooted and decide to flash ViperOneM8), you really need to Factory Reset your phone. Titanium, Helium, or MyBackup are three ways to save your Application/System data before your wipe.

If you are merely updating your current ROM version (Example: ViperOneM8 v1.0 to v1.5), the Developer should always post what needs to happen. In many cases, if there are just minor updates, the Devs will say it's OK to "Dirty Flash" without a wipe. Sometimes Devs always tell you to wipe and do a clean install. (ViperOne actually has "OTA" update files, which is basically a smaller update file that you can dirty flash.)
