Rogue recovery - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I just made backup with rogue recovery and I can't find it anywhere. This happened one more time but I wasn't paying attention thinking that maybe I was wrong. Whole process finished without errors but I can't locate backup anywhere.

Check yoir sd card

I did, it's not there. I have 3 old backups (one stock and other when I installed Calkulin rom, and last with loaded app), but no current one.

Could be a bad SD card. Had that before with an old card. Had spotty performance, sometimes would just make files vanish

Hope not. This is a 5 day old 32GB sd card. Never happened that files disappears just with this recovery. I just flashed new rom and I will try again.
Edit: It worked, I do see backup via recovery but I have no idea where is located.

and you checked in the clockworkmod folder on the sd card or internal storage? there should be a folder called backup and that's where they are located. If it's rogue recovery, then it's on the SD card. CWM recovery puts them on the internal storage

dafluke24, it took me a little playing around and pulling my hair to figure that out myself. Some devs like different recoveries. When flashing you may end up with a new recovery. Should be stickied for noobs (may already be). Thanks for an old school informative XDA answer.

Glad I could help out. The way I learned it by going through all the folders lol Eventually it just made sense to me since CWM = clockworkmod. Go figure
Rogue recovery does have an option to put the backups on the internal storage as well, so that's a good thing if your SD card is full of mp3s and movies like mine is.

You were right, sd card is going bad. I am mad because I use this card for 5 days only. Got it from ebay (in original packaging) and give'd good review to seller already.

Just run test and looks like bad or fake card. Also instead of 32 GB it shows 28GB ?
I did several testing and results are always same. If there is any data on card test fails, and if card is formated test returns with no error (see attachments)

yea I've been burn by fake or bad cards on ebay many times myself. It will show full capacity,but you can only copy like a few gigs to it. everything else written on the card will show up but be un-usable. For this reason I stopped buying memory cards on ebay and only from legit websites like newegg or buy.com.
Way too much fake stuff out on ebay and you're not sure if you're getting the real thing or some crap.
Sucks to hear that about your situation

Thank you, I look positive way on it (didn't loose much of data on it). Anyway I will get new one from other source. What is top price I should pay for 32 GB, and which brand I should chose?

I've seen 32gig card go for under $30 so no more than that. I've had success on many different brands: sandisk, kingston, adata, patriot, transcend, etc. I would avoid the no name cards as you're not sure what they are.
Just a quick search pulled up this Patriot sd card for $29 free shipping.

If you're a stickler on class speeds, this is a class 10 card. I personally don't care about write speeds as long as it works and doesn't give me problems.

I don't care about speed, but had bad experience with Kingston (lost very important 200-300 pictures after card died with no eason). Thanks for your help!

FYI,
I have a Patriot 32GB Class 10 card but have issues with it. It will occasionally suffer some corruption and go into read-only mode. Luckily I have not lost any data yet as far as I can tell. Supposedly there is an issue with Android and Class 10. Wonder if others are experiencing this and if there is any "cure".

I've had my patriot class 10 for a month and had zero issues with it. It's not a class 10 thing, it's a bad card thing. I read a lot of bad card reviews on newegg when I bought mine and only bought it after reading that buyers that had a bad card had no problem with returns or exchanges.
I'm receiving a Patriot 32gb sdcard today and moving to the Synergy 3.0 rom. The only files and folders I want to move over are the files needed for my phone and my nandroid backup. Is there a list of essential files and folders? I'm not worried about saving my apps, just want a base sdcard.

If you're switching to a new ROM you probably aren't concerned with saving app settings and such. If that is the case then you don't need to do anything other than copying over your nandroid.
I'd suggest formatting the new card from recovery to include swap and ext in case you ever want to use those partitions then mount the card from recovery, copy the files over and flash your new ROM.

I have a Patriot and a PNY branded 16G C10 and they have performed well. Transcend doesn't like the ext-ext3 from reviews and same with the one I had.
Your questions seem to have been answered already, but on a side note: If you can remember to treat the phone as any other external storage device you want to keep error free (or at least help prevent errors). Try to disable/disconnect from the computer first, before switching modes on your phone. Otherwise its just like taking the usb cable out of the computer while the external device still has communication. I know...it will usually be OK...usually..just sayin...have fun with the new card.
Also recommend doing the partition so that its there from the start, you don't want to have to copy all your stuff down the road with that size of a card!

Yes, but when you restore you might have to do advance restore and restore all the partitions that way.

And thus the Catch22 of saving backups to internal or external storage...
If its on internal storage, and your phone dies, you are out of luck...
I personally keep a copy on my external, yes... but then I also make a copy of the backup that I keep on my laptop... That way I know that that I can always move it to a new SD card and have access to it.

yup, this is what I do also. A general rule of thumb is to have 2 copies of your back up in different, physical locations.

Depends on the quality of your DVD and the burner... most consumer-written DVD-R's are only reliable for a couple years (3-5) before oxidation starts messing with the data.
Same with CD's... 1 of 5 music CD's (Memorex or Verbatim) that I burn (usually no faster than 8x) last about a year with regular use before they start skipping.
Not that a PHONE backup would be useful even a month later...
I would buy special archive-quality DVD's if you are storing family pics on them. I wouldn't trust them on a disc from a 100 disc platter that cost $20.

Questions about keeping my EVO alive for a while longer

As time goes on, my two year old EVO is just slow. So my question is sort of two parts. 1) is there any way to use a new sdxc card? I'd assume they'd work, though none are below 64 gigs. Is there any way to actually have the phone recognize the card even if all 64 gigs aren't? I've looked around, and I couldn't find any real answers to this. 2) with an sdxc card with ridiculous read write speeds, is it possible to go crazy and partition the card with 2 gigs free and use this in swap? If so I don't think I'd ever need to upgrade, but that seems too good to be true and I'm assuming it is. This is just my dumb thinking outloud, so any input would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure what an SDXC card is,i would guess a type of SD card,but it would be better to delete all of the crap on the SD card thats been present the whole time,which is whats slowing down your phone and probably the stuff on the internal as well,since you have 64GB,you can us 10 GB on the EXT and at least 2 GB on the swap.
I make a habit of formatting and repartitioning at least once a month.

[Q] Expanding Storage on Note 2

I have an unrooted International Note 2 (N7100). I really enjoy the device but the only problem is the 10GB internal memory and the inability of moving all data to SD card.
I have searched this issue and found that you can swap the storages but your device has to be rooted. Can anyone help me by:
A noob-friendly guide to rooting the Note 2 and what you need to know.
A guide on swapping the storage without corrupting files or the risk of it being bricked.
I hope you can help as I want to buy a 64GB SD and be able to make use of it and have freedom of memory space.
Anyone?

definately it works with custom rom but just go through op the rom if its supported or not as the script does not run fine with all rom and for kernel pongster redpill kernel works . there are other kernel too just need to go through the details of that kernel persues is there but i am not sure if it works just go through the thread of ext2sd which i link u will get info from many users using the script and it is recommended to format 64gb in fat32 so do a bit of reading before moving ahead
Is this something that is tricky or not?
Really. I want to know. I'm done with the Note 2 if I can't use the expandable storage option the way I assumed that I could.
I will go back to using the iPhone because I never had any problem with it in terms of what I could do with it in regards to what movies and music I put on there. For example,if I wanted to listen to a .flax recording, I just downloaded Flac Player (actual name) and side loaded the onto my device via iTunes.
All this time I thought that Apple was the control freak and that Android was the libertarian choice. Ha ha ha ha! The joke is on me.
I got this Note 2 and after rooting & roming, I've got 3 Gigs out of 16 and I don't even know where most of it is even allotted. Oh yeah,I know, I know. Everyone has their app that will fix this. Tried them all,I'm getting a bit cynical now.
I've got a genuine micro sd card in the phone external and it has a capacity of 32 Gb. When I move movies into it, then try to watch them, nothing. And if I try to transfer it to the internal storage, the movie still won't play. And the movies and music are getting deleted somehow along the way on both the internal and external cards.
Screw Mr Android Samsung (and Microsoft too), I want my iPhone back.

You should also take a look at folder mount in the play store. I found it more reliable to only move specific folders from the internal to external storage. The app itself is simple to use although it still requires root.

Its got to be a faulty micro SD card. I thought that if I bought one from a seller based out of the US everything would be fine as I got it off of eBay,
I'm going to swing by walmart later and get a name brand card.
With my current card, I'm hoping that its a faulty one. Because as it stands, if I try to transfer from either the internal storage to the external or vice versa,the information becomes corrupt and will no longer play.
Things should not be this difficult. Smart phones, phablets, all-in-ones, these things are computers more powerful than the ones used in the moon landing. Yet those of us that would love to at least try to use more of their potential are often hampered because of the greed involved in content providers and copyright bull**** and for the love of all that is holy, manufacturers should be neutral. They should not be in bed with content providers that are influencing the way the devices are made!!!
Can you imagine buying a brand new car and being told that it will only accept one brand of gasoline? Picture yourself buying a new car and finding out that ExxonMobile had a deal with the car maker so that the car would only accept their brand of fuel? You couldn't use Chevron, you couldn't use Sunoco or any of the other brands...
This is what's going on with the big companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Samsung...
I really don't get what you mean. You can use any brand of sd card you wish.
However, if you purchase from any non reliable supplier expect to buy a fake. I bought a 16gb card on Monday from amazon but I mistakenly bought it from their market place and I'm 99% sure it's fake. That's my error which is compounded by the fact that I normally only buy them from amazon direct for exactly this reason. That doesn't make it Samsung, apple, Microsoft, God or even Kenny Rodgers fault.
So, sorry but, I don't really get your point. But yes it does sound like you have a faulty card. Just be happy you have a note 2 and so are able to simply by a replacement.

I went and got another card at Walmart and it did turn out to be a faulty card that was causing the problem.
What I meant earlier when I talked about manufacturers being in bed with content providers was that when you get a certain product sometimes it will not do what you wanted to do because of dumb copyright laws.
I'm sure you're familiar with the problem that many smart phone owners have had in dealing with trying to transfer apps to an external card. This is because content providers do not want the apps that are for purchase to be traded off.
There are many instances where things like this happen every day and the technology world.

Ah Ok. I got ya now. Yes jb saw us unable to move the data to sd. I never knew the reason for it but now you've explained it it makes sense, thanks.
But I guess we are lucky to be on this forum as for us we can use directory bind or better still the memory swap mod.
Glad you got your sd card sorted.
In answer to your first question yes the memory swap mod does work. I've been using it for about a month. I used directory bind for about 3 months before that. That is alot more fiddly but you can move individual apps with it instead of everything.
Try flashing a custom rom with the mod baked in just because you can.

Seriously, lay of whatever it is you're smoking. Don't go blaming the phone because you don't know what you're doing - maybe you shouldn't be rooting if you aren't comfortable with what it implies.
The missing internal storage is likely because you flashed multiple times without wiping the underlying partitions. I had a similar issue using mobile odin. Try using the PC Version with a complete factory wipe from recovery first.

[Q] STarting to HATE my GN4 :(

I had the Galaxy Note 4 since released and I really should have stayed on Jellybean. I hate not having full access to my ExtSDCard and while I have tried Foldermount and custom roms (using Alliance Rom Currently)I still can't figure this out. 30gigs or 64gigs isn't enough storage for me. I leaned toward the Android devices because of the external option. Honestly I hate the phone now. Had I known this was going to be the route Android was going to to take, I would have made other choices. I have searched for fixes all over the internet, youtube, XDA and I can not find anything that helped. If there is anyone with a SPRINT NOTE 4, running Lollipop that has been successful in getting the external sd cards to work, Please let me know. I am ready to make this phone a very expensive door stop!
I know some of you will bash me for not searching I HAVE.
I know some won't agree, remember this is my personal experience.

I hate not having full access to my ExtSDCard and while I have tried Foldermount and custom roms (using Alliance Rom Currently)I still can't figure this out. 30gigs or 64gigs isn't enough storage for me. I leaned toward the Android devices because of the external option. Honestly I hate the phone now. Had I known this was going to be the route Android was going to to take, I would have made other choices. I have searched for fixes all over the internet, youtube, XDA and I can not find anything that helped. If there is anyone with a SPRINT NOTE 4, running Lollipop that has been successful in getting the external sd cards to work, Please let me know. I am ready to make this phone a very expensive door stop!
I know some of you will bash me for not searching I HAVE.
I know some won't agree, remember this is my personal experience.

What do you mean by not having full access to the ExtSDCard? I can do w.e I want on my sd card with Root Explorer, and if you need access for Titanium Backup then try this app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix&hl=en
hope it helps, cheers:fingers-crossed:

Ummm yeah, where to start. First it came with KitKat. this phone now is way more amazing on alliance with emotion kernel than when I got this phone on launch day. I've had zero and I mean zero problems on a custom lollipop rom moving anything around from a 128gig sd, especially alliance which is amazing. I can't possibly leave alliance ever and go back to the horrible colors of lollipop. My phone craps all over every other phone unless I were to run into someone that has a rooted/romed/kernel note 4 that has done as much to it as I have.... Still probably craps on it, LOL. KitKat had the problems with access to sd but that was fixable with root, but u didn't have to have a custom rom if u didn't want to. Lollipop corrected the sd limits that KitKat screwed up. I use folder mount but probably not what ur looking for. I use it because I have a lot of big games and the internal sd goes pretty quick so folder mount will move and link the big data folder for that game to the external sd.
Either u have some kind of hardware issue like maybe a fake sd card or something is wrong with the phones hardware and need an exchange, or should just go back to an iPhone.
SD Card not working on lollipop.... it could be damaged!

Thanks for the reply, while I also had the note 3, I am probably getting the OS confused. So yes, you are correct. The 4 did come with KitKat. Jellybean was the last OS I did not have SD card R/W issues with. I too love the Alliance rom, its fabulous but I cannot understand why my SD card refuses to work. I reformatted it and tried it with several other Roms just as well. I do know its a SanDisk 64gig which appears to be original. I will purchase a new one and give that a try. Although, I would like to think I wouldn't purchase a fake SD card, at least not intentionally.
Follow-Up: (4:46am): SO I tried an old SD Card SanDisk 16gigs and Whella!!! I use FX File Explorer and enabled Write Access and was able to create a new folder without issues. It is not an ULTRA XC card like the 64gb card but at least I know that it isn't the phones hardware and I also checked to ensure the 64gb was an original and from the videos I have reviewed it appears to be. It could very well be damaged. I placed the non-working sd card in my pc and I received a message "There is a problem with this drive fix & repair to prevent data loss" or something to that effect. I tried to run the repair program and it didn't work. I have chalked this experience up to "a damaged SD card"; however, I was able to copy everything on it to a folder on my PC and will be transferring it to a new card. I am interested in 128gb as well, if you can offer the brand you are having so much success with, I'd appreciate it.

Glad to here I figured out out. I have a 128 gig SanDisk with the highest r/w speed,. They made several versions so shop around.
I am stock Lollipop without root and X-plore file manager works perfect for me.
