Cant update stuck on UCKD5 HELP!

As the title states my phone is stuck with baseband version I997UCKD5. Everytime my phone trys to get a update it tells me that it cannot connect to ATT servers. My phone is rooted, is this why its not updating or do I have a defective phone. I have tried to find the answers for with no luck so if someone could please point me in the right direction that would be great.

this is typical att. it is not the phone. can you connect to odin? if you can then backup your apps with titanium backup then use odin to flash gtg's rooted ucke3 package, then backup the new rom with cwm (just good practice). if the apps are wiped then use titanium to reinstall them. it is not always a good idea to restore system data with titanium but i dont think there are significant system changes to prevent hat from working, id try it then if everything force closes id wipe user data in recovery and try it again without restoring system data.

I had the same problem even when i was UNrooted. I rooted my phone and updated to that Infused ROM. I then used the [ODIN][UCKE3] Return to stock download to return to stock and then I had the new update. Everything turned out fine, I had no problems afterwards. I then proceeded to UNroot the device and a day or 2 after that I recieved a new update but alas my phone STILL cannot connect to the servers.

Sorry for my stupidity but I'm still learning, are you saying to load odin UCKE3 to my phone and get the update that way and if i loose my app backup up with titanium?

yes, backup just in case. i dont know if gtg's package wipes but it probably does, actually id bet on it.
sometimes if the firmware is different restoring system data causes issues, what that means is you would lose your call logs and things. but if the app+system data restore causes issues you can just clear data in recovery mode and restore app+data rather than apps +all system data.
do you have contacts sync'd with google? att? if not export the contacts to a v-card on the sdcard. then import after the flash. but i recomend the gole contacts sync if you have want to set it up, sometimes simply setting it up on the phone doesnt work the first time. but once it is working it will restore contacts to any android phone you ever own and you can edit and merge contacts from the gmail website to keep it organized.

this is after the flash? did you have to log into the maket and install titanium backup from the market or were all the old apps still there? did you make a backup before the flash? is super user installed? busybox?

sorry i think i miss read something, i thought you meant "incase" hand you lose you apps to backup with titanium which would imply it would be before but now i see it says "if" which implies after the fact, sorry if my confussion caused you problems.
so you didn't do the backup before the flash? and all that apps are present but some force close? is this right? just for clerification

if the apps are still there you may just need to clear app data, this can be done in titanium or in setting> apps > manage apps> all go to each app individually and clear data. this will lose progress on games but not usually much else.
you may prefer to use titanium, to get titanium to work go to settings> apps > manage apps > 3rdparty/downloaded scroll down to titanium and clear data (this wont hurt the backups they are on the sd card)
if that doesnt work and you have access to the market then delete titanium and reinstall it.

im about to be away from my computer, if this doesnt get resolved contact me through pm and i will get back to it tonight. i will make every attempt to keep whatever apps you still have.

[Q] Backup before bootloader unlock?

I am going to unlock my bootloader sometime next week (and root after that ofc).
I already used my phone for several weeks thought, I got it fully configured to my taste.
1. What exactly gets deleted when I unlock my bootloader?
All apps + usersettings + smses etc? Also everything in /sdcard ?
2. What is the best way to backup all data?
I can backup /sdcard alright, but is there a non-root app for backing up all apps + settings?

Helium is a non-root app backup option. You have to pair it with the pc program, but it leaves the backups on the phone. I don't know about what gets wiped, though, I've not unlocked my bootloader.

SnapPea can backup your texts, images, etc. Get the app from store & download the pc programme. You can also backup to the cloud (I think) Good luck!

There is a guide using ADB backup:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351
Contrary to the guide, I didn't need an encryption password for it to work. I did however have to try it a few times before it would work (it stopped several times--failed), but got a backup eventually. It does reportedly work for the Moto G.
I haven't restored it yet though. I'm in the same boat as you are at the moment and I am preparing to unlock and root once I have all the help and supporting files for the process.

For anyone that is interested, the Helium backup app mentioned in a previous post utilizes this same ADB backup protocol cited in the link above in order to accomplish the backup. Helium just automates the process and slaps on a nicer UI.

That's good to know, cheers.
Apparently SMS messages aren't backed up with ADB. I've looked around and found this free app MyPhoneExplorer that can handle that part amongst other features. Seems it can backup locally.

The Helium Backup is made on the phones storage. But sure you can copy that to your PC and copy it back afterwards.
Both apps are working nice without any problems.

Excellent. Now to the tricky parts...
On a side note, with ADB I was able to write the backup straight to PC, but I think writing to the phones storage would be more reliable, then copying it off.

I did not encouter any problems while just simply copying files to storage.

Titanium backup: Apps crash after restore

Migrating to a new phone and discovered an issue with the backups on my old phone. This is tested and happening on both btw.
If I backup and restore a working app it then will force close on opening. Clearing cache and data and still force closes.
I tried uninstalling titanium, deleting titanium folder and reinstalling.
Same issue after a backup and restore of an application.
Running Oneplus 6 and Oneplus 7 pro
Unlocked and unrooted with magisk
Titanium at latest version from market.

App restore with titanium doesn't work for switching to a new phone, only restoring to the same phone and same os. When it does work the apps tend to be super glitchy. I'll drop a link to the xda thread where you can get more info/ help. Good luck.

Agreed. I've only migrated app data to a new phone using TB import/export (.TiBkp) feature. AFAIK, you can only do that one app at a time. So I've only done it with a few apps that I really wanted to save the user data.
More folks on this forum are recommending Swift Backup these days. It seems more reliable for this phone. I've use TB for years, but now I've just started trying out Swift Backup.

It appears TB is not compatible with the newer "split apks" format for newer apps in the appstore.
Basically TB will only backup the "base.apk" for an app when it does a backup. But with split apks, there are other APK files besides base.apk, like one for the app's language (split_config.en.apk) or the cpu type (split_config_arm64_v8a.apk) and the screen resolution (split_config.xxhdpi.apk).
So, since TB does NOT backup these extra apk files, these files will be missing when you do a restore with TB and thus the restored app will crash when you try to run it.
Luckily there is a new open-source backup app that works well with Slit-apks on Android 8+:
GitHub - NeoApplications/Neo-Backup: backup manager for android
backup manager for android. Contribute to NeoApplications/Neo-Backup development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
And I think it's better then Swift backup because:
1) Swift backup requires your google account login
2) Swift backup throws errors if you block internet access to it for security reasons
3) Swift backup is not open-source, so it could go the way of TB in the future.
4) And OandBackupX is FREE

So I tried this app and maybe you can help me out and tell me why after trying a restore I ended up with all of these errors , any advice or hints would be great,,,also prior to attempted install I was rooted and about 40 plus apps installed fine,
Swift does not give me these errors
Thanks

Those errors seem like there is a problem with xandbackupx not being able to gain root access.
When you first started OABX, it has a bunch of cards where each card requires a different permission on your device - did you go through each card/step and give all those permissions, including root?
Are you using android 8+?

Thanks for the reply,,, yes I checked all and granted all permissions, Iam on a11 firmware running a a12 rom Bliss, ,, I will mess with it some more with it , it looks really robust with alot of options so maybe one of the settings need to be ticked or maybe it's just this rom, it's not a big deal as I have the other one to fall back on until I do some more testing

Question How am I supposed to restore a backup from my p2xl to my new pup using the backup on Google drive?

The title says it all. I've got this backup on the Google drive cloud from my old phone. There are no options to restore from it. Is the only time to restore from the old phone's backup at setup?!

I was wondering that too and I just assumed you could do so during setup by selecting the "cable doesn't fit" option or saying you didn't have access to your old phone. Not sure about after setup tho..

I can't believe there's no other way to utilize our backups except during the time of setup ridiculous. Does anyone know if there's a way to get the backups on our new device after setup or how to force the setup menu?

It's not too tough, using ADB, or it doesn't appear tough (I haven't actually tried this, but retrieving and using the correct token-values seems pretty straightforward): https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/testingbackup
There do appear to have been some "launch apps" that were able to trigger this through a (hidden) system-app-launch, but I see zero mention in more recent (i.e. > A9) times...
My personal peeve is the fact that Google makes it incredibly difficult to access (can't even see these anymore on my Drive account), and create some sort of restore-point backup, of a device. You can use this same adb technique above, but what if you just want to "fiddle with some sketchy apps", or similar, and have a couple of bailout backups, it's sure not easy, by any stretch...

I just moved my swift backup from my PC to my p7p. I'm ready to restore. Google seems to have done a good job restoring my apps through its backup. It didn't seem to restore any of the data though. How should I do the restore with swift? Do I just restore the data for system and user apps? Do I slrwatore the APKs too? Given that most of not all the apps have been restored by Google what happens if I restore the APKs with swift too? Will the apps be duplicated?

I use Swiftbackup to restore apps with its data which works 90+ percent of the time. I think you can restore the apps again via Swiftbackup.

When I last used Swift to restore from backup all my apps were glitchy. I had started to clear data from them all to get them to work correctly, but ended up doing a factory reset. Restored from Google and everything was fine

Full phone backup with ROOT access

I'm looking for an app that will allow me to back up the entire contents of my phone to one single .zip file which I could then flash back if needed. It would be best if there was an app that could transfer the backup to my computer where I would store the individual backups. I should add that I have root access, but even so, I haven't found any application that backs up the entire system to a single file. I don't have a custom recovery, only the stock one. Is there any app for that? Ideally for Windows, where I would connect the phone with a cable and perform the backup setup from there.

What are "the entire contents of your phone"? All partitions + personal data, apps and so on?

Oh yes, exactly. For a case like system update potentially messing up the device - (oh, I just realized that if my device would softbricked i would need to restore that image or zip file through the recovery anyway), so i guess without a custom recovery this isn't doable right?

As long as no custom ROM gets installed you only need a backup of your data. The remaining images are part of your firmware.
Without a custom recovery like TWRP you can backup your data only during the running system. Your stock recovery can't access /data as a filesystem, because it's not mounted. Also an entire image of that partition wouldn't be possible.

Now I learned something. Thank you. That'll do. Titanium Backup it is then.

Titanium Backup is outdated, I suggest NeoBackup (open source) or Swift Backup (closed source, you can't decrypt the backup on your own).

It doesn't make any sense to encrypt MY own data. Swift Backup gets access to the data by Magisk and that's me. I don't need an app that makes my own data inaccessible for me without any reason.
