New method to Root? - Fascinate General

Just wondering if there will be a new method of rooting. Like the one click method over at android central which does not work since the DIO1 update. All the other methods require all kinds of command prompt.
Swyped via Fascinate.

the one click root method that has been there since the beginning is easy all you do is download the file unzip it and click start root. cant get much easier then that

Yeah, I can confirm that one click root still works for me on the DIO1 update.

If for some reason once click root isn't working on your PC, just do the manual adb method, its really the same thing.

Super one click root works for almost everything, including the fascinate

One click root didn't work for me, I could write a new one for you, but honestly the manual adb method is pretty easy you just copy and paste the commands.

I always get the same device not found for me.

Just Odin cwm, and flash superuser from chainsDD.

Flash CWM. Have root. Install su / busybox if necessary.

I'm sorry but that doesn't work for me.

I'm sorry but yes flashing clockwork with Odin does work for u. And unfortunately if using Odin doesn't work u need to stop and forget about root. Likely u don't have the drivers correctly installed. I would put money on it. Especially if u have windows7. Odin can And will work EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I'm sorry its just I rooted the X with no problem and now this is giving me a hard time. if your could just point me in the right direction that would be great. sorry for the trouble.
and i'm have vista

also when i plug my phone in it says the device drivers were installed successfully and are ready to be used...

1.download odin and odin files for the cwmkernel and recovery.
2.turn phone off, hold down the vol. down button only and plug phone into pc. this well put you into download mode.
3. open odin and click the pda button and flash the kernel then flash the recovery.
4.while in recovery either push your files or flash on of the roms with root and everything in it

If rooting via manual method is too complicated for you perhaps you shouldn't be rooting your phone. No offense but we have had a lot of people not knowing what they're doing and soft bricking their phones. They can't fix it because they don't know what they did.

works with dI01
I followed these instructions here to the dot:
h ttp://forum.androidcentral.com/fascinate-roms-hacks/33899-how-root.html
I got my phone just over a week ago, came with DI01 on it..
It took me three tries using the one click method, as I was getting device not found errors.. The time it worked, I had just rebooted PC and phone
When your phone restarts be sure to unlock it as fast as you can.. that seemed to help mine as well.

You can just manually do a adb install same as one click
Also make sure you have drivers installed

Hi,
Looking through TheUnlockr.com (Who has written about the program), a comment shows that it may work.
See the comment from s.bryan, it says about his HTC Legend on Bell, which has been unlocked running 2.1 update 1.
It says he encountered an error with almost 140mb free?
I believe this may be caused by the SU file, as going down the comment it says that it had already successfully been mounted as Read-Write memory, and then the program reverts back to Read-Only memory as the SU file couldn't be pushed onto the phone?
Hope this helps,
TS
As best I can tell, it does not work. I am running RUU 2.03.405, and it says that it rooted, but everything else fails. I installed TiB, but it does not acquire root privileges, even after a reboot. I am going to try one more time and then take a mulligan.

It didn't even appear to do that. The only part of the process that succeeds is running rageagainstthecage, which I don't think is enough for even soft root.
Ty for your answers, i guess il just skip trying SuperOneClick then..
I was thinking, it may work as soft root, after using downgrade guide from LAD forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725430

I did, and it didn't work.
I tried it on my Mytouch Slide and it did not work. Everything in superoneclick completed OK, but after my phone restarts, there is no root access icon in the app drawer. I also downloaded an app from the market that requires root and it didn't recognize my phone as being rooted.
I'm going to try it now, I was trying it but realised I didn't have .net 2.0+ installed... that's how lean my PC is! I haven't installed anything that requires .net and I had not even thought about installing or checking it before because I assumed it was on lol
Will report back in a few minutes, got 10 seconds before .net 2.0 is downloaded...
EDIT: the link from theunlockr is for 32BIT .net 2.0... now I have to download .net 64BIT doh!

[Q] Bad Rootedupdate? <Solved>

Hi all,
I've been trying to root my legend again (had to unroot it after the first time because I got stuck in a boot loop..)
But now I get stuck at the last step; flashing rootedupdate.zip
Let me first say that everything upto running step2-windows.bat went well, except for step2-windows.bat being unable to write rootedupdate.zip to my sdcard (I/O error).
So I manually copied it to the sd-card to be able to flash it.
However, it now gives me an error, saying
"E: Can't open /sdcard/rootedupdate.zip (bad)"
Does anyone recognize this or know what might cause this? I've tried different rootedupdate.zips, from different locations, but keep getting the same error.
Try download any other rooted rom.. just flash the other rom instead..

Where to find another rooted rom then?
I've already tried different rootedupdate.zip files, since that's the rooted rom always used in guides.
Just flash CM or B or any other from dev forum.

I'm trying to do so now, but I now get stuck at the second step itself. It gives me the following output in my command line;
Code:
Legend Root Step 2
Pushing required files to device...
error: protocol fault (no status)
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
Pushing update file to device sdcard - this may take a few minutes...
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
To give some more details;
- HBOOT 1.01
- Android 1.31 is running
- Goldcard succesfully created (even re-did this to be sure)
- Step 1 completed succesfully (as far as I can see)
Does anyone know how to solve this?

[How to] Root and flash Custom Roms

This thread is just to direct all the noobs into the right direction, related to root and flash new roms in the Desire HD.
[*]Rooting and reverting to stock
Due to the retirement of the Hack Kit, rooting methods have been reduced to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500
or if you are skilled in using adb and fastboot commands:
http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?cat=6
If you are still stuck and want to revert your phone back to out of the box, then use Marsdta's Guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396229
or Gene Poole's Tool (that will revert also S-OFF):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507
[*]Flashing a Custom Rom
To flash a custom rom you need to be rooted and S-OFF (if u used the Hack Kit) or have and unlocked bootloader using HTCDEV tool (wich I don't suggest)
Once u are S-OFF and have CWM or some other custom recovery installed (I personally prefer 4ext) you have to follow these steps (read the dev's thread about particularities. This is just a general guide on how to do it):
Download the custom rom .zip file and put it in your sdcard. Make sure that u check md5sum first just to avoid bootloops.
Reboot phone in recovery. There are many ways to do that, the first can be using Rom Manager (I don't suggest using it for anything else but that) and choosing reboot in recovery option. The second way is to boot in bootloader (press power down and reboot choosing hboot) or just turn phone off and power it up pressing power and volume down. And the last is to use adb commands. Plug the phone as charge only with usb debugging on, open a cmd as admin or terminal as root in your PC and then type adb reboot recovery.
Once in recovery, you need to do a full wipe (wipe data / factory reset and wipe cache + dalvik cache). You can also format some other partitions such as data and system, but the full wipe will work.
When full wipe is finished, go to flash zip from sdcard option, choose zip file and then flash that file.
Reboot the phone once it has finished flashing and wait for the device to fully reboot. The first boot will take a while (probably longer than usual) so don't get scared.
If you flashed a CM based rom, you need to flash google apps separately as well, so find the gapps file corresponding to your rom and flash it in the same manner as above described.
Trouble Shooting
Bootloops: If your phone repeats over and over the bootanimation, don't panic, you are not bricked. Something must have gotten wrong but you can reboot in recovery and re flash the rom as previously described. If bootloop is still there, then try downloading the zip again or choose a diffrent rom.
Factory Reset: If you factory reset the phone and you are not stock, then the phone won't have a rom...you will get stuck in the splash screen (white screen with the green HTC). Just do as described above, get a rom to the sdcard and then flash it. You are not bricked, you are just stuck
Well, this was just to try to point you in the right direction. If you think that I missed something, feel free to tell me and will add it to the OP.....Salud! :good:

As always, you can dirty flash (only wipe cache and dalvik), but if you run into problems do a full wipe (system, data, and cache) before reporting any bugs.

Which Kernel is this using ?
Respect to you sir thanks very much!!!
Does not boot, freezes at Nvidia logo. Tried clearing cache, restoring factory settings, deleting data, nothing worked.

I've enabled adb by default if you know how could you take a logcat? Most of the time it refuses to leave the bootlogo because surfaceflinger can't aquire the screen which means it failed. Could be a missing file.
If no luck I can help this everning and take a logcat really busy at the moment

The stock kernel from nvidia with no modification
Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't this be in the development section?

I believe development, not original
I'm backing up my stock rom now. I'll flash this and see what I can get.
---
I can't get adb to show anything and I can't get the device to show up on my pc. It is stuck before the boot animation, I don't think it has booted far enough for me to get anything.
This will not go into development section because I've found that there are many developers who join xda just because they have the device and don't have 10 post and can't post there yet. I like to allow a range of users to share info. With that in mind it's the weekend and I have time to work on this all day today till Monday
Priority one is get adb working I apparently uploaded the wrong build
Ok guys I may have did the dumbest thing , but I'm not sure I never actually learned what the hardware was ro.hardware. I assumed it was ardbeg but it could possible be
ardbeg . ardbeg_sata . laguna , norrin , or tn8 you can find this from terminal emulator or adb shell typing getprop ro.hardware
It can also be achieved via commandline adb shell cat proc/cmdline
On boot on the init checks ro.hardware and if it isn't found it won't load fstab.ro.hardware and nothing will mount . None of the *.ro.hardware.rc scripts will run. I figured this out when none of my attempts for touch in recovery worked or adb. I have reason to believe it's tn8 and ardbeg is generic for all versions
Essentially you have a tegra note 8 I assume that's what tn8 means please let me know what you find

IMPORTANT: Read the ENTIRE instructions set before starting, make sure you know what you are getting into. I have been as straight forward as possible with my instructions to assist noobs with the procedure.
Mission Statement
The purpose of this post is to combine the following 4 guides, in an easy to read manner to help people get from a stock Note 4 Version running 6.0.1 to a fully rooted Note 4 running CM13.0
Guides Referenced and Summarized:
[Guide] A noob's guide to Perm Root & TWRP on Verizon Note 4 Retail 5.1.1 (BPA1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/guide-noobs-guide-to-perm-root-twrp-t3360883

UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod 13.0 Builds for Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910V) (grab newest from top)
Xposed framework for ARM SDK 23 (NOTE: Grab both the xposed23.zip and XposedInstaller****.apk)
XPosed is OPTIONAL, but there are a lot of rooted apps that use the XPosed framework to get more control over your phone. Such as hiding mock locations for example.
NOTE: Internet is REQUIRED for KingRoot to function (grants temporary root, so ADP commands can be executed to unlock bootloader), at one point WiFi will NOT function but internet is still required. So a valid SIM with internet is required (Verizon will definitely work, others might[/] work)
NOTE: The entire installation will take an estimated 1-2 hours. (Not including time spent downloading) All steps are MANDATORY, do not SKIP anything....You've been warned
Install eMMC Brickbug Check (free) on your phone, and RUN IT. Your CID MUST start with 15. If it doesn't I can't help you, and this guide is not for you.
Install the Samsung USB drivers on your windows PC
Backup your phone, if you don't know how.....google it...And learn how, you will want to backup frequently. Every time you get to a point you can boot up into Android, backup...it's safer for you...I will not remind you again, this is on your head.
Disable Encryption on your phone, both the SD card and Device
Disable Samsung Phone Lockout. YOU MUST DO THIS OR ELSE!!!! (Settings > Security > Reactivation Lock)
Do 2 factory resets on your phone, one after another (hold volume up, home button, power when starting to enter recovery mode where you can reset phone). Not required but if you don't, you'll spend an extra hour or two doing this because Kingroot will crash/fail more often.
Boot up your phone in Download Mode (hold volume down, home button, power)
Open Odin3, Click the AP button and select the file N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_VZW.tar.md5, once it checks it, goto options and make sure the Re-Partition is NOT selected. Now click start to flash and downgrade to Android 5.1.1.
Turn on your phone, and let it boot up.
Skip everything possible when setting up your phone. Don't even put in a google account, not necessary
Goto Setings and set the following
Settings > Security > Reactivation Lock = Disabled (EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, VERIFY)
Settings > Security > Unkown Sources = Enabled
Settings > Developer Options > USB debugging = Enabled
Developer options are unlocked by going to Settings > About Phone. Find "Build Number", and start clicking it till you get a message that Developer Options have been unlocked (about 10 clicks I believe, never counted).
Settings > Developer Options > Verify App via USB = Enabled (should be by default, CHECK)
Settings > Lock Screen = None
Settings > Display > Turn off Display = 10 Minutes
Plug your phone into your computer via USB, copy the NewKingroot****.apk to your download directory (samsung-sm-N910V\Phone\Download)
Install ADB onto your Windows PC. Select an easy directory such as c:\ADB
Copy the following file directly into the ADB directory
samsung_unlock_n4-fix
Open up command line interface. Hold windows key & press R key for run, type in "cmd" press enter. Will open a terminal window for you. Type the following commands:
cd\
cd adb (or whatever you named your directory where you installed ADB)
adb devices
This should return a list of devices you have connected, something like:
Code:
List of devices attached
SerialNum device
If no devices are displayed, check you have the Samsung USB drivers installed properly.
Type the following command
adb push samsung_unlock_n4-fix /data/local/tmp/
Got an error? check your spelling (or copy/paste from me), check you put the file into the ADB directory (not just a link), your phone must be on and screen not locked and check you have usb debugging enabled.
BTW: Do NOT CLOSE the window unless I instruct you to!
Install Kingroot on your phone, which you previously moved into your downloads folder, you can find it via My Files app that comes with phone.
Now run KingRoot. Flip down to the bottom and click "Try It", it will run some quick test then give you a button to try to root your phone.
Wait...Wait...Do not worry if your phone restarts, it will go back into KingRoot automatically on reboot. Just sit back and wait, it may fail multiple times and you may have to re-run Kingroot. Just keep trying . Once it succeeds you must do the following IMMEDIATELY AND AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. Kingroot is HIGHLY UNSTABLE.
On the windows PC, back in the command window you left open. Start Typing.
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp/
chmod 777 samsung_unlock_n4-fix
chown root.root samsung_unlock_n4-fix
./samsung_unlock_n4-fix
After the last command it may prompt you to type yes, do so immediately. it won't write on the screen but type yes anyway for it to continue. Once it's done it should automatically start to reboot your phone. Unplug it and pull the battery, wait 5 seconds, put battery back in and plug the phone back in.
This was the initial setup for unlocking your bootloader, you now have to run it AGAIN so turn your phone back on. Repeat steps 22-24, after the 2nd time PULL OUT YOUR SD CARD BEFORE TURNING ON YOUR PHONE
Congratulations you now have an unlocked bootloader, you can close the command window on your PC.
The SD card has a restore point for your phone prior to removing your bootlock. Save it if you want, or plug into your phone and format the 18mb partition you are able to. You must format it on a PC before you can use it again in a phone!!!! Will shut your phone off immediately if you put the SD in without formatting that 18mb partition.
Now reboot your phone into download mode (hold volume down, home and power buttons when turning on)
Open Odin App on your PC, Click the "AP" button and select the file twrp-3.0.2-0-trltevzw.tar.md5 (which you downloaded earlier). Once it does it's check, verify that re-partition is NOT selected in options. Now click start to flash twrp bootloader.
Your phone will restart, re-enter download mode. If you missed it pull cable/battery and try again.
Now extract and flash N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVRU2CPD1_FullFirmware.tar.md5 via Odin, same as you did with twrp. VERIFY THAT RE-PARTITION IS NOT SELECTED IN OPTIONS.
Boot up in recovery mode (hold volume up, home and power when turning on) (note: no longer TWRP since you flashed firmware, will look different again)
"Wipe data/factory reset ", then reboot your phone.
Now repeat steps 9-12 (NewKingRoot should still be in your downloads, but verify anyway) (NOTICE: wifi will NOT work with the CPD1 firmware, but Verizon internet should in case you need internet for some reason, wifi will restore later in guide - Other internet from other providers MIGHT work with proper APN settings)
Install a clean SD card into the phone.
Now repeat steps 15-25. This time you should only need to run the samsung_unlock_n4-fix file once to break your boot. This is what it typically says on successful bootloader unlock: (if you got this message, pull the battery, cable and SD card.)

Do you understand the implications of these warnings?
(Yes/No)
[+] CID at boot time is/was: 150100523231384d4100657e54fc1200
[+] dev CID matching, proceeding to unlock
[+] backing up loaders, this will take a few minutes
[+] loaders successfully backed up
[+] success! powering off device, hopefully its not bricked!
Now boot back into download mode
Flash TWRP via Odin again (I'm summarizing greatly now, as you should by now understand this kind of shorthand)
Ok, now boot up into TWRP recovery mode (vol up, home, power)
Navigate through TWRP menus to create a Backup. Click Backup Button, and swipe to create backup. (this is just so that it creates the directory structure on your phone)
Click the Reboot System button, skip all the setup you can again. (DO NOT INSTALL SUPERSU!!! will cause bootloop)
Extract the "JasmineROM_v7.0_N910VVRU2CPF3.7z" file it will create a directory called "JasmineROM_v7.0_N910VVRU2CPF3".
Plug USB into phone and to computer. Copy the JasmineROM_v7.0_N910VVRU2CPF3 folder into \Internal storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\Phone SN\
Reboot into TWRP recovery
Click the Restore button (DONT start the restore yet!!!), and check that your JasmineROM is listed as a recovery option. (don't recover YET) If it's not there you copied it into the wrong directy, try again before proceeding.
Go back to the main menu, Click the Wipe button. Click the 'Advanced Wipe' button, and wipe the following cache/dalvik/system/data
Go back to Restore (from 2 steps ago) and run the JasmineROM_v7.0_N910VVRU2CPF3 recovery, return to main menu afterwards
Go to wipe, and wipe the cache/dalvik only this time.
Reboot into download mode
Flash the N910VVRU2CPF3_PartialFirmware_PatechedKernel.tar.m d5.7z file via Odin
Reboot the system, this will take a LONG TIME. WAIT for it. (if reboot takes >10 min, pull battery and restart)
Once it boots up, skip all the setup again. Copy the CM13, Gapps and XPosed (both zip and apk) to your downloads. Don't unzip anything, not necessary.
Now reboot into recovery go to WIPE and do a factory reset by swiping.
Then goto Install (still in recovery) and install CM13, then Install Gapps.
Reboot your phone, this time you are setting up properly reboot will take a while to optimize your apps depending on Gapps version used. So do all your setup as you want your phone setup. Once that's done, restart the phone in recovery. (if reboot takes > 5 min, pull battery and restart)
Install via TWRP the XPossed.zip file.
Reboot your phone, once on. Navigate via My Files, to downloads and install XPosed.apk
CONGRATULATIONS. You now have a fully Unlocked, Rooted Note 4 Verizon with CryanogenMod 13.0 installed and XPosed Installed.
Suggested Apps
Kernel Auditor [ROOT], will allow you to adjust kernel settings. Such as CPU clock speeds and thermal throttling, if your phone is too hot.
Note: About ROOT[/], you will have root once you finish this guide. But it is disabled by default, you can enable root in developer options (no reboot required when changing). Unlock your developer options again, and scroll down you will see an option to enable/disable root. This allows you to keep turn off during normal use, and only enable it when you need to install an app that requires root. You can always just leave it on all the time, that is your choice.
Note: Some apps on Google PlayStore will become unavailable due to incompatibility (according to google, HA). Such as YouTube Music, you will no longer be able to install it through the store. But you can install it by using an APK site, such as APK Downloader. On this site you find the app you want on play.google.com, copy the HTTP link and put it into the APK Downloader and it will generate a direct download link to the APK file. Copy onto your phone and sideload (ie. install) through file explorer. I don't endorse them, they are just one of many places you can get APK files.

Another success story :good:
Added note about how root works in CM 13.0
Corrected Step 34

You know it wasn't so much that it annoyed me it's that there was no concrete guide telling me what to do. It's a thread here, a post there to do a specific thing but they aren't coordinated in a logical way for users to easily find.
Alright ignore what I said before this edit, I just skipped a step.
I must say though, steps 41-43 are very confusing. What is the ROM folder?

The ROM folder I'm referring too is the folder inside the Jasmine zip file. I only reference it so people wouldn't try to take just the files inside the folder which is inside the zip file. Lol yea that's confusing....I'll think about how to rewrite those and make adjustments in a couple hours to make it clearer.
But basically when you extract the Jasmine zip file it creates a folder with files in it. Copy the whole folder not just the files to where it makes your recovery folders.

Okay, awesome. Also I think the TWRP part could be explained a little clearer.
Other than that, 100%
oh also, at the start I would say to read the entire thing before starting, and give a warning that downloads will take like 4 hrs

Lol yea, didn't think to mention reading the whole thing first. To me that's a given I always read everything before starting. I'll add a note to read everything.
As to download time, well it is like what 12 gigs in total? Basically 4 full versions of the Android OS at 2 gigs reach plus all the extras.
I'll try to see if I can't explain the twrp recovery of Jasmine better. Only reason you need to do Jasmine is for the 6.0.1 device drivers (such as modem).

I've modified the guide appropriately, to resolve all of the issues (I think) you mentioned. And to make some steps easier to understand and follow.
I also added a recommended app on the bottom, and mentioned a site you can use to get PlayStore apps which will now list as incompatible with our phones.
Finally, question: Did you succeed using this Guide? Just curious if everything is working as expected after following my guide. I wrote the thing from memory, after spending 3 days rooting my phone and figuring everything out from various sources. Hopefully this saves people some time where they don't have to piece a dozen sources together to figure out how to do it. I only mentioned the main 4 I referenced, but there were other lessons learned from various places that aren't covered in those posts.

I was quite successful with the root. Even though I messed up a few times (skipping steps), it all works out and now it's working lovely. It only took an hour of actual work, plus a lot of download time because of slow hosts.
Thanks so much for the guide, the only issue was with the slow hosts, and that's hardly your fault. I do wonder if maybe setting up a torrent of the heavier files might help though.

I was quite successful with the root. Even though I messed up a few times (skipping steps), it all works out and now it's working lovely. It only took an hour of actual work, plus a lot of download time because of slow hosts.
Thanks so much for the guide, the only issue was with the slow hosts, and that's hardly your fault. I do wonder if maybe setting up a torrent of the heavier files might help though.

An hour..........I spent 2 hours watching kingroot try and root my damb phone, LOL because I didn't wipe before trying to get temporary root the first time you use it (before I read in a post that wiping twice will make it MUCH more successful). Took me 10+ hours of actual work to get my phone rooted and CM 13.0 setup, because I didn't have steps to follow, LMAO. Made it up as I went.
As to the Torrent, I'd be the only one sharing and my upload speeds are not that great. maybe 500 kbps, I live in a rural area. At least my download speed is 40 mbps.
And it is hellofa tedious root for the Note 4, I haven't seen any other phone as crazy tedious to root.
Edit: Mind if I add a 'success story' section and add you to it?

Oh of course, go ahead and add me.
Also, if you do end up making a torrent, i'd be happy to help seed at least for a while. I have pretty good upload and no data caps or anything so it would probably help a bit (anything is faster than that 100 kbps that xda was giving)
You called N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_VZW.zip, "N910VVRU2BPA1 Full Firmware". Which kinda got me confused, (maybe its just me trying to do this at 1 am >_>) but might want to edit that. Other then that Iv'e had a pretty easy time following this guide. Thanks! (still doing it fyi, I got an infinite bootloop, so figured I messed up somewhere after reflashing TWRP, now im starting from scratch.)
I have a Very weird problem , I followed your instructions correctly i was on step 25 did exactly what you said pulled the unpluged the USB and pulled the battery and and waited 5 seconds and put the battery back in and rebooted the phone only problem is now it is stuck in a boot loop of the image Samsung galaxy note 4 and just keeps rebooting . I haved tryed doing a factory reset and wiping cache and reinstalling 5.1..1 via odin and it is still doing the boot loop i am not sure what i did wrong or what to do . I know its not hard brick because i can get into recovery and download but just wont boot the past the Samsung not 4 logo

Was this after the first time you inputted the adb commands our second? Make sure you pull the SD card after the second time, as it will cause reboots after the second time until you reformat the SD card on your PC. Size will be wrong on PC but size will fix when you reformat the SD card a second time on your phone.
Edit it creates like 20 partitions on the ad card when you do adb, it creates a backup of your phone os.
