Here is a guide I created to restore your beloved Chromebook to stock bios and OS (if you have no back-up of the stock bios)
Thanks to MrChromebox and John Lewis for the help and files!

Is there a way to look up the shellball version to use if we were dumb and didn't write it down before trying to flash something?

Ok, first I've done some search and I've try different things...
I'd like to flash my Hero (T-Mobile) with an updated HTC ROM for the Hero, ok it should be easy, like in WM time ;-)
But I cannot run the "RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.38_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe" through Wine for example. So I've setup a virtual XP machine (VirtualBox rocks) But this don't work either...
So the real question: how to flash "official" ROM from microSD?
I mean I've probably to "unpack" the content of "RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.38_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe" in a certain way and use the update fonction from recovery mode. So if somebody has the answer it will be cool to share
PS: My Hero is rooted of course
Thanks
ok it seems my answer was here: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-24-11-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/
hope it will be usefull for someone else
Its rather this:

Once you have the patched recovery image, future updates are a breeze (just copy update.zip on the SDHC card and reboot).
Hi,
Very noob with a very noob questions
I read a lot about backups etc... Some have to be rooted first...
I'm used with my Windows computers to make a genuine unstarted system image (Ghost, now Acronis)
When I have a new computer, I take out the main HDD and make an image or boot with an Acronis boot disk and make an genuine image, can I do something similar with Android devices?
Is EFS the system image or just the system files, restoring an EFS backup is enough to make a device bootable again without Root?
Windows PC suitable for this? ADB I guess...
Perhaps it's not possible because I haven't see any topic about making an genuine image before first start of an new device or restoring a factory image... Every time Root is involved
Thank you to make me a little wiser Sorry for my poor english
You probably want an adb backup or a nandroid backup.
Hi GermainZ,
Thanks for the tip, I'll look for both alternatives, probably ADB I guess...
Will the backup be bootable or the simple fact to recopy all the files is sufficient to boot the device? Windows uses a boot sector, is there something equivalent in Android?
Thanks

The backup can be restored from your recovery (nandroid backup) or using adb (for adb backups.) You can't directly boot from it, not really.
For the boot sector, I'm not sure what that is for Windows. The bootloader, maybe? Android has that too, of course.
of course the bootloader I lost my brain I think
Is the bootloader a part of the firmware or is it copiable as a file, I'll find it out
On a Windows HDD it's a track (boot sector) but UEfI bios modifies the game now
So a full Android system restore is firmware + backup I guess
How to make image backup for whole the device that can I install it via sdcard on boot like ROM?
Thanks in advance.
No one know how to make image in EM6 like Cyanogen ROM Manager ?

Would like to know this also.
Invalid for M96X.
Caused me massive problem as there was no way for custom recovery to read onboard storage.
Had to dump original recovery from the depths of hell to restore it back to stock.
In case anyone's looking for it: stock recovery image for M96X S905X 2gb RAM, 8GB ROM
flash with RASHR app (through android)

I have an m96x and t95x pro. I am basically just trying to figure out a way to make a nandroid backup and a restore method. Does these two devices simply have no compatible custom recovery to make a nandroid backup and restore?

No one has made a compatible custom recovery for the M96X.
However restoring is easy as pie if you have the right firmware. I have it backed up and am about to restore a bricked box.

Unable to Restore TWRP Backup on Mini M8S II
Hi,
Bought this Box few days ago and now found several issues, one that bothered me the most was the dark screen (have read several forums where people complained about this issue). There are no options to increase or decrease the brightness. Anways I wanted to flash another firmware/update to see if the issue will resolve so I made a TWRP Backup using the UNOFFICIAL TWRP 3.0.2-0 Recovery Image for S905X which went smoothly but now I am trying to restore the device and all I get is errors every time I try.
TWRP Restore Error:
Error during restore process.
extractTarFork () process ended with ERROR: 255
Pls can someone help me to restore the TWRP backup on this crappy Box.
Thanks
Can I use it for a M9C Pro Smart Amlogic S905X TV Box? Thanks
Someone tried this on M96X-II? It seems to be M96X with 16 GB NAND memory chip.

Why you ppl posting link then deleting file!!!! I have mine threads they are 15 years old and links are still live...You guys just waste forum space
Hi, xda-developers
I want to backup my remix os system because i want to use and try different versions of remix os(like 2.201,202,3.xxx,..., x86 or x64).
Whenever i want to try different version i have to;
1-Write .iso image to usb
2-Install again from usb
3-Update Google Play components
4-Install some specific programs
This looks like basic to do but when you tried again and again and again, you will get bored. (about 1hour to done)
So i'm trying to copy system folders with root actions, it doesn't worked. It says 'Can't copy special file', so i tried to copy with 'cp -r /file /topath' it worked BUT when i use my backup MY SYSTEM WILL NOT BOOT UP. Stuck on RemixOS logo BUT when i try to backup with clonezilla it WORKED! I don't know why so i just want to know and find alternative method without 'imaging' to 'cp -r' backup. I'm not expert with computer or developer. I just want to try some different version of RemixOS.
I don't want to use 'IMAGING' method because i'm using linux on same partition so when i use 'image' i lost my latest personal data.
Best regards, Please help me about this situtation
Thank you
