The screen in my phone (using the xx fluxi kernel, 8/26) cracked, and I'd like to make a clockwork backup, but I can't find any documentation on the menu structure (I remember it being different from other CWMs). Could anyone give me enough of the menu structure to make a backup to the internal sd and mount the usb storage? And when you go back a level, does the cursor go back to the top, or remain on the last selected option?
Downloading it now, I'll flash, and get you a step by step key guide.

Alrighty, for Fluxi 8/26, from initial cwm menu, you're gonna hit volume down x1 for nandroid backup and restore, power button to enter, volume down x3 for backup to external, then power again to initiate. There is no confirmation press necessary. After that's finished, or from the initial menu (same thing) for mounting usb, you're gonna press volume down x4, power, volume up x2, power.

Just noticed you wanted internal, lol my bad, though I don't know why you would want to backup on a storage that's fixed to a broken screen... I'll edit in a minute

Even simpler, backup to internal is the initial option under nandroid backup and restore. So from cwm initial menu, volume down x1, power, power. There you go. This is, mind you, despite my initial thoughts of "search!?" and potential gripes of spoon feeding. Only reason I took 5 to help, is because the i777 is sitting right next to me, and I couldn't find anything to help, after a 10 minute search. So touche, salesman.

Thanks a lot, worked like a charm.
I don't own a micro-sd card, so I just used usb to pull it to my computer (although in retrospect adb would have worked). I was a little surprised the info doesn't seem to be out there, or at least not easy to find.
That makes sense. Glad to help

That occurred to me. You think maybe an index of kernels with their branching screens might be useful to the broken screened masses?

Couldn't hurt - would be a great go-to place, cause the last thing you want to be doing is struggling to dig up that info when you're pissed cause you just busticated your phone...
I sure as hell wish my computer worked! (Or, if I had the money to fix it... myself btw, not pay someone)
I would create there website with this information, link it here and spam it with ads baby!
I might see 20 clicks a month... but it's be worth it.

That would be a great resource, I had been thinking it would be nice if kernel devs documented this somewhere, but that'd be great too. An ASCII map of the menus could work as well. BTW, Is it possible to get a screenshot of the recovery menus (short of taking a pic of the phone)? I've never heard of it being done. I'd be happy to help once I have a working phone again.
Lol I'll look into how I might get screen shots and put something like that together. My s2 has been atrophying since I got the nexus, I'll enjoy doing seething other than looking for reasons to try unfamiliar devs stuff on a new phone

ICS update bricked the prime. it's now hung on the boot screen. where says "eee pad, asus, nvidia tegra"
called asus USA support, first asked to do a data wipe. did that and didn't work. now told to let it sit on the hanging boot screen to completely drain battery. then charge it for 2 hours. the tab will revert to honeycomb. once it boots, then go from there.
anyone know if they are BSing or this will actually revert?

I don't see any way that a power drain will melt the ICS away, that's pure bs. But you can still follow their instructions and be pleasantly surprised if it happens. Which then leads to the question, how about the rest of us, will our ICS update suddenly vanish and revert back to Honeycomb one of these days?

Surely, there seems to be a considerable amount of conflict between the ICS and the current crop of Primes out there. Missing serials, bricked tabs, dead gps/wifi, etc. What in the whole wide world is Asus doing for compatiblity between generations/ batches of these units with the latest build of ICS? I can only imagine one tired and overworked programmer staying up in the wee hours trying to finish up an ICS update so Asus can claim to be the first tab with the new OS. Quality, or the lack of it, is a serious issue here, the Prime fans are kept in the dark which makes the situation worse.
Its gonna work
Mine is totally fine but my Neibor did the update with a low battery and his stuck on the boot screen after the update. After the thing totally drained he plugged it in and charged it overnight and it reverted to honeycomb like nothing ever happened when he turned it on.

If it works for the bricked units it should also work for the nonbricks, or is there ai routine that can tell the difference between the two and prevents the fallback to the Honeycomb? This is a very interesting feature of the Prime, reflashing through a power drain process.

Thanks, I'm impressed! That means the boot process performs a check on the update to ensure completeness and accuracy and dumps the garbage if it fails. I believe it now.

It also means the Honeycomb is a permanent resident while ICS updates are tenants that come and go as upgrades become available. So there should be no way to brick a Prime if the Honeycomb is hard coded in rom.

well, if that's true, we learned something new. what prevents working units reset back to honeycomb when battery power runs out? some logical errors are in the theory.
very nice asus could write such feature into the firmware (but not able to write a stable update in the first place, that is if battery < x percent, prompt power, else continue update...)
seems odd.

Hey leo221, I think you should give it a try because some people have done it and reverted back to the Honeycomb. You have nothing to lose and if you unbrick your Prime then that would be great! Let us know the results so others will be informed. Thanks.
No but I read on the forums that people were able to recover their devices by lettering the battery drain when there were problems with one of the hc updates. I figured it might work with my issues after the ics update. I let it die, then charged it when I got home from work, still bootlooped.

More details please, why is there a difference? Does Honeycomb disappear altogether when ICS with gps fix is installed?
I think the difference between this and the non-bricked devices is that the OTA update didn't work, so when the battery totally drains it reverts back to the last working setup. May be wrong though. I'm sure it wouldn't work if you were using ICS and it bricked for some reason down the line after a successful OTA update.

Ok, the OP said,
"was the ICS update. when I do the vol down+power hold, it says I'm on US_epad-9.4.2.11-20120117."
so I assume that he will be able to revert back to Honeycomb, hopefully.
---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------
Just my own thoughts, it appears the process of updating to ICS opens up a register that allows the flashing of the ICS code into an eeprom device and when competed the register is closed but when the update does not take and the process hangs, the register is left open and the power drain wipes the eeprom. So the tab reverts back to Honeycomb, very similar to an image recovery process in the pc world.
Can you damage the device at all doing this? Also if I do this, and it went wrong, would I have to RUU again? Another question, I am on the stock ICS OTA and its rooted, is that where I need to be to do this?
It is possible but you have to be pretty stupid to mess it up. Just touch the pins that it says to. It might take awhile to get the timing right but you should have no issues

Well it's not so much that I don't think I could do it, I just wondered if there is any risk. If you do mess up, I am guessing you would have to RUU right?
Stock rooted is the best possible place to be when doing it. Just use an insulated wire and you'll be fine. As for the timing, I've had the best luck basically just machine-gunning it. When I actually wait the 1.75 seconds, it never seems to work.

No. Just pull up the troubleshooting page at unlimited.io and close to the bottom they have recovery steps. Just follow them and you'll be right back where you were.
EDIT: One more thing...back up your external SD card. It's supposed to restore it, but it's only been about 50% successful for me.

as long as you only connect the two circuits it tells you too all will be fine.. i helped someone who was nervous about hitting the other circuits so i had him cover the ones you dont want to touch with electrical tape if your that worried about. but all will be well if you follow instructions. the wire trick is a crucial part of the control bear procedure..
I actually screwed mine up because I didn't realize I was touching Pin1 to the pin above GND, I started it correctly but since it took a lot of attempts I forgot which pin I was using. It didn't immediately screw up anything but I found that my data connection was constantly dropping out, even when I went back to stock and S-On'd. I brought it into Verizon and they suggested a factory reset, which I said I had done multiple times and then they said they didn't know what else to do so I got a new one
There is no risk on the software side in the actual s-off process that I know of.
The only other risk would be physically damaging the phone.
Someone pressed to hard with the wire and damaged the pins on the motherboard.

The phone is likely bricked ...
The link you used is likely the same one another user tried yesterday.
It's not an I717 rom....it's actually a GS3 rom, and when flashed, instantly bricks the device.
You likely need a JTAG repair on the device, as it is hard bricked with no download mode.
Very sorry, it's a bad deal...but users "must" verify rom sources before flashing...
The link you used has bricked your device....g
Someone needs to report to the writer that they're referring people to an incorrect ROM. Granted its not their fault but damn. People do whatever the internet tells them to and we already have enough "bricked" threads.

so just one thing
should i try the usb download mode dongle thing first or try the JTAG service and are which ones on AMAZON are compatible with att note
Concerning this issue, there is room for improvement by devs and users both.
I have to say many of the liquid items are not organized well. After so many issues due to this you would think at some point they would be cleaned up. Also while I agree folks should confirm they have the correct rom,files,etc before flashing, it takes verry little to add safeguards to a rom making it device specific so it will not flash to an unintended device.
Just my two pennies.

Hi Everyone, I need some serious help - thanks in advance!
I have a LG Enlighten phone - I am a tech, although I am new to the whole smartphone thing (ya, I know, where have I been lol). Anyway, as you probably know it has limited internal storage. So I have a Sandisk 32gb micro sd card installed where I move things over to it to keep space open on the internal. The phone is rooted.
Ok, things were going well - and I am not sure what happened precisely, but obviously I must have moved something over to the sd card I shouldn't have. The phone went wonky on me after a reboot. I got stuck in a boot loop I could not recover from. So I did a factory reset (power button, home, and volume up). That went just fine. I activated just fine to. Problem is after that all I get is: Sorry! the application com.android.lgsetupwizard (process com.android.lgsetupwizard)has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.
You can press the force close button a million times (I probably have) and nothing happens. I have tried EVERYTHING to try to clear this and I can't get passed it. I've spent two days online reading forums, web pages, watching youtube videos - nothing has helped. Problem is, since I did a factory reset its back to defaults (I am assuming) meaning USB debugging and mounting is turned off because it is turned off as default. I can't get passed that infernal screen to turn it back on.
I don't have any data on here that I care about I just want my phone back. I don't mind flashing the rom but for the life of me I can't get at it!
When I go into restore mode, at least with the enlighten it doesn't give you options - it just shows the picture of the android for a few seconds then reboots. No idea what it's doing there.
I tried re-formating the micro sd card thinking maybe it was picking something up from there, that didn't seem to do anything.
I have Android Studio installed, I was hoping to do something through it - but again the phone isn't mounting when plugged into my laptop (windows 7) - it was before - no doubt because that feature is turned off because of the factory reset.
If you have ideas, please speak in small words with lots of steps. Thanks.
HELP!

Hi Everyone, I need some serious help - thanks in advance!
I have a LG Enlighten phone - I am a tech, although I am new to the whole smartphone thing (ya, I know, where have I been lol). Anyway, as you probably know it has limited internal storage. So I have a Sandisk 32gb micro sd card installed where I move things over to it to keep space open on the internal. The phone is rooted.

or has that been tried before

btw, i havent been here that long but i dont think you will get much responds because this is on a general thread, i think it would be better if it was in a helping section

I mentioned that I did a factory reset - but I didn't mention I did it several times (more than that even). Again, the enlighten doesn't really give you a lot of options when you do one. It shows a picture of the android and a file folder for a few seconds - maybe 10... then it boots. there's no option, no text, no choices, nothing. A bit confusing to be honest. Then it boots up, you get the language choice and activation call (which goes through fine) and then wham! back to hell and that freakin' error message.
BTW I posted here because there is no specific forum for the enlighten phone - I didn't want to post in a forum for another phone and get yelled at. Suggestions on a forum? and thanks for taking the time to reply! :0

I just thought I would post how I just resolved this. I got passed it by getting a PHONE CALL! I flipped the screen up to answer, yanked away. After the call was done I didn't do anything, the other party hung up. Then there was a REALLY long pause on the phone - the screen went black. I waited a couple of minutes, pushing the buttons did nothing. Then finally - the home screen came up. NO MORE BEING PROMPTED FOR A FORCE CLOSE! Yea! And it appear everything is working. Now before it decides to break again I want to flash the rom (I am running the bloated stock rom). Thanks for checking this out. and if you're looking at this cause you're having the same problem, I really hope what worked for me works for you too!

lol you and me both!
This was a learning experience, it was the first time ever I have had a phone with an external micro sd card which holds more data than the actual phone. Also, my first Android. So I am thrilled to have my phone back - I had been messing with it late last night when this happened and didn't sleep at all because, well, I thought I just bricked my phone!
Lessons learned:
You can move just about any app you want to the sd card, no problem - but what you don't want to move are the operating system files/apps. Nor do you want to convert them to "user apps" and move them. Or at least I don't. Since I don't quite understand how it works, and what that does. I had THOUGHT it would just mean everything would run from my sd card - maybe a smidge slower - but it would run. Well, I was wrong. lol. So I am passing that tidbit along.
Also, in the future, if anything like this happens - don't be so quick to do a factory reset, cause you now take away the ability to connect via usb... It is a last resort, not a panicked, go to move. At least not for me.
And, there is something called Rom Managers - install one on your freakin' phone. I didn't know about them. So I didn't have one. I could have resolved this whole thing sooner if I had (maybe).
Lastly, before you do too much - have someone call you or call yourself from another phone to see what happens. It fixed my problem. Of course I won't be rebooting before I flash my rom (wow, that sounds dirty lol) cause I fear the same thing happening...
That's all I wanted to share - cause that's what I learned. Sorry if this is super obvious to people - it sure wasn't to me.

Absolutely! I love to learn especially stuff I don't know much about - but... I wish it didn't happen in such a panic lol. Oh well, lessons learned... I wouldn't have been in a panic if it weren't my only phone, but it is. :0
I also wish it were easier to learn - it seems (at least to me) that every phone has enough unique characteristics that you really have to be specific about model and o/s. It makes searching for answers that much more difficult. What works for one person won't work for all or even most. You have to do a lot of trial and error. I suppose if I were a programmer perhaps it would be more clear to me on how these things tick. I am tho, just a tech - I fix and build stuff. Although I do have some programming ability, I would never even dream to call my pathetic scribblings code. lol Scripts yes, but really, really simple ones and thing more complex is just greek to me.
Is there any good place to see what kind of custom roms work best with the enlighten? I am thinking of putting one on there... I hate the bloatware stock rom.

i learned that lesson too when putting a rom on my phone, not everything works for everyone.
the best place i can think of is on here lol. i just assume the rom with the most replys and views is the most popular. you can try googleing because i know there are other mobile development forums out there that work on other roms. but i know this is the most popular forum.
