Well Backup works. i dont know what else?

I ran the bat file and everything but my phone still hasn't restarted yet...wtf.

What does this allow us to do? Please answer before I do this?

Backup and restore work fine for me. After the game I'll see if I can get a rom flashed but football > epic atm.

Can you explain how this is done? When I run the files does it copy what is on the phone to the computer so that I can just re-image it back onto the phone?
I maybe asking questions, but I really don't know what I am doing and want to be safe. I already have the one click flasher by noobnl, I trust him. I just want to be sure and understand what I am doing.
Thanks for all the info.

No it saves under clockwork mod on the sd card in 3 convenient files. So when u flash a custom rom u can run restore and it will restore all your files and data.

Rooting and Flashing a custom ROM

I flashed the leaked froyo firmware I897UCJI6 on my samsung captivate using odin 1-click method. I have a working 2.2 now. My phone is not rooted. I am planning to flash a custom ROM and try other custom ROMs out there in the market. I've gone through a three part video series by mobiletechvideos on how to root and flash a custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364). But, i still have a few questions.
1. For rooting, do i need to flash the phone back to the stock JF6?
2. In the xda link given above, i am fine until step #4. Step #5 is a little bit confusing to me. After i copy the root file to the root directory in the internal sd card on my phone, i rename it to update.zip. Also, i copy the clockworkrecovery to the root directory in the internal sd card in the phone and rename it to update.zip. Now, after i am doing with rooting and clockworkrecovery, i have to proceed further to flash the custom ROM. Now, the steps mentioned in the xda forum does not say anything about moving the custom ROM file to the root directory in the internal sd card on the phone. My question is: Do i need to copy the custom ROM zip file into the root directory of the phone? Do i need to rename the custome ROM file to update.zip as well?
Someone please help.

Yes rom goes on sd, no do not rename
If you are on ji6 you will not be able to install clockwork because of 3e recovery. Two option, flash back to stock using
http://www.fileserve.com/file/emnCn2j
One click odin, provided you are at&t and build number is 1009 and lower located under battery

Thanks for the reply. What is 3e recovery by the way? I am able to flash back to stock (jf6) using odin 1-click by following the volume up + down method to download. My build number is not in that 1000 series. Are you referring to s/n number found under the battery? In many threads I have seen ppl saying if u r under 1009 build # then you need to use 3 key combo method. You are saying the opposite. I am confused now. Sorry sir but I think I need.more explanation. I thank you for your time

Are you on at&t
If you can get into dl mode issuing volume and usb then you have three button combo. Later builds can not use jf6 stock 1010 and up. Your build had to be there, and I do not think it its possible it is not in the 1000s if you have a captivate

Pls clarify if s/n # found under battery is actually the build number. Also, according to many posts in this forum, three buttom combo is
1. Vol up
+
2. Vol down
+
3. Press Power button
Since when USB slot became a button? I am sorry but I dont understand.

Then,i need to root the phone and install.clockworkmod recovery using the info found in the 3 part video series by mobiletechvideos. And,proceed with the custom ROM flash.

WOW! I clicked on the xda link from my phone and the update.zip got downloaded into the download folder in my internal sd (i deleted it). I see the point now. I need to root only to back up all apps and system data such as contacts, sms,media etc. Otherwise, no need to root. Please conform the steps one last time if you don't mind:
1. Copy the update.zip into the root directory of my phone (how to get to the root directory, by the way! Sorry it is a dumb question). Also, copy the custom ROM zip file to the same root directory.
2. Using 3 button combo, follow the remaining steps.
Now, after I successfully flash the custom ROM, can I use the android market and install all the apps I use.

When you open my files app you are looking at the root of your sd. You will see your download folder, go to it long press either file select move phone will direct you to root if sd, select paste.
You are correct you need root to run programs like titanium backup to backup your apps, but when you flash stock they will all be gone either way. So unless you are rooted now you can not back up your apps. You can dl them again do not restore any system data just user apps. Backup contacts by exporting to ext sd, or sim
I am checking out so I won't be responding again for the night. Good luck

The simplest way there is to root/ flash a rom is to use a one click root program.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304
If you use this, it roots your phone for you. After you root with the program in the link above( there are videos on how to use the program if you get confused ) Download Rom Manager from the market. open up rom manager and select flash clockwork mod recovery. After that in the program rom manager click reboot into recovery( easier than holding volume buttons) the stock recovery will pop up when the phone reboots. Click reinstall packages. It will bring you back to the stock recovery, click reinstall packages for a second time and you will have cwm (clock work mod ) recovery. In clockwork mod recovery there is an option to back up your phone. do this before you flash a rom. after you back up turn your phone on. Make sure it is in usb debugging. connect to your computer and on your phone select mount sd. drag the downloaded rom .zip file into the sd. the root of you phone is just what ever drive your phone shows up as. unplug your phone reboot into recovery and in cwm recovery there is an option to factory wipe, do this and after it is done, click the option install zip. then choose zip from sd. highlight the rom . zip file you are flashing and select it. it will take a minute or too and when it is done just reboot the phone. First boot will take a while but once it boots your all set. any questions you can pm me and good luck.

Thank you. I have your toolbox program installed in my computer running 64 bit windows 7 home.premium edition. I have a few questions. My phone is running the leaked JI6 2.2 rightnow. What should I choose first from the toolbox? If I choose, flash to stock then do I need to select thw JF6 firmware file from somewhere or the tool itself will do the job? Sameway, if I click root, then do I need to select a root / clockwork files to finish rooting or again the tool itself will do the job? I understand for flashing the custom ROM I need to choose the the ROM .zip file. I watched the video about your program on mobiletechvideos on youtube. I think I need to watch it again or if you don't mind then can you give me the steps to use your toolbox (given what firmware I have currently running). Thank you

[Tronsmart TS7 - MTK6582] ROOT / CMW Recovery / Stock Rom / Tips

Hi,
there are some different MTK Chipsets in the Tronsmart TS7.
If your device is a MTK6589 take a look at here
For the newer device based on MTK6582 i want to share my experience, mine is a 4GB version:
Root
- Activate USB debugging
- Download the Root Genius from here to your PC
- Start the 'root genius' and root the phone ...
- Install SuperSU
- Install a Filemanager with root permissions
- Move the KingUser.apk at /system/app/ to everywhere for backup or delete it
but don't deinstall the King User App
- Reboot phone
- Start SuperSU -> the SU Binary will get to update (method -> normal)
CWM Recovery
- Download the TS7_4G_CMW.rar from here
- Download the MTK Droid Tool 2.51 (or higher) & start it
- Click the root button -> permit the ADB Shell root access at SuperSU
- Go to 'root, Backup & recovery' -> activate 'To Use boot from phone'
- Click Button 'Recovery & Boot'
- Question "to make CWM recovery automatically ?" -> No
- Select the downloaded Gacier-TS7_130805__recovery_130815-142418.img
- Flash it & reboot to recovery
Remove the Google-Search-Bar from Homescreen
- Rename/Move/Delete these files, which are located in /system/app
QuickSearchBox.apk

Regarding the new update, what are the changes? Also, I have installed CWM. Is that file compatible with CWM?

update in 1st Posting

Thanks for the guide
However looking at the contents there appears to be a recovery folder. Would it be correct to say that if I were to flash this zip as it is, it will replace my current CWM recovery?
Also, has anyone actually installed the update? Any changes noticed so far?
Sent from my TS7 using xda app-developers app

i have a question regarding the 3g frequencies of the phone:
it says that it supports the 850 wcdma frequency, however someone i spoke to told me that he checked and the phone doesn't support 850, but 900 wcdma instead. can anybody here check it and see if they get the same result?
thanks.

So I managed to put together a update.zip somehow and managed to update the phone. Disappointing thing is I don't see much changes, the phone is still as sluggish as ever. Also, I lost root, and Root Genius can't get back root, so I have restored my CWM backup.
This phone really needs 4.4 Kitkat stat!

The Rom has no upgrade ... because our Tronsmart TS7 this date with the latest version [G820_C1_F1_Tronsmart_V0.2_20131127]
The flash ROM is only necessary to leave the phone to factory settings and remove the ROOT
you should try the VROOT, with this method you do not have to delete the system APK's
Only download and ready SuperSU the application of the Play Store
the procedure in the Post in Spanish of [HTCMania]
The administrator of this post should update the 1st post and add a second method ROOT
EDIT:
In the post HTCMania, is the link of the Rom already signed!
Ready to flash with CWM
I can not post links because I'm new to XDA

[Q] Help: No software installed and can't boot

Hi guys
It has been a long time since my phone has been this bad.
So last night I go to charge my phone because I had ZERO battery. So I turned it on and then plugged it in. The phone booted fine but then I noticed that the screen was not shutting off. I even tried hitting the "Go to sleep" button from the pull down menu and nothing happened. I also realized the phone was not loading my calendar. When I went into the file manager it didn't show SDCARD 1 or 2.
I decided to clear the memory (dalvik + cache) = SAME PROBLEM
I did a factory restore = same problem
Finally I cleared the system = now i have no OPERATING SYSTEM ON THE PHONE
I went to the external sd card and tried to install the latest version of OMNI....IT SAYS IT CANT READ FROM THE SD CARD.
I also tried to copy the file from external sd to internal sd card and it says FAILED
I don't' know what to do...
I am using Team Win Recovery Project 2.6.3.0
I have the latest omni rom on my external sd card. I can see it but install fails.
Please help :crying:

Calm down dear. Same happened with me. I formatted /system and find that I don't have any operating system in my mobile.
Just pluggin your mobile in recovery mode to your PC. transfer the file-> Flash the ROM-> Gapps -> BINGO..
BTW, wrong area for creating a thread.

Don't worry. Do what D™ said.
Alternatively you can use "adb sideload" method. I used it once with Philz recovery. In sideload method, you won't need to copy the file in Sdcard. File existing on pc can be directly flashed. This would help if you still face problems copying file to Sdcard. Search it on google. You will find steps for it.

A bit more clear please...

Hey
Ok I am a bit calmer knowing I didn't brick my phone or anything...
But when I connect my phone to my computer I know it is connected (I see GTi9103 in device manager with an "!" ) but I cant transfer files.
Could someone provide a link to the adb method or maybe give a bit more advice on this problem..
Thank you guys!

Thanks dude! I will give it a try and post a response! It was just so strange that I couldn't see any of the drives (sdcard 1 or 2) in filemanager. I guess something must have got corrupted? Right now I am trying to push from adb method mentioned from Nikhil.
I am following this procedure.

Download Stock Indian ICS
Btw, adb sideload method is as follows.
0. Install adb for windows (assuming you have windows). (There shouldn't be any driver missing)
1. Enter into sideload mode in recovery
2. Open cmd in computer with the directory in which zip file is kept. (shift + right click -> open command prompt here would do)
3. Enter adb sideload xyz.zip
Thats it.
I've tried it with TWRP recovery in my friend's phone. It didnt work. But When I tried with Philz recovery, It worked well.
Anyway, if you are finding it complicated, flash stock ics.
Edit : Did you try "mount usb storage" in recovery? because it is required to do. else computer won't recognize your device.

success!
OK so I successfully flashed via ODIN....Can I directly flash omni now? I am assuming yes...Can I flash it through ODIN?
Also can you recommend any good versions of ICS? It is really quite a bit faster than omni...
AGAIN thank you all

Omni is best until now.
you can't flash omni via odin. Flash Philz or TWRP first and then flash omni.
Lv5 ZCLPD is best ICS Rom. But I would choose Omni over Lv5,

reinstall twrp?

The userdata and cache are not important for unbrick your phone, the backup you give to me will help you, you must flash it with sp flash tool. But I think that you must try with mobile upgrade is the best way and there is an update to 4.2. Try with and without batery, with power+vol.

I have had the same error in all the Alcatel´s that I have. For that reason I think the only solution is the mobile upgrade, try by all the possible ways. Or with spflashtool only flash the cwm and install a backup.

My friend coul you give me the blocks maps info to make a stockrom zip to flash it via cwm.
You do that with the MTKdroidtools.
I need the mount point for custapack, data, cache and system.
