I created a shell script to do full internal memory backup.
Backup will be saved to "/sdcard/external_sd/devbackup".
Versions
2013-02-19: v1.0 (DOWNLOAD)
- Added option to backup user partitions.
- Added safety checks for device model, busybox availability and running user.
- Works on GB only.
- Needs Busybox.
Code:
su
busybox sh /sdcard/backup.sh system
Code:
su
busybox sh /sdcard/backup.sh user
2013-02-08: v0.5 (DOWNLOAD)
- Backups only system partitions.
- Runs on GB and JB without Busybox.
Code:
su
sh /sdcard/backup.sh
Partitions
System partitions
01 = param.lfs.md5

It's a script... copy all the text, create a new text document, paste in the new text document calling it something like : fullbackup.sh .
Then
Move it to telephone, install smanager (Script Manager) , run it as SU . Done

I tried to install by Terminal and script manager but always i get this error:
Thanks for share your script!
So, can I ask what the script can copy? I mean, can you specify what it does, what it will backup, what it can't ?
To be more clear, It can backup everything, even the bootloader, so we can flash all stock again? In my country (Brazil), Samsung called that phone "Galaxy SII Lite" and the bootloader image has this text . Could it be a way to turn back to my stock? People have told that with this tuto:[ Solved ] How to Downgrade JB 4.1.2 to GB 2.3.6 the text of bootloader image becomes "Galaxy S Advance". By the way, I am just asking. I have no trouble with all that stuff, only curiosity.
Sorry for noob questions and poor english!

By the content of the script location of backed up files will be: /sdcard/external_sd/devbackup/
P.S. And those backed up files are Odin flashable, as I see. OP could add how to restore on the first post. It is pointless just write how to backup, without explanation how to restore.

Special thanks goes out to everyone who tested for me.
I do not have the device, so I rely heavily on testers to report any bugs.
Here is CWM for the SK4G.
You will need to modify your stock recovery binary to be able to use CWM.
Kernel Devs can also compile CWM into their kernel by extracting the update.zip and building it into their initramfs.
To replace your stock recovery binary with the modified binary:
download this file
DEAD. USE BALI KERNEL
Exatract and take the recovery binary file inside of it and use root explorer or adb push the file to /system/bin.
DO NOT delete the current one there, or rename any files.
Just overwrite it.
I would however, recommend getting Android Commander from www.androidcommander.com It's a lot easier, and a lot more useful.
CWM Final
DEAD. USE BALI KERNEL
Place in the root of your SD.
You can now use Quick Boot from the market, or adb reboot recovery to boot into CWM
I have sent Koush the device tree to have the official update.zip supported within Rom Manager.
UNTESTED:
You can also take the contents from the update.zip and replace the contents that are in noobnl's recovery rerouter/root.
Again, I haven't tested that due to not having the device.

if we could get a stock kernel with just the ext4 patch so we would be able to run our system, data and cache on ext4 i'd be pleased enough . idk if anyone with this phone would be able to rebuild the kernel with that patch but if so our phones would easily be 3x faster
I also see the same problem. I didn't think to test backups. What was all changed from the working version to the current version? all that needed to be changed was the lun map and BOARD_USES_CUSTOM_KEYMAP

yes i tested the original one completely and everything worked, the new one you sent me i only tested the buttons and mapping which were fine . but it seems now the nand backup/restore has a problem.

not hard to do at all. unpack, add in ext4 mount options, repack, then flash kernel, and script to convert.

Couple of things...
Your backup might be corrupt if the md5 doesn't match.
or you might want to try and make sure you have the latest version of CWM installed on your phone. I read in one of the other threads that someone had an md5 mismatch problem that was solved with a newer version of CWM. I hope this helps.

Disclaimer: This is just my opinion and I am not responsible if you have issues after taking my advice, etc., etc.
With that said...
Is the only issue that you can't make a backup or have you encountered other problems? Did you flash the superuser zip before making a backup? Did you try making a nadroid backup more than just once and it errored multiple times? Will the phone boot for you?
You could try to boot the phone up and reboot into recovery and try making a backup again. If all else fails you can just reflash everything back to stock and re-root. Make sure to read through all the guides very carefully and then...read them again....and when you get done with that....read them again. =)

This is exactly how I do it. I've never needed it but have always had it for emergency. Now that ICS is out I've been going back and forth from the sandwich to gingerbread because the bugs are well.......bugging me. I odin'd the leak then I backed it up after I installed cwm so I could always go back to that after testing out these other roms, cwm flashes, and even the backups of ICS, then I root. I basically have started from scratch twice and both times I went back to my backup I got the mismatch ( 2 different backups of the leak). I know its me (possibly cwm) because the cwm ics backup that's out there restores fine.

Are you extracting on your PC? There seems to be some problems with unzips on the phone causing a mismatch
I've been using 7-zip for mine, and it works great. Extract files on the desktop, place on the external SD using USB
Got this from another forum
You can actually manually do it, and maybe get that backup fixed. Go to the backup folder /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/*rom name (date and time usually)/
See if there is a nandroid.md5 file in there. If so, delete it, you can back it up if you want but it is busted so no point.
Next step to open adb shell or terminal emulator and type:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/*rom name (date and time usually)/
md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
reboot recovery

Not totally sure that I'm correct but I had made two backups on one version of cwm and then upgraded my cwm to the touch version and the two backups from the previous version wouldn't restore because of md5 mismatch. Those same two backups had worked several times perfectly on the other version of cwm as well. So I just assumed that maybe the version change had something to do with it.

Yeah, it is the international i9100, but the way to fix a broken CWM-backup is the same. I've tested an cm10 alpha and after this I wanted to restore my ICS, because of sdcard problems. So I did a fullwipe and only have had the Recovery left. How can I get a Terminal in there?
I thought about another way to fix the MD5: Maybe its possible to do a MD5Sum within windows over the boot.iso and save it to a .md5-file. You have to format the md5-file the way CMW needs it: "MD5sum /sdcard/.../boot.iso". Would this work properly?

I fixed my md5 with the adb shell.. but I had to do this in one command . After reading this tut, I think there only has to be the MD5 of *.img, not of the .tar. Am I right?
Maybe its possible to script a zip-file for CWM which recalculates the MD5 of existing Backups?
The bash commands are simple. You only have to do this in a loop for all folders in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.

Try placing it under # ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES After you have backed up of course.

are you using an unlocked version?
have you tested your deodex framework-res to ensure it works?
if i give you a moddified framework-res.apk do you know how to properly push it? obviously you need root and RW on the /system
do u have a backup?
or a way back if need be?
in other words do you know what you are doing?
and will not hold me responsible in any way shape or form?
and fyi you cant just adb push the framework while booted you will bootloop. cause you have to rm - the odex and apk will be over written when you push, the best way would be to push it while in recovery, ( which you would only have if you have a dev version)
i say all that to warn you,
A) its 100% untested.
b) i dont have a device to even test it on.
C) beware bootloop is a possibility especially if you dont know what you are doing.
its compressed just unzip do what you will with it
framework-res.zip Show_navbar
and yes your right(ish) the bool.xml in the framework has to be changed from
Code:
<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">[COLOR="Red"]false[/COLOR]</bool>
to
Code:
<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">[COLOR="red"]true[/COLOR]</bool>
Actually strangely enough the framework res is factory deodex. No I don't have Dev edition (yet) to pushing via adb is out right? Will copy and paste with root explorer work, setting proper permissions of course, or is it going to f%#k up right away?

If anyone is feeling adventurous, ive modified the framework-res.apk to show the nav keys. Below is the best way to apply it. You must be rooted and be willing to flash back to stock if things go wrong (or push the backed up app if possible). You may have issues if you are not deodexed, though included in the instructions below is how to apply it even if you are not. You also must be able to use adb. Id make a flashable zip but you dont have a recovery.
Copy the framework-res.apk file to your internal storage however you please.
Make sure your phone is plugged into your computer and adb debugging is enabled.
Type the following commands (read carefully!):
adb shell
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(look on your phone, it may ask for superuser permissions, allow it)
stop
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(note: this will make your screen go black and it will be unresponsive, this is normal)
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(if you have a problem at this point type: adb remount and try this step again.)
rm /system/framework/framework-res.odex
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(only do this if your apk is not deodexed)
reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
On reboot you should have onscreen nav keys.
Here is the modded framework: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/44601870/framework-res.apk
I see runandhide05 has also done the mod for you. I can confirm that what he (and I) have done is what adds the nav keys to the moto x (which i have).

It should be in my post now. It is infact of the framework you posted on the first page.
The adb crap may not work right now. You need to mount the system as r/w and i dont know what file system the X/Ultra etc use. Though it may work because the way root was aquired for this phone. Worst case is you cant copy the file to the system. No harm will be done.

It should be noted that there were two ways to root your ohone, the first DID NOT allow rw on the /system
The second from jcase allows rw only when booted into "recovery" which is not the normal recovery but a mirror img of your /system and will appear as normally booted however you have rw access to the system.
This is how you would have to do it. If you rooted with his first release you wont have rw on the system, if thats the case use his latest release and follow his instructions in his OP then do as mentose457 suggested
Thanks a bunch guys my battery's almost dead so I'm going to try this in the morning. And thank you runanhind for giving specifics as to what was done

Oh and what is the adb command to reboot to recovery if there is one? I've had problems getting changes to stick if the first reboot after the changer doesn't have write access

Im a noob with adb and i have no clue how to use it so can someone help with that. Thanks! :crying:

Maybe its already mounted by twrp in the mounts menu. If it is, skip that step. If not, mount in that menu

Can u tell me where the twrp backups directory is? Coz obviously i cant get into my phone
I don't use twrp myself so im not sure where it is. If you use the ls command..... (thats LS in lowercase)
Eg....
ls /data/media/0
That will list all the directories on sdcard. I assume there will be a folder called twrp there. Within there not sure. But you can use ls to keep drilling down.
ls /data/media/0/twrp
I think there's a backup folder with dated folsers within it.
Take a twrp backup now and see....
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yes, the path's correct... TWRP makes a backup in /data/media/0/TWRP/3282387328 (random string)...
So, you will need to push the backup folder to /data/media/0/TWRP/... Now it will show up in the restore option.

Presuming he has the content of the random string folder, but not the folder itself, can he create a random string folder manually? Or must he take a backup and use that folder?

Like you, I've stuck with Philz for a long long time now.. Can't say for sure about twrp. I guess there's no harm in trying to make a folder and check.
However, sometimes while doing that, I faced a md5 mismatch error in twrp. But that's on a HTC One X.. No idea whether twrp has changed this since then.

i dont know why people dont do this, maybe they are worried of the little bit of space it takes in their storage, but i ALWAYS, since feb of 2009, keep a copy of my current rom and kernel in my storage. if i ever mess up doing anything, i always have my rom/kernel to flash again. no relying on computers(as im rarely around them). also, i always have one nandroid backup in my storage, just in case. it might not always be the most recent, but its there just in case.
@ProVickers
I'm not 100% sure of this but adb in TWRP doesn't work everywhere... You need to go to Advanced-Sideload.. then swipe right and then fire the adb push command..

Agreed.
Although i always have my rom, kernel and titanium backup. My nandoids move to my NAS as i don't have the space. However, I never modify anything that may require a restore when I'm away from home

I need your help, my phone decided to remove all of my files. As far as I know as long as something is not overwritten it's not really ever gone right? Is there any way to restore my lost data? I will do anything!
How did the data get deleted and are you rooted?

I am rooted. I browsed my phone files through my pc and saw what uneeded files I can remove, I saw a folder named storage but on propeties it only showed 38mb and only had one folder so I didn't even assume it is my storage folder. As well as that I have never ever had my storage folder inside my storage folder when I mounted my phone on my pc.
There's a lot more there than you saw on your pc. I'd chalk it up to a learning experience and start over. I don't think you're going to be able to recover everything

There has to be a way to restore the data, I didn't do anything unusual. My storage folder itself shouldn't appear in the ./ folder when I open the phone through the pc. This can happen to both simple users and expert. I got false information about the contents of this folder which led me to delete it. This is just the media files not /data or /system or anything.

Read the post rootSU linked you to. You may be able to recover the data. But it's a very involved process and as rootS said it's not for the faint of heart

Hey thanks for your help, I have installed all of the programs required and my phone is required in adb. I opened the Cygwin and entered the commands but it just wrote command not found. I also tried to add the destination at the beginning but it did not work either. How do I open adb using cygwin?
If I were you, try disk digger

disk digger, even pro, while it can restore alot of file types in cannot restore all of them... at least according to the play store page.
True but Its easier. I can't help you with cygwin so you're on your own there.

Do you have busybox instated on your device. Also, make sure you know what partition you want to recover. The one in the example may not be what you want. Google nexus 5 partitions xda.

I managed to work the adb issue out, but I'm returned with a 0 bytes file which is useless for me. I saw that issue on the thread as well but found no solution yet.
Alright I gave up the idea to restore it... although I lost some important files this is just too much work to get it back. What I wanna do now is create a task using Tasker to backup my entire device to my pc through wifi on the night (only changed files everytime). I know how to create the profile, but does anybody know how to create the task?

yeah, I do this. Firstly I'd recommend foldersync. It's a stand alone app but it also plugs into Tasker. Take a look
I do mention this in the thread I linked you to.
