[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Wickii:
Is it possible to do this with windows cmd?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] michael_ch:
Hmm, that looks really complicated. How about rsync instead?

(Note: This requires root and it requires rsync... It's present on CyanogenMod and probably other custom roms, but usually not on stock ROMs...)

1. Create rsync.conf:
[root]
path = /
read only = no
uid = root
gid = root

2. Upload the file to the phone
$ adb push rsync.conf /sdcard/

3. Restart adbd with root permissions
$ adb root

4. Set up TCP forwarding of the rsync daemon through adb
$ adb forward tcp:9873 tcp:873

5. Run the daemon on the phone
$ adb shell /system/xbin/rsync --daemon --config /sdcard/rsync.conf --no-detach

6. Copy files in both directions
rsync -v rsync://localhost:9873/root/
rsync --help

Edit: You can also run rsync via SSH, e.g. with the help of SSHdroid:

rsync -e "ssh -l root -p 2222" -v <phone-ip>:/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] osm0sis:
adbsync utility by [MENTION=4474482]Renate NST[/MENTION] is pretty perfect for this too. I've got a batch automation for Windows packaged up in my Odds and Ends thread but I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to get something similar setup for Linux.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tarcis:
Nice!

Is there a way to do this but instead of coping files, copy the raw data from the internal memory? So that I can recover deleted files from the device from the generated raw file.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] char101:
Something like (run in the host console)

adb exec-out "cat <sdcard partition> 2>/dev/null" > sdcard.raw

Or

adb exec-out "dd if=<sdcard partition> bs=64k 2>/dev/null" > sdcard.raw

This works on Windows too.

Something like on the first post that works on Windows but without the progress report (which is what the FIFO is for):

adb exec-out "tar czf - /sdcard" > sdcard.tar.gz

adb exec-out is an undocumented adb command that works like adb shell but without creating a pseudoterminal thus it works with binary content.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tech3475:
Has it been confirmed that all files are backed up this way? Main issue I have when backing up via MTP is that not all files seem to be transferred properly e.g. Carbon/Helium backups missing the json file.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xdvs23:
As far as I know, tar backups all files recursively in the directory you specified. Hence that should work perfectly fine. I recommend to use TWRP 3+ for this, but you can also try it on android itself.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xdvs23:
It depends on your device, but in general, you can transfer any binary data over exec-out in highspeed.

adb root
adb exec-out "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0" > mmcblk0.img

In this case it would copy the whole internal storage including all partitions and everything from 0 to end of your internal emmc to your computer.

On newer devices/systems you can also use the following to copy the single partitions (in this example /data) as raw image to your pc:

adb root
adb exec-out "dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata">userdata.img

Examples for partition names: system, data, userdata, cache, boot, LOGO, recovery, ...

If you want to compress all partitions separately into a tar archive, following command should do:

adb root && adb exec-out 'cd /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name && tar -ca ./' > allpartitions.tar

This would also work on windows.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tarcis:
Thank you so much for the commands, but I ran them on Windows, and I get no error, but the output file is 1kb.

I tried running on dos prompt, I´ll try again tomorrow on cygwin
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cuddas:
thank but too hard for me :(

can i have another software to do this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Emma Tayler:
There are a few ways which you can make a Nandroid backup. The recommended way is to use a custom recovery to create one, and it’s the only way to restore from one. You should be able to use any custom recovery that offers Nandroid backup capabilities — if you don’t want to search around, the best choices are CWM and TWRP. Once you’ve flashed a custom recovery onto your device, you can boot into it and choose to create (or later on, restore from) a Nandroid backup. It’ll go through the process and create a backup file on your microSD card or other equivalent storage location.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xdvs23:
Then tell me how to create a nandroid backup from your internal storage (/sdcard or /data/media/0)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xdvs23:
Then open the file using e.g. notepad and show me the contents. It could be an error message or something...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xdvs23:
I'm actually making backup tools which you can then use to create backups easily, maybe I'll also make a program with a user interface for windows where you can do that much easier.

Of course I cant promise anything atm cuz I have some other things to do as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] J0NiK:
replace with this one

adb shell mkfifo /bk.pipe && adb exec-out 'tar -cvap data/media/0 2>/bk.pipe' | dd of=sdcard.tar & adb shell cat /bk.pipe &
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tarcis:
good idea!

The files contained:

allpartitions.tar: /sbin/sh: syntax error: unterminated quoted string on one tr

mmcblk0.img: 0kb

sdcard.raw : /sbin/sh: syntax error: unexpected redirection

userdata:img: dd: can't open '/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata': No such file or directory

Does this help?

http://syedtahir16.blogspot.in/2014/11/the-ultimate-android-backup-solution.html
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tarcis:
No, but thanks. The ideia is to be able to backup without being able to load the OS.

Hi,

I'm looking for the best apps for tracking TV Shows. Just switched back to Android and I'm a little lost right now. An App that connects via Trakt.tv would be nice. Tried SeriesGuide already but there must be something better out there. So which apps do you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance,

JB

I was following a thread where they had cm13 working as a daily on the note 5. I have sprint and everything worked but it did mot see my sim. They have since took it off the xda do to some drama between dev's. Was curious if anyone else is making progress on cm13?
[Galaxy Note5 General] abax44:
PM The_grim_creeper and ask for an invite. ;)
[Galaxy Note5 General] bam654:
Haha i had the rom just data isnt working on sprint was hoping someone else would be working on it and get it fully working on sprint

+ It would be kinda nice to see a little bit of functional conformity amongst the extremes of TouchWiz & AOSP radicals..... Even finding a base TW ROM with G-apps etc. removed isn't very easy on a forum dedicated to developing.....
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
There's a CM13 ROM in the original android dev thread I'm running it now on my N920C runs smooth!
[Galaxy Note5 General] LilAnt530:
RaymanFX's build I would assume? I envy you having the N920C as you guys seem to have almost all the same dev as the Meizu Pro5, So it must be a lot easier to work on that variant than the F or T variants.
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
Its originally for the T variant and I think it works with other variants too take a look at the thread
[Galaxy Note5 General] LilAnt530:
Got a link? Lol, I just tend to get lost in the forums & if it's a T model port I'm definitely interested, may just get a voice & flashlight fix yet :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
Its raymans one dude he has a N920T so he tests his build on that :D

[Galaxy Note5 General] LilAnt530:
Yea I'm alright on that one, been using this Mynogen backup as a daily driver the last time I tried to use his build I ended up back on TouchWiz for a month trying to get back to my original CM backup, I'm not sure why but that whole build was a nightmare on this one, but I am sure my model variant changes a few times between the recovery, kernel, loader, then finally system haha, I wouldn't doubt if every variant is in that stack somewhat
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] dcmtnbkr:
I'm having a weird problem with my Wing. I used the hardspl upgrade on my wing, and it worked just fine and i'm still able to flash to other roms, but for some reason i cannot flash back to the original RUU, it gets to 1% then restarts the phone and reloads the OS (as of now, i'm running PDAVIET's Touch Flo for the wing. I want to switch touch it, but in the instructions it says that you must reload the original ROM to complete the upgrade. Anybody know how to fix this problem?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
I don't go back to the original RUU between ROMs and it works just fine. I think you'll have to remove the SPL from the RUU and the rebuild the RUU.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] canonyang_China:
extract the original RUU ,delete the spl.nbh,then flash.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] canonyang_China:
extract the original RUU ,delete the spl.nbh,then flash.not remove the spl.nb.no need to rebuild.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] dcmtnbkr:
So basically, as long as i do not want the original, I'm good to go on all other roms?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] NJ72:
Hi guys,

Odd question here, but I'm running OnTheEdgeLite 3.3 ROM, but have no real need for root. As such I'm wondering if there is a way to unroot this ROM to work with Android Pay.

I have done the full uninstall of SuperSU and it still comes up with the error saying it can't validate the operating system on my device - is this because it is a custom ROM, or is there a way to get around this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

I bought this device a week ago from Gearbest and have the following Rom installed:

Android-Version: 5.1.1

nubia UI: V3.9.6

Build: NX505J_ENCommon_V2.02

Can someone tell me, how I can update to the latest Stock-Rom (V3.86)

Regards
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] oleg77:
Hi everyone. I'm on the same boat, I have just bought a Z7 Max (NX505J) for my son.

What are the steps to update the stock 4.4 ROM to the last official one (3.86) ?

thanks
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] linom:
Its a little complicated. You will have to move to a lollipop partition first. Check this post and do exactly as given. You will first update your rom to 3.22 official version which is the first lollipop version. You can the use the same forum to find the latest update and do as the posts say to update to latest lollipop updates.

[Remix Mini General] RemixOS_Jason:
For all the developers on this board, what if you had...

a higher powered Mini

AOSP, let's say Marshmallow or better

all the dev tools you'd need to get to work

...what would you, could you dream to develop this computer to do?

TV box? Gaming console? Android PC? Smart home device?

Please share with us your brainstorm ideas on this. Have fun with it and don't think about what's already out on the market... think out of the box, reach for the stars, and all the other cliches you can think of. Please share in the comments below.

Thanks!
[Remix Mini General] Radon_22:
For me, I'd love to see a higher powered version of the Mini. It's the right form factor for kiosk deployment. I'm exploring development of a kiosk/presentation system that's Android based, and will probably center its development around a device like the Mini.

Of course, I could see something like the Mini with a more stable version of Remix giving Chromebooks a run for the money in a classroom setting. Use it in the class, unplug it, take it home, plug it into your TV and do your homework. With much, much less overhead and replacement costs than are associated with broken Chromebooks in schools. (No glass to break or hinges to abuse.)
[Remix Mini General] regwiztr:
I am not a developer but a power user (business oriented) using a mixture of computers at the office those mac's and linux pc.'s.

Then I have purchased two remix minis for my office to test and see if they could replace desktop computers. As Radon_22 said cleverly, my idea was to achieve "mobile computing!" without carrying heavy laptops by the help of home tv's. So remix mini was the good device, remix os was the brilliant but with a limited memory it couldn't replace the computer.

We business users will like to see more RAM options (4GB min.) to replace pc's.

Please give us more RAM to help the businesses all around the world to simplify IT infrastructure.

Thanks to Jide people those made great idea came true.
[Remix Mini General] JeremySS:
I'd be in for a Remix Mini with Shield like internals and horsepower along with either the ability to put apps to the sd card or 64+gb of internal memory or both. With the changes to Android M and especially N, 16gb of internal memory is no longer enough.

well I like something like win 7 ultimate. with a htpc media center,good gaming and nice professional os with good look.

not the current flat look but something more 3d like seven was.

but I am sure you prefer a idea for your Android stuff...

so what about jide making intel cherry trail devices? those could be nice for TV box or computer? or good snapdragon with long term support?
[Remix OS for PC] moriel5:
Or MediaTek, but force them to give you updated kernel sources and release them to the public.

Just saying because MTK chips last longer, and perform better (except for GPU performance) than counterpart Snapdragon chips.
[Remix OS for PC] tailslol:
not mediatek they hide their resources sometime. and absolutely not Allwinner their chip are ****s... Rockchip or amilogic S is OK in the worse case scenario...

NVIDIA tegra are pricey but good for all in ones.especialy with Google support behind.

Or you can cheat on the support by using same Chips as Android one phones, nexus. or pixel..so no source hiding.
[Remix OS for PC] moriel5:
Did you not see what I had witten about forcing MediaTek to release their kernel sources?

Rockchip also hides many of their kernel sources, and are a pain to work with, (I had to use an ancient computer from over a decade ago, and had to install Windows XP, since it wouldn't work with anything newer).

Allwinner are a solid choice, since they are much more open with their sources, and are much easier to work with, it's just that not many developers work with them, but those that do, testify to them being much easier to work with.

About Amlogic, I have no idea.

Nvidia, are really good, but are even worse than MediaTek and Rockchip at releasing kernel sources, so unless it's the same chipset as the Nexus 9, it needs to be out of the question.

But please no BIG.little processors, they are great on paper, however in the real world, while they deliver, they don't deliver even close to what they should, ending up being a waste of money, since the worth:cost ratio is much farther.
[Remix OS for PC] tailslol:
the thing about big little... nowadays with the failure of TV boxes and the slow death of tablets most big company are targeting the phone market.

and big little is mostly for phones ...

but I think the only problem is not targeting the lower end or not using too old than 2 years chips and sometime it is just better to spend a lil more for higher support and better performances.

on Nvidia side almost all chips have been open sourced by Google long time ago.

the tegra x1 in pixel c the tegra 2 3 4 and k1 in nexus tablets... so yea....
[Remix OS for PC] moriel5:
Ah sorry, I had checked it.

And it looks like they have their own code repository now, so things have definitely changed.
[Remix OS for PC] moman2000:

[Remix OS for PC] electrikjesus:
What about using the mini along with wireless display, and use them as a home security/automation hub? Allowing many apps and already existing "connected" devices like Philips HUE, WiFi Cameras, etc to connect and be configured for automation. Then assigning older android devices to pair and be set in various rooms, to be used as wifi motion detectors.
[Remix OS for PC] SferaDev:
Well as a developer, I'd improve the way I interact with my devices as an user.

Chromecast and Android Home devices are great but they're not how the future should actually look. In my opinion Google is limiting hardware on those devices to keep prices low and make them impossible to run upcoming software, more powerful software.

Okay let's say we have an AIO device (similar to Android Home) but with a few sets of functionality baked in:

- Network attached Storage: Store all the things you want to share with the family (photos, music, movies...)

- Network attached Storage: Stream whatever is hosted in the box to the "cast enabled devices around the device"

- Network attached Storage: Synced folders between family devices per user request (similar to how resilio sync works)

- Network attached Storage: Remote access for downloads (you're out of home but you start a download that will be waiting for you when you arrive)

- Assistant: Always On Keyword detection

- Assistant: Customized context-aware commands per user inside the network (If John or his devices are not connected to the Wireless network or discoverable through BLE don't suggest content that he might like)

- Assistant: TV as a remote interface of the device with a dashboard, the device microphone as a IO device of the TV.

- Assistant: Device state awareness, notify when battery is low on x device.
