fc's after restore nandroid - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hy
Before i flashed CM10.2 (Android 4.3) i had the original touchwizz (android 4.2) and did a nandroid backup of this.
Now i want back to touchwizz but when i restored. I get a lot of fc. (applications that closes)
Before the restore i wipped data and cache. After a dalvick wipe. What is wrong. Thanks

In my opinion its a wipe problem

Before restoring wipe system, data, cache and dalvik. Also move all files on internal storage to sdcard or somewhere else. Then wipe internal storage too. Then restore backup and move those files back to internal storage.

Thanks for the quick reply. If I format internal storage, do I need to move files from internal storage to ext sd card? The backup is on ext sd card.

Before restoring nandroid backup.... I recommend you to move all stuff u have on internal storage to your pc or ext sd card. Then format system, data , cache , dalvik and internal storage. Then restore backup. After it is done move that stuff back onto ur internal storage. Formatting internal storage is not needed everytime.
U just do it this time.

I did an advanced wipe, system, data, cache and dalvik and it never worked properly. This time I included internal storage when wiping and that fixed the restore problem. Thanks for the help.

CWM backup

I'm about to move to CM9.
When doing a backup in cwm does it backup the data on internal storage as well?
So when I wipe data cache dalvik etc.. If I move back to GB will it restore my data again?
I've done the backup to my external SD.
Thanks

doing backup will backup /system partition, /data partition, and /cache partition..
internal storage or internal sd? did you mean the apps that you've downloaded before? it's in internal storage (or in /data partition).. so it's automatically will be backup..
if internal sd card, no..
if you restore, yes, it will restore all your apps, contacts, etc.. BUT will not restore apps in external sd card that you moved before..
BEWARE: doing factory reset, will erase your app in external sd.. so if want to backup them, move to internal storage first (not internal sd)..
IMO, upping to CM9 without first clearing out both Internal and External SD will result in lots of niggling problems...
Rather, back up important stuff with Titanium, copy the folder to your PC, copy also important things not backed up by Titanium to your PC (e.g., photos in DCIM), and delete *everything* in the SD Card (internal and external) using CWM.
So, here are the steps that I'm planning to do:
1. Copy important contents of internal SD to SD card
2. Perform FULL Titanium Backup
3. Power off, remove SD Card
4. Move all contents of SD Card to PC, then format SD Card
5. Copy CM9 installers to SD Card
6. Insert SD Card, and Power on into recovery (CWM)
7. Erase everything: system, data, dalvik-cache, internal SD, EXCEPT external SD
8. Proceed with installation of CM9 + GApps

[Q] Wiping SDcard with TWRP

I'm new with TWRP and I have a daub. When I click Wipe SDcard, there is the external storage and the internal storage. The problem is that I don't know what is the one to wipe only the /sdcard folder.
I know GNex doesn't have External Storage (obviously), but I don't want to wipe something wrong.

I just didn't want to mess it up.

where're the ROM zips stored?

Hi everyone...
I am looking at buying an LG e975, which is supposed to be 32GB and no SD card, and I was taking a look at forums to see how active is the ROM development.
I have no experience with phones with no SD, usually with SD, you copy the zip files to SD card and you install them in Recovery...
so.. how is this done with no SD card?... actually... for storing docs, pics, music... does the phone have a separate partition of that internal memory designated for personal data? similar to having an SD?... does wiping Data, Cache, formatting system affect the internal memory where you have your files stored?
I am pretty much curious on how the whole ROM flashing, backing up and restoring of Apps (I use Titanium backup) is done with no SD card.
Thank you!.

This section is not for the e975. It's for the Sprint LG-LS970. Sorry .

Your sdcard is just a directory in your data media folder. It basically works the same as a physical sdcard. EXCEPT you cannot mount it in recovery, so if you wipe it while in recovery you'll have to adb push any files you plan on flashing.
Factory Reset in TWRP wipes /Data, /Cache, and /Dalvik. This does not include your Internal Storage ("sdcard"). It's usually all that is necessary before flashing a new ROM, as a /System wipe is almost always performed by the ROM you're flashing.
However, if you select the Data check box in the Advanced Menu, this will also wipe your Internal Storage ("sdcard"). This is because your sdcard is actually just a /Media folder inside of /Data (meaning /data/media).

my question wasn't related to a particular model but to how the whole ROM flashing and storing backups is done when no SD slot is available... I chose this forum as I did not find one for e975 and they both have same specs.

Wipe device clears internal sdcard

Hi,
Every time that I wipe my device, the internal sdcard is also cleared.
This removes all my WhatsApp conversations and much more.
Any chance to do a wipe without clear the internal sdcard?
Thanks
Move it to sdcard

How?

resize partition?

i apologize if these seems like stupid idea, but I come from having a Samsung S4 (sgh-i337) and would save my data to the SD card and wipe all of the internal memory when clean flashing new roms.
is there a way to do that for the 128gb storage space, to save 10-15gb for backups, roms, etc? assuming in TWRP
I got my 5T on Tuesday and already have installed TWRP and rooted my device
I just didnt want to configure it too much if i have to wipe it all to resize partitions
thanks for the feedback
No, u cannot save space on the internal memory that will not be touched. You do not have to wipe your internal memory though when flashing new ROMs. That is completely separate from the flashing process. When flashing you wipe cache, dalvik, boot, system, and data, not storage or internal memory. Flash the ROM, boot up, and everything on your internal storage will be present. Also, this should go in the questions and answers thread.
