hello, i have tried to flash cyanogenmod, but i have forgotten to erase all data before installing.

now, if i start my motorola pro, i see the start screen. and nothing happens else.

i have tried to get into the recovery menü by pressing x, and power button. no chance. i wanted to make a hardware reset like described here

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

Hardware hard reset method

1. Turn the Droid off. If it won’t turn off, take the battery out then place it back in.

2. Open the keyboard and press the X key while pressing and holding Power. The device will power on. Keep holding the buttons down until a yellow triangle appears on the screen.

3. Press the Camera and Volume Up buttons at the same time to get to the menu. (I had to press them several times to get it to work).

4. Use the direction pad to the right of the keyboard to select the Format option.

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

nothing happens. i can not get into the recovery menü. is there another way to erase all datas from the phone ?

sorry for my poor english.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

i have found it out

if you can not get into the recovery menü, press "R" + "M", and put in your wall charger.

wait a few seconds. you will see the "!" sign.

after that press "@"

you will go to recovery menü

ok so this is very annoying as it takes such a long time.

ive tried sms back up and restore and myback up root.

contacts, apps, and everything else i have the patience to sit thru when they are restoring.

but the texts messages which i have a total of 20,172 and the process of restoring, im not kidding, takes about 5 hrs (WTF?). i have to keep these texts messages as i cant afford to lose them.

and wait for it is sooo annoying.

so xda people is there a faster way to restore my text messages without the ridiculous wait time??

thanks

I use GO SMS Pro. You can backup all of sms and send them to dropbox. Keep them in archive (dont restore them until you need them) if you don't need them immediately. Then you can just back up just the resent sms. This is just one way to manage it. It works for me. Hope that helps.

you could easily use SMS Backup & Restore and store the .xml files on your computer.

Simple Process really.. Just back them up, connect to your USB Cable and go into SMSBackupRestore folder and move the .xml file over to your computer

After that is done you can open the file in either Microsoft Excel or another OpenXML Program

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriCkYiCe:
Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but I too have this problem.

I think the issue is that parsing from XML into the SQL Lite db takes forEVER with smaller amounts of processing power. If your screen is off, the restore can literally take days because of the screen-off CPU settings.

Can anyone confirm that Crossrocker's method works and is quick?

Thanks all!

when i install the ROM is too fast, but when i installs apps (and not a lot) the roms become too slow and i dont like that... so i decided to reinstall Eclair, the official SE Rom, but after to use great roms for example if i use the Whats Apps and i listening music, when i try to type and i cannot and some seconds appers all the charts... :mad:

Well when Eclair that dont happend but i miss some features like the Turn On Key to Hung up calls... so..

One of the flaws with HP and webos was no one actually got on board and made any apps. People who bought the tablets are all over the web trying to put Android on it!
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
True.. but be that as it may, WebOS was based on linux kernel so porting Android apps to WebOS should be relatively easy (given the proper knowledge).

My only fear is that the OS doesn't look tweaked enough - it looks like Android's younger cousin, that will remain a baby child for the rest of it's life :)

[Motorola Droid 3] kern417:
I have an issue that comes up randomly. I noticed that sometimes when i send or receive a text message that there is a chance that it will create a new thread. So basically i have 2 ongoing text message threads with some of my contacts. This happens often when creating a new message, sometimes when i receive a reply, and rarely (but still happens) when replying to a thread. Replying to a thread is the weirdest one because i type and hit send and suddenly all the messages disappear as it created a new thread, or all the messages change since it threw me into the other ongoing thread.

Is this supposed to be a feature? At first I thought it dealt with a setting I saw where after 3 minutes it can stop grouping messages or something like that. I can't seem to find the option now. But i use GO SMS Pro and saw this 'bug' (as i see it) before i installed GO and now the issue is mirrored both in GO and the native android text messaging app. Is there any way to turn this off? I just want all my texts for one contact in one thread in the order they were sent/received.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emissia:
If you have an Xperia Arc version 2.3.3 unlocked bootloader, you can't root using Gingerbreak or Super1click as the update, unwillingly, made sure that stuff doesn't work anymore.

The only way to root, as far as I know, is flashing -> getting 2.3.2 ROM -> root from their -> update.

I can not use that way as everytime I try to update in the last step it wont turn on again after reboot (so I have to flash using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126358, though i'm sure it'll work for most of you.

Question being: Is there atm really no alternative to root for me then? I'm kinda desperate, i've been looking on XDA a lot of hours and this is rly my last hope to get this over with..

thx in advance!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreyGhostRos:
As you said yourself.. You have an unlocked bootloader.. so you don't have to more like you cannot use the FOTA technique cos OTA update bricks the phone..

Simply flash one of the prerooted kernel like DoomLord Kernel.. Should do it .. Or if you want the stock kernel then Serach the forums for something like "Root 4.0.A.2.368" They will usually specifically say that you need unlocked bootloader..

[Guide] All in one 'Namaste guide' to Bootloader unlocking, Rooting, Flashing & more
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emissia:
thx for the replies.

though, I've read that whole guide before, problem is:

"Ques – Ok. So quickly tell me how to unlock my Xperia Arc’s bootloader and install a beautiful Custom ROM.

Not so fast dear. I described a deal about bootloader and benefits of its unlocking but let’s get practical. There are two disadvantages of unlocking the Xperia Arc’s bootloader.

As per my knowledge, till date, there is no Custom ROM designed for your Xperia Arc. So, it’s useless to unlock your bootloader. "

So, if a "non stock kernel" means the same as a "custom ROM", where do I find it? i dont want the original one as that1 is outdated. I know how to flash my phone, but only with delivered folders (which are always X10)

with kind regards,

Tom
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinyXperia:
I have the same problem with my Neo. I've tried flashing 2.2.2, then rooting with Flashtool (just click Xperia X10), but this doesn't work, and after relocking the bootloader and updating, the phone is bricked as well. Tried this like 5 times.

I think I'll just wait for 2.3.4 as my main reasons to root are making screenshots and removing bloatware. 2.3.4 adds screenshots, and currently, my ROM is not totally full.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emissia:
Same here, just wanna get that bloatware off, starting to look like i'm gonna wait as well... this has already taken enough hours away from me
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Flash a prerooted image or relock the bootloader and use the more lengthy method.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreyGhostRos:
Hmm.. Only non stock kernels yet around are the DoomLord and CM (FreeXperia) kerenls.. Check the development forums for them..

The Stock aren't really "outdated".. These custom kerenels are based on the original stock code with a few features enabled.. So don't expect android 2.3.4 from them or anything..

As for rooting issues.. Follow the Namaste guide and a few posts in the development forum bout rooting arc properly and carefully.. Noting what is Locked and Unlocked and which method works where.. And it won't take more than 15 minutes to setup everything..

Hello people of xda-developers

I got my first Android phone, which is an LG G2X 2.3.3 Gingerbread.

I have been searching around and found out you can root your phone which is kinda like jailbreaking an iphone.

I still don't completely understand how to do it though. I've seen a couple of threads that tell you how to root your Android device with something called SuperOneClick, but from what I understand, this doesn't work with the new Gingerbread.

Now from what I understand, you first have to root your phone, then flash it with CWM Recovery with NVFlash right?

Could someone please lead me to the threads that explain how to root a G2X with Gingerbread, and how to flash it with CWM Recovery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
hope this helps

although someone did post a way to root the gingerbread rom its pretty complicated for a new user.

the oneclick methods of rooting for the 2.3.3 dont exist.

if you want to be able to flash custom roms(which you do) than follow this link and it will walk you through what to do.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

that will get you where you need to be. but it will not root the rom you are currently using youll need to flash a custom rom for that. in the development section youll see several roms either from source. or that are based on the 2.3.3 release and xboarders is the 2.3.3 with root only thats the only change.

good luck.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
Okay I flashed CWM via NVFlash. Now I have a question. How can I backup my apps before flashing a rom. I tried to use Titanium Backup, but that doesn't work because my phone isn't rooted. If I boot into Recovery, do I have to wipe data before I install for ex. CM7 onto my phone? But wouldn't wiping the data delete all of my apps?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
Yes wipe everything. Here's a step-by-step method of flashing new roms:

1. Wipe Data/Factory

2. Wipe Cache

3. Wipe Dalvik

4. Wipe Battery stats - HINT. Always flash new ROMs with 100% battery to get the best battery life

5. Format/system

6. install zip from SD card

7. Fix permissions

8. Reboot and Enjoy!

All your paid apps will come again when you login to your Google account and set up your market. In Market, just press the menu button and hit My Apps and you should be able to re-install all your paid apps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
If you have Clockworkmod successfully flashed then you CAN now root without flashing another rom. Download the zip (theres one that roots, and one that unroots should you ever want that) file from the OP of this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1255214. Save it to your sdcard, boot into recovery and select to install zip from sdcard. Navigate to the zip file and install/flash it. Reboot and you have rooted your system with all your files and apps in place.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
I did this. My phone is now rooted, but I ran into a problem. I tried flashing CM7 through ROM manager, I cleared cache and Dalvik and then flashed the CM7 Rom, but when I go to reboot, the phone freezes at the "T-Mobile G2X with Google" animation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Try it without rom manager. Power your phone off and then boot into recovery by holding power + volume down until you see the recovery splash screen. Do a full wipe and then flash cm7 again. After successfully installing cm7, or any rom for that matter, your first reboot may take several minutes while it builds the dalvik cache. Subsequent reboots will be MUCH faster.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
Ah okay, I didn't know the first reboot takes longer. I'll give it a try from CWM Recovery.

Just wondering, which ROM is the most stable/popular?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Popular? Its really about personal preference but I'd say cm7, xboarders stock tweaked, miui, weapon, and eaglesblood are right up there at the top. If you want a more stock experience go with xboarders. Cm7 is fairly stock looking with a lot of useful features added. Miui is the opposite end of the spectrum, a very different kind of android indeed lol.

As for stable, any of the ones I mentioned are good, and probably others as well. Cm7 nightly builds are certainly useful enough to be a daily driver, but they have a few issues, but what else would you expect from nightly builds. They are development versions, not final releases.

Try a few and find what you like. Just make sure to keep a good working backup in case you fubar your phone lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
Alright I got CM7 working and flashed google apps.

Now I have another little problem :o Before I flashed CM7, I used Titanium Backup to backup some of my game apps. After I flashed CM7, I go to Titanium Backup and none of my apps are there to restore. I connected my phone to my computer and I opened the Titanium Backup folder and the zip files and the PROPERTIES files are all there. How come I'm not able to restore my apps using Titanium Backup if all of the files are there?

I have the .apk files for the apps and I can just install them again, but I'm going to lose my save data.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I have never had success with Titanium Backup. Just reinstall your apks clean and forget about the old data. A clean install is better. Think about doing a new Windows installation. Do you want to import the crap that messed up your Windows in the first place? Android is the same way. Better to not import your old data and start new.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thanasisc4:
Wait no! Don't do that you can salvage ur save data.

What happens when you install CM7 is that the sdcard directory now points to your external sd card rather then the internal that comes with the phone.

the internal is now at /mnt/emmc

Get root explorer and you will see what I'm talking about.

Once you have root explorer just copy the titanium backup folder from /mnt/emmc to /sdcard and you should be able to restore all user apps with data... however DO NOT restore system data from stock to CM7... big headaches.

Hope this helps! :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
Too late, lol.

I deleted the Titanum Backup folder from my phone. :(

Oh well, nothing GameCIH can't solve. :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GnubbyaBush:
Titanium backup goes to you internal sdcard. so you connect to you computer find the folder named TitaniumBackup or something like that, then move that folder to your sd card. Its just a matter of keeping same folder structure that titanium looks for (ie the correct folder name), and puttin the files in there, on the correct external sd card

oh also most of the time replacing the app doesn't work, just replace the data and it will work (unless of course you are actually trying to change the app in that case good luck).
