Restore dumped me back to the CMR menu saying "Error while restoring /data!" after successfully restoring all the partitions it does before /data.

Upon rebooting it at this point, it sat at the boot animation for a long time, and when it finally moved past it, it booted up as if it was wiped, running the android google account setup stuff.

Anyone else have that happen?

EDIT : So I went ahead and went back into CMR and performed a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache, then did a backup.

I booted in, then rebooted back into recovery, performed a restore of my factory reset backup, and it successfully completed the restore.

I'm gonna do a few more tests and I will post my results.

im not entirely sure about the build.prop tweaks yet. my device seems to be heating up, and i am not sure if it is because of the overclock or because of the touchscreen tweaks. still seems incredibly fast though.

as for your issue, i have restored twice and it has worked fine. try cleaing data and cache, then factory reset, then restore and see if that works. i have a feeling that it has to do with a mounting issue.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] modestone:
I let my tablet restore all my apps and settings, then went back into recovery and did a new backup, and then restored that, it worked properly.

So I dunno what was up with my first backup, but all subsequent backup/restores have worked correctly.

I seemed to notice similar heating up and battery drain issues with da_gs kernel even without the OC applied, maybe try flashing back to stock kernel but keep the build.prop tweaks?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
i checked cpu spy and it is going into dep sleep just fine so i dont know.

i am going to try stock kernel again.

the smoothest performance i have had yet was wiping my tab with darkside tool, then flashing stock with Odin, then installing CWM and then flashing superuser.zip....

makes me wonder if all the tweaking and messing around is actually just hurting my performance....this tab is crazy fast out of the box with adw.

also, we may be getting a dev with a device soon, so that is good news.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
something is happening with /data (i think) that is making the flashing of custom ROMS to not work.

when you clear data/factory reset in cwm, it wipes the device correct?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] modestone:
Yup, makes it reset up google accounts and wipes all apps.

I have done it multiple times in the last couple days.

I used titanium backup to delete all the bloatware, did a wipe in cwm, then did a backup, followed by a restore to make sure it worked, and ended up with a fresh, rooted stock, bloatware removed, cwm backup to revert to.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
cool, I will take a look at that script later. I spoke with utkanos last night about this exact issue, and he said it really doesnt look like a CWM issue, it is something weird with our file structure, and most likely something to do with /data being double mounted. really frustrating....this is where I ended up giving up on my ROM because I couldnt figure this out.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
I read somewhere that if the kernel is over a certain file size then it cant be written to /tmp, but if you flashed a kernel before then it should work.

The only other thing I see is you are unmounting /data at the end, and CWM has dependencies on some files in /data to run, so when you go to unmount data, it basically says the system is busy, and doesnt unmount, or if it does unmount, then CWM crashes? Just an idea.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
I have a custom wallpaper that I had used previously. I then went into CWM, wiped everything I could, and then Odin'd to stock ROM. I then wiped again with 3e recovery. whenever i have a 'fresh install' i still have that custom wallpaper on my screen, as well as a few folders which have files from my previous install.

what isnt wiping correctly?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] Presbycusis:
I thought we didn't have a "3e" full wipe for this device yet, just stock firmwares. Are u talking about the Dark side wipe?

By the way.....do we have a boot.img for our device?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
nevermind, the wallpaper was being restored when google restored the device from backup.

yes there is a boot.img for the device.

also, still no luck with flashing roms through CWM.

Pres, i now know why you asked, I was checking out the androiddev-us forums. here is what you can give xboarder:

Hello, I'm not sure how many successful testers this makes, but I did a full backup restore cycle today on my new Telus SGH-I957D. Thank you for making this possible.

I'm not new to XDA, but am new to this tablet (had a PanDigital and a Chinese Rena 3 prior). Is the SCH-I957 the same as the GT7310? Does the Cyanogen 9 referenced in this forum work on the LTE variant?

By the way, if you hadn't found it before, the other trick with a .mumble file is to put .nomedia in any folder you don't want to be scanned by the media scanner. Helpful when you have 1100 epub books that you don't want showing up in the gallery...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
1. It is most similar to the 7320

2. CM9 referenced in this forum does not work for our devices

EDIT: I was asking about getting a CDN stock ROM to flash to the AT&T version but now I see that an Odin version is available.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] TEKHD:
Well, the tablet came and is fading in the dark with new items coming each day, week, month... and nothing was ever develop for it... Just root and o/c and that's it...??? No custom roms... Damn...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
It doesn't have the community that the tab 10.1, Galaxy S2 or the Nexus have, and it most likely never will. It isn't a very popular model (idk why, i love it), so you won't see a lot of ROMS for this.

Also, none of the qualcomm devices (att galaxy s2 lte, t-mobile galaxy s2 lte) have ICS yet, so it isnt just this tab if you were concerned about that.

There is ONE developer I know who owns the device, and he only obtained it recently. We scraped together root, CWM, and OC just by asking people who dont even own the device for help. If the community didnt go to external sources, we might not even have those right now.

There are basically 3 options: wait for a developer with the device to make something, self-teach yourself the coding (probably not feasible without a lot of time or experience), or ask people with similar devices for help (skyrocket).

If this device was android 2.3 i would definitely bet there would be ROM ports from other devices already, but since it is the only qualcomm device with HC, we get no ports. Just have to wait until samsung releases ICS source, and then we can probably get ICS ports from the skyrocket or tmo gs2.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] testulous:
Just a FYI in case anybody else wants to try the same thing:

you WILL increase your custom flash counter (which shows up on the "Downloading..." screen) if you Odin a non-AT&T ROM onto an AT&T device. You'll also get a FAILED error when it tries to flash the modem, just ignore that because it sort of works anyway.

Having tried the Telus ROM I learned it's not worth the hassle. Better to do CWM, the superuser CWM update, then install TB to remove the bloatware. These stock HC ROMs are about the same except for the crap added on.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] cmstlist:
Does bloatware removal suffice to enable tethering on the AT&T firmware? Or is that hard coded at such a level that one would be best to flash the Telus ROM to get that feature?

Could the Telus ROM be repacked for CWM? Or could it be diced up to flash everything but the kernel in order to spare the flash counter?

Has anyone had experience trying to warranty it after tripping the flash counter?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
hey utkanos do you think it is possible to port CWM touch 5.8.1.3 to the i957? I saw that in the i727 forums that the old version of cwm seems to have issues with ICS flashes, and the newer version does not.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] utkanos:
koush is not providing touch source so no I can't personally, but you can request a build from him.

Direct him to my github's device tree for your device

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
When I factory reset in recovery it won't boot past the Samsung logo. I also can't mount usb storage and can't unmount data.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] TEKHD:
So you bricked the tablet?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] testulous:
Bricking is when you can't ODIN anymore. Or maybe that's "hard bricking" and this is soft-bricking. Sounds fixable to me :)

In other news I've been using the tab too much to mess around with firmware images. ANybody offering odds we'll get an official ICS before a custom one? I read somewhere there's supposed to be an official in June, meaning a leak might be out next month with a lot of luck.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
Soft bricked. Odin restore worked fine. But formatting data and system in cwm will definitely soft brick your device so watch out.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH-i957 Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
Not holding my breath for a custom.

If designgears cared I bet he could find a leak for our tab. He found two for the skyrocket already

Hi,

I have this problem thats bother me a lot...When I use my phone for example 25 min. temperature of the phone rise to 35c and its get hot on the botom side of the phone. I use it for whats app chat or just looking somethings in the widgets..noting havy. I know that desire have some isues with motherboard on some series in 2010 but mine is from 2011. I newer use it havy to rise high temp. (38+) couse my alarm activats and I live it cous I have fear from constant rebooting problem. Last night for 25 min. on chat and zedge browse on wifi and temp. rise from 29 to 36,2c. In normal use temp. rise 1c on every 3 min. :(

Does any one have same problems and I will appreciate if some one wrote his temp. rise/min. and how much it rise from normale ussage? And whats normal use temp. for desire? In htc support chat they sad that normal work temp for htc phones is 35-45c but on 35c my screen is HOT!

I am on stock 2.3 rom.

I appreciate halp couse my phone is out of worranty!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swag-Mo:
How to handle our Desires... lol

im no expert on the topic but i i may just be able to use logic to logically explain this slight problemo of the sorts. Are you using 3g or 2g because using 3g in an area with poor coverage makes your phone work harder to retain a signal and such would result in drastic heat increases. another possible reason is that you may be holding your phone in the wrong position, i.e blocking the antenna which is situated on the lower backside of the phone. refer to your phone manual on how to hold your phone correctly to avoid blocking the path of your antenna.. hope this helps, a report-back would be most appreciable...:cool::cool:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crni6:
I use wifi but when I use 3g my phone get worm faster...first I notice that front side is worming(lower side of the screen). I hold phone normaly like everyone else in there hands...I know there are antena but there are oather phones... :/

Whats your range of temp. rise?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swag-Mo:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swag-Mo:
Saddened by such ranting and raving over bullocks

Well im sorry you dont know this, YOU SHOULD!!, but using your mobile extensively whilst charging isnt the best way of keeping your desire cool, lol excuse the pun. In fact, your basically not even charging your phone at all. All that you're succeeding in doing is putting a lot of strain on your hardware, especially your battery and motherboard. Im presuming your a repairs center frequenter:rolleyes::rolleyes:. If you realise that such a pattern increases the likelihood of freezing, i know we all hate that :D:D, why keep repeating it? To sum this whole topic up, the more strain you put on your lovely mobile, the hotter its gonna get. If you cant take the heat, well then maybe a phone with the processing power of a late-model Pentium 3 and twice its memory truly isn't the right artillery for you. Perhaps a fruit such as a blackberry or an apple should be bestowed to your care... HIGHLY TECHNICAL CREATIONS (HTC) are for the logical ones amongst us:cool::cool::cool:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Are you serious? I know all that mate. Geez. Did your eyes not venture to the post I quoted? The one that states having aosp ROM installed stops the phone heating up with such behaviour. My point was to show that even with aosp it still heats up and freezes. You should really read what's being said, and process it correctly, before you write a stupid condescending post trying to look smart.

It's a known issue with lots of HTC desire

. My device had this defect too!

The motherboard is faulty and the phone must be replaced by HTC. I doubt your phone is out of warranty since Desire is a model less then 2 year old and (at least in europe) warranty must be 2 years by law.

The og epic did this no problem and I miss it. I have my FB set up thru social hub and have calendar sync checked off so what's the prob??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MmmSkyscraper:
I used to have that working myself but then timezones on events were all messed up so I was forced to find another way.

So what I did was a bit of an end-around that uses your Google account's calendar. If you don't want to sync to Google calendar then this won't work.

If you do, go to your Facebook Events page. There's a link called "Export". That will pop up a message with a webcal://... link. Copy that link to your clipboard.

Then go into your Google calendar using a computer browser (sign in to the account you sync to your phone). Click the little dropdown triangle next to the "Other calendars" section on the left-hand sidebar and choose "Add by URL". Paste the URL that you copied from Facebook into the box and click "Add Calendar".

Now your Facebook events will be in your Google calendar.

If you go to Settings for the Calendar on your phone and select the "Calendars" option, you can pick and choose which of the Google calendars you want to sync. Each will show up as a separate calendar.

If you are obsessive about wishing people a happy birthday, you can also go to the "Birthdays" link under Events on Facebook and follow the same method to export a calendar of all of your Friends' birthdays.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I forgot about this thread lol. After removing all my synced accounts and restoring them manually I got my calendar back up. I guess restoring synced accounts from titanium doesn't do much of a good job.. But thanks for the info bcuz I didn't know I could export a calendar from FB!
