Hi, im trying to port Oxygen from U8800 to U8800-51, but before i flash the zip (with CWM for U8800pro) i have a question about the cust_backup
I have a backup of cust_backup/image/* , what that means, if my port doesnt work, can i copy all the files back to cust_backup/image/ and everything is gonna be like before the flash?
i've created a nandroid backup too with CWM (but i think it might not be usable due to the recovery (designed for U8800pro).
Hope someone can help me to clarify this question.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english (im from Chile, and my born language is Spanish).
Best regards!
Unless the pro model have some difference from the normal, yes you can(if you can boot to bootloader pink mode)
But if you prepare to flash a custom rom, this means that you' ll replace system, and maybe boot.img. So probably you will not need to use the cust_backup image. If rom doesn' t boot you can go to recovery end restore the nanroid backup.
A backup of that folder is a good thing though.

I just install ginger bread leak is there any way to restore back to factory setting I did try the PD15IMG but it say that one was old so it did not flash please help thank you very much for your time and sorry for my english
Did you make nandroid backup? If not then there are few things you can do to recover. As I am not sure which rom you had I am guessing stock tmo rom just rooted? In that case you can go to dev section and download nandroid or stock flashable zip which you can install via CWMR.
Now I am not sure how you installed the GB Leak rom as we do have flashable but I am guessing you used the PD15IMG.zip leaked that contained the radio/rom? I don't know why people even do these things. All you had to do was do a complete system wipe (/data; /system) and flash the GB Leak though CWMR. Now you have a new bootloader?
I solved the problem with downgrade that I was search in here thank you verymuch
Hi guys. I tried to flash b518 without changing to the official partition.

I want to make a backup of the original kernel that came with my G2 D802 32GB just in case I need it in the future if I mess up something.
I read that flashify can make a backup of the kernel, but also read this program can brick the G2.
Any other ways to backup the kernel of my original stock LG rom?
And how to restore it in the future if I need to do so?
Thanks a lot!

If you're rooted and have flashed twrp recovery all you have to do is back up the boot partition then you have a back up all you need to do is if you want it back just boot into recovery and restore the boot partition it's not really having a flashable kernel zip but it's one way

¡Perfect! ¡Thanks a lot! :good:
EDIT:
Two questions though.
Using that method, if I restore the boot then I would lose my custom recovery right?
Also, I've read that doing backups through TWRP or CWM doesn't backup the kernel installed at that moment. Is this true? Because if it's true then doing that backup wouldn't make a backup of the kernel.
Thanks!

First question the answer is no you won't lose your recovery and to answer the second question I know with twrp it does back up the kernel I do it with every custom ROM I flash I'll back up its kernel before I install a custom one just so i have it and decide to go back to it now with cwm I'm not sure I only used cwm for a short period of time and wasn't happy with it I prefer twrp
Hy,
I have two i9505, I read a lot and installed CWM using Heimdall, I flashed SuperSU to gain root, and made a backup. It labeled the backup with an outdated 1970 name...
I took the SD card out to copy the SD backup, but could find it even when searching for hidden folder.
I put back the SD card in my device, and booted to CWM, the backup was available for a restore process. So before trying any flash I tried out a restore process, but ended up with a stuck in boot. Boot to CWM and bootloader being still available, I managed to flash a workable ROM, but I can't restore to my initial ROM.
Now, I'd like to be able to restore my device to it's initial ROM.
I believe that somehow, the backup I made is corrupted.
As I have another identical i9505 I haven't tempered with yet, I guess I could install CWM (or other custom recovery) to make a backup of the ROM, extract the backup of the ROM from the SD and use it to 'clone' my second device ROM to this one.
But I don't wan't to make any mistake here, so I'd apreciate some help, first to understand where CWM put the backup .tar.
Another solution is to get some stock ROM I can flash. As anyway I don't have any warranty on the device I don't care to restore to exact initial state, I just want to be able to get back to some stock ROM.
sammobile.com/firmwares is the place to go if you want a stock ROM. Download whichever ROM you want, then use Heimdall to flash it, and you should then be returned to stock. For best results, the ROM you download should have no carrier branding, but any of them should work.
I though I would have to do something like that from reading the unroot guide. Also, as I use Heimdall to flash (I have a linuxBox), I will use this guide in french as a guideline.
I noticed that the command line they recommend don't flash sbl1. I don't know if it is required.
Thank you anyway for confirming that.
Hello guys, first of all im using a Huawei P8 Lite ALE-21 [EU] , i wanted to hard reset my phone through TWRP and i accidentaly deleted everything!
Also in the log/terminal thing in TWRP i get messages that it can't mounth system, /data and storage.
I Tried to download a rom but it failed, can someone please help me? Im not good at this stuff and i need my phone to be fixed ASAP because i need it!
PS: I Know i shouldn't press buttons i don't know what they do but yeah... Lesson learned.
PS 2 : I Can get into recovery mode and use ADB.
EDIT: I fixed it by pushing the stock rom into my storage and then installed it via TWRP, glad i had twrp and usb debugging enabled.
Your things you've deleted are gone, there is no way to get them back.
In order to get the phone boot up again follow these:
Take a look at THIS page, it will tell you how to extract the UPDATE.APP to individual pieces that can be flashed via fastboot.
Use your original ROM's UPDATE.APP file, to make sure it'll work.
I guess you'll still want to use TWRP, then leave out the RECOVERY.IMG from the extraction, and only flash BOOT, CUST and SYSTEM.
You can learn how to do the flashing properly HERE.
If you have any more question, make sure to ask them
