CWM recovery should work if you have the exact same CWM recovery you used to backup with .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralphrss:
Thanks but i already did that i used the same version of cwm recovery it is showing the missing files error
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksantoshh:
Try creating a blank nandroid.md5 file with notepad and then place the same in the backup folder and then try restoring backup.

hope this helps!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralphrss:
how do i do that exactly please give me some pointers and my note pad does not have the option of md5 files if u have it can u make me a copy of blank nandroid or tell me how to make it please and thankyou
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Try Copy MD5 to desktop open with notepad delete contents and close and save . jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralphrss:
i am missing the md5 file

i only have the four files which are given above which is in the first post

so can you please tell me how to make the new md5 file
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzy lion:
just save as .txt then change the extension to md5 using file explorer or similar.

if you long press on a file in file explorer it should popup with some options. Select rename and change the extension from txt to md5

Completely everything i seen from him is an OBVIOUS FAKE Launcher:D

Anyway porting windows is possible however if its an ARM compiled Windows only.

Only released ARM Windows is Windows Embedded Compact 7(dumbed down version, Based on Windows 7), can be ported and im guessing that if ace even has a PC like BIOS it's in the CLOSED SOURCE, Windows heavily depends on BIOS.

The next thing is the kernel that needs to be adopted to coopers hardware in the source code(Yes the kernel source is public) of EC7 Kernel

Doing all that is an incredible waste of time and im guessing it can take an about an year or more to get it somewhat stable

Another way to run Windows IN Android is QEMU or BOCHS they are emulators that emulate software code as x86 hardware, Because this is only a simulation its not possible to achieve usable performance on our phone SLOW CPU not even when running Win95 or Win98 or ME or 2000(Have used both emus if an OS even boots it gives a random BSOD or crashes the whole phone)

And Reverse engineering any NT Based Windows wold probably take at least 5 years:D

Omg! Don't be fooled... He did exactly what I said and is running a remote desktop client! Notice the Aero effects he forgot to turn off? Still he is not showing a boot process or any system info, or anything to in fact prove he accomplished the impossible except a fuzzy video that won't stop moving enough to see clearly the system info of the PC he is remotely connected to in the bottom left corner of the window he opens. Now he is refusing more proof. This is what he wanted exactly. To pretend he had something awesome and us flamers here ruined it. He wants to drag on that thread a while ago where all the dev's were leaving cuz of noobs.

Hey Guys.

A friend of mine tried to unlock my phone and made multiple failed attempts and choose some option which now have resulted in the phone being BLOCKED. it is not showing the "normally available option" of logging in via the gmail account. It is asking for a recovery password. I have no idea what that password is as i never set such a password. I have tried all my accounts on the phone. i tried 0000 and 00000000 aswell for the default passwords but of no avail. The screen shows "Recovery password required to unblock phone".

When i give a wrong password it says "Incorrect recovery password.All data will be wiped in line with security policy". As i dont want to do this i turn off my phone and upon restarting it this happens again. I tried removing the battery for sometime.Keeping the phone turned off etc but nothing positive.

Any suggestions on a workaround or what might the password be?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannibal226:
Hey,

never heard s.th. like that before.

but u said unlock? So it's from an Provider and u maybe have some sheets at home with infos and so on (like number, pin, puk etc.) maybe also a recovery passwort or kind of it is written?

PS: u also kann try 1234 1235 o kind of it.... but dunno what happend if to often typed... maybe u really loose data so better have a look first or call provider, maybe the service can help

CHEERS ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
This is the exact same setup as a stolen phone will show . So best advice is return the phone to the network/phone supplier who should be able to reset on evidence of purchase .

Incorrect recovery password.All data will be wiped in line with security policy

Means a security policy has been set up by the owner of the phone .

In case of a stolen phone or such symptoms XDA cannot get involved in workarounds that may be illegal .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auny87:
Guys its my own phone no stolen thing. it is not on a network. The guy was trying to unlock it and made too many tries with it.

Regarding the policy, i did have my exchange account setuped on the phone which required the pattern lock in the first place. May it had such a policy but i am not aware of that. So any wild ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auny87:
Regarding unlocking i didnt say "unlock". i said "unblock". this unblock thing has nothing to do with the network unlocks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Had this same issue occur on my EVO4G, back in the day. Basically when they first were new. Messed around too much and somehow lost my WiMax keys. Since then I believe they've come up with several ways to repair the issue. What I did then was RUU back to factory, and start the whole root process over. That got my WiMax back.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Middleasternplayer:
Reset to factory RUU using the supersonic RUU utility, on the hboot screen it still says s-off and revolutionary at the top...Sole Conslusion is that this phone, per revolutionary CANNOT be unrooted, now that i have the bone stock rom on my evo, the 4G doesnt work, i know this because on the stock evo rom, while searching for 4g you get in the top left part of the screen it states "4G!" which means there is no 4G, well that little symbol is not on the top the screen in either my new rom or the stock rom, stating something is wrong with my 4G...i think i have a unique situation that i need to be fixed...and i cannot find a fix for this

Hi people,

Having an issue with my GT 8.9" P7300 3G.

Trying to flash the kernel with _Motley's version so i can overclock the CPU, using the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1344330

The thing is my device's android version is 3.1 and when I press on Software update from setting -> about device, i get nothing , it says i have the latest version.

However, in Motleys tutorial there's no zip file for 3.1 3G, I download and flashed the wi-fi one for 3.1 and it was installed with no problems, the only thing obviously was the 3G.

Anyhow, i decided to upgrade the ROM from 3.1 to 3.2 so then I could flash the kernel. Am i doing the right thing? Do I have other (better) alternatives?

Yet, i couldn't find any way to upgrade from 3.1 to 3.2.

Please give me advises on doing so, any help is very much appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] poisike:
You can flash any stock 3.2 P7300 rom you find in development section. This is the newest > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1443475

You can find a guide on how to use Odin there > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406137

For the firmware i linked to, you only need to use the "PDA" button to select the .md5 file you downloaded. Don't touch any other settings.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] alibahaloo:
Cool,

Thanks. I'll give this a try and come back with the result...

EDIT:

Forgot to ask you: does the ROM you post the link to have support for 3G too?

I see in your signature you have Android 4.0.3 P7300 alpha1, have you done overclocking for your device too?

Do you suggest to me to upgrade to 4.0 instead of 3.2? Just want to have your opinion :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] alibahaloo:
Installed and its running OK.

The 3G is also fine... only one thing: the loading at boot takes a bit longer time than 3.1.

But its OK ... not a big deal.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] poisike:
I don't see the need to OC ICS. Everything runs a lot faster even without OC. But keep in mind that it's a alpha, camera and hw video acceleration doesn't work.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] zeekabal:
Overclocking does not really help. I flashed motley and made extensive benchmarks to compare before and after and the improvements per marks were promising. But when it becomes to lagging, u will experience more lags whencit comes to overclocking. So i dont recommend it. Aside of battery drainage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bacardi222:
My apologies to those of you before who were offended by my previous post, I didn't mean to start up such a ruckus.

However, I managed to borrow a friend's camera to show you the damage to my phone, and I was hoping you all might be able to tell me if I can get it repaired and if so how much it would cost.

Before you view them, note that the damage to the screens is internal, the outside of the screen is not damaged, if I run my finger over it there is no crack or anything, it all appears to be on the inner part of the screen.

Thanks!

The red outline I've done in paint shows a crack the runs the length of the screen on the left, as well as in the top right corner of the screen. Any other little blemishes you see that are minor scratches on the surface of the screen and are insignificant, the main focus here is that obvious crack at the top left, and those that run down the left side and the top right corner.

EDIT: I read somewhere on Sprint's site that if it could be repaired inside of a repair store the cost would be $35 is that true?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fonebone2:
It's not going to be cheaper than SPP + deductible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bacardi222:
I'm sorry what does SPP stand for?

I don't have insurance or warranty if that's what you're referring to :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] husker apollo:
you down with spp? yea you know me.

but for reals, i believe that just refers to a third party warranty. standard protection plan maybe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bacardi222:
Oh okay thanks! Any idea what it might cost to fix without all this jazz?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Unfortunately, I do not think that is something that will be covered under the $35. That is if there is a hardware related issue, and you don't have insurance they will swap it for 35 bucks. But since it was your error I am almost positive that they will not cover it. I would buy a new screen online for probable $100+ and repair it myself. Otherwise be ready to shell out $600 for a new phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bacardi222:
Thanks for the reply, this is getting scary :/ I certainly do not have that kind of money to spare.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] husker apollo:
yeesh that's steep. just my 2 cents here: i tried to replace a screen on my old iphone 3g once, and couldn't put it back together. i took it to the apple store, paid $100 for an out of warranty replacement, plus the wasted time and $ on the parts... although i do not consider myself to be a technician by any means, it's harder than advertised.

sorry for the OP that sucks... i'm really happy i have the protection plan... it's only like another 5$ a month.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bacardi222:
Yeah, I appreciate the advice but I can definitely not do something like that without screwing something up.

Next time I know to go with the protection plan, do you know if I can get a protection plan on a new phone, like for example if I got this one replaced with a new one (or refurbished? however they do it) would I then be able to add the protection plan on that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] husker apollo:
i am not sure, i know when i bought the phone they gave you 30 days to add it; you may get a refurb or something which generally have a different set of warranty guidelines... but i'm new to sprint so i really am just speculating. i just switched from iphone to this phone when it came out and (fortunately) have not had to exercise the warranty.

the best thing you can do to get a straight answer is find some time to go into a sprint store and talk to someone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
I read in one of these forums about how to get the insurance after the fact. It is possible...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bacardi222:
Yeah I actually just looked up a sprint store that does repairs about 20 minutes away, I'm gonna head there today to see if I can get some answers.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latoso:
Yes you can, I always get my phones from ebay used or new you can get insurance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] husker apollo:
im a bit curious how this plays out for you, let us know. good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bacardi222:
Awesome, this is good news. The main problem now is seeing if I can get this phone fixed for a reasonable cost...preferably under $600 lmao.

Thanks for helping I really appreciate it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latoso:
Just look on eBay for LCD replacement for $100 fix it your self. I'm no tech and I have done it my self
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevilStrider:
If he has TEP he will just pay a $150 deductible and get a refurbished phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I had an Evo 4G whose screen broke. The Glass and Digitizer needed to be replaced.

I went to the Sprint store and they wanted $85 which was very reasonable.

The SE4GT of course is a different device, but I would think it would cost at the most, $125. This estimate would be if there was not any other damage than the glass and digitizer.

It is a Super Amoled Plus screen, so the above is an estimate.

To attempt to affect the repair yourself may be opening up a whole can of worms, as it's not as easy as it sounds. There are many variables regarding the repair.

Unless you are able to it on a few devices, to get good at it, doing it onetime only may be problematic.

It's worth the few more bucks to have someone experienced do the repair, imo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tokuzumi:
Whether or not a sprint store repairs your phone will be at the discretion of the store.

I was selling a phone, and met the buyer at a sprint store. The buyer also had an Evo 4G with a cracked screen (digitizer). The sales rep stated they had a repair center, but Sprint would not insure/reimburse them for the repair, so they wouldn't do it. But another sprint store, just a few miles down the road has an Evo 4G with a shattered screen on a display, with a sign "We can fix this". They repaired it for $35. Not sure whether they had insurance on the Evo 4G, or not. Both stores only sell Sprint phones.

So, this is a huge YMMV.
