What do you mean command mode?
If you mean it ends up in ClockWorkMod Recovery mode, then it's supposed to do that. That's how it works.

If it ends up in the Stock recovery, then you'll need to upgrade your recovery tool to ClockWorkMod from the ClockWorkMod thread.

I'm guessing you have the right one since you've been posting in that thread as well
 
When I run it adb.exe it pops up the command prompt for a split second and then closes it but does not make a backup of my phone. And when I load up the command prompt and type it in, it gives me the infor for all the switches to type in

I see someone else posted this too and you said it needs to be rooted first. So how do I backup before I root incase it bricks or I want to go back to it was before rooting?
 
When ur in the "All Things Root" section it's pretty common knowledge u would probably need to be rooted.
 
So then basicly I misunderstood somthing, and I cant made a backup of the current phone before I root? I would have to utilize a backup somone else made is what your saying if it bricks durring rooting?
 
Ok, rooted, shabby.9, simpleblue 4.2 ciq removed (thank god), koumakernel .2, usb debug enabled
downloaded zip, extracted to directory, ran batch. First time said 'adb out of date.' rebooted back into recovery. All commands failed. Rebooted phone, ran batch again. Rebooted into recovery and all lines claim success. Resulting boot phone and pda all 0b. Repeated attempts all result in 0b files... Ideas?

rooting won't brick your phone
 
Packer 2.0 works like a champ. PDA took about 3 1/2 minutes to pack so have patience. Whole thing maybe around 5-6 minutes. Packed CTMOD 2.3 with A2SD.

I have not tried to restore this but I assume you need the Odin and OPS from the last packer zip.

Pretty Cool and Humerous batch file Kouma. Great job on a valuable tool.

Thank you for your work!

Odin and the ops file haven't changed, but in case they ever do, the latest are always in the Odin thread

It takes me 507.421 seconds (8 minutes, 27 seconds) to run through this, when including the /cache partition. 6 minutes almost exactly without.

I timed it by REMing out the pause statements and built an application in LabVIEW to run a precision stopwatch while monitoring the .bat :)

This includes the extra 30 seconds of wait time in the batch file to reboot the phone twice to get around the problem with ADBD causing the phone to boot into recovery twice when the reboot-recovery command is given

It looks as if you don't have your SDcard in the phone.
The packer needs to use your SD card for swap space since the files are a bit large. You may need about 500MB free on your card for it to work.

View attachment adb.zip

try with this adb.exe, it's an older version. I updated to the latest version of adb.exe from the android SDK to save a bit of space. (old is 565 KB, new is 158 KB)
The version of adbd that resides on froyo phones may not be compatible with the newer adb.exe
 
purely out of curiosity, what is the efs file for? i see where the rest go adn how they get tarred.

i just saw the csc explanation in another thread and got to wondering what files might get flashed under efs.

efs isn't listed as a partition in the prevail's ops

If samsung is following a consistent naming structure, it could mean Extended File System, or possibly External File System, and may be reference to the SD-Card?

We'd have to poke around other phones and find one that uses it to figure out what it actually means
 
Added version 3.0

Put cache file extraction back in

Reorganized the entire process to make it a bit quicker and reduce the amount of free space needed. It now only needs about 700 megs free on your SD-card for the pda.tar and the files that go in it. It only does one tar at a time now, and that is the biggest

Added some compatibility for older versions

made things a little quicker. With cache it now takes 7min42sec, shaving off about 45 seconds
 
Alright y'all ive been all over every thread and all though i've been a noob for the last 3 months and have tried not to bother anyone where a question has benn answered......so, here is my noob question:i have backed my phone several times through the 2.1 now i screwwed the pooch and somehow erased my sd card i have trird alll kinds of scenarios and keep getting a code 5 in the progress box in odin.....help me please!!!!! i will continur to try and restore it.....i dont want to have to at the begining........
 
Gotta give 3.0 a try. Thanks for all the hard work and attention to detail.

I guess that if you use A2SD the packer will not really back up your apps since they are on the sd-ext.

nope, just make sure you take your SDcard out if you do a factory reset in CWM because it will erase your sd-ext partition.

all the symbolic links that are for a2sd will be preserved though.
Earlier today, I used ODIN to flash my phone back to gingerbread stock to see if the stock recovery would fix the /cache partition to rfs (it does in case anyone else was curious).

I then put the sd-card back in and ODINed back to my backup. All my apps showed up just fine, settings, contacts, ringtones, everything
