Just making sure just need a quick yes or no

Ok so I just got my phone fully rooted woah took awhile hit some speed bumps but thankfully trucked through it!
Ok here is my information I used toasts 2 part method
So is this all correct am I good to go start playing with custom ROMS or no?
Firm version
2.1 Update
Base Band
1.39.00.05.31
Kernal
2.6.29-a2443432
build number (dont think you need this do you?)
software
1.32.651.1
Also how do I get apps that are not from the market the apk files I googled it but didnt reveal much
thanks

well, to test that your nand is unlocked you can use terminal emulator or connect to your pc, use adb shell and use this command: remount rw
if that works your nand is unlocked and yes you should be good to go.
As for the apk files, which ones were you looking for?

well bad news I opened the command bar on my pc typed in
adb shell
remount rw
it said error damnit what did I do wrong
Everything went like the IDIOT proof guide said lol
anyway apk files I dont know is there a place to browse them? Or whats good how do I find some?
sorry still learning trying to learn fast
thanks again!
so do i have to unroot and re root again??
or?
also if so how do I unroot?

sorry, when you are in adb shell type:
su
remount rw
As for the app's.... I am still a little confused what you are asking, but all the apps can be browsed on the phone from the market app. I dont think you can browse the market from your pc

I just heard there were different apks out there that are not in the market? I dunno I can search that later though.
ok so i pulled up adb
typed in
adb shell
su
(it copied su)
remount rw
remount rw
:remount not found

I thought it was
Code:
adb remount rw
Try that. If it works, you are ready to flash ROMs. You don't have to have NAND unlocked to flash ROMs, it prevents errors with certain ROMs though.

that would make sense! I was working from the terminal emulator on my phone

what did I just do LOL
P.S. Thanks!
P.S. I was looking at a different ROM and it has a different base band does this matter for me to use it or not?

you will just have to update your radio to match the baseband. There should be a link in the post to the corresponding radio or something.
Flashing a radio is just like flashing a rom, minus the wiping. So if you can get the rom to flash you should have no trouble upgrading the radio

Yeah I followed the link for the radio and it said it was the latest one clearly there is an update I did a search but cannot find any others ones.
Can someone point me to the right direction?
Also I followed Part 1 and 2 so my NAND should be unlocked/rooted right?
I really want to get rid of those dumb sprint things.
Thanks very much cant thank you enough for helping me!

No problem.
What you did was remount the protected areas of the file system to be writeable. You can delete, write, or move system files and such in this mode, so if that worries you you can always just
Code:
adb remount ro
And there you go, it is read only again.

Woah thats awesome so how do I delete the sprint things I know there has to be a guide some where =P
Also if I delete the sprint things and then run a different rom will they come back?

almost all custom roms will remove these. Its only the stock rooted roms that leave them in

Ok last question(s)
1) where can I get the latest up to date Radio?
2) What is a good custom ROM to start with I think I am running fresh right now.
Once again THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! for your help both of you!!

If you flash a different ROM they usually come back.
A handy way to remove Sprint .apks is to use Titanium Backup or Root Explorer. If you want to use adb, just remount it as rw and do something like this
Code:
rm /system/app/Sprint_TV.apk
Sprint apps include:
Sprint_NASCAR.apk
Sprint_Navigation.apk
Sprint_NFL.apk
Sprint_TV.apk
Sprint_TVWidget.apk
Some ones you may need to keep are:
Sprint_VVM.apk <- Voicemail App
WifiRouter.apk <- Sprint's HotSpot Program (Replace it with Wifi Tether in the marketplace)
Just make sure you don't remove anything you need.

1) Here is a link to the latest radios.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
They should all flash correctly.
2) There are so many great custom ROMs out. Baked Snack is nice, and it is themed. DamageControl has so many features it is mind-blowing. Fresh is a good ROM, too.
You can flash one a day until you find one you like. It is really up to the individual.

I feel dumb now what is winmax?

wimax is for your 4g
yes, when you can switch between roms, although you always make sure you wipe! it is very important so you dont get weird errors or boot loops.
Have you heard of nandroid backup and restore? In the example you mentioned, if you were trying a new rom and you might want to go back to what you had previously, you could do a nandroid backup then flash the new rom, and if you didn't like it then you could do a nandroid restore instead of re-flashing the previous rom

yes very little I think I made 3 how do I delete them sense we are on that topic now LOL
Im kinda iffy on how to create on though

They are stored on your sd card. Its super easy to use, when you are in your recovery just choose the option backup/restore (or something similar) and choose which you want to do, and that's all there is too it!
If you are sure you are not going to need the backups, just go the your sd card and there should be a folder called nandroid or the like, and you can delete the folder inside corresponding to your backup. -- Although for best practice you should keep one backup from an image you know worked, just in case you ever mess up you will have at least one restoration image.

I think these folders will allow apps that haven't been updated to find the proper files. Have you updated CWM/TWRP? I updated CWM prior to making the switch and i don't have these folders. You COULD revert back to 4.1.x, update your recovery, and then flash 4.2 ROM.

I flashed before the CWM update, but I have it now.
I superwiped before the first load of 4.2 and load a ROM with GAPPS.
So should I need anything in there, or does this maybe protect for Apps that haven't been updated to 4.2?

i've noticed that some of my torrent files have been downloading into this folder and can't access them from my PC... any fix to that?

[SOLVED] [Q] CM10.1 / JB 4.2.+ ROM File Management - /0 Folders - FRUSTRATING!!!

Hi All,
I am currently running the Jellybeer v3.52 ROM which is CM10.1 / JB 4.2.+ based and I was having an issue with the CWM that I was using not being able to restore my NAND backups which I have since fixed but my biggest issue now is apparently the way that CM10.1 / JB 4.2.+ manages files... Let me explain...
After every time I flash a new ROM or restore a NAND backup there is a new "folder" being created that shows as /0 and ALL of my information continuously gets "buried".
I now have THREE /0 folders apparently which are viewable via CWM, File Explorers and when I connect my device to my computer and I just don't know what to do with them to get rid of them and to stop this from continuing as it keeps adding a new folder EVERYTIME I flash something. I don't know if I should be deleting them or trying to merge them all together as I have pictures and data in 2 of the 3 folders that show and in the gallery for example, all pictures and things show up but there are double folders that say "saved" and "downloaded", etc because it is saving them to different /0 folders.
Can anyone PLEASE give me some advice on what to do.
Thanks in advance...

This will somehow fix my issue with having all of these /0 folders? I have already fixed my NAND restore issue by flashing an up to date CWM that supports CM10.1 / JB 4.2.+ ROMS but now I want to get rid of these /0 folders. Can you clarify on this and also... is TWRP compatible with 4.2.+ / CM10.1 ROMS?

No my friend... If you read the post, I have already FIXED my NAND issue by flashing a CM10.1 / JB 4.2.+ supported CWM recovers so now I am ABLE to restore my NAND's. What I want to find out now is how to get rid of / stop all of these new /0 folders from being created on my device after I flash ANYTHING.
Example... I flash a ROM and a new /0 folder is created. I restore my NAND and a new /0 folder is created. I flash a NEW ROM and yet another /0 folder is created, etc, etc, etc... All of these /0 folders are messing up where apps store their data, where my files and pictures are being saved to, etc and I want to know how to get rid of all of these /0 folders and how to STOP them from creating every time I flash something.

Flash stock rom. 4.2 will make a 0 folder every time.
Flash stock rom and recover data from 0 folder.
If you are talking about re flashing fresher nightly, you gotta wipe sdcard every time.
Also if you want to use phone for normal usage, don't use cm.

This is not true my friend. See below for a reply I received from the "porter" of the ROM I am using right now - JellyBeer which is CM10.1 / JB4.2.+ based and he does NOT have this issue - nor do a lot of other people... See below...

I've now flashed about 6 different versions of 3.53 and never had those extra '0' folders. I even have a backup of the MIUI rom which is 4.1.1 which I restored used for a while and then restored Jellybeer again and still didn't get any extra folders.

Well HOLY MOLY I almost dont believe it... FINALLY I have a proper flash with NO extra / random /0 folders being created on my device!!!
So... What I've learned here and what I can recommend to anyone else who may be experiencing the issue I had is to ensure you update to the newest CWM that says it supports JB 4.2.+ ROMS like the one from here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000138 and then what I did was go to Settings> Storage> Misc Files and delete anything there that says "0". From there in the Settings Menu go to Personal> Backup and Reset> Reset all data and Format the device (yes you will lose info from your device so BACKUP before you do this). Now reboot to CWM and do a wipe cache, wipe dalvik and then wipe data/factory reset.
You will now have a FRESH starting point with NO traces of any 4.1.2 ROMS on the device and you can / should NOW be able to do as I did and flash as normal without these /0 folders being created any longer!
I believe after all of this that the issue was / is caused by trying to flash from 4.1.2 ROMS to 4.2.+ ROMS using an incompatible CWM like the chenglu v6.0.1.5 which is the one I used to ODIN Root and add CWM in one step so the real key here is to ensure you have a compatible CWM as I mentioned above.
Hope this may help others who are suffering with this issue!!!

Hi I have exactly the same issue. Ive read how you solved it and have followed the same link but it seems to be for N7100. I am using GT-I9300 and am running Omega rom (latest version, 46.1). I have flashed a few roms today and have come back to omega since I like the samsung rom, but oh dear now there are a sh*tload of /0 folders just like you described. each time i flash it makes a new one ontop and uses it instead to store data etc. Do you think the CWM from your link will do the trick for me, or do I need one for I9300?

I did the same and not sure but are you supposed to have two 0/ folder. I had three but now after running your fix above I only show one 0 folder under the emulated folder.. I also see a legacy folder with a 0 folder under it.. Is this normal. I'm using a TF101 Asus Transformer Tablet.

/0 folder after flashing!
Does anybody know how to make it so that the ROM flashes without making a /0 subfolder? Data form my previous ROM stays on the SD Card root, while the new ROM gets flashed into the /0 folder. The stuff on the root menu takes up space, so I'd like to install Paranoid Android on the root of my HTC One's SD Card. Any suggestion?

Upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.2.X Fail...

So I attempted to upgrade my girlfriend's Galaxy Nexus from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 (this is on Verizon. Was using a Xenon HD version from last August and attempted to update to the newest version).
Well, since I'm an idiot, I didn't read up on the file system changes and now I can't figure out how to get everything working properly. I have the sdcard/0 now and haven't been able to move the files over from sdcard/0 to the sdcard.
All I want to do at this point is just restore a nandroid backup and start over from scratch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.... I'm also having driver issues, so if there's any way to do this without using ADB, that would help immensely.
Thanks in advance.

The SDcard/0 is supposed to exist. Take 10 minutes to do the tiniest bit of searching and all your problems will solve themselves.

can you boot into recovery? what do you mean you cant get things working properly

Yeah I can get into recovery but when I try to restore nandroid it says there are no files, and I know there is a backup.

I did a half hour of searching, but thanks for the help. I must not be searching for the right thing....

so can the phone turn on? or can you only boot into recovery

slimb9 said:

Yeah I can turn it on. Gapps didn't install, though, so I don't have a keyboard and can't install goomanager from the play store to update recovery. I also can't move files in the file manager because it times out very time.

if you still have the old xenon rom .zip file on the phone you could just flash that after wiping/clearing everything. then from there boot into recovery and see if you can see your nandroid backup of the old xenon she was on. not sure if this will help but worth a try. looks like the new xenon rom required a full wipe so something may be messed up that you could fix by flashing an older version

As 063_XOBX said, sdcard/0 is supposed to exist. Considering your comment later in the thread about not being able to find old backups, it sounds like you have an outdated recovery that doesn't understand the new file structure. Update your recovery rather than screwing with Google's intended file structure.

What driver issues? You haven't been overly clear with the actual problems that you're having. You said you had a problem with Gapps. Why not download and flash a Gapps package?

Question about the recovery.
Whenever i boot into recovery on my galaxy s4 it only has these options
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apple update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

How can i flash a rom from this or is there something i can do to get a better recovery?

I do not think you have flashed a recovery. Are you sure you are rooted? Can use a root checker from a market.
Secondly, download either Rom manager (if you want cwm) or goo manager (if you want twrp) and use those to download your recovery.

Yeah it worked thanks a lot!

I have made a nandroid back up of my phone (stock backup) but I can't seem to find it. I had an S3 and that was a simple find but now, I am lost. Can anyone help me locate it??

Which recovery did you use? If you used CWM it may be kind of hidden a bit...check under /storage/emulated. I don't remember the folder names, but right now I've only got 0 and legacy. I believe there were a few other folders in there, one of which had my CWM backup.

I am using CWM and i checked the folder, I do have something but it's only like 9 mb. Is that really the size of a fresh stock back up? I was expecting way bigger. I also think it's not right because I only have a 0.92GB left and my storage is really low. I have about 4.08GB of apps and everything else is inder 120MB in the Device Memory Storage list..

No, a full backup of a TW based ROM will be 2+GB.
Not the prettiest way to do it, but open a terminal emulator, and run the following commands. The first will request root access, make sure to grant it.
Code:
su
du | sort -n -r | head -n 40
This will give you the top 40 directories with the most data in them. There will be repeats, but it should give you a starting place to look. Somewhere in there should be some backups...
If you aren't sure how to interpret the results, run the following instead and post the output here and I'll try to help! It will output everything to the du.txt file in /storage/sdcard0.
Code:
su
du | sort -n -r | head -n 40 > /storage/sdcard0/du.txt

I have a question. I was running rooted stock until yesterday. My brother in law showed me how to flash an AOKP ROM. Spent the night configuring, settings, apps, etc. I want to back up this configuration and get back to rooted stock. I'm pretty sure he backed that up before he flashed this ROM. How do I go about doing it? I have ROM Manager installed and CWM ...
I'm good with command lines, and Linux so I'm not afraid to experiment. But I ideally want to be able to dual boot this S4, or easily flash back and forth between AOKP and stock. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Lease don't ask the same question in multiple threads. I answered this question in one of the other places you asked.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

I'm sorry. I wasn't sure I was I the correct thread for the question.
