Ok so I decided that I wanted to see what all the Froyo fuss was about, so I started getting my phone ready following instructions on the site. I own a Samsung i-9000m (in canada from bell - actually sasktel but we get phones from bell). anyways, I figured i'd do a rom manager backup. I did one, had some trouble with my phone and now I need to do a restore. Reading on the web they all point to an update.zip file. All I have is the following on my internal SD
ClockworkMod\2010-11-24-14.32.54\ and the following files in that folder:
cache.img
datadata.img
system.img
data.img
nandroid.md5
I tried restoring from rom manager but it doesn't find any files, I've booted into recovery but doesn't recognize the img files......any help would be amazing. Am I missing a step, google is no help
loooks like i needed the recovery update.zip file i'm assuming.....for some reason I didn't have it in the clockworkmod folder....
Hello All, this is my first post in Xda-forum, I love they way u all interact and help each other out here...well u see I hav a Allwinner A10 based tablet called Ice Xtreme which is very cheap in India do a google search on this tablet. well the company did not provide any software and I had corrupted mine while trying to use a custom recovery which was not from a allwinner a10 based tab. Anyways after alot of fuss I got it fixed but still they did not provide me with the livesuit image. I looked for ways to backing up my current working firmware from my tablet but found none. So after alot of searching I found this Script at a forum which can dump the recovery, the bootloader, boot partitions and system and data folder. But throughout my experience with this Livesuit firmware things I see that the drivers inside the vendor folder are also important as no two tablets have same chips (some thing will be different) so I modified the script and build it into a script that takes most of the directories (excluding mount,as it has only ur SD n extSD data) The dump thus created may help in modifying another image to suit ur needs.
I have only been able to backup directories and boot,recovery,bootloader partition thanks to the original script. I have no Idea how to send/restore these files to the device after flashing another rom to restore most of the things. Any help would be a boon. Thank u all for ur indirect help in bringing out the geek in me.
Try it!! & post feedbacks and suggestions...
This helps to backup the rom files with only adb. Just start the batch file & relax while ur ROM is being dumped.n it will also keep a copy on ur SDcard too.
Just use
#adb backup
for back up and
#adb restore
for restoring
# command...
But will it be possible to extract different files???!!
Hey, suppose I wanna flash a custom ROM which doesnt hav all of my boards drivers in it. So if I backup using adb can I thn restore driver files from the stock ROM backup to the new Custom ROM...
how to write backup ???
extension *.tgz??/
need expalain for restore backup..
thx..
Hello, I have a jiayu G3T ( G3QCT ) with JB Android 4.2.1 installed , but yesterday it occurred to me to look for a custom rom 4.2.2 , I downloaded the rom, and follow the instructions ( wipe data / factory reset wipe cache && && wipe dalvik ) then install the new rom, everything seems to be right , but when the phone rebooted , I noticed that said " INVALID IMEI " and did not detect the SIM card ...
I have no backup of the IMEI ( if I have the sticker underneath the battery)
I reinstalled the rom I had before jiayu , which comes standard rooted ,I have tried uncle tools and the application of jiayu , I entered the engineer mode so I went to connectivity CDS information Radio information, phone 1 & 2 wrote 2 lines (one for each option )
AT + EGMR = 1.7, " IMEI "
AT + EGMR = 1.10 , " IMEI "
but when you click on send command says " command failed to send, even after pressing repeatedly says " command was mSent " but on reboot, nothing has changed, and the IMEI is still not valid .
I tried the mtkdroidtools but says it was all right , the result is the same, nothing changes
I also tested the MAUI META 3G & IMEI and SN WRITER but I have not gotten any results ...
Someone could tell me how to fix it? thanks
I'd suggest you re flash stock rom using SP Tools, then use SN Gen to create a MP0B_001 file. Then place the generated file on your SD card, use root explorer, copy the file you have placed on the SD card and move it to /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/, and set the file's permission to rw-rw----.
Then reboot and enjoy.
stock rom
and where i cant get that stock rom? could you link it to me?
sn_gen

I see that the website is in Spanish, so I may interpret the files incorrectly.
I'm gonna presume that you have already downloaded and installed the required MTK VCOM Drivers, and the device's drivers which are also given on the website. Install both if you haven't already.
I see there is a scatter loading file present under the downloads. Download the scatter loading and the latest ROM. Extract both the ROM files and the Scatter Loading file to a same single folder. Then use SPFlashtool and select the scatter loading file from the extracted folder, and check ALL the boxes.
Then remove the battery from your phone, connect the phone to the PC, and click "Download" on SP Flash Tool. After it finishes, you should see a box with a green circle, which indicates the flashing was successful.
After that, put the MP0B_001 file on your SD card, and follow the steps given by me on post #2.
And don't forget to hit thanks if I have helped. =]

They want to just rip money off you.. All MTK devices have only that one way of restoring device's IEMI which I have listed above., as far as I know.
You can try doing the following (This is just speculation, I have never tried this but it MAY work, as a MP0B_001 file and a backup generated by Mobileuncle MTK tools have the same output when opened via a text editor.)-
After generating an IEMI file, open it using Notepad. Then copy everything written in it, make a new notepad file and paste it there. Save that file as "IEMI.bak" file, and put that in your sd card.
Then install Mobileuncle MTK tools from Play Store, give it root access and go to IEMI backup/restore option. You should find your saved backup there. Hit restore from SD card, and pray that it works.
If it doesn't work, then I'm sorry. Send the phone over to your manufacturer if all else fails.

How to create that MP0B_001 file please help!
My phone recently died and I have to factory reset it. I managed to use TWRP to recover some of my data first which included the Squid files.
According to their website rooted users can backup the database file and the required pages but it doesn't mention restoring them. I've tried copying the files back to the Squid data folder but they don't show up. I've also tried editing a papyrus.bak file (it's a zip) and adding my database/pages but when trying to restore them using the app it says restore failed.
Any ideas how I can do this?
I've got slightly further now. I managed to get Squid to load the database file after copying the backed up files to the data file. When I load Squid it shows the correct number of notes but they're all blank.
Yay! I fixed it. Apart from one file but I'm happy with that. The database I was trying to restore was looking for one extra page which didn't copy across when I was wiping my phone. Loaded up SQLiteBrowser, removed the entry from there, inserted everything into the papyrus.bak file and it restored them. Yay
hello i have a problem i save my note from squid becfause i reinstalled my rom but when i want to restore papyrus.bak it say wait for restoring datyabase... but it don't restore i waited all the night and it stay in that message.... is there another way to restore my data thanks for the help...
its very not good becfause i writed my journal of what i do in the journay and so i lost 1 month of journal..... i'm sad.... but i have the cfomplete papyrus.bak file it make 66,7 mb when i open it in a text software there is lot of text but i don't know what it say xd
Did you make a manual backup of the papyrus.bak file? And that's not working when you try to restore it with Squid?
The papyrus.bak file is a zip file with a database and other files so you need to rename it to .zip if you want to open it.
Thank you very much i restored all with winrar i repaired the papyrus. Zip and with the .pages and root explorer i renamed the blank squid notes with the pages from the papyrus. Zip and i restored all my Diary its too cool and without you i never can do it thank you and have a good day!
Hello, my problem is that i buy a jm13 smartwatch for my daughter ( https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/Fine...fb4d1e7193d687af1-1483541856075-04242-jEIyrrB )
My problem is that I wanted to remove the sounds of bootanimation, shutdown, low battery, lock, screen unlocking. I root with kingroot without worries, it started but impossible to enter the menu for developers, so I put an app to get there in system app, change the permissions but the watch blocks on the bootanimation.
I am well recognized by sp flashtool, the scatter file must be in nand, I can not find an adequate file, if anyone can help me I would be grateful.
I asked the seller to send the file but it would be surprising if he did.
Cpu mtk6572aw, 128mb ram, there remains 32mb of memory
I maybe find a solution but I need answer. My problem was that I could not enable usb debugging, no access from the menu, typing 7 times on build number did nothing. Is it possible to enable debugging from root explorer ? In this case I could buy another watch save the firmware since this with mtk droidtool and flashe on the other?
come back with my problem, i receive my new watch, editing buildprop and finally activate usb debugging, now i cant backup with mtkdroidtool because watch have only 30 mb space and no sdcard . I can flash with spflashtool with mtkdroidtool backup but no boot, only bootanimation. in folder !Files_to_FlashTool, system.img is just 17mb but in folder backup i have a folder name system size 247, maybe someone can repack it, my system is ubifs .
when i read back with sp, maybe i make something wrong but preloader stay on 0 size and with miraclebox 2.26 it write none table at the end of backup .
in mtkdroidtool ROM_flashtool, i have an error ERROR :Boot ungzip: bf.gz: not in gzip format
