Hello!

I did some extensive search on this matter and didn't find any good results on this matter.

What i am asking is: what's the best ( and safe) way to return to the stock rom ? i want this because i need to take my phone to warranty :)

I'll try to post as much info as i can:

I am using Vodafone Romania

I had gingerbread 2.3 stock before installing custom RoM

I rooted the phone with SuperOneClick method

I installed CWM

I installed old baseband

My current RoM is mik_os CM7 v6.5.8

My current recovery is ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0

I'm quite a noob and i do alot of research before doing anything

The stupid thing i've done was that i lost my back-up :(

Any info links or advices on this subject are welcomed

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] gr8_gamer:
Ok had a Sidekick 4G rooted and custom rom installed and I sold it to a friend. Well they took it to a T-Mobile store and the guy factory reset it (for what reason idk) and she told me the phone would come back on.. I tried entering CWM recovery and was able to but the phone stays stuck on the boot screen everytime I try to reboot it and the only way to turn it off is to do a battery pull..

Can anyone help me fix this problem like asap please? Thanks for any and all help..
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bmtdan:
Flash a new rom?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] gr8_gamer:
I'll try that right now..

Tried and I get a voice saying something like "convert data partition, not enough space on partition"

And now I gotta wait to try something else cause the battery just died and she has the charger.. WTF lol
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HC13:
then u have to odin.. that happened to me and the only way i fixed it was by going back to stock and starting all over.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] gr8_gamer:
Can you tell me how I do that please? Rooting the Sidekick was my first time every doing anything like that..

Hi,

Please Somebody explain why my Rogers Dream Which has written DREA210 on the label under the battery cover with the correct IMEI has turned and is now showing DREA100 in the bootloader (Camera+Power)

Secondly i now have T-Mobile 1.6 with myfav.apk which i dont want cause it eats up all my credit sending messages.

Third problem, My Hardware Keyboard Layout is messed up too it type Y on Z key and Z on Y and a few more symbols

and Most Importantly its show correct colours on the Camera preview but after taking the snapshot, the pic turns greenish while it does not have any problem in the recorded video

Please Somebody Help

This all is really confusing

I have tried many ways like

Rooting with JesusFreke

using su keylayout method

replace camera apk and odex

nothing works

and even the G-Sensor akmd issue stays

and since now i have 1.6 t-mo

i cant even put akmd

Please im so confused and lost!
[G1 General] Inceptron:
*bump* I also have the same problem.

How would I go about rooting and flashing a new rom, I don't want to brick my phone again. :/
[G1 General] demkantor:
who did your jtag for you? sounds like you got a european version. qwertz instead of qwerty keyboard, would also explain drea1000

i doubt simply flashing a new rom would help, you can try changing your radio/spl
[G1 General] Inceptron:
Thanks for the reply.

I got it done through MobileTech Videos - http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/ - I tried contacting him, but he hasn't replied

My phone is a Rogers Dream - and on the back plate the model number is DREA210. When I go into fastboot, it says it's a DREA100 (A T-Mobile G1?).

The radio is 1.22.12.29, and hboot is 0.95.0000. It does however, correctly tell me that I have a 32B board on the phone, as it previously did when the phone was functioning.

The Rom flashed onto the phone is a T-Mobile G1 Rom - or atleast the carrier boot screen says it is a T-Mobile G1, and the person who jtag'ed it said it was a T-Mobile rom - I haven't been able to look at the Rom info (android version, etc) as I don't have my data plan activated to get past the google sign in..

Edit:

Just to clarify: I have a rogers dream (DREA210), and the jtag flash was done with a copy of a T-Mobile G1 (DREA100) - so fastboot was showing DREA100. So basically I treated it like a stock t-mobile G1 since it has the same Radio/hboot, and not the Rogers stock Radio/hboot, and the hardware is pretty much the same (AFAIK)...

I used these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098899

and it worked fine. The ROM I had was the stock version RC29 (Android 1.0) - So I just skipped the downgrade step. (and used fastboot to flash the 2708+ radio)
[G1 Android Development] Infinimint:
Why did G1 get moved to Legacy & Low Activity?

I understand the legacy part, but the low activity part, that makes no sense!

It says legacy AND low activity, not OR.

I don't know about you guys, but this is an active forum and I think we should petition this move so that we can keep the first (decent) Android device alive. For God's sake, we have Gingerbread running great, how many other phones have that? Not as many as you'd expect.
[G1 Android Development] robuser007:
+1 It's still a great device and the first and only one for a while with a keyboard.
[G1 Android Development] 754boy:
Yeah, they really need to change that AND to OR lol.
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
I agree we have so many roms of different variety whereas other phones have hardly any variety, even less devs and less visitors yet they are meant to be better wtf
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
It's low activity, ... very low activity compared to the situation about one year ago. Many competent devs left this forum, there is almost no *real* development any longer. I don't like, that the forum was moved, but they've put it into the correct category.
[G1 Android Development] dhkr234:
OP: You're reading it wrong.

Its not "(legacy AND low activity) devices", its "legacy devices AND low activity devices".
[G1 Android Development] Rushness:
I also think that this is so bad. I mean we are developing so much stuff and then they just put it into this section.
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
You may day that andisa however there are devices not classed here. They may be slightly higher power however there is even less development being done.
[G1 Android Development] werfewr:
Proč ? proč? proč to udělali? ...G1 je přece jako legenda! tak proč to teda udělali?

It´s bad... G1 is best .. why they move it...why? .... i am so sad.. :(:confused:

Sorry for my English, I am from Czech Republic :cool:
[G1 Android Development] m4xm4n:
It makes complete sense why they moved it and frankly, I support the move. The G1 is 3 years old. Most of the ROMs being posted are just rehashes of earlier ROMs with some new stuff (no offense to those of you working hard to produce those ROMs). There's just not a whole lot going on.

I understand the desire to keep the forum on the mainstream part of XDA, though. Like many of you, it's my only phone and I liked the convenience of being able to scroll down to Dream when I wanted to grab a new ROM. Let's face it though, no one is choosing to use a G1/Dream over a G2x or something. Most of us are still here because we don't have the money to buy a new phone that will put us out of a few hundred dollars.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
For quite a while, this phone was the "ultimate" keyboard phone. That position was taken by the HTC VISION (up until yesterday), and then by the HTC DOUBLESHOT (last evening when the first AOSP build landed). The Doubleshot is basically an enhanced version of the Vision with more RAM, double core CPU, better GPU, front facing camera.... The Vision was the "official successor" to the Dream. I.e., Vision isn't about "sight", but rather like an imagining -- a "kind of" dream.

Most of the hardcore devs moved from the Dream to the Vision. Myself included. I still tinker with the Dream from time to time, but I'm running Vision as my primary.

SOLVED: not possible with Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4. The only way is to use Titanium Backup, and better than that, Nandroid Backup. You can as well extract data from a Nandroid backup with Titanium Backup.

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

I have a Nexus S and I wonder if, with the option Settings -> Accounts and sync -> Background data & Auto-sync & Manage accounts (sync is on) the settings and savegames are automatically stored "on the cloud", let it be my Google account or similar, because I don't have a rooted phone and don't want to do that to preserve warranty.

So, the apps for wich I want to save data are:

Air Penguin

Angry Birds

Angry Birds Rio

Angry Birds Seasons

ArmySniper

Clouds & Sheep

Dolphin Browser HD

eBay

EGGGZ

Flight Director

Jewellust

Jewellust Xmas

Labyrinth

MultiGrain

X Construct

Nope. But some of the game data are saved in SD like x construction.

Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA Premium
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scandiun:
Yep, but the SD is internal in Nexus S, so formatting the phone leads to data deletion.

Seriously, didn't Google think of this big issue when developing Android? At least the iPhone has a real complete backup...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tubes6al4v:
You can use Dropsync to backup save games to dropbox. Most games should use "SD card" for save game storage(does not need to physically be an sd, just mounted as one, as in the nexus devices).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
Nexus s has separate storage. Rom and SD is separated!

Hey guys,

After almost three hours of googling and frustration, I cannot find an answer to my question.

I have a Galaxy S 4G, rooted using Superoneclick (confirmed by having wireless tether and superuser)

I installed Rom Manager, got the clockworkflash version for my phone, and started a reboot into recovery mode.

...

when I got to recovery mode, I see a little android and a exclamation mark. There was an error with installation saying something like "signature not verified"

All I want to do is replace the dialer graphics for my phone.

And that requires some flashing.

I tried an alternate method where I used Root Explorer, trying to replace the old dialer file with a new one. However, I am unable to modify the permissions in the system folder. Whenever I change the permission, it reverts back to the regular settings. I cannot rewrite any file in the system folder.

So how do I get recovery mode to work on my phone,

and how do I modify system file permissions to make them re-writable?

Ii just traded my epic touch and got this phone plus 2 otterbox's and 100 bucks and hdmi cable. Problem is on a bright white screen I can see these black almost invisible shadows near the middle of the screen that won't go away or change shape. Anyone know what this is?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Doballa:
I believe its The back lights, they are on both of my photons but only can see them when the sun is shining on the screen
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nickdroid86:
This is pretty much all the time that I can see them, I have to look for them, but not too hard. It's like a shadow shade type look.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Doballa:
Mine looks like a checkerboard across the whole screen
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nickdroid86:
thats the pentile display lol. mine is shaped random, like an amoeba
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Does it change at all when you adjust the screen brightness.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nickdroid86:
it looks pretty much the same. doesnt change shape.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Are you within the exchange period?
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbhausen:
"amoeba" LOL... reminds me of that live wallpaper that was going around with the microscope image of sperm swimming around on the screen.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nickdroid86:
I bought the phone off of a person, so I doubt it. Lol yeah amoeba.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I fixed the screen issue,

Hold further from face
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nickdroid86:
Now I can't see you!
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] cutter2668:
I had a problem

My first photon had a light patch a splotchy patch on the left side of the phone, I returned it and got a new one, no light splotchy patch any more.

The pentile screens are great, crisp, sharp, real colors, great for viewing outdoors and use less power.

If you set your photons 4g display to AUTO BRIGTHNESS, you will not see any screen door effect, if you use the phone on mid to higher brightness you will, Auto brightness is truly the best setting for these displays.

No issues with my second unit, others comment on how good the screen looks, one of them has an i phone.

On most phones auto brightness is not your friend, on the photon it is definitely the setting to use.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Not to be off topic, but my screen doesn't look like a checkerboard when its Otterbox Defender.
[HTC Desire S] hovie:
Hello,

first of all, sorry for being a noob, I hope this question wasn't asked anywhere else (I checked but couldn't find anything about it)

I bought the DS about 4 Months ago and really, I love it. Still, I would like to tweak it a little bit and give MIUI a try! BUT I'm reaaaally afraid of screwing my phone up! (I had a HTC Magic which I rooted and flashed several times but here it seems to be a totally different operation).

Here are my questions:

1) Is MIUI installable on UPDATED (Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5) HTC Desire S with OFFICIAL HTC OTA update yet?

2) Is it possible to backup my files and fallback to my old settings easily?

3) Is the battery life convincing on MIUI? (I feel great with 2 days of middle-intensity use.)

4) Could someone guide me through every different steps? There are so much links everywhere I dunno where to look and I'm afraid to miss important things etc. etc. This would really be so much appreciated and after that I could do a toppic (if needed) with every information concentrated for noobs like me ;-)

Thanks in advance!

Thomas

PS: sorry for my english!
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
1.MIUI is completely different rom and u can install whatever Sense rom u have.

2.yes.Use nandroid backup or Titanium backup for apps

3.battery life is good on miui.

4.for this one u need to use search.i'll just give u this link to start http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
[HTC Desire S] hovie:
Thanks a lot for that fast answer, iI'll take a look at that and come back if there are things I'm hesitating about!

Little question: I know it's a different rom, I meant, is it possible to S-Off and root Updated HTC Desire S and then Flahs MIUI yet? Considering it's been updated the official way ^^

EDIT:

Okay so, if I get it right: I need

1) to S-Off (if my updated device doesn't fit the conditions it should be refused on revolutionary website)

2) to ROOT (Gingerbreak or Superoneclick APKs)

3) Do I need to install a custom recovery? for example ClockWorkMod? (it's written in OUTDATED on the tutorial, is it a problem?)

4) Then I should be able to flash MIUI

Right?

Thanks a lot
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yep, you've got it ;)
[HTC Desire S] hovie:
Thanks a lot!

I'd like to try rooting and flashing today but on Revolutionary page they say we need HTC Drivers for fastboot: they provide a download link which is dead, do you know where I can find them? To be sure not to download the wrong files?

EDIT: Files are back on, sorry!
[HTC Desire S] hovie:
Updated HTC Desire S is HBOOT 2.00.0002 which isn't supported by revolutionnary :-( can't root for now...
[HTC Desire S] sp1d3rnl:
Then you need to downgrade first.
[HTC Desire S] hovie:
Oh I think i'm starting to get it :D hehe

Is downgrading a simple operation or is it difficult? Shouldn't I wait for revolutionary to support my HBOOT? Will it take long? :P Sorry for being a noob but I really wanna do things well.

Thanks a lot for your answers!
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
its simple but please search and read all instructions.it takes 10 sec :D
[HTC Desire S] hovie:
Roger that !

Thanks a lot for your help !
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I'm pretty sure that htcdev.com will be able to s-off your device. It's not listed in the official devices, but many people reported its working. It seems much easier, as you won't need to downgrade.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Its your call. Some people take it in to get replaced as a hardware issue, or some replace the screens themselves, and some just live with it.

Can it lead to any problems if I leave it how it is?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
No not really, just more dust. And since there is a gap somewhere on your screen, if you were to drop it 'just right' you'd be more susceptible to a crack in your screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmstwo002:
I had the same thing, pointed it out to the Sprint store rep and he replaced the entire screen at no cost in about 10 minutes. He told me there is an issue with some screens getting dust under the top left corner (factory defect). Haven't seen any dust since the free screen replacement. I'd run it by your local corporate Sprint store.

Anyone having errors with v6 supercharger such as bootloops? should go grab the new version posted today. I'm about to try it out now myself. :D

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021

I hate to sound like robert stack all the time but... Update!: New script works perfect no bootloops anymore and some of the old options are gone such as the integration option. Its fairly automatic after running option 9 and you now can let the script wipe your caches without any problems! Nice! Thanks zeppelinrox!!
[Atrix 4G General] zeppelinrox:
heh.. you're welcome!

I felt bad about all the supercharger posts in the CM7 thread so it's better to keep it separate :)

Feel free to try The Die-Hard Battery Calibrator test 2... it's attatched to the same post.

If it doesn't read your voltage or status (plugged in or not) or battery percentage, run these 2 commands in terminal and copy all and paste it here

without formatting anything

:

ls /sys/class/power_supply/battery
cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/*

First command will list the battery folder's contents (file names)

Second command will show the contents of those files
[Atrix 4G General] andyt315:
sorry for noob questions.

What does the Die-Hard battery calibrator test 2 do?
[Atrix 4G General] zeppelinrox:
Helps calibrate the battery so that you can be sure that mV match up with % level and that it's charging properly.

Sometimes when charging it will say 100% when it really isn't.

If you never flash a new rom you only need to do it once but if flashing different roms, its a good idea to calibrate the battery after each flash.
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
So I should wait till I'm at 4200mv / 100%, until I actually run the battery calibrator script?
[Atrix 4G General] Gutterball:
So this basically does the same thing as the battery callibration app from the market or is this other way more accurate or informative?
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
I'll give it a go... script says it needs to be at 4200mv (100%) before running calibration. You can override it and run the script if you want, but it makes sense to calibrate at 100%. I'll report back once I try... only at about 70% now.
[Atrix 4G General] Gutterball:
Then this script seems exactly the same as the battery callibration app from the market which is also free by the way and completely trouble free cause I use that after every new flash. :D
[Atrix 4G General] zeppelinrox:
Ya I couldn't believe somebody made an app to just do a simple rm command.

At first mv wasn't even used so I had posted on the first page of it's xda thread about it.

I did like the idea to prevent calibration until the battery met certain conditions tho :p
[Atrix 4G General] Rickroller:

[Atrix 4G General] andyt315:
how do you know if the v6 script is running?
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
as long as you enabled the correct file (can't remember the name right now) to run as root & on boot, it should be running. Upon boot, after launcher loads, you should see a message pop up saying Script Manager has been granted super user permission.
