So I want to flash a CM9 ROM to just have fun with, but I also want to keep my Darkside as an emergency backup cause it's completely stable and I have it exactly how I want it. So what I'm asking is if I made a backup up my Darkside, could I rename it Darkside with a file explorer or does that break the back up? Our is there any certain kinda things I have to have with the name when I rename it?

Nope. You can actually use from manager to rename them if your not confident.

Hello,
I was wondering is someone could walk me through how to change the boot loader on the SGH T-989 please?
Thank you,
Bella.
Why would you want to change it? The bootloader is already unlocked and only displays for about 1 second at most, not to mention the risks of flashing the bootloader.

Or you could install ROM Toolbox. Its super easy that way
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Depends ROM toolbox didn't change the animation it just created it for me I made my own and sound use root explore w/r but make sure you download a file converter on the market it will convert it to the same file type change it to the same that is in the rename it to boot animation

Question...im kinda new to flashing roms etc..im having a issue with backing up my roms...everytime i back one up and tey to go back to it it will not let me, i get a md5 error everytime..can some one please tell me what im doing wrong??
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Are you renaming the saved roms in a file manager? That can cause the md5 error. Second suggestion would be to do ur backups via recovery and skip doing it thru the app.
Sent from GalaxyS2 using xda premium
No, I have not renamed them at all. I save it and move on. I will try the other way and see. Its not a huge deal because i can re-flash it i just hate having to set it all back up..thanks ill try it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
check your storage memory
Backup in recovery skip the app it just causes more problems. I haven't used it in a couple years now.

Yes.
And when you restore a backup, go thru recovery just the same way as you did the backup.

All you have to do is to change your mount from r/o to r/w. R/W = ReWrite.
Just like CD-Rs and CD-RWs.

Some actually like the more subtle and simple bootanimation. Clean and Simple the "Google Way"... None of that flashy bootani stuff.

Sorry for the noob question. I was wondering, if I rename my nandroid backups, will I still be able to restore them? When I had my Photon, I would get all the way to the end of restoring a Nandroid backup and it would fail. It did it for all my renamed backups. Just was wondering if it's the same for the GS3?

Don't leave any spaces in the file name and you should be fine.

Should be AFAIK, linux just tends to stumble on spaces in file names if you don't escape them. I always follow the name scheme of ROMX.DATE so for cm10 I have CM10.8.31.2012, hope that helps.

Just checked my backups and I noticed that all the backups have the same date (something like 01-01-1970). Anyway to fix this? I guess I'll just have to reflash them all until I find my stock image, but after that at least there has to be a fix... right?
I'm running CM10.

There is no way to get the proper time on your existing backups but this may help you in the future. I have not tried it yet.

so you can change the full name of backups and the md5 will match up?

just rename the main folder, no spaces in the filename, keep it around 8 spaces and you should be OK...
