hi,
I have a Samsung GT--i9000 Galaxy S phone with a dodgy usb port.
I am sending it off to get fixed but need to back up the phone first.
To fully back up I believe I need to root the phone to enable back up of application data using titatium or my backup.
Phone Details
Firmware : 2.3.3
Baseband Version : I9000SRJV1
Kernel version : [email protected] #2
Build number : GINGERBREAD.XWJVN
Because the usb is buggered, rooting methods using odin etc which involve connection to a pc are not possibe.
Also because I am running gingerbread 2.3.3 apps like Z4root/gingerbreak etc wont work.
Does anyone know a way to root this phone from recovery mode, or other method without using USB ?
This thread does what i think i want for the i9001 but I cant find a solution for my GT-i9000

advance thanks for any comments

If its a matter of saving your data files, you can use My Phone Explorer on your PC and Client from Market with WIFI, to save the entire contents of your internal SD card to your PC ( link below on MY Android Collections)
If you still need root download i9000 root update.zip (same link) and install via 2e recovery

Thanks for responding, Just so that I'm clear, I have 2 follow up questions please
1) If I sync files using My Phone Explorer over wifi to my PC , then optus factory reset my phone, can I just sync back to phone
to get back to the current phone state ? Or is a more comprehensive backup like titanium (with root access) required to fully back up the phone ?
i.e. I want angry birds and other apps to retain their settings / scores etc but am unsure whether this can be achieved this way.
2) The 2e recovery readme speaks of flashing with odin and thus a usb connection that I cannot do.
Did you mean that I can just put the i9000 root update.zip onto the SD card and boot in recovery mode without using the files from this 2e recovery archive or am I missing something here ?
In any case thank you for your help . Love the phone explorer btw, compared to Kies this is fantastic.

If you save the entire Internal SD card, none of your data for games , settings etc will be lost, you only need to reinstall the app a new and paste back the data , but IF you want your system and data back, than tintanium should do it
anyway that is a SD card zip file for rooting ( look under unlock and rooting), as such you don't need USB connection

I used MyPhoneExplorer to sync the files on the memory card but it appears that without root access this solution will not back up hidden application data. I base this on not being able to locate the angry birds data files on the back up (or on the phone in phone explorer for that matter) ie no com.rovio...... any where. In fact there are only a handfull of com.xxx. application files under the data directory.
So it appears to me that the phone must be rooted to back up application data.
Can anyone confirm this observation : Is the only way to backup application data via a rooted phone ?
xsenman, sorry for being obtuse but do you mean that I simply need to
1) put the root i9000 update.zip onto my external SD card.
2) reboot using power/home/volume up combo.
3) pick the update.zip file from menu.
4) wait while updating then power off and on
After this my phone will be exactly the same only now with root access ?
thanks again, I need to be sure about this before proceeding.

I doubt that you need to be rooted to save your game data, it may be in the Phone memory or have its own folder under a different name
anyway, yes you only need to use update.zip in 2e Recovery as above, to root using that file , root will only install a superuser in your phone and nothing else.

there is an app on google play called Angry Birds Backup 2 SD. This will save all your progress for Angry Birds and will restore once your phone is returned. For other apps you will have to find another way.

Looks like I'm screwed as phone has gingerbread 2.3.3 and therefore has recover 3e not 2e.
To degrade to recovery 2e I need to flash a custom kernel so I'm back to requiring odin again to achieve that which of course I cant do without a working USB port.
Ok I admit defeat and give up, unless someone else can suggest a way to do this (without USB) I don't think that this can be done.
At least I know enough now to do this via USB / odin or even superoneclick once the device comes back from repair.
Need to root
Please give the link to download update.zip aka root.zip
(I bought an I9000 only yesterday.
I don't have access to PC.
Framaroot doesn't work ?! )
Thanks
custom recovery + root: use "Mobile Odin" (use the free version as you'll only be flashing a kernel) just extract the .zip file so you have one .tar file and flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
hi,
I'm trying to install gingerbread or the best version on my firmware 2.1 Xperia X8 but I am stuck :
I cant get Xrecovery installed on my X8 as I cannot locate the the folder SDCARD. When I connect my Xperia X8 to my computer a load of folders appear but they are not SDCARD or root etc How do I copy files over to this directory if I cannot locate the correct folders ?
I got a free version of Root folder on my X8 and can see the right folders on my phone there but have been unable to get to them on the PC and thus copy the necessary files over. Any ideas ? Its quite frustrating !
I think I have 2 steps left, copy Xrecovery over and then copy the latest Android over and I should have a better phone.
You should just use FlashTool to root your phone..
I prefer FlashTool because with it you can root, unlock bootloader and flash kernels all-in-one..

well i got the phone rooted. It says so when I run it again and the Super User is installed. So too is busybox. I don't know what Flashtool can do that isnt already done.
However I cannot get to SDCARD folder from my PC ! Some examples on the web just show files being dragged and dropped but I don't have the folders listed.
CtrlAltDelIrl is not really reading your post.
First, you don't have to locate the folder SDCARD. What you see in your computer is the SD card. Later when browsing from your phone and you see the folder SDCARD, what you're actually seeing is a link from within the internal memory of your phone to your card.
Second, just use x8toolbox to install X Recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100. While you're at it, install also CWM Recovery since all of the recent ROMs need it to be properly installed.

Great, Yes I am stuck at finding the correct folder on my phone. If I can't get access to it via PC I cannot copy files over.
I don't know what X Recovery is or much about x8toolbox . I downloaded a lot of files and they don't do a whole lot. I was looking for a straightforward solution
I
There is no sdcard folder.....the first page with lots of folders that appear when u open u r memomry card on pc is sdcard or root....

Thanks very much for the response. Yes it helps. I just see a list of Xperia X8 folders on my PC which don't do what I need.
I can't figure out what I need to do in order to get to the SDCARD or ROOT folder ? The only thing that is similar is hidden system folders in Windows but its so easy just to view hidden folders. I am thinking I have to do something similar to get at my Xperia X8 SDCARD and ROOT folders.
Xrecovery sounds like its the right application to get installed for me. If I got it installed I could put on a new Android operating system. However I first need to get at the correct folders in order to copy XRecovery over.
Any one have any ideas ?
Copy the three xrecovery files.....to u r memory card.....access to memory card using root explorer and copy the xrecovery files and paste it in
phone memory/system/bin

dude it worked !! Thanks so much, I was looking at that till midnight last night

Thanks again !
i got ginger dx copied over to the sdcard and launched it. It looks like it froze mid way through the boot up with nothing happening from a graphical point of view (it started with lots of stars moving around).
I tried doing a restore but it says nothing was found. What should I do it with ?
trying to mount the sdcard from the phone results in "Unable ot open ums lunfile"
Is there some way I can restore the phone and try coping over the GingerDX v28b again without losing all data
i had to delete all my data but got GingerDX to work. It feels a lot better than the 2.1 Android on the phone
if you think gingerbread is nice, try ics it's......wow
Before unlocking u r bootloader please read the tutorials carefully or else it can brick u r phone.....

that's what i've provided
for unlocking bootloader i would recommend flashtool, cause you can't do pretty much wrong and it's easy
(but don't forget to be below 11w29 )
I would like to try ICS but I don't know where I can get it. Some steps outlining where to put etc would be a help. I like gingerbread, its easier to type and the phone seems to work quicker. Although there are a few things :
Using the phone now I can't get into my Wallpapers saved on my SDCARD. It has to exit from pictures and puts up an message that an error occurred and try resetting the SDCARD. How can I do this and does it wipe anything ?
My contacts from my phone chip don't seem to be appearing either, maybe it wiped them or maybe there is some error. Any ideas ?
When using the camera I get the following error :
xperia x8 gingerbread the application camera (process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

bout 'resetting the sdcard' i think that the phone wants you to format the sdcard, but i've got no idea why... never had that problem...
your contacts were stored in your data-partition, so your full-wipe deleted them, your only chance is that you sync'ed them with the google-servers
and about your camera, i've got no idea never had any problems with it
which version of gingerdx did you flash? (i've had gingerdx a pretty long time too )
---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------
sorry, just saw that you said v28b
give v25 a try, i like it much more than v28b
i also think that it has a slightly better performance
I am only using Ginger bx a day or so.
I do have contacts left but I can do anything about what it deleted. I use google+ but I don't think it backed anything up.
The thing is that the camera doesn't work either does the picture viewer. To get the background picture changed I had to use Astro. GalleryDx would stay open
as i said, give v25 a try, for me it worked better than v28b
gallerydx is a bit buggy (scrolling aso), you could try a gallery from market or from another rom (or earlier release)
is that an older version ? have you an url where i can download it and follow some steps
I downloaded other apps and they view my pictures ok (my pictures were saved but my numbers werent?) but the GalleryDx app that came with Ginger bx just doesn't work
yes, it's an older version (just better )
and your pics are still there 'cause they were stored on your scdard
http://code.google.com/p/gingerdx/downloads/list thats the link to all gingerdx versions, just download v25
BUT you don't need to do a full-wipe, just install the zip via cwm and your done :good:
if you want to you can wipe cache but its not needed
Sorry i copied this from another area

I am using:
Stock ROM XXMEB5
Stock Kernel
Stock Recovery
EDIT: Finally Solved the Problem. The phone was not resetting properly, so for users facing this problem there are 2 possible solutions:
1. Flash stock rom, goto stock recovery and from there wipe data if CWM does not do it properly (In my case CWM did not do it properly)
2. The other solution, the info i figured out was that it had to do something with a folder in Android/Data directory. Try to delete folders one by one to see if this fixes the error
I recently updated OTA to 4.1.2 and have suddenly got this same problem today, im not technically that great so all i did was save the files i wanted to keep and did a factory reset but nothing has changed. I can open my pictures in Smart Gallery Lock Free but im also having the problem that nothing deteles properly, everything i delete re-appears when i re enter Smart Gallery
I have tried removing the files directly from "My Files" but it will only work on the extSdCard not sdcard0 its says deleted but doesnt go anywhere.
I have looked at point 2. but i dont know what i can delete without making things worse
Hope somebody can help
same problem in my SGS II, nothing woks, wipe data reset factory i have done every thing nothing works my only alternativ eis using quickpic app
Hi to all
I went to Samsung Thailand yesterday to have check to see if by battery was replaceable under warranty and to make a very long story short the Tech managed to soft brick? my note by constantly pulling out the usb cable from the bottom of the phone while the unit was powering down and up. Their response "Sorry about that but we will repair it by replacing your Main board but you have lost your data" WTF !!!
So now my note starts to boot but per normal but gets to the pulsating Samsung Logo and hangs and keeps pulsating then the top rear of the phone gets quite hot after a few minutes. I can boot into download mode Vol dwn+ pwr and recovery mode. The phone had no issues apart from the battery so understandably I'm not happy.
Okay I need some advice as I dont want to loose my data particularly:crying: the photos and sms (dont we all) and am in desperate need of some good advice and directions
Oh I forgot my note was stock running the latest version of JB
1. Can i try to flash a new rom? If so how? (point me in the right direction)
2. Will I loose my data? Particularly sms and photos?
3. Does the unit heat up mean the fried the MB?
I appreciate any and all your time and responses..
Many thanks
Why didn't you accept the nice offer for replacing the mainboard?
(I did when they repaired my display in Samsung Udon Thani)
If you want to save your data you should install a Custom Rom with no-wipe.
Thank you

I'm more than happy for them to replace the main board but they said I will loose all my data and dont want to try to recover the problem they caused.
So I would like to attempt to perhaps flash the rom again in an attempt to save the data, I'm looking for advice on the correct procedure... The Jb update was done via KIES.
Thank you I appreciate your reply, any easy way to flash the rom? Just download and image go into download mode a flash via odin?
Arg still no success

You made a "dirty" install because the original Rom was a no-wipe Rom.
I think you should install a Kernel from Philz thread. Take the latest for LT4. Install it and reboot into recovery.
Then clean cache/dalvik cache and make a factory reset.
After that you can install any Custom Rom from this recovery you want.
Thank you

Dear ThaiDai
Thank your for your helpful reply, and sorry about the following questions as I'm starting to feel little out of my depth
Just checking the procedure as follows:
Step 1: I have downloaded the tar file PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT4-OXA-4.93.6.tar .. I then use ODIN to flash it per normal.. ( I think if I understand it my phone is then rooted)
Step 2: I reboot into recovery , clean the cache partition and do a factory reset ( wont this delete the data i'm try to recover? )
Step 3: Will this then allow for me to access my files ? or do I then still have to install a new rom?
Step 4: Then I reinstall the stock Samsung rom? and have access to the data?
Again Thanks for your time and patience, much appreciated

You need to be a little more clear.
Factory reset will clear app data, but will leave the data in your internal memory card intact.
Which one do you want to save, app data or internal card data?
I don't think we'll be able to save app data although Thai dai is more experienced, he may know of something.
Thank you

It was the app data NOT the Apps that's important... Particularly SMS,and photos which had contact details on a recent business trip. (i'm just not sure where they are stored by default)
From my understanding is flashing a rom doesn't delete the app data as it's effecting the rom only..
AS opposed to a factory reset which wipes the apps and app data (which I'm trying to avoid)
Many thanks I appreciate your reply
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
That is where SMS are stored. Boot into recovery, go to mounts and storage, Mount /data, attach mobile to PC and copy the above file to your PC.
Your pictures will survive the factory reset as they are stored on the memory card directly and not in the /system or /data partition.
P.S. make sure you have Samsung drivers installed.
Later, simply copy back the file to mobile.
P.P.S I'll be offline for 3 hours, any more difficulties, we'll solve later.
Thank you! whats next?

You have an external sd card in the phone ? And a way to read the data off the sd card ? If not,then procure both,I have a roundabout idea.
Follow these steps:
1.)Install Philz kernel & reboot to recovery
2.)Take a backup of the ROM.
3.)Take out the sdcard,mount it on a laptop/PC/whatever and go here G:\clockworkmod\backup (where G is drive letter of your card)
4.)If there are more than one folders over there, open the latest one.
5.)There must be a file called [data.ext4.tar.a] without brackets,of course.Rename it to [data.ext4.tar]
6.)Open up the archive and go here /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
7.)Extract the whole databases folder and keep it somewhere safe.
Now, we have 2 options- Try to install a new ROM and restore the sms OR access the sms on PC.
Luckily, we can do both
M1)Install new ROM
Install any ROM.I suggest going with SlimBean whenever coming out of a brick.It is only 80mb, therefore light as hell.Don't go with a heavy ROM(~700 MB)
Now paste the databases folder to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/
Reboot to recovery and fix permissions (look around,you'll find the option, I don't remember where it is right now :silly
Check if you have your messages back.
M2)View directly on PC
Download SQlite Database browser
Open up the mmssms.db file in the databases folder with it.
Select the browser data tab and choose words_content table from the dropdown list.
There, now you have a list of all the messages you sent.
Don't forget the thanks button
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!
I now have a copy of the database... however I cant seem to read then the file is large I can see carriers and various types of information but not the sms.
So I will go with installing a new rom.
Is there anything I should do before trying to install the new rom eg wipe cache etc.
THANKS HEAPS!! you answers have been extremely helpful

Just follow the installation instructions on the ROM page. Also, I will again advise you to use a light ROM. If you want touchwiz, pristine is the lightest ROM I know. If aosp, then try slimbean or asylum.
Next time you can backup your sms&mms with samsung account. You can backup photos with Dropbox.That's why we have this option on the phone. Pictures are originally (if you didn't changed this in camera settings)stored to internal sd in DCIM folder and it will not be deleted after factory reset (only after "format internal memory" command in settings or in recovery. BTW,pictures&music is not an app data.App data are app settings,games progress&scores,etc...

Almost there!! Thank you!!!. Just a few more steps?

:fingers-crossed: Okay ...So far so good.. I copied the original rom. Did a factory reset and to my surprise the factory rom booted to stock... (rooted of course) So surprised!! :good::good:
However it's the next step I'm a little confused on.. Should I then make a copy of this rom add the necessary telephony files to it... then re-flash it as it then has the missing data and fix permissions or is there something I am missing? (sorry to sound so stupid)

Just follow the m1 method from the eleventh post. Since you already have a working ROM, simply copy the databases folder to where its supposed to be.
Helo i have a 4,3 jelly bean xperia v which is rooted. Today i tried to download xposed framework via xposed installer but everytime i try to do it i get the error: Could not extract xposed-disabler recovery.zip. Please help me i really want to use xposed frame work.
Very strange on my phone its working without any problems. I've rooted with towelroot then installed supersu.
Make sure you have the latest xposed version (2.6.1) and allow root when it asks.

Make sure you have the latest xposed version (2.6.1) and allow root when it asks.

Hello thanks for your reply. I have towelroot just like you. Is there any flashable zip for the 2.6.1 version?
You don't need a flashable zip.

Nope doesn't work. SD Card: null ... Could not extract Xposed-Disabler-recover.zip...... Wtf is this only me having this ****ty bug? Should i clean dalvik cache etc from recovery mode?
I dont know how to help you. How did you install it? Maybe you should do e clean install of your rom too.
I tried version 2.4 it worked. but the new version doesnt work. the old 2.4 version is bad you cant use gravitybox with it.
bump!!!!
What is your rom is it stock rom? You are doing something wrong. Write the exact steps you install it. I've installed it more than 30 times on my phone and never got sdcard error.

im currently using 4.3 jelly bean. I reseted my device but i think i have problem with my sd card or internal storage. because when i try to take pictures i cant. the stock gallery app wont save my pictures that i take with my camera. So i deleted the stock gallery app and downloaded the quickpic app. Now i can take photos and the quickpic app saves my photos. However when i take screenshoots it doesnt work..
You must have wrong partition permissions for your sdcard. Go to WhiteNeo CM12.1 thread then go to FAQ and find the terminal command for fixing storage permissions. Did you use CM12 before switching to stock rom? Or did you repartitioned your storage?
