[Q] Backup & Restore under Universal Lagfix

Now I have Universal Lagfix 0.2 kernal and Non-RFS Overkill enabled, if I want to make a backup of my current setup, shall I disable all lagfix first or I can do it just as it is?

If I can do it with lagfix enabled, and flash other version, once I restore, the lagfix is still there or it will be a problem?

Thanks in advance for any comments.

Edit：Ok, now I understood that this is not question, since during different lagfix options conversion, the system is always do the backup/restore. So I believe it's no problem without disabling the lagfix prior to any backup.

Please any moderator close this thread.

[Q] Backup modem.bin and kernel?

So... I found out today that my local Samsung dealer/repair centre is full-of-it. Im kindda alone in the dark with my "Latin" SGS LOL. :(

My phone has a fake IMEI which was product of either a bad KIES flash or w/e. The thing is that I took it for a repair and the "special" guys only flashed the phone with a stock ROM. After hours of discussion, It became impossible to explain them what was a fake IMEI, and they told me that was my actual IMEI, they even wrote it down on my warranty card :rolleyes: ... So, I grabbed my phone and ran as far as I could, far away from them.

So!! Long intro.. sorry! :p

I made a full ROM backup (of this stock ROM)with CWM but that wont save my Kernel nor Modem (as far as I know). The thing is that if I flash it with another ROM my modem.bin and kernel will be overwritten. Is there a way to back them up? I've been having a hard time to get 3G in the 850 MHz in my region with the known-stock ROMS :(

Can I extract the modem.bin from my current config and flash it separately via ODIN ? Or those this is subject of de-compiling and reverse-engineering to get this going on Odin :confused:

Sorry if the answer is buried-down in a deep corner of another thread, but I searched already with no luck..

Cheers and thnx guys!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwinds:
The firmware bundle which you used will have 2 files if you unzip the tarballs - modem.bin (which contains your modem) and zImage (which contains your kernel). You dont need to pull those from your phone.

PS: separately flashing modem.bin is easiest done with Heimdall instead of Odin. It can be done with Odin or CWM but someone has to build a pakage for you. Or you have to learn how to tar the modem.bin file for Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Candanga:
Hello ash,

As you can see on my prev. post, the FW which my phone needs (specially the modem.bin and CSC), are proprietary of my Provider. The ROM is not available on the web. Probably is thrown around in some Zamsung server and no-one took a look at it cause of its weirdness lol. As you can see is a brazilian version. The modem is the most stable for this phone at the moment. I had terrible issues with Euro modems/Bell Canada and a Australian.

I have right now installed the STOCK C&W Eclair Firmware (factory ROM) which works like a charm compared to the Froyo's I've tested.

Because this modem and this CSC is not avail. on the web, I wanted to extract them so I can "mix" them with other ROM flavors.

Thnx :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwinds:
Ah - I presumed because it said Underground - its some kind of custom ROM :P My bad.

Backup minidiary

I had just upgraded my phone to DXJPA and successfully transferred my mini diary entries. The entries are editable too.

You need to backup the whole folder "com.sec.android.app.minidiary". Inside there are 3files: weatherclock, shared_prefs, mini_diary.db.

After creating a new entry in your newly flashed phone, copy the 3 files that you have backed up and replace the 3 files you find in folder "com.sec.android.app.minidiary" inside the dbdata directory.

After that you should see the entries.

App recommendation: backup phone contacts with groups

I store all my contacts in phone and use the contact app's import and export to SD card to backup. However the contact groups and their assignments are gone after an import. Are theres any apps that can help me do that? Obviously I dun trust my contacts with google so that option is out.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wavemechanic:
Obviously? What's obvious about it?

Not obvious to me why you don't use google for your contacts. With my contacts in the cloud with google I never have to worry about backing up, it all happens automatically. Every email I've ever sent or received is searchable, attachments stored etc.etc. One of the main reasons for going Android imho. What's google going to do with my contacts, spam them with Galaxy ads? I don't think your privacy concerns- if that is what they are- are realistic. Just sayin'. If you have other reasons, they aren't... obvious. Please enlighten us.

Any way to backup SNS Contacts?

Hey guys,

basically just wanted to find out if there is such an app? Only reason i ask, is because it takes absolutely ages to sort out Facebook contacts and merge them with your own, because the built in SNS Sync doesn't merge with the contacts automatically, meaning when you flash a new ROM you have to do it all over again and it's just too time consuming. They aren't backed up to my Google account either, so when i re-sync after a flash only the standard contacts are there which aren't merged with my Facebook ones.

Is there any app which can backup the contacts which are merged with Facebook?

That JG5 you're looking at is also a Euro radio, XWJG5, (the X being the clue). You can't just look at the last three characters, the whole code is important, though the Euro guys are used to doing that because they still think they're just talking amongst themselves. :)

UGJGx is what you need.

I9000UGJG8 is on samsung-firmwares, been up since Sunday, scroll down the page to see it, (it's gray for NA/AU). Direct download link here.
