As an experimentation, I'm trying to take a full ROM backup of my Karbonn A35 (a little known MTK based phone) using this method. However, I'm unable to find the "by-name" folder inside /dev/block/platform. There is only one folder there called mtk-msdc.0. This is the output when I run cat /proc/partitions from the adb shell:

major minor #blocks name

179 0 3845120 mmcblk0
179 1 1 mmcblk0p1

Is there any easy way to backup the ROM using dd command from inside the shell?

The reason I want to backup the ROM is that later on I want to root and install CWM, CyanogenMod, etc. The said phone (Karbonn A35) is I think a rebranded version of HTC FairPhone First Edition because that's what it says in the lsusb.

Hello,

I have a problem with my Nexus4 because whenever I use Reboot option it does turn off but won't restart after it unless I hit power button again. The problem happened with multiple ROMs and while rebooting from recovery after flashing. What is wrong? Do I need to reflash bootloader with Fastboot? This started after I bricked my phone and had to give it for service for box revive and restore 16GB memory because I had just 8GB after the process. Did anyone encounter such problems?

I am using Oxygen 3.1.3 lite with EX kernel for some reason, the fingerprint sensor is not as fast as before. It only happened today.

I installed BetterBatteryStats, Greenify and Amplify today. I thought 1 of them might be causing the issue. I uninstalled all 3 but still facing the slow fingerprint reader problem

Anyone can shed some light ?

Ive started having crackling sounds with Bluetooth Anyone else having those issues? unrooted Vs990 running marshmallow, Nova beta
[Verizon LG V10] dakpluto:
If there is one thing that has seriously troubled me with this phone it is the bluetooth performance. About every 2-3 months mine seems to degrade. It gets to the point where if any other data signal is happening (running another app, email downloading in the background, etc) while I'm streaming music over bluetooth it cuts out, stutters, crackles, etc. This even occurs if my music is on my SD card and not coming over a data connection.

If I do a factory reset it completely clears it up and I have no issues for about 2 months, at which point the degrading starts again and within a month gets so bad again I have to do another factory reset.

[Nexus 5 General] Matrixians 14:
Hello my fellow Nexus 5 owners, lovers, we gather here for one request: Android N official for Nexus 5. There are many rumors that Marshmallow will be the last official Android version for Nexus 5. Marshmallow has been out for a while but the major release of Android N comes to fast. Nexus 5 in my opinion is still, the best Nexus phone. I'm not calling for lifetime support, only this version. Google gave us nearly no time enjoying official support, and immediately they take it from us. With all the love of Android, I ask everyone, to encourage Google to make the last official Android version, for the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] Mr.FREE_Bird:
Oh come on... Another one..

Stop with wasting your time, Google doesn't care about how much people would like to have an official Android N release for their Nexus 5. They have given us the promised support time for Android updates, they owe us nothing. We already had that guy who started a petition which is pointless because Google probably won't even see it. So quit this BS and just keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best. You won't be able to make sure that Google will give the Nexus 5 just one more update, they may will or maybe not.
[Nexus 5 General] Quasar:
Google gives every Nexus device 2 years of support on average. I wouldn't call that "nearly no time enjoying official support". They're unlikely to even consider a request to update a device that reached it's EOL for major updates almost a year ago. The unofficial development community for this device continues to thrive nevertheless, so you will most likely get an unofficial N build that's more than good enough for daily use.
[Nexus 5 General] xandercusa:
This device had its time, but it EOL now. It'll still have unofficial updates for a foreseeable future, but if official updates matter more, then you'll need to move to a newer device. Personally, I don't really care too much about the support because if I did, I would have bought a N5X instead of the N5 a couple months back when I had the choice.

[Nexus 5 General] cindylike24:
I'm going to wait and see what happens on the official updates front for Android N. Personally, I'd like to see it for the Nexus 5 but if it doesn't roll out for this phone right now, I'll probably be going to Cyanogenmod. That's what I'm running now because I cannot stand the Layers app. Prefer CM Themes to Layers.

[Nexus 5 General] treehugger38294:
If Google provides Android N, they will feel obliged to support it with N bug fixes. This will force support for another six months as bugs are ironed out.

Why do you need to call Google? We have used our official support time which is 2-years. Also, do we need their official support? CM is with us.

[Nexus 5 General] Cor-master:
Nexus 5 and nexus 7 2013 are both dead I guarantee it. The nexus 4 and nexus 10 had enough power for marshmallow but they didn't get it. I expect the 2013 devices to get the ax this year. Gotta wonder though why everyone is so eager to hold on to the nexus 5? I mean I still have mine as an emergency backup phone but the battery life is gawd awful and camera is so mediocre compared to new phones. I'm rocking a 6p currently and it's world's ahead of the old 5!

[Nexus 5 General] kicksilver:
Maybe because with the improvements to Doze and background processing, the Nexus 5's battery life would see significant improvements?
[Nexus 5 General] Mr.FREE_Bird:
Another one saying things they know nothing about. You can't guarantee anyone what you said. You know nothing for sure like everyone else.

Yes it will be very unlikely that the nexus get's one more update but it may will happen, there is a small chance.
[Nexus 5 General] Cor-master:
Oh yeah it'll get it because you know the 2012 nexuses totally got marshmallow from Google last year /sarcasm.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
It is no error, it is normal.

There is no way to change this, except if you use Marshmallow and use the adopted storage option to make the microSD card part of the internal memory.

That is 15GB of space right there. The remaining GB of space is taken up by a hidden partition of 524MB, with the remaining 476MB or so given over to the rest of the partitions in the chart below, taken from the thread I linked to earlier.

You're not missing any space, and never were. On a 16GB device, you lose 6GB right off the top for the system storage. It's going to be roughly the same on any device out there. For example, my Nexus 6 is a 64GB model. I only have 54.64GB available to store files on, as I lost 10.5GB off the top for the system partitions.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HIS YB:
Haha okay. But you see, i tried flashing a custom rom and in recovery after i did a full system wipe i still had 9gb meaning the the new custom rom was installed on the the 9gb. Per all that you sent i understand that after installing either new firmware or custom rom i shoulf be left with with 9gb+/- right?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Let's parse your post here.

"...i tried flashing a custom rom and in recovery after i did a full system wipe i still had 9gb...." Your /userdata partition will always be 9.9GB. A small portion of that will be taken by some of the apps Samsung includes on the device in the /system partition. So let's say you're at about 9.7GB, which is about average.

"...meaning the new custom rom was installed on the 9GB." Virtually impossible. In order for a ROM to correctly install it must be installed into the /system partition, or else it will not run.[1] That is one of the first things you learn in developing a ROM, and can be easily verified just by opening up the zip file and looking at the installer script located somewhere in the META-INF directory.

"Per all that you sent i understand that after installing either new firmware or custom rom i shoulf be left with with 9gb+/- right?" Yep. It seems to me that the confusion stems from a misconception. A custom ROM when installed does not delete any files in the internal storage except for those attached to a /system app.

For example, last weekend I installed Pure Nexus onto my Nexus 6. This was a clean install. Yet after I was done, not only were all my music and video files present, but also my books and my app backups. The Nexus 6 does not have a MicroSD slot, so everything is on internal storage. If Pure Nexus, or any ROM for that matter deleted those files, end users would be up in arms over that and the developers would be drawn and quartered.

The point here is that anything you added onto the /userdata partition prior to changing ROMs will still be present after the new ROM has booted up. Therefore, your stuff should still be there. If it's not there, then something else is taking up the space. That something else however is not a ROM.[2]

[1][2]The only exception to the above is if the device has been modified to support multiple ROMs using Safestrap recovery if owning an AT&T or Verizon S4, or MultiROM for anything else. The second and subsequent ROMs could then be installed on the internal storage.
