Hey guys,
I have 2 64gb S6. Identical phones except one is black and the other silver. My wife decided she wanted to trade phones. Both are rooted, both have TWRP recovery installed.
I created a backup of the black phone. Transferred it to the gold phone to my laptop, then to the gold S6. Both transfers were done via windows explore as mounted storage
When I boot into recovery on the gold phone it does not see the black's back up. I looked via root explorer and mounting the phone to the PC and the backup is there.
I then tried creating a backup of the gold phone. The backup was successful and is in the same directory as the black phones backup. (I have not moved the gold phones nadroid to the black phone as my wife wants to start from scratch, not sure why)
I'm at a lose as to why recovery cannot see the black phone's nandroid.
Any tips?
do not do this unless you want a potentially brick s6. every device is different regardless of if its the same size or same s6.
i repeat do not do this. better to start fresh. no issues

Newbie here.
My bro in law bought a lenovo s920 for my nephew and it is rooted (they don't even know what this actually means). The sd card would not show up but after faffing around with it I got it working somehow by restarting the phone. Anyway, thought I better back this thing up just in case it ever needed factory resetting and after hearing that you should not factory reset a rooted phone the usual way, I downloaded the TWRP app.
Problem here is, after following the procedure where I've checked what needs backing then slide the backup button and input a name for the saved file, the phone switches off and the next screen appears is in chinese with a ydss.cn logo. (I've attached photos).
Here is where I don't know which selection to make. First time I tried I just picked the first one and this just restarts the phone, but I don't think the backup is successful because I can't find the TWRP folder anywhere.
Anyone has any idea what the procedure is with this ydss.cn?
I've never rooted a phone before and just wanted to back this up so I can just restore it easily.
Any advice would be most appreciated

Hello, I have a copy of the S5 i9600 (MTK 6589), which has root privileges. Unfortunately I was one day longer use read sim card mobile phone (Nexus S in fully working), which only helped to factory settings.
After one day I had a mobile home and the constant renewal of me stopped working sim card reader. So now I have no signal. To make matters worse, two days ago, when I tried to upload using CWM PC W7 64bit version for my cell phone, I disappeared system recovery mod s3 and CWM is not uploaded.
Now when I want to get in any way to recovery menu, so I just reboot after the display turns black and after a while the phone restarts itself into the system Android. I have tried several programs to Flash recovery, but without success.
It always appeared a black screen and rebooting the system Android 4.4.2 Is there any way to upload recovery menu - ideally CWM - back to the phone so I could try alternative ROM slot to put into operation sim card?
Thank you for your response.
purchased already rooted verizon s5. developer edition. kitkat 4.4.4, cm11, twrp installed.
i loaded titanium backup which i used on my prior phone (that was a razr maxx with os 4.?, cm (cant remember version), safestrap). ran a titanium backup. assumed it wd create a fresh backup for my new device.
upon rebooting, CM blue circle appears and runs then i get screen with time/weather in top half. dialpad on bottom half with label "verizon wireless emergency call".
only new thing was running backup. didnt try to restore prior copy of backup. could this have somehow erased part of my CM?
my old phone always had the safestrap pop up as it loaded so cd go into safe mode. thought briefly about loading safestrap prior to backup....but assumed twrp wd function the same.
if i press power+vol up+vol down: get maint boot mod. can pick safe mode. get s5 screen then CM blue circle and back to emergency dialer.
any way to reload CM w/o wiping the entire device?
appreciate any help with this. im somewhat tech savvy but new at the whole rooting thing.

Maybe re-flashing the ROM (non-wipe) can help.
Best is to ask in the Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
Good luck !
Thread closed and thank you.
My Verizon GS3 softbricked a few days ago. I was running stock but had it rooted. It would freeze at the Samsung black and white screen on boot. I could only boot into Recovery Mode and Download Mode. The last back up I did of the internal data was 6 months ago. I want to recover the data before doing a hard/factory reset.
I read several post and was unclear on what to do in my situation. But I tried to gather as much info as I could. So I decided to try Odin and flash with the same firmware to my phone thinking the data will be saved. I flashed my phone with I535VRUDNE1_I535VZWDNE1_I535VRUDNE1_HOME.tar and it PASSED with success. Then I flashed with VRALEC.bootloader.tar and that FAILED. Then I flashed with VRALF2.boot.tar and that PASSED. My phone now boots up in Factory Mode (the black and yellow text box floating on the default home screen) but I can't see my old data or my normal home screen. Under the Storage Settings on the phone I can see that my 16GB internal memory only has 488MB left. But when I check it with Windows Explorer and File Explorer (in Linux) I can only see a few folders that total 4.27MB of data. So there's just over 15GB of data sitting there that I can't access yet.
It looks like the data is still there but I need to know how to access it. I have word docs, pdfs, pictures, video and mostly audio clips from lectures that I would like to recover.
Does anyone know how to recover this data? Please post or message me. Thanks
Hello there
I have about 25 google nexus 5 phones to be distributed to some people. I installed all the necessary apps and removed some system apps from one of the phones. Now i want the rest 24 phones to have the same composition as the first one. I tried creating a cyanogenmod backup coping it to the other phone and restoring it - then the phone keeps on showing the loading screen for long time so i got back to recovery mode and made a factory reset and tried to start the phone. unfortunately it is not opening - just shows the loading screen. it has been more than 15 minutes now.
Please help me on how i could get access to the phone and how I can clone my "customized phone" to all the others.
Any help and suggestion is welcome. Thank you
Cyanogenmod backup? So you are rooted, yes?
Install TWPR Recovery on the first phone, and use that to make a backup.
Then install TWRP on your other phones, and make a backup on them to create a backup folder. You'll need to unlock the bootloaders on all of them first.
Transfer the backup from the first phone into the backup folders on the others, and restore the backup in recovery (TRWP).
