Hi everyone,

I want to root my phone (will use this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1200167 - I dont understand much about this but ohh well) and i read this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=900905) so i kinda knew what i was doing. And as i understood from that thread, the best way to backup all my data (like creating my custom rom right?) is with nandroid! But what is nandroid and how can i backup my data with it?

I just would like some suggestions from you! what i should do and how i should do it before i root my phone?

Thank you in advance!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mastershefis:
After root install custom recovery, reboot phone to it and choose backup, wait and its done.

send from Andy's PHOENIX.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Palmaaa:
i didnt quite understood the install custom recovery! how can i install it? i can only do a backup of my recovery when i root my phone?

would be awesome if i could have a private chat with someone who could lose some of their time explaining me this!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
After rooting your phone, please read this how-to and you should able to install recovery just fine

BTW, prefer installing TWRP v1.0.3.13b recovery instead of the buggy CWM or old amonra
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Palmaaa:
I forgot to mention that my knowledge about this is basically "0"! So i would thank you if you could explain a little better!

Sorry and thank you once again for understanding!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] calhotel:
ok, my understanding is that in order to use nandroid backup, your phone has to be rooted first.

in the link you posted about rooting GB 2.3.3 ROM, it only mentioned using astro file manager to backup the apps. nowhere it mentioned nandroid backup.

if you are rooting a froyo(2.2/2.2.x) based phone, it is really quite simple. I do not think any kind of backup is needed at all.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Palmaaa:
Well i finished rooting my phone. Went well with no problems. Quite simple in fact, but what i wanted to know is, imagine i install a custom rom (btw, i know kernel improves the performance of your phone, so what does a custom rom does?) that i suddenly dont like, so i want to get back to my hold one. How can i backup my original rom?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] calhotel:
OK, my suggestion is to use ROM manager from market. quite noob friendly.

it has backup/restore option right there. just follow the menu.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Palmaaa:
Oh ok! thank you very much for your time! i'll remember myself to use that app when i think of getting a new rom! probably tomorrow or so! :)

again, thank you!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
To use ROM Manager features you must inevitable flash CWM recovery and to do so you have two options, first beign flashing it via ROM Manager that can cause a bricked phone, or use recovery flashing how-to i posted earlier and install buggy and crappy CWM from there, thats why i recommend TWRP recovery

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
[Optimus One, P500, V General] calhotel:
thanks for the warning, but CWM has been working great for me. no problem at all.

yeah, do proceed with caution.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
Ya, its not that it'll break phone but many features dont go well like zip signature verification which verifies that everything is correct in the zip and so the flash process will not cause a corrupted filesystem, mmm the amount of "No" confirmations are frankly ridiculous... some users reported flashing problems with the last version 5.0.2.0... Cannot repair SD Card, doesnt have touchscreen support and it cannot make selective backups which frankly s%x cause you wasted time and space... (also the fact that doesnt have themes support and cant compress backups...)

And also the fact tha maaany maaany users including me have bricked their phones flashing via ROM Manager... And also the fact that wiping cache & dalvik with CWM will cause conflict with a2sd script users...

Anyway @Palmaaa if you want to risk your phone flash via rom manager... if you want a crappy recovery flash CWM.... if you want the best and safest recovery then prefer TWRP v1.0.3.13b, your phone and your physical keys will say thank you
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Palmaaa:
I appreciate your warning! ill try to search a bit more about what im going to do next!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Never use ROM manager. It breaks the phone and it gets stuck at LG logo on boot. Many users have reported the issue. Use the recovery for flashing and taking backups.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] calhotel:
it never happened to me. look at the rating on market, do you think all the users are morons?

yeah, you guys had some bad experiences and hated this thing with a passion, but get the fact straight. sometimes it may not be rom manager but something else that bricked your phone.

not trying to argue or anything. just present with another opinion.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
sorry that you dont want to argue but, boy are you kidding me with that rating thing?? do you really think that every single person in market (and that rated that thing) has an Optimus One?? you are sooo naive....

In our phone p500 or optimus one, 01, OO, ROM Manager is very well known for bricking our devices.... :rolleyes:

Oh, and btw seems that you doesnt have a clue on how benefical is to have a properly working zip verification feature and also the plethora of other useful functions TWRP has..

kthnxbye
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Yeah, none of them are morons. For every other widget and live wallpaper app, the 'intelligent' users rate the app 1 star just because they cannot find it under the app drawer. So keeping in mind the 'intelligent' users on the market, I don't give a **** about the ratings.

It doesn't make a difference if you did not face issues. There are many people who have faced the issue and ONLY because of ROM manager. Just wanted to prevent another user from facing a similar issue and instead use the clean and safe method of custom recovery.

You tone showed that you're arguing. That last sentence doesn't make any sense.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] calhotel:
statistically, I trust that rating more than you guys' opinion. sorry to tell you the truth.

TWRP, yeah, that's nice. but CWD worked for me, so?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
Dude you are not helping.... encouraging users and specially new users to install something that has a high risk to screw and brick ur phone is not a way of helping them, if rom manager worked for you its fine, but maybe for another user it'll break his phone, ROM Manager is an unreliable app and method to use recoveries....... Ohh and btw user can install whatever he wants im just guiding and encouraging him to install the safest and most trustworthy and functional recovery of all, and is TWRP v1.0.3.13b

Have phun when ur volume keys, menu or any other button stops working LOLz :)

cya
[Optimus One, P500, V General] calhotel:
thanks, I think you already scared a lot of ppl off. lol. maybe I will try TWRP one day.

for me, that's fine. I have no axe to grind.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Palmaaa:
Well i guess the best way to do backup and flash a custom recovery is with recovery (i believe what gkarthik16 was talking about is that combination of keys that will take me to that menu right? Correct me if im wrong please.) and one more thing! Custom recovery and custom ROM is not the same thing right? I know that a custom ROM is a modified ROM with more features then the stock. Could you please explain to me what are the benefits of a custom recovery?

Would appreciate if you correct what i wrote in ()'s and if you answered my question!

Thank you very much, everyone of you! Im understanding this a bit more!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Yes, the custom recovery is reached by the 3-button combo, when you are not using a custom ROM like Mik's CM7. Most of the custom ROMs will have a power menu option, which will open up by long pressing the power button. In the menu, you'll have an option to reboot into recovery. If you're using a stock ROM, then 3-button combo is the way to go to custom recovery.

Custom ROM is like the custom operating system of your phone, which has lots of customizations and features than a stock ROM.

Custom recovery is like a place "outside" the android OS. It is used so that you can wipe your phone, reinstall another ROM, take backup, etc. We need custom recovery becuase we cannot replace the ROM by being inside the ROM itself. It is like deleting a word document by keeping it open. You need a place outside the ROM to safely remove it and install another one. That is custom recovery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Palmaaa:
Woow thank you alot! i understand it now! Simple explanation but precise!

Many thanks! Ill search for a ROM and a Custom recovery to try this out! Hope i do well!

[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
luis2luis why you post this trash here?? no one wants the oldest amonra and certainly no one will thank you for posting this crap here.... btw, heres a link to a real recovery http://lg-p500.zrusit.eu/forum/viewforum.php?f=4

...and they still can stop working :D.... i cant imagine you when your menu key stops working or even worst, the volume keys... (let us hope that doesnt happen :rolleyes:) and try to flash anything in CWM, lmao :p , btw, better safe than sorry, just my 2¢
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Palmaaa:
Hey everyone! thank you alot for your help! you guys are being amazing! but today at work i tried to boot into recovery but it just did a factory data reset! i pressed volume_down+home+power! what am i doing wrong?

Appreciate all the answers! Thank you all!

Ps: i would also like to know what custom rom you guys think i should flash, i only hear people talking about CM7 so i think im going to go with that one! Custom recovery its going to be the one TakamineSubasa adviced me (TWRP-ThunderG-v1.0.3.13b [09/09/2011]) and what about the kernel? should i install a kernel too? or does it come with the custom rom or the custom recovery?

Also (you having more experience then i) could you advice me some Tuts to install a custom recovery and a Rom?

Sorry if im asking to much, but since this post is helping me so much i thought i would be better to take this chance and hopefully clarify all my doubts about all of this stuff!

Thank you for you understanding!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
Mmm that clearly shows that recovery is not installed... did you followed the steps in the guide in my previous post???

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1146566

Also make sure your phone is rooted correctly (in the apps you should have one called "SuperUsers")
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Palmaaa:
yes yes the phone is rooted correctly i have the superuser app! but wait! i have to install something to have access to recovery mode? i thought i only had to do the combination of keys and i would go to recovery mode!

Would also like you guys to read my previous post!

Thank you!

PS: the thread you gave me says i have to choose a custom recovery. but shouldnt i backup my original recovery in case something goes wrong? or i dont like the custom rom i flashed?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
I really dont remember if you can make backups with the build in recovery which is btw accessed with Home+Vol. UP + Power key combination.... try that... anyway if you follow carefully the guide i gave you you'll not have any problems...

And be sure to use the image from this recovery --> http://www.multiupload.com/9NEJW2ZYPA
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Palmaaa:
I cant use that combination of keys! it gets me stuck on

Fastboot mode started

udc_start()

And i have to remove my battery in order to be able to use the phone!

I better just do that recovery thingy you told me.

But what i should backup is my original ROM, before i flash the new one right?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TakamineSubasa:
Yes, after you install TWRP using the guide then backup your rom, that way you wont lose the guaranty of your phone :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Palmaaa:
ohhh! so i must have misread something! Probably wont do this today! (kinda late here and i have work tomorrow!) but when i do it ill post to say if it went ok or not!

Appreciate all the help everyone gave!

Thank you very much!

Just something to point out. I realize we all (myself included) are not always on topic, but lets stop the 10 SGS2/Hercules threads.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
i just thought this was the place to post it since the hercules is tmobil and the vibrant is tmobil and the people with a vibrant mostly will be getting a hercules and hercules doesnt have its own subsection yet...........................
[Vibrant General] Rayn1328:
Lol what he babbled
[Vibrant General] AllGamer:
true that

there are a lot more T-mobiles USA users here that would be interested on this phone more than on General or any other section ;)

as this is one of those long awaited upgrades from the ill fated vibrant :p
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I was not really directing it at you, your thread is talking about the processor and that was interesting to me. It's the multiple threads that popped up today with the announcement.

I am being annoying and a little out of line... I know those threads will go away soon, but I just didn't like the vibrant section cluttered with threads pertaining to another phones release date. That is odd to me.
[Vibrant General] ronin4740:
I agree with the comment above that the hercules is a lot of folks upgrade path and like seeing news about it in this sub forum... it's off topic but st the same time not snag also useful/interesting to me... saves me from having to google for news :-)
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Creating threads on a whim = bad idea. I acknowledge it.
[Vibrant General] quest4fire:
Based on popularity of the hercules on the vibrant section it is logical that some of them will be upgrading to the hercules galaxy s2 so the vibrant section is appropriate until the hercules gets its own forum when it is officially released.

There are a few roms i liked, but no sense ui and some roms i didnt like but they have sense ui.

I have some limited knowledge about cooking rom and i want to learn if its possible to add sense ui in my custom rom and how? Also i want to learn why rom developers dont add sense ui in their roms? Is it hard for them or else?

Thanks for your help and i really want sense ui on my HTC HD2.
[HTC EVO 3D] gokart2:
Have been reading up on rooting for about a week now, on multiple sites (mainly XDA though). I'm pretty sure I know the answer to most of these questions, but just need reassuring.

1. The only differences between Revolutionary and HTC root/unlock is that it will be known that my phone was rooted no matter what, and that the process to do so takes a bit more time/effort. Other then that, I can still do everything that the Revolutionary can do (yes, it's 1.5)

2. Can you load different ROMs from the device/sd card? I guess what I mean is besides the initial root, I can load different ROMs and kernels using only my phone? (I'm the only person in the world that doesn't have a PC, laugh it up).

3. Once rooted, I can keep the stock ROM/kernel/etc.., but will be able to do a lot more things and be able to download all those "root-required" apps I been drooling over?

4. I should be able to download CM7 even though I'm 1.5, allowing me to use a BT controller for my emulators?

These are just for reassurement, I have a million more questions, but will continue to read more. Also, I am truly amazed with this device coming from an iphone. And this website has been a lot of help. Sorry for the noob reassurement.
[HTC EVO 3D] Moonbloom:
1. The HTCUnlock Tool does give you root, and you can flash other ROMS. But it does not give you S-OFF, which is needed to flash custom kernels and do some other things. Revoluntionary gives you S-OFF, but sadly HBOOT 1.50 isn't supported yet.

2. Yes you can. You can download a program called BootManager i believe, from which you can set (for example) the stock android ROM as primary, and then download CyanogenMod 7 as secondary ROM, which you can then change to whenever you need/want to. (I do not personally use this app, but this is what i've heard/read it can do).

3. Yes. You can keep stock rom, kernel, etc etc, and still use root-required apps such as Titantium Backup, SetCPU, etc. (I've personally done this with my EVO 3D).

4. You did not say if your phone was CDMA or GSM. CyanogenMod 7 only supports the CDMA version atm, and its in an early state of beta, with some bugs. But if you are using CDMA EVO 3D, then yes, you can flash CyanogenMod 7 (even with your HBOOT 1.50). I can't comment on whether you can use BT controllers, since i do not know what it is, or what is required to use them.

- Moonbloom
[HTC EVO 3D] gokart2:
1. If I downloaded say....the CM7 rom, would the kernel they have listed come be downloaded with the rom? Or would I have the CM7 rom with my stock kernel?

4. I'm pretty sure I have CDMA, it's a north American Sprint phone
[HTC EVO 3D] Moonbloom:
1. Tricky question i'd say, since you technically can't flash kernels without S-OFF, then i'd have to say no. But seeing as there is a CDMA version of CyanogenMod 7 for the EVO 3D, and a quick search on XDA/CM7 forums shows people that have HBOOT 1.50 and CM7 installed, then i'll have to say it's possible, seeing as you can't flash CM7 without also flashing their kernel.

Guess you'll have to do some searching / asking in the EVO 3D CDMA forum here on XDA to clarify this. I have the GSM version, so i can't help you i'm afraid.

4. Yes, you do have a CDMA device. Sprint is CDMA-only.
[HTC EVO 3D] dastin1015:
Kernel flashing is a tricky one. You have to reboot to recovery using fastboot. I'll give a link when I get on a computer.

If no SIM card its CDMA

[Nook Color General] harryzee:
This is an "FYI" based on my NC "library" experience which now includes trying the new Kindle Library system.

I have tried the Kindle library process and found it to be of no real advantage in terms of both the steps involved and its reading interface. Remember that the books available are based solely on what your local library has licensed for digital distribution and not what Amazon has in total.

What I am now joyously using is the Overdrive Media Console app for Android on my NC with a rooted v 1.3.

I can now seamlessly access my library system's e-books, search it/them, and d/l my choice(s) all from the NC without having to use the "OMC" or Adobe Digital Editions on my desktop.

The "reading experience" is acceptable in terms of the tweaks I can make and is at least as good for general reading purposes as the Kindle interface.

The major downside is, especially in this depressed economic period, the limited e-book choices/selections in most library systems due to major budget decreases. However, it is still a viable option.

It is unfortunate that major libraries with more extensive and up-to-date e-book collections cannot be allowed to "sell" annual subscriptions to those outside of their licensing district.
[Nook Color General] bigbob23:
I tried Overdrive Media Console, but don't really like the display as compared to Aldiko. It does have the advantage of being able to download books directly but if I download the .acsm file to my computer and copy it to my SD card, selecting the file in Astro will cause it to be downloaded and imported into Aldiko, which is almost as easy (and avoids Adobe Digital Editions).

My library appears to have kindle versions of nearly all of the books which are available in epub format.
[Nook Color General] freonchill:
@ bigbob23

So you can use overdrive to download kindle library books read them on aldiko?

Or do you have to do it on a PC and download the acsm file to the nook?

I need to go to the library and get a library card, never got one when I moved

OK so extreme props to guys like joelz that are actually trying to port sense 3.5 to the evo 3d... but why is there so few attempts ? the evo 4g has it and its great ... yet the evo 3d doesnt, why does it seem like all the rom attention still goes out to the evo 4g when its more than obsolete
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
because most people think its retarded looking? and there is little interest in it for users.
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
T3project is there a way to port the widgets from the 3.5 to our 3.0 roms. I really like the mail mms market and music quick settings in the home screen of the 3.5 ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] temeyers:
retarded looking ?

its far from retarded looking the carousel runs smoother the widgets are much better and it runs great ...
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Few attempts are made because Sense 3.5 is hideous looking.

Two out of place buttons on your homescreen with a bar of widgets on the left? Absolutely atrocious. It doesn't even deserve the .5 increment in build strings, as it is no way any sort of improvement over Sense 3.0. The underlining framework may indeed deserve the increase, but the appearance sure as hell doesn't. It should have been called Sense 3.0 lite for women.
[HTC EVO 3D] platypuss94:
If you don't like it don't use it
[HTC EVO 3D] temeyers:
interesting viewpoint

sense 3.5 is awesome looking man ... the two buttons is smart its way better than 3.0s bar across the bottom eating up useless space for no good reason other than to look like your typical trash smartphone ... its more unique and as for the 4 bars on the left side ... thats a widget remove it easy enough on that one ... like he said if you dont like it dont use it ... but overall it is much smoother running ... and there are no good roms for the evo 3d ... they all apear as stock or stripped down to nothing neat at all ... Joelz rom for the bliss 3.5 port will be the **** because for once that developer is at least trying something unique instead of focusing on what every other developer is doing ... basically themed 2.3.4 roms
[HTC EVO 3D] temeyers:
freeza

in no way am i pointing fingers at the frevo rom but in my personal opinion i dont like it its stripped to nothingness ... it just makes it look like a samsung bas model phone ... now some people in fact alot of people love that so in no way am i judging because you have made alot of people happy with your hard work ... serious props for that ... but some people like change and some people like sense ... you seem to prefer removing all the spiffy **** in return for performance and thats understandable .. but it does show your taste in roms differs greatly and your opinion because a bit null and void in this topic because sense flat out isnt your cup of tea at all ... i do have friends who absolutly love your rom so i commend you for all the users you have made very happy you are by far a great dev, but like i said not your cup of tea here
