[Q] G2 temp root automatically kickout while backup

I am in the process downgrading my Tmobile G2.
I got the # , ok
I got the version changed, ok
I got the temp root (maybe).
But once I got the temp root and trying to backup.
The apps says I don't have root access.
It means after I pushed busybox ,etc ,ect. I click the backup apps, the backup apps say good to go. But even I reload the apps the 2nd time. It will show I don't have root access.
But I still have the # sign.
I checked the forum as someone else had the same problem, but I did not find the answer.
Does anyone have some suggestion?
Thanks

be sure to disable the fastboot option. turn your phone off, pull the battery and leave it like this for a minute... then start again

I got the same trouble with my Desire Z. You can see my question near the the week ago. And advice was the same, but it didn't help. I think temporary root was honest but may be backup application managed to destroy some reserved memory for root, i don't know. I couldn't to backup system either MyBackup Pro or Titanium.
So I can't rooting my phone.
I will very glad if anybody help me and you.

sure you can root your phone. if the backup doesn´t work just skip it.
"If you have nothing to back up or don't care to back anything up, proceed to the next section." (...from the guide)

I agree

After rooting when I tried to backup the stock rom even I got some errors.
"Can't mount..some something"
Googled for it a lot and most of them indirectly said the phone might be bricked. Since I had nothing else to do I continued with the next step i.e. installing custom rom (cynogemod in my case) and everything turned out fine.
I am not recommending that you skip the backup process, if you can find anything then surely take a backup else skip it and continue.

I afraid that skipping backup procedure before rooting is not a better advice.
I've bought my device over a year ago and now it has a lot of useful app and files. I usually use MyBackupPro to store non-system data without rooting.
However, it seems to me that's not enough, or am I wrong?
I think that after the rooting and replacement of the firmware I get a new, empty device without my usual things.
Is it enough or not after rooting to restore only the non-system data to continue to use the device as before plus root ?
Thanks.

yes =) just backup your apps and restore afterwards... you wont loose any sdcard content while rooting (except for goldcard). sure you can´t backup system apps, but this doesn´t make sense anyway because they wont work with your new rom
backup while rooting could be important for warranty issues... but actually isn´t really cause you can use a wwe ruu.

Overheated/crashed/won't turn on

Hi guys
Yesterday I was playing a game on my Galaxy Nexus when it overheated and turned off. It wouldn't turn back on so I took the battery out and left it a while. It kind of turned on then it said "SystemUI.apk has stopped working" and crashed again (it always does this when I turn it off with the softkeys hidden). I couldn't get it to turn back on properly after this. I reinstalled my ROM (without wiping so it kept all my apps), and it booted, said "android is upgrading", then turned back off. I can make it do this again in CWM recovery but nothing happens. If I turn it on the normal way it goes to the boot screen but turns off before anything else happens. Anyway, will a factory reset fix my issue? I don't want to lose all my stuff but if it's the only way...
I'm running Codename Android 3.8.0, which is based on CM10 (4.1.2). Stock kernel as far as I know

I think you should try to make a factory reset (maybe after a backup in recovery) just to ensure it's not an hardware fault... if everything works then you can restore your backup and try in some way to save your apps (i don't know how since you can't reach the home but maybe someone can help more) in order to restore them in a clean install... IMHO

I've never done a backup in CWM before, how much free space do I need roughly?

Factory reset fixed it. I hadn't thought of a backup since I've never done one before. Thanks for your help!

Note 4 bootloop... hardware failure?

Hi,
I plugged my note 4 into the OEM charger and all of a sudden it just goes into a bootloop continuously.
Occasionally it will reach the home screen and reboot again, but more often than not.. it reboot before the Sprint logo comes up.
Was fine before i plugged it in and was trouble free prior to that.
My phone is stock, not rooted.
The fact that it will reboot even at the Note 4 welcome sign is leading me to believe this could be a hardware issue...
Any ideas?
Anybody had the same situation and had luck troubleshooting or fixing this?
Any and all help i much appreciated...

Can you boot into recovery?
First thing I'd try is to pull battery, boot into stock recovery and wipe cache and try to boot.
If not booting, try wiping cache and dalvik.
You have the option to just take it in for evaluation but you should determine if you have reactivation lock enabled before doing anything else.
Still not booting? Factory reset. But if you have reactivation lock enabled that is not a good idea. It would be better if one of the two above booted the phone.
If reactivation lock is enabled, you need to install the same update the phone is on to prevent factory reset protection from activating. Don't factory reset yet; Odin or taking in for service may be your only option. If it boots, you should be able to open with same unlock method as before.
If you have reactivation lock disabled, you're free to try factory reset or update to latest through KIES. I've heard Samsung Switch may work too. You could also factory reset and update or emergency recover with one of those.
If still not booting, if it just updated, I'd mention that and not the charger you mentioned. It could be corrupt memory due to battery failing or bad update. The eMMC may be failing too.

Thanks for the reply...
Ive been messing with it all morning... and if i leave it a lone and it cools, it will last a little longer than when it becomes warm, rebooting quicker and quicker.
i managed to get into recover and did a factory reset and cleared cache.
it has made no difference.
The longest time its gone before rebooting is the lock screen.... and the it reboots again.
as it warms, it eventually wont even get past the Note 4 welcome screen before rebooting.. and then finally freezing and will require a battery pull.
Makes no difference if its on charge or off.
i have a sinking feeling about this.....

Could be terminal but you haven't tried to flash firmware on partitions with Smart Switch, KIES or Odin yet. Right? You can check the phone status while in download mode to verify reactivation lock is disabled.
Try one of those on PC or take it to Sprint to have it flashed again.
If you purchased at Best Buy and they have a Samsung Experience kiosk, they can do that too. Dunno, maybe it doesn't matter if you purchased there or not but they've flashed my phone a couple of times.
I've tried to guide you down the path of least effort to restore your, if possible. There's still some hope of recovery.
Edit: Your battery could be suspect. Let it cool and plug in to make sure it's at least 60% or higher. If the battery is near a year old, I'd suggest fully charging but get a replacement if you frequently discharge it to 15% or lower. Especially if you use fast charging.
But you've most likely discharged it with all that reboot activity and heating up. Kudos to you if you're managing all that and keep a healthy battery. Otherwise, the battery may be contributing to or causing your issues.

thank you for the help..
reactivation lock is off.
i can't get it to reliably not reboot anywhere in any screen.. only screen that will stay on for any period of time is recovery... but the phone stays cool.
Its not the battery, i have two, and both do the same thing.. the battery does not get warm, area that gets warm is neft to the battery below the sd card slot. (sd card removed).
Frequency of hang/reboot seems to be related to how warm that area gets.
The most i have managed to do is get into my phone past the lockscreen and it will shortly freeze and reboot as it warms up.. it will reboot at the note 4 welcome screen or sprint logo... and repeat... eventually to hang.
Both batteries are charged fully using the external charger. (samsung oem)
Shame, not a scratch on her....
Oh well, on to Ebay for parts/AS IS and time to move on...

Even if doubtful, I'd still take it back to Sprint or place of purchase.
The Note 4 has a bit of history with eMMC failure. It's even happened with updates and Samsung and Sprint is apparently aware of it. A while back I saw that listed as an ongoing carryover of known issues that needed resolution.
I don't have true stats on exchanges but several users here have repeatedly gotten deals on replacement phones, paying a small percentage when they failed- similar to yours.
OTA updates have also been suspect to cause eMMC failure. But honestly, l don't know what causes this: bad hardware or updates? Maybe it's just bad hardware not taking updates well? Nonetheless, I don't know if I've just been lucky or my hardware is stable. Still going strong here with no hint of failure.

No promises. Couldn't hurt. If you don't like the answer you get from first Sprint store, try another.
I would mention that bit of history with the updates.

I have the exact same issue going on with my wives phone. Just started yesterday out of no where rebooting over and over. Never really getting past the Samsung splash screen. She got an update like a week ago, but other than downloading a new app several hours earlier nothing sticks out to why its happening. I was able to once get into safemode, but the phone rebooted a minute into it and typically doesn't even get to the sprint splash screen when I've tried to do it since. It's totally stock and has not been unlocked or rooted. I thought it could be the battery since so many of these boot issues on the Note4 deal with that when googling, but my battery from my working Note4 in her phone does the same thing and her battery in my phone works just fine. I can get into the recovery options menu (volume up + home + power) and I can get into the download area (volume down + home + power) for loading bootloaders and such for long periods of time with no issues. I've cleared the cache with no luck. Haven't tried factory reset yet because I want to try to recover the photos and stuff first. Searching for the issue on google I came across this software (android-recovery.net/android-recovery-mode.html#two) where I was able to use the download area and connect the phone with this app which used its own bootup and it was able to show me all the files on the phone for recovery so we could retrieve them. It wanted $50 to complete the process though and, knowing the advances that everyone here has made on their phones I decided to decline that and search these forums for a way to just access the file directory of my the phone and retrieve my wives stuff prior to factory resetting it. I believe something is wrong with the bootloader of the phone and that is why it cannot get to the android OS to start up, but I could be wrong. Reading various articles made me to believe that if I just were to unlock the phone for rooting that possibly that could fix this issue with the bootloader or at least be able to recover her photos and stuff. I do have insurance on the phone and could get it fixed or replaced, but that would be a $200 deductible I believe and first thing they're going to try is factory resetting the phone which will lose her data we're trying to save.
It almost seems as if I were to get TWRP installed that I'd be able to access the files without the need of loading any ROMs. But I'm not sure if that will work in my case or erase data when I do it. The threads I'm reading aren't clear on that part. I would really be grateful if anyone could help me out with figuring out the easiest way to recover her stuff or get it working. Its been a long time since I've unlocked any phones and they were all iPhones back in the day when they were only on AT&T and I had T-mobile and wanted to it work.

@dsm_gsx97
I would suggest you try Odin and install the same update, if possible. That may be the most likely to retain your data if it's not corrupted.
Unfortunately, I don't think TWRP recovery works for Note 4 to copy data to PC. But if you go with that, know that it will trip Knox and void factory warranty. But if that's not an issue, you could copy data from internal memory to extSdCard to salvage it if it's not corrupt or private.
I know KIES has an emergency firmware recovery mode that may offer to reprogram it. But you may lose your data. Not sure but I think your phone has to booted into system to backup with KIES or Smart Switch?
This thread has the recent available stock tars, Odin and general instructions to get you started.

Thank you very much for the quick response. I would rather not void my factory warranty in case I have to use the insurance to replace it so it sounds like TWRP is out which is why I didn't use it yet because I was worried about that. I did try KIES and it said that firmware upgrade and initialization would erase all data. So I ruled out using that too. I did notice while in the recovery menu of her phone that it says she's on N910PVPU1ANIE ...so I put my phone in recovery menu and I'm on N910PVPU4DPH4. Googling her version it looks like hers is very old and mine is fairly new which makes sense because I did the update a few days ago also. I wonder if hers is so old because that's what the other software program put it on to be able to bootload it to recover the files.
Anyways looking at your link I think I'll try oden with one of the more recent TARs after getting her stuff off with that program. Yes I'll just pay the $50 for peace of mind. I really appreciate your advice. Its not easy gathering all the answers without really being involved on this forum so thank you for that thread. None of the TARs listed is the update I have, but that shouldn't matter should it? As long as its a newer one than what it says she has?

Was it only the OTA update that updated that phone?
NIE is the original-initial release of the Note 4. If OTA tried to update it, it must have failed?
Nonetheless, you should know the history of that phone. I wouldn't install one of those recent updates until you've backed up your data. You may lose your data jumping to a much newer update.
The phone doesn't boot at all? If it does boot, you could run Phone Info for Samsung from Google Play to see what the partitions are actually at. That would help to recover that data if possible to do so. But also KIES could backup data if it boots.
The NIE stock tar is in post #2 of this thread.

If it boots after Odin, your data may be OK. If not, may be corrupted data or partition.

She's done plenty of updates over the last few years since we got the phoens. In fact she did that last update a few days before I did. That's why I was confused when I noticed what it said at the top of the bootloader screen for her update version. The phone does not boot at all. Only to the the Samsung splash screen and never gets to the sprint splash screen. It initially would get further, but now doesn't at all. I went ahead and paid for that software and have now backed up all her stuff. Was hoping to fix it without factory resetting the phone. At this point at least I have a backup, but ideally it would save her from losing all her texts and other crap.

In that case, try the most recent stock tar in the first thread you were about to try.
Something seems off but trying to flash the original stock tar would be problematic if it was updated beyond Android 5.0
If it doesn't boot, you'll most likely have to factory reset it.

Hi, I'm aware that several people have issues with the new pie rom.
Unfortunately, I have a problem that I haven't seen before on the forum:
It takes like a full 5 sec to call somebody and the same to end it.
It's very frustrating because I never know how to react in this situation (did he heard? Etc...)
I don't want to factory reset and I got everything stock.
Anyone has an idea on how to fix this?
Can I wipe cache with the stock recovery? Maybe install an other phone app?
Thx

i am having issues in pie as well. i cant seem to transfer large files to the phone.doing so makes the phone restarts. i tried it 5 times or so. fhis update is not good

Only way to clear up issues is a clean factory image install if this was not done to begin with.

OK thanks...
Though I blindfully hope someone will be get some alternative has I don't want do execute such extreme solution

It's actually relatively painless. Apps restore automatically when you go through setup, calls and texts are restored, as well as system settings and WiFi networks. Takes me ~30 mins total, and maybe 5 of that is actually looking at the phone, the rest is letting it sync and restore backups automatically.

I was thinking about it doing a factory reset once the final came out but I've heard stories from fellow moviepass owners that are unable to use the app when switching phones. That would make a valid concern for factory resets as well. Not because of lag but I have noticed battery seems worse after the upgrade and wanted to factory reset to rule out. As I ran all the ota betas of pie a factory reset isn't a bad idea anyway.

Your device ID is tied to the app. When you factory reset and reinstall the app your device ID is reset. You can root using Magisk and then install Titanium Backup to backup the app and data, this will preserve the ID. i had to do this when switching ROMS.

Question How can I recover data from device stuck on starting page?(PE+ ROM)

Recently I dirty flashed PE+ ROM into my moto g40 fusion in a hurry without looking at the developer instructions(which clearly says I should clean flash). So ,now my phone is stuck on starting screen with a faded Google logo.I did not even take any backup(Silly Me)!
But somehow I am able to turn on flashlight by long pressing lock button(It was previously set ). I even hear alarms. I think That means phone is awake but for some reason the display is just a grey Google logo
How to fix this?What should I do?‍
I think performing a factory reset might boot the device.But Can I somehow recover the data?
@arsradu Can you please help me out?

Hello,
I don't have the phone anymore. So this is general info.
For as far as I know, you can't recover the data. However, Google does automatical backups at regular intervals, if you let it. So...chances are you might already have a backup. You could try to use it after factory resetting your phone.
Something else you could try...is flashing back the older version you had on top of this one. Maybe it will let you boot into it successfully so you can get access to your data. After that, I would suggest taking a backup, if you don't have one already.
And if you want the newer version again, make sure you follow the instructions given by the developer and see if that works.
I'm not aware of any other way.
Yeah, it could be that the phone is alive, but...if you can't interact with it...it doesn't help.

Thank you arsradu for replying..

I knew you don't have the phone anymore.I read that in the conversations.But I was kinda desperate.So, Sorry that I bothered you.
I hadn't allowed Google to backup my data except for photos and videos.
Flashing the older version of the rom on top of it was the first thing I tried,But the PE Recovery said the data was corrupted , didn't let me to boot into it and it wanted me to factory reset ‍. So in the hope of keeping the data I reflashed the same rom.
But, the exact same advice from you today gave me an idea.I know the data is intact in the device, If I somehow can backup this ,I might restore it in a clean flashed rom!
So I went through other XDA threads,watched some YouTube videos.
Then I boot it into twrp(again, thanks to your tutorial) took a backup of only data,wiped everything, flashed the previous version and restored the backup.And now I am writing from my own device🥹🥹.
But the problem is partially solved.I lost some important files from internal storage (as expected) .When I tap, I cannot open important settings options like individual app info, developer options,restore and backup etc .I can't swipe down the quick settings menu.When I try to toggle night light the display is just getting dark altogether.

Glad you managed to find a way! Good job!
My suggestion would be to make a backup, while you still can, and do a clean installation of the rom.
