Help with .backup file. - Micromax Canvas Turbo A250

My neighbor's phone was locked out by AVG and I dont want to reset it because of important notes and messages. I cant connect ADB since he hadn't enabled Debugging. I went to stock 3e recovery and took backup fro there and got .backup file in internal storage. I want to edit this file and remove the AVG and restore it back. How do I do so?

Unpack system.ext4.tar and delete AVG from /system/apps. Dont know if work but you can try.

As I said before, I have stock recovery and I got .backup file format in stock recovery.

Yes i understand now, you cant have access to that file.
Make a update.zip to replace build.prop and add this line in prop file.
persist.service.adb.enable=1
Edit: flash cwm first

Will cwm reset anything?

No, CWM recovery is just to flash the update.zip with the modded build.prop.
If you have stock rom installed, download stock rom and unpack system.img to get the build.prop file.
CWM can be flashed with SP Tools

Did you put in into the folder system/framework with the phone turned on with some file explorer, right? Not with a flashable zip from recovery.
You just won a reflashing using LG software tools

Yes, but if you don't do it flashing from recovery, you get bootloop.
You can flash it now with flashable zip from recovery (did you have NOVA rom so you can boot directly into recovery?) connecting the sdcard to the computer and pasting a flashable zip for framework.
I tried to modify the framework-res.apk file and then i putted it in the right place but i've briked the phone.
My PC can't read the phone (NO LG software recovery), NO ADB (ex reboot recovery), No hard reset.. there's not a configuration to put it in hard reset.
i've sended it to LG Assistance.. i wish that they can format and recovery the phone.
Sorry for English!

Need help replacing a single file in system folder

Hi guys,
I tried a fix for GPS for v20l that can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19002334&postcount=41
This got me into a bootloop...
Can anybody help me and create a zip update to install via clockworkmod with the services.jar I backed up?
services.jar: http://www.mediafire.com/?b7ib6q8z4fa0z5z
Is there any other way to replace it manually in clockworkmod?
thnx

Here, attached. The file on mediafire is larger than "my" stock services.jar though, don't know what that is about.
Anyway, flash it via CWM, wipe dalvik-cache, and you should have your original back.
Now that I've done you a favor, you can do me one: Look up ADB on the .net. Even on an unrooted phone you can boot into CWM, mount /system and run ADB-commands to replace single files like this. It will probably save you some time.

For that we need custom recovery, like we had TWRP in GB. Developers are working on it, and soon we will have that. Meanwhile you can reflash whole firmware.
You can try to use zip file from Shaan's root. Just delete system/app, and system/bin, and put build.prop in system folder. But I am not sure if it will work this way.
I attached how I think it should work. If you got any more bootloops editing it, try it.
i cant,i dont have a pc,
i went to my frnd twice and flashed twice today,it feels bad to go to others house

Maybe you better wait for custom recovery. With it would be lot easyer. You will have backup to restore.
I just tried it, it is not working because of signature.
Reboot phone In recovery mode, connect usb, run adb shell In PC:
su
mount -o remount system /system
cat /sdcard/build.prop > /system/build.prop
reboot
(Assuming u have a backup build.prop In /sdcard)

I did not try, but I think you can. Just make it CWM compatibile. I have empty zip that is compatibile with TWRP, but I do not know if it is compatibile with CWM. I will try it later.

This CWM is buggy. When I press option install from SD - it refresh. I needed 3 times to push restart to get phone restarted. I am waiting for fully working CWM, and I will try then. I am not pushing my luck after problems with TWRP last time.
YES solid explorer works,
changed to S2,
RESOLVED
Use another .zip that extract things to system, if u replace files In the cwm zip it wont work because of the update-script inside

Man, you just saved my phone by this zip. Thank you
Hi, I know this is an old h thread but I'm pretty sure this will be handy to someone
Try this app for an easy way to make an update.zip It's still in beta but seems to be working fine on my N7100 so give it a go...
Zip.me can be found here (playstore)

[Q] Trying to restore stock firmware, aborted each time

Hey All, have google and googled for the past week but nothing specific to this issue I'm having.
I want to restore my stock firmware so I can get OTA updates! I didn't make any sort of backup when I began playing with different roms. I have htc_039 unbranded aus htc one. Bootloader has been unlocked with S-on and TWRP installed.
Downloaded Deevans/bugsys nandroid backup that matched my phone details (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41368105&postcount=375&nocache=1&z=2030115523399023) but there isn't any sort of instructions on installing these.
When i have tried to flash the rom I get "installation aborted" and when playing with fastboot it has given me messages that it cannot find certain .txt files (something like android.txt and a few other ones.
Could someone please tell me what im doing wrong or list the instructions to install this? I don't know if I have to lock the phone again, restore the recovery file first, no idea!!! Or is there anyway to turn the Android Revolution 12 image to get OTA (i dont think so)?
If you need any further phone info I will post.
Can anyone help with this?
When I try to flash the file in TWRP it starts and stops at "Updating partition Details".
What have i not setup right? Have been using these resources:

Hi,
I'm new to the htc one so not sure here but from what I understand and anyone please correct me if wrong - but if it's Deevans nandroid 1.29.980.2 (Australia unbranded) it's a CWM backup and I don't think they work in TWRP.
So think you would have to flash CWM, then flash "restore" nandroid from CWM or find a TWRP nandroid.
Also think you need s-off before you do ota as no way to gain s-off with revone on updated hboot 1.54 yet.
Hope this helps.

Thank for the reply
I have tried to install this with CWM which gave me those first missing ".txt" files. I will give it another go with CMW and post the results.
I will also S-OFF before doing the above.
Phone is now S-off and put CWM as the loader. Tried the zip file again and says:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
I have also downloaded the file twice to confirm its not corrupted and it opens through winrar with no problems.
Any other suggestions?

I would try restore it like a backup, so unzip and put files in your CWM backup folder.
Not sure how CWM backup folder looks but in TWRP it's like /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/... or /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/...
So I would try unzipping and copy files (boot, data, recovery, system) to /sdcard/CWM/BACKUPS/folder/put files in here - then boot to recovery and try "restore" option and browse to backup folder. You could probably copy the files to any folder on the sdcard and restore from recovery not sure.

Thanks for your suggestion and that was going to be my next question. The file I mentioned in the first post is x.xxx.xxx.zip (x as the numbers) and inside that zip is a folder with the same name x.xxx.xxx and inside that folder are all the files.
I tried putting the folder only in CMW but wont detect it, tried it with the .zip file and fails. Have now just put all the files into the folder and tried again with same failure.
There is a very long error in the recovery.txt file it made, don't know if its any use but the first line that pops out is:
Starting TWRP 2.6.0.1 on Fri Aug 2 06:23:49 2013
BOARD_HAS_NO_REAL_SDCARD
I put the file into this link if you know of anything, makes little sense to me. http://pastebin.com/Tvp2Qp2X

I have now tried both TWRP and CWM and fails, also have installed ROM manager and another one I cant recall from play store. Also booted into recovery and went to the 'restore' option from the menu but cant find any directories..
I dont know if this has anything to do with it but noticed in the contents of the file:
ARCHIVE: cache.ext4.tar
ARCHIVE: data.ext4.tar
ARCHIVE: system.ext4.tar
boot.img
cache.ext4.tar.a
data.ext4.tar.a
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
recovery.log
system.ext4.tar.a
system..ext4.tar.b
Not to get ahead of myself but HTC ONE is ext2or 3 by default, its not something simple as having to change it to ext4? Its just something that stood out.
Just done google search on CWM backup location and seems to be /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup - so you could try copy the zip and/or files there and try restore from CWM recovery and see if that works.

Interesting that there was no 'backup' folder inside that folder. Have created it and putting the files and zip in there now.
Was also googl'n and found this article:
http://miuiandroid.com/community/th...d-restore-error-while-restoring-sd-ext.15611/
Someone mentioned to now open the zip file when it downloads. I'll try your suggestions and this and let you know what happens tomorrow.
Thanks again
Morning,
Have downloaded the .zip file again twice and put it onto the SD and clockwork Mod backup folder and it has aborted again.
Any ideas on what to try from here?

[Q] Different Stock recovery?

I have 9.4mb and 16mb stock recovery.
There are many 9.4mb links in xda and 16mb was from Sprint forum.
Mine is 1.29.980.17 and it seems like 9.4mb doesnt work on mine..
Anyone know recovery differences? And also how to extract recovery from RUU or nandroid backup?
Thanks

Sprint recovery isn't for your phone. Find the 1.29.980.17 recovery

Don't know if u still need this but to extract recovery from RUU you need to check hidden files in folder options.
Then you need to open ruu, leave it running like this.
You can then go to temp folder "C:\Users\Errol\AppData\Local\Temp" and you'll see a folder similar to one like this {6EA884E0-4A88-48EF-A485-666625A12F24} Open and scroll down till you find rom zip, Copy and paste to c:/ drive. Now you can close ruu. Open rom zip and you have all your files. With my evo 3d I could rename rom zip to PG86IMG, download to sdcard on phone boot into bootloader and would flash my phone back to stock. HTC One may be similar too!

It's a great plan but it won't work ...the rom.zip you extract is encrypted and you won't be able to open it. you can however download a decrypted ruu.zip and extract the files you need from it.
