Seeing there is no TWRP for the pixel 6 yet, was wondering if there was a way to backup my current stock rooted rom for I can flash other roms? Then flash back of I don't like it.
There's a twrp. You mind testing it for me?

An easy method of restoring to stock if you don't like a custom ROM is to use Google's recovery tool. Or you can use ADB as it has commands for backing up and - I think - restoring.

Flar2's AppDash works great if you have root for backing up apps and app data.

But thanks anyway for your CWM version here - I used it with N7000 and therefore didn't use TWRP.
Until now it was different here...

Flo version is booting which is a good sign. However, you get 2 errors when you try to create a Nandroid Backup:
E:FAILED to find partition size `/recovery`
E:FAILED to find partition size `/boot`
Edit: 1 Nandroid Backup created, going to test this soon and report more Bugs after some testing.

They are cosmetic bugs
Please provide a log on that error
I added a detection mode that seems not working on flo.
To fix it the hard way, provide me from adb shell
Code:
cat /proc/partitions
ls -l /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name
In recovery, it normally tries to resolve the links when i do not know the real mmcblk name for partitions. So, in addition to above adb shell commands, if you provide a log, I can see why links are not resolved on this device
For 4.3 roms, you must enable selinux context backup/restore in misc nandroid settings by the way

But I really need a log. Just go into "Custom backup and restore" menu, select boot and recovery only, hit backup
In backup folder, you should have a recovery.log file. Zip and attach here
Else, after the backup, "Advanced Menu" and select report error
I need to know why the readlink function is not doing its job to get what you see with ls -l command
I´ve included the log file to the dropbox folder Just to make sure it doesn´t get lost, also as an attachment.

0. Make sure you have full root access
1. Install a terminal emulator app from Play Store
2. Open it and run this command: su
3. Give the app SU access
4. Run this command: dump_image boot <path to your sdcard>/boot.img
5. Upload the img somewhere for me to download

Here are the files you need. Can you swap the internal to external SD?
hi all
MY POCO F1 IS BRICKED WITH NO FASTBOOT MODE OR RECOVERY MOD:crying:
There is a way to get my phone back to life by creating a backup
“backup.img”
(root the phone first)
Format your external MicroSD card with “exfat” system file, and the size of this SD card should be morethan 16 GB , which is the size of the whole partition.
Do a full factory reset, meaning wipe your cache, data, and internal storage using either CWM, TWRP, or PhillzTouch.
Insert the SD card to your phone and connect your mobile with ADB, type:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard1/backup.img bs=512 count=30535646
The size of the “backup.img” is around 16 GB, However, if you compressed it, it would be around 2 GB.
The way to back up “backup.img” https://www.droidsavvy.com/unbrick-qualcomm-mobiles/
Please create a backup "backup.img" and upload it so that I can download it
Any help is appreciated

Yes, operating in twrp you are basically running abd root in terminal and you are system-as-root in the file manager so be careful, back-up prior to any changes. Any apk managers has a hard time with system-as-root permissions in production builds unless your the root master topjohnwu lol

It should work in twrp; unless you have a recovery.from.boot file in your system. I would go to terminal and run # getprop and see what's going on, you may have a ro.prop that's not allowing what you want to change

$ service.adb.tcp.port=5038
I would change it with:
$ su -c resetprop service.adb.tcp.port=5555
Its all depending on the property and the location in the partition the files are in really in how its modified. What exactly are you trying to do?

It is generally not possible to perform file changes through fastboot/bootloader. To do so, you need to have a runtime environment such as TWRP. Bootloader/fastboot generally only handles partition images.

Not through bootloader or fastboot. You can dump an image, edit it, and reflash it, but this would all be much more complicated than using TWRP, which would allow you to mount the partition as r+w so you can effect the edit you want.
