if non of the above work put the phone in bootloader manually (see the wiki) and flash a different rom
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mazin13:
yup...

as sd73ta said...

as long as you can put the phone in bootloader mode, your ok :)

just put it in bootloader mode (keep the camera hard button pressed and insert the stylus for soft reset)

you then see the tri-colored screen known as the bootloader...

then, insert your USB cable and ignore the fact that activesync is not working...

flash the rom you want to flash...and it will work hopefully :)

there! i just saved you some wiki time reading cause your in a panicked mood but after this please read read read...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Ninlour:
thank you so much guys for the fast response..

I can't wait to go home and try it out!!!!

you will save my life this way.

because i use the phone as a modem to get my online classes done.

so now i don't have to go to the library if it worked!:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Ninlour:
IT WORKEDDDD!!!!!

but i had to download a new ROM..

I used the camera botten with the softrest!!

but you know what I'm in a mood for some customized ROM

what's your favorite one guys?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] monx®:
Just test all custom rom if u really in mood to use one.

flashing one rom is less than 5mins using SD. Then u will find one which will best suit ur need ;)

p/s : and maybe u could modify ur thread topic since ur prob has been solved :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] brat1475:
I would use this ROM, they seem very stable and work well on my Tilt. Good luck.

PLEASE READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU TRY TO FLASH A COOKED ROM:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] johndabrit:
Best advice I can give you is search and read. Read the wiki. This is an obvious suggestion but it will help in more ways than one. You get the answer to your question but you also learn the correct terminology which HELPS YOU TO ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS :) Since you are new at flashing, i would suggest you keep an open mind, experiment, but research to see if your chosen methodology is good before you turn your device into a brick.

Prerequisites:

1. update your bootloader to something brick proof.

2. make sure you pick a radio which is compatible with the rom you have chosen.

What to look for?

1. Usually the chefs are nice enough to place a date on their threads when they announce a new build. Keep your eyes open for that and also updates within the threads as the builds, bugfixes, and download locations are updated sometimes multiple times a day on hot threads.

2. start with a bloated full build which is full of aps and tweaks and decide what you like/dislike about it. You may find that you rarely use some of the stuff and want to run a bit leaner.

3. Find a completely stripped down lite build and build it up piece by piece with cabs(cabinet file installers). You've now seen both sides of the spectrum while also gaining some flashing experience.

What to do next?

Now that you have decided which utils and apps you need, tweak the settings and dial them in. You'll learn much by playing with settings and watching the behavior of the device change.

And Finally:

Find a build which is as close to what you settled on yourself. Chances are the chefs have put something together which will surpass your expectations and can be modified the way you like it with just a few cabs/tweaks after install.

Good Luck.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Aserar:
I tried backup and restore on POCO F3 and I think it was successful on A11 but I dont think restore ever worked since A12. Always had error 255 at the beginning of restoring data partition. Has anyone been successful restoring a backup of android 13?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Of course. Backup and restore work fine on OrangeFox.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
Bit unrelated, but I always use Swift Backup for backing up apps+appdata. It can backup other things as well.

Requires Root, but you can always uninstall Magisk Root
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Aserar:
Both OFX and TW failed me at restore I can't think of any reason why if it's working with others. Do you remove screen lock before backing up? Never had to before but it's the only thing I could think of
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Aserar:
Yeah I do a swift backup also messages call log all of it but setting up the rest of the phone, logging back into accounts, is a pain, plus I always find an app or something that I forgot to refresh its backup. Nothing is like nand backup if you're testing new rom and might just go back
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Possibly a result of user error. If you explain the process that you went through in order to restore the backups, and provide logs of the restore process, then I might be able to comment.

And you might want to read this wiki very carefully.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Aserar:
Oh I've gone through the ofx wiki before with no success. It could be the screen lock on EU A13 roms. I had the issue two times then I gave up on backing up roms. I didn't care to save a log sadly bc I was in a hurry to get the phone working again. The restore process was straight forward. Restore from OTG. It starts normally and as soon as it hits restoring /data it ends with error 255. It doesn't start restoring data then fails after a while. It fails instantly as soon as restore data partition appears. I'll try without screen lock if it still fails I'll send you the log. Thank you for your hard work though
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
1. Idk about EU. But I have backed up and restored stock MIUI 14 many times, with no problem.

2. "Error 255" is always accompanied by an explanatory message in the recovery logs, which will show what caused the error.

3. Firstly, ensure that your OrangeFox is actually up-to-date (ie, that you are using the latest release).

4. Whether or not you have a screenlock before making the backup should not affect anything (as long as there is no screenlock set up at the time of restoring the backup). The lockscreen PIN/password is not included in the backups.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Aserar:
Yeah screen lock was never an issue before but it is the only thing I could think of. It could be something with EU. And yes I keep recovery up to date even when I don't switch roms. I made a backup of AOSP rom that I will probably restore soon. I'll keep you updated if the issue persists.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Well, I have now made backups and restores of the latest EU ROM (14.0.6.0) - boot and data partitions - without any problem (both with and without screen locks - obviously there must be no lockscreen PIN/password when restoring).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Aserar:
And I restored my AOSP backup with no errors! I wish I hadn't deleted my EU backup that I got the error with. The EU rom I had was the latest weekly release V14.0.23 bc the official release had issues but I doubt its that. I'm at a loss :/
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Do you have a link for that release?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] johnr64:
Sorry for also deviating, just my two pennies worth,

I moved away from Migrate-GPE and Swift backup and have been using DataBackup.apk, this also requires root.

As usual DB saves your Apps and there Data, you also have the option to save Media Folders, DCIM, Download, Music, Pictures, Folders, i also save these to my Usb Stick using a OTG adaptor, DataBackup can be found is my "Temporary Recovery" folder.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Aserar:
Honestly I can't be sure of the exact release since its weekly. I looked it up and I can narrow it down to like 3 or 4 releases but it could be this one

https://sourceforge.net/projects/xiaomi-eu-multilang-miui-roms/files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-WEEKLY-RELEASES/V14.0.23.4.10.DEV/xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V14.0.23.4.10.DEV_v14-13.zip/download
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Is this on the Play Store?

Having an alternative backup plan is good. But I have always found nandroid backups sufficient - as long as you know what you're doing.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
I have backed up and restored this release as well, with no problem. I have satisfied myself (again) that there is no problem with backup/restore in OrangeFox Recovery, so, for me, this investigation is concluded.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Aserar:
Lol there was no need for investigating my friend! The point of the thread was to see if its generally working with others and so eliminate it as the reason for the fail.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] johnr64:
Sorry for not getting back sooner,

I found DataBackup while watching youtube videos "Like You Do",

the source is on GitHub
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
It's no big deal. I always try to investigate problems, since they might possibly point to a problem in the recovery.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] lapirado:
Same here. Since a12 that nandroid gives error on restoring. After that I don't count with that anymore. Ive been relying on Google to restore some apps, and on swift backup to restore the ones that are out of ps.

Before I was using migrate, but have put it aside, since the last time I've got error on zip file and so unable to restore my apps (a real pita). Swift have working flawlessly, and with the advantage of restore app settings too.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Renate:
Stupid question:

According to a quick Google, the Poco F3 has UFS 3.1 memory, not NAND.

I've been working with the Netgear LM1200 LTE modem which uses NAND.

I've only seen NAND in similar modems and hot spots.

I don't know of any Android phone that uses it.

So, why are we talking about NAND?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
"Nand" is not being used here in reference to any specific storage medium. Nandroid is simply a shorthand and legacy term for image and filesystem backups of the phone's storage (whatever the underlying hardware may be).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Renate:
Thanks. Ok, when I want a "bomb-proof" backup, I just go to EDL and save the whole memory.

That also works for NAND memories. :p

[Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV] rotorrocket:
Hello,

I have a Philips 50PFL5766/F7. If I go into settings and select reset (there is no physical reset button on this unit), it doesn't actually reset the tv. Once it reboots, the personal Google account is still there. The TV doesn't boot into Android TV at all, only to an HDMI source. The TV attempts to process a Google update (989MB) on startup but it seems the file is too big or it's corrupted and fails to complete. I've tried deleting individual apps to make room to process the update but on reboot, they reappear. It's as though the OS and data are locked and read-only.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] FOSA:
RE

I don't really get what you're saying

By default, except for the button for 'Today', the rest of the keys are assigned as 'Context Menu'

I tried to assign one button to a SCREENON utility but after a soft reset it returns back to 'Context Menu'. Apparaently, it's not sticking

BTW, how to get out of the Buttons screen? I need to soft reset to do so.

May be my SCREENON utility is the wrong one. What I need is a POWERON utility.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] füli:
Greetings everyone.

Im using a GW 5 pro with a Z Fold 3.

I wonder is it possible to open the notification tile on the watch with wrist gesture or shaking the watch etc.

For example im driving ....i get a notification.....i cant read it because im busy.....i want to read it a few minutes later and i have to swipe to read it..

What it would be great is some standalone app for the watch only where i can set this up.

I tryed

Shake launcher app

Wear gesture launcher app

Gesture controll app

Wrist gestures (in the settings)

Non of them works for what i want

Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks

[OnePlus 11] m0d hipp¥:
Hoping I can get some assistance. Seeing as TWRP isn't a viable option right now for the OnePlus 11, I'm curious if there is a good way to do a full system backup/restore (mimic what TWRP did) using ADB or some other native way or application. When I last played around with Titanium I didn't see a good way of performing this task. It's possible I wasn't doing it correctly, but I was playing around with the batch options and couldn't get it to do anything.

Anyway, my thought was to write a powershell script and backup all the partitions that way, but here is my question. On my oneplus 11 (I have the CPH2451 model) I can go to "/dev/block/by-name" and see all the partitions. I can use the adb shell dd if of command to copy it to my sd card and then pull it on to my computer for example, but is this the proper process to back up the system, data, settings?

I notice in TWRP when you go through the backup process, you have the option to backup boot, system, vendor/OEM, data, modem, efs partitions. That leads me to my next question when I traverse through the path I posted above, there are a ton of partitions there, not to mention many duplicate for exable boot_a and boot_b. So when I back it up would I need to back up everything or is there a fast & clean way to backup the minimum required data without missing anything important?
[OnePlus 11] kpirnie:
Root and try Swift for app, phone, sms backups.

Otherwise, since almost none of the other partitions are writable anymore, it's pretty pointless backing them up. But you could with DD (again, you would need to be rooted)... fastboot and fastbootd should be capable of writing the partitions back to the device.
[OnePlus 11] WoKoschekk:
All you need to backup is /data since all others are included in your firmware. Problem when do a backup of /data: You need to perform the backup while system is running. You can't access /data from outside the system without TWRP. If you perform a backup use Termux and the tar command for it. The built in tar command of Android is very limited. Termux offers you a full version of tar.
[OnePlus 11] m0d hipp¥:
Thanks for your reply. My device is rooted so that's not a problem. It's just a shame that TWRP doesn't seem to be a viable option. As far as SMS back goes, I'm not too concerned about that because I primarily use google voice, so basically all my contacts and SMS/MMS is saved in the cloud. My biggest concern is just getting a working backup of the system/configurations because I tend to do quite a bit of customizations on my phone and it would suck having to redo everything.

Thank you as well for your reply. I'm assuming termux is a android based terminal? if termux can do it; would adb/adb shell be able to? The only reason I ask is because it's much easier to type commands from a computer than on the phone. Also what commands would I use? Is there a tut I can follow?
[OnePlus 11] WoKoschekk:
Yes, Termux is an app. ADB could do, but with ADB you have only access to Android's built in commands in /system/bin. Termux offers an own environment with full versions of all the limited built in ones.
[OnePlus 11] m0d hipp¥:
That makes sense. I'll have to play around with it after work and see what I can figure out. Thanks
[OnePlus 11] WoKoschekk:
There are a few things to take care of. I'll post them later here.
[OnePlus 11] birdie:
For those who are not rooted:

OnePlus Clone Phone app allows to create full backs by copying apps and their data to a different OnePlus/Oppo phone.

adb backup/restore has long stopped working "thanks" to Google.
[OnePlus 11] m0d hipp¥:
Sorry I haven't had a chance to test the methods above, but just to be more clear on my end, I'm not super concerned about backing up apps because there are several ways of doing that. Lucky patcher among other tools allows you to backup apps & app settings. I'm a bit more concerned about system settings/configurations. For example if I wanted to do a backup of my current state the system is in. I have over 100 apps disabled and having to redo that is a bit tedious. Not only that, but also all the configurations I have made within the system settings I'd like to save those as well. So this is really what I'm targeting.

EDIT:

For starters I wrote this simple script in Powershell that gets all the partitions on my device.

$Partition_Path = "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name"

foreach($Partition in $(adb shell ls $Partition_Path))
{
$Partition
}

My question is if I went the termux route or the adb shell route to try and do a backup using the command:

adb exec-out "su -c dd if=$Partition_Path/$Partition of=/sdcard/Backup/$Partition.img"

which of these partitions would be the ones I should focus on backing up? By the way, there are 3 partitions that are HUGE so I don't think they're necessary, but let me know if they are. The 3 partitions are super, userdata, and logdump. By the way userdata is like over 100Gb, and that's unrealistic because my phone def doesn't have that much data on there.
[OnePlus 11] WoKoschekk:
All settings and apps and app data is stored on /data. If you backup /data and save it on /sdcard (which is the path /data/media/0) your backup runs infinitely
[OnePlus 11] WoKoschekk:
TWRP does a backup either by dd or with tar. The command dd creates an image and tar an archive. It doesn't make sense to create an image of /data for two reasons: encryption will be corrupt and you don't have enough storage space on /data to save an image of /data.
