[Q] how to force restoring a backup - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all
things went messed up these day with my xoom, now I got a US 3.2 on my MZ604 which I just flashed.
& I have another backup of the same 3.2 (but) with all my apps & things I need, but the main problem is that backup was taken with another version of CWM which ROM manager installed it for me & I was kinda happy with it, (I should remind the backup I took with that version of CWM was placed in internal memory & not in SDCARD). now I have the ex-CWM which is told in xoom developers thread,
the problem is when I copy the backup folder to its folder, my xooms stops responding when I choose to restore it from CWM, now is there anyway to flash the other CWM (I don't know where to get it from, causeI don't have market now)? or flash it with command prompt in windows?
I really appreciate in advance if someone help me to restore that backup, cause I went through very long way to customize my xoom as I wanted & needed

so what i would do is download the latest CWM and flash it via fastboot, then make a backup just in case. Then i would adb pull the backup folder from the internal memory of your xoom. Then flash those images via fastboot.

You could also move the files to your pc and fastboot flash them.

exactly u got the 2 things I don't know, first how to find the latest cwm, I don't know the exact version or thing & what source, & second "adb pull the backup".
everything I know & did up till now in what I learnt from the threads in xda, like in CMD I know adb reboot & flash things, & also fastboot!... bla bla bla
I don't know all the things I need to know to do it on my own

I guess u understood what I meant & need, I have them in my computer, but don't know the lines I need to write in cmd to work & flash, these are the files I got in the backup folder:
could u plz correct me if I need to write something different for each image
boot.img = fastboot flash boot boot.img
cache.img = **what about this**
data.img = fastboot flash userdata data.img
nandroid.md5 = (really don't know if I need to flash or do something with it, !?md5!?)
recovery.img = fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
system.img = fastboot flash system system.img

For the md5 file you dont need to flash this and i dont thinnk you need to flash the cache. Img. If you do then run fastboot flash cache. Img cache.

Flash a Data.img?

I extracted all my files from my data.img backup and made it into a .zip. Is there anyway
i can cwm flash that data.zip to get all my data back? I tried just flashing the zip and it says,
"(bad) Installation Aborted."
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Here's a few things you could do assuming that what you want is even in this zip file.
1) Get a working cwm format zip file and take a close look at it because you need to use it as a template if this is going to work. In particular, check out updater-script in META-INF\com\google\android\*. Updater-script is what directs the restore operation so it needs to match what you want to do. You can get the idea by looking at one that restores say, some data or system files, like a kernel will always restore some /system/lib/module files.
2) Since you've got some sort of zip file, make sure it matches the general format of a working cwm zip file and then just make sure step 1) is right.
3) I don't know if this is still a search for .android_secure folder on /sdcard, but if it is you're probably not going to get there from here, because the tf101 generallyl doesn't have that file since there's no need for tf101 -> sdcard app storage. For example, mine never had that folder either on internal or external storage.
4) Kernels aren't in the data or system archives from cwm, so that is possibly some sort of show-stopper too. I'm working on the cwm source today a bit to try to create a boot.img (or in the newer cwm lingo, boot.*.tar) archive. That archive will use blob and boot tools to be able (via the direction in updater-script) burn the blob onto block m*4.
I hope that helps.
Oh yeah, another thing you can try: If you wanted just the 'apps' from the cwm archive, you shouldn't even need the zip file. All you need to do is run Titanium Backup (assuming you've got it or can get it), and use the new feature in options called restore from cwm backup (or something like that). I've used it and it works fine on 3.x and 5.x cwm backups.
-- good luck

OK Ill see if the titanium backup way works. I'll report back to you if it works. Also if I do get all my apps back is there a way to get the app data?
Hi - If Titanium is bringing up the selections screen then the usual choices for each app are data/app/data+app, so yes.
The titanium back option is called "extract from Android backup" I can't do
It right now because I don't have my tf with me. But I don't think it will work because
The Android backup I made was currupted. I would get the .android_secure error
And couldn't restore. So if titanium takes the data.img from my Android I'm thinking
It won't work but if I can give it the zip it probably will. I won't be home for a couple
Hours.
thank you so much i got all my stuff back using titanium backup!

Help please! Phone wont boot. Need adb expert.

Hey all. I did something silly and deleted a file in system/bin folder while troubleshooting a problem. I made a backup of the file before deleting it in sdcard/download but my phone wont boot so I can copy the backup file back to system/bin. I am able to get my phone into download mode and I believe I could copy the file via adb. However I do not know how to get adb to recognize the phone in download mode. I type...
adb devices
and it states "List of devices attached" and there is nothing under the list but when I plug my phone via USB it shows "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" in device manager so I know my pc is recognizing it. I have used adb before with batch files like 1click root and things like that so I know its just me not knowing the right commands to get my device recognized.
Any and all help is appreciated! I just need to copy 1 file from sdcard/download to system/bin and I would assume it would boot back up with no problem!
Thanks!
do u have cwm installed?
I just installed CWM v5.5.0.4 via download mode using this method. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/skyrocket-root-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery/
So now that I am in CWM I am trying to mount things like /system and it shows an error mounting /sdcard and I get that error messaging for mounting all except mount usb storage which works great. I was however able to get the file off my phone but now how do I get the file back to system/bin?
Yes.. you can (and really should) flash CWM from download mode via your PC/laptop. A few weeks ago I did something very similar and soft-bricked my SR by renaming an in-use file (framework-res.apk)... I also only had 3e, so couldn't just restore a nandroid or flash a rom zip. Go to the Dev section and find the thread by Copperhed ("Root the ATT SGH-I727 Skyrocket..."). read through the OP and follow instruction exactly. You will be Odin3 flashing just the CWM recovery partition... this will NOT trip your flash counter. If you are already rooted, you should retain root... if not, you can root via his OP. After you have CWM recovery, there's a way you can mount the sdcard so you can transfer files between your PC and SR... then, you can put the sbin file back and see if it reboots fine... if not, with CWM installed, you can flash (via zip.. not Odin) any rom/kernel/modem zip package you want.
Even though I installed CWM from a different source I thanked you anyways DoctorQMM! Now that I have CWM installed how to I transfer the file from my pc to the system/bin directory? I have been able to mount usb storage and it show up as a drive on my pc but when I mount /system nothing shows up. What am I missing?
Thanks for all your help! I am almost there! ^_^
hey, I recommended it first . Seriously though, download a kernel from the dev section, any kernel. Open it up in winrar, winzip, etc... and delete everything except the system folder. Now take the bin file u copied to ur computer and put it in a folder called bin. Put this bin in the kernel zip inside the system folder. Now delete everything else in the system folder. Put this file on a microsd, slip it in ur phone and flash it through cwm. this will put the bin back, and allow u to reboot phone
JDub... PM cdshepherd.... he's the one who shared with me you can use the mounts and storage option in cwm (then click "mount USB storage")... then you can copy files between your sd and computer without having to do what I did (which was pull external sd out of SR, mount in micro adapter, plugged into laptop and loaded files on the sd... then put sd back in phone.. booted into CWM and flashed the rom zip I put on there). Yes.. you are close! If you can't get that one file back to sbin on root, you could try to flash a stock rom/kernel zip (KK1 or LA3)... you only need to put that rom/kernel zip on your sd or external sd so CWM will see it.
icenight89 your right you provided the inspiration so I thanked you as well and appreciate the explanation. I will perform it now and see where I get. Let me understand this correctly in steps..
1. Download a kernel, any kernel.
2. Open it up, delete everything except the system folder.
3. Create a folder named bin and put the backed up file in the bin folder.
4. Delete everything else within the system folder except the bin file and bin folder. So it should be /system/bin/xxx.file
5. Put this on a microsd card and flash it through cwm. I assume I do this by selecting "install zip from sdcard?"
Thanks for the continual help! ^_^
I am having trouble with the kernel part. I downloaded a i727 kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340114&page=2. Opened it up and it has boot.img in it. Am I missing something?
Alright. I downloaded the kernel from here http://www.mediafire.com/?85g701ate11zdc9. The kernel contained a folder named system and deleted everything else. I then added the folder bin and added the backed up file I deleted to the system/bin/ directory. I then mounted usb storage via CWM and put the new .zip in there. I then selected "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from internal sd card" located the zip file and selected "yes." I then get the following read outs...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
--Installing: /emmc/sgh-1727-skyrocket-att-original-kernel_2.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
So it looks like it is not installing. Am I doing something wrong?
wrong kernel, download this one:
http://faux.androidro.ms/sky-kernel-010b1.zip
delete everything from in there except system folder, including boot.img, and follow instructions again, should work

Are you sure I can just delete and add stuff like that and It will work? I mean it makes sense to me but since it keeps aborting there may be something crucial missing that I need to keep in the .zip file. Any ideas?

download a rom from Dev section. Doesn't matter which one. Try silvers rom you'll like it. Mount USB storage in cwm. Copy rom to sd. Eject SD from computer. Go back to main menu in cwm. Wipe data/factory reset. Wipe cache partition. Wipe dalvik cache(under advanced in cwm) format system under mounts and storage. Back to main menu in cwm. Install zip from sdcard. Choose zip(rom) you just placed on your SD. Flash it. Reboot device. Enjoy. And make a nandroid after it boots for the first time.

Did you make a cwm backup of rom you were using prior to this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
No, I did not make a nandroid backup. I had to install CWM from download mode and then I was able to get into CWM all without booting.
I appreciate your time in writing a solution however I am not interested in wiping everything and starting from scratch which is what your proposing. I simply deleted a file in system/bin named mediaserver so system/bin/mediaserver. When I rebooted the phone would not boot. I made a backup of the mediaserver before deleting it and placed it in the sdcard/download folder. All I need to do is copy the mediaserver file back to system/bin/ directory and phone should boot backup as if nothing ever happened. That's is how I understand it. Its just missing a file and I know what the file is and I have the file I just need to figure out how to copy it back over to where it belongs.
I do know how to install stock and other roms but after spending numerous hours on my first phone, SGS Captivate, to experience others roms like Darky's Rom the end result was that it was not worth me having to keep up with all the releases and bug fixes, loading in working kernels to make things work correctly and the like. I would rather just stick with stock. Its just a personal preference.
If anyone knows how to copy a file from my pc or from internal sdcard to my Skyrocket using Download mode or ClockWorkMod using any means but without wiping my data please let me know. Eventually if I do not get a solution I will be forced to revert back to the stock rom but I would rather leave that as a last resort.
I look forward to any other suggestions!
Thank you!
Without the ability to push/pull with adb your running out of solutions. I do hope that you get your skyrocket up and running no matter what method you use. And I do hope that someone with the ability comes along to help you. My way is prob the easy way out. If it were me ide cut my losses. Start from scratch, and try to figure out where my prob starts. Good news is there is a great community with plenty of help. Good luck mate.

Since my zip suggestion didn't work, try flashing a different kernel, romracer stockish 0.3 is a good choice, from cwm

Based on your first post, I don't think your pc is FULLY installed your device. Download mode requires additional drivers.........adb devices should return a serial number.
I have not tried adb on my skyrocket...I will do that for your sake and reply with my experience..

Where to place MobileOdinLite.apk and MobileOdinFlashKernel.zip for Samsung P6

i've rooted my P6210 Samsung Tab and am trying to install the CWM. i saw there was a "free" version of Odin and d/l the .apk. They also mentioned that i needed to d/l the KernelFlash as well, which i have.
Does anyone know where i need to place these files on my Tab so that i can run Odin and install CWM?
Thank you for any help you might be able to provide and have a great evening!
Edit: This post was originally posted in the wrong forum, but i've been set straight. Hopefully this is the right place.
Just install both apks (mobile odin + flash kernel). Unzip the flash kernel.zip first
Sent from my GT-P6210
Thanks, miksumortti, for replying!
The question is "install" in which directory?
Have a great morning!
Just tap the both apk in file explorer, it will open pop-up to install.

miksumortti,, thanks for the info. i may need it since i broke down and bought the "Pro" version, but it doesn't "see" any of my. zip or. img files! So i don't know what's going on with this thing.
Have a wonderful afternoon and thanks again for hh helping.
It should open a file browser when you click the partition you want to flash and show only files that are right for the selected partition. For example if you want to flash whole stock firmware you should tap the "open file" and then browse the .tar or .tar.md5 file and it sets up the right partitions for flashing, corresponding on what the chosen file contains.
Make sure to select right partition if you want to flash for example only kernel or data etc., because you won't see "wrong" files for the selected partition, like you can't flash kernel if you have selected data partition.

Rename the CWM IMG file to recovery.img. Tap the "Open file..." option to find and select the recovery.img file. Mobile odin should associate the IMG file with the proper partition automatically. So, after you've selected the IMG file, yould would see it under the listing for Recovery. Then tap "Flash firmware."
Hey, guys, thanks a lot! That last one - rename to recovery.img - did it. Yea, one happy camper! Now we have CWM.
i see that you are using the CM 10 Unofficial. Is it working alright? If so, do i need to erase/format cache/davlik before flashing? i've forgotten. i've got the most recent on my G2 and very happy with it. Just got a G2 for our daughter and will be trying to root and flash it as well but it needs to be charged first.
Again, thanks a million - i had a hunch that renaming was what was required.
Have a wonderful evening!
Never mind / just found this: " Flash from ClockworkMod Recovery. Make sure to wipe data/factory reset. Back up apps using Titanium Backup or GoBackup, and do a nandroid before flashing!" That should do it. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30813335&postcount=216)

CM10 is working alright, but there still are issues to be worked out. In my experience, CM9 is a bit more stable and usuable, but I don't think it's being further developed.

Where can i get the Stock Asia One S S3 boot.img ?

Hi,
I tried the trickdroid ROM but i dont see any benefits, instead there are downsides, like wifi disconnecting and so on. I would like to go back to the original Stock ROM but i do not have the boot.img and nandroid does not back it up along with my backup. Without it, my wifi does not work.
Where can i get this boot.img, or can someone give it here? Thanks!

You can try this stock. by the way , I'm using Trickdroid V1.0,I do not have WiFi problem at all.You have to manually flash the boot img using fastboot.
i have strange problems where my 3g or wifi will stop connecting on TD. Even if i go to airplane mode it does not recover. I have to reboot phone. But last time i did not do a backup of my boot.img.. thats why i need it now
Is it possible that i just get the boot.img instead of downloading the whole giant file? thanks!

RUU file is a install script setup launcher where you can install onto your window then connect your phone to usb , execute this file , then follow the instruction on the screen . I do not have the boot img.

Possible to extract only the boot.img but not without downloading the whole big file.
Open the .exe and make sure that it fully started.
Don't click anything, just go to windows icon and search for %temp%.
You will now find some folders, just search through these folders for the ROM.zip.
If you found it, you can copy it to your desktop or somewhere else.
Extract it with WinRar,7-zip or something like that and take the boot_signed.img.
Now copy the two files into the folder where the fastboot.exe is placed (if you have installed the Android SDK, it should be in platform-tools)
Plug in your One S, go into the bootloader and go into fastboot mode.
Navigate with the cmd in the folder with the fasboot.exe and the two .img's.
Now type in that:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img

This was copied from a thread in One X made by Setsuna666 and pasted there from user: torxx (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190), but applies for any RUU file extraction. It is not from me, but this method works.

Alcatel Fierce 2 Stock Rom Backup

This is a backup of my Alcatel One Touch Fierce 2 after rooting and getting switched to SuperSU.
Supersu is a system app in this backup so if you manage to find a way to build a flashable update zip this is a rooted rom.
For now I have found these files to be a good resource for anyone trying to build a rom from source or to try to figure out how to get a flashable update zip,
You may also be able to copy files you need if you deleted something that you need to put back. I would be careful how you copy files to your phone as this is how i got my screwed up.
I copied files to my /system when my phone was running and it crashed me. Now i can boot into recovery but the phone wont boot up completely and it will not restore itself to factory defaults. I built a update zip out of these files but it will not flash from the recovery.
On update from SD card it does not find the update.zip, I have used adb sideload to the phone to send the update.zip and it sends ok but errors out and will not recover.
I get E: Footer is wrong
and E: Invalid signature.
Rejection from the recovery. It wants a Factory update.zip and no one has that yet. We could get one if somebody has a phone that is not updated yet and they download the update but capture the download before it runs the update. I think there are some post on how to capture a OTA update and copy it.
Anyway for what its worth the files are here and complete.
This backup was originally made by using Online Nandroid Backup.
I also have a copy of most of my system that i made with ADB.
I noticed that the nandroid backup did not get some files, I built a complete backup by copying the missing files from my ADB backup into the Nandroid backup.
Then i rezipped the files.
There a 2 different backups of the boot.img and recovery.img. one i made using flashify and the other by dumping the images in ADB.
These were the commands i used to dump the images.
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmcblk0p29 of=/storage/sdcard0/recovery.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmcblk0p7 of=/storage/sdcard0/boot.img
If someone with a rooted phone can dump the whole phone image that would be helpful.
I saw a thread before how to do it with one command but im not sure where its at now.
After you unzip any of these files be careful if you want to copy them anywhere. There are a lot of link files that will not get copied. So zip it fist to keep the links.
Right now all i need to do is figure out a way to flash the /system folder of this backup back to my phone to replace the current /system on the phone and i will be back in working condition.
If anyone has any ideas how to do this id appreciate some help.
Like i said I have created the Updater Script and Binary META-INF to make a update script but it wont flash.
The only backdoor i can find so far is the following.
If you power off phone completely
and then hold in the volume down key only
and then plug the phone in the computer
You will get a new device. Hold the vol down key until you get it.
If you have loaded the drivers from Alcatel for the one touch Fierce.
http://alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/support/faq/usbdriver.html
our drivers are the qualcom drivers.
You will get HS-USB Qloader 9008
it is in QDL mode or Download Mode.
From what i have read you can flash each partition or the whole emmc this way.
Im just not sure how. I dont know what Flash tool to use to interface with it.
I have all the mountpoint data for the partitions and the backups here.
Any ideas on how i can flash the /system partition only and restore my /system from this backup.
There is also a Titanium Backup of all the apps including SYSTEM apps
Here are the links to my backup files.
