Hi guys,
I present here with small tutorial to backup your sdcard and your applications with their data. For this you'll required to know adb commands which I've posted in Moto G Index thread which can be found here. (I've too referred it and learnt about this process. Even you can create many more if you are crazy like me )
Backing up sdcard and your applications with their data is essentially process to keep them safe in case something goes wrong with your phone and need to be wiped.
I know that there are lot of other third party apps like Titanium Backup, Helium etc which are available in Google Play Store which can do this task.
But this method is safe, easy, reliable and works on stock and rooted devices.
Before starting, you need to download the zip which is attached in this post or you can also download Android SDK and install it on you PC and work on this commands.
Now, Go to Settings --> Developer options --> Check "usb debugging".
Connect your device to pc.
Backup & Restore sdcard
Backup :
Open a command prompt (shift + mouse right click) in "sdk platform" or in the folder downloaded from here, and type
Code:
adb devices
Press ENTER Key. You must see your device serial number. If you don't see it, probably your device drivers are not installed properly on your PC.
Now type
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/ /sdcard/
This command will pull your sdcard (not move or cut) to "c" directory under "sdcard" folder.
This process may take time depending upon the size of your sdcard. Please don't abort it until finishing.
Restore :
Open a command prompt (shift + mouse right click) in "sdk platform" or in the folder downloaded from here, and type
Code:
adb devices
Press ENTER Key. You must see your device serial number. If you don't see it, probably your device drivers are not installed properly on your PC.
Now type
Code:
adb push sdcard /sdcard/
This command will push the "sdcard" to your device.
This process may take time depending upon the size of your sdcard. Please don't abort it until finishing.
Hit thanks if you find this useful.
Backup & Restore Applications and Their Data
Backup :
Open a command prompt (shift + mouse right click) in "sdk platform" or in the folder downloaded from here, and type
Code:
adb devices
Press ENTER Key. You must see your device serial number. If you don't see it, probably your device drivers are not installed properly on your PC.
Now type
Code:
adb backup -apk -noshared -all -nosystem
Now look at your device and accept backup process. (You can continue without entering the password)
Wait until finishing.
This will backup your apps and their data to the PC (a "backup.ab" file will be created in the same folder).
Restore :
Open a command prompt (shift + mouse right click) in "sdk platform" or in the folder downloaded from here, and type
Code:
adb devices
Press ENTER Key. You must see your device serial number. If you don't see it, probably your device drivers are not installed properly on your PC.
Now type
Code:
adb restore backup.ab
Now look at your device and accept restore process. (If you entered the password while backing up, you need to enter it while restoring)
Wait until finishing.
This will restore your applications and their data to device.
Hit thanks if you find this useful.
It will be useful to change rom and not lose the progress of the games and some configurations?

Sorry for late reply mate.
But your backup file is saved where you adb and fastboot files are present!
It's in the directory where you had launch adb cmds to start the backup process.
If you don't find it still search it in C:\ drive or else your backup process was aborted because of failure.
It works for me, and you usually get prompts on your device to start the backup process and also get the prompts to restore the backup.
If you are facing more issues, PM me

Hello! Does it work if I do a backup on a motoG Lte then I restore it in another one motoG Lte? Becouse I have to send it back to where I've bought it and they're shipping me a new one
Thanks in advance!

Yes mate. I'm extremely sorry for late reply. I was unavailable these days.
If you are not able to restore that *.ab file, then it is "corrupted" due to incomplete process of backup!

Nandroid Restore
UPDATE: XDA member Cyanogen has put together a new recovery image that has a Nandroid restore mode built right in. This allows Nandroid to be totally selfcontained on the device. My (and Markazah) program still is good for easy restores if you keep multiple backups because Cyanogen's only restores the latest backup (within the Recovery image GUI anyway.)
Here is a link to his "Pimped out recovery image with new features"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523558
Awsome Cyanogen!

Nandroid, created through the efforts of Infernix and Brainaid, is a great tool for backing up your phone. The NANDROID backup process itself is easy to use; however, some folks are not so sure about how to restore these backups back to their phone.
Solution: Nandroid Restore and Nandroid Restore GUI
What it does:
Automates the FASTBOOT portion of the restore.
Nandroid Restore will use FASTBOOT to wipe and then restore the boot, system, userdata and recovery partitions from your phone.
When these tasks are completed, the script then reboots your phone.
What you should expect:
You should end up with a clean restore and all of your data just as you had it when you made your NANDROID backup. EASY!
Directions:
Get your phone into the Secondary Boot Loader (SPL):
Plug your phone into your computer with the USB cable
Take your NANDROID backup off of your SD card and place it in a directory on your PC with a copy of both fastboot.exe and AdbWinApi.dll.
Enter the Secondary Boot Loader (SPL) of your phone by powering down your phone and then powering it back up while holding both the <END> button and the <CAMERA> button.
Restore using NANDrest.bat from the command line:
On your PC, drop to a command prompt and navigate to the directory that you placed your NANDROID backup and fastboot.exe files.
Execute the program "nandrest.bat".
(It is also possible to simpily run this script from the folder without using the command prompt. We all have our preferences after all.)
Restore using Nandroid Restore GUI: (GUI written courtesy of XDA user Markazeh)
Make sure that the 4 Nandroid Restore GUI files are in the same folder as your NANDROID backups.
The GUI will make sure that all required files (the *.img files and Nandrest scripts.)
(See the included pictures)
Reference knowledge:
NANDROID is included with JesusFreke's testkeys modded recovery image. If you have a JF ROM then you probably already have this recovery image and NANDROID.
You must have the Engineering SPL or HardSPL to use FASTBOOT.
Fastboot.exe and AdbWinApi.dll are found in the "tools" folder of the SDK files.
FASTBOOT requires drivers to be loaded into your Windows Operating System. These drivers are in "usb_driver" folder of the SDK files.
Conclusion:
Sure, it's pretty simple and I use it to save time and automate the repair of my latest screw-up and now you can too!
Thank you to Infernix, Brainaid, JesusFreke, Haykuro, TheDudeOfLife, Google and all others that have given their skills and time to the Android community (and subsequently introduced the necessity for NANDROID. )
And thank you to XDA member Markazeh for providing the GUI for Nandrest.bat.

Thank you for this.
where is nandrest.bat?
@Sandshrimp: The nandrest.bat file is inside of the nandrest.zip file. You must first unzip nandrest.zip before you will be able to access nandrest.bat.
How is this script working for the rest of you?
Hey nicksen,
i was bored this evening, so i decided to write a little GUI for your Script...
How it works:
- First off, i deleted the ":AREYOUSURE" part in your script, cause a security check is
in the GUI.
- When you start the GUI, it checks if no file is missing and shows missing files
graphically.
- You can only press the "Flash" Button, when every file is in the folder...
I renamed the "nandrest.bat" to "nandrest", that no one can accindently flash the phone by clicking the nandrest.bat. When you click "Flash" the Programm renames the script to "nandrest.bat", that Windows can open it and after your Script has finished it renames it back to "nandrest".
Hope you like it!
Greetings

nicksen782: Thanks a bunch for the script!
Markazeh: Thanks even more for making a user friendly GUI for it!
This is amazing work, I love this community for this sort of collaborations.
I'll send people this way for easy restore.
@Markazeh -
Thanks! I like the GUI! This is technically my first contribution so I'm pretty tickled that it has been useful so soon. May I suggest that your GUI also check for the presence of AdbWinApi.dll and Fastboot.exe? Oh, and maybe throw my name on your GUI for the script portion? I can rewrite the first post of this thread to include the new GUI.
THANKS!
Yeh, I'm gonna put your name also on the GUI.
I CAN check for the other files, but some people have these files in the win dir....
I have to think about that....
I'll upload the GUI with your name in it in a few hours
May you can give a suggestion on how to handle the problem with the files....

This works great, thanks guys! Nice job!
Wow! What a great idea. We have all been needing this, IMHO.
How difficult would it be to make it possible to restore only one or more portions of the backup? For example, I did a wipe on the last flash of 1.5, and I want to restore my /data, but not the rest. If you could add that capability, this app would be perfect.
Thanks for your work.
agreed

I'd prefer not to restore the recovery partition every time for example (it doesn't change too much in my experience outside of flashing to an "official" build). That would be a great tweak!
Ok, ill discuss with nicksen...

Thanks. I will keep an eye open for your answer.
Another idea: Could this script, or one like it, possibly be added to 'recovery' so that it shows in recovery mode along with the backup command? It would be really sweet if we could do an 'alt + r' (or whatever) and restore the most recent nandroid backup. I know it is asking alot. But, "to g-e-t, you have to a-s-k." Right?

Well, it should be possible in a way, but we cant do it, cause this script is for windows and android/recovery is linux based...
GUI looks good, another suggestion would be to allow user selection of what is flashed. E.g. Data.img only or just Boot.img and System.img
@ markazeh: There have been some good suggestions. Perhaps checkboxes next to the "found/not found" labels? These checkboxes could default to all checked or all checked except recovery. You could also give the user the option of flashing or not flashing individual images via these checkboxes. Maybe 3 radio buttons at the top labeled: Restore EVERYTHING, Restore ONLY data, Restore EVERYTHING except recovery. Something to that effect. How can I help further?
I personally would really like a NANDROID restore to be available via something like alt+r in the recovery mode such as stellarman has suggested. My assumption is that the recovery mode loads in some of these partitions that we would be trying to restore and that would cause a problem. However, if it were possible to safely unmount these partitions and then restore using flash_image then it might work. The flash_image program however is on the system partition so a ramdrive or other temporary solution would need to be created first. I figure that this is why this hasn't already been done.
Can anybody confirm any of this?
Well the problem is, that i have to split your script in these parts: data flashing, recovery flashing, system flashing and boot flashing, cause i cant go to a part in the script, i can only run a bat.... So im going to split your script in these parts.
Then we have 4 small scripts....
Im going to put 4 Buttons to Flash System, Boot, Data and Recovery.
Should be done Tomorrow.

This will show you how to FULLY unroot your evo to stock. S-ON *****(LOCKED OOW)*****
THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU USED HTCDEV METHOD!!!!!
Please read thru this guide once or twice before actually taking steps !
Your phone MUST be on a stock sense rom so go get that installed now !
Download these files if you do not have them
ADB.exe http://d-h.st/Vsv
FastBoot.exe http://d-h.st/KB3

Before you do anything else, your phone MUST be on a stock sense rom !
step #1 downgrading the misc partition
1.download the first three files and create a folder and call it android then move the downloaded files to the android folder.(you should have already have this setup when you rooted with HTCdev)
2.download and install (do not run) htc sync: http://www.mediafire.com/?cdcjs0ue8tne4cy
3.connect your phone to the pc via usb cable
4.we need to extract and then move the flash_image and the mtd-eng files on to the sd card. make sure that you do not put the extracted files in any folders. they need to be on the root of the card (very top level)
5.change the setting from disk to charge only, make sure that usb debugging is turned on, settings>apps>development>check usb debugging, and lastly make sure that fastboot is disabled, settings>apps>uncheck fastboot.
6.on your pc hold shift while right clicking on the android folder. select open command window here option.
7. in the command window type:
Code:
[B][I]adb shell
ok you should get # in the command window if not then something went wrong.
if you do get # then type:
Code:
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
then:
Code:
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
and last:
Code:
/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img

download the 4.67 PC36IMG file and rename it by deleting everything but the PC36IMG part in the name. make sure not to add an extra zip as windows hides extensions.
move it to the root of the sd card that means on the top level of the card and not in any folders.
power off then press and hold power+vol down. this will take you to the bootloader. if you named the file right and it is on the root of the card then it will ask you to update. select yes.
before you reboot your phone double check your bootloader screen. at the top it should say locked and your hboot should be 2.18 with s-on. if that is what you see then congrats!!!!!!!!!! you are now unrooted!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I know this is really out of date, but I have to send my phone back because the screen is cracked (inner touch screen) and I wanted the phone to be completely stock. I never rooted the phone. I only unlocked the bootloader. I found this thread hoping I could relock the bootloader to make it look like I never unlocked it in the first place. Of course once I reached Step 7, I don't get the # sign. I get the $ sign and I don't know what to do :/

also adb pull will fail on later adb versions since no destination specified, so you need to add . on end, e.g.

For anyone interested, below are the steps for getting your device dual-booting with CyanogenMod 10.2.
Why?
I don't want to erase native firmware and want to give a try to CyanogenMod
I want to have both native and CM, because I like native Samsung S-Pen apps, but want to have more fresh Android too
I like experimenting - it's cool!
The Idea
Our Android device has 2 boot partitions - for normal boot, and to boot into recovery. If I want to boot CyanogenMod, I need to place its boot image instead one of those boot partitions. E.g. if I want to have both native firmware and cyanogen - then obviously I need to replace recovery partition. However I can do the backup of recovery and restore it later if needed.
But, I also need to place cyanogen system and data partitions somewhere. Putting it on the external sdcard makes CM working really slow, repartitioning internal memory might be good idea, but it is not so easy and is not necessary for experimenting. Thus I've created 2 image files and put it to native data partition (mmcblk0p12) to media folder, e.g. into internal sdcard, then changed cyanogen boot image to mount those image files on boot as system and data partitions.
Prerequisites:
Rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2012 Edition
2GB of free disk space at internal sdcard
Recovery partition backup, because we are going to replace it with CyanogenMod boot image
Clear understanding of what you are doing, because you potentially can break your device
Downloads:
CM 10.2 boot image
CM 10.2 data partition image
CM 10.2 system partition image
Steps
This manual suggests that you are going to do the recovery backup to external sdcard and has native firmware which means that recovery partition is mmcblk0p6, data partition is mmcblk0p12 and internal sdcard is /mnt/sdcard folder (otherwise you need to change the commands appropriately and might need to fix cyanogen boot image too).
Download 3 files by the links above and upload to internal sdcard of your device. Connect to your device via ADB and run ADB shell, or type the next commands in terminal emulator:
Code:
# become root
su -
# go to external sdcard to create recovery backup
cd /mnt/extSdCard
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=./recovery.img
# go to internal sdcard folder
cd /mnt/sdcard
# unpack partition images - each is 1Gb of disk space
gunzip ./system.img.gz
gunzip ./data.img.gz
# write CM boot image to recovery partition
dd if=./cyanogen.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
# finish
exit
exit
Now you can reboot your device into recovery mode and see CyanogenMod booting.
Restoring native recovery:
If you got tired from CyanogenMod and/or would like to take back your recovery, please use the backup you've done before. Lets say it is placed on your external sdcard, then connect to your device via ADB and run ADB shell, or type the next commands in terminal emulator:
Code:
# become root
su -
# go to the folder with recovery backup
cd /mnt/extSdCard
# write recovery image over recovery partition
dd if=./recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
Please let me know If I missed anything in my steps.
P.S. What I've changed in Cyanogen boot.img to make it using img files instead of partitions in form of patch: View attachment cyanogen_boot_img.patch. It is also necessary to create /host folder in initrd folder tree.
wow!!
it's really hard to be done xD
i thought it will be as easy as it was on my old Galaxy S2
all what i needed to do is to restart the phone and press home to boot to second Rom
i hope it's going to be easier soon
and thank you for you efforts toward our device Development

Well, it is not as hard as it probably seems Download 3 files and overwrite recovery partition.
Probably I need to compose something like zip file for CWM or TWRP when I have free time... But if would be really nice if someone get it working too following current steps

I really Appreciate your work here brother And as it seems our device is not getting much of the attention unlike other devices
And what i meant by hard is it's possible to be done without any mistakes , but i take sometime to do so and you need a computer every time you want to change the Rom so it's not a solution for every time use .
I wish you good luck and Thank you for your support

Thanks for kind words Actually you don't need to have the computer to change ROM, you can type commands from terminal emulator directly from Android. I'm also thinking about creating small Android app which can be installed to each ROM and will be able to switch boot partition within one click.
Thanks for this superb work. Can't download last file ?
Please if can make someone flashable zip it would be great I am a noob but I want try this thanks again

Can I do this this with another rom
maro_X said:

It is possible, but your another rom must be specially modified for this.
What rom are you talking about exactly?
Multi-boot solution
I've tired of writing images to boot partition every time I want to switch between native firmware and Cyanogen, so decided to compose a little program that I was talking before. So let me introduce you N8xx Boot Manager!
The idea:
You put your boot images files to some folder on your sdcard, lets say to /mnt/extSdCard/images/boot
And recovery boot images to /mnt/extSdCard/images/recovery
Now you run Boot Manager and select what you want to boot as normal boot or as recovery
As soon as you selected it, the application asks you if you would like to write this image to the appropriate partition (boot or recovery)
After successful writing it will ask you for booting from that partition, e.g. propose to reboot into your another rom or recovery
For sure all the settings like path where to keep images and boot/recovery partition names can be fixed appropriately to your device at the Settings tab
For sure the application requires root permissions, e.g. your device must be rooted. You can also check this from Settings tab
The application file: View attachment bootmanager-1.0.apk - feel free to install it to your device and use posting me bug reports
P.S. The only thing I've forgotten - the button to create native boot image file backup You still need to do it manually, sorry Hopefully in next release, if there be people interested in N8xx Boot Manager
P.P.S. Generally this program can be used for any device - just put correct images and correct boot partition names
P.P.P.S. Why N8xx and not N8xxx or N80xx? Because I've missed one symbol when typed application name in Android Studio and was too lazy to change that later :laugh:
N80xx Boot Manager
Updated version of N80xx Boot Manager: View attachment bootmanager-1.1.apk
Changelog:
Fixed application name
Fixed images path detection when no settings were changes
Added "Backup boot partiton" and "Backup recovery partition" buttons
Thus, now to install CM 10.2 as dual boot you don't need to go to ADB or terminal - just upload 3 img files to your device proper locations, installl boot manager apk, create stock boot/recovery partitions backup, then select what you want to boot and boot to that rom!
P.S. Going to update first post of this thread with steps based on Boot Manager, just would be nice if someone confirm that it works.

I'm using the same Revolution HD 9.0 by mike1986 and it works for me. The backup might fail if backup folder is not available. By default it is trying to use external sdcard for backups, it is looking for /mnt/extSdCard/images/boot and /mnt/extSdCard/images/recovery paths for the purpose. Please create those folders if you don't have it, or change boot manager settings according to your thought where the backups should be. The boot and recovery folders should exist anyway, e.g. it is up to you to create them.

This is simple EFS backup tool. We are very well knowing about what EFS is and why it is MUST to backup on every rooted device. If you don't know then Read this.
You needs root access to use this tool otherwise app won't open..
Location of stored file :
Device storage/MyEFS
If you unable to see backup, contact me with details of your device variant
Download :
PRO Version
XDA version (free)- Attached at end of this post.
Difference between Free/PRO version
-Both version makes backup in same format and no difference in backup.
-Pro version have option to Restore with single click
-Free version will save file in MyEFS and if you make next backup it will replace older one. While play store version everytime creates new folder with date ,Time and your IMEI stamp so you can keep multiple backup as well no confulsion about which backup is made when and on which device. Also it makes copy of build.prop so you can get idea you were on which ROM when backup created)
-Play store version give notification in case backup not created.
-Weekly Auto backup feature available on play store version.
-PIT creator. Play store V1.1 added option to create PIT file from existing layout

This tool using generic name of partition block and you can restore with simple adb shell
dd if=/path of backup files/ of=/partition block according your device
ChangeLog
1.0 - Initial release.
In case backup is not created then post your device details here.
What is EFS
This part of the device contains some important and some basic info related to our device identity like Bluetooth MAC address, wireless devices MAC addresses, product code (also in the nv_data.bin) and the very main IMEI address (nv_data.bin), programming parameters for the device such as your account information (phone number, etc), data provisioning parameters, and a whole bunch of other things. So you can guess it's will be different for each device and one can't use others. In latest samsung device this information store in other partition so requires to make backup of that partition too.
How it can corrupt :
- Any bad flashing, mishandling system modification can cause this.
- Also It can be corrupted by downgrading stock ROM. If you flash any old ROM on newer ROM it can corrupt EFS. Basically newer ROM believed to have new kernel that changes EFS data which older Modems can't read and results to fail in reading IMEI.
Impact on device/How I know I have corrupted EFS
When there is EFS partition is corrupted, device loses IMEI and due to this device can't gets connected to network. Baseband info also sometimes shows unknown.
-Check your IMEI in setting / by dialling *#06# if it is null OR if it starts with 0049** then IMEI is generic and corrupted. In Normal case IMEI which you can see in device setting or dialing *#06# is exactly same you can see on bill/box/sticker under battery compartment
-If you are unable to connect to network in spite of correct IMEI, chance are
A. Your device is Locked to specific Network OR
B. Your device is banned due to tempered IMEI
-If your AP,CP,CSC all are correct and even you are getting error (unknown CSC XXX) on kies update, it may be due to corrupt Product code in EFS. Read This for detail.
What care should i take
Before flashing anything, first thing you should do is to make EFS backup. Every person who have rooted device should make EFS backup earliest and place it to safer place on PC and /Cloud.
If you are on older ROM, make EFS backup on older ROM as well make another after upgrading ROM too.
If you have already updated to newer ROM, make backup on current ROM.
Exit "Permanent Safe Mode" This condition represent with loss of IMEI + yellow text box on homescreen with device info.here is Screenshot
Here is different method to remove it.
Method1 :
Open root explorer.
Navigate to /efs/FactoryApp/
Open "factorymode" file as Text and edit it:
Change this:
Code:
OFF
To:
Code:
ON
Open "keystr" file as Text and edit it:
Code:
OFF
To:
Code:
ON
Reboot device.
Method2:
Open Terminal emulator
Write the following:
Code:
su
Then click enter. It will ask for super user permission, give it permissions.
Write the following & click enter:
Code:
rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
Write the following & click enter:
Code:
rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
Write the following & click enter:
Code:
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
Write the following & click enter:
Code:
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
Write the following & click enter:
Code:
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
Write the following & click enter:
Code:
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
Write the following & click enter:
Code:
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
Write the following & click enter:
Code:
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
Reboot your device
Method3
Install attached safemode_exit apk as regular app. Open from drawer - Grant su permission - Reboot when asked.
e:failed to mount /efs(invalid argument) error with bootloop
This condition usually happens with using unsupported tool (usually from play store).
To recover this, needs to use adb shell
Code:
adb shell
mke2fs / dev/block/mmcblk0p[COLOR="Red"]x[/COLOR]
mount-w-t ext4 / dev/block/mmcblk0p[COLOR="red"]x[/COLOR] / efs
x means your device EFS partition number. Here this is for just visual representation. Block number/Name may be completely different on your device.
PS : It needs CWM and busybox installed.

Those are for those who have efs issue.

yea i edited my last post lol all good Dr ty
Hey dr.ketan,
I've always used TWRP to backup the EFS partition, when I flash a ROM from other country and I dont have connection to my carrier I restore this partition using TWRP and it works again..... So my question is, is this a safe mode of doing it too?
I have never used twrp for this so no much idea.. Regarding safety yes this method is safe. Also twrp should safe. This is useful for those who don't have twrp.
Thank you...
Actually about the safe method I was asking if TWRP method was safe, I know yours is
I'd like to purchase the pro version of this app to go towards the tweaks pro for note 7.
I have already purchased donate dev and utilities pro for note 4.
Looking for an app that be useful to purchase for my note 7 instead of the others to go towards tweaks pro note 7
Thanks

If you have purchased Donate Dev then no need to purchase anything more because it covers almost utilities for N7 in one app.
Simply download Request code for Note7 from here - Install it and send me mail through it. Before sending mail you have to write Google Order ID of Donate Dev app (you get it on mail you received from google)
After this you will get complete instructions and Pro key in 24-48hrs.
Also once you have Pro Key, you will able to get Pro version of IMEI app (I will release soon)
