[Q] CWM 3.0.0.8 Backup Error - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need some help. I am not a noob. I have just rooted my girlfriends Samsung Fascinate and installed CWM 3.0.0.8 I went to do a backup / nandroid of the stock rom before I made changes and it came back that there was an error during backup process. Can someone help if you have come across this before or if you my just know what to do to get the backup to work.

cwm3 will not do nandroid backups of stock roms. You need to use cwm2.5.1.x if you want to nandroid a stock rom.

Fyi, you could atleast say thanks or that didnt help, but not responding is almost an insult.

Sorry that I am just now saying something. Thank you for the info I really do appreciate it. I ment no disrespect by taking so log but I am a very busy person and I don't check the threads that often. This is the first time I have been on since I made the thread. This is all a hobby for me and I don't live on here. So in the future if you answer something for me or are waiting on a reply from me please sit tight. I will respond in a weeks time.
Anyways once again Thankyou very much.

your welcome. Im probably on xda way more than I ought to be lol. I wasnt necessarily waiting on a reply...its just the simple fact I have given help or advice to many posters in the past and then they never respond to the thread. That pretty much makes the thread useless at that point. I thought this thread was going the same direction, but you responded. Thanks

I have had time to try the different CWM and this has fixed my issue. Thank you

Big mistake! Bionix.zip not found

I wasn't thinking at all! throwing a ton of apk files.apps, games, live wallpapers like thousands... In my downloads folder where my zips are bionix fusion, voodoo, project core. and deleted most of the folder out to put them in separate folder. Voodoo is still there core is to but I can't find bionix... But my phone is fine... I'm worried it's gunna **** down any time or won't start up next time I re boot or shut down...
Vibrant Bionix Fusion
Uh, once it's been flashed you shouldn't need it there anymore. I'm assuming you are talking about your ROM file?
Yes! My kernal files are still present.. Ahh man I was freakin for a lil bit I thought I might have been like deleting tw on stock rooted lol
Vibrant Bionix
OP please read more about what you are actually doing when you flash ROMs. The ROM or kernal is not running from those zip files. Those are just needed to install. Once you flash them you can keep or trash them - it doesn't matter.
What IS problematic for you is that you have no concept of what you are doing to your phone, and if you don't educate yourself by reading A LOT before flashing you will be in for a world of hurt someday (probably soon.)

Actually pdefazio had it pretty spot on. I don't believe s/he was trying to be condescending, just trying to point out that fact that not knowing how a ROM works (e.g. *.zip for install only) will only make it tougher for you if you run into problems. We're here to help YOU (if possible), don't take it as a personal attack from an anonymous nerd on the net. Knowing is half the battle, blah blah blah =)
To get back to the OP, glad you've solved the non-issue with accidentally removing the zip file. I don't know if you've got Droid Explorer, but you can pull your nandroid backups off the phone and keep them on your PC if you're running tight on space if it's installed (easier than working adb imo).
~SB
I remember my first flashing experience. I wasn't happy with what I flashed, but I screwed something up and ended not even being able to turn my phone on. I now read extensively not only about what I'm flashing, but about what the bugs are with that rom, multiple ways to backtrack, what the files I'm screwing around with are for (in the case of other non-rom changes), what happens to the files I'm screwing with when I flash said non-rom changes, and what alternatives I have to flashing whatever it is that I'm flashing. You really should read up a lot more, if you're going to void your warranty. You'll end up with quite a mess if you don't.
No, I believe pdefazio was trying to be condescending, as well as all the other "anonymous nerds" on the net...I am kinda new to all this flashing stuff and i have been TRYING to read a lot and every forum I come across there is always someone talking down on someone else ex.... "Why are you asking that question?" "look on a different thread"....its kinda hard to even begin to try and learn this android stuff cause there are few people actually willing to help you, making it difficult to know what questions a person can post or not. Not only that, THESE "nerds" expect you to automatically know and be hip to all the Android lingo...all I am saying is that if YOU are not going to help someone's thread then stay the F*** of it and dont talk Sh*t.......sorrry i didnt answer the original question, just wanted to post this after reading the thread.
So you use your first post to resurrect a month old thread based on a ROM that no one uses anymore?

[Q] to root or not to root

i have no idea what kernels, roms and modems are, yet i want my phone to be as fast as possible with the least amount of lag, to be able to download better apps (root required), and to uninstall bloatware(?). will "voiding my warranty" be beneficial to me and make me EXTREMELY happy with my vibrant as opposed to just fairly happy with it, or does it involve things way over my head that wont be worth my time and possible risk (bricking it)? to root...or not to root...? thanks for your opinions and advice!

IMO the benefits of rooting your phone does outweigh the benefits of leaving it stock (for warranty purposes). It looks like you know what you can achieve by rooting but before you decide to, I really do recommend that you read up on every sticky there is on this forum. I did tons of lurking and even when I joined, I literally lived in the reference threads before I decided to root mine and my husband's phone. Personally, I did it because our phones began to lag so much and my hubby's phone was in desperate need of reflashing to stock (it was crashing randomly and relocking itself after unlock - it was a good thing I had saved our codes). Just having ROM Manager and Titanium Backup saved so many butts on this forum when unfortunate things happen while experimenting.
Take my advice...
Rooting your vibrant can be "glorious"... if you follow directions.
First read some "first time" threads... get familiar etc..
Some advice.
1. Use one click root, or some other "one click solution"
2. After rooting, start small by installing clock work mod.
MAJOR: Make a backup... NANDROID BACKUP SAVES EVERYONE!
3. After this, start applying some mods like lockscreen etc...
4. Then start by flashing kernels. (start with voodoo... this makes the phone fast)
(then flash bali, you will get 1.5 days worth of battery life, with 10% to spare)
5. Then flash roms! They can change your phone experience!
Be sure to read directions, and don't be afraid to ask 10000's of questions on threads to make sure you know what you are flashing (just make sure it hasn't been mentioned on the first post)
do i only have one kernel and one rom at a time or can you have mult kernels/roms installed?
Op, I would encourage reading the guides in my signature. Let me know if I can help.
Rooting is the best thing you can do for your phone in my opinion.
Bro take a look at some post and you better follow directions... its the best thing for your phone, just like a new girl u have and u ask how the hell you could get her.. lml get familiar with odin because it will be your best friend to unbrick... also get z4root app to easy root, search in the bar for it cuss its not in the market... anything just ask me brother..... but first get familiar with all about rooting this phone ... gonna skip some bricks like happened to me when started

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Root is great fella read up on it. You can always unroot and what not if you need to take it back
I use swype so expect bad grammar and errors
And I would say the exact opposite about one-click roots.. your choice man. And this phone is incredibly (incredibly) hard to brick...
You guys are talking to a phone!
The phone wants to know and you answer lol your being mocked.
OP (vibrant) correct me if im wrong.
If I am well then take s15's advice and learn from him thru his sig

Actually, just in case you won't to look at options...
here is a guide I typed up for someone last night that lists the steps of going to ODIN > Root > CWR > Flash
Here are the steps.. again, I have more detailed guides but this shows you the process pretty easily.

OP anything you need just pm me, well pm me before rooting so you dont be bored reading, ill provide you with all you need including eugene froyo that does not brick... pm me and ill tell you everything you need brother
Yeah, be sure and read some and then if anything doesn't make sense or you question the process, just let me know. Then go back and read again... you will be confident in the steps. It's not hard.
Telling someone not to read because it's boring is so uncool.

PLZ Help WIth Stock Performance Fix

Can someone help me Do the performance Fix for stock 2.2.2 On 351 , i have streakmod , i tried getting the file 3.1.5 and did install it , but my dell goes into bootloop wen i restrt , plz can anyone guide Me
Well, if you actually had read the thread where you pulled the performance fix from you would have known that the performance mods only work on ROMs 309, 315, and 318. It's absolutely no surprise that your Streak bootloops when you install the performance mod, since you're replacing a newer kernel with an older one. There are no performance mods for any ROM newer than 318, so do not install the performance mod.

Man, u wrote all that , u should hve said yes or no , can anyone tell me can I flash stuff in stock rom , and frm which roms I can come bck to stock through the recovery image that I made using streakmod
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
Answering your last question first, a nandroid backup will restore the Streak to the way it was the moment you did the backup, with the exception of the baseband and amss. Those two things are only restored with an official Dell ROM. So it should not matter what ROM you switch to, though I recommend caution if you go use StreakDroid 2.x.
What stuff are you looking to flash in a stock ROM? If you have StreakMod as your recovery you can flash from it, and are in fact supposed to when rooting the Streak, which I noted in your other thread. So it is possible to add stuff to a stock ROM using StreakMod.
Finally, addressing your comment which I believe was directed at me, virtually everything you have asked has been addressed in other threads, which is why in your other thread (already linked) I gave you a link to the sticky and told you to read up. I'm not here to hold your damn hand.
P.S. Proper English please? "You", not "u". "Please", not "plz". Typing like that shows us that you're in a hurry to do something that requires some time and effort. Not to mention it's f**king more difficult to read than if you spelled it out like you were taught in grade school.

He's just like another noob I dealt with recently. He wanted to upgrade his Streak from 2.2 to 2.2.2. So, like a good egg I provide him the link to the sticky and mention to him to use the search engine next time. The response was essentially this:
"why is this section here if all you're going to tell me is to google stuff?"
Then as a follow up, the noob comments that he's looking for a "professional's answer". After I got a laugh out of that last one and explaining to him exactly how things work around here, he tries to apologize for "hurting" me and finishes up with this gem:
"I want to update my Dell and nothing more. If you can help me or want to help me then give me the right links." (emphasis mine)
While my reply was rather civil in that I told him if he wanted one on one tech support I charge for it, what annoyed me almost as much as his original reply to my posting the sticky was him begging for "the right links". Begging for the right links isn't going to change the fact the links are in the sticky! It's no wonder that developers are leaving this site in droves when they see drivel like what is in this thread from people who don't want to take the time and energy to learn about their damn devices so they can actually do the work themselves!

Yeah I remember reading through that, I LMAO at that one... and you are right, devs are leaving XDA in droves, not just from the Streak but from all the device threads because the moderators are more concerned with the language we use to address the noobies than doing THEIR job as moderators and keeping the newbies in line, we the experienced users don't need any moderation, it's the noobs that need the guidance and should be repremanded for posting NEW threads about worn out subjects...

Even I occasionally make boneheaded posts, such as asking what the Dell Settings Provider.apk actually does and whether I actually needed it. No one answered the thread, I believe because it was thought to be an obvious question that didn't need an answer. So I experimented and deleted the file. I didn't have any issues, which is a good thing. I did however search before I made the post and did not find anything either.
We did not have the benefit of the sticky nor The Manii's list of safe to remove apps to make it easier on the noobs. There is nothing wrong with noobs asking questions, but you know full well that we're getting too many noobs lately running to the site for help after doing something wrong instead of searching for the answer before posting. That kind of BS needs to stop.
To the OP: keep asking questions, but make sure you use the XDA-Developers search engine instead of Google to find things before you post. It works better.

Can't get Galaxy Note to Root via Odin

I'm trying to root my i717 Galaxy Note. I'm still on Gingerbread, so I have been trying to use Odin v.1.85, but it keeps failing. I have downloaded the latest USB drivers from Samsung, but nothing works. Any suggestions?

not to discredit person posting first link or the author of the first link, but STUDACRIS's link sure seems a lot easier to understand and from my experience has always been sound advice.
im sure its just me, cause I always want to play things a little safer, whether its overkill or not. I don't understand why someone would make a seemingly large leap from GB to JB in one swoop, let alone rooting the GB before hand.
again, that's just me. if Samsung or carrier is providing the unrooted upgrade, I let them take care of that leap and they are responsible, then rooting is the only thing I have to worry about not screwing up. better safe than sorry. its a marathon not a sprint.
absolutely no disrespect meant. its your phone not mine.
best of luck to you my friend.

HELP!

Hello there. Basically, I was on the newest (I think) Alliance Rom with Dorimanx kernel for s2. however, it began to get quite buggy, and I tried to flash a new kernel onto it. Siyah. then I tried to flash Cyanogenmod onto it. Restarted, phone won't load past the siyah logo. But I get the siyah recovery menu thing still. But when I try to install the cyanogenmod zip, it fails. I have no other roms on my sd card, or kernels, for that matter.
Please can somebody advise me what to do. I need my phone for work in 5 hours! I was thinking a fix possibly with Odin? Although, I'm guessing if I wiped the phone, kies will no longer be on there. Not sure what it means for it.
thanks.
It's Jellybean by the way
1) Use a more descriptive title than 'HELP !'. Many people will ignore your thread/not read it for that alone (which means you might miss out on help).
2) If you've still got CWRecovery, you still should be able to flash something without resorting to Odin. I would suggest perhaps you're not following the instructions on the first page of the CM thread to the letter. Try it again.
If you really can't flash anything in recovery & still have bootloop (I.E recovery seems broken), get a stock rom from Samfirmware, flash it with Odin = clean slate & you can then re-root your phone & have another go at flashing whatever rom/kernel you want to use.
Thanks, and thanks for telling me about the title, I guess, my apologies, but urgency is urgency.
I can't get any zip files onto my phone or the SD card. so flashing from the phone is pretty much a no.
I can try Odin, however, I barely know what it is. Is anybody willing to just tell me what to click?
No spoon feeding allowed mate. No one will hold your hand and tell you what button to click. I may as well fly over there and do it myself.
If you want to know about Odin flashing click the link in my signature and look at the section on how to flash.
But, I still don't think you need to use Odin. In CWM recovery, Mount usb storage, connect to pc, transfer rom.zip onto phone sd from pc, unmount usb & then flash rom. Done.

Okay.. Seems a bit odd, being a help section, in a forum. I just figured since I'm dealing with something that could potentially break/brick my phone, I would rather do it right as opposed to wrong, considering I have never done it myself before.
Thanks though, I didn't actually know I could mount it without actually booting the phone. I'll try that.

Yet you still haven't changed it. Urgency may well be urgency, but you either want to make that small change & potentially get the help you need if you get stuck further, or you don't. No skin off any of our noses either way *shrugs*.
P.S - Forum rules are forum rules.
Edit - And the reason Hopper said what he said - this may well be a Q&A forum, but that doesn't mean we regurgitate stuff that's been asked/answered thousands of times over the past two years for any n00b who thinks they deserve same.
I'm not even being harsh with what I say. I didn't write out the steps, but I did give you a direct link to a place which lists the steps. That's a legitimate A to your Q.

Edit - And the reason Hopper said what he said - this may well be a Q&A forum, but that doesn't mean we regurgitate stuff that's been asked/answered thousands of times over the past two years for any n00b who thinks they deserve same.

Just a few more that just say "help". I can see that it is not posing a ****ing problem. Not to mention (may be my fault) but I don't see any way to change the title.
As far as I'm concerned mate, I wanted help with something, went to the HELP section of a FORUM, and got help, so you can go **** yourself if you have a problem with that. I don't go to forums to just chat about my day. If what I did ask was too much for you, then just let someone help who is more helpful than you. I didn't ask anybody to troll the net for files, or anything of the sort, I asked for legitimate help with something I didn't know how to do.
Either way, I've managed to fix the problem, so no more needs to be done.
Thank you to those who gave me advice.

Please show respect to senior members. They have been here longer than you, obviously dealt with problems much similar to your and want you to search for yourself, that is why the search buttons are there. Did you watch 'I am a noob in XDA Developers' video?
And you obviosuly have no idea why they say this, but it's because you will learn for yourself. In near future you will search and find answers yourself if you start now (which they are trying to make you do) other than just relying on other people to do your work for you. That's not the way XDA developers work.
So rather then being disrespectful and throwing insults at them, you should thank them

Yes - I appreciate the fact that I was helped the amount I was, but I could say the same. Is that the best way to treat new members? I have already apologized twice for my mistakes, at least, and I STILL have people telling me I'm doing things wrong. Also, it's not like I haven't thanked them. I think I thanked them at the end of nearly every post. Anything else to pick at?
I'm not trying to disrespect - just trying to prove my point. If you didn't want to help me, don't, just don't ***** about the fact that I wanted help. :/
My problem is fixed, that's all that matters.
thanks again.

Yes it's the right way to treat new members.
You are doing things wrong, respecting other members is a rule of XDA and you're not doing it - so you're doing it wrong.
Good you thanked. But was i necessary to disrespect. Yes you were disrespecting.
Prove your point? That it's okay to spoonfeed newbies and making them think that they wont have to do anything, just ask and wait?! No that's not right, as already stated.
You wanted to help how exactly? To tell us that we should do it 'the way you like it'? No that's wrong, accept it!
Dont come here and try to flame, there's a rule against that. Take you crap elsewhere, cause with that attitude you probably wont get much help around here or anywhere else for that matter.
This is my last post and visit here, so dont even bother commenting if there anything about me.
