Have a quick question about the nvflash procedure as I don't want to do anything incorrectly.

I want to perform the nvflash procedure on my Asus TF that is outlined in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123429

I watched the youtube video here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMHXeYMgPy4&feature=player_embedded#at=257

I noticed that the prime rom v1.4 zip file that he unpacks contains 3 image files (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img). However, the US prime v1.4 rom that I downloaded from the thread below contains the following:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1052380

META-INF (Folder)

system (Folder)

boot_blob (File)

Will this affect the flash in any way? Anyone know why his zip file contains 3 image files vs the 2 folders and 1 file referenced above?

TIA!

If you watched the video then the download link for Prime is: http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/roach2010/flash_roms/prime_v1.4.tar.bz2 not the .zip

Sprint ordered me a replacement Hero. On my current old hero, I have everything setup just the way I like it. Can I root my new Hero, then insert my old SD card and restore the backup from the old hero to the new hero? Any adverse effects to this? The phone number will be the same but obviously the serial numbers will be different. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Imo just load the same recovery and give it a shot. Worse case you will just have to start fresh. I think you might be good. But I'm not 100% sure.

Just don't forget to make a nand of your stock rom. Hope this helps.

I didn't think about that, I can always nandroid a copy of OEM prior to restoring a backup from another phone. Sounds good I will give that a shot and report back in a few days to let you know how it went. Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
ive transferred my back ups from my computer to my sd card and it worked fine as long as your using the same recovery u should be good. i always keep my back ups backed up on my pc lol.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Nandroid restore (in recovery) is device specific. Not heroc specific either, like, it's THAT device. Now what you could do, and this would be genius. Root and S off your new hero. Open up your nandroid and put the images into a HERCIMG.zip. The images you would want would be boot.img, system.img, data.img (rename to userdata.img), cache.img, and .android_secure.img. Thats all of them, leave out recovery etc. Obviously make a nandroid first of your newly rooted and recovered stock just in case. You would need to also boot into recovery and do other tweaks like fr if you use it, and maybe fix permissions just in case. I am kinda excited to see if this would work.

I know this sounds confusing but I'd love to help, also it would be WAY faster than starting over.

Please please try this and report back. Not only would it work, but to put this out in public forum would pwn.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texas83:
Ok I'll give this a shot. Just to clarify:

1. I need to select all 5 images: boot.img, system.img, data.img, cache.img, and .android_secure.img and put all 5 images into one folder. Then zip the folder and name it HERCIMG.zip and use bootloader to install it, right? Or do they each have to be done in their own HERCIMG zip and done individually?

2. I need to rename current data.img to userdata.img - why? Just curious.

3. Easiest way to root again? It's been a long time since I rooted this phone. I have an apk called heroroot.apk, still good?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
1. No folder, just the 5 images AND a file android-info.txt, zipped together.

2. Thats the way the bootloader reads the data image, recovery reads it different.

3. I've never unrooted. I hear good things about z4 and one click (linked in my thread).

Keep asking if you need, this should be fun. Also if you can't find android-info.txt I can link you one in my db. nvm, here it is http://db.tt/J5IHy5h

Edit: after you root and get a recovery, make sure you nand backup first. I used regaws s off, which is forever btw. You could also s off with darchs, but then I think you'd need to fastboot the images one by one. Or maybe it can hboot flash too?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texas83:
1. Rooted using one click app in XDA forum

2. Nandroid back up

3. S-Off'ed using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=759955

4. Used old Hero's backup images to make new HERCIMG.zip. Placed on root

5. Rebooted to HBOOT. Recognized the HERCIMG.zip and attempted to load. This is where it gets stuck. Does not prompt me to click action button to install, just reverts back to the HBOOT menu screen to select fastboot, recovery, etc. I packaged the HERCIMG just like stated above... What gives?!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Try them individually ? In order. Boot system data cache android secure. You used the .txt? Wiped first? So you have clockwork too?

Edit: any other member feels comfortable/knowledgeable enough to speak up, please do.

YOU CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT!

I have Two Different Sprint Hero phones and I'm Constantly Restoring one phones Backup to the Next! It'll Definitely Work... The Only thing is, is that Only One of my phones is actually Activated through Sprint! Meaning that although the Backup Does Restore from phone to phone, I'm Not 100% Sure about making phone calls? But I Don't see why it Wouldn't?

Good-Luck!

Try just flashing the same recovery and radio you were using when you made the backup. If you were s-off then load the same method you used when you made the backup. Place the nand you made with your previous phone into your nandroid folder then boot into recovery via power + home, do a full wipe and see how it goes. If you were using firerats then I'd recommend setting it up first before you restore it if not the just give it a shot.

I spent 2 hours that day trying to get it to work by making sure I had the proper files in the HERCIMG.zip. It still never recognized it =(

Restoring another nandroid backup from my old hero DID work though. Everything transferred over fine and works properly. I am more than happy to try the HERCIMG path again, but I can't get it to recognize/load the zip!!

Ive searched around and this seems to be a common issue, I tried the factory reset even the htc battery conditioning where you charge fully turn off then another hour back on for 2min off again and charge for another hour with no positive results, I read online some ppl are getting -1/-2 mah an hour I have never seen single digit in my phone.

I included screenshots of my battery drain even adjusted the app to read 1500mah, anything else i missed in settings? Also went into phone information in the Tests menu set it to auto instead of GSM, also with SetCPU I tried underclocking with little change to mah usage, running out of ideas...

Currently its rooted with GingerBreak, and CM7 with #48 nightly installed, any help would definitely be appreciated.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
How many hours is your phone lasting on a single charge?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] risho:
Lately between 5-7hrs one had about 8 and half hours a handful of times
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
it's true that if you constantly use the phone nonstop like watching youtube, browsing, playing games, etc. the battery won't last longer than 4 hours without getting an extended battery, heck just using moderateley the battery will be about 50% by the end of an 8 hour workshift, but what I found that will extend the battery life with moderate use are these...

1. Turn of wifi, bluetooth, gps, sync. (contrary to what ppl say on this forum I find that wifi eats way more battery than being on 4G)

2 Disable background data. (The only thing I actually need background data checked is to use the android market or maps when I need to, with it off it's a huge battery saver)

3 In settings choose to use only 2G (This will increase battery life 4x and Tmobile 2G is pretty fast, just like 3G)

4 Download Opera Mini (Since you'll be using 2G to save battery you'll want to surf the web with a browser that is super fast using slow connections, and Opera mini is second to none. You can always turn on 4G when you want to have fast video streaming but then you eat alot of battery again.)

5. Install Auto Airplane Mode (you can turn auto airplane mode on when you're not gonna be expecting calls such as at work or when you don't want to be disturbed, hell, if you just want to save as much battery as possible. Since Auto airplane mode disables the radio and data completey which is the number 1 cause of battery bleed with it on from a full charge unplugged you'll still have a 100% when you wake up your phone after a day.)

6 Install juice defender (free is fine)

7 Don't use Lookout Antivirus (I've found Lookout drains the battery quick, if you want an antivirus that doesn't eat the battery try AVG. I prefer AVG because I notice it does not drain my battery like Lookout.)

This has made my phone last more than a day on stock battery with moderate to light use. If I think of more tweaks I'll add later
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donatello88:
This is ridiculous. If you have to turn off all those features, then don't even bother getting a smartphone.

My tips are:

1- Set brightness to auto.

2- Avoid Skype and other apps that usually appear as On going on the status bar.

3- Get rid of any task killer. They actually make the battery life worse. Don't worry about tasks running in the background, the OS takes care of them. If you wanna quit an app, try to look for a quit button by pressing the settings button when the app is on the foreground. Otherwise, just press the back button below the screen until you get back to the home screen (for some reason this seems more efficient than just pressing the home button.)

4- If you don't use IMs, get juice defender and set it to disable data when screen is off. It will turn data automatically on once you turn the screen on by pressing the lock button on the top of your device. Note that this is different compared to auto airplane mode, with Juice Defender you can still receive phone calls and text messages when the screen is off.

Last but not least, consider purchasing an extra battery and/or car charger.

Mine usually lasts for about 12 hours with moderate to high use. Almost all smartphones have short battery life if used heavily.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Yea that's awful. Do you by chance have your brightness set extremely high? And how is the cell coverage where you usually use your phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I think all of the advice above is valid and will save your battery. The question is to what extreme do you want to go? I tend to agree with donatello88 that there comes a point when you get so paranoid about battery life that you may as well not have a smartphone because you've turned off most of its features.

Get rid of any task killers, battery monitors, etc. They are simply churning thru clock cycles and that uses more battery. Set email, Facebook, etc to check for updates less frequently. Either use auto brightness or manually set your brightness to about 25-30%. That should b bright enough for everyday use unless your in bright sunlight a lot. Use juice defender if you like. And be wary of antivirus apps. I've heard some can suck ur battery dry.

If you do those simple things and are still getting only 5-6 hours then I'd be taking it back to T-Mobile ... unless of course you're on your phone without ceasing. In that case, what can you expect? Lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Ok with the tips I just mentioned above, I got a chance to put it to real world test. I caught the bus to my son's grad ceremony and reached there at 4pm ceremony didn't start till 6pm so those 2 hours just surfing the web reading articles and forums I was down to 90% battery. Didn't know how long the ceremony was gonna be so called my sister on video chat using tango and spoke to her for about 20 minutes. Did some more browsing using opera mini set to only use 2g for another 2 hours, my don came out, I took some pics and video of him turned on 4g to video chat again with my duster for about 5 minutes, and after 4 non stop hours of consecutive use with screen on, I'm now at 71% battery life. I'm at the bus stop now on my 12 mile commute home and I'm confident the battery will give me more entertainment until I get home. Awesome! You don't have to believe me, just try out my tweaks and you'll be amazed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] risho:
Everyone thanks for all of the help and tips, today was the first day I saw 10hrs+(included screenshots), I had my screen on auto and after some reading saw that with CM7 it doesnt work well so I have changed it down to 20-40% depending on where I am, turned off background/auto sync only turn it on when I need it and uninstalled the app killer I was using also changed a few of the SetCPU profiles.

Im not really a heavy user just wondering if having 3email accounts set to update every hour would be a battery drain too? I mostly text/email during the day and talk about 1-2hrs depending how busy I am at work.

Again I thank everyone for pointing me in the right direction...unfortunately at home I have 1bar to none for service so I do depend on Wifi calling which im sure drains more juice, also at work since it in a high rise not too much cell signal so wifi on most of the day...

[Ultimate GUIDE] Increase your battery life on Android

Hello risho,

I was having the same kind of battery life... After 3 months of research, I collected all valuable tips.

"Valuable tips" means:

tips that do not need constant involvement from your side (you don't need to go switch on/off things, etc..) and also that leave you with a very functional phone (you have location when you need it, you have e-mails flowing regularly enough, etc...)!

With these tips, I am now lasting from 6am to 11pm and at 11pm, remaining battery is 10% at least!

Go and check my thread: [Ultimate GUIDE] Increase your battery life on Android!

Enjoy!

I know this isn't where i should post this but my Post Count is to low to post in the development forum. I installed RC 0.4 of CM 7 with a full wipe from .3 and up until last night everything was working fine (except the 4g/3g hand-off). Last night out of the blue it started random rebooting/boot looping. I plugged it in and went to bed. When i woke up it was on and some of my launcher settings were reset but other than that it was ok. Then today I have been experiencing more random reboots. Anyone else with this issue?
[Thunderbolt General] Vassago187:
Can't post in the dev area yet either :(

I've had CM7 RC4 on for 3 days now and I haven't experienced any reboots yet but I'm not in a 4G area. Did you mess with the overclocking settings? Try to drop it down to 1GHz and see if that helps. Are you on the stock radio? I have mine on stock radio and it seems to work well.
[Thunderbolt General] JBass:
I didn't overclock it any. I did use setcpu to check to make sure that that it was limiting itself to 1Gh thought, but i didn't touch anything else. My radio is the stock MR1 radio 1.16.00.0402w_1. I switched kernels to KangBang's most recent version for now, the random reboots became to much to handle.
[Thunderbolt General] chrootz:
You need go back older radio 223r, I have no problem with CM7 RC0.4 and none reboots. The CM7 author stated says use 223r radio.
[Thunderbolt General] JBass:
I read in the forum that you need to be 402w or before.

I read in the Honeycomb thread that I shouldn't be using Odin with my Sprint tab.
