Just wondering if anyone who's flashing and rooting could please do a backup and upload it somewhere. Myself and a couple others have accidentally partitioned our internal SD incorrectly causing a catastrophic touch screen issue.
I'm hoping it'll have the properly partitioned SD storage because I'm having difficulty doing it manually. If someone could upload this it'd be hugely appreciated!!!
BUMP!!!
Can anyone please provide me with a Nandroid backup using Tenfar's recovery??? I can throw some money once I get my Paypal sorted out. I'm desperate, fellas!
Can someone please help? I'd like to try anything I can to get my phone working this weekend. It's been an entire week without my Atrix.

Im relatively new to android...is this backup you are speaking about a TB backup. Or what method of backup are you looking for?

You actually need to be rooted and have Tenfar's custom Recovery menu. In there it has an option to do a Backup.
If you're new it may be too engaging but I appreciate the offer nonetheless. If you could help, it'd be great. If it's too much trouble, I thank you anyway!
yeah what does the nandroid backup...back.. up? the apps?
What I'm HOPING and PRAYING for is that it'll also copy something in the internal SD which was partitioned due to my stupidity. dev/block/mmcblk0p18 is what that is in particular.
I tried manually formatting and partitioning it but I'm unable to do so. Fastboot freezes and Early USB Enumeration goes by so quickly I can't run the commands that I need through ADB. And I don't even know if that'll work because I made a script that executes the commands and I get weird errors. I'm far from an expert and monkeyed around too deeply where I shouldn't have.
About 4-5 others are reporting the same problem. The ****ty thing is that I'm in Canada and it'd be a huge pain to send it to Motorola. They're giving me a lot of grief and I've had to put up a big fight. Waiting to see if they'll send an RMA because I may need to send it in. When I get it back I might sell it and buy a Bell Atrix because I live in Canada and if something bad happens, it'll be easier to send to Bell or Motorola Canada.
from what i understand you have to have an unlocked bootloader to backup or restore using a nandroid backub
Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology then.. just need a backup from Tenfar's customer Recovery. I don't even know if it'll work but I'm out of ideas.
I'm at least thankful that the Xperia X10's bootloader was cracked. I forgot to send a replacement back to Rogers and I phoned them asking if I could use it for now. They thankfully said yes because they forgot to charge me for it lol... it's got some really great ROMs, but looking at this beautiful, mangled Atrix makes baby Jesus cry!
i can do that but im wondering why you dont try SBF file?? should work better than Backup

i was just wondering the same thing... it also be more stable as nandroid restore are not so good on some phones and im guessing especially on a locked bootloader one.
also a nandroid backup would also restore some else's settings and information on your device....

I've already tried the SBF files but it doesn't do anything to the internal SD. I need an actual backup because the user settings are exactly what I'm looking for. Normally you'd want a fresh flash from stock but I hope you now understand why I'm asking this constantly.
Flashing to stock was naturally my first step. Unfortunately it had failed. About 5 others reporting the same problem.

What maybe you could do is? go into tenfars cwm recovery go to mounts and storage and format the internal sdcard and system and boot and data. This is safe as far as I know and me and tenfar have both done this.I literally formatted every single thing in the option menu. just to see if I could do it. Which was stupid but I was curious and used to do that before I installed new roms on my old backflip all the time! Also might wanna do a factory reset through cwm and clear dalvik cahe as well for good measure. Now after you format all that. reboot system which will send you in a boot loop/wont boot past first screen. Pull the battery and unplug usb cable from charger. Then reboot and enter rsdlite mode by holding volume up and the power button. Now just flash your 4.1.26 sbf file through rsdlite 5.0
As long as you flash back to retail 4.1.26 afterwords using rsdlite 5.0 that should put everything right! As I have done this and my phone is working normal.
I better put one of them warnings here though anyway lol

I've got nothing to lose. It's easy enough to recover from soft-brick. I'll give it a shot right now. Wish me luck!

mmm weird..
IMO if sbf dont help i really doubt a recovery will....
perhaps i highly recommend if someone do this, create a new account of gmail and flash a sbf file since the OP will have all sensitive data as email,contacts and so on as previous post say

That won't work either. I have reasons for wanting a backup versus a new SBF flash as stated multiple times.

I was not aware of this and was so focused on correcting the challenge that this was a complete oversight. On second thought, I don't want to compromise anyone's security.
I had in mind a fresh backup, preferably for AT&T's 1.2.6 SBF but it's a bit of trouble and a lot of space. I retract my request due to the amount of work involved and that I don't want to compromise anyone's security in case they don't clear their user details, etc.
Thanks for pointing that out, knigitz. I think ADB access in the Recovery is our best bet. Crossing my fingers.

Hey guys,
Decided i want to flash the franco kernel on my N4 which is currently completely unrooted and stock. So i need to unlock the bootloader, root and install a custom recovery before i can do anything. Just a couple quick questions first.
- When i unlock the bootloader, will i lose absolutely everything? Including photos, videos etc?
If so, does this also mean that my titanium backup file will be deleted too? - Im guessing ill have to move this file onto my PC first to avoid losing my backup.
I did have another question too... hmm maybe ill remember in a bit. But yeah, any clarification with the above would be awesome.
Cheers guys! Im not new to this, ive rooted my N1 and SGS2 in the past but they both had SD's!
Cheers, Jim.

i believe franco kernel is only flashable via fastboot or adb
When you unlock your boot loader it will wipe everything including pictures and videos.As for titanium backup it should restore with your Google account when you set your phone back up again.

Ill worry about flashing franco kernel when i get to it. For now i just want to unlock the bootloader and get root.
When it comes to flashing the franco kernel ill probably just download the franco app from the app store. You can flash using that i believe?

Yes you can flash using the Franco app providing you have a custom recovery
everything in your storage will be deleted. just move everything to your computer before unlocking the bootloader, then move it back after.
Yes everything is wiped.. but you can also back up all your important things anyway onto your pc and just copy them back onto your phone when you have finished.
Awesome. Cheers guys.
Plan on using clockworkmod recovery as ive used this before on all my other devices.
If i have any more problems ill let you know on here.

Yes, everything will be wiped from the device. Including the internal SD Card. And I also recommend using TWRP, installable via Goo Manager app.

All done. No problems at all. Just restoring everything now.
Now to resist the urge to flash a custom ROM. What do people tend to run these days? I want something that looks as close to stock as possible but improves speed and performance? Cyanogenmod still a good shout?

All of the Roms are pretty good and plenty fast. All of the Roms are fast , but if you like to change your app DPI and also get full screen mode with PIE controls then I suggest paranoid android.
Edit:You don't have to use a custom ROM if you don't want the those features, your kernel will decide how fast your device is. If you want you can stay on stock with Franco kernel and get great battery life and speed.
Hmm ill stick with stock on franco kernel for a while and see how it goes. No doubt ill give in eventually and try something new.
Currently having issues using Clockworkmod Carbon backup/restore app. I used this to backup all my apps/data before iunlocked my bootloader (I would normally use Titanium but that required root).
So i backed everything up. Took the backup file called 'Carbon' from my phone and placed it onto my PC desktop.
Unlocked bootloader, rooted, flashed CWM recovery, rebooted. All good!
Redownloaded the carbon app. Placed the backup folder from my PC onto the phone into the new 'Carbon' folder created when the app launches for the first time. I go to restore my apps and it says 'No backups were found on your internal storage'. Even though i just put them there! Its like the app is no longer looking in the same place to find the backup folder.
Its not my apps im annoyed about so much, but mostly my user data and sms messages and stuff.
Anyone have a fix for this?
Cheers

I have one idea of my own.. the device id has probably changed. TitaniumBackup usually fixes this on my N4 if I reinstall but i didn't have this on my N7 as it was not rooted.
Could that be it? If so, how can it be changed .. (and how do you know what it was)?
I managed to hard-bricked my Nexus 6P and now my phone won't turn on at all. I already tried everything to make sure it's not a soft-brick so that doesn't have to be asked.
I found this article: wwwDOTdroidsavvyDOTcom/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/ (unfortunately I can't post links so please replace the DOT with .) stating that I can unbrick it by using some tools. Unfortunately I need a full eMMc backup from someone with a factory-resetted Nexus 6p.
I wanted to ask if someone can do this huge favor and upload a backup of their eMMc somewhere. I would be very thankful for that!
To do so, it has to be a rooted factory-resetted Nexus 6P (although you can try without a factory-reset). These commands have to be entered:
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/emulated/0/backup.img bs=512 count=30535646
and then the file has to be uploaded somewhere.
I would very appreciate it if someone does this or suggests something different. Thanks in advance!
i could really do with the same, this would be really handy. Phone all bricked up
Any luck with this? Mine ricked yesterday sounds the me.... Wont turn on, doesnt react to charger or plugging in to laptop

Custom Recovery OK?
The only problem I'm forseeing is that my unique data in my EFS partition may then be public - like my IMEI, Serial Number, etc.
How can you confirm such data won't be in this factory image?
You can wipe your efs partition and it will restore itself properly. You don't need a backup. If you can't get to fastboot/recovery then you won't be able to do this.

I tried to do a full backup twice now with that command. Corrupt both times. Doesn't help that it takes about 12gb of storage.
I'm running command now. it will probably take a bit. will keep you posted.
How do you know your backups were corrupted? I only ask because if I manage to upload the file I wouldn't want to upload a corrupt file to anyone.
Edit:2 I managed to get file. Its over 14GB, i didnt wipe phone before hand. Im going to upload to mega.

I did do a wipe and reflashed factory images the second time but did turn on device to install supersu app before I realized I could just do it through adb shell because I did flash supersu. So there is a google account linked to it. I changed my password so not sure if that will be an issue. I'm assuming as soon as your up and running you'll wipe and restore your stuff. I didn't wipe the efs though. My backup was on MTC20F and recovery twrp-3-0-2.2.

it's crazy how many Nexus phones are bricked. just in the general forum alone. this is my first Nexus and thought they couldn't brick unless you really tried. Did yours brick with that whole twrp-3-0-2.1 and nougat fiasco?
While the article that the OP mentioned has the general idea, anyone attempting this should verify the partition structure of the Nexus 6P against what the scripts are doing:
https://gist.github.com/zhuowei/79b6fbcd9ba9f1726163
Just an FYI. Also compressing the backup should make a huge difference in file size, if another upload is done in the future.
Also, the contents of /persist will be restored with such a backup... for more details see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/formatted-nexus-6p-persist-partition-t3453035
There are at least 2 things unique to each phone in that partition:
1) sensor calibration file (which I describe how re-create in the post above)
2) speaker calibration file (which would be tricky to adjust perfectly, except by a trial and error process)

Check in on progress in this thread - here
The goal is to get a raw operator rom for our device. That would include nothing other than necessary boot info for our devices.
You'd still have to flash-all the fastboot files to boot.
This is just to get corrupt eMMC back on track.
In the process of making our own programmer file using our partition information.

Almost sounds like you flashed an incorrect or corrupt kernel .. I had this happen once before and fixed it by re-flashing a stock, rooted RRU back to the phone and starting over

I've bricked my phone more than once.. You can also try booting into TWRP, erasing EVERYTHING, and reinstalling everything through your SD card (You must copy the ROM to your SD card after formatting the data and reboot your phone back to TWRP again) which has also worked for me. Honestly your best bet is to search around on here and do your homework before taking a swing at trying to fix the problem. You don't want to brick it to the point of no return which is possible, but honestly I've been modifying and flashing phones before Androids even hit the market and I've never had a permanent brick. There's always a way

You don't want to brick it to the point of no return which is possible, but honestly I've been modifying and flashing phones before Androids even hit the market and I've never had a permanent brick. There's always a way

ugh i will try that next. if this damn phone continues to have issues i will only stick to nexus and pixel devices.
I used the Moto G5 toolkit I found on here to root my phone (it's been forever since I last rooted, and it seemed like a simple, fast method), and I backed up my phone via the android backup option. It saved as a .ab file, is it possible to restore my phone to what it was before restoring/rooting last night (pre-root)? Skimming around, it's looking unlikely. Is there any way to get my phone somewhat back to what it was before? Unfortunately my grandma was signed into my account on an old tablet I gave her, and her stuff backed up via google, so I'm out of luck in that department.. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

never take the easy way out unless have n idea what it does, adb restore backup.ab
i assume that backup is only apps n data doh so if don"t work would need flash a stock rom from here

is it possible to flash over my current rom without messing it up? i have a feeling the answer is no lol. at this point i've kind of started over, but if i can get at least my texts, photos, etc. back, it would be awesome. just not sure, the backup file is only 83mb. i didn't have a lot of pictures, but something tells me that's not what it has on it.
