[Motorola Droid RAZR] raclimja:
how can i tell if my phone is CDMA or GSM?

my droid razr has verizon logo on the front but requires a sim card :confused:

it is XT912 according to system version and according to baseband version it is CDMA

the thing that puzzles me is the sim card thing.

also, is it possible to pop in a GSM sim card into my phone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Yours is the CDMA RAZR, the SIM slot is for LTE.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] a.t.yusuf:
LTE

The sime slot is for LTE meaning that it is not a GSM phone and cant be used in a GSM network?

sorry im a complete noob.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danial.aw:
Yes that's correct Verizon razr doesn't have GSM banding

I extracted all my files from my data.img backup and made it into a .zip. Is there anyway

i can cwm flash that data.zip to get all my data back? I tried just flashing the zip and it says,

"(bad) Installation Aborted."

Any help would be greatly appreciated :D:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
Here's a few things you could do assuming that what you want is even in this zip file.

1) Get a working cwm format zip file and take a close look at it because you need to use it as a template if this is going to work. In particular, check out updater-script in META-INF\com\google\android\*. Updater-script is what directs the restore operation so it needs to match what you want to do. You can get the idea by looking at one that restores say, some data or system files, like a kernel will always restore some /system/lib/module files.

2) Since you've got some sort of zip file, make sure it matches the general format of a working cwm zip file and then just make sure step 1) is right.

3) I don't know if this is still a search for .android_secure folder on /sdcard, but if it is you're probably not going to get there from here, because the tf101 generallyl doesn't have that file since there's no need for tf101 -> sdcard app storage. For example, mine never had that folder either on internal or external storage.

4) Kernels aren't in the data or system archives from cwm, so that is possibly some sort of show-stopper too. I'm working on the cwm source today a bit to try to create a boot.img (or in the newer cwm lingo, boot.*.tar) archive. That archive will use blob and boot tools to be able (via the direction in updater-script) burn the blob onto block m*4.

I hope that helps.

Oh yeah, another thing you can try: If you wanted just the 'apps' from the cwm archive, you shouldn't even need the zip file. All you need to do is run Titanium Backup (assuming you've got it or can get it), and use the new feature in options called restore from cwm backup (or something like that). I've used it and it works fine on 3.x and 5.x cwm backups.

-- good luck
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafo5000:
OK Ill see if the titanium backup way works. I'll report back to you if it works. Also if I do get all my apps back is there a way to get the app data?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
Hi - If Titanium is bringing up the selections screen then the usual choices for each app are data/app/data+app, so yes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafo5000:
The titanium back option is called "extract from Android backup" I can't do

It right now because I don't have my tf with me. But I don't think it will work because

The Android backup I made was currupted. I would get the .android_secure error

And couldn't restore. So if titanium takes the data.img from my Android I'm thinking

It won't work but if I can give it the zip it probably will. I won't be home for a couple

Hours.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafo5000:
thank you so much i got all my stuff back using titanium backup!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HyperEscape:
Hello,

I am sure there are numerous applications for GPS tracking and remote controlling/wiping all the data and settings pattern/numeric access codes for your mobiles.

Problem is that executing these safety measures are somehow dependent on certain other factors and can have successful or unsuccessful consequences.

I am thinking of anything more basic and hassle free way of ensuring that even in worst condition I can have certain peace of mind that my critical gmail account data would not be accessed for unauthorized use. For example when it was unlocked for use and meanwhile it was lost or snatched how can I be sure that my google account information specifically gmail/maps are safe. I know I can change the password by reaching to a nearby PC, but that is not always a possibility.

I have got my Samsung Galaxy S2 for more than a month and just figuring out a safe way before putting it in active use.

An idea which I am thinking of is to have another Gmail account specifically for use with Android Phone, and import/export the actual "Contacts" only to this new email account. Since contacts are the most frequently used item, they would be in sync with the new email account, any delta changes would have to be replicated to your original gmail account as well.

I dont use Picasa, so it is of no importance to me to sync the pictures with picasa account.

For access to my actual gmail and other emails (like work email) I can use an add on email android applications like K9-Mail to configure the gmail as IMAP. To get access to this email program I can install any application which can password protect the access to applications and can reactivate the password after any time of inactivity. I dont know whether in such case would I get popup in the notification bar for new emails or not.

The only two most used applications now left are

- Maps and Latitude

- Google Plus

Now both of them need to be used with my actual gmail account, since all contacts and connection are related to my actual identity on google.

So i need to know that is it possible to use one gmail (fake/secondary) account on android phone just for syncing contacts and use another actual (primary/original) account for logging in the official google maps and google plus applications. I know even in this case the password needs to be changed in case of a mishap, however I can be a bit satisfied that all critical data in the email storage is safe.

I just need your opinions and suggestion on the mentioned procedure, or is there any other good and recommended practice for getting multiple accounts configured on Android Phone and selectively use the google accounts for different applications.

Thanks for your inputs.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] s8tan:
Hello. I have some problem with my Galaxy Ace (FROYO 2.2.1). I tried to install ClockWorkMod but i think i did somthing wrong (i think i followed the steps for GINGERBREAD). My phone works fine but when i try to access recovery mode (POWER+HOME) it freezes at SAMSUNG mode. Is it a way to restore to previous recovery mode? If i reset to factory from setting, will it restore? Wat is the best way to have ClockWorkMod installed, because i tried to find on forum but every post doesn't give all steps, but just ACRONIMS that i don't understand. Please help me. :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
that because u flash clockworkmod recovery for gingerbread on froyo.

u need to flash stock gingerbread rom via odin and u'll get stock recovery back.

after that u can continue to flash clockworkmod recovery for gingerbread like u did earlier on froyo and u'll have fully working clockworkmod recovery.

no acronims typed :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] s8tan:
I conseder myself a smart guy (regular smart). I jailbreaked my iphone and Ipad. I HARD SPLed my HTC diamond and HD2 and installed a lot of cooked roms. BUT i find quite dificult to understand how to do what you told me up: how do I know what GINGERBREAD ROM is best for my ACE? How do i use ODIN (where i get the TAR and OPS?) I am not lazy. I know how to use the forum and search button. But for 2 days i'm reading and i don't understand...(a lot of acronims and not many follow-up steps). Thks a lot...if you can help me :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
for me myself, best gingerbread rom is cm7.2. it still unofficial, still contains bugs, and battery drain is noticeable compared to stock rom. but its suites me well.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1380800

for custom rom based on stock, gingerreal 2.0 seems pretty good.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1228436

eitherway, because u still on froyo u need to flash stock samsung's gingerbread via odin first, then flash clockworkmod recovery.

read this howto use odin to flash stock gingerbread rom, but first do backup all your data.

http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/09/odin-guide-how-to-updateupgrade-samsung.html

then u can continue to flash clockworkmod recovery.

download the ClockWorkModAce.zip file, put in sdcard, turn off phone, reboot into stock recovery (home+power button) and flash it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1168417

now that u have stock gingerbread with clockworkmod recovery, u can flash any custom rom based on stock like gingerreal, or cm7.1 or cm7.2.

read instruction howto flash those rom on first page of those rom respective thread.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] s8tan:
Thks for the reply. you helped me a lot. But i managed to recover the recovery :))) by ODIN and a TAR custom made for fix. And a managed to install CWM. But i will start to put GINGERBREAD. I can put the ROM from your link? Isn't custom for everyphone to have different ROM? I mean my phone has PDA: S5830XWKAA PHONE: S5830XXKA6 and CSC: S5830OXXKA7. What all these number means? Do i have to check them when choosing a ROM? Thank you!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
so now u still on froyo right?

u need to flash stock samsung's gingerbread first. all of those custom rom need stock gingerbread rom as base, cannot directly flash them onto froyo.

read my previous post, the link to flash samsung's stock gingerbread using odin.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] s8tan:
I've read. I upgraded to gingerbread :) you helped me a lot :) Anytime you come in ROMANIA i buy you a beer :)))

Ok, just to be sure. This is on the first line milkman and thanks for being ironic. As I wrote, some of us are new to android, and tried to study, but we need some things to be clear to us. "Ok, after messing around with 3.2 I decided to fix the rooting issues without downgrading"

I am on 3.2.1. So I need to downgrade it to 3.2?

Why wouldnt I downgrade to 3.0? Isnt rooting easier? What problems could I face?
[Acer Iconia A500] mtmerrick:
Yes, you do downgrade to 3.0

Its extremely unstable everything force closes, so obtain root, flash cwm and get OFF stock rooted 3.0 quickly as you can :P

Stock rooted 3.2.1 is (one of) the best bets for ROMs for our tab right now. Flash that and then do some research into additional ROMs, if you want to.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well, did anybody bother to download and read the pdf or word doc file in the attached link above? Because it sounds like you didn't. I don't have 3.2.1 as I have a 501, so I have no need to perform this, but the doc even has pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph explaining each step with warnings and notes in red.

After the root is done, he even has a tool to install busybox. (you may want to install the superuser app first I believe he says)

I really don't know how much simpler it could be.

I suggest, if you have a question about the root app, as I stated previously above, you contact TimmyDean on his thread about any confusion you may possibly have.

If you are unfamiliar with certain terminology used, AndroidCentral has a good Android dictionary.

Honestly tho, it sound like you all didn't bother to download and read the doc or pdf.
[Acer Iconia A500] kleanth1s:
You are 100% right. I read everything except that one you said. Just finished flashing. VERY EASY, and GOD BLESS YOU my friend.

Didnt understand the backdoor tools OTA and busybox. My final question is, now that I have finished flashing (first step) am I rooted or do I have to complete the other steps?
[Acer Iconia A500] mtmerrick:
What did you flash? Back to stock?

Sent from my a500
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Yeah Yeah Yeah,,, act first, read instructions later :D

From what I understand, the backdoor tools will keep you from getting OTA updates. Maybe I'm wrong, but I really wasn't interested in that part. If you ever recieve notice from Acer, DO NOT install it. Usually, Acer likes to ship new bootloaders with their updates, just to mess with us "rooters".

Go to the Market, and get Superuser app and let it install.

I believe at this point, you have to run Install the busybox Tools (busybox folder), as I believe it gives you the option to install Busybox and Superuser tools. (not sure what exactly are the superuser tools, but he seems to think it's necessary, as when you run the app, it tell you to have superuser installed first)

And I think that's all you need. Then select Reboot the system.

The easiest way to check if you have superuser access, is to download an app that requires it.

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

Oh, 1 more thing. I don't think TimmyDeans app installs CWM recovery. He didn't specify this. So you may want to post a note or read his threads as somebody else may have asked the same thing.

CWM Recovery is necessary to flash custom roms. If you get root access, then probably you need to download AcerRecovery from the market, run it, and install Thor's Recovery image. (pretty painless).

And that's it. Then you have to follow instructions VERY CAREFULLY when flashing things, and always understand fully what you're doing.

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------

He ran TimmyDeans root for 3.2.1. He downloaded and "read" the included instructions.
[Acer Iconia A500] kleanth1s:
no, just followed the guide step by step, read it 4 times and proceeded.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Exactly ;)

Better to ask questions, and avoid a brick, and definately read the instructions seveal times. ;)

Oh yeah, a tidbit, make sure you hit "quote", so we know who you're replying to ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
Yup, it's all in the guide and if you get the latest versions (V4) there is nothing to load. It loads all the rooting tools and busybox stuff for you.

The other tools in the package are things that allow you to turn OFF OTA's so you're not blindsided by an OTA breaking root. Or you can take an OTA when you want and not when ACER wants you too. The backdoor tools are tools designed to stop an OTA from breaking root. However, V4 has one of these techniques already installed therefore if you don't turn off OTA's; most likely you'll keep root (again most likely, not guaranteed).

Are you using the Poland marketplace or the US one? You could go to the web marketplace and check the versions of the apps you have installed. If they are higher versions on the web then something is definitely wrong.
