[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
I know the WWE is more up to date, I'm just thinking an actual Orange RUU would be useful for people who need to return their phone to "out of the box" state if they need to unroot and return their phone.

About 2 weeks ago I needed an Orange UK ruu but had to take my chances with the stock WWE rom, luckily I got away with it but if there's a way we can somehow extract one then that'd be helpful for anyone in the same position.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
^ Exactly!

Hold out hope, give it a couple of days and maybe someone else will know what to do.

In the mean time, root your phone and S-OFF (I think you need to S-OFF to create a NAND backup) when you root, flash the RA-recovery 2.0.1 as that can do NAND backups whereas the CWM that comes with unrevoked doesn't.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tajio:
I would love a Orange UK RUU. I can't find any on the internet so definitely try and get it :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
Just a quick question before I do that, I thought that if I root then all I'd be able to create is a backup of a rooted rom? Which wouldn't be any good for returning to "out of box state"? Remember, I'm 100% Noob so I may be wrong!

Also, what gets backed up when I do a nand? Shall I perform a factory reset first and then do it? Don't want any of my apps, email, ebay or google account backed up and passed on to everyone who uses my backup! I'm willing to give back to the community but I ain't that generous!:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
Hopefully we can sort you out with one soon! Watch this space...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
I'm entirely unsure. I think there's a way to unroot afterwards for anyone who uses your backup, and I think, yes, it'd be best to do a factory reset before the NAND (can use titanium for your own backup, though, so you can reinstall after the NAND and be back where you were)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
Okay...

I used unrevoked to root. Performed a factory reset. Made up a fake google account so I could download rom manager, installed clockwork mod and created a Nand backup from there.

It's 448 MB in size, is that normal? Seems pretty large! In the backup folder there's something called sd-ext.img that is 130mb and another called data.img at 21mb, will that have saved information about my device or apps? Can I delete them or will that cause problems for anyone using my Nand to restore?

All I'm basically asking is, is my personal info, contacts, photos, sms, emails etc safely clear?

If all is good to go does anyone know a good place to upload and host for others to easily download it from? And do I need to upload the whole folder or is there just one specific img that people need?

Edit: Do I need to upload the whole folder or is there just one specific img file that people need?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
You're not going to believe this... It's started boot-looping again!

I performed the Nandroid backup, rebooted, it stuck on the HTC logo, I removed the battery to get the SD card out so I could extract the Nand backup, put the battery back in and now can't get any further than HTC logo before it restarts and gets stuck on HTC logo over and over again!

What have I done wrong now? I'm not having much luck with this!:confused:

Edit: Had a quick read and found this was quite common when combining unrevoked and rom manager for backups. I restored from the backup I just made and all is working again now, I hope!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
ahhh you could've gone 1 step further and posted an unrooted ROM!

you should've S-OFF'd with AlpharevX without setting up the entire phone etc. then made a nand backup of the unrooted ROM. Ahh well lol, I'm on Vodafone anway :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
Damn! If only you'd told me that a few hours earlier!

Well, it's too late now, I've already rooted. Is there a way to unroot and then create another backup?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellaclearing:
Can anyone tell me which of the files in the backup I need to upload please? Do I need to upload all of them or can I delete sd-ext.img and data.img?

Or if there's a way to unroot and create a backup of an unrooted rom then let me know how to do it please!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linkerro:
I rooted my ziio 7 a few days ago after about 1 week of chasing leads up and down and published a howto for it, but now I've got a bigger problem.

I want to port a newer version of android to it (current is 2.2) but I'm a complete noob and this thing's version seems to be customized by Chuck Norris or something.

I knew I had a problem when cat /proc/mtd said there was no such file.

A little snooping around later and cat /proc/partitions revealed this:

major minor #blocks name

250 0 65536 mmcblk_res
249 0 524288 mmcblk_OS
249 1 524128 mmcblk_OS1
248 0 32768 mmcblk_cache
248 1 32224 mmcblk_cache1
247 0 2097152 mmcblk_data
247 1 2096608 mmcblk_data1
246 0 5189632 mmcblk_internal
246 1 5189152 mmcblk_internal1

cache1 I recognized from init.rc as being the cache partition, data1 is roughly equivalent to system and internal1 is the part of the internal flash I can use as a "built in sd card".

I've looked at a few things on the interwebs and these things seem to match up with what's supposed to be in mtd, but there are a few problems.

res seems to be the recovery partition, because it's the only one I can't mount (all others are ext4). os1 looks like the kernel & bits of other things, data1 is the most of the operating system and the rest are obvious.

Can anyone help me with understanding how I can get more out of this? I can't exactly use most of the tools I see listed as they are perl files and stuff that doesn't get along well with windows.

When ever I get get an email or sms the softkeys light up as the notification goes off, and stay on until I open Gmail or the sms app. Is there a setting that I'm completely over looking or is this a bug?
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
That's what's called a back light notification or BLN. You can adjust which apps use this in profiles under settings. There's not a way to turn it off. Lots of people are worried it uses alot of battery. Just to throw this out. If left on all day it would use less than 1% of you.battery.

Much love to all the Dev's working to advance the Mesmerize and Fascinate. :) You guys Rock! :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] Atomly:
Ah OK. Well knowing that it uses so little battery then I'm not worried about it. Good to know that it's working as designed versus just a random bug. I'm still very new to CM7 so still trying to learn the ins and outs of it.

Thanks for the quick response.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
No prob. Yeah. Its alot different than the froyo roms were all used to. :)

help with baterry not charging

you have to use the wall charger, charging with your computer is not enought power when the batterry is dead. the same thing happened to me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnicotra:
Most computers should be able to charge the phone, unlike the iPad or those new Android Tablets. I actually have the same problem, for a while ago I can't charge my phone using the USB outlet of my PC or Mac (notebook or desktop). I recently upgraded to GB using one Kenneth's beta 4.5 ROM. Dunno if that has actually anything to do. I could charge before using a regular USB cable.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
If you have a USB 3.0 port it will charge, but not on USB 2.0.

Best to just use the wall charger.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Isakk1:
Hi!

Im thinking about install a new rom to my phone but cant decide which...

I want a rom with so small bugs thats possible but still some features that makes the phone better :)

I installed this Clockwork Recovery for a pretty long time ago and dont remember what it do:p

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044585

So I wounder if I need it or just can remove it?

And if I gonna install a new rom, which Recovery is the best at the moment?

Would be very thankfull if somone with more experience could tell me their opinion! :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ferahfeza:
My prefer is void. (2.2.2; #eridanus) by Noejn.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RoyaL:
Install Perfect Recovery 4.0.0.5 and try yourself all ROMS. ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Isakk1:
Okey will try that rom and recovery :)

But if im not happy with the rom can I then change back to the orginal?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] chaserse:
IF you take a backup with recovery yes,!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
At the moment definitely VOID 2.2.2 latest
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Barleyman:
What makes void so great? Dec got rid if his phone so no more updates. Might as well use something that'll get new fw updates..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
I believe that Oxygen is the best Rom at the moment. Miui is very good as well, but with Oxygen battery life is amazing (more than 40h, with wifi and BT on all the time) and it's got most things sorted.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] magictwins:
actually Oxygen drains more battery than geno's CM7 beta....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
It maybe so, but at least camera is fully functional.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Alexcxvtr:
So, which ROM would you suggest overall? Fully fuctional, acceptable battery life, speed etc. I'm with B137 v8.2 and I feel I need something new.;)

FYI, I usually clock the cpu to 1Ghz or 1,2Ghz.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iakoboss7:
then go for the v8.4 & his new kernel

http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-3177723-1-1.html

http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-3423090-1-1.html

this is the most stable rom atm with good performance. other roms are faster but some things dont work or they are not stable.

your choice.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Alexcxvtr:
Thank you re iakoboss7!!! :D:D:D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
how do you know that is. good Rom. did you tested it already? so is a room like void with Android 2. 2. 2
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iakoboss7:
i use this rom for almost 2 months now. from v7 i think.

i never ever had a fc reboot etc (except 1 time i had the cpu at 1.5ghz).

everything is working fine, the only small problem lies in the modified franco kernel genokolar used (he modified it to be even more stable),

it has some problems on charging (franco's kernel had them also as i have read, i dont know if its fixed on his newest version cause the modified one is 1 version older than 20 july one).

(u can avoid that problem the kernel creates by not flashing the kernel and keeping v8.4 kernel).

here is a link that i have uploaded both 3

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V99GYVBN

dont forget to install superuser from market or root will not work without it (as everywhere else also).

for the ones that want performance its not the best out there but its still a good one.

i get 24xx at quadrant at 1.3ghz when this void user gets the same at 1.5ghz but i get lower on antutu (3018, made a 2nd run and scored 3167 if it matters) propably cause of the 0.2gz less cpu speed http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15978575&postcount=326

but this oxygen user gets allot more than me on 1.3ghz http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16303582&postcount=391

(i have also 1.2gb worth of apps installed if this matters)

the good thing this rom has is stability and everything works, from what i read most other roms have things not working, bugs and not that great stability, miui is a VERY good rom also (has its small bugs) cause its based on 2.3.5 but i dont like miui style ^^ (personal opinion).

oh i forgot to mention that its totally stock (except 1 small app with reboot,shutdown etc options).

i made some changes please re-read my answer
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ed5385:
bro, thanks for ur info.

btw, my ideos is u8800H, is it compatible also? and i had flash with muui1.7.3 (android2.3), is it can flash back? ( use recovery tools to flash?)

thanks for help.:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iakoboss7:
yeah its for the u8800H also as i can remember. you can keep a backup and if you dont like you can go back anytime...

oh and flash works just fine, i dont see any reason not working.

there is a new miui version that came out before an hour, try it first cause you maybe like it better (since i see you already have miui).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] khunjj:
Thank you very much. I have flashed your uploaded three files and would like to confirm that this v8.4 is the best ROM for u8800 nowadays. BTW, since the original ROM is from China, I do hope to have your help to keep update this ROM whenever there is a new version or any changes.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iakoboss7:
no problem, i can keep you updated, at least until Genokolar decides to put his work here.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NeostarNeko:
tried the v8.4 from Genokolar on my UK Huawei U8800 and it didn't work kept looping at the start screen, so I went back to using the FLB Custom ROM
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iakoboss7:
did you fully wiped everything? used 4.0.0.5 recovery? if yes then i dont know what you have done wrong cause i (and others i know) never had a problem with installing this.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkaran:
I flashed this ROM yesterday. One problem though is that almost half my battery drained while I was asleep (WiFi, Bluetooth, Data etc were all closed).

Today I wiped my battery stats to check if that was just a stats problem. Anyone else having battery problems?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iakoboss7:
thats the problem all froyo roms (custom or not) have. the phone cant get into deep sleep mode when screen is off.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] catolh:
Most stable rom ive tried for now is the official b138 rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkaran:
Is there any workaround or are we stuck with it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Nope. Upgrade to Gingerbread (Oxygen, Miui, CM7), that's the only solution for this issue... :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iakoboss7:
try something, when you lock the phone and screen turns off press a button to turn it ON again BUT dont unlock it, just let it turn off the screen by itself. this way my phone goes into deep sleep with more than 90% chances.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Invicta:
the best rom for the moment imho is oxygen, it is working 99.99% perfectly and if the dev can get HiSuite work with this rom it will be 100% stable and awesome as well.

MIUI is also very stable but the iphonish style isnt up to my taste
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] khunjj:
Oxygen 17/8 + franco kernel 17/8 + zram = the best ROM at the moment. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
Best one is MIUI 1.8.19 (20.8.2011).

1) Make sure you have ClockworkMod Installed. http://code.google.com/p/u8800-cm7/downloads/detail?name=recovery_en_2.img

2) Download the ROM File you want (zip file) and place on the root of the SD Card. for example MIUI ROM: http://code.google.com/p/u8800-miui/downloads/detail?name=miui_u8800-200811.zip&can=2&q=

3) Make sure you have Backed up Contacts and Anything you want to keep.

4) Power on your Phone while holding the VOL+ Button to boot into ClockworkMod.

5) Go to Backup a Restore and Choose Backup. This will do a Full Backup of your phone and save it to the SD Card.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AndytheAndroid:
I can't answer for the Desire 'cause the situation's probably different but Oxygen is just pure stock with a few helpful additions while CM7 is a rather large change to stock Android. I like to think of Oxygen as CM7 lite.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] GolfCranK:
Thanks. That's actually very helpful.

So Miui is much more full-featured than Oxygen would you say?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mahubey:
I think most rom only miui. thanks miui development.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Miui is much more than just a Mod (like Oxygen/Cyanogen), it's actually a fully developed ROM (with its own theme manager, themes, interface without App drawer, its own file manager, its own Toggle interface, its own Settings interface)

So yes, Miui has much more features compared to Oxygen/CM7.

Oxygen and CM7 are similar...both simple and stable.

i don't quite like miui's interface, because I don't like iPhone
