[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luizffgarcia:
Has anyone discovered what's the problem with restoring nanodroid backups with romracer's Recovery?

I see many of us have the same problem, restore work almost fine, it restores the operational system, but does not restore accounts and applications...

Edit:

New information:

I created two new backups as i am trying different ROMs.

I created one for CM7 and tested the restore, everything works perfectly! All apps and accounts...

Also created one for nCrust, this one have the same problem as i reported, the system is there, but it lacks all applications and accounts...

I also noticed that the nanodroid file is 0 bytes for the cases where the error occurs, and 1kb in the case where it worked fine.

Thanks

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordOfTheSnatch:
I'm not having an issue at all. Did you use romracer's CWM to backup?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpolansky:
I used it to backup and restore and it restored everything; apps and accounts included.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luizffgarcia:
Yes, i did!

I flashed the last romracer's CWM yesterday, and created the backup next...

There are other users with this problem as well, but i can't find a fix for that anywhere...

Did you backup webtop (optional)? And upon selecting restore, are you trying to restore webtop?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpagador:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luizffgarcia:
I did not selected webtop when created the backup, and did not selected the webtop upon restore.

I was actualy trying to restore everything i had installed, but i don't use webtop that much, so i decided not to include it...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luizffgarcia:
The issue is that when i restore the backup, i get a clean Gingerbread, without any of my previously installed applications or accounts!

I'm also running piCRUST (v0.7) and romracer's CWM recovery 3.2. I will try this and report back the results.

P.S. would help us if you gave ROM, kernel, and recovery versions, etc. Thanks...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyPhreak:
i just now did a backup and restore from within romracer's v3.2 recovery and all my post-piCRUST install tweaks are still in place. WiFi even came right back up with my WPA2 connection as it was before I rebooted for the test.

Of course, if the recovery actually did nothing at all then this behavior is expected. :p

Seriously, this part of the recovery is probably lifted wholesale from the codebase before romracer got involved, with the exception of being able to choose the external SD card for backup storage. That's what I did this first time. Now for another test, but this time I will backup to the internal card.

BRB...

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

No problems either with a backup and restore to/from the internal SD card. I just stepped through the recovery menu and chose all the defaults except for the webtop part.

Looking forward to your report of installed versions OP. When you boot into the recovery the very first line should say:

"CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.4-atrix3.2"

Is this what you see?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyPhreak:
I haven't seen a lot of complaints about this myself, but up until now I've only been monitoring romracer's original post in the dev section. Can you point us to another thread where this is mentioned?

Not doubting you, I'd just like to see if there's some pertinent info about this issue that we're missing. Thanks...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyPhreak:
Also, if you are choosing an Advanced Restore, please tell us exactly what options you are selecting, as they are described in the recovery menu itself (e.g. not "accounts", etc.). Thanks again...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
Hello XDA,

I'm back in school come September for my 5th semester of Computer Engineering, what I'm looking for is an app/widget where I can have a small photo of my timetable/schedule and when pressed will open up a larger picture of my timetable to check class locations/times and whatnot.

I've tried a few picture frame widgets but none of them really seem to have the ability to link to a larger picture where more detail can be seen (as the font is rather small and need the larger image to read). I would be happy if I could even create an icon called SCHEDULE that when pressed opens up the picture of my schedule, as long as its not as slow as navigating to my Gallery, selecting the folder in which the picture is stored, and then scrolling to find the picture of my schedule.

Does anyone know of an app or somehow that I can make this happen?

Cheers

I was looking for 90º usb cables for the 3vo and came across this website that lets you create your own cable, lengths and all

[HTC EVO 3D] the.joeba:
Holy Crud! They cost $50/cable.

I'll go out on a limb and say I will make you a cable for half that.

I'm setting up shop right now. Right angle Micro USB to standard USB cables for $25, who wants one.

I'm only half serious, but this would not be difficult.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xavierdylan:
I still dont see where it mentions it was bricking devices?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] krips2003:
This is what the Engadget says.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/16/samsung-halts-touchwiz-ux-updates-to-prevent-bricking-issues/
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] :
Of course Samsung won't admit that their update is bricking devices. I do give them credit for identifying there is a problem and halting the update until the problems are resolved. As long as Samsung is making things right by the customer, such as replacing said bricked device, you can't ask for much more than that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] foxbat121:
On the Android phone side, it happened almost to every major updates Samsung released in many regions (Europe, Canada and US). First, update released. Then, halted. After a while, re-released again.

So, it is not too much to ask Samsung not to do this on every updates. Where is the testing/QA?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hedgy2136:
I don't know if that's what bricked mine or not, but it's good to know.

I opened my shiny new Galaxy Tab 10.1 on Monday afternoon. One of the first things I did was install updates. After I tried to power cycle it, I could not get it to turn back on. It went back to Samsung yesterday for repair/replacement.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jschenck96:
Mine was sort of bricked. After I installed the TW update (the day it was released) it was caught in a boot loop. Samsung support had me clear all user data via recovery boot - that didn't fix it so the only option they offered was for me to send it back. I ended up rooting it and installing the OTA image with TW I got from here.

Samsung could do a lot better here by offering the utility to flash a fresh OS onto the device. There's no reason for us to send in the Tablet because it's caught in a boot loop. It'd save Samsung a lot of money if they'd support end user device wipe and reloads of the OS via a PC.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] :
Oh I agree completely.... I wish companies would test their updates more thoroughly before releasing for general consumption. I see that crap all the time at work. But sadly, we consumers have become beta testers... and have been for quite some time I'm afraid. What I'm saying is that at least Samsung is trying to make it right by the consumer by either fixing or replacing the device.

Dutch website Webwereld, which also raised issues yesterday concerning pictures of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 presented by Apple to the Düsseldorf court, was first to break the news that the Landgericht (district court) Düsseldorf has temporarily -- for at least the time between now and the hearing on August 25 -- suspended the enforcement of the preliminary injunction prohibiting Samsung's distribution of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in all EU countries except in the German market.

[HTC Sensation] Francey:
Yes I understand but I look for someone who has installed the latest update from HTC and then used Revolutionary, so he can make a copy of HBoot 1.18.0000
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
Here

Download also contains radio and other firmware updates, just extract the hboot and do with it what you will. BTW once you run revolutionary that hboot gets replaced by the hacked revolutionary hboot so getting it from a device that ran revo is pointless!
[HTC Sensation] Francey:
Thanks but i search the hacked revolutionary hboot not official.
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
Just run revolutionary then, cause you aren't making sense to me. It seems like you are making this too complicated. I guess I can't help you.
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
He wants someone who ran the revolutionary exploit on the latest hboot to make a copy for him to flash.

But iirc, the latest revolutionary downgrades you back to 1.17 so trying to get a 1.18 is futile.
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
That is exactly what I said already in Post #9, lol
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:

[HTC Sensation] LLLeeo:
Actually I've got S-Off and Hboot 1.18 and if someone tells me how to extract it I would do it but I don't know how to do
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
You must have flashed the update after you got s-off which is fine but then you'll be missing out because fastboot cmds are not enabled in the stock hboot.
[HTC Sensation] SnZ:
So there's no option to have hacked HBOOT 1.18.0000/1.18.1111 with revoultionary? Only option is downgrade to 1.17.1111?
[HTC Sensation] LLLeeo:
You can S-Off it on 2.3.3 and update it OTA. I think it's the only way right now
[HTC Sensation] SnZ:
Is this safe? Any info about differences in 1.18 / 1.17?

Btw my phone is sent to HTC because I did some mistake and bricked it.

When it will be back with OTA 2.3.4 then downgrade to 2.3.3 -> S-OFF -> upgrade 2.3.4? It will be safe?
[HTC Sensation] :
Done it today so it should be save. But if you're sending it to HTC why do you want S-Off?
[HTC Sensation] SnZ:
I send it when did S-OFF from android 2.3.4 (HBOOT 1.18.0000) and get HBOOT 1.17.1111, I was suprised it wasn't 1.18 HBOOT after this and did some mistakes with fastboot commands and boom bricked.

I don't know if this repaired device will be S-OFF then I'm just thinking about the good way if I will need to root again.

I don't know anything about replacement procedure btw.

Thanks for fast replying, I appreciate that.

[Nook Color General] hnzw_rui:
Is anyone else here having issues with screen sensitivity on the Nook Color? I'm running CM7 on SD card (Sandisk 16GB Class 4) and it appears to be running fairly well. My only issue is oftentimes, it senses taps when I'm just scrolling and the bottom left corner of the screen where the options/settings/menu icon is located is particularly difficult to tap. I usually have to try tapping the area 2~4 times before the menu will open. Drag and drop operations are also particularly painful.

I had similar problems with nightly 130's (forget the original one I had). After about 5 minutes of use it would start to randomly spazz out and tap the screen out of no-where. The only fix was to put it to sleep then wake it up again, then it would do it again 5 minutes later.

I upgraded to the latest nightly earlier today and now it is as smooth as butter and I have no problems at all. I used 164 if your interested.

i grabbed this last week and its a lot more accurate in the corners, edges of the screen. i used to touch 5 to 6 times on the "share" button in the browser for google reader mobile. after running the app, i can do it in 1 to 2 times now.

i keep a screen cleaner (eye glass micro fibre rag) in the bag with my nook, i typically have to clean the screen 2-3 times a day b/c "finger prints" starts to distract me too much, not b/c of mistaken touches.

i did have a problem 2 weeks ago where touching was fine, but the keyboard, (both built-in and swype) in both orientations were going crazy, i would hit one letter and it would hit 20+ random characters. i rebooted twice and wiped the screen 2-3 times and it hasnt happened again.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmntruexjr:
So, last night I wanted to try a passive antenna on my cappy because I get no signal at work. I was at home where I get 2 to 3 bars average. I popped the rubber plug out and carefully inserted the connector. I noticed no difference at all. I unplugged it and tried a second passive antenna that had no connector just bare wires so I inserted the center wire into the external antenna hole and again saw no noticeable difference so I pulled it out and set the phone down to take care of my mess. When I came back to it I noticed that I had no service at all. Now I have to be right next to a tower to even get 1 or 2 bars.

How could I have messed up the internal antenna just by using the external to test a passive antenna? Is there anything close to the internal antenna or the external connector that I could have touched with the bare wire that could have ruined my internal antenna?:confused:

Short answer yes and no. However without the correct adapter you can damage it and basically disconnect the internal antenna. Read this thread:

For some reason I've lost my wifi....

I was coming from gingerblur with working wifi then i upgraded to cm7 pre-beta 1 wifi was working, It was also working on Beta 2 then I noticed it just stopped working.... I have re flashed beta 2 a few times Ive restored a few backups, However wifi still does not work.... If I restart my phone go to wifi settings it says turn on I try that then it just says error..... and never turns on... If I restart my phone I have the option to turn on wifi again until I try turning on wifi then it goes back to error... and no Wifi... The reason I reloaded beta 2 again was because I was messing with my settings in CM7 and I turned on the notification widgets from the pulldown if i held down 2g/3g data it opened up a menu and i selected a 2g/3g option then I lost my signal... So I restored a backup ever since I did that my signal was back however my wifi has never worked since, Ive tried restoring and redoing beta 2 from scratch but I still have the same wifi problem...

Can anyone help or have any idea what I can do to fix this..... Should I flash a sbf file like fruitcake.... then reboot and install pre-beta 2 again will that fix my wifi.... or is this a possible hardware issue maybe I broke my wifi while pulling my battery......
