Hi, I currently have a rooted Captivate and I'm running stock firmware on my phone. I have several questions if some could help me out that would be great.
Is it is possible to get the official Froyo update if your phone is rooted?
Also if it isn't possible, if I do a factory reset will it unroot my phone?
My friend was the who rooted my phone for me and I don't recall what he used to root it. So IF I can't get the update while rooted and doing a factory reset doesn't remove the root, how can I unroot my phone and do I need to know the specific way my friend rooted it?
I dont think, root with do anything against upgrading your phone using Keis mini....formatting or deleting any chache wont unroot your phone...
but to be on safer side
Use this to unroot...just put ur phone on debugging by going to settings>>applications>>development>>uSB debugging on
click on the link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304
download the software as per ur computer (Mac or Windows) Extract it...an plug the phone with computer...and just click unroot...it will do the rest...
i tested with one of my captivates when 2.2 was released.
i rooted and unlocked the phone
then i updated to 2.2 through kies
no problems at all

Will unrooting also remove the custom Clockwork Recovery? If not, does anyone know how to remove it? Thanks!

When you unroot you should not have the option to go into cwr, seeing how you need root permissions to do so.

no. Clockworkrecovery is simply an update.zip on your sdcard and does NOT require root at all, just reboot to recovery and reinstall packages....that will boot you into clockwork

absolutely. clockwork recovery is done without being in the OS....so it does NOT require root access
when you install rom manager on a samsung galaxy s phone, and click on the flash clockwork mod, it puts the update.zip file on the sdcard. once you reboot to regular recovery (3 button), just click reinstall packages, it will reboot back into stock recovery. click reinstall packages again and it will kick you right into clockwork recovery.....has nothing to do with root

but if that is the case then why does my phone always boot into clockwork recovery, even after deleting update.zip? i did flashed it exactly as you said - that option in rom manager and then two times from the stock recovery. but now i can't seem to get rid of it any more.
though i have read that it is included in some kernels? and i did flash serendipity, could that be the reason that i can't get into stock recovery?

thats exactly why...its included with the custom kernel you are running....
and here i thought recovery was part of the bootloader and something that does not (usually) get replaced. if you could explain how these things are separated (i have my theories but i'd love to know how it actually works ) that would be great, otherwise i'm simply relieved that i am still able to have my phone repaired on warranty if i ever have to
If you want the Official TWRP Recovery (now compatible with KK) for your Nexus S just check this link, there will always be the latest TWRP recovery officially out.
For now the latest is: TWRP 2.8.7.0
LINK: https://dl.twrp.me/crespo/
How to flash this? (Recommended way)
- enter in fastboot mode
- plug to your pc
- open a command prompt at the path where fastboot.exe is located
- type: fastboot flash recovery (drag and drop .img file)
- when done, type: fastboot reboot
PS: You now have a custom recovery and you are rooted. Since 2.5.0.0, TWRP roots your phone for you. Just reboot to recovery, and reboot system, if you are not rooted it will prompt you to root, just slide to accept. Let it reboot ,go to the playstore and download SuperSU.
Or if u are rooted:
- download from the playstore: [ROOT]*Rashr - Flash Tool (Playstore) / [ROOT]*Rashr - The mobile Android Flash-Tool (XDA Thread)
- download the latest TWRP.img
- open the app
- select Flash Other Recovery Image
- browse to your downloads folder
- select the TWRP.img file you just downloaded

Hi, I have a problem with a nandroid backup done with 2.3.1.0.
One backup done a week ago, works fine
Backup done today (successful restore) not work (stuck on boot, google and the lock)
Two question:
Is there a way to understand way stuck on boot?
If I restore /system from backup one (same rom) and /data from the last one is the same as full restore the last?
thanks

i restored system from the first backup, than data from the second one.
For now works fine. All apps restored with their data.
How is done the backup? Is a dd if=/system of=systembackup ?
If so can I mount -oloop systembackup?

Just tried to restore a TWRP backup, said it was successful, reboot to system and all I get is "Fastboot Mode - No boot or recovery img"
I can still boot to recovery (TWRP)....
What should I do??
Here's what I did to fix: After restoring backup I wiped caches and installed ROM over the top. It is booting now. Thank goodness... I really didn't want to have to start over from scratch!!
Sucks that I can't rely on my nandroid backups though. Unless I am missing something.. This bug needs to be fixed!
not worth it, i reverted back to clockwork 5.8.0

You can still weekly update with TWRP. I've been doing it since I got the phone 2-3 weeks ago. It just launches the updater script in TWRP and installs fine
Ok.. Nice! I've just read that TWRP would break the updates. I'll try when the next one comes. Thanks☺

I stand corrected. This week's update didn't work for me. I checked my downloaded_rom folder and it seemed to be downloading entire ROMs the past two weeks, except this week it was just the patch. With. The entire rom download, it installed but with this week's update only it did not install.
Mine did not update as well.. Just froze at the MI logo.. Tried twice.

TWRP does break the updates and even after restoring stock recovery it still won't do it just download the full rom and dirty flash it through TWRP. If you still need stock recovery here's my backup. https://mega.co.nz/#!KFckQTBR!r3zUx_6OoKiusgPWRSBYhltvHP48RLfhuSnZ59wXF2k
I have made the backup using Flashify so you will need to install Flashify and place the file inside Android/data/com.cgollner.flashify/files/flashify-backup/recovery

Yeah it didn't work for a while but it randomly started working again and I havent had any problems since.
Yea I tried that, then realized how much I used TWRP and reverted back after 2 hours.
I only use twrp when I need it so I connect it to my PC and use fastboot boot TWRP.img
I own an Note 5 and i managed to soft brick it while trying to get android pay working for my rooted phone. In the process I was asked to turn off superuser in the SuperSu app and then reboot. After that my phone wouldn't boot.
List of things I tried:
I tried to flash the recovery.tar to my phone
Flashed Twrp and wiped my cache and davlik-cache
Also tried the fix permissions option.
*Update I bought an otg cable and flashed super su but nothing @Droidriven

Have you tried flashing your same ROM again if you were on a custom ROM and then superSU.zip then wipe cache and dalvik but don't factory reset(trying to save your data), then reboot.
If that doesn't work we'll take the next step.

A custom kernel is any kernel that isn't stock.
If you're using custom ROMs you're using custom kernel, find a kernel that works with your ROM.
Where did mention of a kernel come from?

No, custom ROMs can't use stock kernel so they need their own kernel, the kernel is what integrates your hardware with your software, roughly equivalent to drivers on PC. Without the kernel, the device can't use the ROM.

Yes, that's how some newer Samsung are having to root.
If you're on Stock firmware then you may have to find a custom ROM and flash it or flash your stock firmware via Odin and start over with rooting the device again but you'll lose your data.
You might can do a nandroid backup before you flash anything and then after flashing you can retrieve your data from the nandroid backup by extracting it and putting it back where it belongs.

Answer 1) to prevent this in the future, when you get straightened out, boot to recovery and make a nandroid backup, that way you have a backup of everything with it working correctly that can easily be restored later if you have problems and will put you back to having everything the way it was when you made the backup. Its like a restore point in Windows.
Answer 2) A nandroid backup backs up everything on your device that is important, all of your settings, your contacts, your ROM, everything. You can pull whatever data from the backup that you need. But the backup I'm telling you to make right now nay not keep everything you had, there's no telling right now how much data you've lost or not so making the backup is to save whatever you can so you can retrieve it after repairing your device.
Always make a backup after every major change you make on your device so you'll always have a backup that includes the new additions so you can restore to that point if you need to. When you make a new backup you can delete the old one unless you just want to keep it but the more backups you make the more room they take.

Don't get ahead of yourself, for now just make the backup and then focus on getting the device restored to working again and THEN you can worry about retrieving the data.
One step at a time, stop trying to cross bridges you haven't gotten to yet.

No, not a backup to computer, boot to TWRP and choose the backup option, nandroid are created in recovery. Using PC isn't the right way to do what I said.

Never mind then, just keep it on PC
Now, look through your forum and find a custom ROM that works on your model number and a compatible gapps package(the ROM thread will tell you which gapps you need so don't ask) and then flash ROM then superSU then Gapps in TWRP then reboot and see if you're fixed.
If that doesn't do it then you'll need to go to Sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com and type in your model number to find your firmware, download it and then flash it in Odin in the AP slot, the same slot you flashed your kernel to root.

Can I restore a nandroid backup with a stock ROM?
Hey everyone
I've just unlocked my bootloader on the Moto G 2104 (XT1072) and I'm fully aware you can use TWRP or CWM. However, this means flashing the recovery partition using fastboot which then means I can't capture a backup of the stock recovery. I would like to FULLY backup my phone including the stock recovery. How would I do that?
Many thanks
Will
Use Flashify to backup stock recovery and then with TWRP you can backup all partition

Can't actually get into the ROM as there was a problem with it. It's only just come back from the repair company and there's nothing they can do because apparently it's rooted (which it hasn't).
The bootloader hasn't been unlocked and I can't even unlock it because a setting has to be changed in the developer options under settings, which isn't going to happen because I can't even get into the ROM in the first place.

Why you can't get into the rom? you usually do a backup before you edit something on your Rom/Kernel. I don't know any other option to do a full backup without TWRP sry

The phone played up. A family member was using it as normal and one day it wouldn't power up into the ROM. To unlock the bootloader I need to get into the developer settings and enable the check box for allowing the bootloader to be unlocked.
