My hinge came dislodged on my rooted G2 and I'm sending it back for a new one under warrenty. I wanna keep the root on my new G2 what steps should I take with my old phone and new phone to make the change simple. An explanation of what I should back up on my old phone (specific apps that should be used, storing the root etc) and an explanation of what steps I should take to transfer everything to my new g2 once I root it.
Thanks guys

Have you searched but not found anything?

Best thing you could do is create a backup with CWM, and then after you root your new phone you install CWM and restore the backup.
Using the search function on the forum would save you time you know.
i just went through this...
one of our g2's had a failed component, and was replaced under warrantee.
what i did:
OLD PHONE
1) titanium backup all apps + data to sdcard
2) reboot recovery
3) wipe cache (saves some space/time)
4) nandroid backup to sdcard
5) restore backup
6) reboot to restored backup, making sure it works perfectly
7) power off, remove sdcard
8) boot recovery
9) factory data reset
10) boot to 'new' clean phone, insuring everything is wiped
NEW PHONE STARTS HERE
1) factory data reset (i always do this with a new phone)
2) root, flash CWMod recovery, update radio (radio update not required, just my preference)
3) poweroff, insert sdcard
4) power on recovery
5) nandroid restore (CWMod, whatever)
6) update whatever apps/data
7) enjoy
yes, there is redundancy - but you will have zero issues this way
accidentally wiped all the data off my phone, now whenever i on my phone, it is always at the TWRP recovery. Is there any way i can go back to the original?
More info: i was using RGUI ROM
after i downloaded a new update for android and clicked install now, my phone went to the TWRP page, from then i tried to restore the previous backup but i still ended up at the TWRP page. Which lead to me accidentally wipe off all the data fro my phone
Please help!
Phase 1: SEA LG G2 + stock 4.2.2 unrooted.
Phase 2: SEA LG G2 + stock 4.4.2 unrooted.
Phase 3: SEA LG G2+ stock 4.4.2 + rooted (iroot25)
Phase 4: SEA LG G2 + stock 4.4.2 + rooted + TWRP 2.7.0 (AutoRec) + XPosed + Viper4Android + Xdabbeb 3.1.0.
Display damaged: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53170464
Phase 5: nandroid + restore stock 4.2.2 unrooted
Phase 6: sent to warranty , display changed, still stock 4.2.2 unrooted.
Phase 7: iroot25 + autorec (TWRP 2.7.0)
phase 8: trying to restore nandroid on phase 5. Restored ok but loop boot.
It could be because of new display? Or should I restore backup over stock 4.4.2?
Logcat attached.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance...
I would advise you first to install some rom (try the same you had earlier), or any other rom(stock based)
Then in twrp wipe all but internal, leave the internal. Then restore the backup (don't tick EFS..)
now I'm on Pardus HD RoM Classic 7.2 (D80220d), but I'll try your suggestion and i'll be back with the result.
Thanks.
Funny stuff... before wiping and restoring as you told me, I tried to backup current Pardus stock, but it fails at 40% of system backing up....
weird...
Try backing up on the usb otg. Then restore the previous backup without efs..

sorry for being a n00b, but how can I do that?!
TIA.
If you've got the usb otg cable, simply connect the usb flash drive(usb flash) to it and choose the usb otg after pressing backup. Why don't you simply try wiping, then restoring? Maybe you like the current system too much . If so, then you might consider if you need the old one.

yes, indeed it is a great rom!
But I have some stuff saved in that nandroid and I kind of need to restore it
btw, all i can restore from the backup are : system, data and boot. No efs, no other partitions.. what do you think ? can I continue with restoring after wiping dalvik, system, data and cache, leaving internal storage?
Try. That's fine. You could also try installing similiar or same rom as you did first time, then restore data only..

restoring in progress....
after restoring, should I just reboot or do I need to wipe something else? I guess that first option, but it's my first boot loop so maybe I did something wrong..

Try only wiping cache and dalvik cache.

put [SOLVED] + thread name instead of the current thread name so people know it's fixed.
Hi Guys,
I think I pressed advanced wipe on TWRP and it deleted my operating system.
How can I get my phone back to stock Lollipop if possible ?
Thank you
Flash stock rom via Odin or restore your Nandroid backup via TWRP .

TWRP is still there, so you can install a custom ROM from in there (if you don't have a full backup (nandroid) to use) The Advanced Wipe comes up with all options unticked - which ones did you tick? All of them? If it was only system your data is still on the Internal SD and Data sections so you may want to do a backup of at least Data to your extSDCard from TWRP before anything else.
Hi
i have installed Cloudy 3.3 on my phone G2 D802
And now i want install CyanogenMod 13.
I want the correct way to install without losing my data :good:
I would suggest making a backup of your device because you will need to wipe your data.
