bl1.2 to 1.1

I got the gtab back, and it's now on bl1.2 (but still gingerbread), whereas it first came with 1.1, and I rooted it to Gtabcomb. So how do I get it back to 1.1 so I can restore my backup?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaggerDave:
Visit this site here.

From there you can download the nvflash package for 1.1 boot loader with CWM pre-installed. Follow the instructions on the site for Code Red (I know you could do yellow but red is safer and you don't want to keep anything currently on the tab anyway.) After the nvflash, instead of installing a new rom, you can go into CWM and restore your backup.

That said, I suggest you don't do this. Most all new development is on the 1.2 boot loader now, even Viewsonic if you call them "developers". Anyway you can restore all your apps, even paid ones, through the market and if you did a Titanium Backup you can restore your data (I don't recommend restoring the apps, just the data after reinstalling from the market). Point is, you are already here (1.2) might as well try something new!

Of course, if you really want your old setup back, you can always try to go back. I personally have never had much luck with backups of any kind and pretty much accept that when I flash or crash, it's time to start over.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
If you want to go back to the 1.1 bootloader I have an easy technique to do that--one that does not involve using nvflash. You will need to have ADB installed, though.

Let's not use nvflash for every little problem that comes along, eh? Esp. in this case, when its so easy to switch between bootloader versions.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retiredrobb:
And that would be.......?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaggerDave:
Noted. Didn't know there was a better/safer method for switching between bootloaders. Most of the guides/info/instructions I have found recommend an nvflash to the stock rom for the bootloader version you want end up on. I follow these guides when switching versions:

Know Thy Bootloader

Gtablet for Dummies

and have never had a problem, so I was only pointing him to information that has always worked well for me. I have never tried the ADB method or the .zip installable method to switch and I didn't want to suggest that he try something I haven't successfully done myself, even if it looks easier.

Anyway please do advise on your ADB method. I still get a little nervous when switching BL versions even after doing it many times over the last year! By the way rajeevvp, thank you for the wealth of information you have posted here on this site.

ext SD won't mount

So I'm back to Bl1.1 and stock ROM, but can't get my backup to work cuz the card with the data won't mount. Now i admit I have some other directories on the card. Is that the problem?

The wife and kids are getting restless!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Have you installed CWM (for the 1.1 bootloader)?

As long as there is a "clockworkmod" directory-tree in the root of the SD card (internal or external), and CWM recognizes the SD card (depending on the version of CWM, it might not use the external SD card at all), you should be able to do the restore.

If you install CWM-2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8, and the clockworkmod directory is on the external SD card, move that entire directory tree to the root of the internal card. CWM v08 uses the internal SD card for backups and restores.

Or else, you can install CWM-2.5.1.3 from bekit.net, which will use the external SD card if one is detected, and fall back to the internal one otherwise.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

The ADB method involves flashing VS's stock recovery and then using that to downgrade/upgrade the bootloader using a simplified version of gojimi's downgrade/VS stock upgrade install zip file.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retiredrobb:
In review, I got a new board installed under warranty cuz of the power pin being bad. Was having trouble mounting the ext-sd.

Anyway, so many hours wasted, but FINALLY got Titanium Backup on it, restored everything, and things were back to normal EXCEPT tons of lockups. Browsing, using apps, didn't seem to matter. Then I remembered I dropping the CPU speed when I first went to Gtabcomb 9 months ago. I think that helped, but in the middle of updating some apps it did it again, and when I rebooted the security pin I had set up didn't work! What next?!?

So obviously needed to reset to factory, but then decided WTH, why not bring this thing up to the highest Android 3 I could. So I'm going to change from bl1.1 to 1.2, and go with Gtabcombover. So my questions are - what's the best way to get to 1.2, and will Titanium be able to restore my backup under 1.2?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Did you do a "wipe data/factory reset" and/or repartition the internal SD card after you installed CWM?

GtabCombOver has a 1.1 version.

The safest method is to re-install 1.1-3588, then use it to update to 1.2.

I recently got a Dinc2. I immediately HTC unlocked it, and now I'm regretting it. I flashed CWM and flashed superuser. Now i just want to get S-OFF so i can do more to it. I've tried to revert back to 2.3.3 so i can use revolutionary, but nothing I've tried has worked. If someone could point me in the right direction, i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
You gotta relock it and THEN you can downgrade/s-off.

Worked perfectly. I've been searching for quite a while and was completely stumped, so thanks a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] id_mew:
To get strait to the point, I don't really like nexus.

I had the Galaxy S2 (international one) about 3 month ago and I loved it so much, but I had to sell it because I went away for 3 month.

So on January 13 I got the Nexus. I was really exited, I was waiting anxiously until my provider releases it.

So far in seven days, I exchanged my Nexus 3 times, mostly because of screen problems, and random reboots.

Right now my third Nexus has purplish hue on a grey background on top of the screen and it bothers me a lot.

I'm kind of tired of switching this phone, and my provider is getting really annoyed.

I have until January 26 to make my last switch and my only other option that I consider is the Galaxy S2X (Hercules).

Now what I like about the s2 better is the way Samsung implemented everything, it's just easier to use and more fun.

Like sliding left for a msg or right for a phone call and just basis operations, like selecting pictures is just more practical, and not to mention that the camera is also better.

What do you guys think I should do?

I know the GS2X is inferior to the GS2 because it's using a different processor, but do you thing it's worth switching the Nexus for it?

Thanks for your input.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MagicMan3:
There is nothing wrong with the S2 of any variant. You say you are unhappy with the Nexus so why keep it? Get the S2 and enjoy your phone.

That statement says it all, why do you need anyone else's opinion if that's how you feel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] id_mew:
Thanks for your response.

I just don't want to feel that I'm making a mistake by changing the Nexus to something else.

Flash 4.0.3 and Franco kernel. Also update your baseband and bootloader. You will see how strong this phone is. If you like the out of box experience, then android is not for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
Phone is mediocre out the box. Ran stock for about a day because I wasn't around a computer. Felt restricted. Did the one click everything. Flashed aokp with newest radio/baseband and Franco kernel and this phone is 100xs better than it was the day before. So many different ways to customize. Data speeds and transition speeds are improved. I also lowered my dpi so now my picture is way more crisp than before. I say give it more time. I'm coming from a sgs2 and I don't regret giving it up for the nexus. Besides this phone will have insane ongoing support. I've seen a couple people from development on some of my old phones. It's a great experience.

Is there any case for the xoom that is similar to the transformer keyboard/trackpad combo. i've seen some with the keyboard but having one with a track pad would really come in handy for me.
[Xoom Accessories] brandogg:
The case you're looking for does not exist. I assume you have an Android phone - you can download Blueputdroid and (assuming your phone is rooted - if it isn't...well...it should be) use your phone as a trackpad. It's a pretty great program, it can also be used as a game controller.

[Xoom Accessories] Tikerz:
Very interesting. If you get one let us know how it is.
[Xoom Accessories] Xoom Master:
The transformer one wouldn't fit? I'm pretty sure it won't but... never know
[Xoom Accessories] brandogg:
No, it won't. It's made specifically for the TF, it uses the proprietary connector, has clips designed for the case, etc.
[Xoom Accessories] Xoom Master:
OK sorry to waste your time
[Xoom Accessories] legion21:
Exactly what I was looking for thank you very much. I think I'm gonna pick one of these up since they don't seem too expensive.

[XPERIA X8 General] codemaker:
Hey dudes,

I would like to fully backup my phone (ROM,system data, pre-installed apps, everything) before installing any ROM or in case I mess things up :D or return the phone should any hardware problems happen.

Now, Does Titanuim backup pro do that or I have to use Nandroid?

Also, I tried to find anything about how to install Nandroid on Xperia X8 but no luck so far. Could you please show me the way?

Cheers
[XPERIA X8 General] fundre:
What do you mean by installing nandroid? You just need to install recovery to do a nandroid backup, use ClockWorkMod recovery (newer version) or xrecovery (older, a bit obsolete). Look up in development section on how to install :)

Currently there is no Stock based ROM for the Shark Fx Plus, you can always switch to CyanogenMod 7 - 9 but if your phone doesn't even start, Sad to say you're hopeless unfortunately.

I am having issues navigating my way through this. I am not new to rooting (Evo 4G, several iPhone versions) but this is my first attempt at a tablet and I am apparently missing something big time.

I am on a KF with 6.2.2 and a Mac (Lion OS) and have downloaded and installed the adb installer per this thread. I also have the BurritoRoot3.apk file sitting on my KF. However, this is where I get lost. When I click the app file on the KF it give me the "Please run /data/local/tmp ... BurritoRoot3.bin --root" message. Running this on my Mac renders "error: device not found" but I suspect the Burrito app must need to run through a process before sending it to the KF to do the actual root. As you can see, I am somewhat clueless but I once I have direction, I am comfortable carrying it out.

Can someone give me some best practices on where I am going wrong? Thanks!

It sounds to me like the USB.ini didn't transfer. adb should work right away. I have another installer that just does that. I will post a link in a couple minutes.

Thx for posting the link to the auto-adb file--that seemed to work. However, I am still clueless as to a few things. #1 I still get the message about burritoroot3.bin so apparently I need to run the apk through something to be able to run it. I did chmod on the apk and although it changed the icon I am still unable to open it (i get the "which program do you want to use to open ..." message. #2 when i try to run burritoroot3 am I clicking on the file while looking into the KF with it plugged in or am I running it on my computer then moving it over to the KF? (I suspect the former). Thx again.

I'm not 100% sure I understand the question. You install BurritoRoot on the Kindle and open it then run the adb commands it tells you to.

I'm sorry, I am having the same issues, I install burrito and it tells be to run a command line, just like the guy before me. I then installed the link that you posted.

Agreed. Stock ICS launcher or launchers built off it like Nova are much better imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big-A-Rob:
bought it, refunded it. Really nice widgets and great concept. Very smooth, but the ram usage is ridiculous. If system kills it to free memory it takes like a solid 2 min to load. That killed it for me. That thing would take as much ram as everything I had running including the system combined almost.

Not a fan here. Actually it is very disappointing, I expected SPB to improve or the UI and not simply release it for another OS.

it is identical to what they had years ago.

was fantastic back then and really improved the WM5 bland experience.

Is your phone rooted ? If so, then it's easy, use TitaniumBackup to backup all your apps.

If you don't have permanent root (i.e. by using the HTCdev bootloader unlock tool and then rooting, or by using the XTC Clip device and rooting), then you can get temporary root and still do the backup/restore that way. Just with temp root you will have to re-do the rooting after a reboot.

[HTC Wildfire S] Aef 101:
Easiest way is to use CLockwork Mod and create a nandroid of your current Rom, then when you try other roms and decide to go back to previous Rom, you just use cwm and select restore.

Also use Titanium Backup as suggested earlier.
