[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ashokmkd:
Hi, I recently rooted my sk17i using the unsecure kernel and superoneclick. Then I accidentally uninstalled one system application that was necessary in the phone. So I decided to do a factory reset in the phone.

After the reset, phone was still rooted, everything was normal and fresh. But then I noticed that the Home button is not working.(can't minimize tasks) :-(

All other buttons are working normally. Another difference I found was, when i long press the power button, Only the 'power off' option is displayed. Earlier there were silent mode and flight mode.

Then i tried connecting usb to my laptop. Earlier, everything was working fine. Now memory card is not connected in MSC mode. And I can't use usb tethering.

Another problem I found was, when I short press the power button, as usually display turns off. But when I press it again, screen comes instantly without showing the unlock slider. I can't use any screen lock security because the screen is not getting locked.

Everything was perfect even after rooting. I can't understand what will possibly go wrong after a factory reset.

Please help. Thanks in advance..

Hey,

I'm no expert so apologies if this is no help.

Have you tried to get the phone into fastboot mode again to re-flash the ROM?

I should imagine this would restore all the .apk you have removed including the essential app that has caused your problem.

Hope this is of help,

Joe
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nimbold:
Me too think you should do a flash. it would fix it i think
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ashokmkd:
Thanks for ur response. Now after all the experiments I conducted on my phone, I realize what a foolish question that was. :-) . what I realize now is :

A factory reset will only wipe the /data partition. if any file is deleted from the /system partition, it is gone for ever. so, flashing the ROM is the only solution.

[HTC Incredible S] mandeep294:
can i restore a nandroid backup if i flash some other rom??

app data will also be restored i.e games levels etc..??
[HTC Incredible S] jkolner:
Nandroide is a image/snapshot that is stored on your SD card, that you always can flash back to later, after you e.g. have flashed another ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] mandeep294:
this means i will be back on older rom..for backing data of apps use titanium backup??
[HTC Incredible S] creativedevil:
There are 2 types of backups.

Nandroid is created using CWM recovery, which is an image file of everything you have got on ur phone. This backup is useful if u flashed another rom and for some reason you want to go back to original/stock rom. This is like recovery disc for ur windows computer, used for to go back to factory settings. Dont ever flash something else on ur phone without creating a nandroid backup. This is also useful in case of warranty repairs.

Second is app and data backup through titanium or such applications. This is more used if you want to backup all the apps u have installed on ur phone, so that for example, i have 200 + apps installed, i flash 3 different roms in 1 week, i dont want to spend time keep installing those apps again and again each time i flash a different rom, i will use titanium to backup all those apps n just restore those apps once i flash a new rom.

Hope this clears any doubts.

Cheers!!!

[HTC Incredible S] creativedevil:
What do you mean by "before losing data"? Did you do nandroid? If so, you still have everything on you.
[HTC Incredible S] mandeep294:
no didn't for my first flash
[HTC Incredible S] creativedevil:
Oh oh... Thats not a good news.

Well, just in case, take a look at this thread... it has got a collection of Factory shipped ROMs, may be your version of IS is one of them and so if you want to go Stock, you can probably get back to Stock without not much of hassle.

And also, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1287111

Take a look at this link also, it has got a plenty of information about pretty much everything and also as per OP, its been updated weekly.

Besides, I don't think there are much complications if you don't have Nandroid. Nandroid is basically a tool to go back to stock mostly in case of warranty repairs, but if your phone is not crapping out on you, as long as it works, you don't probably need Stock.

Hope you will not run into too many troubles.

Good Luck

[HTC Incredible S] mandeep294:
already downloaded d stock one.actually quite easy to get back to stock..

one more q after i restored from nandroid, do i still need to resore apps from titanium??

and do i need to backup apps on sd card as card remains untouched during flash?
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
After restore from nandroid, you do not need to restore apps from titanium.

It will keep a snapshot of your current rom, hence include your apps. It didn't include radio though, it is separate entity.

Your backup through titanium is save in sd card though.
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
I think this answers my question: I backed up my stock ROM before I S-OFF and rooted so, if I needed to go back to stock ROM for say warrenty issues, I should just be able to restore this backup, rather than have to download and flash a stock RUU? This will put me back to S-ON and unrooted? If so, pretty glad I did that :)
[HTC Incredible S] creativedevil:
No, if u restore it from nandroid, you dont have to restore any app data. Thats the benefit of nandroid. Its got everything as is including the background, the way you had it set up.

Cheers!!!

Sent from xda premium
[HTC Incredible S] creativedevil:
Wait, how did u manage a backup before s-off?

The steps are,

Get s-off

Get root access

Install clockworkmod or any other recovery program

Boot into recovery

Backup ur current rom - aka nandroid

Enjoy flashing - for some reason if flashing goes bad, you will be safe and can restore and bring back ur phone to life with nandroid

To get back s-on for warranty repair, nandroid wont help. There are a couple of threads which explains how to do so. Check the links i have posted in one of my previous comments.

Good luck.

Cheers!!!

[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
Bloody good point! Getting way too confused with alot of this...need to take a break :) Don't need to go back to S-ON anyways, but have read around that some people are having problems showing S-ON once they have flashed back to stock RUU.

Thanks for putting me straight
[HTC Incredible S] fallenwout:
Where is the thanks-button?

Just to clarify it more in a question.

Nandroid takes an image of your active OS with all the programs/settings/phonebook/calendar/facebookcontactlinks saved into it. So if you restore that image, your phone is back like nothing happened with all your hours of settings and apps included at point of image taking? Not even a factory reset?
[HTC Incredible S] creativedevil:
Thanks button is right below my post. Lol.

Anyways, answer to your question is, yes, it does back up everything as you have set on your phone.

It includes things like your wallpaper, your wireless passwords, your images and settings in camera, your games and game progress data, your contacts, your messages, even your emails, your notes... anything and everything you can think of, which is done by you on your phone, nandroid will create an image of everything as of the moment you create a backup.

For example, if you created a backup on 1st, then your flashed another rom, you didn't like the custom rom you flashed, so now you want to go back to the factory rom, you restore your phone from nandroid on the 10th, once the restoration is finished, you will be same as it is as you were on the 1st when you created a backup.

Hope this clears out any of the doubts.

Nandroid Backup is really powerful.

Good Luck.

Cheers!!!

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

Thing is, you will never need to go back to S-On until and unless your phone is legitimately broken and you have warranty and needed it fixed.

If everything is running smooth without any hiccups, you are better off with S-Off forever as long as you use your phone.

But, because you are now S-Off, first thing you want to do is to have a nandroid, which is your savior at the end.

So, my 2 cents worth suggestion would be, get S-Off, get root access, install CWM, boot into CWM and create a nandroid. Mount your SD Card, go to /ClockworkMod folder and copy that backup file from your SD Card to somewhere safe, probably on your computer. Once you did this much, do whatever you want to do with your phone. You can flash any ROM you want... Play with it... etc...

Good Luck

Cheers!!!
[HTC Incredible S] mandeep294:
going back to stock dosent do s-on back
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
Yup, had all this for a while now, just had that original question about restoring a backup and thinking it would put me back to S-ON, not that I need to or have any intentions to do so.
[HTC Incredible S] creativedevil:
You got it mate, no it doesn't bring S-ON back. Its a different procedure all together.

Read my other posts in this forum and you will know what I mean.

Thank
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ccrows:
Look in the dev section for custom roms. The 2 popular ones to start with would probably be Darky or Docs. There's install instructions inside of those threads...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtluis:
Docs Rom is not longer "Docs Rom", not it's called Rom kitchen, haven't tried the latest versions, but last time I used was very stable and reliable.

You can also try Ramad's deodexed stock roms.

You will need Odin, cf-root if you haven't rooted, and the files for the custom rom you want, most custom roms are flashed through CWM, which you get once you are rooted.

Hello.

Well, i have read NOW WORKING - Alpharevx + Clockwork + CM7 + Radio/GPS Fix.

Did that - nothing happen.

I have:

HTC Wildfire

Android Verison: 2.3.7

Mod version: CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1-buzz

Radio Version: 3.35.20.10

I have tried all - but GPS icon doesn't appear, try GPS Essenstials (all the time just: no fix, network location disabled).

Nothing happens in Google maps or iGO.

Help needed!!!

Thanks in advance for all the help!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
Take a nandroid backup of your cm7, then flash a sense rom which has gps working download google maps turn on gps and let it get a fix. Don't touch any settings after this..

Leave it for a few minutes and then restore your nandroid backup.

I haven't personally tested this way myself so don't know if it'll work but have read of others doing it this way with success.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bricksrheavy:
Confirmed. It worked for me + this is the safest way to fix it, no messing with the radios, terminal emulator etc.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vBBv:

Any other ideas? =)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Are you sure you are using Clockworkmod 2.x to flash that? Also try a redownload. If it didn't flash, it can't erase anything on your phone (Unless you did a Wipe data / Factory Reset, THAT will erase contacts / messages. Not a failed ROM flash)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vBBv:
Well i have Rom Manager v4.5.0.1 (Flash clockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0)

Well i can find in All clockworkmod Recoveries versions like:

* 3.0.0.6

* 2.5.1.4

* 2.5.1.3

etc

* 5.0.0.8

* 5.0.1.0

Thats all =)

Guide me please =)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Anything starting with 2.x will work. Here's another way:

- Download this attachment (update1.zip) and place on your SDCard

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218

- Then reboot in Clockworkmod Recovery (5.0.2.0) or any version you are having at the moment

- Choose Install Zip from SDCard, then, Choose Zip from SDCard, then select the update1.zip file, it will flash it (Just like a ROM flash)

- It will reboot your phone and will give you temporary Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 (Green Text)

- Here, now select 'Wipe Data / Factory Reset', and again select 'Install Zip from SDCard' > 'Choose Zip', and select the Froyo ROM Zip file. It should install now.

BTW, Try reflashing the radio before doing this. I doubt you reflashed the Radio if you are not aware of this. Radio's also need Clockworkmod 2.x. If reflashing the radio doesn't work, then you can follow what I wrote above.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vBBv:
Well i have downloaded from wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Wildfire:_Support_Downloads last version .31 and install it so i think a have latest one.

But ok - i will try later also your way and we will see.

What will it happen if i will try to downgrade radio to 3.35.19.25? Will be the same or it will damage something?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
No, there shouldn't be any issues downgrading a radio.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vBBv:
@3xeno - ok, now i have Froyo ROM running. OK, GPS works. =)

Now, how can i go back to CyanogenMod? Or can't go back? Because I do like CyanogenMod but i hate that GPS doesn't work.

Thanks for all your help.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Keep GPS running after it gets a fix, and upgrade to Cyanogenmod again, as you had done previously (Don't turn off GPS/change any settings). This time, GPS should work on Cyanogenmod. Refer the 2nd post in this thread.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doofos:
hm... strange.. - had the same issue after reinstalling CM. reflashing new radio (actually the same 3.35.20.10 from the CM official page like is in installation package) helped and everything works now. So, I repeat, - install CM7, and after that download latest radio from the CM webpage and flash it like 3xeno wrote in the beginning. Restart and whuollah..:)) -works in my case... No need to install Froyo, stock HTC and blablabla:)

:) - take my congratulations. And, may be it'll help somebody else, (it is not a new thing - like read the FAQ, but anyway) - don't forget to perform those things before flashing new CM :

- wipe data/factory

- wipe cache partition

- mounts and storage -> format system -especially(realized it on my experience, -in that case GPS started work from-the-box:)

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
You can't flash radios on anything that's 3.0+

You can use the .zip I attached in the attachment to gain a "temporary" 2.5 recovery, that goes away once you reboot.

[Android General] Intratech:
Very candid review. If there was bias he kept it well hidden and he did say that he's been using an international SGS2 for the last 6 months. He sang the SGS2 praises a lot. From the video I detected that he expected the ifon 4S to be better than a 6 months old SGS2 but was surprised at how close the devices were in terms of performance and features.

^That made me chuckle. The dude isn't a lacking when it comes to common sense. Well done to him for calling apple on this.
[Android General] TheSaw:
The drop test is also nice ;)
[Android General] Vaim:
Having tried voice commands on my SGS2 and having seen what Siri does, i'll call complete bull**** on this.

Vlingo and the sgs2's own voice command app are complete junk. They can mostly decipher what i'm saying but all they do is a google search on EVERYTHING. Tt's unreal.

I tell it to play music, it googles "play music". Come on.

Review seems pretty damn biased. I'm not sure what "speed tests" he ran, but everything that's out so far, the 4S wipes the floor with SGS2 and every other android device. This will probably change with ICS.

Another reviewer that has a hard-on for the megahurtz.

The only thing the iPhone 4S is missing is a -slightly- larger screen. 4" would be perfect. Galaxy S2 is a bit too big for me personally - i have to rotate and manage the phone in my hand to be able to reach everything.

Funny story - everyone seems to think changing roms on android devices to gain precious stability and speed is a given (this assumes rooting), yet jailbreak options are never in anyone's feature list.
[Android General] Intratech:
Maybe you're using voice search and not voice commands or maybe it doesn't care for your accent. I use it to send text messages, make call and set my GPS route when I'm driving all the time and it works without any problems. Sorry that you're a bit hurt or whatever.. it how you come across with that post.

Okay, i'm a fanboy without even owning the device. All the while fanboying against the device i do own. Ok.

Sure made sense there.

These tests show pretty much nothing.

First the netflix. The iphone didn't even open a video once, for all we know it was on a completely different network or something was broken and it wasn't gonna load at all.

The brower tests. Stating one thing is smoother than the other, based on how far they scroll with a single swipe? Really?

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4951/...rks-800mhz-a5-slightly-slower-gpu-than-ipad-2

Now, about the voice control.

English is not my native language so i never need english to text someone.

What i would like from voice control is to control the device and have practical use. Something that didn't happen once, in my testing.

I'm not saying i would absolutely want to use it - i dont. I'm just saying that the statement is absurd and android voice control is like comparing apple seeds with apples.

Why am i posting this here, the SGS2 forums, however? I don't know, i found the thread and found the review crazy-biased.

Can't blame any of you, obviously. After all, this is the SGS2 forums and it's pretty much a requirement to be biased towards your own device.

I love my SGS2, but i'm also not wearing fandroid goggles and can look at things objectively.

Can't wait for ICS.
