[HTC Inspire 4G] tefuzz:
I rooted but decided to go back to factory since i really only rooted to get rid of the bloatware. I used bubby's one click to root an then used his s-on tool and the RUU method to return to factory settings. All went smoothly, and bloatware is still gone. Now my phone finally received the update notification so I switched to WiFi and downloaded it. Started installing it and when the phone reboots at the beginning of the install it just goes to a black screen. I let it sit for almost an hour and nothing changed so I did a battery pull and rebooted. Phone works perfectly but I cannot get it to complete the update. Always ends in a black screen and frozen phone. Any ideas?
[HTC Inspire 4G] UberEgo:
I could be wrong but if you went completely back to stock I would think that you would still have all the blaotware and that leads me to think you are still rooted, which is fine, but then you wouldn't need the update from your provider. I think that is causing the issue since the rom you installed when you rooted the phone already made the necessary updates to your phone.

I would skip the update you are trying to install and wait for another rom to come out that strikes your fancy!

If you want a stock rooted ROM with all the current updates...

[HTC Inspire 4G] tefuzz:
I used the instructions in the bubby one click method to return to stock. I just installed a terminal emulator and when I open it up I have $ and not #. So I shouldn't be root correct?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
You have to type:

su

at the # prompt to test if you're rooted.

Terminal emulator always starts at the # prompt when first opened.

If you're getting an update fail and the bloatware is not present, then you aren't completely bone stock.

[HTC Inspire 4G] tefuzz:
Ok, i just opened up terminal emulator and put in SU; it popped up asking to allow superuser to have superuser permissions...So i guess I'm still root? I guess I'll just flash to the ROM in the other thread with the HSUPA update already?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Yup, you're still rooted.

Just flash the updated rom, as you mentioned. It'll save you a lot of trouble, as you'll end up in the same place anyway... with the update and no bloatware.

[HTC Inspire 4G] tefuzz:
Ok one more question...superuser is the only app left from before. I uninstalled the others since I was under the impression that I was stock again. Do I need to re-run the one click from the beginning so that I have everything there before I can flash the ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Check if your still s-off. If you are you can go ahead and flash the updated rom

Can anybody tell me how to remove a custom rom and a custom kernel and go back to fabric on my Samsung Galaxy S i9000? I know I have seen the instructions here at XDA but now when I need them I can't find them. The reason I want to go back to fabric is because I'm going to sell the phone.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mswlogo:
My understanding is that GingerBread (2.3.x) will handle automatically restoring your apps after a wipe or you switch between ROM (each with clean wipe).

It asks about "backing up google".

I'm currently using MikG 0.5 and was using MikG RC1 for quite a while (since it was released 3 weeks?).

I was hoping starting with a fresh wipe it would restore my apps but it does not.

I think on one of these gingerbread ROMs (I've tried a bunch) I think it did partially restore apps. Not just paid ones. I forget if it was complete or not.

Is there something explicit you have to do to make this all work?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -viperboy-:
That still seems to be hit or miss. Is there any reason you're not using Titanium Backup?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mswlogo:
Because I don't like it. Recently I wanted to use it for a piece of software for TTS I bought and was no longer available in the Market. And it completely fell on it's face. All I did was copy the APK from system from a restored back up and it installed fine.

I also don't want to restore potentially incompatible apps. I assume Google will trigger Market to install latest right from the start.

I also don't have to explicitly choose what to back up and what to restore.

I've seen the Google Stuff work, and it works well when it works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -viperboy-:
That's the problem. Honestly, TB can be complicated to use but what you're describing sounds like user error. You also don't have to explicitly choose what to backup and restore in TB either. Just go into Menu > Batch > Backup all user apps to backup and then Restore all user apps when you want to restore. Then just use the Market to update any out of date apps. It takes forever for the Market to get your apps back anyway, I always use TB and so does almost anyone else on a custom ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmdunn:
Call me a purist, but I don't like Titanium Backup either. Granted, I don't use a ton of market apps, only about a dozen or so ... just not a problem. To get back to the original question, Google has always restored my apps on CM6/7, up to and including the 3-7 gapps. The newer gapps used with Android 2.3.4 are where everything began to break down.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mswlogo:
I don't want to back it up like that. I think it causes problems.

I backed up this app explicitly, went to restore explicitly and it didn't work. Pretty Simple.

I'd like the google feature. I want something that coordinates with the mark app and installs the instead if the backup is old.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nprussell:
Hi all,

Today I have had a bit of a nightmare with changing the splash screen(s). I'm trying to create a totally generic version of this firmware, which removes all of the T-Mobile branding; including those annoying 'Exclusive to T-Mobile' splash screens. I say screens, as it seems there are two of them, one loaded immediately and the other loaded from the kernel immediately afterwards.

I understand that the first one to load (bios as such) is located in /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg. I cannot alter or edit that directory without a modified param.lfs, I am told.

I recently tried the param.lfs from the Vibrant build, and it flashed successfully, but still wouldn't allow me to write over the logo (operation not permitted). Can this image be changed directly in param.lfs? I have extracted the images from param.lfs, but cannot find a way to rebuild it. Also... replacing the param.lfs with one from a stock vibrant doesn't appear to change the splash screen. Wtf?

Also, even if I do overwrite the image, will the SBL push another one over the top? I'm getting mixed opinions on this...

The second image is located in the kernel source, I understand. I'm aware of how to compile a kernel so that isn't the issue.

Does anyone know the name of the image to locate in the source?

EDIT - think I found it in: ../drivers/video/samsung/logo_rgb24_wvga_portrait.h

My brain isn't working correctly today, and I have wasted a lot of time on this already. If someone out there knows the answer it'd save me a lot more time!

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drhonk:
Yupe..that would be the file and there's an app to build that for you. All you need is creating 480x800 24bit RGB image and save it as C header, then use that app to rebuild logo_rgb24_wvga_portrait.h for you.

I changed my kernel and rom to leaked beta versions 2.3.3 Gyngerberid. his rom and kernel still has the company's rom (Orange 2.2.1) for him (my brother) see more clearly on the screen (see differences significant enough) ... And if I'm not mistaken I also saw so before I changed the rom and the system kernel to 2.3.3.

There is a connection between the kernel version and sharp screen light rom and kernel can give?​

[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I just had a chat with a DELL rep who said we are getting Honeycomb, but he couldn't give a date. I think these guys are just low-level sales reps who have no real idea. If you've ever worked in a call center, you know the drill; it's all hearsay and rumour that you pass along as official to the customers.

I can't see DELL not upgrading, but it could take awhile (Streak 5, anyone?). With the 10" Streak being released with Honeycomb next month, I could see if they wait for their big gun to get to market before they upgrade the afterthought (though the S7 could have been awesome with HC up front).

I'm just afraid that AOSP won't drop until Ice Cream Sandwich, because Google's scared of crappy manufacturers releasing phones with HC on them. But, once all that does get released, we ought to be able to get it on our S7s. I don't know about quality, though, as we have no kernel devs on our device.

Maybe we need to purchase another S7 for someone out there who's a good kernel dev.I've found used ones as low as ~$275 (a little scratched and such, but good, working units). I posted on the CM forums about it, too.

Love the Streak 7 and love the StreakDroid ROM, but it's still a beta. I'm worried that this device will be left blowing in the wind, once all the new stuff comes out this summer.
[Dell Streak 7] cybertang:
well hopefully we get some more solid devs to get on top of these devices hardware wise it is a solid device good next gen device unfortunately the lack of support and the outdated OS is a major turn off for me personally, either way im hanging on to this device and waiting to see what happens, nothing wrong with sticking with the under dog device

[EVO 4G General] JGW310:
This is a guide for all of you noobs out there!!!!!

THIS WILL WORK WITH ANY ANDROID DEVICE THAT IS ROOTED!!!!!!!!!!!

In this guide we will be covering HOW TO CREATE A NANDROID BACKUP

You will want to create a Nandroid backup for when you are flashing a new ROM, and if something goes horribly wrong, you have your handy dandy Nandroid backup to revert to!!!

So, here we go!!! http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=lxpk6xds8s9ka56&thumb=6

1. Reboot your phone into the bootloader by turning it off, and then holding the power button and the volume down button til you get a screen that looks like this -----> see picture!! http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=ibb8xfe9841eyxu&thumb=6

2. Using the volume rocker, select "RECOVERY"

3. Your phone will now display the white "HTC EVO 4G" screen http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=6pgovio1lgbp1da&thumb=6

4. You are now in recovery!!! Some people's recovery will look a little different than mine, THAT IS OK!!!!! I am running ClockworkMod Recovery, some of you will be running AmonRA recovery... don't freak out, the options are all the same, they are just worded slightly different http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=4ml7ecb5w20hewq&thumb=6

5. Now, using the volume rockers, select "Backup and Restore"

6. Then using the volume rockers, select "Backup". Your phone will now go about the process of backing everything up on your phone. This may take up to 5 or more minutes depending on the amount of data you have. *Since this creates the Nandroid on the SD card, you will need space on your SD for the Nandroid backup!! http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=ecca0emi32mmno2&thumb=6

[URLhttp://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=gf5e46wb7tau7zg&thumb=6[/URL]

7. Once it is finished, select "Reboot System Now" and your phone will reboot!!! http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=ebtoboo8d625o24&thumb=6

YOUR PHONE WILL PROBABLY LOOK LIKE SOME VARIATION OF THIS PICTURE, DO NOT WORRY, IT IS NORMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=5nnf5x1d9lk7m8s&thumb=6

8. Congratulations!! You have succesfully created a Nandroid Backup!!!

*Youtube tutorial coming soon!!!

*Many more guides coming soon also!!!!! Send me a PM if you have an idea for a guide!!!!!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] hoostie:
I have had my first g2x for a little over a week. I really liked the phone, but the screen bleed on the first one was pretty bad. If it was just a little bit of bleed I could of dealt with it. I had flashed over to bionix, and with the black status bar the bleed was horrid. It was hard to make out the status bar sometimes because they bleed was so bad. The phone did not have any random reboots that everyone else seems to have. I wish I could of kept it. I ended up calling t mobile and they shipped a new one.

Today I received my new replacement in the mail. It was a brand new phone. I opened up the box and installed the battery and went for initial boot. The first thing that I noticed was it had a cluster of dead pixels at the top of the screen. If it was one I might be able to deal with it. Although for having a new premium phone I don't necessarily expect it to be perfect, but this was unacceptable. Well then the phone booted and went to the little android that I needed to tap enter. I tapped him, then the phone had a bunch of forced closes and rebooted. I rebooted it and same thing happened 2 more times. By this time I had had enough. I called up t mobile to get another replacement.

They guy that I was talking too asked me since this was going to be my third one why didn't I wait for the htc sensation. I told him the reason I didn't want it was because it was too big, but the main thing is because of the locked boot loader. I asked if they had an actual date for release, but he did not have one. He said he has seen leaked documents on blogs giving a date. But we have all seen the same thing. I also sold my vibrant so I don't have another phone right now. I really like the g2x and want to keep it. I also like the idea of the tegra 2. I am a big fan of nvidia, and their support has always been top notch. I hope I get a good third phone, because I really want to keep the g2x.

On a side note, I re-upped my contract to get this phone at the upgrade price. I was told today that to get new phone and not a refurb I had to extend my contract so that the 2 years started from today. Not that 2 weeks of extension was that big of deal but to me that's kind of ridiculous. It's not my fault I received faulty phones, why should I have to re up my contract. I know its only 2 weeks, but that is just a stupid policy. Or maybe it was just the guy I was talking too. I am just tired of these big company's taking advantage of the little guy for things that are not even our fault. I should not have to re-sign my contract because of faulty equipment. I was half tempted to just return the phone right there and tell them to cancel my contract. Not that 2 weeks will kill me, but for the principal of the fact. Has that happened to anyone else that had to return their faulty g2s's?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] bobthq:
I went to tmobile website and this phone has so many good reviews. I don't understand because this is also my 3rd one, and I'm about to return it too. If not for light bleeding, then it is for all the rebooting and freezing for no reason. Could it be because all of my phones are shipped from the warehouse in KY...where are the good ones come from? Any idea?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hoostie:
The manufacture date of my phone is only 5/9/2011 so its was not even made 2 weeks ago. It makes me think it cant be a warehouse thing because the phone only being manufactured 10 days ago could not of had that much time to sit on the shelf. I am actually surprised that it can make it from the factory in Korea to my doorstep in 10 days.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnyp500:
Hi,

Mine shipped from KY and its great, production date 4/26. Screen bleed is very very minimal at the top and really isnt very noticeable unless you read these threads and look for it. :) I had one reboot but that was because I got the phone stuck when trying to stream music directly from the browser and it went a bit bazerk. But other than that this is a GREAT phone. My friend and his wife got one(from radio shack) with no problems whatsoever and so I would guess there is a bad batch around or something.

Unfortunately from the sound of customers who came to tmo from other carriers tmo is better.

That sucks.

somehow i got a whole "work day" out of my G1....which was from 3am to 3pm. granted i would be in the 15% range at the end of the work day but it did last most work days all day. slower work days like mid week i would carry my car charger just incase, but on weekends when it was busy i would actually be at 30% area of remaining battery at end of same hours due to less use. the G1 was a decent slab of hardware. i sold it to my friend that just moved on to a G2 2 months ago, and said it still worked perfect. I got the G1 about 2 weeks after its retail release.
