you can change behavior of X button in Advanced Config

Hello everyone

First I want to give felicitations for the best forum ever to help everyone.

Now i have a unbranded lg ks20, and i want to try the rom with windows 6.5. But the rom that i have is in Portuguese and i want to have it in backup (if i don't like wM 6.5 i want to change it).

But i cannot find nothing that shows the way to backup my entire ROM.

Then i will use this guide. I think is very complete.

Please can anyone help me.

I only need the way to make a backup of my actual ROM

Joao Machado
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Major A:
You can't find because it's not possible to make a full backup of the rom.

Since I haven't seen a portuguese stock rom to flash back to, if you flash, you won't be able to get back to your native's language rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] joaomac7:
Hello and thanks for your reply.

But Today i find the way to dump rom of lg ks 20. Majorasshole this are not the files that i need to flash again to use the old ROM?

Thank you for your help

Joao Machado
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Major A:
It's a one shot dump, but with no possibility to reflash with the dump.

Moreover, you won't have any advantage to get back to you stock rom apart native language (if you are able to undertand everything on XDA, I guess WWE is not a real problem for you) as good keyboards with Pourtuguese T9 exist for FB or Spocky's roms, and in any case, you will have to backup and restore your datas (the dump won't backup your datas and apps).

Another great post! Thanks. I saw him putting out updates for other phones and I was waiting on ours. :)

I have to ask because the answer doesn't jump out at me, is there any reason I should ditched 1.2.3 that I have now for this one?

I have fresh rom 0.7 installed now with the 1.2.3 img
[Hero CDMA Android Development] WhiteWidows:
Haha Ive been all over since the DRIOD was rooted...lol I got some developing on the 2.1 rom going on in my spare time trying different angles but got jammed up like everyone else on the data front. If I hit any breakthroughs Ill let you know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
It has a couple new features. Such as the ability to clear dalvik-cache (it was previously only off the sdcard, not from /data) and it has a new backup program that is an alternative to nandroid (looks like maybe it backs up your sd card too?). But it won't do anything to help the the phone out in any way.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lv2bll:
this should work with the flashrec method right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lv2bll:
hey flipz, when is your next fresh update coming out, im planning on updating them both at the same time?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nelson8403:
Code:

Copy recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img to the root of your sdcard

Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)

Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...

adb shell

$su (not required if you have root already)

#mount -a

#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img

just follow those steps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
Best feature ever! the nandroid in this version will allow you to pick from your different nandroid backups. So if you make one every week or every day you can scroll through the list and pick which one you want. *swoon*

I am leaving to go out of town on Thursday. I'm hoping to get it released by then, however I have lots of surprises up my sleeve and I want to get them all in there (yes... it is still a 1.5 rom! ha).

Any ideas? I have the 1.2.3 recovery loaded now.

EDIT:

I attempted to load it from terminal on the phone...bad idea. Got about 20 "mtd: Read error at MEMORYADDRESSOFSOMETYPE (Out of Memory)"

Completely at a loss here...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
@Kcarpenter

I did the same thing. First attempted from PC with same result as you, then from Terminal on the phone.. now I cannot boot into recovery at all.

Phone seems to work normally but on some reboots it goes to fastboot usb and stays there.

I cannot connect through adb when it is in fastboot mode.

What should I do to fix/upgrade my recovery?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
apps+dalv to sd

apps+dalv to sd

is there any advantage to this other than creating more space on the device itself? does it slow down the system when accessing these from an sd card?

just good questions. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
I was frustrated with the results that Google's Terminal Emulator provided, so I purchased Better Terminal Emulator Pro and retried the Recovery update and it worked flawlessly.

I can now use 1.5.1!

I love that it lets you choose which Nan Backup you want to restore!

Great work RA!:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
Is there a option to partition your SD card to fat32-ext2-swap like on the other recovery screen. I did not see this anywhere.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Same issue here, I assume we are going to have to figure out WTF we did to Fstab. Hopefully someone better versed in Linux can help us out.:confused: I can't even Nandroid now. I was thinking about pushing the Sprint RUU I have back to it and starting from the begining, but oh so painful. :(

If I had an extra couple of bucks right now I would go buy that better terminal to see if it would work but I am broke.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
It's $4, so just buy it and if it doesn't work, you can uninstall and it will not charge you.

I waits 24 hours install to actually bill your card.

You have 24 hours to remove it without being charged.

Personally, I am going to keep it because it is much better than the free options.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Broke = Credit Card Declined lol. Gotta love being a broke college student :cool:

I get paid in a few days, it can wait. Phone still works as long as I don't turn it off. If it does go off Ill just play with it for a few minutes and it will come back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] flipzmode:
One (or both) of you guys PM me your gtalks and I'll see if I can help you get it working. No reason that you should need to buy an app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zikronix:
i think your having the same problem i did...the file linked was actually for the gsm hero. which broke recovery. i had to boot phone in to normal mode then put the proper file and redo it heres how cause the file that was orginally linked was the gsm version so go to the first post redownload and

follow this

adb shell mount /sdcard

adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img

adb shell reboot

and that should do it :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
I just did it from Better Terminal Emulator.

This is what I did, and it worked. (The .img file was already in the root of my sd card.)

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Doesn't let me Mount anything. grrrrr. Everytime I try to mount (even devblock) I get cannot read /etc/fstab/.

I borrowed a buddies better terminal apk and it didn't help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcdroid:
if you copy recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img right to the root of SDcard (which sometimes is easier then typing ;) ) all you need to type is:

adb shell mount /sdcard

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img

adb shell reboot

anyone having other issues might want to post on the original Amon_RA post of recovery so he can keep track of any issues in case there are any bugs that need to be worked out.

@Kcarpenter. try to download the img again maybe?? reflash??

When i flashed it i was actually in the 1.2.3 recovery copied the img to sdcard directly and then ran the commands above in adb shell and worked like a charm.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Yeah, no need to push if it is already there.

However, like i said my big issue is I can't mount anything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mcdroid:
doh, sorry over looked the mount issue. have your tried to format sdcard? always a last ditch effort for me when i have problems...wipe it!!! :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Wow, let me update what just happened.

I rebooted my phone to try and at least do a nandroid before I brick this damn thing. mysteriosuly I have the new recovery image here... All the new stuff.

Upon reboot, constant Force Close messages...really constant, as fast as I can click. Now I am screwed and cont do anything lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:

Gotta say it looks nice. Cant way to try all the new features.

However, I did it using the old school

Only if you are rooted <-->also ignore the " below.:D

[Hero CDMA Android Development] masterface:
This was the only way I could get it to flash.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
It has already been said. But becareful when doing this type of stuff. Through no fault of the recovery image, still not sure what exactly happened, I had to flash my phone back with the sprint ruu.

so becareful.

You'll have to reroot, flash the image, then your rom, then your apps all again. Not to mention loosing SMS messages.

Anyone know of a good program to backup SMS? Nandroid doesn't get them.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
I use MyBackup Pro (but it is also a paid app) and WaveSecure Beta (this one is free!) https://www.wavesecure.com/

I would definitely recommend WaveSecure. It backs up SMS, Call Logs and Contacts. Beyond that it can remotely lock down your phone and wipe date. Online tracking also works but I have not tested that myself.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Semantics:
I was having issues also. I copied the flash to the root of my SD card.

when I went to adb shell I was getting this prompt

/ # and mount -a was giving me an error string

I did su from / # and got the # prompt. I then just typed the flash recovery command from the root prompt and it flashed 1.5.1 and it works just fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durhamite:
Need a little help here. I was getting errors and wasn't able to get into recovery at all. Then I did this.

"adb shell"

"su"

"cd /sdcard/"

"flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.1.img"

"reboot recovery"

It worked and now I get to recovery but it looks like I am missing a boat load of options like Nandroid. did I have the wrong img file?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durhamite:
nevermind, I am stupid. I am good to go. Didn't see the backup/restore option the first time I looked at it. Sorry...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Semantics:
Yeah, its a much smaller menu, and their are menus within the menus now. Much more streamlined. Its REALLY nice to be able to choose the restore you want, instead of having to choose only the last restore.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
hahahahaha so it worked?? :):p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durhamite:
yeah, I am good to go. After seen all those errors the first time I tried to flash it and then I wasn't able to boot into recovery, I got nervous. I am good to go now.

However... What is the difference between Nandroid and BART?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
No Idea- from my understanding, Nandroid is just to backup all your crab on your phone. - Doesn't really affect me. I use Exchange emails so everything gets backup automatically for me.

About the txts, blahh, they can all go to hell. lol. so sorry to disappoint you there man.

:cool:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] durhamite:
I get Nandroid and use it. If you don't you should. It backs up everything on your phone from the OS to everything else. If you flash a bad ROM, you just restore your nandroid backup and you are good to go. If you flash ROM's you should use it. Nandroid should be called life saver!

I just don't get the difference between them. I guess I am gonna hit google!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
Kool, Nandroid never work for me. What I was looking in Nandroid was to actually do a system mirror (current system stage) along with all the changes made to the OS. I dont think Nandroid does that. Correct me if I am wrong? I ran into flashing bad ROMs already and all i had to do was re-flash it with the good ROM. Everything worked ok.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] crunchybutternut:
That is exactly what Nandroid does. It creates a snapshot of your entire device in it's current state, which you can revert back to at any time.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kykiskly:
Ummm - Great. Thanks for info. I guess I was lucky not to run into any issues. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nanan00:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Lappie2010:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
Just a couple of questions here. This nandroid version now allows you to select which nandroid backup to restore? I want to make sure I understand. I am not sure what the bart backup is. I tried it and it said it must be run from adb.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BrianDigital:
me three........ten characters
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Semantics:
Thats correct, Nandroid now lets you choose which backup you want to restore. I'm not sure what Bart is, so I can't help there, sorry.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] esoteric1311:
this method worked for me very nicely! Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SLOYAROLE:
Notes:

1) I already copied the new v1.5.1 to my SD Card root;

2) I had my phone in the v1.2.3 recovery while doing this;

Notice, after the "mount -a" command, I received a few lines of errors. After those errors, it gave me " /# " at which I type the "su" superuser command. After entering the "su" command, it gave me a clean "#" prompt at which I typed the flash command. Rebooted and v1.5.1 was good to go. Thanks to everyone for their tips and Amon_RA for his hard work.

You can do adb devices first to see if you get a serial number to make sure your phone is actually connected.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ibegary:
I did a nandroid backup and it created a directory BCDMRS-20091210-1359 but there is no MD5 file, so theoretically a restore would fail, correct?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ebaDamagePlan:
Mine said the same thing, failed the same stuff but the image was flashed just fine and Fresh flashed w/o a problem
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Semantics:
I flashed 1.5.1 just fine, seemingly. When I boot into restore, I get the new menu, and when I nandroid backup it says success. When I attempt to restore, I get this error:

Error - run nandroid-mobile.sh restore from adb!

When I run it from adb, it says mobile.sh not found. Anyone have an idea how I can get my restores working? I can move through the menus fine, see all of my backup's just fine, I just can't get restore going.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ibegary:
I had a problem restoring a nandroid backup but I don't know if its the same issue as you are having. Make sure when you're in the adb shell that you are doing nandroid-mobile.sh not just mobile.sh.

If you navigate to your backup folder where the .IMG is stored, do you see a nandroid.md5? If not, then this is what is causing your restore to fail.

I got around by doing this:

adb shell
/ # cd /sdcard/nandroid/FOLDER/BCDMRS-WHATEVERBACKUP-0000
/ # ls
boot.img
cache.img
data.img
misc.img
recovery.img
system.img
/ # md5sum boot.img > nandroid.md5
/ # md5sum cache.img >> nandroid.md5
/ # md5sum data.img >> nandroid.md5
/ # md5sum misc.img >> nandroid.md5
/ # md5sum recovery.img >> nandroid.md5
/ # md5sum system.img >> nandroid.md5
/ # ls
boot.img
cache.img
data.img
misc.img
recovery.img
system.img
nandroid.md5

Now your restore should work. Note, that this bypasses his MD5 checksum he does to verify your images are complete and accurate. I wouldn't do this unless you have no other option.

On a side note, I don't know why nandroid didn't create my md5 file on that particular backup either. It works on any future backup's I did, since that one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
I think we should take the time to analyze why these backups for some people will not restore. Maybe someone with a debugger could check out why the MD5 checksum isn't being created if this is the case for everyone having the issue.

Not sure if anyone has the ability to do this or not other than Amon_RA and the other guy....forgot his name.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Semantics:
I'm just thinking of flashing back to 1.2.3. I don't want to get too complicated lol. Should all of this by typed while the phone is at home recovery? or just from adb shell?

Thanks for the replies.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Semantics:
Okay, after navigating to the nandroid folder, the nandroid.md5 is in my folder.

my older backups are named CBDMRS12 then date etc, with 1.5.1 its BCDMRS-date etc. Not sure if the name differences matter.

Dying to try the new Fresh ROM, but I'm not touching anything until I can get restore working. =/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ibegary:
I did it when the phone was in recovery with the adb shell.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daveii0ne:
Any one having trouble restoring with Nandroid?

Everytime i try to do a nandroid restore it goes thru the process and then i get an error telling me to use adb shell.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jlachesk:
I had the same issue. I fumbled through the adb shell version of nandroid-restore until I got it to work:

<cmd prompt>adb shell

/ # cd /sdcard/nandroid/<whatever this directory is named>

/ # nandroid-mobile.sh restore

-- bunch of directions

<hit enter to accept default>

--should show the path to the latest backup

<hit enter to accept>

Voila, everything works just fine.

Not sure if this will be the case for everyone (saw some discussion of missing .md5), but is worth a shot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Semantics:
I did this as well. The problem is, the next restore you try, you're going to have to do it from the shell again. The point of having a restore option on the menu, is to be able to restore from there, if you don't have access to a PC to run the shell. I'd like to know if this is a known issue for everyone using 1.5.1, or if its not, why its happening to several folks. I'm no dev, so I can't help to find the answers to these questions, but I know that I'm not keeping 1.5.1 if I have to run nandroid-mobile.sh restore from adb, every time I do a restore.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
Same thing was happening to me. I flashed back 1.2.3 and did the same restore and it took it fine. I will just keep 1.2.3 on until the other gets fixed
[Hero CDMA Android Development] daveii0ne:
yea i think imma flash back to v1.2.3
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Curious, are you guys trying to use 1.5.1 to back up nandroids made by 1.2.3?

I was wondering if this would work but now I'm wondering if 1.5.1 restore works at all.

Anyone successfully restore using 1.5.1 at all?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] david_ag:
I got the error message saying I needed to run from ADB shell BUT, i just exited, rebooted and the system does restore. I just ignored the "error" message and have my phone up and running and restored as intended. Tried this with backups created with 1.2.3 and 1.5.1 and worked the same way both times.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ibegary:
All my nandroids in 1.2.3 are fine, when I did my first backup in 1.5.1 thats when I noticed that I didn't have a .md5 file. All backup's since then do contain the .md5 file. I did try restoring a 1.5.1 backup and I got the same error on handset telling me to run nandroid-mobile.sh. I did it through the recovery adb shell and the restore went fine. 1.5.1 does look a tad buggy. But you can get the job done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] packetlss:
Can you guys with problems post your /tmp/recovery.log after it goes wrong.

This will allow us to pinpoint the problem.
