[Q] my phone stopped working after changing farmework

I have replaced the framework files in the system... rebooted the phone and got many errors... can't even view anything in the phone.
Do I solve the problem by installing the bootloader and Modems XXUFNC9 by odin3?
Do I lose my files by installing this?
If this worked, would I be able to do a backup using recovery mode?
Thanks in advance

you can use your phone again after flashing stock firmware and wiping data & cache
you will lose any data
I dont recommend that you do a backup in this status because you missed the phone up
always do Nandroid backup when the phone is clean !
if you have a previous backup you can restore it

so there's no way to restore my files?!

go to recovery then do a custom backup and choose data & cache (dont select any other option) and hit start backup
then after flashing & wiping flash a custom recovery and go to custom restore and choose data & cache
and hit start restore
your phone should work with previous apps
make sure to backup in SD CARD !

Just to confirm.. this is the sequence u mean?,, please correct me if am wrong
1. back up
2- wipe data and cache
3- restore

yes like that but do a (custom backup)
not a normal or full backup !

what do you mean by a custom back up?..how to do it?

the most thing I care about is my photos and videos... is it possible to just back up those?
after this i have to install omega rom to do the rest of the work...do u recommend this step?

follow my steps
go to recovery
go to backup and restore > custom backup to /storage/sdcard1
then select everything instead of the SYSTEM then start backup
after that wipe data & cache
then flash stock firmware via Odin
then wipe data & cache
then flash a custom recovery
then go backup and restore > restore from /storgae/sdcard1 and select the folde qnd hit start
everything should be ok

How can I switch form PA 3.99RC2 to 4.4RC1 on N4?

Hello to all,
as one can easily deduce from the title I would need a guide with all the steps you can take to upgrade from the version of Paranoid Android 3.99 RC2 to the latest version 4.4 RC2.
I wanted to wait for it to come out of beta before flashing the new version but now I do not know if I need new bootloader and radio or make other steps introduced with the new versions of the PA.
Can someone guide me with the steps to follow to make this switch?
Thanks in advance for the answers.
PS: Sorry for my bad English.

make a nandroid backup in recovery, then dirty flash it over the previous version and also flash the gapps. if you have issues, wipe data and reflash everything.

Hiya Piota
basically:
1. Backup ur data
2. reboot into bootloader
3. Download and Flash the latest 2 files Radio , Bootloader
4. boot into recovery factory reset and format system
5. flash the rom and gapps.

new radio or bootloader is not needed if you dont want it.

you can flash them in recovery, yes.
yes, wiping data/factory reset will get rid of all your apps and data.

I have done a bkp, then I've flashed radio and bootloader, than I've done wipe and format but now how can I flash something if I can't put the image in the phone (because there isn't an OS)?

why did you wipe the os? youll need to adb push a rom to your device now or flash the factory img and reroot. OR, restore your backup. thats why i wrote to dirty flash the rom first, you most likely would have been fine and had no data loss. second choice would be to wipe fdata and flash, where you would lose data. the last option is to wipe the os off your phone, only if you have serious issues.
edit. if you wiped all from your phone that means you cleared your backup as well.

How can I restore the bkp if I can't put the bkp in the phone?
I have to push with ADB how can I do that?

search google "how to adb push a rom", or if youre using twrp you can search also search adb sideload. lots of links will come up.

Problem solved! Thank you all! I've just done an "adb push".

Sokkoban's Deodexed Rooted Custom Rom B574

I wish to move from stock b574 to sokkoban's.
My biggest concern is that in the description given, it requires wiping data. Given that I am already on marshmallow, is there really a need to wipe data in twrp? Won't cache/system wipe just do? I don't want to wipe my internal sd plus file structure/dates. Plus all my apps!
Call me lazy but am yet to find a backup system that will return all my files & apps as they were pre-flash.
Any ideas?

actually, huawei has pre-installed backup app.. and it works great... you can backup every app plus app's data too... but backing up all those may take time..

in teory no you dont need to wipe data ...
as you know sokkoban rom must be installed via twrp
so you can :
fisrt
install twrp
make nandroid backup
install sokkoban rom without wipe
if does not work you can try to
wipe and install sokkoban rom
recovery from your previus backup the data partition

Thanks guys. I can confirm you do not need to wipe data to use the custom rom. A simple dalvik & cache wipe did it.

Stick to S7
Also do not forget to make a backup in TWRP might save you a lot of hassle if one flash goes wrong
:good:

it is not reccomended to do this (its called a dirty flash) you can choose to do this anyway when installing a custom ROM most of them come with an option in the AROMA installer letting you do a fresh wipe or "dirty flash" it will just install the ROM over your current leaving your settings/apps there. Or if there is no AROMA installer with the rom just dont do a wipe before you install. no need to restore using a backup
dirty flash should be fine if you are upgrading ROMS to a later version but you should always check the thread if that is okay. you may run into problems if its a huge update.

heres some info on EFS > http://www.naldotech.com/galaxy-s7-s7-edge-backup-restore-efs-imei-partition/
recovery is TWRP itself
system is the ROM
Data is your apps etc..
a standard backup is already seleted in TWRP which is
Boot / System / Data
you may as well backup EFS as well its only a few Kb

Boot to recovery (I reccomend orangefox) wipe cache, dalvik, data, system > flash rom > flash gapps (optional) > flash magisk (optional) if after reboot it ask for password you have to format data (i've noticed that if you flash magisk before booting the system the password isn't required). If you come from miui maybe you need to flash vbmeta before rom (i'm not sure but it doesn't hurt)

When you wipe system you delete the previous os (rom) installed then you flash the new os (rom). Wich rom do you want to install?

If you don't have SD Card then don't wipe Internal Storage. But Clean Flash always recommend.

Ok so if you want to reinstall your app and data after flashing the rom you can backup with titanium backup or migrate. Reboot to recovery and wipe cache, dalvik, system and data after this flash the rom (you can flash it from internal storage) after the rom without rebooting to the system flash gapps (optional) and magisk (I reccomend to flash magisk so you can restore the backup and it avoid to have the problem with password request). Reboot to system

Last question
i dont have sd card and in the past when i wipe system , data ..... and try to flash the zip custom rom ( in Download folder OF my phone ) i can't find it ... with no OS installed i can't open my phone to transfer files... so the only solution flashing stock rom.

Maybe you have wiped also internal storage or format data? If you wipe just cache, dalvik, data and system you must found the files in the download folder.
