[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0soPolar:
I installed a few of my favorite sense 2.1 skin .apk's from the Desire forum on my GingerSense ReMix Rom this morning. I knew it might cause an issue because they aren't officially set up for our phones/framework, but I thought that I could easily restore my Rom using the Nandroid backup I made beforehand.

I have attempted several times to restore the backup, but I am stuck in bootloop land. I wouldn't want anyone else to stumble across this problem by accident, so here is my warning: I don't recommend messing with it, might brick your phone. Here's hoping a complete wipe and reinstall will resolve my issues.

Here is my request: Can one of our pro themers/devs get us set up with some additional 2.1 skins? Even though the HTC hub is working, I would love some additional options.

Secondly: If someone can think of why a nandroid restore would send my phone into bootloop land, could you let me know what the problem is? Just curious. If I can get one of my older backups to work, I'll probably chill out with them for the time being as I garner the motivation to reattempt a GingerSense Rom.

Hi there XDA

This morning I created a new Google Account as I did a 'Factory Data Reset' and I didn't want application to be restored. After setting up and signing in to my Google Account on my device I went into Latitude. I noticed that my Location Reporting was set to hidden. No matter what I do its not possible to get my Latitude to share my position. I click 'Automatically Update My Position' it says saving then goes back to Latitude and shows that my Location is STILL hidden and won't update. I have a few friends in Latitude so I know that's not the problem, I just don't know where to go from here and I hope you at XDA can help, many thanks.

Hi all,

I've been lurking on these boards for sometime, taking in lots and lots of info. I have to say first of all that this place is great. Thanks to all the devs and hard working individuals who make our devices unique (esp. the HD2)

To get to the point, I have a TMOUS HD2 and had xbmod's WP7 and android on sd dual booting. all was running smooth (after A LOT of mistakes) and I vowed never to touch it again...well that didn't happen because I wanted to upgrade to xbmod's NoDo update. I read another thread on here that said you can backup partitions from the SD card to another hard drive, then copy them back to restore everything, but that did not work for me at all.

So the question is, is there a way to update between similar builds (in my case, xbmod 1.04 to 1.10) without losing data/apps/etc. I know that since it's on NAND it'll be tougher than SD Android but I figured I would ask. While we're on the subject...is anyone trying to develop running WP7 on SD? That'd be sweet. Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] pharmeceutikle:
I would love to just update my rom too but I guess that is not possible for our HD2 as of yet or else everybody would be doing it. As from what I understand is that all your apps that you have downloaded from the market gets repopulated. Apps that were sideloaded are lost, but I believe if you search you can find that one person who made an app to automatically re-install all your apps once flashed to a new rom. As far as settings and other stuff you would have to redo them.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
there is a way of backing up the data for the appps but not the apps them selves, if you wait for a week there should be a backup utility that may work

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
aye its working fine, its in beta just now, i dont think him made a public release yet

it backs up all the DATA from each app, it doesnt however backup the apps them selves, so you would do the following

run the backup

flash your device

install all the apps you want

restore the backup

it does not backup SMS

i made a thread about doing this manually which works as well, but the app makes it a lot easier.

Hey guys,

I'm sure this has been answered but I just cant seem to find it. I currently have CM 7-05192011 and would like to try apex 6.4.2 or cognition 4.4.9 and so I backed everything up and flashed the rom with clockwork. It said the wipe was successful and said the installation was successful for apex and for cognition it said my phone may restart which it did. But after the restart it just loads up CM 7 again. I've been trying to flash it all day but it just isn't working. Anyone know how to fix it?
[Captivate General] studacris:
Cm7 uses unique partitioning tables, you will need to odin to stock before going to a different rom. After that going from rom to rom should be just a simple wipe and flash, unless you are going to a gingerbread rom then you would need new boot loaders.
[Captivate General] majorsquirrel:

hey, isn't the lesson learnt for you is that

1. you did not need to unlock your bootloader to get your phone root access

2. if you read or researched more before you knew point 1 above, you would have root access, then didnt have to do that rename trick and

3. you could have downgraded to 2.3.2 then root it, then update to 2.3.3 OTA like many have done so - all without unlocking the bootloader.

SE took down your SN of phone bcos they checked that your bootloader was unlocked.

But honestly, no one can blame you fully bcos SE should have given warning to users that OTA update will brick a phone with an unlocked bootloader like yours...

Hi fig_jam_uk, did your Arc come back with the latest firmware or is it running the old one that you had before the OTA disaster? My Arc has been with SBE since Monday. I called them today and they quoted me £30 for the repair. I paid it over the phone and they told me to expect it by the end of next week. Perhaps they charged me because I am not the first owner, the phone having been bought by some guy from Gum Mobile on ebay. I'm desperate to have it back so I didn't mind paying.

Does replacing the motherboard cost less for SE than reflashing the phone with the same method that is used by the new fix from xda developers?

Or maybe SE does not have enough engineers who are qualified to do the software fixes, but SE has enough engineers who can replace the motherboard. :D

I'm myself thinking to buy SE Neo on a 2 year contract (that's all I can afford, we have pretty low salaries in Latvia), but anyway Arc is an overkill for me - it seems too big after my old N79.

So I'm curious: does OTA procedure brick only bootloader-unlocked phones or also the phones which are only rooted with the bootloader intact?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deoxlar:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midix:
What makes me worried about this motherboard replacing thing is the following.

Someone in SE management will find out, that there are so much cases where motherboard was replaced under warranty. So investigating further they'll come to the cause: unlocked bootloader. Then they'll calculate how much would it cost to invent a reliable procedure for fixing this issue without replacing motherboards, and how much would it cost to deliver this porcedure to all the engineers in SE services all over the world. Obviously this will cost MUCH. And it already may have done some good expenses for SE.

So they'll say: "Well, we tried to be more open towards developers and gave them an option to unlock the bootloader, but for now this has given only losses to us. So we won't do it any more, and the next phones will not have an official option to unlock the bootloader".

I guess, such a conclusion would be very sad for xda developers and advanced SE phone users :( but I'm afraid that this might happen...
