Been looking for hours on the forums but have not been able to find anything related.
I started working with the toolkit today and I manage to root my Nexus 4.
I did a backup before hand as I know everything gets deleted.
After rooting I tried to restore 1. the back up and 2 the backup to my sd card.
While restoring the back up, when restoring the quicksearch box for google, the app stop respoding and it gave me an error message and the option to report and top the app.
When I did stop the app, the restoring process got stuck there for an hour and nothing happened. I wiped the phone and started again to restore and the same thing happened. after a few minutes it appear like the restoring process ended but I didnt see all my apps there and it kept crashing.
Anoother thing is that I wasnt able to find the restore data from my sdcard either.
Has anybody seen any similar issue like this.
thanks,
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

Hi, I'm in a bit of a rage right now. Need my phone for work, and also afraid of loosing all the pictures and videos I've taken
So my phone has worked perfectly for months, updated several times, but today after the last update it's stuck on the boot logo, the Samsung one.
I've tried hard reset with Power+Down, it just reboots to the same logo and stays there forever. I also can't get into recovery mode with Power+Up+Home, it just gives me a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it for 1 second then boots back to the samsung logo. Tried Kies 3, it doesn't recognice the phone at all, tried everything in there.
The only thing I can access is the Download mode Down+Power+Home, I have no idea what to do there, I've read about Odin but that looks like some NASA-stuff way above my knowledge, isn't there just a way to get it back to previous version? Orginal, stock and all that? Don't wanna mess with roots if that can be done
I'm out of ideas, please help me, are all my data gone? Pictures, video etc? :'(
Help please
*Sorry for bad English, not my native, but I hope it got trough.
Sounds like an update gone wrong. Restoring the phone isn't so hard but saving your pictures and data is harder in most cases. You can try using Smart Switch and see if your device shows up on failed updates, maybie it can repair the installation. You can also use Smart Switch to restore the phone completely, but this DELETES everything on it. If you haven't rooted phone and have warranty, I'd return it to Samsung with strict instructions that phone broke when software update and that you want to keep your data/pictures. If the phone is rooted there are ways to extract data from the phone memory but I'd only do that as a last option.

Yeah, I did the upgrade with modelname and S/N trough Smart Switch, it worked, but all data was lost including all my contact phone numbers, hade over 350 :| don't think they are synced either? :|
Anyway, glad the phone works, will never install these stupid updates again, never noticed a single improvment after them anyways
Hi I am new to rooting and soft bricked my phone on a Sprint Samsung S6 Edge G925P, I was messing with titanium back up and I clicked run on one of the batch files I believe it was replace apps with new versions but im not for sure. A lot of error messages kept popping up saying "name of app" closed and i could not finish my back up with titanium it was stuck at 50%. I went to go look at my phone and all the google apps such as play store and youtube were down and was replaced with the green android robot logo. I panicked and decided I should restart my phone with a factory reset. However, I can not get the reset to finish it always gets stuck on checking for updates or just a sec after waiting for long periods of time.
Please Help!!!

Hi all, I need some help. Somehow my phone one day ended up deleted all my old pictures. I never back them up and want to try and recovery them.
I've been googling and tried about 4 different data recovery programs, but at the end forwhatever reasons ends up disconnecting from my phone, my phone freezes and i'd have to do a hard reset.
I do not have root, any ideas would be helpful... ty
