[Q] How to save a OS from the device - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have searched the forums here and not got a clear answer so this is the reason for my post.
Lets say, "my friend" has a Android phone that has official ICS in it but has yet to be released to the public. If this friend was to share it with another friend how might he go about extracting the ROM including the radio file so that it could be flashed to another device?
I see that Jade kitchen is talked about quite a bit but not a simple process and from what I can see it might not copy the radio file.
Any help would be great.

Hehehe not sure if this will work but I'm interested to see. How about the friend with the ics root it and cmw, then make a backup, make sure its in the SD card. Then restore it on the other phone by switching cards? Just an idea from a noob

What??? What threads are being deleted??? Still see them here on my end...
Get ROM manager and download one of the 2.2 .zip files ...reboot in clockwork and find your file and install.

To answer your question click on the treads that either have Froyo, JK2 or JK6 in their title and download the rom. You can only flash these roms through clockwork recovery. Have fun with android 2.2.
P.S. next time please post a Question thread in the Q&A part of the Vibrant forum. It will make things easier on everyone.
Welcome
I suggest you TAKE your time & READ this very carefully
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732458
It'll save you a lot of headache & you'll learn a lot
Or if you are having that much trouble searching through the threads always go to the directory(Bible) which is always the first thread in the development section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111When I first started coming on here it was always my first stop. There are now 7 flashable 2.2 roms and a few odin 2.2 roms. The flasheables are all dated after 11/15
And yes use Q&A for questions unless you like getting flamed.

[Q] Android noob need help

Hello, I have a samsung galaxy s 4g and my brother has a samsung vibrant. His phone is currently running on eclair and he wants to update it to froyo through samsung mini kies. He still hasn't done the update because he is afraid that it might wipe his phone and even after searching thou any information on weather or not it will wipe the phone. Im fine if my phone gets wiped because all i really need are my contacts which are backed up but my brother has a lot of important information on his phone that he does not want to loose just because of an update. So is it safe to update?
Just to be safe..
tell him put put things from his INTERNAL SD CARD on his computer. Who knows you may get erased... i didn't.
Eternal sd should be fine, but you can save if you have like super-duper important items there.
Well 1st off u would b better off looking for the answer in galaxy tab forum and from what I know thar if u use mini kies it doesnt wipe your memory

You should start off by reading the stickies in the Development section

Thanks, so I guess its safe to update.
And I did read through all of the stickies and I did do thourough searches through this forum and I did not find a clear anwser so to those saying go look at the stickies isn't going to help, just simply stating an answer is much faster/easier way to get an answer. Just saying yes or no or providing a link is much easier than saying you should look at the stickies.

Im not saying it to be a jerk . Im saying look at the stickies so you dont F up your phone . Just back up your data as usual and you could use mini kies to update . Or you could flash a pre-rooted custom rom found in the Dev section. Make sure you familiarize yourself with odin (I use v1.3 /most stable from my exp.).

Ohh, well thanks for helping out then. I just responded like that because I grew tired of responces like that and one of the responces told me to look at the galaxy tab forum which really doesn't even make any sense. Ill probably just update my brothers phone because I dont want to mess with it and accidentally delete important information. Ill be flashing custom roms on my galaxy s 4g though once krylon gets cwm or something else up and running on this phone. Its a shame that there aren't any devs other than him working on this phone.

One person telling me would have been enough! You all remember your first threads, chances were you posted in the wrong section so take a chill pill!
Anyway i sorted it by repairing permissions from cwm at boot.

What do you mean by radio?
As far as I could find there is no radio update for this tab. Unless I've missed it, then I'm also interested in the details =D.

I have read in the rom threads things like, "if you have updated your radio to the GT-P7500 you must do this and that..."

new clockwork recovery???

I know i'm going to get bashed for putting this in the dev section, but we really should have a general question for just t mo and not the entire line of phones. I wanted to know if there was a newer recovery out for the t mo variant. The one in the root guide works with no sd card support. There was another one being talked about which had sd card support and worked on my backup but errored on data during the restore.
That problem was fixed.
As stated, it was fixed; you need to flash the CWM recovery v4 from team epic in odin.
Is that the one in the new tool kit that was released?
Maybe posting in the right thread would give you politer and more specific answers. Just a suggestion. :good:
