[Xperia Play General] intaglioman:
So after schedualing the CwM to install on teh' Play (Using the market website) I looked on the CwM website and realised there was no support as-of-yet for the backup/restore or even install of the CwM Recovery menu on my Xperia PLAY (R800i). I'm Rooted and although the Xperia play is how I like it.

I love coding (My Job actually, For the British Army) and I've rooted and built custom rom's for differing devices (HTC Wildfire, Elonex eTouch/Zenithink ZT180) Im in the process of both the X10 Mini Pro and the R800i.

So far I've tinkered with a few programs by copying them to SD (Rockin' a 32GB) and deleting them from Root. I started building apps in the ADB and running them side-by-side to my Pre-installed stuff and then once happy I deleted the prinstalled ones (keeping back-ups incase I need to restore for any reason)

My question is, Is there a ROM Backup-er/restorer? Obviously CmW has NO Support AOY, And I dont really fancy backup each and every file/folder individually.. if theres SOMETHING with with an Oz of capability to BACKUP my ROM and restore it lemme know!

Cheers

[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
The problem is on the play recovery is held on /boot with the kernel, so recovery cannot be flashed by conventional means because obviously that would wipe boot partition, but devs have now embedded recovery in boot.img, so some kernels come with CWM built in.

To flash a custom kernel though you need an unlocked bootloader, only factory unlocked sim free devices are eligible for a bootloader unlock code at the moment.
[Xperia Play General] intaglioman:
How do I check if I have a locked/Unlocked bootloader? I knew how to bring up weather I had S-on or S-off on my Wildfire/buzz but not this :eek:

SuperManager has a Back-up APKs and SMBK mode.. just backup-ed my APKs for now ^_^
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Best way to check if you have an unlockable bootloader, is to turn the device off, then connect it to your pc/laptop while holding the search button!!

If the LED on the power button turns blue, it can be unlocked, if the charging screen appears, your locked out until the devs can crack it :eek:

Im a bit out of touch. How do I flash the original 2.2 rom on rooted phone?

I want to flash 2.2 to go to 2.3 to do revoltionary for s-off and also see about flashing a different partion table from alpha rev.

Currently my phone is running CM7 but has a HBOOT Version of 0.80.xxx
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Download 2.2 ruu, boot phone into fastboot mode, connect phone to computer and run the downloaded ruu.exe on your computer.
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
Ah shall see about doing that, I don't remeber having to run .exes

Ive always done everything with the phone itsself

Anything I need?

I have a feeling I will have overlooked software
[Desire General] DasGensu:
as mentioned right above your post, you need the ruu.exe for your device.

If it came/is unbranded, use the official HTC one, otherwise use the branded RUU from your providers homepage or the corresponding xda thread

Somehow my backup from premango got lost... i have no idea and im past that ....

I am running a locked HD7 from Tmobile using 7712 which I update through zune. I want to get back to a stock ROM so when Mango is released over zune I will be able to get it over zune. Where do I go from here?

BTW... on the update tab on zune, all it says is that my phone is up to date and there is no button there that says "restore".

Then flash this ROM (seems to be the most recent T-Mobile one - Build 7392):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1183891

I don't know if there are any generic US ROMs that you could use. It would get rid of any T-Mobile branding, but I don't think it would unlock it for you.

Alternately, you could follow one of the many guides that will let you update 7712 to 7720 (RTM). The RTM should receive official updates from HTC once they've release their official Mango firmware.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Floods7:
Currently I am at 7712 and locked. How would I get to 7720 RTM and be unlocked? I saw that in the link you posted if you are currently unlocked you can stay unlocked when going to 7720 but you have to be previously unlocked. So what ROM should I flash to in order to unlock my phone? And then move along to 7720?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowise:
Are you talking about a carrier lock or a developer lock? I don't believe flashing any ROM will remove a carrier lock. You usually have to pay to get a code and unlock it that way, though I could easily be wrong. Hopefully someone else can clarify.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Floods7:
When I say locked I mean the opposite of a chevron unlock. So im not able to side load apps
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cina:
You can flash one of ansar's Custom ROMs that is all unlocked by default.

Or you can go back to 7392/7390 and apply Chevron by yourself. You can follow this thread to keep all unlocked during updates and reach finally 7720.

Or you can stay at 7392 (locked/unlocked) and wait for official Mango.

Have to sell phone due to some unfortunate financial circumstances, but was wondering what I need to do exactly to restore it back to stock.

Atm, it's rooted/S-Off and flashed with the InsertCoin 2.2.1 Rom and i'm in the process of restoring the nandroid backup (stock). I also wiped data/factory reset the phone as well as formatted /system from CWM.

Is there anything else i should do? Should i format the SDCard? Return to S-ON ? remove root? (not sure how to remove root only and keep S-Off)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syamsoul:
Thanks slaphead20 for response, :)

Already flashed again with speedmod kernel which has ext4 support. But my data seem corrupted already. About 70% of my app (including samsung stock app) seem like corrupted (they can't open anymore).

So, just want to know, if flashing RFS-support only/stock ROM over EXT4 partition give damage/corrupted the data on EXT4?

Because I thought, if the kernel doesnt support EXT4, then, it just cant read the partition. So, is this true? or Is it wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Ah, I get your point, this may be the case, and remember ext4 conversion can be 2 part, the initial conversion and then converting system? I forget as I have been on a cm7 base for a while which uses yaffs2 and hence no lagfix needed and I'm no tech head! :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerTeufel1980:
I don`t believe, that flashing a wrong kernel is destroying your data. Because the kernel can´t read your file system, the phone just isn´t booting.

Maybe something else went wrong. Try wiping the dalvic cache from recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syamsoul:
Yes, agreed with u.

At first, my gps doesnt function. It did turn on but cant get fixed , even no satellite signal received.

So, I flashed stock kernel using sgs kernel flasher while my partitions still in EXT4.

As expected, my sgs didnt boot , its went into boot loop continously.

So, I weny home, flash darkcore kernel using odin.

But still didnt boot. It just stay in s logo with darkys logo.

So I pull off my battery and went into download mode again, and flash galaxian kernel.

It successfuly can boot, but lots of my app I cant access even they appeared in app drawer . Message thread that had mms also cause mms.apk fc.

So, I flash jvr all over again.

I just want to know, what had cause my data to corrupt like that.

either flashing stock kernel which is doesnt have EXT4 support or while 1st time booting after flashing darkcore kernel(which in mind, the system still in booting process but I pulled the battery, but it takes too long!)

Thanks in advance

So I'm still running the stock firmware, and overall it's being fairly tolerable now that it's had all the useless t-mobile apps removed. But one continues to elude me. Every time I boot the phone, every time I switch from wifi to 3G, every time my phone re-discovers the network, or any time the phone simply feels like it, I see "T-Mobile Contacts Backup" run for a minute. I'm in Canada, on the Wind network, so this is completely pointless to me. Yet I've not been able to get rid of it.

I've gone into Accounts and Sync and set T-Mobile Contacts Sync to off. I've also gone into my contacts to make sure it's set to save to google, and that display contacts from t-mobile contacts backup is turned off. No change.

I've also wandered around the installed apps with Titanium backup manager, but I don't see anything called "T-Mobile Contacts Backup."

Does anyone know how to remove this irritating little app once and for all?

You need to use a file managing program with root access like super manager also and it is in /system/app you need to change access to r/w also

Yea that should be it but to be safe before you delete it change the apk to bak and make sure the tmobile backup doesn't work anymore then delete it

Hey guys, I seem to be having a problem on my phone recently.. Every time I start it up, or try to load an app or something, I get a message saying the process ends. This happens with Google Apps, Gingerbread Keyboard, Etc. I've tried wipe x3 then reflash, but it doesn't do anything.

I'm running

I believe it's still on SFR 1.2 , but it's not saying that in the build number so I'm not sure..

someone please help. :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
If you have a good nand backup you can do a factory data reset and then restore advanced data. That will clear up any of the FCs. Or clear data in each of the apps giving you problems in settings>applications>manage applications>all and scroll to google services framework and click it and clear data. Do the same for the Gingerbread keyboard and any other app FCing.

I will try this, but the other problem is, it just started having problems with the android processor. Like, I did a restore, and all the sudden, I'm getting all the errors I was getting originally, and like the core & android processor thing is failing.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Sounds like you did not have journaling enabled. The Factory Data reset and a reflash of your ROM should fix it. Find out how to enable journaling for your ROM and do it.

I believe Simply AOSP is a full ROM including kernel so that would be what you would reflash.

When you install a new ROM like AOSP all of that is gone. If you want to do SFR and Genocide instead of AOSP then go ahead. We should get you up and running first though and then you know the steps to take when it screws up again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
