[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbrahamZX1:
Hello XDA devs, this is my first time making a thread here. To keep it simple, I have an Nvidia Shield Tablet rooted on OTA 3.1 and I have just filled the recall to get a new one. I use Busybox, GLtools and FolderMount. So I have lots of things made on this tablet, my bootloader is open as well. I would like to know how I could backup this tablet so that I can make the new one just like this one without passing too much trouble. The fact that this one will be dissabled when I use the new one is also one of the problems that must not be overlooked.

Nandroid backup from recovery and copy the backup to a SD card and restore it on the new device.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] An Droid:
Nandroid might mess up serial numbers if the backup from the original device carries over that information.?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbrahamZX1:
I was thinking something along the lines of backing up my app and user data with Titanium Backup, moving it to my sd card and then unlocking the booloader on the new tablet, rooting it and doing a restore with Titanium backup, with that backup I made on the old device. Would that work? Or would the nandroid backup work and be more effective?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThauExodus:
What kind of serial number? If so, it would be somewhere in the hardware and a nandroid is just backing your data...
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durgis:
I believe Titanium requires root, so you've got a cart and horse problem. I think you can fastboot boot twrp-recovery.img and make a nandroid backup without unlocking bootloader though. Never tried fastboot boot on the shield though.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frankenscript:
I would be interested in a step-by-step for unrooted stock Android 5.01 backup. I'm familiar enough with rooting / TWRP / flashing etc., but haven't done it on this device. Looking for easiest option. Since it's less than a month old I may just back up basic files manually and then wipe it, but if there's an easier way without going through trouble of rooting I'd be good to try it out. I've got the LTE version, by the way.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbrahamZX1:
I have read that some people claim it to be possible to use a Nandroid backup for a same model phone or tablet, by following some procedures, while there are others who claim that it should not be possible.

I'm going to go the Titanium route just to be careful, as for the fastboot commands from pc, etc., I have done that before so opening the bootloader on the new device and re-rooting is not a big deal for me. I am more worried about whether FolderMount will work without problem on the new tablet when I restore with Titanium or not. I won't be making changes in my sd card, so I hope once I recover, Foldermount works and recognizes the links I've made.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Themaniacboy:
When you restore your files on your new device, Titanium asks if you to restore your old ID to prevent problems with restored apps. So yes, foldermount and such will work correctly if you do that.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbrahamZX1:
Would restoring my ID do anything else? I assume there would be no side effect.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Themaniacboy:
Correct, there will be no side effect.

How did it go?

Did you use Nandroid or Titantium & if you use Nvidia Hub does rooting affect it please?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluegizmo83:
Do a nandroid backup in TWRP. I just did this exact same thing for my recall replacement! It works just fine. All you have to do is rename the backup folder, because TWRP saves the nandroid backup in a folder that is named what your Tablet serial number is. You have to rename the folder and change the name to your NEW Tablet serial number, otherwise the backup will not even show up in TWRP on the new Tablet. I assume this is done so that people that create backups of several different devices, onto an sdcard for example, can't accidentally restore an incompatible backup (say a nexus 6 backup on a nexus 5). I can assure you though it works just fine as long as both devices are the same.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbrahamZX1:
I haven't received the recall tablet yet, so I still haven't had the chance to do the restore. I will be saving a backup for both methods though and try out a Nandroid restore first. Rooting hasn't affected any Nvidia app for me.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optical10:
Success for non-rooted Shields

Used Googles non advertised ADB command line backup, Helium backup also uses ADB for a user friendly UI if your not command line savy.

Seems to have worked but will report back if the full APK + data has left glaring holes etc. Lastpass wasn't installed but thats a plus security wise.

I need some help guys, im not a tech savy but i ended up rooting my shield just for the deleting sd card files but now i dont think i want it anymore. i rather have the OTAs.

but here is the catch, i really dont know how to start, i cant find the image anywhere for recovery, i dont know how to flash it, tried to delete super user but now it crashes, cant reboot in recovery mode...

is there someone who can help me out there?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tabaqui:
This might help you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT82lX40fuc

Also, just deleting the app doesnt take root away. For that you need to flash the stock image, but if you want to keep root and get otas , do the guide on the link i sent you.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] executerx:
Hello,

Yesterday, my LG G3 (D885, international version) phone has started to claim that it has no service and "Service disabled", just all of a sudden. I had a stock rom when it happend.

I tried to verify whether it was sim that was burned out or IMEI that got erased but IMEI is not null and my sim card is working on other phones, while other sim cards does not work on mine.

Important to mention that WiFi does works perfectly and it just could not get any signals from mobile network (0 dBm)

At that time, I rooted that phone and installed BlissROM and then Cyanogenmod to verify it was not silly software that broke.

That attempts also did not work and created another weird effect.

After some time, now booting with sim inside the phone causes Cyanogenmod/BlissROM to not boot. I had to pull out the sim card in order for it to boot (when sim card is on, it shows the LG logo, cyanogenmod logo and then just shutsdown, and does not let to boot until sim is removed)

I tried flashing out the official modem for my phone again, the 20P (00052) baseband, from http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/radio-modem-lg-g3-t3110376 but still no success.

I took a backup of the stock rom working so I could revert to that any time (and manage to boot with sim and have this weird "x" sign or searching for network circle next to the signaling bar at the notification panel.

I'm really not sure what has gone wrong at that point. Might it be the antenna that has problems? How easy is replacing it?

What else might I do?

UPDATE: I tried to put on another sim on my phone, with cyanogenmod, and it booted! Now, it says again only emergency calls (no service) but signal strength is -105dBm.

No network, out of service but has signal (where before i switched to cyanogen and flashed modem, it had no signal strength back with sock)

But, on the next boot, it failed to boot with that another sim.

Thanks!

[OnePlus 2 General] paras33:
OHk guys so I had chance to use Oneplus 2 at delhi event and here are my views...

1) one simple word 'Overhyped'

2) looks -only the side frame thing is a lil premium but not much..same as before,front button does spoil the overall look...does look samsung..swype covers raises the look if u purchase that .they are beautiful..

3)camera is better and faster but dont hv high expectations..its only an improvemnt over 1+1 nothing ground breaking

4)screen is definately not at all worth extra praise..its same old ..just a lil brighter..Im not a Qhd supporter but damn S6 will make this phone cry if u compare

5) Now the main thing that disappointed me was performance with all the hype of sd810 v2.1 4gb ram..it might be just the test units thing with unfinished oxygen os but damn it was laggy in app drawer and homescreen scrolling... the app opening(especially chrome was slow)..I compared side by side with 1+1 n it failed.

The whole evnt was a **** in itself..no management at all... total chaos

(luckily due this i got extra time to spend wth the device).

Initial impressions tell me its just a total value for money phone 25k.They nailed it in pricing for sure .Dont get ur hopes high...Ul be disappointed like me.

Big words - Flagship killer 2016..haha its not even killer for 2015(it will fall infront of an S6 or G4 in almost every aspect).
[OnePlus 2 General] itsdacj:
Damn, from seeing an antutu benchmark (I know they don't mean much) I was disappointed. Oh well, maybe a G4 will replace my beloved One.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guhvanoh:
I've never used the e-mail client stop I wouldn't know. On your fone, you need to search for where the e-mails are stored. It will probably be a single text file. Connect you fone to your pc and copy that over. If you use IMAP instead of POP3 in future, you shouldn't run into this problem. But then I guess you know that now...

There are a few directories where app stuff is stored. Try

[Xperia Z2 General] peeweew:
May I ask why is it that on mine I even did clear system/cache/dalvik/data wipe before flashing. And still, it only seem that I have root access because I have SuperSU installed but when root apps are actually accessing root, it cannot access. SuperSU prompts permission but it doesn't seem to work.

It really frustrates me that I keep downloading files on slow connection and still doesn't work on me. I already used two different zips from different regions.

Is it because mine has unlocked bootloader?

What am I missing???

Use another, third party launcher besides the stock or Google Launcher and you can set as many rows or columns you need depending on their limits. Atom, Nova and several other launchers come to mind. I think MIUI lets you change it too.
