Cannot seem to find the answer for this specific device. Will have the ATT USA version of the HOX+ and want to know:
What is the Best Back Up App to get before rooting or anything like that, something that can be found in the Play store? Obviously would want it to backup the basics like calender, contacts, email accounts, etc. Also though, need a backup app that will backup installed App Data like say my game progress for Dead Trigger. I'm reading that once you root your device all App Data is erased to scratch, would hate to invest hours into an app only to have to start all over once Rooted when it does become available for ATT USA version.
Then once i am Rooted, what is the best Rooted Backup App to install that will backup everything above and anything else i would need before unlocking Bootloader and flashing roms?
Seems there's unroot backups and rooted backups but hundreds on the Play store and hate to find out the hard way which ones actually work and do what i need and which ones don't.
Appreciate any help on this and hope soon there will be stickies in this thread explaining such things to Androids Newbs like me so once this device is released tomorrow you guys don't get countless threads started like mine. Thank you
Is this right?
Upon doing more research online please correct me if i'm wrong here. From my understanding this is the process needed to flash a custom rom:
1. Root your device. Rooting actually does not delete any data or files but virtually "unlocks" (almost like jailbreaking Ios) your device for further access/tweaking abilities.
2. Now that i am rooted i can install titanium backup (is this the best rooted backup, see it mentioned by you guys a lot here) and this rooted backup app will backup virtually everything on my device including app data.
3. Once rooted, i can now install custom recovery (what exactly is this and what does it do?). I'm guessing custom recovery is needed for unlocking the bootloader incase there is a problem custom recovery will recover your device (hints the name custom recovery)?
4. Now i have my device rooted, everything including app data backed up with titanium backup, custom recovery installed, now i can unlock bootloader. Once i unlock bootloader i will then need to restore my device with titanium backup. Now my phone is basically fully unlocked (fully jailbroken) and can now flash any custom rom available for my specific device (ATT HOX+ USA model)?
I see something mentioned about ADB but do not understand what this does or is used for? It seems it is another way of backing up the phone but if so, where is the backup file saved and used for exactly?
Just trying to figure this all out guys, please be easy on me. Trust me i've been researching and just trying to put all the pieces to this android puzzle together here, newb to android and first android device (very excited and just want to do it all right and not have issues of course).
If i'm missing any steps or have them out of order please let me know. I understand there is no root yet for this specific device but just saying if everything was available the steps i laid out is what i would do?
Thank you in advance for your patience and help, greatly appreciate the community here and all you guys do for us.
Sorry one more thing. Once i am rooted, unlocked bootloader, flashing custom roms having a great time. What exactly do the warranty people look for if i need to send my device in for replacement under warranty?
Do they void it if my device is rooted, or unlocked bootloader, or both?
If so, is root and or bootloader unlock reversible if i needed to return my device under warranty for say a hardware issue?
I'm sure i can flash the stock rom back so the warranty people won't see a custom one on the device but do they look for Root or Bootloader?
Just trying to cover all my bases here, thank you.
Hi Guys,
I don't know if this is the right section to post this question, I'm new in the forum.
I just kept my ex boyfriend tablet and now I'm experimenting with it, but I have a few questions:
If I want to use Odin to flash a custom kernel , let's say rj's Kernel, do I need to have the bootloader unlocked ?
How do I unlock the boot loader for Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 International version ?
Could you please help me Unlock the bootloader ? Could you please explain if I need the bootloader unlocked to install a custom kernel with ODIN ?
Do I need the bootloader unlocked to install a recovery and then do a Nandroid backup and then install a custom kernel ?
Device:
Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 - YP-G70 International version.
You use "PDA" instead. And what do you mean you need the bootloader unlocked?
Thanks TheKryptonite.
What do you mean by PDA ?
Could you please let me know the name of the program I have to use to unlock the bootloader for this device?
I've been reading like crazy and I understood when I unlock all data will be lost, but that's not a problem at all.
Then I would like to flash rj's kernel which comes with Clockworkmod and then from there I would be interested in doing some Nandroid backups and installing cyanogenmod.
In fact I would like to be able to do a backup even before installing a custom kernel so I can preserve the original kernel and android, I installed an application called something like nandroid backup and I managed to do a backup compatible with clockworkmod but the thing is that it skipped the boot and recovery folders, so it makes me think the bootloader is locked.
Please any comments are very welcome.
If there is anyone here from Ft. Lauderdale we could even meet in a mall and do the thing together with the laptop.
Thanks again for all your help honey.

I assumed you were using Odin to flash the kernel, yes? If so, you use "PDA."
Been searching for weeks now...asked here on another forum but not really getting any answers.
Can someone who knows how to flash TWRP or CWM please, please, please come forth with an instruction or a link to instruction on how to do so?
Reason i want to flash a custom recovery is because my phone failed an update and is now stuck on recovery. I want to backup my data before flashing ROM.
Mind you, i didn't have bootloader unlocked prior to the failed update. I just had it rooted using king root. I am not sure if it is mandatory for bootloader to be unlocked before flashing any custom recovery. Is it???
If yes, then since OS isnt loading, i won't be able to "install" anything to unlock bootloader. Therefore, is there a way to "flash"-unlock bootloader in order to flash the custom recovery? Is there a way around flashing a custom recovery on a phone that doesn't have bootloader unlocked and is now stuck on the stock recovery?
Basically i just want to backup by data. It doesnt have to be through the flashing-custom-recovery-in-order-to-backup-data method. Any method that will do the job is perfectly fine with me . I am inquiring about this method because all my searches led me to only this solution? Any other solutions are welcomed.
Thanks in advance!

First things first: What model is your phone? Is it the X2-CU (International), X2-EU (Russia, Europe and the Middle East), and the Vibe X2-AP (Indonesia, India, etc.) or the X2-TO (China Only). I can help you if it is the X2-CU or the X2-EU versions. Also, you DO NOT have to unlock the bootloader of this phone to install custom recovery. I know, it's weird, but it's true. If you tell me which model it is, I can give you the files needed to flash custom recovery. Good luck

OH BEAUTIFUL! Just when i was about to sink into depression. You are a life saver buddy!
It's X2-EU
Mine is X2-AP, can you give me the link to CWM Recovery?
Alright, I've received the email as the title implies but here are the questions I have before I proceed into the whole process
Is there a way to backup the stock image without TWRP? if so how do you get the stock image backed up if it's impossible how to back up the stock bootlover/recovery before installing TWRP if I were to get rid of TWRP one day?
also is it possible to just root the system without flashing anything to avoid data loss? this would be the preferred option actually, thanks! (Using the be2028 t-mobile version, if there's a premade backup that'll be cool too.)

I am just getting back to messing around with phones after about 5 years. So many things have changed and I am trying to get answers here as well.
I used TWRP and Magisk to root my phone. Installing TWRP will not wipe your data as it is flashed to a different partition but to install TWRP you have to unlock the bootloader and that will wipe your userdata. And no, I don't believe there is any possibility of rooting without unlocking the bootloader. If you decide you want to go back to stock, there are stock roms available and you can re-lock the bootloader on the N10 so you should be able to set it back to just like it was when you first bought it. I say should because I have never done it, just read that it can be done when I unlocked and flashed mine.
I wish I could be of more help but so many things have changed in the years since I've been away from doing this stuff I feel like a total noob again.

No I do not believe there's a way to gain root without flashing anything. There's no need to backup anything you can always use the MSM download tool to restore your device. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4204445/ You should be able to find most of the stock imgs on here already if you'd really need to flash back. I'm no expert either, just my experience with this phone in particular has been pretty straightforward. I never backed up anything lol.
Twrp is iffy i made a backup I'll never use, check out the post about flashing international rom to tmo and metro devices, that's my backup. Also you can run 11.0.3/2 firmware and boot 11 gsi's the post about lir rom has the info. Flash the product_gsi.img referenced there, I have never deleted my product partition and I only leave oos ten installed long enough to take ota's. There are more roms in the source forge page referenced with lir rom post. Flash magisk via recovery, either side load or twrp, pay attention that it flashes partition sda14(super image) or wifi breaks.
I dont know where else to look for the result to fix my issue.
I cant get my previously Nord N200 (de2118) i say previously because at somepoint ive flashed a 2117 at some point. before SHTF i was running /e/os unlocked and rooted. I was planning on switching to LibremobileOS and the WIKI was down so I decided to try it myself. Well now i cant get it to boot. And me thinking since ive use MDM before to fix it once, I've just been tyrying to flash TWRP and recoveries on boot and recovery and im at a loss. I cant get this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...le-slot-requires-unlocked-bootloader.4401113/ or this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4324431/
i've read almost unbricking and downloaded everything provided and im stuck aganist the wall and need some guideance.
if someone can help me fix this, you will be saving my ass. i have 20 hours beofre i need my phone!
