Restore HELP please - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

okay, so i used Rom manager to back up my phone...now i flashed new rom and want to go back to my backup. But i cant do anything with Rom manager because i cant get it to flash the new recovery (servers are down or something). The restore files look like this inside the folder:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there any other app i can use to restore these to my phone?

Looks like the layout of a nandroid backup. Heres what I would try:
Extract that zip into a folder - name it whatever you want (ex Skittle)
Delete the recovery.img from that folder
Take that folder and put it into your nandroid folder on your phone's SDcard
**It'll look something like /sdcard/nandroid/SERIAL#HERE/skittle**
Reboot into recovery, select "Backup/Restore", "Nand Restore"
Select the Device-ID (serial#), then pick the Skittle folder to restore.
**Notice**
If you don't have a nandroid folder on your sdcard then just reboot into recovery and make a nandroid backup. It will create the nand/serial# folders for you. Then just throw the extracted zip into that directory.

I did all of that and about 20 "."s into the restore i got an error: "Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb!"
Any ideas?
Thanks for helping, i messed my phone up and i go to work in 5 hours!
p.s. i just tried restoring the "dummy" backup i made, and it restored it successfully! Is my back up bad? Im so F*^#%@ if it is!

Hmm.. I know that error shows up for me when I tried doing a nand-restore with low'ish battery. Is it close to being fully charged?
Edit: ok, nvm. if the other one restored fine then you basically have two options for now:
1. Try doing the restore via command prompt/adb shell - which I can help you with
2. Waiting for rom manager (not sure what that is, never used it ) to start working
Do you have AndroidSDK and the tools (adb) installed on your computer?

No i do not, never heard of it :/ Can you point me in the right direction please.
If you have a msn or anything, we can talk a little faster with messenger or something

You can download the Android SDK HERE
Extract the Android SDK zip to C:\
So it'll look like C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
and check your PMs - not the female kind

[Q] [DEV] Can someone DUMP P500 Baltic system.img

Hi, Can someone please dump/backup the system.img from baltic P500 or have a offical update for baltics. Thanks
Just do a backup and upload it. Thanks
No one here from Baltic States?
Hey, just show me how to do it, and I will give you.
hi, please use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8917870&postcount=12
or if you have Thunderg installed, then just do a backup and upload these files.
thanks
Hmm, could you be more specific? I just bought this Optimus One like two days ago, and I'm feeling very newb (it's my first Android).
What do I have to do, to give you that system.img and what is that system.img file?
Hi, the system.img a backup from Android /system partition is a main part of the android. But this guide we just dump that /system partition, it's the easiest way.
I'll try to help you do that:
1. Is your phone rooted?
If you haven't done that, then use Z4Root(super easy app ) and you can get it from here: http://www.upload.ee/files/997919/z4root.1.3.0.apk.html
Download that file and copy to sd card and install.
Open that installed app and root your phone
If you need help with that, then there is little how to here: http://www.worldofnubcraft.com/285/rooting-a-lg-optimus-one-android-phone
2. OK, rooting done, now we need terminal app: You'll find that from Market. Just search "Android Terminal Emulator" it's from Jack Palevich and install that.
3. Now open the Terminal Emulator and enter these commands without "" and hit enter after command, these 3 command should be it:
"su" it asks for a root privileges and you allow that
"cd /system"
"tar zcvf /sdcard/system-dump.tar.gz *" and wait when it finishes. it takes some time. It's done when you see #, it takes couple of minutes max.
4. That file is now on your phone SD card and upload that system-dump.tar.gz file to somewhere and let me know
Are you sure about that?
I'm sorry, but it's not working. It gives me an error "tar not found". Any ideas?

By the way, what you can do with that file? What it contains? I'm just a newb, and I want to know everything about Android.
EDIT:
Is it possible to do that dump with Thunderg?
Go to market and install app called "BusyBox" and download / install BusyBox with this tool. After that it will work.
yes, i forgot busybox install that and give a new try
Ok guys, I got it. Before putting it live, I would like to know one thing. Does it contains any personal data, if so, what exactly? Sorry, for being so paranoid.
hi, it won't contain any of your personal data. Personal data is stored mostly on /Data partition and we didn't dump that. Thanks
Ok, so here you have it.
Optimus_One_Baltic_ROM_dump.zip - 89.2 Mb
And it's only contains branded ROM with no changes? That's great. What program do I need to restore my ROM to the branded one, if I'm going later to change it?
i think you should look to Thunderg... it's best way to make a full backup and restore after

3. Open Terminal Emulator and type the following commands using the stock keyboard. Press enter after each line:
su
cd /sdcard
sh bootsound.sh
reboot
4. As the device boots up you will be greeted by the "Dolby THX" test sound heard before movies. You are now free to replace the android_audio.mp3 file in /system/media with any .mp3 file you like as long as you rename it to "android_audio.mp3"

Marshmallow "Couldn't capture screenshot."

Hello All,
I have a Nexus 6 (Hence the reason I'm posting in this thread) and I am not able to take screenshots after upgrading to Marshmallow 6.0. I would think to post in the thread of the current rom I'm running but I also full wiped and tried a different rom with the same result.
Every time I try and take a screen shot it says "Couldn't capture screenshot. - Can't take screenshot due to limited storage space, or it isn't allowed by the app or your organization." I would post a screenshot of what it's doing but... well... I think you get the point. I have plenty of storage space and I have dived into the various permissions settings on 6.0 but have yet to find out how to fix it.
Has anyone else had this problem across multiple roms and no luck with screenshots?
Currently running:
Chroma Oct-10-2015
Kernel:
3.10.40-Chroma-v1.01
Go to the screenshot directory and try to manually create any file there using your usual file manager/explorer.. If that fails,.it may be that the permissions are screwed which sometimes happens when you copy sdcard data back whilst in recovery.
If that sounds like your problem, there is a zip you can flash. Do NOT use "fix permissions" in recovery.
Flash this*zip*via recovery...

Try this. Boot into TWRP select Advanced, File Manager go to /sdcard/pictures hit Select, chmod 755, confirm, reboot.

Why are you still in ES? The problem isn't permissions, it's ownership. Use my zip as was suggested by @danarama.
The permissions zip worked,
As to why I was "still in ES?" I like to have an understanding of how everything works. May not be the quickest way to fix a problem, but it allows process of elimination on my side to see what specifically the issue is.
I appreciate the .zip and suggestions everyone! Thanks!

@osm0sis, You are amazeballs!! Ran into this same inconvenience the last couple of days. Swyped a quick search, quite effortlessly arrrived here, where I can thank you for the fruits of your labour. And I do mean ALL of your work across XDA. I appreciate you much! ?
Take screenshot on your PC
Well, I think maybe you can try taking the screenshot of your Nexus 6 on computer. Just don't do it on the phone if it keeps failing. Android Manager can do this and save the picture on your PC.
is it working now?
You can try to rename pictures to pictures2 and reboot your phone, this was a quick solution on the oneplus one, if it works, but it's a dirty solution.

Erased all My partitions through QFIL. How to fix?

As you can see, I accidentally erased all the partitions. I meant to just clear boot_a.
I tried recovering through these steps:
Download (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WQaaM35SWiF_UbXAM8hiRB95D2CDkIEq) the backup. Unzip it to find 7 luns (0-6).
1. Open QFIL
2. Select Flat Build
3. Click load xml and select the rawprogram(#) XML that is in the lun(0-6) folder.
4. If it asks you for a patch xml, click cancel. It's not needed to flash this backup.
5. Click download
6. Repeat steps for each lun folder
I kept getting this failure message in qfil:
I'm not sure if these are even the steps to fix it. Any Idea on what I need to do to resolve this?

Yes the best thing, or easiest rather, would be to determine which partitions are needed to get lgup to work, then flash a kdz with it.
Don't remember exactly which partitions are needed, google search for that. But flash those, from that backup, one by one, think there's only like 6 partitions needed.
That's the thing about qfil, if yer not sure what yer doing, don't do it

The problem with the backup is that I wasn't able to get them to work through QFIL. Is there another method of flashing those partitions?

one by one. I've done it, it's time consuming, but it can be done. And be sure to pay attention so you don't flash the wrong one to the wrong partition. If you get a message about 'data overflow', immediately cancel, that means you are trying to flash to a partition too small for the image, and you'll overwrite the partition next to it, and probably end up with a brick.

What file format is pictures exported as a backup from the phone?

Hi,
My Huawei P20 Pro broke, but earlier I did an backup of Pictures on it using Huawei HiSuite if I remember correctly. Now I tried to open those pictures on my computer but got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I tried to open using ImageGlass but got this:
Then I checked if Linux file command can identify if it's an jpg file and it can't.
file IMG_20190428_115443.jpg
IMG_20190428_115443.jpg: data
This is because Magic bytes of the file starts with 6425 b4a7 which doesn't match JPG magic bytes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures
It does not match file on that page.
So what kind of images are these?
Have you been asked to set a password before you did the backup?

Nope not from what I remember.
When was that backup done and what was the HiSuite version? It used to create the backup by just copying the files from the phone, but since some time (I believe few years now), every time when you start creating a backup, it is asking to set the password and then all the files are being encrypted.

The backup was done 2022-07-26 and I used HiSuite version that was used at that point since I downloaded it when I backed it up. So I don't exactly which version it was.
If you've downloaded the newest version at that time, it was surely the version, which is always asking to set a password, when the backup is done. Your files are encrypted and you need to decrypt them (if it's even possible) or rather restore a backup on your phone (but you need to know that password anyway).

I see. But yeah since the phone broke, I can't connect a phone to HiSuite on my computer and restore them. I would need to have the phone for it which sucks..
I tried downloading HiSuite on my computer but can't import the folders I have from the backup into it because it wants to connect to a phone first..
