[Q] update via port-a-droid ultimate - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

hey guys, how can I update a nand rom via sd port-a-droid? just unpack the .zip rom in root folder and reboot?

I'm not sure about how port-a-droid works, but I guess it creates a data.img for the 'Internal storage' right? If so, then just port the updated ROM and then copy over the data.img and all your data should be saved

[Q] Extract sound files from NAND rom?

is there any way to extract the sound files from a NAND rom? other than flashing it to your phone, and copying and pasting on the phone itself to the SD card, then to the computer?
Hi.
Try un-zipping the ROM.
Go to \system\media\audio
Enjoy
the contents of the unzip file doesn't have that in it for a nand build, all it has is the install.exe and a few other system files.

I have installed Nandroid 2.3 thru clockworkmod recovery 2 month ago.

1. You can back up via CWM > back up and restore > back up
2.The zip file is needed for the installation. You can delete it, but the other files - NO.
3.The folder of previos rom - if you don't need it ... delete it to. She was for other rom. Now your rom is running from NAND.

[Q] NAND backup restore after NativeSD installation

Hi everybody,
I have installed a NativeSD Rom and at the moment I have nothing on the NAND. I am trying to install the backup of my old NAND ROM on the NAND again, but when I choose the right backup file from MAGLDR Ad Recovery / install zip from sdcard / choose zip from sdcard, the system says: "CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6 / No files found"!!!
I've checked the backup file and it has all the files (about 695MB)...
I have just tried to choose the NativeSD ROM file which I also have on the SDcard and the system accept it (of course I break the install process in this case)!
What I'm doing wrong? I'm just trying to restore the old ROM to NAND, so it should not interract with the NativeSD ROM...
Best regards,
Conrad

Hi to you,
I thought restoring backups had nothing to do with "install zip from sdcard"? Why are you going there?
*Re-reads your post again and tries to find another meaning to what you said*
Edit:
Hydroxyl, NOW I understand! You are doing it wrong
In order to restore a backup, the backup must be located in "/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/" (That's for android 4.1.2 and earlier, don't know about 4.2). And you don't install it like any ROM.zip file. From the main menu of CWM, go to "Backup/Restore" .. then Restore .. then choose your backup. (provided it's in the aforementioned location).

[Q] Moiving rom backup to root SYSTEM folder

Hi.
As we all know our I-9505 have quite large space for system files (and bloatware).
After installing other roms (in my case PAC rom - Android 4.3.1) we have loads of space free there. With PAC i have 2.39GB
Because i have rom backup all the time on internal memory it's it takes about 1,7GB space.
And now the idea:
Create folder '000' in root system folder, move a backup there and any time you wish to recover just copy it back to clockworkmod folder.
Tried that with no sucess as esExplorer and TotalCommander can't mount root system folder as read/write.
Anyone knows is that possible ? That could save us some nice space.
----------please notice----------
I know that this way you can't recover backup before you copy it to clockworkmod mod but i always have copy of backup on PC for any bad situation and i can copy it back to phone thru clockworkmod recovery mouting USB or in download mode.
