i use Spb Backup, which does exactly what you are asking. You get your phone how you want it, make a backup, then you can go back to that point whenever and it is exactly the same.

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/ or pm me
[Mogul, XV6800 General] mac4lyfe:
Actually, I use Spb Clone which I think goes one step forward where you can load your image to several phones at once. Same great company.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] donvtx1300c:
Thanks a bunch, mac4lyfe and Sturatt!

I checked out the website, and you're correct...it looks like just what I was looking for. One question, though. I keep reading that it makes a backup onto the phone itself! It looks like it makes some sort of a self-extracting executable that is copied to the phone, and then can be run if you need a restore. I'm not sure how much sense it makes to put the backup file on the phone...what if the phone is lost, destroyed, or unbootable? So my question is, can you set up the backup so that the phone is backed up to your laptop or desktop PC? That way the backup file would be separated from the phone, and then could be used if and when the phone needed hard-resetting or replacing. I can't find anything in the documentation to let me know if this is possible.

Thanks again for your expertise!!!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Mr Nur:
sweet, thx man..
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Sturatt:
spb backup only backs up the main device memory, not the storage card. so it puts the backup exe on the storage card, which you can then move to your computer.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] yakky:
I use Sprite Backup, same concept, they also have a nice backup file browser for the PC that lets you get inidividual items out of the backup file should you just need one particular item. There is also the option to backup directly to the PC instead of the card with Sprite.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] qu1nn:
I have been using sprite backup.

the application performs a scheduled backup (password protected) to the sd card.

sometimes I manually backup just the personal databases as a standalone.

I manually transfer the entire sd card to the pc every once and a while (cause depending on the card usage may make the card die sooner).... can't wait till sprite can do this automagically via wifi.

the only time I had any issues is with sprite bacup is with the rom upgrade.... even though they say it can be done... it didn't take, from what I gather its best to reinstall all from scratch once a rom update is performed anyways.....

qu1nn
[Mogul, XV6800 General] rajuabju:
Not true. You can also have SPB backup all the contents of your storage card if you wish.

Of course, if you start getting backups that are huge, it becomes difficult to manage and takes FOREVER.

I use SPB Backup, and I have it scheduled to automatically run a full backup of my phone at 4am each morning. It backs up the entire main memory, and a few select folders on my storage card. All backups are kept in a folder on my storage card called.... Backups.

Each backup file for me generally averages about 40MB compressed.

I keep 5 days worth of backups, and once a week, I transfer one of these onto my computer for safekeeping as well. I also have it soft reset my phone each night so in the morning, I'm set to go.

I used sprite backup, it also works well, but I like SPB more. Highly recommend it.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr0adam:
So my title wouldve been longer if I could have allowed it but basically this is what happened

I tried to flash the latest ParanoidAndroid but it got stuck on the boot logo for about 45 minutes. Probably because I was on f2fs and forgot to flash a kernel.

After getting a red font message in TWRP saying /system could not be mounted/found, I did a full format of my phone and flashed a different custom ROM, which got me stuck at the white font screen that just says Google and shows the unlock symbol on the b ottom.

Using the toolkit I flashed stock which worked, as well as manually flashing TWRP through fastboot.

I then did a full wipe like normal when switching ROMs and tried to flash Nitrogen ROM which once again lead me to the white font Google screen.

What should I do exactly so I can flash a custom ROM again, because currently the only thing that is working is stock ROM.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennyboy2120:
I'd suggest trying to format data, in Twrp in the wipe section should be a button on the bottom end that says Format data, Erase it Flash all from a stock image and reinstall twrp.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr0adam:
Are you referring to the same format data that makes you type in "yes" before doing it? I did that too but I didnt try to re-install TWRP.

And currently after the wipe im on stock recovery so I'm going to go back to The Flashs TWRP that he made as opposed to the latest version of TWRP that prompts for an app install at the end. As I never had this issue on Flashs TWRP

Thanks for the suggestion.

Ok installing the TWRP after a format didnt do **** unfortunately. Still bootlooping.

Flash stock image via fastboot with flash all, check OEM unlock to dev options, lock and unlock the bootloader to completely wipe your phone. Don't forget checking dev options for OEM unlock between lock and unlocking. flash latest official twrp and try custom rom again.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sy36:
Hi there,

after owning my z5 for nearly 2 years now, I really want to get back to cyanogen / lineage os. I loved CM on my old Galaxy S4!

I read in several posts and forums that, when unlocking my bootloader without backing up the drm keys of my z5 device, the quality of the photos / camera will get worse, ' cause the sony algorithm for image processing won't work anymore without those keys.

But....

When I open up the bootloader (wihtout prior downgrade to Adroid 5 for backing up my drm keys), in order to get root access, install a custom recovery like twrp and flash lineage os, wouldn't be those drm-keys be useless either way? Or do I have a misunderstanding in anyway? Because when flashing lineage OS , I suppose the sony algorithms for picture enhancement won't be used anyway, because of the different OS (lineage instead of "Sony-Android") ?

Second question:

Does anyone have experience with a rooted xperia z5, without drm-keys (no prior backup) ? Is the picture quality really so much worse? Especially when using cyanogenmod or lineage OS or any other aosp?

thx for your input :)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sceryavuz:
Q1.Downgrade android 6 with flashtool. No need BL unlock. Read my thread. Download android 6 ftf and follow step 1 to 14. Use backupTA v2, works with android 6 and no need root access. Then unlock bootloader.

Q2.All custom roms has drm fix solution, so no need drm keys anymore. In my thread there are also patched kernels which means no need drm, everything works like stock.

You have z5 about 2 years, so no need to backup keys. Your warranty is void now. Unlock bootloader, use custom roms or stock with ROOT access and many features.. Try all stock based roms like existens, rsx. They have XZ UI and many more..

Have fun with your new Z5 experience.

If the goal is to avoid any phone call between those hours, then you can use phoneAlarm or PhoneWeaver or something else which can switch profile at specified time. So at 10pm switch to "night" profile and 5am switch to normal profile.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] burkay:
It is not a big deal to shut down the phone on schedule, but to bring it back on is *I believe* impossible. It is like shutting down your pc. Once shutdown there is no software running on it. Therefore, even if you had a software that is supposed to turn on the phone, it wouldn't be working once the phone is turned off.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] tompstephenson:
I've been trying to unlock the bootloader on my Pixel (US, carrier-unlocked, non-XL 128GB). My desktop recognizes the device when it is turned on, but when I boot into fastboot, I get the error:

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

A request for the USB device descriptor failed.

This only happens when it is in fastboot mode. I have tried updating drivers, manually reinstalling them from Google's website, different ports, different cables, sketchy regedit modifications, and nothing works. I researched this issue a little bit and it seems like it happens to a lot of HTC phones, which manufactured the Pixel, but I cannot find any examples of this happening to the Pixel specifically.

I'm running the latest version of Windows 10 and Android. I do have USB debugging enabled. I love this phone, but I just want to try out Paranoid Android. Anybody have any suggestions?

(Also this is my first post on XDA and I'm looking forward to getting involved in this community!)

For this tip to work, that window should say "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)". Open the Driver tab and then click the Uninstall button.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TCPDump:
Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a bit of a test that I just did on three Verizon Pixels. Specifically, when I got them from Verizon I did so via direct fulfillment (not a retail store). Doing this method I was able to boot loader unlock all three Verizon Pixels out of the box. The last one was about five minutes ago.

Here's what you'll need:

A new, in box Verizon Pixel - Important: Must be new in box!

A non-Verizon SIM card.

A Laptop

So, here's the rub. With these tests I was able to confirm that the Pixel does in fact use the SIM inserted into the phone at initial boot to determine boot loader lock ability. Long story short, if the Pixel is booted the first time with a Verizon SIM then the phone will be boot loader locked, and the OEM Unlock Toggle grayed out.

To unlock each of them I did the following:

Take the phone out of the box and inserted a co-workers AT&T SIM.

Booted the phone for the first time, and skipped all of the setup steps.

Enabled Developer Options, USB Debugging, and OEM Unlocking.

Accepted the RSA key and issues the command "adb reboot bootloader".

In bootloader mode issued the command "fastboot oem unlocking".

Flashed TWRP, and root.

Profit

The key to success here is ensuring the phone never gets booted initially with a VZW SIM inserted. This isn't so much phone hack as really a life/policy/process hack. Hope this helps!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TCPDump:
Update: I've talked to a few knowledgeable folks on the topic who think the phones I got may have been part of a batch that wasn't loaded correctly. Having said that, Im sharing my experiences and would be curious to see what everyone else's experiences are. I'd also be curious to see the following, if anyone wants to try:

Place a non VZW SIM in the phone, factory default it, and see if its enabled again.

Take a brand new out of box VZW phone and ensure it doesn't connect to ANY network, rather it be wifi or Cell. See if OEM unlock is enabled.

Also, another added benefit is that the phones don't auto-download the few Verizon turdware apps.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] JAYNO20:
Interesting...
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] deadlydecision:
Can confirm this works, my Google Pixel Verizon arrived yesterday as an RMA and I followed similar steps to unlock my Bootloader, although you can simply boot the phone without a SIM Card and these instructions will work the same.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
I have questions, the devil is in the details. Just trying to nail it down.

What version was it on when you got it?

Did you hook it to wifi for a few minutes and try the slider before it updated?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] JAYNO20:
Definitely did NOT work for my RMA from verizon, so this isn't a certain method.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] deadlydecision:
7.1. October version. Had to hook it up to Wi-fi to enable the OEM Unlock option, but I didn't allow the phone to update at all.

It was an RMA directly through Google, they just provided me with a NEW Verizon edition Pixel.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] JAYNO20:
I did the same thing with an RMA through Google after the Verizon one was a bust and got a BRAND NEW GOOGLE version of the Pixel so it was definitely unlockable. Are you sure your's was a Verizon version? Check your my verizon account and see if it shows it as a "NON-VZW Device." That's what mine shows as because it is actually a Google version.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
So it didnt get entered in the database properly as a locked phone. Or Google is so far behind they are just shipping what they can.This happens rather often and is not part of what the OP is saying.

Congrats, I am happy for you and TYVM for clearing it up.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
What if you take a Google version, put in a VZW sim, connect, update. With it be grayed out? I doubt it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] deadlydecision:
Definitely a Verizon version as it came with a pre-installed Verizon sim, which I removed before booting. Phone box also says the model is "g-2pw4100-021-b" which AFAIK is a Verizon one.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TCPDump:
It seems like the trick is to catch it BEFORE it ever gets Internet. When it comes online the first time it "phones home" and checks the IMEI blacklist. I think for this to work, most often, it needs to have never been connected to the Internet.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TCPDump:
Had your phone by chance ever gotten connected to the Internet? As in, did you boot it with the VZW SIM?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Its the other way around. It is grayed out until you connect and it finds out it is authorized to unlock. It isn't a blacklist, its a whitelist of sorts.

Thats why the ones you updates unlocked. It wasn't the update, it was the connection while it pulled the update. I am very sure of this. Seen a ton of VZ phones that can be unlocked the last couple of months. Their system is falling apart.

Early on we went through a ton of scenerios paying attention to when and how it became slidable.

This is the only explanation for what we have seen.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TCPDump:
I actually wondered if it was the fact that Google is EOLing them, and trying to eradicate their stockpile of VZW Pixels.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TCPDump:
Either way, long story short - Always check your pixel. :D
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Excellent thought. Maybe they are tired of VZ's too and are faking all these mistakes. That would be cool.

But yea, with the 2 comming this fall maybe they night be getting​ nervous.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] JAYNO20:
Nope. Pulled the Sim before boot.
