Start with a list of apps you installed after flashing your phone, as without it, there is no way of knowing what could possibly have gone wrong.

Download script and put it on MyDocs

HTML Code:

I've never used Miroroot but in view of this thread, I'd be very careful with it.

thanks it is the first time I see this topic but Anyway It's a new version without any problems


The idea simply Transfer some files from root to opt In a file named miroroot SO If there is a problem Only Transfer files to its previous ther is No damage at all

This script, in many variants (including from you) has already been discussed at length.

The only change I see in this "new" one is that you've selected a different set of folders, which probably most users don't even have (/usr/lib/debug, /usr/lib/gcc, etc.)

Plus you've shamelessly ripped this script from Thomas Tanner's original without even bothering to acknowledge that your work, if not a verbatim copy, is *heavily* based on Tanner's work.

The word "safely" is been thrown around way too much - plenty of things can fail, with this: return codes aren't checked, especially before and after the "rm" part; what happens if /home is full, and the copy fails? The original files are deleted, and there's no way to recover them. It doesn't handle the case of those directories already being optified, and it's susceptible to ^C.

Please avoid, this script will probably damage your system.
