Hi, I just have a couple of questions first this section

"How to install and run the shell script"

is done on the source phone (the working one) right not on the broken/only recovery phone ??

the second question is about these instructions

- create a text file "bckp2arm.ini" with path "/sdcard/userdata_20160823_100259.backup"

- copy the "bckp2arm.ini" file into same folder where "bckp2arm.sh" is

- run the shell script "bckp2arm.sh" (see above)

so what you mean is to create a file named bckp2arm.ini and put inside it this line /sdcard/userdata_20160823_100259.backup ??

and the - run the shell script "bckp2arm.sh" this is done on the working (source) phone right ??

What I have is a non-rooted broken phone with no access to anything but to stock recovery (and flashing the stock rom is not an option so restore backup from another phone is my only option left) and another identical phone with access to everything so is tutorial right for me or not ??

Thanks in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alecxs:
mostafa, sorry this tutorial is not for you. backup contain /data partition only. /system partition is not included (and will not restored).

regarding your questions, yes this it how it works, but with one exception: working phone is always destination phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smsmasters:
I am getting:

ERROR fat32 file size limitation (something similar to this)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alecxs:
extended file system is needed for mergeing userdata_20160823_100259.backup + userdata_20160823_100259.backup2 + userdata_20160823_100259.backup3 + ... = userdata_20160823_100259.img.

same if current data size is larger then 4 GB (forgot factory reset?)

it depends on phone. in this case, just create (another) ext2-partition on sdcard.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smsmasters:
How large should the ext2 partition be? The .backup files total 6GB in 3 parts.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] smsmasters:
I created a 8GB ext2 partition, the script finishes but the phone is stuck at the boot logo upon reboot.

Wiped dalvik/cache and it booted but everything was deleted.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alecxs:
there is no guarantee that the content you are going to extract is appropriate for target phone. the script is just unpacking everything without any proof. if unpacking was successful you should see "Restore user data complete" "All Done" and "rebooting..." followed by automatically reboot into recovery mode. otherwise it just stops with "ERROR: FAILED to restore user data".

if you think this is a bug, please describe a little bit. source of backup file, target device, what is your intent?

edit: for testing purposes try to restore the new created backup file (dummy file). the file is restore-able from script only. if this fails, the restoring method is not working in generally for this specific target
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lis-u:
I used your script but not work. I have a information:

I have enought space on my device. When script starting i see information about premission denied (sdcard). I changed premission in write_external_storage, but script still return information about android secure. Please help i need read contacts from backup file. Anybody can help me?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alecxs:
please provide the logfile "bckp2arm-debug.txt" should exist on /sdcard or /cache

regarding contacts only, please see other thread linked in first post (previous version). the file you need is located /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db and all you have to do is replace it and set ownership + permissions.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] lis-u:
Thanks for help. Sorry my sdcard is in home and now I am in another place. I have only backup file, because phone was broken and i can't set debuging option on. Problem was solved by linux terminal (unpack backup file), now I have contacts.db file :) I read contacts.db by DB browser for SQlite but i can't group number with name :( I will try Your method with replace file. Thanks a lot (sorry for my English).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Android2579:
Could you check the links?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alecxs:
i removed the tar + p7zip binaries from download section, have changed the links pointing to original threads instead. from now on you will find these downloads there.

NOTE: probably you don't need p7zip. it was implemented before gnu-tar, and is just failsafe for unknown file formats (experimental). set param P7ZIP=0 in bckp2arm.ini to disable
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Android2579:
My phone does not want to run the script

Got the script running but it wont go past"-> connect charger and switch into Airplane Mode"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alecxs:
the syntax is sh <path>/<filename>

the command sh calls the shell /system/bin/sh, the file name as argument will be interpreted as script. the path is just an example, use find to locate the file:

busybox find /storage -iname bckp2arm.sh

the result lists the full path and file name, for example /storage/extSdCard/Download/bckp2arm.sh (depends on phone, also try searching for /mnt instead of /storage)

probably the airplane mode state can not be readouted from phone. this happens if settings binary is missing (usually located in /system/bin). please install sqlite3 binary to /system/xbin or /su/xbin instead (download link see Troubleshooting)

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
busybox unzip /storage/extSdCard/Download/sqlite3.zip -d /system/xbin
busybox chown 0:2000 /system/xbin/sqlite3
busybox chmod 0755 /system/xbin/sqlite3

this should fix the problem. let me know if airplane mode is not detected properly

I tried everything in my galaxy s3 but it i couldnt get it to work

I kept trying in the galaxy s3 but after no prevail i switched to my zte and ran the scrip. This time it went past the battery and airplane mode. And then i ran into "Warning: SElinux has been detected"and downloaded the apk "The SElinix Toggler apk" and ran it again. This time it got to the "Warning: install p7zip for android - exiting script###....( i read that i might be ok ignoring the check setting params in "bckp2arm.ini" what i dont understand its how to "set params" how do you do that? Thank you for taking time to read and helping me out :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alecxs:
you can add parameters in bckp2arm.ini, for explanation see How to and press CLICK TO SHOW CONTENT (have added a example ini file now)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Android2579:
I added a new line in the .ini file and ran the script and it started running and went on for a while but when it got to a part where it said that it would reboot if everything went well, else the script failed and it started running again. And eventually it started closing apps. I manually rebooted the phone and it had the old wallpaper from my old phone but when i unlock the screen it justs says that none of the apps are working. Should i try to run the script again or is it just gonna do the same thing? Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alecxs:
please attach the logfile "bckp2arm-debug.txt" to your latest post (should exist on sdcard). make factory reset and try again. don't reboot manually, just ignore crashing apps. if the script is exiting with ERROR, please post the error message (or possibly screenshot). i will reply tomorrow
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Android2579:
Thank you for all your help, and your time. I tried it again but i get the same problem. My .backup file might be corruped.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alecxs:
guess its a bug in script. if you upload logfile i will try to fix it. [MENTION=3846327]LeSpuck[/MENTION] stated in other thread the checksum 512 byte header must be removed from each file before merging the parts - script is just removing checksum from first file. i will fix this in next version.

regarding galaxy s3, its maybe the kernel not allowing set SELinux permissive
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alecxs:
crashing apps are normal at this point. but if the terminal emulator app crashes too, the script is aborted. it happens to me 1 times, but i could not reproduces this failure - maybe other apps using too much ram?? to avoid this -> connect usb cable to pc and run it from adb shell instead

since v1.4.3 it should work with multipart backups, checksum is now removed for each file (this makes more sense)

for those who have multipart backup without checksum, use old version v1.4.2 (please give feedback here in thread, which one worked for you. because i have no backup files for testing)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] uschipower:
With Android 6 and up, all data are encrypted and there is no function to disable this. So each Android 7.0 device have a encrypted backup, right?

I made a backup with Android system recovery on my Ulefone S8 Pro, MT 6737, Android 7.0 "Nougat".

Then, I unlocked the bootloader. This means a factory reset.

You have listed 2 examples with Android 7 where a restoring worked.

Can I restore or extract my userdata_20160823_100259.backup with your tool?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alecxs:
The problem is not only with crypto-footer but also bootloader lock state. restoring from stock recovery should work on locked bootloader. My tools bckp2arm, bckp2win, bckp2raw, cannot decrypt backup, scripts are written for unencrypted data

Warning : I am not responsible for bricked devices.

Plz do some research before flashing this rom.

Always take full backup of stock rom before flashing any rom

SlimROM for MT6582 is based on Google AOSP and it tries to keep it as stock as possible without much features which normal users don't want to use.Definitely recommended for for people who don't want much features from their ROM but just want simplicity and performance.

Camera

GPS

Video recording in stock/snap camera is working with 1080P !

Audio in calls

Bluetooth

USSD

Audio

Mic

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ericarthurc:
For everyone interesting into upgrading to Android 7 be warned that are some issues going around right now and no one really knows what is causing the problems or what the fix is. So I was running the latest Pure Nexus rom and upgraded to Android 7 using the OTA file and the boot.img provided. Everything went fine and the system boot correctly. Well I decided to flash Pure Nexus back and the system was stuck in a boot loop between the white google logo and the "The system can't be checked for corruption" screen (unlocked boot loader). Well the good man Heisenberg got involved and recommend his full system stock restore guide (without locking the boot loader; don't do it or you will be completely out of luck). I used his guide and flashed 6.0.0 (MDA89D) and also 6.0.1 (MTC20F). The phone continued to boot loop and never boot. I was still able to boot into TWRP, so I tried a manual flash of Pure Nexus and MTC20F Vendor, no luck... Then I tried reflashing the Android 7 OTA update and boot.img, still a boot loop... There was an earlier thread about this issue, but I felt led to make sure this news and warning gets out!!! I ended up contacting google and project fi and I am getting a replacement phone.

While this issue seems to be rare I want to list my conditions in hoping preventing the issue for you!

- I was on MTC20F Vendor (with Pure Nexus)

- I flashed the Android 7 OTA update from the latest Pure Nexus build

- I did a semi dirty flash (could be root of problems) (I did this due to a recommendation, that was meant for a stock android 6 to 7 upgrade)

- The root of the issue could be going from a custom rom to the stock Android 7

- My system was rebooting and restating just fine with Android 7

- I wiped my system and flashed Pure Nexus back and the issues started

- This issue for now has no fix; Heisenberg (really thanks man) was a big help but didn't know what to do about it

Hey anyone who sees and reads this; would super appreciate answering the poll so we as a community can collect data about this problem to help prevent it in the future. Currently there is no fix for this weird semi(can access recovery)/hard(never boots into system) brick

Thank you!

An important warning to all upgrading to Android 7 right now!

I currently find myself stuck on the boot animation (the colored circles) after trying to flash 7 then going back to Pure Nexus. I did a full data and system wipe before trying to install 7, but it still hung on the boot animation. Now after restoring my nandroid and reflashing Pure Nexus I'm still stuck on the boot animation.

Edit: Whew, reflashing Pure Nexus then restoring just the vendor image seem to have gotten me back to M.

So a while ago I noticed that when I do a factory reset on my phone, the apps that I HAVE INSTALLED remain installed. Even if I delete them I don't have access to the rest of the memory, I have about 2,4GB free of 4GB. (Note: The phone has and 8GB internal storage, and before I encountered this problem I had access to the 4GB)

Now for the other part. When I connect my phone to my PC, it should show 2 drives well mine doesn't show the second one anymore (which is the internal storage) just the SD one. If I remove the SD and plug my phone back into my PC, it shows the Partition of the internal memory, called G:, but I get this error message, G:/ Is not accessible. Incorrect function. .

Try flashing TWRP again with adb and soon after you send the fastboot reboot command keep the vol+ button pressed.

Maybe you make some mistake when push buttons... ( Phone off. press PWR and Vol + until phone vibrate, then release PWR button but still press Vol + until you see menu TWRP - 10-15 seconds )
