[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colonel_lp:
many thanks for the information, it was exactly what i was looking for, i have a backup of the stock rom that came with my phone, it just that it doesnt contain the radio, now i know the one it shipped with i can download it.

will get back to you on the splash screen, flashing a custom rom does not change this so have fun flashing.

I would reccomend trying the cyanogenMod 7 Rom, it has great customizable features, and once you get used to not having sense there will be no going back. The only thing i would look out for is i have noticed that GPS can be hit and miss with different roms, if you use it alot like i do then try using it before you spend too much time with one rom.

cheers

I have had a look inside the backup folder. It has

boot.img

system.img

etc

but nothing that indicates a radio back up. Is this already included in some file in the folder?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colonel_lp:
radio is not backed up. But there is a thread in dev that has a link to download different radio versions, i just wasnt sure which one came with a stock T-mobile phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
There is a T-Mobile DE RUU available, you can download that, and get rom.zip from it. Then you can find splash1.img inside the rom.zip. I am pretty sure that T-Mobile DE's and UK's splashes are similar.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colonel_lp:
thanks for that jkoljo. I should have thought that i could get it from any t-mobile rom as long as the res is the same.

Been meaning to ask you, you quote "It will create a backup of your phone partition 7 (radio config) to the root of your sdcard, I recommend to keep that somewhere really safe!" from your radio tool thread. Does this mean the whole original radio is backed up and i can restore it from that?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Nope, it is not the radio, just radio configuration partition. The radio configuration has lots of important system values in it. Radio reads values from that config partition, and then acts accordingly. Radio is an important part of the system, and it does more than you could imagine :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
Not a problem. My advice usually gets more daft as the pints go down. Fortunately a non drinking week for me.

When you flashed, did you wipe all the cache memories before flashing?

Which ROM?

If it was Leedroid, your sd card has to have certain partitions. If they get hosed, phone will never boot.

My fascinate has been running beautifully. I just transferred to blackhole 4.4 from sc 2.9.2, w/ jt's 4-15 uv ED10 voodoo kernel (previously on imnuts's 100mv drop voodoo) and ec01 radio. My main issue is battery. On any given day for the past few months, under battery usage, android system is always second. It seems that Abdoid system and os eaxh download over 10KB per minute, and up to a few megabytes an hour. They also have extremely high CPU usage times, and I believe this is killing my battery (between 6 and 10 percent an hour idling w/ the screen off) I think such drain is extremely weird. I've tried reflashing, disabling autosync, and disabling autobackup, but I still at am about a MB per hour. Any suggestions? Carrying around a charger really sucks...

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerskull:
Before I went to sleep last night I decided to backup my phone via recovery. After it backed up I rebooted and I had no service and a service called com.phone or something like that would force close every 5 seconds. I went back into recovery and reflashed CM7 and it bootlooped. I went back into recovery and restored a backup from the day before and it worked flawlessly. I hadn't changed any type of settings, I had just installed the new Swiftkey Beta and Robot Unicorn Attack between the 2 backups. Through trial and error and many reboots into recovery I found out that it is the data portion of the backup that was causing the problems. Does anyone know why this happened? I am a little nervous about doing another backup for fear of not being able to use my phone.

CM7 Stable

Incredikernal (latest)

hboot .92

3.0.0.8 recovery
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edbro9:
I suspect the backup had nothing to do with it. I'd bet you would have had the same problems after a simple reboot.

As far as I know, a nandroid backup simply reads from the phone and writes to the SD. I don't see how it could have changed anything on the phone itself.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerskull:
That's what I thought. I can't remember if I had recently rebooted at that point but after getting the phone working through a restore of the previous backup I tried one last time and restored the backup that had caused the problem and the problem persisted.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] -Liam-:
Bare with me as I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to tinkering with phones but can someone explain why there are so many variations in the results of flashing phones with, specifically, jvk gingerbread?

I flashed my phone a few weeks ago when jvk was initially leaked and I've had no issues. My battery lasts my 18 hour day from waking up to going back to bed with plenty to spare and pretty heavy usage, I've experienced no bugs, no issues with games, screen rotation problems, gps problems. Its been as good as, if not better than froyo (the battery life certainly is) but then other people experience all manner of issues with the same installation. Where does the inconsistency come from? Odin? The files? The phone? Why do bugs effect one phone but not another?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
i think it has to do with the previous ROM and files on the phone what cause bugs (apart from the bugs stated in the actual ROM )

thats why people HIGHLY recommend a full factory reset along with formatting sd card / datadata/ cache partition / dalvik cache and so on.

to ensure a complete and empty phone before installing the new ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 General] -Liam-:
You probably have a point.

Mine was stock unmolested 2.2.1 which had, had a factory reset a couple of weeks before I installed jvk due to failing to start.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
a lot more could be down to third party apps as well, and pulling the battery out without turning the device off.

this doesnt give the phone time to save open apps / files. this can cause issues in the long run.

you wouldnt just unplug your PC without shutting it down would ya so i guess the same thing goes for these modern day smartphones
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Plus its a beta firmware .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mossy1963:
Actually this is a very good question. I too installed JVK ... one of the first as soon as it was uploaded on 26th March. Rooted it, modded icons and its running like a dream ever since, no FCs,,fast, smooth and nearly 2 days battery typically.

Strangely for JVK I parted from my normal policy of factory resetting, formatting SD, using PIT with re-partition etc, and despite having flashed many ROMs and kernels - from 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, JV1, Darky, Kitchen etc. etc its still purring away.

So for me at least, with the minimum of effort and preparation, JVK has proved an absolute winner.

I'm amazed at how much flack is flying around elsewhere against it...it is very strange to find such a range of experiences with the same hardware and the same firmware
[Galaxy S I9000 General] -Liam-:
Same here. I'd be seriously tempted to leave all as it is when a final version is released unless there was something specific that it offered that jvk doesn't. You see lots of people having all kinds of issues but it wouldn't help if I just posted that mine was fine and they must be doing something wrong, hence my question.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
One of my coworkers wants me to root his but doesn't wanna loose all data if it's preventable, is this possible?
[HTC Inspire 4G] nightborne:
What is he wanting to keep, and is he going back to a sense-based ROM after rooting?

I retained my contacts by syncing sense, google, facebook, etc before rooting mine. There are some file explorers out there that don't REQUIRE root, so you could possibly use one of those to back up things to your SD card (I can't speak to their effectiveness - I purposefully kept my dependency on this phone low until I had rooted it because of this).

Has he tried using the HTC PC software for his phone? Perhaps there are some features in there that will allow him to sync the things he wants to keep?

I'll look for some tools if you can give me an idea of what he needs to keep... (trust me, my wife's only reply was "everything" when I rooted hers :P I feel your pain).
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
What data are we talking about?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Specificity is your friend, here at XDA... ;)

As mentioned, if contacts are have been synced to Google, then they'll automatically return.

You can also try MyBackup Pro for contacts, pics, and the other basic stuff.

If you want to backup app-specific data, if the app has a built-in back-up mechanism, then you're good for that app, but if it doesn't (and many don't), you're going to have to have root access in order for that type of data to be accessable by a backup app such as titanium backup, as it's kept in a special location that's normally of limits to any other app other than the one that "owns" that data. For example, when I rooted my phone, I said goodbye to all my angry birds scores/progress, and had to start from scratch.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
You always have to lose data to initially root. Then from that point you can always backup.

He can backup texts and all before rooting though.

Thanks yall, he was afraid of loosing everything but I assured him that his piktars and music were saved to SD, contacts to Google and SIM but his SMS, I don't know how to backup/save.

Sms backup and restore. It doesn't require root.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Silas0220:
Use My Backup Pro, it even restores your home screen setup to a point. I used it before rooting (pay for it! Its worth it)

-Sent from a block of aluminum running LeeDrOId
[HTC Inspire 4G] R32_Rocky:
+1

I normally use TB to backup all my apps (+ data for the apps) because if using Apps2SD, it remembers and put the files back in the same place.

I use My Backup Pro for all my other data; sms text messages, mms, contacts (can NEVER have enough backups of that, LOL), calendar, browser favorites (seems to also hold my cookies and passwords, a major help!!!!!), music lists, and as mentioned, a near copy of every page of your desktop screen - icon placements, etc, which also is a major time saver.

So pretty much I use both, and paid for both, worth every penny in both time and effort saved.

Plus, TB has other cool features; dalvik cache cleaner (no need to reboot into recovery!), market link doctor (used many times, to fix programs that are installed, but the market don't see them anymore), and the many batch run ops, like mass move to SD card, restore only missing apps, etc. And, when rooted, you now CAN remove any bloatware at ease! Even Sprint apps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
Oh none of that is lost. Pics remain untouched as does the whole SD card. Contacts are backed up to Google, etc. Texts and call log is the only thing lost, and you can find backup solutions for that on the market.
