Hi all,
This thread seeks to get answers to my questions as I am trying to get a particular rom on my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544474
Many thanks in advance.
1) My phone is in stock condition. What are the requirements? Do I need rooted access?
2) Step 2 should be interpreted as wipe data and cache, correct?
3) How do I install the .zip file? Where do I put it and do I need to run some software on PC or is it done entirely on my phone?
4) Is there something I should back up? I am not talking about settings, pics etc. Rather about some stuff like original ROM or I don't know what.
Lastly, the download links seem unavaible due to high traffic lately. Could anyone, in case he or she has the file, upload it somewhere else?
Thank you ver much!
I hope I can help you a lttle bit
1) You need a custom Recovery (e.g ClockworkMod). Root access is not needed if you dont want do backup your apps and data. You can flash the CWM recovery via Odin from a PC.
2/3) If you have installed your Custom Recovery, download the Rom zip file and place it on your sdcard where you can find it.
Before you install it make a factory reset in the recovery. Then install the rom zip.
4) It is always a good idea to backup your original rom. You can also do that in the custom recovery.
If you have more questions you can send me a private message and I can provide you a step for step guide

Root is not required, Just flash Custom recovery with odin, make backup of origional rom and flash your custom rom which you will place on sd card or internal sotrage.
Note: Make efs backup....use efs professional for samsung devices
1: Wipe Data / Factory Reset
2: Wipe Cache Partition
3. Wipe dalvik cache
4. Flash your rom

Hello,
i recently updated to android 5. Before it i did a nandroid backup. but i forgot to back up my private mode.
I checked nandroid backup on my computer, i founded the private mode folder, but i guess its encrypted. Is it possible to recover files from it ?
or what happens if i copy back the private mode folder from nandroid backup to the new firmware, it will work ?
thanks
i ended up downgrading to kitkat. restored nandroid backup. backed up private mode data. then install lollipop again, so i guess thread closed. but if anybody has a better solution for this. please say so
Hi,
I know that there are some threads talking about private mode problems after root but I have tried the TEKHD zip file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/private-mode-try-test-t2922671 and invano method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-xshealth-bypass-secure-storage-t2878708/page12 and it doesn't work. I don't want to deodex my rom so I can't install xposed framework.
So I rooted my phone and private mode still works. But after restoring my last titanium backup, private mode stopped to work. I don't use the private mode but want to know how to solve this problem .
I have a sm-n910f running lollipop 5.0.1. I know that it is not my backup causing the problem because it is the second time I restore a titanium backup and it made the same problem. So I think the problem is from the app titanium backup, and not the backup.
I've used Titanium Backup numerous times, (same phone and firmware) without any private mode problems.
If it is a TB issue, it's probably a corrupt system file you are trying to restore. Rule of thumb; do not restore system files.

So do I need to factory reset or I can just simply delete all the data with TWRP? Or I must flash the stock rom and then factory reset?
Problem solved!
What I did is doing backup with titanium backup. Then I factory reset USING TWRP (not using advanced wipe). After that, private mode was working again. I restore the user apps using titanium backup and I also restore some system apps data : I only restore the apps that I know (not the "com.athing.anotherthing...).
Hi, i have a problem and would like to know what i can do.
Before I did a data format in order to flash the XXX rom, ive moved some of my folders to my computer, unfortunately i didnt backed up my music folder.
I did a few days ago a full twrp backup.
Do folders are backed up when you do a twrp backup? Is there a few to to retrieve onlt this folder from the twrp back up or do i need to restore my back and is it safe to do currently with this rom?
hi, i have a sm-t510 with android 9, and im trying to install twrp but everytime i try i get some kind of wierd file corruption. all my files in sdcar are named with random numbers and letters and there is nothing in it. the tablet boot normaly, but i cant install anything or acces any of my normal file. is there anyway to fix that, or does anyone has a data back up i can use for that version XAC-T510XXU2ASK5. thank you.

Didn't read the instructions very carefully, now did you? The very FIRST thing you need to do when booting to TWRP is to FORMAT THE DATA PARTITION. Not wipe, but FORMAT. The data partition is encrypted and TWRP can't read it. That is why everything looks weird. Also, that is why you need to backup any pictures, downloads or anyting else you want to save because formating the partition will erase EVERYTHING and not just system stuff that wiping deletes.

My post pointed out that formatting would erase everything and that you should backup prior to doing it. And there are several other methods of backing up data and apps besides TWRP. Yes, it leaves the data partition blank, but flashing a ROM and gapps will put the directories back. Of course, they will still be empty. If you used a Google Account, then that should have at least backed up your apps and some settings. When you setup a new ROM, it should let you restore them.
BTW, yes it was the first time it happened for most of us. Samsung keeps trying to improve "security" and adding encryption, by default, to the data partition is in all of their new tablets and phones.

You can't backup a stock ROM with TWRP because it can't handle the encryption. But you can use TWRP to root a stock ROM. In that case you just ignore the wierd internal data and put what you want to flash only on the external SD. IOW, if your reason for flashing TWRP is to use its backup function on a stock, don't bother, it won't work. But if your intent is to ROOT the stock ROM, then go ahead, but DON'T format data. Just put the files needed to root on the external SD and flash from there. You format the data partition in order to flash a custom ROM.
