Hi everybody,
while playing a little bit with improving gps I destroyed my original \etc\gps.conf
Is here anybody, which could please upload a (german?) original gps.conf?
Thanks.
You might want to let people know which variant you're running (V500, V510) and also if you know which build of Android is on it.
You should install the latest TWRP custom recovery after and make a nandroid backup after you get the file replaced, or even before, too. ☺ Good luck!
Oh, sorry. I forgot: it is a v500 device running on 4.4.2 Stock ROM

Ah, someone else will have to help you then, I have a VK810.4G. I'm not in Germany anyway. You can help yourself by restoring the stock KDZ using LG Flash Tool 2014. Install TWRP first, make a nandroid backup, move the backup to external MicroSD or to USB OTG and then flash the latest stock KDZ for your model with the LG tool, which will also wipe internal storage. Get root on the stock, save the file you need to your external MicroSD or USB OTG, install TWRP and restore your nandroid backup. Then restore the file to it's proper place and set it's permissions the same as the original file in it's original location.
Where in Germany are you? I've been there almost 30 years ago. Bamberg, mostly.

Hello! I have successfully rooted my sm-p605 Note 10.1 with CF autoroot and also flashed TWRP. So far so good!
I´m looking forward to flashing Android Revolution HD on it but I have not yet been able to backup EFS.
I have tried to do it with EFS Professional 2.0. There is no actual filter for this device so I tried using the Galaxy Note 3 filter as i think they have equivalent hardware, that gives me the error that I cannot create tar archive. I also tried to choose "all partitions" but that gives me checksum error.
I am not really sure that I wan't to risk bricking my 750 € tablet by flashing a custom ROM before getting a proper EFS backup.
Are there by the way a risk of corrupting EFS in case I only restore the stock rom backup made in TWRP?
That would be my second option, to only make some root enabled customization and debloating in stock TW and not touch any custom roms and in case of messing up, restoring stock backup.
So, is there anyone that have been able to backup EFS on their sm-p605/Samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 LTE Qualcomm?
I do apologize for my crappy English, I ain't a native speaker.
After some research I came across some comments on various websites mentioning that it is possible to restore EFS by flashing stock firmware.
Can someone please verify this? That even if I will not be able to backup EFS i still can restore it by flashing Samsung stock firmware?

Got no idea but you can use a file explorer to grab a copy of your EFS folder with a file explorer like ES and copy to your sd card then transfer to your PC...
Don't know how much of a help this will be but at least you have a copy if you think you can follow some of the recovery instructions and need the original files....
I flashed the same ROM and I remember during the installation it asked me if I want to backup the EFS. I pressed yes and it just did and install the ROM.
Any success on backup EFS folder? I've the same device and i'm planning to try custom rom too
I tried flashing a rom into my phone.
It didn't work and I wanted to restore from the backup I made from TWRP.
I restored my original OS from TWRP, and it's booting up to it, but once it gets to my lockscreen and after a minute or so, it reboots. This happens every single time. Does anyone have any ideas of what to do?
Something is false with backup I would say.
Flash stock firmware, root it again and then play with custom rom again.
Since, I'm relatively new at flashing. I just want to make sure I am doing this correct.
So I can get the stock firmware from this site:
lgg3root (turns out I can't post the url yet since I'm a new user)
Then I would have to choose the ADB sideload option in TWRP since there would be no other way for me to flash it correct?
Also would flashing the stock firmware delete everything in my internal storage?
Hey, I want to root my device, and for that I need to go back to 4.4, but I didn't want to lose all my stuff.
Is it possible to do a full nandroid backup (or atleast the /data partition) so I can restore it when I'm back at bump'd 5.0?
I discovered a adb command called "backup", not sure how it goes though

You can save your installed apps and data with Helium (Pro) to the cloud or sdcard for instance. Copy pics/video`s and music to the pc and place it back after you flashed a rom later. A full backup cannot be done without root.

After upgrading to Lollipop FOB6 firmware using full odin and then rooting and installing TWRP, I have never been able to successfully restore a backup, ever!
From reading the dev forums it seems no one else has been able to do so either. Does anyone know what the heck is going on? Is there any toggle (like compression?) that we cant use?
This is a bit of a pain but not the end of the world. Certainly makes me hesitate to mess around with new roms though if I cant go back to my solid daily without having to start from scratch.

I think what is going on is that the directory structure in Lollipop is a little different from the one in Kitkat. To give you an example, the user installed applications in Kitkat are placed under /data/app like this:
/data/app/com.my.application.apk
But in lollipop the same app is installed as:
/dats/app/com.my.application.apk/base.apk
So a backup taken from your data partition in Kitkat cannot be readily restored in Lollipop. The directory structure is just wrong and nothing works. The solution is for someone to ether write a conversion script or for the TWRP people to incorporate such a script in their future releases.

Thats true - I did read about that. And that would definitely explain being unable to restore a kitkat rom.
However, I cant even restore a lollipop backup after flashing a different lollipop rom! Even if they are both derived from the same FOB6 base! That is what is even more confusing. Try it - backup, wipe all the partitions except int and ext sd of course and then try to restore... it just doesnt work!
Way I dit it just use factory reset only don't wipe anything specialy internal storage and don't use format. While restoring TWRP formats partition that been restored. I'm using TWRP 2.7.2.0
I've had no problem restoring from a TWRP Backup on Lollipop numerous times.

I noticed that in every folder in /data/app/ there is an apk called base and a folder lib, can i backup just the apk? Or when i need to share an apk or take an apk i need to take also rhe lib?

What is your TWRP version? Also, did you do any wipes before you fully restored a backup?

Does yours ever end up losing touch screen sensitivity when you restore a backup? Mine always looks like it has fully restored everything, but then no response to screen taps.

Mine just fails. But then again I've been wiping the partitions before restoring. Maybe that impacts it?

One of the devs, who runs the Lollipop ROM I've been using, warned against restoring data. He suggested backing up apps + data through Titanium Backup instead. Maybe it depends on the ROM?

I have a rooted S4 running Carbon. Im using TWRP 2.8.5.0 and can backup and restore any
KK rom with no issues. I can flash Lollipop and backup but it will not restore this backup.

Good, These are nice to have.
One note, TWRP creates a directory structure from the serial number of the phone, so you can't just zip up the entire twrp folder
the backup would not be visible on another device with a different serial number. ( I downloaded the file and it's last folder in the path below)
So the path to my TWRP backup is
sdcard1/TWRP/Backups/my serial number/date of backup
So the best way to pack your file is just zip/rar the /date of backup folder
and instruct others where to extract it too
I.E -> sdcard1/TWRP/Backups/your serial number/put backup here
hope this helps.
I'll be starting my own collection of goodies for this phone on my AFH account soon and I'll share the links for all to use
I mirrored your file here >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24407100847292996

I'd like to add to that - when doing that, you should take care to change the device ID on the TWRP folder to match your own.
*swoops back to own forum*
Can you post a "working " not working " section into the OP? How well does this work? Are there features not working like fingerprint or camera?
Edit - my mistake...I thought this was a AOSP backup.
I created a backup, then deleted the the contents and moved the contents of this backup in its place so that it would recognize it, however when I try to restore it, I get an error stating there were no partitions?

Ok, I was able to get it all sorted out, I just had to calm down, think, and teach myself some new comand line skills hahaha
I downloaded the stock Firmware, however I wasn't able to install it since I had TWRP and it was blocking it.... so I found this tool, Huawei Update Extractor that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 Then used this Extractor to expand the firmware and extract the stock Recovery.img out of it. Then flashed that to the phone via fastboot. Now, I was able to run the stock firmware update via the factory EMUI update app. Once that was done I was able too boot the phone back up and I was suprised to find that it didn't wipe the phone, I guess it ran it as a true "upgrade" instead of a nuke and pave.... BONUS!
Anyhow, then I was able to flash the new TWRP recovery back in place and now I'm currently creating a backup.... which if I had taken the time to do in the first place none of this would have happend. Oh, well... who needs more than 3 hours of sleep..... its not like I work full time and have 5 kids under 5 :silly:
Hope this helps someone who gets flash happy and forgets to make a back up like I did!

As stated above on the link to the stock firmware.... I can post the stock recovery image tonight, its at home on my computer, but it'll probably be faster for you to download that extractor tool and pull it out yourself.... I posted the link to the tool earlier.
Restored Succesfully
Just FYI, this backup worked for me to restore on a KIW-L21 (European Honor 5X). What I did was to first make a backup, which created the proper folder structure and I then copied these backup files into that folder, replacing what was in there. Restore took about a minute and then phone booted in about 3. Thanks alot for this!
Deleted
I can confirm that it works with KIW-L21 too.
edit: after that my twrp didn't work correctly. Apparently there are some twrps that don't work with some devices.
I reinstalled twrp with this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/root-kiw-l24-usa-kiwi-t3305190
After everything was fine.

I know because the OTG fix for the L21 will not work on the L24 because of missing libraries
Thanks for the Rom
Really Helpfull, Thanks
Yes I believe that is the case
I'm not sure on all the radio bands though
