On my old device ADM could locate my device. Since i get new device from RMA ADM cannot locate my device. I tried every suggestion that i found on forum and internet and nothing helped. Since it dont work since i get new device maybe the reason can be that i put the backuped partitions from old to the new device throuht twrp. So what shall i do?

It is. But as i said, it was working on old device so it should be something correlated to the restoring backup from old to the new device.

ah, it was an older nandroid you restored on a new device.. uninstall the app, then reinstall it.

It did not helped.
This is one of many reasons I personally never recommend that people use a nandroid from one device to another.
Just wipe and flash stock with fastboot. Done.
Backup your user apps and data with titanium backup.
I will try that as a last resort since there is a little progress.
As can be seen on picture ADM locate my device, but it says that it is unavailable.
From second picture can be seen that ADM registered my both N5, and that old one was last been online on the 12 of July and that the new device was last online on the 4 of August. On the 4th August was my new device still with a original firmware. But after that when I put OmniROM and restore data from old device ADM thinks that my device was not online but it can locate it. Strange.
Any suggestions?

I guess you'll find out shortly cause i'm about to do it
Factory reset should not touch /system which is where the binary and apk reside.

Well, here are some preliminary findings
After rooting I was not able to use my phone for USB Mass storage, not exactly sure why, just an observation. Before root, it worked fine.
After FR, I am now able to use my phone for USB MS again. However, upon the first time trying to mount it as MS device I got a pop up window telling me of one or more problems on the disk (sdcard) and it said that happens when a file or files were not done writing to the card before it was unmounted. Not sure how that could have happened, but it did. It gave me two options, scan and fix Atrix 2 or scan w/o fixing Atrix 2. Choosing option 1 would run checkdisc and attempt to fix any problems found, that's what I did and it fixed the problem.
After rooting I was unable to check for system updates, let me clarify....I could physically tell the phone to check for them but I would get an error that said "Check for system update is not available at this time, please try again later."
After FR, I get a different message that states "Your device is up to date, no update necessary at this time."
After rooting I was able to use MyBackup Root to backup all my apps and stuff.
After FR, this is what I get when trying to open the app

I am going to install SU to see if that changes anything re: root access, will post back with update.
i launched Titanium Backup the other day after rebooting and it said i didnt have root. rebooted again and launched the app, root came back....its really weird... had this happen on the Atrix 1 as well. even on custom roms that are pre-rooted.
A lot of times it is because the superuser app is not running or failed to launch. Opening superuser and going back to whatever app complained usually works for me.
IMO, I haven't even rooted this device (yet) but that's my experience on my last phone.

out of all the devices i have and have had, the atrix and the atrix 2 are the only ones i have seen this on.
It's worth a try, next time it occurs. Again, I haven't done anything with this device specifically, so it could be something else.
I've decided not to try it, nothing really to gain at this point since rooting this phone doesn't accomplish much yet.
I rooted my phone, I think... I did get these errors:

Is that normal and safe?
What's next? What do I do from here? I really have no idea what to do or what I can do. Please share any information on the world of a rooted android device
Looks normal to me. It pushed busybox and superuser to system, which means you're rooted and can now run root apps. Just reboot and you're done.

It came with superuser, but what does it do? I did not find busybox. Where can I find it and how does it work? It auto rebooted. Where can I get rooted apps and what else can I do?

You can get rooted apps from the market or just download and flash them. Titanium Backup, Superuser, ROM Manager are examples.
ROM manager will also let you flash clockworkmod recovery, the basic tool for installing new roms/kernels/radios.
Your world is just beginning, really.

Firstly, there's a different sub-forum for each phone, so find yours' and hopefully they have a good FAQ. Once you've installed cwm, here is a tutorial for installing ROMs on Galaxy Nexus; it should mostly carry over. There's likely more tutorials around google/youtube for your own specific phone.
For titanium backup, always remember to backup user apps ONLY. Never, ever backup system apps or system data, because with custom roms you'll be changing the system. For a "full" (we call it "nandroid") backup use cwm.

I have a Samsung Exhibit. I only see threads on Exhibit II.
Btw, where is the backup user apps ONLY? TB is really confusing.
Hope everyone is having a good week so far.
I am relatively new to my Nexus 5, and loving the phone so far. I am not new to flashing roms, rooting devices, etc., but definitely not a extreme power user by any means.
The one issue I am running into is preserving a particular application, MobilePass, as I flash a new rom on my Nexus 5. By flashing I mean a clean flash (clearing system data etc). I use titanium backup (paid version), and while it will restore the APK, it does not restore the app information. Why this is a problem is the program is used to generate a VPN key, and if the token information is not preserved I have to go through this long process at work to get the VPN working again (sending access code, having infrastructure enable, etc.) Will say, I can understand if it is not possible to restore a program like this for security reasons, but figured I will ask the community.
The steps I take in running the backup in titanium:
- Going to the batch screen
- Selecting backup apps + system data
Have never tried the option to create a flashable zip.
Anyone have pointers or other backup utilities they would suggest?
Additionally, did read over: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717159 but did not really give me anymore information than I did not already know.
Thanks for any help.
**Edit after installing helium (CM backup solution), it seems that there is an option in Android application development to not allow apk backup's. So there might not be a solution here.

Some apps just don't respond well to being restored. Don't think there's much you can do. Maybe try another backup app to see if it's the same deal?

Thanks for the fast reply. Are there any other backup programs you recommend?
Titanium is the best for a reason. Extremely reliable and paid version has many uses.
But just to see if your app is capable of restoring data... Try anything you find on playstore. Just backup that app. Then uninstall it. And try restore. There's "my backup root" and "Helium" . Those are the only 2 I know off hand.
Maybe try the apps website to see if you can find out if it's even possible to restore data maybe first though.

Thanks KJ. I did try Helium, and think I found the issue. Updated the first post with a screenshot. Would be nice if Titanium had the same notification system.
Hello guys, so basically you are my last hope since I cannot find a solution for my problem (at least with my level of knowledge).
Lets start from the beginning: I (someone with no experience in this topic) decided to try out a new OS on my old Samsung Galaxy S3 since a lot of apps stopped working on Android 4.3. I tried a tutorial on youtube on how to install a new custom ROM. I installed TWRP (3.5.2_9-0-i9300) and later with the help of TWRP Lineage OS 17.1 (an unoffical version for my type of phone) and everything worked perfect.
I started to download all apps I need and to customise my OS. In the end when everything was set up I decided to do a full backup using TWRP and thats where the problem started. In the development section I checked the function, that when you press the power button you can directly boot your phone into recovery mode. So my phone rebooted and ended up in a constant boot loop where at first the Samsung Galaxy logo appears (first picture) and then TWRP appears (second picture) and this process goes on and on...

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Sadly there is no way to get into recovery mode since this loop just continues. If tried it many times also with taking out the battery and putting it back in. The only thing I have access to is the download mode.
So my question to you: is there anything I could do in the download mode to solve this problem? I saved the important data before so a full wipe wouldnt be a problem. Maybe I can do something with odin?
I really hope you can give me some ideas to try out. Every help is appreciated. Thanks!
Try reflashing a stock ROM first of all.
Then reflash TWRP. Make a TWRP backup (especially the EFS ! That is a "must-do first and foremost" !) of your working system and progress from there.
And in the future, instead of reinstalling all your apps piecemeal I strongly recommend you use Titanium backup (paid version. The free version is very limited), that is a wise invesment for the small sum it'll cost you
@Snakeforhire reflashing stock ROM worked, thank you so much.
I will take a closer look on Titanium backup. Used it in the past but with root access. On the new Lineage OS I dont have root although it shouldnt be hard to get from what I read.
i saw an strange app installed on my oppo A37f App: "OppoToolsPlugin". This app installed on may 20, 2020 Package name: com.wuxianlin.oppotoolsplugin

Did you install it?
Make a copy via ApkExport
Scan with online Virustotal. Decide.
If you uninstall it and that doesn't work, factory reset.
i don't know if i installed it. till i know as installation was done on the date i mentioned, at that time pendamic was active. i was not working anymore on that time so as i know about that time i din't installed it but just a hours ago i notice this app in my installed app note as system apps.

It looks like a rooting app.
I'm not familiar with that device manufacturer or app. However it looks like a high risk apk to me especially if you're not rooted and can't recall downloading it. It's probably capable of causing a lot of damage.
If running on Android 9 or higher, a factory reset should purge any root kits if present. If you do a factory reset, set a new Google account password (make sure you write it down correctly) after the factory reset. Change any other critical passwords.

Do a scan with Malwarebytes afterwards.
Keep an eye on your download folder and make sure install unknown sources is always disabled unless you need to use it to sideload.
Be careful what you install...
