There is an error in the script-file pointing to the folders where the various tools and files should be found. Find the directory-structure where you unpacked the files and check if the paths in the script match the directory-structure
First it can't find the exploit 'rageagainstthecage' in the files folder (cannot stat /files/rageagainstthecage, which means it cannot get proper permissions to do the other steps (Mount system R/W, mount: Operation not permitted)
And on top of that it can't find the files that are needed for CWM (files/recovery.tar, chargemon and busybox)
so put those four files in a 'files' folder in the directory where you run the command from, or edit the script file to point to the directory where those tools actually are.
If you provide the link to where you downloaded the tool from, i will inform them of the error too so they can fix it
thanks for your answer but i have found the problem,
the script was alright but I opened it as administrator, but when I open it as normal user it works
thx anyway
Hello Everyone!!
I want to change the boot logo with my custom one.
And I found the file containing the logo.jpg called "param.bin".
The file can be opened by WinRAR identified as TAR archive and flashed to /dev/block/mmsblk0p4.
How can I mount the partition to change the logo?
I have tried to mount the partition,but I got the "I/O Error".
Sorry for my poor English....
Hello everyone,
I pasted a custom rom (Trickdroid zip) file in sdcard of my HTC one, but when i go to recovery mode to locate and install the rom, i don't find it?
I search every file in sdcard while in recovery mode, still not found.
Although i can still see the zip file when connected to computer
What seems to be the problem?
I hope i can find an answer here
Try pasting it in the 0 sub directory on your sdcard

been searching for 5 days now :<
not a single answer found on google and forums
cant even post a new thread yet. just joined
hope someone will drop by this thread
still no solution?
got same problem here
Got a bootloop issue with an ASUS MeMo Pad 7 HD and I've booted in recovery <3e> to make a backup.
I've got a userdata_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.backup. I tried opening it with a bunch of tools like unyaffs, abe (Android backup extractor), going live on the file using linux tools (open as 7zip, zip, rar, tar, tar.gz, gz, bz2 , mount as iso, ext4 and so on....)
Still no luck :-/
Only clue is that the file seems compressed. During the backup under recovery, it told me 3600MB to backup and the file userdata_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxx.backup show only 2.61GB
I did this backup 3 time to ensure there were no corruption during the write process from the pad and did again the same "tests" to open the file...Not better.
If any dev' have any clue of the file format, I'd be glad to help
It doesn't seem to be a valid unix img file. Tried mounting it to no avail. When it's restored by the recovery it also extracts the individual files because i fails on one in my case and stops the entire restore... I tried unzipping it, changed extension to ,jar, .tar, .zip, etc., none of them are recognised...amazing for a standard android feature to find so little info about it
Any solution?
I called Alcatel's technical service today and they told me that you can use the backup file only from the phone. Mine gives me the following error when I try to restore it: Error Magic header
If anyone knows how to unpack the backup file I would be more than grateful.
It's a 512 byte header in front of a "tar.gz"
hexdump -C userdata_xxxxxxxx_yyyyyy.backup | less​showed the magical zip header "1f8b0800 00000000" at offset 0x200
So, skipping 512 bytes, the rest can be gunzip | tar
dd if=userdata_xxxxxxxx_yyyyyy.backup bs=512 skip=1 | gunzip -c | tar xv​
Sir ektoric what d u mean on ur post?
Sorry cant understand it..
Can u please d a step by step procedure? Please...pls...plss
Thanks in advance...
Steps?
@ektoric sir im a noob in this... Can u show a step by step procedure?
@killen00 sorry, I assume you have a linux machine (or have access to one). The command is actually all there is to it.
Code:
dd if=userdata_xxxxxxxx_yyyyyy.backup bs=512 skip=1 | gunzip -c | tar xv
If you don't have a linux machine available, might I suggest one of the many distros of your choice, most of which have LiveCDs which you can run without installing.
script for gunzip method
maybe on xda it is common sense, but for me it was necessary to know, that these stock android recovery extracted files can be restored with nandroid custom recovery, if you simply repack them into tar archive.
i put this two command lines in a dirty shell script (extract + repack as tar).
thanks to ektoric figuring out his gunzip method!
edit: notamamasboy's mount method added (but not tested yet). if script not works come back few days later, download again and check version, maybe it has changed meanwhile.
with this you're able to transfer data of non-rooted phone to (rooted) similar one.
this is useful in case touchscreen is broken, you haven't custom recovery installed, usb-debugging is disabled and connecting usb-otg-mouse doesn't work.
tested on my Archos 50 b Oxygen (Mediatek MT6582).
it works for me, feel free to improve, port to busybox and publish. no support. use at own risk.
edit: bckp2cwm.sh is deprecated it is FOR JELLY BEAN ONLY (no selinux support)
a newer (selinux) version bckp2win.sh for TWRP you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3775129
How did you go about determining the magic number found at 0x200? My hexdump output does not have that magic number (1f 8b) in any instance. Leads me to believe my backup is not a tar file. Any suggestions then?
@notamamasboy, you are unfortunately correct.
Someone else also mentioned that their
Code:
userdata_xxxxxxxx_yyyyyy.backup
file was not of the same format I tried some "known magic headers", and could not find anything tell-tale. In which case, without some clues, you are back at square one.

Even more peculiarly, two backups were created a .backup and a .backup2, I wonder if combining with cat I can get somewhere...
Hi guys.

Same me

what is your s9+ version?, it appear in twrp?
I have the same Problem with S9 plus G965F.
It boots permanent in Samsung Logo repeated.
even can not flash stock Firmware via Odin in download modus.
Can anyone help me please?
Flash latest twrp 3.2.1-2. This mesage "Failed to mount '/cpefs' (Read-only file system)" is gone.
Doesn't cause any issue, but updating to 3.2.1-2 fixes it as well as slow restore from backup as seen by the changelog on XDA
i have updated mine to 3.2.3-1 but it doesnt fix the problem, i tried following a couple of guides in youtube like changing the file system from ext4 to ext2 but still no luck, it didnt even let me change the file system for Data
i was on Android P when i tried that, but right now i just went back to full stock P without TWRP because i'm stuck with formatting Data (the most important part to clear out the restriction)
Any solution? i'm facing same.
