[Q] Resurrection Remix ICS 1.0 SGS2 - backup restore issue - General Questions and Answers

Hi folks,
Sincere apologies if this is answered elsewhere. I've searched the development thread and done a few searches elsewhere but it's not come up.
I'm running Resurrection Remix 1.0 on my Galaxy S2 i9100. So far, everything works great - except the gyroscope. And specifically, panning screens when I'm moving apps and widgets about.
This is such a minor gripe that I feel sort of guilty for bringing it up, but I'd appreciate any help! I've tried to flash the fix that sorts the text out but it comes up with the following error: E:signature verification failed
I'm not sure if that's even going to help, but I figured it wouldn't hinder it. I have wiped the cache partition first, and I'm trying to install the zip file from an SD card.
Sure I'm making a fairly elementary mistake somewhere!
Cheers,
Nick

Ugh.
Right, I've made a bollocks of this. In installing the "fix," I've wiped the ROM and all the apps I had installed with it.
Now, I had backed up using CWM Recovery and Titanium Backup - but now those apps aren't on my phone (well, they're buried in it, but they're not part of the GUI and I can't access them). What's more, I can't reinstall the apps I had downloaded from Google Play.
I assume that's an issue at their end - and I assume that I need to use Titanium and CWM to recover the back-ups - but is that the case?
Again, any advice much appreciated...

I've installed an app called Recovery Manager, and the only backup it can see is one I made a couple of days ago. Which I'll take.
The problem I have is, when I boot into recovery mode, it's not using the CWM interface I used to flash the damn ROM in the first place; the CWM logo isn't showing, and it's all blue, rather than orange. There's an Android with a rotating blue shape on its belly. Not sure if that helps!
But either way, I can locate the folder in this new recovery mode but there's nothing in it to recover (or so it seems).
Really stumped.

Hi, I´m running the same ROM and have the same problem. The ROM overwrites CWM somehow and so you can´t access it for recovery. When you boot into recovery, all you get is the stock recovery. If you have an external storage card, Max at Galaxy2root.com offers a solution and a zip file to run to get CWM temporarily - but it disappears after a reboot. I haven´t tried it yet. Tomorrow!
All my reading indicates that there will be no fix for this until WestCrip changes the basic ROM. So we are stuck with a temporary solution.....

U can install.CWM by rom manager n reboot into recovery

No service?

I have searched a bit and can't find what I am looking for. I have a rooted tbolt and not new to rooting but not familiar with the d2global(my son's phone). So I rooted via the 4z method and everything went smooth. Downloaded cw bootstrap and loaded liquid gingerbread 2.5. I am very upset as I forgot to make a backup prior. Anyway I did a factory reset, cache wipe, etc.. and loaded the rom. Now there is no service and I am stuck in aiplane mode. I am hoping there is a simple fix. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Nevermind, figured it out Loaded CM7, must have been something within the liquid rom.
there is no liquid rom for the d2g, if you try installing a rom for the d2 (which i assume liquid is for) your radio wont work, which is why its always in airplane mode.
cm7, on the other hand, is made for the d2g.

i did the same thing, and now i'm stuck, i tried to do a recovery and somehow it won't let me i tried holding the power and volume down to try to do a manual recovery, cause i did a backup so i can restore, unfortunately i can't get to that recovery...if i knew liquid 2.5 was bad i shouldn't have installed that POS...any help will be good, thanks
Your baseband is FUBAR, so you need to reflash an SBF.
Instructions here.
Finding the images and RSDLite with Google should be easy enough; if not (and only in that case), PM me.
JFYI: there is no way to get to CWM if you cannot boot the OS to at least a bootloop after the point where adb shell becomes available.
Thank you
Thanks, i will def give it a try...i can get to bootloader by holding power button and both volume button...i just didn't know what to do from there...
The problem i'm having is :
phone does boot up running liquid 2.5, problem no service stuck in airplane mode
all function of the phone works just can't make calls etc without service
i do see the backup files when i open file manager, just can't get it to open up, hopefully that bootloader thing works,
if rom manager was working that would help solv e everything cause i would be able to restore, but the app is not there when loaded liquid, usually when you ask to rebbot it would give you an option to reboot or recover...oh well
thanks so much hopefully i can try to resolve it later tonight...
by the way what is CWM, what does that mean
CWM is ClockworkMod Recovery, the “custom” recovery that lets you perform backup and restore of your phone's flash memory and install various custom ROMs and modifications. See http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/ClockworkMod_Recovery for a bit more information on it.
Question where would i find the images and what rev RSDLite do i use 4.9 or 5.0, sorry, just asking...
Google the file names, should net you some results.
4.9 or 5.0, doesn't really matter. 5.0 is reported to work better than 4.9 on Windows 7 systems.
thanks, i got it to work....thanks so much...

[Q] Help, stuck in bootloop with CM 10 ROM

So I was able to successfully root my AT&T HTC One X and decided I wanted to install the CM 10 ROM (1st ROM install). I did all the data backups with Titanium, downloaded the latest zip files from cyanogenMod (both the 12/13 and 12/14 nightly versions), transferred them to my phone, booted into recovery (TWRP), did a back-up, did a system wipe, flashed the ROM and then did a reboot. However, when it boots it gets stuck in the boot-up screen (bootloop) and doesn't do anything. I have read on this and it keeps saying to wipe system data again and flash the ROM again and it keeps doing this. I want to install this ROM, but I need some help. Any suggestions on what I did wrong?
Note: I accidentally posted this in the Android Q&A section, so I apologize for the double post. I just think this is probably the best place to get my answer.
Did you flash the boot.img?
I did, but incorrectly the first time. I flashed it the right way and everything is working good. Then only problem I have now is when restoring from Titanium Backup it gives me an error from a process called com.android.phone (I think that is what it said). So I wiped it again and rebooted and everything is fine. I can reinstall all the apps, but what could cause that? Could it be some of the data backed up doesn't cooperate with this ROM? Either way I love the CM10 ROM.

if they are backups from sense, that *MAY* cause problems, but don't quote me on that. I don't use sense, can't say for sure
OK, maybe that is why. Not a big deal since I haven't had the One X too long. Thanks for the help guys.
Good to know

Flashing wrong Recovery (hboot 2.22) wiped whole phone (including sd-card)

Hey folks,
have a huge problem here. I think i erased all the data of my girlfriend's phone -.-
I just wanted to clear her phone by setting it up with a custom stock rom withput bloatware.
I started to unlock the bootloader and flash a new recovery because i wanted to do a nandroid backup and use titanium to backup her data. But the problem started here. Her phone had the 4.4.2 OTA update --> HBoot 2.22 but I flashed TWRP 2.7.0.0 instead of 2.7.0.5 because i didn't know the fact that the partition layout changed. After flashing the recovery the internal sd card couldnt be found and twrp said "no OS installed" when i tried to reboot to the system. Well, the phone did boot to the system, but i think it made a background factory reset i didn't want to do ...
So now i had a clear System running, no apps, no contacts, nothing. At this point I didn't look at the sd card if the data there is erased, too.
I thought, when i flash a recovery which finds the sd card, maybe the system will be restored as before this procedure. So i flashed twrp 2.6.3.0 but again, no sd card. After that i tried cwm 6.0.3.6 (because i didnt know that there was a 6.0.4.7 ...) and cwm accepted the card. So i booted again into system but still there was a clear stock rom, with ... nothing.
THEN I looked into the sd card and ... nothing. Empty, everything got deleted, only the new made folders where there. No Pictures, no Music, nothing.
My girlfriend gonna kill me ...
I tried to rescue the data from the sd card, but different apps found nothing then the data, that is already on the sd card. No old pictures or old music. Thanks to MTP, i can't run a datarescue at my pc (or can i?).
Do you have any idea what i can do now? Is there any chance of getting the data from the sd card back? Or better, getting the old app data back?
Please help me guys, you are my last hope.
greetings,
patrick
best of luck to you my friend
Im in the same exact boat to the T !!
Did the same thing almost identical to you , all because the development is so shabby and unclear with this particular phone its pathetic.
twrp website shows the latest recovery.img as 2.7.0.0 No mentioning of flashing a newer version
Theres only one thing at this point you can hope for Find the stock 4.4.2 ruu utility and run it... or get her a new phone.
Ive been at my pc for 8 hrs going blind and im done ill toss it before i spend another hour searching for a fix
I have multiple posts Noone cares here.
And i dont believe htc has the 4.4.2 ruu out yet
Well, my problem was not to get the phone running, because it did "repair" itself.
My problem is the lost data
Hi Patrick
Having no backups and starting to change things in software is always a bad idea. Mobile phone, PC, etc.
On the other side, there are very nice tents today in case your girlfriend has locked you out of your home now
Consider it from this side, you tried something and bungled :crying: the phone/data - hopefully others will read this before they install the "old" recoveries on their new Hboot.
But I totally agree with you, these unofficial versions of the recoveries are really hard to find. As I was looking for the download link I've chosen the way through the xda thread.
regards
Thanks for your thoughts
But luckily my girlfriend doesnt lock me out of home, because i had the backup from November
Since then we didn't have made any greater activities so no real important pictures were made since then.
I thught of making a "newbie friendly" thread with important information about hboot 2.22 and the "hidden" recovery's from twrp and cwm.
Maybe this can help others to prevent such mistakes I did in the past.

Would be good to have this info in a sticky, as these posts can get buried easily.

F***ed up badly, now downloading factory rom, need help to continue

Hi guys, I just registered @ xda because it looks like it's the only serious and feedback active community available. In 10 minutes I found most of the info I was looking for, but I still want to make sure what Im planning to do is fine before I mess up again. Here's the issue:
I was fooling around with the tablet and had just rooted it so I could get rid of some bloatware, and decided to go further and install cyanogen, just for the looks. So I got this thing cm-10.1-20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-p3110-M3 from the official site, which was I put on a folder inside the tablets storage (not on the 16gb SDcard it had in it). I downloaded Rom Manager and skipped through the "search and download rom" and went for the option of looking for it inside the SD card. I had the Backup options and the wipe cache and data ON.
So I proceeded and it booted, started to do the backup and at some final point it had an error, something like "could not backup Data!". I had the options of rebooting, some other stuff and the option of installing a rom from the SD Card. I went for it and searched for the .zip inside the storage, and installed it. It did it withouth trouble, and when it finishd it prompted me to install an update, which I didn't (don't know why).
Then, I went for the reeboot option and when it started I get the normal samsung's black screen with the device's name on it, but then I get a fast glitching image that sweeps through the screen and the cyanogen startup logo which gets stuck for ever.

Now Im past it, I can get to download or recovery mode, so I moved onto getting the original firmware so I can clean-install again. I got it from sammobile, chose the one belonging to Chile (that's where I got the tablet), and it's 729mb of data. The tablet is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3110
If I flash it with Odin will everything be fine? All I have to do is that thing in downloadmode when I rooted it, but with that 729mb file? Should I put it in the external SD or is it more convenient to place it in the internal storage?
I appreciate your help in advance, I know this is as basic as it gets but messing up again would cost me dearly, since I have to do other stuff.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900055 read here, all the information you will need.
It's fine to flash through odin, you will back at stock provided you don't overlook small details and do exactly like the way it is shown. Don't worry, Don't panic. Just be careful to use the files meant for your device only. Second be extra careful when you are dealing with kernel file, pit file or reparation in odin in future.
Third, get root and custom recovery,twrp.
Fourth, after your device start running take backup from twrp recovery. That will save you from most of the trouble.
Most of the details and instructions are already here

hey thanks a lot, im feeling better ow. There's just one issue left: I cant download the original firmware (it's 699mb, and the download keeps stopping midway through it). What happens if I go into clockwork recovery mode and do a factory reset? would that bring me to the original OS? Im kinda scared of downloading an erroneous file again.
EDIT: im doing a factory reset and then flashing this rom called AOSP Project Android 5.1.1 Lollipop on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3110 which is a 161mb file. Will that work?

Factory reset is just clearing data and cache, if you have made changes in kernel or system, factory reset won't reset them, in your case, system has been altered so you will have to format system, then flash the new rom. If you were on jelly bean stock, you are good to flash it.

You guys have helped me a lot. I've worked everything out and now i've got to reinstalling android on it, AOSP's 5.1.1 Lollipop. It's beautiful. There's just one problem: Since it came with no apps at all, I wanted to install everything on it again. Problem is, when I go to google play, it shows that i've already got my apps installed, so it wont let me download them, and it doesn't matter if I place the APK's inside the tablet as there's no manager to open them. Even if I download apk's through the tablet's own web browser, it says it can't open the file. Any ideas on this?

Stuck in a bootloop + CWM question

Edit: Solved, see bottom
ROM (D6633_Customized HK_1290-5630_23.4.A.0.546_R6C_HK_SuperSU2.46_XZDR2.8.21-signedv2)
Bit of a dumb move on my part. It all started when my snapchat stopped working, I updated, and then Titanium Backup wouldn't restore the data properly (giving me "parse error"). I was trying to fix that and read online that sometimes this is caused by improper permissions, so I booted into recovery mode, couldn't find the option, but somehow decided "hey, maybe my root permission (?) is wrong slash it's 6am and I just watched a wild 2016 election end" and I hit the button. Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop.
So my question:
1) What exactly does re-root phone do (in CWM), and why would that have messed me up? Is it because I have a pre-rooted rom?
2) I wiped cache and delvik and it doesn't help
3) How do I fix this? I was thinking of loading a SuperSU zip on the SD card from my computer and flashing that, assuming somehow a corrupted root is at fault. I can't seem to get the thing in ADB mode as a side note.
3b) If that seems like a good idea, does it matter what one I use?
4) If I reflash the ROM, it should keep my apps and stuff, ya? I don't actually care if my phone is crippled, I just need it to work long enough to properly back up some media, and mainly get my whatsapp over to my new SIM card. If I can't get in it's forever stuck on my old number which I don't have the SIM for anymore.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Edit: I don't know how to delete this. Anyways, with other resources I found out that because I used a pre-rooted ROM, there were issues with using CWM to try to do the rooting with its built in functions, softbricking the phone. Reflashing the original pre-rooted ROM worked fine.
