How To Revert Back To Previous State? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Is there anyway to go back to a previous state because I just lost everything from going back to stock rom and I thought it backed up on my external sd card but it didn't and I lost everything, so is there anyway to go back to previous state?

Without a cwm backup, no.

It is possible you did backup your previous state, but CWM is looking in the wrong place. Check both your internal and external SD for the backup. If you find it, copy it to your PC to be safe, then move it to the other SD card and see if CWM sees it.

Good call, if you have started using rogue recovery, which is very similar to cwm, rogue stores it in recursive sdcard folders (just follow the sdcard path as far as you can go)

Best way to clean up SD card?

I have a lot of random residual files from who knows where in my SD card, probably leftovers from unclean uninstalls. I just want to know what is the best way of determining which files are safe to delete, and what is the easiest way to delete like all the random junk on your SD card without having to go to rootexplorer and manually doing it yourself.

Well you can backup your main files from sd and then format your sd card

That's what I would do. take off your important files/photos/etc. and then format the SDcard.

I third this option. My G2 came with a bunch of stuff on the SD card so when I rooted my phone I just copied everything on the SD card onto my computer and then formatted it and then let the phone create what it needed. If there was something the phone needed I just copied it from the backup onto the SD card.
Thanks, but how do I know what stuff to include back into the phone?
So, from my understanding:
Step 1: Drag everything from SD card to PC.
Step 2: Titanium backup?
Step 3: Reformat? (And how do I do that?)
Step 4: ? ? ?
Titanium Backup only backs up whats on the phones internal memory, not the SD card. So you can do that if you wish but I don't see how using it has any bearing on cleaning your SD card. If you have a SD card to USB adapter then use that to copy all your stuff off the SD card onto the computer then just format the SD card with your computer. If you don't have the adapter, then plug your phone into your computer and copy everything over. Then reboot into recovery and then format the SD card from there or you can do it from within Android by going to Settings -> Storage -> Erase SD card.

I just want my current apps and contacts to be saved.
I guess my question is, if I wipe out everything on my SD, will my apps still function and will my contacts still be there?

yes but thats only for nandroid backups
so in order for me to keep my nandroid backup I would need to copy that folder into my newly wiped sd, and as for titanium backup, i should be good to go, cuz they are internal?

You should copy your nandroid backups to your computer before formatting, then copy them back afterwards if you will be needing to restore from them.
As far as Titanium Backup, they're by default backed up to the SDcard also, you should copy these over or sync it up to dropbox (via the app).

[Q] Titanium Backup.zip question

When I save a Titanium Backup.zip, is that backing everything including the programs and data NOT on the SD card? In otherwords, if I want to make a back up of just the sd card contents if I want to change/upgrade my card, do I just copy the entire sd card to my PC and after formatting the new card just copy everything back? If I use the Titanium Backup.zip won't that wipe over everything and not just the sd card right?

Are you talking about creating an 'update.zip' from Titanium Backup? Assuming this is what you're referring to, though I've never done it, I think all it does is enables you to install TB from CWM directly. I wish most ROMs would just include TB, but since not everyone uses it I understand why they don't.
I don't think this makes a backup of anything really, but I could be wrong. If you want to back everything up, that's where you can nandroid. If you want to backup everything on your SD card, then the steps you stated about copying to a PC are probably your best bet.
Just backup your sd card on a PC, format the new card in the phone (for best compatibility). Then restore everything back onto it from the PC.

Yeah, it starts out as an "Update.zip" but I choose the "Titanium Backup.zip" option. Huh! I did't know that it was only making a backup of Titanium Backup.

I'm not 100% on that, but based on what I read in that option, that's what it sounds like to me. The purpose would be a way for you to restore all your apps if you're lacking a data connection when you flash something new or wipe anything. Chances are slim, but I reckon they're there. If you don't have a data connection, there is no way to download TB and use it to restore anything else...
EDIT: I guess one way to find out would be to make that zip and see how big the file is. If it's only a few megs, then it's just TB. If it's more than that, like over 80ish, then you know it's quite a bit more than just the one app.

Someone please please help!! I think i just lost everything!

Ok I have made the stupidest and idiotic attempt to upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.1 jelly bean on GSM Galaxy Nexus.
Basically, my phone was already rooted and unlocked, so I made a nandroid copy and off I went into recovery mode, trying to install the yakju zip file to manually update the firmware.
After I installed it and rebooted, it seems like it wasn't installed on some sort of internal storage that was only 66mb and I have lost my SD card and no user settings can be saved onto it. I realised this because if I went into recovery mode again and reboot normally, I will have to go through the initial setup all over again!!! At this point, if I tried to go back to nandroid copy, I could have done so easily.
BUT I made the mistake of trying to wipe all user data again and now everything on my SD card has been wiped out, including my nandroid copy and the ability to restore my nandroid back up!!! So if i tried to flash clockwork recovery image and restore, there is nothing in there for me to restore.... and I don't have access to the 13gb SD storage from phone or computer!!
Someone please help??!! At least I just want my old ICS system back!

I'm not sure if this will work but it's the first thing I'd try.
You seem to have wiped your internal SD card so I would try to use an undelete tool like "Recuva" from your PC. Reboot the phone and skip any setup options - you want to minimise the writing of anything onto your internal SD card so hopefully the nandroid backup file won't be overwritten.
Plug the phone into your PC and mount the internal SD card as a drive on your PC and then run Recuva on it.
Good luck.

[Q] Deleting Nandroid from Internal SD card.

Hello everyone, I am new to rooting and accidentally installed a nandroid to my internal sd card while trying to put it on my external sd card. I plugged my phone into my computer and deleted the backup files from the Clockwork folder. For some reason though, it keeps showing on my phone in Miscellaneous files that Clockwork mod recovery is taking up a little less than 2gb. Can someone help me fix this?
Thanks in advance!

When you plug into the computer you will see:
Phone (This is really the internal sdcard)
Sdcard (This is the external sdcard)
If you want to get them off the internal sdcard you need to delete them from the phone folder and leave them in the sdcard folder.

I'd familiarize yourself with a file explorer like esfile explorer (best one imo) and you can delete these backups on your phone from your phone, doesn't matter if it's on the internal sd or external sd.

I use twrp but I still have my stock rooted rom saved with cwm, unless you deleted the folder it should be in the clockworkmod folder
Ok everyone so it seems that I deleted the backup but CWM is still taking up 1.6gb of internal storage. Is this normal, or is this the nandroid I deleted that is still showing?
Newer versions of cwm also store other data (cont remember the name of the folder) to support incremental backups. Maybe that is still there?

That's too much data to be residual, I'd say your backup is in a folder some place in the internal sd

Where should I check?
Idk where it would be if not in the cwm folder, did you try rebooting your phone just to be sure it didn't go tard on you after you deleted it and is now giving you a false reading?
Something I was thinking about is just wiping my internal and external sd card to start fresh. What effect would this have on my root and unlocked bootloader?
OK so I found the problem. I never deleted the blobs files. This is what is taking up so much space. Is it safe to delete these files?
EDIT: I went into CWM recovery and selected free nandroid space and it deleted the blobs not associated with a backup.

Ahh good a happy ending
Yup. The blobs. That is the incremental data that I was talking about before. That is what the new version of cwm uses to avoid duplicating data in successive backups.

Need help ASAP

A little while back I posted a thread asking the following.
"Just recently rooted my friend's GN2, I transfered the files to the SD card and went into CWM recovery. I'm having 2 issues.
1: The phone says there's not enough room to make a backup when there clearly is. I have about 2 gigs on the internal, but but it either says I have 3mb of free space or 0.
2: I click 'install from SD' and the only file it sees is "-clockworkmod/ ".
What am I doing wrong? I personally have an S2 and it's very similar but these two things are preventing me from flashing any rom"
The only person to respond recommended I format the sd card so I did so. However the phone still did not recognize any files in the sd card so I couldn't flash any rom. Upon startup it began boot looping and the phone is no longer activated? It can't make calls or send texts and reboots every minute upon ' failed activation'. The phone currently is useless. I'm not new to flashing roms I've been doing it for years but this is the first time I'm stumped thanks to some bad advice (not blaming that person) and it's not even my phone. Luckily I just got an htc one and I could give my friend the my s2 until the problem is fixed...any ideas how to fix it? Or unroot at least to bring in for repair?

The only thing I can suggest is doing a quick format on the SD card to FAT32, especially if the card is a 64 GB card. Also, some Sandisk 64 GB cards were bad from the factory, so check that too. Finally, if all else fails, try breaking the phone even more to the point it won't even boot and get a replacement.

Don't come up with one. Just take it in and show them. Before you take it in, if you can, try to reset the flash counter. If they can check that and see it isn't correct, you're in trouble. If it's reset or it can't be checked, then take it in.

Ok...what files did you transfer to the sd card? Was it the internal or external? Even 2 gigs on the internal for a backup may not be enough. I have a backup that is just over 3 gigs. As far as formatting your external sd what did you do ? Fat32? Personally TWRP is the way to go. Try to format fat 32, download a stock rooted TW rom and put on external sd, also dl TWRP recovery to external sd. Boot into cwm recovery and try to flash twrp. If that works out pull battery put back in volume up+home+power. Hopefully that gets you to twrp, if so go to wipe then factory reset. If you click on advanced it will let you wipe system which couldn't hurt. After that, back arrow on bottom of screen to twrp home screen. Click install...choose external then locate where rom is...hopefully on root of external and see if that helps.
Oh and was the phone activated prior to flashing?

Please do the following:
01). Format the SD card to FAT32 (NOT EXFAT OR NTFS) on ANOTHER computer and do NOT use the built in windows format options. Use a third party tool like guiformat.exe and do NOT USE QUICK FORMAT. (With my current sd card, windows format failed, guiformat.exe partially failed(and by failed I mean formatted fine but caused problems being seen) but I installed and used eausus partition master to regular format it to fat32 and followed the next few steps and its been working fine ever since.
02). Immediately after formatting the SD card slow format to fat32 in easus partition master create a text file on the sd card in its root directory (I've had an issue before where my SD card would not be seen or writable by certain devices if the root directory was 100% empty), before you copy any further files insert the SD card into the phone and use your recovery kernel(CWM/TWRP) to navigate to the root directory of the sd card and insure that you can in fact see the text file you created, POWER OFF THE PHONE(or alternatively unmount it in android terminal if possible) before removing or inserting the SD card(also always eject from the PC before removing, do not just rip it out off the usb slot/card reader), insert the SD card back into your PC/card reader and copy TWRP to the sd card.
03). Boot back into your current recovery and Install TWRP(if it's not already) you may prefer CWM but TWRP just causes people a lot less bugs in general.
04). Verify in the backup section of TRWP that you have explicitly selected external storage as the backup location and given the backup a name, as internal storage is selected by default, and you very well may not have enough free internal storage for the backup, regardless of whatever reasons you think you should.
05). Its probably a good idea to turn off md5 verification of the backup, I do this every time, the one time I did try to verify a backup with an md5 checksum it failed, I unchecked this option backed up restored to it and all was fine(and still is), also a good idea to uncheck md5 when installing roms/kernels/apk's as most don't have md5.
05). If the above does not work you probably have a bad SD card, try another and post back here.

There is
no external sd card in the phone. Just a 16g internal, and I've wiped pretty much everything so there shouldn't be a problem with room. I'll go out and buy an external and attempt to flash something.

Thanks. The problem is that the phone boot loops so fast that I can't stick anything on the internal. And the one time it was on long enough to, the phone still reads that there's no files there. It's why I'm in this mess in the first place, I don't know why it's not recognizing any files

If you wiped everything then you might have wiped the partitions by accident. Get an ext sd card put flashable rom on that then boot into your custom recovery and try flashing the ROM through that

That seems like the best thing...won't the phone still rely on the internal sd card though and keep bootlooping?

Odining back to stock is prooobably your best bet. No need to go through repair fees or restocking fees etc. When you can fix it in house.

It should not rely on the internal. Download mode is deep down in the bootloader. If you borked that then jtag or sending it to samsung/asurion is the only option.

Try a stock rooted rom and see if it works. Because it should at least give you the boot.img in the rom so you might be able to get past the boot screen. Hopefully it will re partition your phone. Im not for sure but its worth a shot.
