@Firelord Yes I can open it. The default mount option on Windows 10 doesn't work with it (I don't know what windows 10 mount actually does) but 7zip opens it so no problem. I have some confusion regarding rooting this phone though can you have a look at my other question please? android.stackexchange.com/questions/218626/…

@Firelord so I found the data partition and I have a backup of ~12 GB img file in my PC (that's what the internal sdcard size actually was). Do I have a backup of everything now? While the phone is in TWRP recovery, if I use adb shell and then do an ls, it shows me a bunch of stuff that are not inside the img file. THe adb shell's ls shows me a data folder and the contents of this are int he img file, but what about the other stuff that shows up in the adb shell's ls? There are things such as init, init.rc, dev, etc, sdcard, etc. Do I need to keep a backup of all these?

@Firelord Is this what I need to do to make an image of all the data? stackoverflow.com/a/41422730/1693203

The " enable USB Debugging" is the part I am hoping to bypass somehow through recovery itself, because although the phone has USB debug enabled in settings, I cannot use the screen to approve USB debugging when using adb (the approval dialog box that pops up with the RSA keys)

"pull the data partition into a disk image into your PC" So this would be like a CD ISO image? Will this be a complete backup of everything in the phone (including things such as camera photoes, music files etc + all the files I needed to have root in order to view )? The phone has internal sdcard of 16 GB so I should have 16 gb free in my PC for this?

Oct 31, 2021 02:01

@Firelord Seems to work. I downloaded TWRP and was able to adb as root. Now I have a backup of contacts2,db, and I also managed to find the db files for my sms messages so hopefully I can recover them too. What other interesting things are here that should keep a backup of? The data/data folder seems to have folder entries for the viber messenger. Would this have my viber conversation history too, or is this kind of thing too application dependent and we can't know?

user17915

Oct 31, 2021 02:01

@Firelord also I suppose the current root level access I have is only available during the recovery mode and won't be available if I boot into android. Is there a way to get permanent root access for the android OS as well, only through adb while in recovery mode? I am hoping if this possible I can find some way of streaming the screen contents to the PC and may be control the phone interface completely through adb. I'm sure this might be too much of a hassle, but is this something doable?

user17915

Oct 31, 2021 02:01

@Firelord thanks for the heads up. I will be going with twrp as far as possible. I don't mind getting my hands dirty trying to recover contacts from the database file as long as it's something possible to do. Just 1 question if you don't mind. I read this article customroms.net/faq/bootloader where it says first step to getting a custom recovery is unlocking the bootloader, and the phone is made in such a way that unlocking bootloader process itself wipes all user data. If this is true i don't see how my data can be safe if i flash a custom recovery...

user17915

Oct 31, 2021 02:01

@Firelord ... but the links i posted earlier seem to indicate it does not wipe user data. Is this something i should be worried about?

user17915

Oct 31, 2021 02:01

@Firelord The reason I am asking is reading the forums I linked to above, they all talk about flashing a custom recovery and then rooting the phone. What I want to make sure is while the phone is at the recovery screen, will it have root privileges or not.

user17915

Oct 31, 2021 02:01

@Firelord... What I want to have happen is this. (1) I flash custom recovery in the phone using Odin (2) I booth up into custom recovery (Vol up+home+power) [the screen is broken so I can't see or touch anything, everything upto this point will be based on trial and error] (3) Assuming the phone is now at the custom recovery screen, I connect USB cable, then adb into the phone. I get an adb prompt with root (#) access...

user17915

Oct 31, 2021 02:01

@Firelord... Have I understood how this works correctly? Should I expect to be able to get a root shell when I adb into the phone while it is booted into the custom recovery? Will just flashing the custom recovery also get me root capability at the custom recovery screen? I am considering trying out (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529064), (theunlockr.com/…) or (forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/…)

user17915

Oct 31, 2021 02:01

@Firelord I am going to risk it and try flashing a custom recovery (from here, for this model: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529064). Posts, such as these, android.stackexchange.com/questions/188124/…, seem to hint that flashing custom recovery will not erase data or contacts. However, I want to make sure that flashing a custom recovery will definitely give me root access...

no it is not encrypted, but I cannot even go to firmware download mode (that is, I cannot be sure whether the phone properly reached firmware download mode or not) because of the broken screen

user17915

no the contacts were completely on the phone only, except for may be viber contacts which also used to show up on the phone contact list somehow (not sure how exactly that works)

" One of the more common justifications of colonialism was that the British (Anglo-Saxon) culture was the pinnacle of societal achievement, something that had to be imposed on more 'primitive' races because they weren't sufficiently sophisticated to develop or appreciate it on their own." Is this how a common person in that time would justify colonialism, or is this something future historians deduced what the people then must have thought? Any links to something I can read to know more about this?

Q: Is this a common romanization?

I recently read an article that employed an interesting type of romanization. Here is an example: It looks like a mix of RR and Yale that replaces digraphs like eo or ng with IPA-like characters, but I couldn't find this type of romanization listed anywhere. Is this an established system and if ...

@FaheemMitha may be it is, I am still learning this so still don't know much about it to say either way, but it's preventing me from restarting the httpd service. But the problem seems to be the ErrorLog /var/www/html/username1/error.log line in the VirtualHosts config file. The system is preventing me from creating file inside /var/www/html/username1/.
