How can I backup everything on my rooted N4? (Every single thing) - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This might seem like a newbie question but this isn't the case.
I already know Titanium backup exists and I have been using it for years. However a few months back I suffered from the ''infamous brick'' seen everywhere on this thread caused by the unofficial CM13 ROM.
This brick corrupted everything on my phone (EFS Partition, etc) and the ONLY thing i could ever boot into was the recovery.
2 months and $150 later in repairs (literally everyone failed to fix it software-side) I learned my lesson
I need to back up my entire phone incase something like this happens again. What app should I use, and what should I back up?
Thanks

Do a nandroid backup from the recovery

Option 1 Command line:
Quick and easy way to backup /system
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/system.img bs=4096
Quick and easy way to backup the kernel
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=4096
Quick and easy way to back up EFS
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/efs.img bs=4096
Quick and easy way to back up Radio
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/radio.img bs=4096
Quick and easy way to back up Recovery
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096
Create a directory on your machine. C:\Phonerecovery
Copy all those files from /sdcard to that directory.
With those images you can build a ODIN flash file
Using Cygwin or a Linux machine: tar -H ustar -c boot.img kernel.img recovery.img system.img > Unf*ckMyNote4.tar
Using ODIN to restore stock firmware usually will unf*ck a CM flashed phone. Keeping one handy from a provider of stock Samsung Note 4 firmware is also a good thing.
Option 2:
Custom recovery like CWM / TWRP installed on your phone
Since you were able to reboot into recovery having a TWRP backup probably would have saved you.

Galaxy S III partition layout, basic EFS backup instructions included

The partition layout of the SGS3 is the following:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system ext4
/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /data ext4
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /cache ext4
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efs ext4
So, backing up efs with adb is easy:
'adb shell'
'dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/efsbackup.img'
'exit'
'adb pull /sdcard/efsbackup.img'
And there you go.
Restoring it is nearly the same process, but *surprise* reversed.
Only restore your efs partition if it's absolutely necessary. Yes, there is only a 0.01% chance of corrupting your efs partition/backup while doing the backup or restore but I won't be able to help you if you corrupt your backup or partition. You've been warned.
The usual disclaimer applies here: I nor XDA-developers.com are responsible for any damage you do to your phone.
But if you must know:
'adb push efsbackup.img /sdcard/efsbackup.img'
'adb shell'
'dd if=/sdcard/efsbackup.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p3'
'exit'
And if you want to be absolutely sure there's no garbage left on your efs partition prior to restoring it:
'adb push efsbackup.img /sdcard/efsbackup.img'
'adb shell'
'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3'
'dd if=/sdcard/efsbackup.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p3'
'exit'
But, and yes this is a major problem. Adb shell isn't functioning properly on our SGS3. As I mentioned in this thread, you can only use one adb shell command per cmd window. If you want to do two things in adb shell, you'll have to open a new command prompt and enter the second command which isn't a huge disaster but it's quite annoying, especially if you've got some heavy duty shell work.
you can also use this for EFS Folder Backup

I wonder if there are any information about other partitions? There are suppose to be 12 partitions. I only know the purpose of a couple of them.
Below is what I can find so far.
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 - unknown
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 - unknown
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 - /efs
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 - unknown
/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 - kernel
/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 - recovery
/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 - unknown

/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 - /system
/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 - unknown
/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 - unknown
/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 - /data
Supposing some of the unknown ones are bootloader related.
what partition is for modem?
Thx.
thanks to both of you guys for posting this! i was wondering what the partition layout looked like. now i'm ready to start tweaking even if we don't get root for US versions day1. this is unlikely, though.

That's great information! The only remaining question is the mapping of sboot.bin and tz.img. I often see these two partitions in many ROMs. It seems likely that these are the first 2 partitions.

Hey, why are the /block/ parts missing in some lines of code? looks like an error, isn't it? It should always be /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 if I'm not wrong
Thanks.

The sboot.bin is stored in the mmcblk0p1 partition. No idea what the tz.img stands for though...
is this info still the exact same info for SPH-L710 (Sprint CDMA) S3 Device?
its running android 4.1.1 stock but im rooted and have CWM installed

i did a search there for sph-l710 (my model and nothing came up)
i dont think that thread was for this phone so i guess the question remains.
is the partition tables in the (1st page) not just the first post correct for SPH-L710?

odia gives this to restore bootloaders
# dd if=/sdcard/sboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
# dd if=/sdcard/tz.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
# dd if=/sdcard/param.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
so 1 = bootloader
2= tz

well maybe you can use the commands to find your table?
in adb type:
mount
Sorry for bumping this thread but nothing is working for me. I've tried the EFS pro backup tool and only get "connecting to device" for hours. So I saw this thread and thought manually doing it would work fine, and I get "permission denied".
I'm on a rooted, US variant, the SPH-L710. Even backing up the MSL has posed problems, so idk what is going on. Please help. I've been searching the site for 2 days and came up with tons of threads that just do not work.
Now if only we could resize these partitions!

AS this is not your phones forum i suggest you ask in your phones forum as there are significant differences in the hardware .
The I9300 stickys have a network EFS IMEI thread if you want to read that but any I9300 firmware or fixes may brick a different phone .

Thought I should post the latest partition for OH1 firmware (Stagefright BUG FIX firmware)

The main purpose of this thread is to discuss possible ideas for development and exploitation of the Motorola Droid Turbo. Topics can range from ideas on how to accomplish certain mods as we are trying to bake them into images to ways to flash different files to unlocking the BL. I am by no means an expert and I have some ideas I'd like to share with others on various topics. There is alot of hostility on this board, lets build some community!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I do not however have total knowledge so I lack some skills to know if what I am saying is even possible. I am simply an android enthusiast, technologically inclined individual, and engineering student.
I will start us off: Since we have root permissions would it be possible to just dd a replacement recovery to the recovery partition, or even a modified bootloader. Or is that something R/W would prohibit/ not keep after a reboot? Would we be able to nandroid and restore/ install if we even could get a replacement recovery without the unlocked B/L?

The IMEI is in the utags partition.
Code:
su
dd if="/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/utags" of="/sdcard/utags.bin"
Then pull utags.bin off of the internal storage of the device and open it in a hex editor (you need root to copy it to the internal storage)
What about 2nd init? This seems to have been a good solution in the past. I believe this is how Safestrap worked. It used an exploit in a log file to launch 2nd init from the data partition. In this case the system would boot from data and we would presumably have full access. I don't know if the exploit would still work in 4.4.4. This would be the key, but the exploit could be added to a system image and flashed. Safestrap would be awesome, but even a simple 2nd init could work to start. I am just throwing this out there for discussion. This is way outside of my means, but someone else might be able to help.

To answer your first question, no, dd'ing a new recovery in place wouldn't work. I think wp(write protect) would stop it and even if it doesn't, booting it would fail, as it verifies the signature of the partition it's booting from unless the device is unlocked or an engineering model. For your second question, yes, if you could miraculously perform the act of getting a recovery in there and it boots (emphasis on "and it boots") you *should* be able to backup/restore/install stuff.

The IMEI is in the utags partition.
Code:
su
dd if="/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/utags" of="/sdcard/utags.bin"
Then pull utags.bin off of the internal storage of the device and open it in a hex editor (you need root to copy it to the internal storage)

Not sure what your local laws are but check before modifying IMEI.

Erh, I wasn't aware that you wanted to CHANGE your IMEI. I am afraid that I am unable to assist you with that (well, I'm able, I just don't want to because it's illegal).

In our country, you have to register to use the mobile phone brought a passport outside the country due to a ridiculous law. Also you invest 50$ before the bank for this purpose.
That's not all. The passport to be registered abroad in the last 2 months need to be logged in our country. In addition, within the last 2 years it is supposed to be saved to another mobile phone passport...
This transaction is being processed on the IMEI number...
We were so old that we bring to mobile phones from abroad, used condition but in our country we are writing the IMEI number of the phone is registered. However we have to...

This would actually be a good idea. Anyone willing to set it up?
If someone have moto maxx and check files whats changes in unlocking bootloader and try change in droid turbo too.
I have some ideas for bootloader unlock. They're probably really stupid, but bear with me. Like OP, I'm no developer, just an Android enthusiast with basic knowledge of the inner workings.
So the Moto Maxx US (XT1250) and Droid Turbo (XT1254) are essentially the same device, right? They essentially have the same specs, same hardware, software, and they both work on CDMA carriers like Verizon. The only difference is that the Maxx's bootloader is not locked by Verizon. So here are a few ideas pertaining to that.
***NOTE: It has to be the XT1250 variant
Idea A:
1. XT1250 Maxx user uses "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" or goes through WinDroid to get the unlock key
2. Key is given to a Turbo user
3. Turbo user uses "fastboot oem unlock <maxx_key>
4. Profit
Idea B (risky):
1. Turbo user downloads XT1250 system .img
2. User flashes to Turbo using RSDlite or MOFO (not sure which would work better, if at all)
3. Use WinDroid to unlock BL, root, and install a custom recovery
4. Profit
Yes, yes, I know...they are probably bad ideas, but we must consider every possibility!

These wouldn't work. Good start on ideas, though.
Thanks!
Just a quick n00b question, why wouldnt flashing the xt1250 img work?

The phone data itself (IMEI and stuff) is still the same, so the unlock data generated would still be the same, meaning Motorola would still reject it.
Was shown this as potential ways to head towards bl unlock. Leaving it here for greater minds to dissect.

Unless I'm mistaken, that would only help with a bootloader bypass. Trust me. Unlocks are better than bypasses.

The kernel source code for a50mldtul is at htcdev
There's this one I flashed. Seems to be working fine. It can backup. Haven't tried restoring or installing zip though.
CWM
Isn't this the greatest breakthrough for our phone
Oh , May be i will start work on a rom
PS ,, Give me a link to our source code and How u did unlock the bl
I'm not sure how I unlocked it. I remember trying to unlock it at htcdev.com and using kingo htc bootloader unlock but I wasn't successfull. I don't know maybe it's still locked.
At htcdev there are kernel source codes with a50mldtul name under Desire 820 dual sim. But again I'm not if sure they are for Desire 820s.
You can get the CWM I flashed here

I just got my phone last month and did the OJ5 update not realizing it was locked. I was on ATT Note 2 for years and years and never got to try a Dr Ketan's ROM. Pissed with the new locked bootloader.
So I'm ODIN flashing to full COJ5.
Will back up efs, param, pit and whatever else I can think of and give it a shot.
Obviously it seems to simple to work.
I did a compare yesterday on the pre-locked 5.1.1 bootloaders and the locked one.
I saw a few things in there that were different and I modified them in the locked one.
My edited one flashed so I was surprised. But I tried to downgrade and it didn't work..... So what I changed didn't make a difference. Yet ! :laugh:

Agree.
I'm really having no issues with 5.1.1.
I'm with you, it was more of a challenge to see if it could be done. CM 13 seems to be moving along so that may take the desire to flash back to lessen. Take care. I'll be around
