[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] |||||:
Hi Guys :cowboy:

Today I want to bring some simple and effektive Insights on proper Device & Software Management and also about Mistakes on the Way and Solutions! :good: ;)

So make yourself comfortable and check this out! It will really help at one point or another!

Well well, so after a really long and stressfull day with no sleep at all for now straight 40h, I just got a HUGE Relief, that I finally found a Solution for this Struggle!

Over the Years it got much more complicated with rooting etc because the Manufacturere make it more complicated every year and protect their (our) devices.

So after beeing in the Community for a While I want to give back! And also give out a HUGE THANKS for everyone here in the XDA Community & who is here and helps in some way! :fingers-crossed::highfive:

And especially really big THANKS! to all the great developers here! :)

What happened?

(you can find the whole struggle here - in this thread (there was no help...!))

Yesterday, when I was tired, but I wanted to "quickly Update" to latest Firmware of Beyond Rom (from 5.2 to 5.8)

But then it all went wrong. I made some hasty actions and so Mistakes followed and it all went wrong in some way or another...

Basically I screwed up my System and it would be gone ! So I thought, unti now! But let me explain first and write about Mistakes one can make... (dispite having alot of experience over the years)

MISTAKES

Not to make a proper Backup, before modifieng anything on the System! :eek:

This is one of the worst mistakes, because when it's gone - it's gone! All the Time, Work and Unique Things (Pictures/Videos/Conversations etc)

• No Backup

• No/little Preparation

• Risky Filemanagement

• Hasty work

• work too tired on complicated or critical things

Problem:

Yesterday I saved the FULL TWRP SYSTEM/DATA/etc Backup on the internal Backup, because the 200 GB external SD-Card was full or didn't had enought Space... (I didn't removed all the Photos and Videos I made for a while)

AND not only that - I also did save the whole November on the internal SD-Card and did not make an extra BACKUP!! (NOTE: copy all unique files from internal SDCARD to hard drive - before flashing the new ROM-Update!) :( :cyclops:

Also after that I thought, I didn't had the right TWRP Version (not latest) and quickly decided to flash the recovery.img with it, inside twrp as a the last resort... bad Idea, because after that it would not let me in (it wasn't compatible with 5.2 - see the beyond rom thread)

when I made the Combination of Keys: VOLup+Bixby+Power = RECOVERY the screen instantly dissapeared and I was shocked... there was more and more. One Time it says something like "Only use original Firmware..." when I wanted to go to download Modus! Combination VOLdown+Bixby+USB-C-Cable-plug-in = Download Mode

The whole Day I had a really really bad Feeling about this whole thing, I thought it was lost, so many unique pictures (family, spezial events etc) and communications, new contacts etc. everything would be lost!

It was soo hard - that I got a spontanious Idea.... wich probably saved my Ass! I bought a new Galaxy S10 today and flashed about 100 GB up and down of different Versions of DBT Firmware, AP Files and Custom Roms...

Until I got it right!

So I really got into it today and I found those Tutorials here

Solution:

• Found the Samsung S10 Rooting Dynamics & how to avoid the stumbling blocks

• Read the Proper Tutorial & watch a Video on how to do it.

• Combine everything and try it out first in an secure enviroment and then go for the real deal!

• Make sure it works!

• Set your Focus, Heart & Intentions properly! This is the main weapons in life to become sucessful in any situation - in the long run!

CONCLUSIONS:

• Always Backup properly, before working in the System - even on smaller Things - working with Titanium Backup, removing System related Apps) - it might cause a Bootloop afterwards!

• Make at least a Full TWRP Backup, before updating or modifing something critical / System related

• You always come back to your Backup when something goes wrong - you will be happy, you made it, I guarantee you that!

• When its complicated check out multiple Sources & People or someone who made it very good - when you want to learn to be successful with the thing you do.

• Don't decide to quickly when it has big consequences (I could have taken my older Backup from 1. November by this time)

• You always will find a good solution - in the end - if you focus on finding the solution as long as it takes and in several tries - don't let complicated things or fails overwhelm you.

I'm now really happy, because everything went good in the End and I had some very good Learnings & Experience on the Way!

That what Problems are for... to learn and grow! So don't worry about the Problems to much, but ask & go in the Direction for Solutions! UNTIL - you find the way ;)

I hope you can find something valueble here in.

Ok enought with the Motivation Stuff.

In the next Post I show the concrete steps and what also to keep in mind!

Thanks for reading and best regards

God bless you & you bless all around you :victory:
