Full back-up : rooted firmware + data + apps. Possible?

Hello,

I have an issue with the screen that is detaching more and more. So I plan to send it back to Sony SAV.

My phone is rooted and I really want to keep the firmware I am using right now (I do not want to move to Android 5).

I know how to copy my data, applications and so one. But I want a full backup to perform a full restore once it will be exchanged. Is there any way to do a full back-up with the firmware also?

Thanks,
Javier

Sending my rooted and xposed phone back to verizon.

What would be the best way to reset this thing to be ready to send back? Would I need to KDZ it or just use the superuser root removal process? Thanks in advance.

Poor battery life on a rooted phone

Hi guys, I just bought a z3 from a friend, and I have some battery problem

On 5.1.1, my battery only last for a day, which is under my expectation for the z3. Note that I only use my phone when necessary, location, mobile data, nfc, bluetooth, wifi are always off when I don't need them. I lend my mother's z3v and its battery life was excellent, I compared the 2 phone by watching a youtube clip for 10 minutes, with only wifi on, the z3v only lost 1% battery while my z3 lost 3-4% each time. But according to cnet (sorry I can't post links yet), the z3's battery have a slight edge over the z3v. Why is this happening?

Anyway, I downgrade my z3 to kitkat, rooted it, install setcpu, greenify, wakelocks detector, I also use disable service. Like before, all the phone functions are off when I don't need them, all unnecessary apps are deleted. However, my phone battery is still nowhere near the non-rooted z3v. I have a feeling that the battery drain faster below 85%, when it reached 15%, it loses 1% every 30 seconds. Moreover, the z3v only loses 1% over night (sometimes not at all) in airplane mode, while my z3 loses about 3-4%.

What do you guys think? Is this a problem with the phone's battery? Can my friend damaged the battery in his six months of using?
Sorry if my English is hard to understand, I tried my best to describe the problem

Please help. Freezing crashing galaxy s4 rooted.

Good evening folks. I hope I'm posting in the correct place.
First id like to start off thanking everyone for whatever help I can get. I know I've come to the place where I can get some help.
I apologize in advance If I'm lacking any info in my post.

I REALLY NEED HELP.:crying::crying::crying:

I have a rooted metro pcs galaxy s4
I have recently started having a really slow phone. Slow is a understatement actually.
Everything freezes up and I cant do anything with it. I DO have root access.
Anything I try to do such as enter the phone settings, an app or simply try make a call just seems to take a ton of processing power and eventually glitches or freezes up and force closes themselves.

It reminds me of a computer that doesn't have enough memory in it.
I installed some app in the play store that required root access called adjbrightness and ever since then my phone has been crazy slow with apps and services crashing.
I cannot be certain this app had anythinto do with my problem though.
I cant even make a call Its soooo bad.. GGRRrrrrrrrrr......:crying::crying::crying:

I installed one click kango root about a month ago and definitely haven't had any problems until about a week or so ago.
Since then iv tried everything. I'm pretty good with android phones too. I'm always helping ppl fix slow phones or computers.
I fear I may have force stopped or disabled a critical system function or service by accident.
Iv done the following already...
-Factory reset first then uninstalled the root.
-Ever since I unrooted today, I am unsure if I can or should or even could do a factory reset now. Because if I try to do it upon reboot, a warning states that installing custom roms can be damaging to my phone. Um.... Yikes!
-I formatted and removed my SD card.
-Prior to unrooting I did do factory reset several times without results.

I'm really freaking out.
I know this was something that could happen upon rooting as a risk I was taking.
I feel this issue was somehow due to the root access ultimately and that something in the rom (or what not) is glitching badly or some code is just missing.

- I never installed custom rom or messed with the rom that I know of.
-I never messed with any kernels or clocking methods because that's all too scary for me.
-I really didn't mess with things I didn't understand.
I rooted mainly to save battery and ditch some factory bloatware. I'm sure yall can relate.
Oh and I didn't download anything from porn sites, don't worry. HAHA.

Pleeeeeeese, please PLEASE, help lead me on the right path and I will be your best friend for ever.... I just haven't a clue what the issue could be. :crying::crying::crying:
Thank you so much for any and all help in advance.
THX!!!!! K++:confused:

S6 edge rooted or note 5 stock??

Here's my dilemma.... I have a s6 edge rooted and running a custom Rom. My friend purchased a note 5 but wants to trade straight up because he really wants root and feels the note 5 is a little too big. What would you do in this situation? Both phones are black and Verizon 64gb. I'm so torn because I know the note 5 won't see root anytime in the near future

HTC One (Rooted) Wont system Update (keeps asking to update after the update)

Hello,

So I been receiving a message on my HTC One M8 for a week now that there is a new Firmware update available (System Software update 4.20.631.3) and it downloads fine... I select Install... the phone reboots I see the installation process going on... then the phone comes back into the main menu like normal....... and it ask again that there is a new update if I want to install it (the same update)... every time I keep reinstalling the update, after the installation It'll ask to install it again. If I cancel the update... it'll ask me again later which is really starting to piss me off.

Phone: HTC One M8 (Rooted)
Android Version: 5.0.1
HTC Sense Version: 6.0
Software number: 4.20.631.2

Thanks for the help

Straight Talk Tethering, rooted phone

Just trying to use my rooted ST note 3 for a hotspot for my little tab4 tablet. Ran the file programs but only have 2 lines with tethering info and both are set to '0'. Neither one is the providers check gateway? Line. Just a tethering provision line and a tethering automation line. When I turn on my hotspot it just runs 'verifying' and never goes anywhere. Even tried to turn it on and check files while its accessing but still only two lines at '0' show. Thanks for reading this.

Device is not rooted message with stock recovery

In stock recovery if I click the version number under the advanced menu multiple times, I get the message "Device is not rooted". It then has yes as the only option, tapping it appears to do nothing and returns me to the advanced menu.

Can someone who has rooted then reflashed stock recovery see if any more options are available on a rooted device, or does it just say "Device is rooted"?

Note 5 Sounds for Rooted Users

It is just a little gift but here are the Note 5 audio files for you. The touch sound is much better than the stock Note 4 sound and there are some nice other ringtones and such as well. Just flash the file and it will add all of the Note 5 sounds to the rom. As always I provide a removal tool so if you want to revert back, flash the removal zip and everything will be restored like it was before. This includes any modified sounds you had before you flashed my file! The removal tool can only be used IF you flashed my file and is NOT a way to simply put the stock rom sounds back for another purpose.

Just flash the file in TWRP and enjoy!

H815 10f Rooted System.img

Thanks @smaberg for providing the firmware for H815's system.img

I've decided to do the hard work and create the rooted system image for you guys.

INSTRUCTIONS!

Quote:
instructions by TEAM_CodeFire modified by smaberg and modified again by me :)

1.) install all windows driver and adb, fastboot files, download and extract LG_Root for appropriate files http://d-h.st/uO8h

2.) Copy rootedsystem.img into the base of your internal storage.

3.) Enable ADB debugging on your device, Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information and tap build number until you are presented with "You are now a developer"
Exit back to Settings main screen. In Developer Options enable USB Debugging (Some devices require enabling PTP for debugging to work)


4.) In the root of LG_Root folder start a command prompt, Inside of LG_Root folder hold shift and right click a blank space you should see "Open command window here"


5.) Well that was easy , let's continue (Now that we have the files on our device we want to put our device is download mode)
Power off your device
When the device is powered off, hold volume up and insert a USB cable connected to the PC
Wait for the drivers to install

6.) Let's find which COM port our device is connected to
Double click ports.bat (This will give us the COM port in which our device is connected we are looking for the Diag port)
Let's run Send_Command.exe (It couldn't connect? Make sure you COM port number is correct it varies)
Code:
Send_Command.exe \.\COM3


7.) in command prompt Type "id" and press enter (no quotes).
You should get back some text starting with "uid=(0)root gid=(0)root". If not, press CTRL-C, and do step 9 again (the application sometimes doesn't respond on the first command).

8.) in command prompt type (install string for all variants by Marcosuper7
dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=55296 count=529920 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

9.) After a few minutes of sitting, you should get back a "#" prompt. This indicates the process has finished.
Type "LEAVE" (no quotes) and press enter. Your phone should reboot. DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

update rooted stock

Hi,

I'm using a SM-G900F with the stock ROM LRX21T.G900FXXU1BNL9. Kernel version is 3.4.0-3624618. The phone is rooted, carrier is Vodafone Germany.

I've been made aware that there are OTA-updates that I missed because Samsung's update service refuses to run on my phone ("There were unsupported changes made..."). There seem to be newer builds out there, e.g. G900FXXU1BOH4.

What is the easiest way to get those updates? Of course I could use Kies to do a factory reset and that would probably get me current, but I would have to reinstall everything, which I'm not exactly looking forward to.

Is there an easier way that does not involve a reinstall?

(A quick pointer to a howto would be fine, I just didn't find any myself.)

Regards

[Q] How to unlock Bootloader with rooted 4.4.2 stock rom

Hi guys! I have a xt 926 droid razr hd which I just managed to root but I can't find out a way to unlock it's bootloader. How can I do it? In fastboot it says version 10 and phone is locked.

Please help me to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery

SM-G900F Rooted, how to enable Private Mode?

Since i have rooted my SM-G900F using CF Auto Root, i haven't been able to enable Private Mode. Using Google didn't help at all, and flashing the zip file found here did nothing. Is there any method to be able to enable Private Mode WITHOUT unrooting or installing Xposed Installer (We all know it is too buggy on Lollipop)

Rooted - Can i get Mass Storage Mode?

I want to be able to connect my notebook to my 10.5" in mass storage mode, I know it has not been an option on Samsung for years, I want high level access to my internal and external storage, so i can run storage apps on my notebook.

I am on stock kitkat v4.4.2

Can i do this with root?

Thanks

John.

Security fixes for 5.0.1 rooted device

Hi all. I am wondering if there is a fix out there for the stagefright vulnerabilities for an Active that is already rooted? In another thread, not even sure if it was in an XDA forum or I saw it elsewhere, there were patches for S5 and S6 devices.

Thanks
