Do i have to make a nandroid backup?
Ive downloaded a ROM i want to use, but have problems with wiping the phone. How do I do this?
so basically
1. how to nandroid backup
2. how to wipe full
3. how to install my rom, fr17 vanilla kitchen unsigned
hope for easy help thanks

just reboot into recovery, either via rom manager or shut off and then hold pwr+vol.up untill you get into recovery..the rest you will understand, just read dont forget the rom zip has to be on external sd not internal, good luck!

yea then im ****ed, i dont have any other sd card than the internal...

then it not possible to flash anything

what if i borrow one from a friend? Can i put the rom on there, install it to my internal, and then use the phone all good? if yes, where do i put the rom on the sd card? it is a winrar, and in there it is one iso file, and 3 folders.

sure you can do that, put the zip file wherever you want and can find it
do not touch the zip file dont unzip or anything, just leave it as it is..

okay nice thanks Do I just use ROM manager to install it and then browse to it? Also I had a sd card thing from an old sony ericson, but it was just a little to big:/ what exactly does the optimus 2x use? Micro sd card?

yes you can install with rom manager but i preffere to bootin with pwr+vol.up no risk at all. and yes most phones today use micro sd

Is the rom manager's cwm capable of flashing all the custom rom for the lg o2x? Can i use it on mcr and cm7 for example? TIA

yes it works for all roms

Ah okay.

Can you flash a rom without a micro sd card?

I just picked up a Bionic, but don't have a micro sd card for it yet. I already rooted it, but was wondering if I can just save rome on the internal memory and flash them like that or if that would be an issue?
Any quick help would be appreciated.

I don't see why not. When I download a row or theme, it downloads to the internal sd in the download folder and I flash from there

I would be careful with that, because from what I've read, they always recommend flashing from the sdcard because if the internal memory gets erased and something goes wrong, you won't have the zip file to flash the rom from.

Root help !!!!

Hi
I have the Samsung galaxy S Advance (DULP8) and I want to root it. I followed the steps to root but when i copy the root.zip into my external memory card and then go try to flash that via stock recovery(update via external storage ) i don't see it ? in fact there is stuff that dosent belong to me like some song folders and such
I even tried copying the file in internal and external still no luck . I had the device earlier and it was running gingerbread then it got messed up and i sent to Samsung to repair they repaired it and returned with jellybean 4.1.2 installed :highfive:
I don't know what to do i am so frustrated and cofused about where the hell does the folders come from which i have no clue about ?
Also in the storage in settings there is three tabs
1.Device memory
2.Internal Storage
3.Sdcard
When i select update from external storage in recovery it dosent even go to my external sd ?

From recovery choose "install zip from external sdcard" don't use update.

Is there install? Or apply update from external storage?
Ok, I did not use stock recovery for a long time - I do not remember what is exacly. If you do not see anything from "update from external storage" you will need to REPARTITION your SD card. This is not formating, this is erasing partition and creating it again. Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
You will lose data from it, so I suggest you to backup it to a computer.

Sometimes you pasted your zip on a folder that is down below than those that stock recovery displays
So what you have to do is: go to your file explorer (personally I use ES file explorer) and enable display of hidden files, then some folders with . will appear so try pasting the zip on one of those folders
If stock recovery doesn't show anything when apply updates is pressed, then you'll have to do what shut_down said

Stock Recovery does show things in External storage

You need to put root.zip on EXTERNAL SD. It is not shown in INTERNAL.

This might work but first you need to backup all your data: from ext-sd and from usb storage.
Then factory reset you phone. After that format your ext-sd with sistem file "FAT32" . When done with that put only the "root.zip" on the sd.
After all above is done try to install the root file with stock recovery.
P.S If this doesn't work you might be stuck on the stock JB for a long time.

Hi,
Im not sure what misc. files you are talking about but, all i can say is use a root browser like ES file explorer to get in the root part of the device and search for those big files by looking at the file sizes and try to find out what they are and if they are safe to delete..

Guys, I need some help -- can't copy files to sdcard or internal memory after TWRP fo

Long story short -- I'm selling my Note 4 so I wiped/formatted EVERYTHING (used "format data" option in TWRP which required me to type "yes"). After that happened I found I didn't have an OS installed. Ok, no big deal right? I'll mount my sdcard and copy the stock firmware over than flash with TWRP.
WRONG. Every time I try to copy a file to either the sd card or the internal storage, I get the following error message:
"Cannot copy Trltetmo_N910TUVU1ANJ7_Stock_Deodexed.zip
Its file size is larger than the device limit."

Wtf? In file explore it says that the SD card has 29.7GB free space available. And internal storage has 24.1GB. Obviously something is not right here.
Is it possible that TWRP didn't format things correctly? I just want to know how to fix this so I can get the stock firmware back on this bad boy and get it sold. I have been out of the android scene for awhile so any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Also, not sure if it's worth noting but when I mount my Note 4 in windows with TWRP both the internal storage and sd card have like no file structure or files whatsoever. Completely empty. Also interesting is every time I reboot with TWRP, it asks if I want to install supersu or whatever to root the phone. I say "yes" but each time I reboot after that it asks me the same thing like it didn't actually do anything.

You can use ODIN to install Stock firmware on phone. So you won't need to copy anything to phone/sdcard memory.
If you still want to install that deodexed rom you mentioned, you need to plug your sdcard to computer using a sdcard adapter. TWRP built-in mount fails most of the times when trying to copy big files.

I guess that's not actually the "stock" stock firmware. Because the file I have is a .zip and is apparently incompatible with Odin. I will go to sam mobile and download the firmware there.
Do you recommend I download the most recent firmware should I flash the one that came with the phone?
Also, I hope that once I get the firmware back on, I will be able to copy large files when mounting normally once booted into the OS...

Yes, download the latest firmware and install it using ODIN.
You would be able to see and copy/paste to your internal and memory card normally after phone boots into android.
