[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S0nico:
Hello,

I have a Wildfire brand (Fastweb) and before performing the procedure I would like to back up the root of the original ROM.

you can back up the ROM without root permissions?

Thanks!

-----------------

Ciao,

ho un Wildfire brand (Fastweb) e prima di eseguire la procedura di root vorrei effettuare il backup della ROM originale.

è possibile eseguire il backup della ROM senza permessi di root ?

Grazie!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabryel48:
Hi. what you want to do is impossible beacuse the stock rom you have right now does not allow you to install a custom recovery, which is needed for making nandroid backups.

If you just root your device without making S-OFF with alpharevX don't worry you won't lose any data, and you can do a backup right after rooting by booting in the clockworkmod recovery. in addition, if you want to send back your Wildfire to Fastweb for RMA you can flash the phone with a RUU, an exe that will restore the original rom and recovery and delete root ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S0nico:
Thanks for the reply,

but having the HBOOT 1.01.0002 I am forced to run off with the S-OFF downgrade, so if I perform the procedure after receiving the S-OFF

the backup time I will not have the ROM Fastweb

is that correct?

thanks

-------------------------

Grazie per la risposta,

ma avendo l'HBOOT 1.01.0002 sono costretto ad eseguire l'S-OFF con il downgrade della ROM, quindi se effettuo la procedura dopo aver ottenuto l'S-OFF

al momento del backup non avrò più la ROM Fastweb

è corretto?

Grazie

you will still have the Fastweb ROM but not the original bootloader.

Just tried to exchange my phone for the second time and they refused to do it even though I'm in my 30 days.

I'm gonna try a different Sprint Store soon but the manager, after a huge arguement, offered to order a refurbished phone.

Being so new, is there any chance I'd get an actually refurbished phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
if u went thru the insurance comp......and being that the phone is so new, that u should get a new one from asurion......also u can only exchange or return ONCE within 30 days.....thats there policy, but who's to say they would do it twice....or more...
[HTC EVO 3D] fester225:
That's not true, I'm on my fourth, and this one is messed up too, I called them and they are going to exchange it. call customer support, create an e-ticket and take to a sprint repair center
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
They don't even have refurbished phone yet my brothers 3d took a crappy and he went in tried to order him one and it says backorder meaning no refurbs yet

[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
I wouldn't want a refurbished for sure during my 30 days........
[HTC EVO 3D] ColdH33t:
Hmm I think I'll do that.

But yeah, every CS rep told me that since I'm in my 30 days I can get another exchange. I exchanged prior for some other defect and now these damned dead pixels.
[HTC EVO 3D] red man:
Make a scene .. I would love to see someone refuse to change my phone .. even if it was Sprint I would demand a brand new phone not refurbished. Go back and keep making a scene and especially if there are other people there and last but not least report them to the corporate and bbb just make some **** up like they screamed ...
[HTC EVO 3D] ColdH33t:
We'll I've already argued with two managers and a technician. They were trying to push the idea that it wasn't a dead pixel but I proved it to them and then they continued to refuse me a new phone.

Apparently I have to pay a restocking fee now? I called up Customer Service and they said that I have to pay a restocking fee. Is this true? It's just $35 but still. I don't want to pay and then get a bad one again.
[HTC EVO 3D] DozeBeatS:
No dude theres no restocking fee or anything like that. Call them again, if they give you a problem, threaten to cancel your service. See how fast they run to help you out.
[HTC EVO 3D] ColdH33t:
Yeah I think I am going to just go and cancel my service.

If I cancel, I can just open again right?
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Not without them having to "reopen" it for you....

I think you may have to wait "60 days"

And do another credit check..

[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
THAT'S messed up man! I hate people like that. Instead of giving you a hard time just exchange it! Call retentions right in front of them.
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
talk to retentions, tell them your story and that you're thinking of dropping Sprint, they'll treat you right
[HTC EVO 3D] ColdH33t:
I spoke to retention and they told me to just go back to the store.

I'm gonna try a different store tomorrow though.
[HTC EVO 3D] BlueGoldAce:
You should get retention or someone high up to call the store.

Manager is just trying to maximize profit....so have Sprint straighten him out.
[HTC EVO 3D] ColdH33t:
Yeah they called the store and the store manager was all like, Oh no sufficient reason for exchange. It's the most bull thing ever.
[HTC EVO 3D] fester225:

[HTC EVO 3D] fester225:

man 5 phones, it gets to a point where some of you will find something wrong with a phone no matter what. The evo's and htc have a history or light leakage, dont know about screen misalignment, I really dont know how the hell that even looks like. I could think my screen is misaligned but damn it makes me think its in my head, when I use the phone it seems pretty damn straight to me. I am just confused why not just get another phone. Get the Nexus or wait for something else.

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Did you return the other three for the same issue (crooked screen)... or did you return the other three for other reasons and NOW you got one with a crooked screen? Just wundrin. I'm debating whether or not to exchange mine over the crooked screen issue but I'm actually learning to stop staring at the alignment because mine is perfect in every other way: no dead pixels, has the best signal of the four 3vo's my friend and I own. So I'm kinda scared to return one that has a half a millimeter alignment skew because I might end up with worse: one with 4 dead pixels and a weak radio.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Strong radio? Keep it. If it's simply a matter of the screen being crooked (and not indented on one side and overlapping on the other) just keep it. After going through a handful of them looking for one with a strong radio I jumped to the NS4G...which had a mildly better signal than the best evo3d radio I could find--and that's after going through a couple NS4G's...I'm hopeful about this radio update we're due any minute now...and 3450 quadrant scores (and the performance to go with that) is phenomenal on MIUI and CM7...but...if I am going to have a weak radio no matter what I might as well go back to dual core--it will be unlocked in a month or two for certain and at the very least the standard AOSP roms will be ported quickly (CM7, MIUI)....and let me tell you after coming from an EVO that screamed--MIUI was not perfectly smooth there...no matter what I tried. But on this NS4G it is heavenly smooth...I'd imagine on a E3D it will be even better...

...I've contacted Sprint customer service and apparently all their new phones have radio problems and data speed problems. The radio problems they are saying their technicians are checking towers...*I* think they are trying to reduce radiation output ever since 'that best/worse of: radiation' list was published a few months ago. But apparently the low data speed thing has something to do with phone swapping in their computer which is why a data reset works and/or reprovisioning the line works.

Some people are probably swapping for low data speeds and they get reprovisioned on a different phone and it works faster but not because something was wrong with the previous phone...so...I say stay with strong signal over anything....I'd even eat a dead pixel or two (as long as it wasn't in the center-most area) for a good strong radio.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stonent:
I've found that taking a video that's been recorded with my phone and uploading it to youtube results in a garbled mess of audio but the video is fine.

It seems to do this from a direct upload or saving the 3gp and uploading it to youtube from the PC.

The audio sounds like a voice scrambler on a walkie talkie (if you've ever heard/used one)

I've uploaded videos in the past when I had KaosFroyo, but GSB didn't seem to work.

My wife, kids and I just become first time Android owners. I have the E3D while the wife and kids all have the E4G. I followed to the letter the instructions given HERE> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1158400 and was able to temp root my E3D first try without any issues. I have read and read til I thought I was going to go blind and have not found what I was looking for OR simply missed it all together.

My families E4G's all have Gingerbread 2.3.3. Will the temp root method posted HERE> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1158400 work for them as well?

I have been all over the E4G section and I keep coming across custom roms but have not seen anything for rooting the E4G with G-bread 2.3.3. Am I missing something, simply not seeing it etc etc? Any/all help or push in the right direction getting the E4G's done too would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there.. and welcome to Android..

I believe the Temp Root only works for the E3D..

And rooting the EVOs depend on which HBOOT and software it has.

I believe there's not a root for Gingerbread 2.3.3 yet.

[Droid Incredible General] davwman:
miui is maybe resembles .000001% of ios.
[Droid Incredible General] TheWhiteBandito:
I'd have to say MIUI resembles iOS in a few ways, but Apple would probably blow the accusations out of proportion.

1. The menu styles. MIUI gives it a very iOS feel to it, there's no way around it, it looks like iOS

2. The screen during a call is very similar to iOS.

3. The launcher does not have a dedicated app drawer. Apple could consider this infringement because it is all icons/folder based rather than the typical Android app-drawer setup.

I would say that those are the big ones, but who knows what Apple will do? They love lawsuits it seems...
[Droid Incredible General] davwman:
App drawer launcher aside miui allows direct customization of the home screen, ie.widgets, shortcuts, etc., ios does not. Menu styles are close but not really if thought about long enough. They have no arguement and would be a waste of money. Remember miui is still android and totally set apart from ios in every aspect.
[Droid Incredible General] TheWhiteBandito:
I was simply playing devil's advocate, as I use MIUI and think it IS different than iOS. However, I do see some things in MIUI that resemble iOS, I don't see it as a complete rip off. MIUI has more taste in many aspects anyway.

China does not recognize U.S. or for that matter anyones elses patents. But it is illegal to import knock offs to the U.S. but not illegal to use them inside China itself. So Apple would have to sue the U.S. (or other country that recognizes U.S. patents) based representatives of MIUI if there are any.

You assume Apple has no China patents. I could look it up but I don't care. Even if they did I doubt China patents mean anything inside China. Your connections to the ruling party is all that matters.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vfox116:
Noob here,

My viewsonic Gtablet has been softbricked and I've been attempting to get it into a functional status for the last couple of weeks.

I have tried -

1) installing the factory reset roms onto the microsd card and booting gtablet in recover mode. This lead to an indefinite "booting recovery kernal image".

2) installing clockword mod in hopes of fixing the bootloader. This led to the same result

I'm now attempting to nvflash the device. I have all folders installed and the entire setup is ready to commence HOWEVER; when I boot the gtablet in APX mode and connect it to my windows pc, there is no prompt indicating a new device. After checking device manager I cannot find the device there either. I have the drivers in a folder and ready to install, but I don't know how when I'm given no indication that the computer even recognizes the gtablets existence.

Any ideas?
