[Q] Go back from EOS4 to EOS3 or rooted stock 4.1.2 - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have xoom 604 running latest EOS4. I have issues playing some old games that played fine on EOS3 155. I'm planning to give this tablet to my father. He will be using it mostly for web, book reading and some gaming. So the questions are:
1. Should I downgrade back to EOS3? If yes, anything I need to watch out for coming from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2 running latest TWRP 2.6
2. Should I keep it at EOS4?
3. downgrade it to rooted stock 4.1.2
Thanks in advance

Anybody?

Sorry I dont have the answer but Im also looking to go back to a stock Rom. Do you have the stock rom or a link to one.

I went back to EOS 3 v155 and very happy with it. There is a link to rooted 4.1.2 stock. I would never go back to unroot.

Why is root so necessary, Perhaps cause im old now and dont mess with my devices like I used to Im missing something. At this point I just want reliability over anything else. Been using EOS 3 stable and its locks up and acts weird initially just about every time I go to use it.

Because I can back up everything and remove ads. Try 155 it's better, but do a fresh install wipe everything.

Thanks for responding, Its been a while since I did anything what do you mean by wipe everything.

In recovery do factory reset. You can backup users(only) apps with TB. After install, let android restore your apps and if you need restore backed up apps+data from TB

So do the factory defalt in my current rom then install the new one, do a Ti back up before and save it to my card

yes

Have you given 4.2.2 a spin? It runs quite well on my Xoom.

That wasn't the question , was it? My xoom has issues running some games on EOS4 that runs fine on EOS3. I was giving to my family member who wants to play those games.

Back up your apps( not system apps) with TB. Find BT back folder and copy BT backup folder to your computer. You might have to copy TB backup folder to download folder first before copying it out to pc, eitherwise you may not see when connected to pc. Wipe everything including internal storage in TWRP. In TWRP mount usb and copy latest working EOS3 and EOS3 gapps into the Xoom. Install ROM and GAPPS. After first boot google should restore all apps you had installed before than copy TB backup folder back.
Hope this helps.

Nandroid never works for me... what am I doing wrong?

Ok. So ever since I've had this device it's been rooted and as such, i've tried a number of roms. The problem is whenever I start with a rom I really enjoy (currently the stock one... go figure) then i do a nandroid back up.. try a new one.. to find some glaring shortcoming i just have to have (a2dp) and try to restore my nandroid. On my G2 this process was absolutely seamless!
What happens is i restore nandroid... but it doesn't restore my apps... all the space is definitely gone.. like they're in teh file system and cards... but they don't show up in teh launcher and my wallpaper is back to stock... just as if i had a stock device.
Any ideas?

What version of CWM are you using?
Sent From My G2x Running CM7 Nightly 70
Are you initiating the backups thru rom manager or directly from recovery? If you're initiating them from rom manager try booting directly into recovery and then making a backup.
I'm using 3.0.2.7 (the one that rom manager tells me to use). but i always backup while booting directly into CWRM because as we all know... Rom Manager doesn't see the external SD but CWRM does.
I would reflash CWM again.
Do a Nandroid, put it in the sd card and try restoring again.

I think your problem is that you're using rom manager. Try doing it the real way (nvflash).
Rom manager is great on phones in which it doesn't use fakeflash, but I would stay away from the program on phones in which it utilizes fakeflash.

how do you quickly restore after ROM install?

For those that are testing roms,how do you back up your installed apps/data to load to the new rom and get up and running quickly? I have 80+ apps that I really hate to have to reinstall or have progress reset every time I try a new rom. I have TB but have seen mixed reviews here on its results. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. I have already read the threads how to backup existing setup in case something goes wrong.

Make a CWM backup. Install new ROM, then go to Backup and Restore, go to advanced restore, then select the backup you made, and select restore data. That will bring back all of your apps/setting and such.

I apologize, I misunderstood your question......
I used CWM when I went from stock rooted 2.3.5 to stock rooted 2.3.6 to restore all my apps. I'd imagine there could be some issues if you used CWM in the same manner when going from stock rom to say RebelROM so for that I'd use MyBackup. I prefer it over TB any day. So use MB to make your backup of your apps (apk's and data) before flashing the new rom, flash the new rom and then once you get MB on your phone again use it to restore the apps, apk's first then data after all the apk's have been restored.
Sorry for the confusion
I use Rom Toolbox...it works quite well

I just tested a theory i had and it worked flawlessly. I just flash supercharged v5 and before i did i just wiped cache and dalvix and formatted system, i did not do a factory data reset. I then flashed the rom and everything went flawlessly. I still have all my apps and data from before the flash.

Just got Galaxy S3! New to rooting, ROM, etc....

Hey guys! I just bought the Galaxy S3 and I'm really loving it so far. However, it is my first Android device, so I'm still pretty new to all this rooting, flashing, ROM, etc. All I know is that rooting is similar to jailbreaking in iPhone (which I understand pretty well and use to do all the time) in that it allows you to do things you wouldn't originally been able to do. Because of that, I decided to root my Galaxy S3 following a Youtube video, which turned out really well and was pretty simple. After that, I watched another video to "flash a rom" (I think that's how you say it...) and installed CyanogenMod 10. I wanted Jelly Bean over TouchWiz ICS, so I'm liking it so far. Everything runs smoothly and that Project Butter is uh-mazing! However, I think I've noticed some bugs. For example, the camera's exposure settings don't work and every once in a while, my home button doesn't respond when I'm trying to wake it up from lock! I actually had to pull my battery out yesterday because it wouldn't respond and just froze ...Is there anyway that I can fix this? My Dolphin Browser doesn't play flash anymore too, but that's a little fine with me, since the stock browser is able to. And also, I noticed that when I flashed the rom, it pretty much wiped my phone clean, so is there a way to install all my apps and data back the way I wanted previously? I heard about somethings like Titanium Backup, but then I'm also confused about what the hell all that custom backup and recovery and ClockWork Mod and Rom Mananger is about ...Is it also ok that I installed Apex Launcher after getting CyanogenMod 10? I like how I can still customize it and whatnot.
Sorry for making this post so lengthy! I'm just really excited and curious about how all of this works. It's definitely a lot more complex (but a ton more fun and interesting! ) than just jailbreaking an iPhone. I've looked around the forum and have read some 101 Basics, but it's still quite a lot to understand all in one day. Anyways, if anyone can please provide some feedback, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you! :laugh:
I was using SynergyRom v1.7 for a few days but was really laggy on my device. Ive since switch over to CleanRom 2.0 SP1 running CleanKernel 1.0, using CWM 6.0.1.0 recovery, and so far seems to be running alot smoother and faster than Synergy. The only problem ive found with it is the Rom comes with the cpu set up to 1.9 Ghz even when I have it set at 1.5 on SetCPU, and if im putting a heavy load on my device, the back gets pretty warm. There is a post I remember seein something about that issue but cant find it.

welcome! i'm still a noob too but customizing and flashing roms is definitely a whole lot of fun. A few things:
before you continue I suggest that you backup your IMEI if you have not done so. There are currently 3 methods to doing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852255
you can do all 3 methods just to make sure you are safe.
TitaniumBackup is an awesome program that can save your apps and their data, your contacts, your sms, all to your SD card so that when you need to wipe your data clean you can easily restore all your apps and such again. There is a free version in the appstore that I think is a must have.
ClockworkMod is a custom recovery for our device and basically what we use to flash new roms and kernels. Also we can create Nandroid backups (basically a snapshot of our system that we can restore at a later time) through CWM.
As for launchers you can feel free to use Apex, Nova, Holo, any of these launchers with the different Roms. They will generally come pre-loaded with one but if you have a preference you can just install that launcher and set it as the new default.

Nandroid Backs up your whole system and Titanium just backs up your apps and app data, Not exactly sure what a IMEI is but if you don't have it you wont have any service.
an IMEI is a code unique to your device that allows your phone to be identified by your provider. Without it you won't have a phone signal nor data. You should back it up as it has been reported that rarely users can lose their IMEI upon flashing a rom.
The devs have been hard at work at learning what triggers this to happen and ways we can get rid of the problem altogether but until then, it's wise to backup the IMEI and save the backups in a safe place.
Most have lost their Imei when flashing aosp roms but not all. Some have reported it with touchwiz roms as well.
The are 3different methods to back it up though not 100% .
All are featured in development section.

Where is everything backed up to? Like say I want to flash a bunch of roms, and later decide to go back to my stock rom, what do I do?
All nandroid backups (cwm) by default are saved to the root of the internal SD card. They typically are small compressed files and really no need to ever move them, though you can have as many as you want, just label and sort them in cwm app.
Titanium defaults to internal SD (again root file that won't be wiped when wiping data), but you can easily change this location to your external to make you feel safer.
Same deal with rom zip files, if you drag and drop through your desktop, you can drop on either sd card or external. If you download through your phone it will be on internal in downloads file, safe from a wipe. You can then move if needs be using a file explorer app. Just remember your location when flashing so you can find your zip in recovery.

Ahhh ok. So I'm pretty sure that I did a nandroid backup. So if I want to go back to my old rom, do I just reboot into recovery and click restore or something like that?
That's it. I have several nandroid backups of various rom's and configurations that I can then choose from in recovery. Just remember that if one of your recoveries is original stock (which you should have done), just remember that after flashing that backup, you probably will need to reinstall cwm or similar recovery. You won't need to do that with anything other than stock. I'll do my best to answer any other questions, and please tap the thanks button if this helped!

Oh ok. But if flash the stock rom, will it wipe my phone clean, or will I stay rooted? And do roms take up a lot of storage? I had quite a lot of free space, but after CM10 I lost about 1-2 gb I think.
Yes, roms do take up alot of storage, so its a good idea to put the zip files on your external sd card to keep your internal as free as possible, especially if you have multiple roms that your playing around with. As far as flashing stock, if you mean restoring your stock rom from a backup in recovery mode, then the answer is yes to staying rooted, and no to wiping it clean. It will be in the same state that your phone was in when you made the backup. However, if you flash on an original stock rom it can unroot you and wipe everything depending on how its flashed in. This method really should only need to be done if a backup was not made of your stock rom, or if you have bricked your device in some manner.
Oh okay. So I should be fine then. Which rom do you recommend for this S3? I'm trying to find one that is really stable and is hopefully jelly bean. I'm looking at CleanRom right now, because I like how it incorporates some touchwiz, but I think it's ICS?

titanium backup, buy it. you'll use it all the time
You can make a flashable zip of your stuff. If you do this, I have only had good resaults of flashing it after rebooting into the new rom and then flash the update zip. also would be good if you went ahead and did the thing in your securty setting to allow the non play store apps, especially if you have them.
This usually does a great job of doing the data part of the apps like logins and stuff. sometimes mine dont work right at first but it still saves a lot of time
If the rom you are going to doesnt have root built into it, which I think all here do, then getting root back isnt hard and there is this voodoo root keeper app as well somewhere maybe on the market. but rerooting isnt that big of a deal and shouldnt be nesesary

Ty very informative, but I don't think the root will be installed because im going for stock JB.
Only question is can I flash in germany's ROM when I'm on European now?
Yep, ODIN or mobile ODIN will do it... You would benefit from backing up internal sd card - connect to pc and copy contents of phone/internal.... This means if it does an entire wipe you don't loose all your game saves etc.... Not likely to but the chance is always there, especially if you use mobile ODIN and tick "clear cache/data"...
Though I am curious why you don't flash the stock UK JB rom in developement as all are the same, just csc is different...

I have up and I believe darkman_rs does as well, stock versions of the jelly bean set up to run on an 8013. Mine is for the uk and I think darkman has the nordik. Either will work. I am in the U.S. and use the uk version with no issues. The csc is consumer region stuff, both of these roms have that stuff taken care of so they will not have an issue in any region.
So if you are on a custom rom and want to go to a complete stock, then go to sammobile, firmware, download one from there and flash through odin, then reroot
Or you can grab another stock, or custom rom from here set to flash through cwm and go that route

I have a xoom mz604 with eos3 stable, after installing a corrupt apk (never again) my zoom went crazy, showing the unfortunately app is not working message time and time again. Then, after power on again, it stuck on the eos logo until now. I tried to reinstall the eos3 rom .zip file and gapps from the sdcard (in recovery mode) but still the same problem.
Please somebody help me. i love my xoom. thanks

I believe you should go to the Partitions on Recovery and wipe every single one (except Internal Data and sdcard). That may solve your problem, as I believe you're with a broken system and kernel. Then try installing a stable file .
Good luck,

Hi, whilst I'm no expert, I'd recommend running a full wipe from recovery.
If you'd like to keep your data and apps I'd suggest making a nandroid backup, copying this to your PC, then after the wipe download busybox and appextractor from Play Store, copy the backup to your Xoom and you can restore things as you wish.
Or if you have your own preferred method of backup, go with that.
Hopefully this helps!
Edit: Well Lord got there whilst I was typing! He knows better than I so go with that
Thanks for answering, Could you tell me exactly how to do it in clockworkmod recovery.

Hi,
To do that, you need to go Mounts and Storage and then wipe every thing except by Internal Data and Sdcard. Also, remember to have the file ready to be flashed! Otherwise it's very probably that you'll fall in the RSD Mode 3 Brick!

That's a good option, just remember to backup your data. You can find a nice guide to restore to stock in the FAQ .
I tried the option unroot and return to stock but my pc doesn't recognize my tablet. what else can i do?
