Backup Basics - WuddaWaste - 2013-10-18
After reading the H9500 bricked thread, a few things occurred to me:
1. stevenma61 is both a genius and a saint for all his efforts. We are very lucky to have him here at China Phone Arena.
2. I'm also lucky to have never bricked a phone.... but my day of reckoning will surely come.
3. Right now I have a fully-working phone. I've backed it up a few times using Titanium Backup. The backups are on the SD card. Technically, I don't know what's in a backup since I've never had to use one.
4. Surely there are others out there who are less fortunate than I.
My questions:
1. If I have a totally stock virgin android phone and I want to put a backup online for myself and others to use in case all hell breaks loose, what are the things I need to put up for people? (preloader, scatter, etc etc)
2. Are these things included in my Titanium Backups somewhere, or do I need to use other specialized tools to create them?
3. Is there a centralized repository for such things? I could upload there and link it here. If not, should I just upload it anywhere and link it here (but in the S7589 forum)? What are CPA's favorite upload hosts?
4. Assuming I have a custom ROM (which I do), is there still value in uploading these things for others?
Thanks in advance CPA!
