[Q] rooted- can't backup rom

hello all, I'm a noobie. I'd very much appreciate any help... I want to backup my rom . no custom rom is installed, yet.
I'm rooted. have trwp on sprint samsung s5. build number kot49h.g900pvpu1ane5 .
I boot manually to recovery. the green android drops dead with a (!).
the choices are:
reboot device now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cach partition
apply update from cache
no option for backing up. any guidance would be helpful. thanks,
hal

That sounds like stock recovery. You need to get a custom recovery on there. You said you have twrp, how did you try to install it?

Thanks for responding. I used TWRP manager root when I tried to install twrp recovery. But I never actually booted into twrp.
I have philz_touch_6.41.6-klte
Will it work, and if so, how do I install it?

Have you ever used Odin? That's the best way.

Philz has been the most reliable for backup and restore.

Root Sprint S5....Step-by-Step

here's what I did to get to where I was when I started the thread:
1. followed instructions in the qbking video that's mentioned in the step-by-step root thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2737724
2. that method uses odin. it seems to have worked. I verified root using root checker basic.
3. installed TWRP manager root.
4. could not boot into recovery using twrp manager or manually. could not back up to ext sd card from twrp mangr. . applied nextapp kitkat sd card fix.
5. using titanium root, backed up apps and data to external sd. no problem.
6. changed ext storage in twrp manager to ext sd. still won't back up rom to ext sd. tried "live backup" with changed storage location to ext sd. nope, the backup went into internal storage.
I am still rooted. can I switch from twrp to phiz? how would I do that? thanks for any help.

I never use 'manager' apps, I don't trust them. You can switch recoveries anytime you want to. I would use Odin since you can't get to recovery. Do you have the recovery tar file for Odin?

I'm not sure that answers your question. if not, please clarify, and I'll try again

That doesn't install your recovery. Download Philz from the link I posted.

[Q] E8 brick

Hello. I have e8 version with single sim bought in China. I have to reflash the mobile phone because of the firmware in it with only English and Chinese. First I unlocked the bootloader and put TWRP. Then I reflashed the mobile with Oweida version 1.1.0. Firmware asked me standard questions, said that everything is in order and sent the mobile to reboot. After reboot I got a brick, not the reflashed mobile. The phone does not respond to button presses, it is not visible when connected to a computer. Steady HTC saver is on. My question is the following - is there any way to make it alive? Thank you.

I got Sprint E8 model and also bricked. Originally I thought I messed up with system/recovery so it will boot loop to fastboot screen all the time. However, after flash original RUU (either RUU tool or fastboot command method), it still boot to fastboot screen directly. Anybody have any suggestion or can probably help to resolve this issue? I believe my system/recovery has recovered, only I'm not able to boot to the OS normally.
Thanks a bunch!

If you can flash TWRP recovery and ask friend that have clean TWRP Backup you can restore again.

Thanks ian.anindya. I can flash TWRP but I don't think I can find anyone for its restore data.. Sigh..

Please do nandroid Backup or TWRP Backup before you do modification on your phone. This should be standard procedure to everyone.
Have you do wipe cache after update your rom? Sometime wipe cache could solve the problem.
Also, you can try contact pm with friend here that bring sprint model and favor to make clean Backup to share with you.

Thats not a fastboot image friend. Its a OTA zip. The factory fastboot image for Cyanogen OS 12 aren't available yet.
---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------
The best thing to do if you want to start fresh is to download and install a previous KitKat fastboot image of CM11S and then install the official Cyanogen OS 12 Lollipop OTA zip you have linked above through CM Recovery.

Actually not true. Both are the full factory image and can be flashed even after wiping /system and /data. The difference is the TWRP version has been modified by removing a script so it will work reliably when flashed with TWRP.

Those userdata.img and userdata_64G.img are same in 44S and 05Q. userdata.img in lollipop is same as 44S and 05Q. So you can use userdata_64G.img from any of 44S and 05Q.

Sorry for it. Then how about the fastboot. It should be installed from the bootloader right?
The previous one are flashable via recovery.

Or anyone could go to my guide thread, where you copied these instructions from.
Transmitted via Bacon

STEPS TO INSTALL CM12S OFFICIAL ROMS (IF you are running CM11S)
Firstly ensure that your Oneplus One device has the bootloader unlocked and you have the latest build of TeamWin Recovery Installed which is
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.1-bacon.img
Threads to install this can be found on xda
Next you need to do the following
1. Switch of your phone
2. Press down volume button and power button
3. Enter TeamWin recovery
4. Wipe factory data reset
5. Install / Flash the CM12S file which is openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.1-bacon (584MB) - hope you have downloaded this from the the link given on this thread by Taufiq.
PS:Important thin to remember if you are getting an error while flashing this ROM file then you first need to update your TeamWin recovery version.
I was on 2.8.0.1 and it gave me an error to install this, but when I updated the Teamwin recovery to 2.8.5.1 and tried to flash it it worked perfectly fine.
All the best and enjoy the official CM12S for Oneplus..It rocks!!!

ColorOS is a real piece of ****! It ruins all the good parts of the phone (hardware)
Your root custom OS is welcome bru'! I regret bitterly having bought this phone. It's my first Oppo phone and i tried with the R11 to see what about Oppo's phone.
I intend to change it against the OnePlus 5T or the Huawei Mate 10 Pro or even the Galaxy S9 when it comes out, and your custom rom just delays his death...
Thank you!

if it is lineageos, you can try advanced wipe and wipe system, data, boot, cache and dalvik.
