Help us to get Marshmallow beta - How to do a backup if you are a beta tester.

So, the general thread about the beta is a real mess, so here's one who will talks ONLY about the backup.

Only the people who have been selected as beta tester are supposed to reply in this thread, other don't have anything to do here!


Here's how to backup the firmware for us:

I managed to get recovery and root on this beta ;)

Now it's late here, so if someone else want to dump through a TWRP backup, here is how:

1) Unlock the bootloader

2) Flash the last TWRP via fastboot
-here is the recovery: http://ift.tt/1LXzdj4

3) Enter recovery -many thanks to @shoey63-
- Power off the phone
- Restart holding power button and volume down
- Release power button when you feel the single vibration whilst still holding power down
- Phone should enter recovery

4) Make a backup of system+boot and share it.


If you haven't already installed the beta BUT have been selected, do a backup of your TA partition: http://ift.tt/MQF5g8


If you have already installed the beta, you can still backup your TA partition but you will have to flash an old Lollipop ftf first, root your device and then backup the TA.

Once done you can unroot and wait Marshmallow OTA who will come back ;)


If something isn't clear or if you need help for any parts, just ask ;)
