[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmoothfreestyles:
@ stewiewevie and redpoint73 - wow, THANK you guys!! Much help!

The one I am getting is from a guy from Canada... he has had it for about 6 to 8 months... its in GREAT condition and it is unbranded and unlocked and is originally from Bell Mobility...

Only thing is, he does not know if it is the A7275 or A7272... Is there any way to tell??

Going off of what redpoint said and what I have read on here... (and correct me if I'm wrong) if it is from Bell than it would have to be the A7275, correct? because what Ive read on here is that the 7275 is the only one that will work on At&t 3G...

He says the phones OS is upgraded to Android version 2.3.7 (Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0)

Would this be a good decision, or would it be like buying an outdated phone? (or is that where the root comes in like redpoint mentioned?)

Thanks again guys!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If it was from Bell, then yes its the A7275. That model number is the Bell version by definition, and the one that has the UMTS/HSPA 850/1900 MHz compatibility.

Whether its a good buy or not depends on what you want out of a phone, and how much the seller is offering it for. The Z is getting a little old hardware spec wise, with a single core 800 MHz CPU and only 512 Mb memory. Current phones have a Gig of memory, and dual core CPUs teasing close to 1.5 GHz. On the other hand, there really is not a better Android phone with a keyboard around, and nothing announced anytime soon. The Z has a healthy developer community here, so that guarantees a variety of ROMs, including ICS.

Unless you are getting a pretty good deal, or really need a phone with a keyboard, my personal opinion would be to buy something more current. I've been obsessing about upgrading myself. Just haven't find just the right phone. If/when AT&T picks up the Galaxy Nexus, or an HTC phone that looks and feels better than the Vivid, I'll probably be all over it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmoothfreestyles:
I see...

Well to be honest, Ive never owned anything android and Ive always like the HTC phones... (never had one) and that was the one thing I liked about this particular phone was that it had a physical qwerty. I'm new to all this phone tech with the hardware and software and ROM's so I think it would be a good "starter phone" for me BUT, by the same token I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for something outdated...

I know even now a lot of the Desire Z's that I could find on the net are going for upwards of 300 to even 500... esp unlocked... although there are some advertised on eBay for 240 but the seller is from Honk Kong and I'm pretty leery about all that...

In your opinion what would be a good price or offer to pay?

I thought about offering the guy 250 for it but I don't know...

haha I swear Ive spent the past week researching phones and figuring all this out and narrowing it down and figuring out what will work and what I want and how much I want to pay for it... and I still don't have a phone lol
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caz666:
I have had just about 12 Android phones in the past 3 years (I get access to whatever I want at work). The desire z was probably my favorite device. It has the best mix of features for me...but I love hardware keyboards.

It is getting older, but mine easily overclocks to more than 1.2GHz and there are many roms to choose from.just learn about flashing. You can't really go wrong if you are not willing to pay more for newer or get a contract.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmoothfreestyles:
sounds awesome, Yea I really like the device too, have not got my hands on it yet lol... and that was kind of my thinking about it too... thanks Caz
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmoothfreestyles:
Follow UP

Guys, thank you for all your help! I FINALLY got my HTC Desire Z! So far I love it... only one problem haha... I inserted my ATT Sim and for some reason it wont connect to the network...

The phone is supposed to be Sim Unlocked and originally from Bell Mobility... I thought I could simply insert my ATT Sim and be on the go but apparently not...

Are there any settings I need to configure to get it to work??

Any info or help on this would, again, be greatly appreciated...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You need to manually enter the APN (or network) info. Since its Bell branded, it only has the Bell network info built-in.

Go to Settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names

Then create a new APN and enter the following info:

Name: AT&T

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: leave blank

Port: leave blank

Username:WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password:CINGULAR1

Server: leave blank

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS Port: 80

MCC:310

MNC:410

APN Type: leave blank
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmoothfreestyles:
It did not work :(

Those APN settings are exactly what Ive been looking for because I thought maybe that had something to do with it...

Most of the APN settings were already in the phone the only thing I had to add was the password... I did that with no luck... so then I deleted the APN settings all together and entered in all new settings with the ones you gave me... still no luck...

When I plug my friends SIM into the phone it works and connects to the network which is ATT but she has a data plan tied to the SIM so maybe that is what it is but I thought that you did not need a data plan...

When I do a network search it finds ATT but when I choose to connect to it it says "cannot/unable to connect to the network at this time"

I'm stooped...?

I think the phone has been flashed or rooted... it has CyanogenMod on it, and an option to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery on it and a SuperUser utility... does that have anything to do with it??
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmoothfreestyles:
The Sim I have is an ATT Go phone sim... does that have anything to do with it... my friends Sim that worked in the phone was on an ATT contract...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmoothfreestyles:
SUCCESS!!!

Well, I called ATT and told them I had a temporary HTC device I wanted to put my Go Phone Sim into because my old phone broke and one thing led to another and I ended up having to go to the ATT store and have them hook me up with a new Sim Card and SHABAMM! Everything works... and I'm still on my GoPhone plan without data...

The ATT Reps had their hands all over my device haha and they were all totally cool with it being unlocked, flashed and rooted! However they said there was no way to get data onto it without getting the $25 data package... psshhh... lol

Anyway, THANK YOU everyone for your help and info!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Umm, yeah . . . it would have been helpful if you mentioned that. So you didn't have any service at all (voice, SMS) on the old SIM? The typical issue with post-paid accounts is that voice works, but data doesn't, and that's where the APN comes in.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mrozilla:
Does anyone have this version of FW for Xperia Neo V:

4.0.2.A.0.62 (Generic Trade Central Europe 1 (2.3.4)) as Flashtool file (.ftf)

I can not find anywhere ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
Are you sure you checked everywhere,here anyway.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mrozilla:
This is certainly Central Europe 1? Because there is no such information ...

I found this FW LINK, but it is different because there are no options in a message what is the in Central Europe 1
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
I'm not sure,and this is the only 0.62 ftf file I saw yet for Neo V
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
So I finally got my wife to trust me the other night and went for it. All I did was install clockwork mod then root by installing Imoseyon's v.4.0 Kernel. This allowed me to keep all her data and use the voodoo lagfix as it has helped a few other friends phones that I have rooted.All was well till the following day when she complained her phone froze several times and needed a battery pull to restart. So being the compulsive person I am I had her go into voodoo control and uncheck the enable lagfix box. Once restarted she was unable to open any app that was on the SD card. They were just grayed out as if they werent even there. Now she is very unhappy.

I have tried to access the backup I created in CWM before i messed with anything. I get an error. Next I tried flashing the recovery files found here on XDA. Then restore back up. Still an error. So now i have flashe Tweakstock which works but she wants the phone back to stock. I tinker with my phones and friends phones constantly and can usually figure things out when they go wrong but I am really lost here. Any and all help is greatly appriciated.

This is the link for the root method I used: http://www.chargeforums.com/forum/droid-charge-hacking-guides/1264-how-root-your-droid-charge.html
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Which version of CWM did you use?
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
5.0.2.7 I think, its blue and has a dancing banana in the backround.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
In cwm, go to backup/restore, advance, and just restore data
[Verizon Droid Charge] nismology:
Yes I've had bad luck with that version of cwm. I would try first using the 0817 cwm release to restore the backup. If that doesn't work, i would extract the tar files using 7zip or something similar on your pc, grabbing the files you need, and pushing them back to the proper locations.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nismology:
That would fail for the same reason.
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
Intall in PDA, right? Nothing else with it and while on TweakStock ROM? She will be home in about an hour with her phone. Ill let you know how it goes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rodhargis:
Agree on 0817 CWM

I have to agree I had no luck trying to use CMW 5, I tried it several times with the same results. CWM 0817 worked perfect and have used it multiple times.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nismology:
Correct. Place it in PDA and flash it.

It can be found here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/189-recoveryclockwork-mod-recovery/
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
So i flashed the 0817 version of CWM. All is well but it still wont restore. I have double checked and everything is in the clockwork folder on the sd card. How do I manually flash them using ODIN? Is this even possible?
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
So i will be a little more clear with what files I have in the backup folder. There is:

.android_secure.vfat

boot.img

cache.rfs

data.rfs

datadata.rfs

nandroid.md5

recovery.img

system.rfs
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Have you try to restore just data? Make sure you mount all your /data before try it. when you select restore did you see your old backup? Also what sms app you used, stock?
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
Didnt work. I do see my old backup and stock sms.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
First of all, which cwm did you make your backup in? If it was orange then you have to restore with orange cwm. If it was blue then make sure you have the newest version of it. The older ones had problems with restores.

If it doesn't work then you might be out of luck. Maybe you had the old blue cwm and the underlying problem was that it made bad backups but restored good backups fine? I don't really know then.

I have had zero problems with the newest cwm by the way.

Sent from my pocket-sized, Linux-based computer using electromagnetic radiation... and Tapatalk.
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
Well thanks everyone. I think im just out of luck. I went back to stock using the directions at the top of the Charge development section and now when I sign into the market on my computer to push some apps to the phone, it doesnt recognize it. Any clue here?
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
can you download apps from the market from your phone? If not try boot into cwm and do the following:

1. mount /system, /data etc.. all of them. Once done they should all displayed unmount in front of all.

2. wipe factory/data, cache, davik cache.

4. reboot and sign in with google account then try to download from the market.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MidnightNinja:
To sort of finish the CWM question, CWM 4.X and CWM 5.X do backups differently. Thats why there are problems with restoring with the wrong one.

With that said, sometimes backups don't work.

Also, you flashed the wrong kernel. Imo4.0 is made for EP4P, not the current OTA for the charge, which is EP4D. Imnuts 0130 PBJ Kernel is the only one made for the Gingerbread OTA.
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
I can get to it from the phone and im already back to stock. Just when I log on from my desktop it says there is no android phone attached to the account or something like that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
Thanks ninja I just wish I had that info about an hour ago. The way I read it I was good with Imo4. Guess I should stick to messing with my Rezound.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I don't have any problems with imo 4 except bass boost in voodoo sound. I am on ep4d stock deodexed. ep4d and ep4p are nearly identical...

I can backup and restore on orange cwm perfectly.

You might as well take the opportunity to trick out her phone. Besides, what are u gonna lose besides text messages?
[Verizon Droid Charge] nismology:
1209 cwm is supposedly backwards compatible with 0817 backups. I guess it doesn't work the other way around. For what it's worth, I've never been able to restore with 1209 successfully. I've just learned to rely on TiBu and my backup pro.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
+1

It's so much easier to just be able to throw a new ROM on the phone and batch restore apps and data from TiBu (user only, never system apps/data).
[Verizon Droid Charge] snowride20:
I do use TiBu all the time with my phones with no issues. I had no clue I was going to run into such problems with her phone. I have never had a bad backup so I really figured it would never happen. I am very good with directions and I browse the forums everyday. I have really never had issues like this and I have rooted and ROMed about 7-8 phones now. I often find it amazing people run into so many problems following simple directions. Well now I found out why that happens and I need to be less compulsive when it comes to these phones. Anyway she is happy she is back to stock and ill just stick to playing with mine and friends phones. Thanks for everyones input, im sure the phone would be in the trash right now if not for XDA.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
you might as well install tweakstock ir similar if you have gone through this much trouble. Just sayin....
[Verizon Droid Charge] MidnightNinja:
Its not compatible. They make backups differently, so it would make sense that they would restore differently as well. It doesnt work either way.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
I found that using "mybackup" to restore is the best. I have been using this over Titanium to restore at least over 20 times and it's working flawless. Everytime I install a new rom, just use either or both "data/app"s then hit go and everything is back exactly the way it was(my home screen, all the apps, icons..everything). For data I have enough options to restore just sms, mms, OS settings, email, calendar, contacts, call logs etc... very very nice. You can not do this with Titinium. For apps restore, you have the option to restore just the app or the app plus data+settings. I have around 70 apps and it took less than 5 min to bring them all back. Highly recommended. I NEVER rely on CMW(any version) to restore.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tokafondo:
Hello and thanks and compliments to all devs and hackers out there.

I'd like to ask if now that HTC is unlocking bootloaders of many models, is there any way to install a full fledged linux instead of or even in a dual boot configuration.

I've seen many threads about this, and many of them talks about chrooted enviroments.

Is there any way to put LILO, GRUB in?

Is it possible to hack/change/improve/replace the bootloader so it loads any other OS?

What would be needed with this?

Can something like "the standard linux booting way" ported to HTC Android devices?

Thanks all, again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
Here's the deal followed instructions and qbking video for installing the Calkulin rom, did nandroid b/u in CWM, ran format all zip before Rom , all went well, less than ten minutes later phone was up and running very smoothly and all is well. All I want to do now is reload my apps back into my app drawer. Not restore my phone back to the way it was before the new Rom, all i want is my APP's back, not my previous rom. No i did not use Titanium Backup, i always hear "do a nandroid B/U before you flash" OK I did.... I want my APPS back !!!!! Somebody has to have a solution to my issue, I'm just a noob learning the ropes.

If the apps are saved in a b/u with CWM why cant I find the folder or location and then just copy them to my ext.SD card and then copy then into the phone.?

I guess this is where the "noob" part kicks in for me. I will be greatfull for any input from the forum crowd,

Thanks,

Pp.

PS> Big props to Calkulin for this great Rom E4GT.Rom.v2.8.1.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Khilbron:
You already know your own answer. Flash back to the old version, back them up with titanium, then reflash Calks. If you don't wish to do this, then your SoL.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
Thanks for your input, I was advised by another forum member that backing up apps can sometimes cause conflicts, so I,m just going to get fresh from the Market and not worry about unforeseen problems. My epic is purring like a kitten right now with Calks E4GTRom on EL29 and I don't WANT TO DISTURB ANYTHING. If I have to re-flash my old stock rooted EL29 I wont have to worry about any app conflicts either.

Thanks again,

Pp.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
Titanium can restore just apps without their data just like you'd just installed them from the market.

The paid version can also restore apps directly from a CWM backup but probably a better idea to nandroid back to your old ROM. Run a full backup in Titanium and then reflash your new ROM. Finally go a restore just the apps only.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lovemoddingmyphone:
Restore from the previous backup and restore the apps through Titanium backup. No conflicts . Dont worry!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
You can restore just your apps through a Nandroid backup.

- Boot your phone into recovery

- Go to 'Back and Restore'

- Go to 'Advanced Restore'

- Click on which Nandroid backup you want to get your apps from

- Click 'Restore data'

You should have your apps back :) Let me know if it works
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Would that restore settings such as ringtones and home screen setups etc...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
I believe so... I did this like a month ago and I remember being pleased with everything that I wanted the way it was. I may be mistaken though since it's been awhile.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Khilbron:
Performing that type of restore is not advised as it can cause alot of conflicts. The recommended way to backup/restore apps, is to use Titanium Backup.

Check the last box under Settings, which reads, "Fix for TouchWiz UX" and it moves the wizz bar activator just to the right of the TW mini apps launcher, allowing you to have both working.

Swipepad works great on my AOKP ICS Build
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Beards:
Thanks.... Installed and initial findings look good.

At least now I have access to launching AirCalc whenever I want whilst EasyMoney is running.

Without this App this is how I would have had to launch AirCalc from EasyMoney:-

1. From EasyMoney I would have had to go back to my Home screen.

2. Find AirCalc and launch it.

3. Re-open EasyCalc (which would then also require a password to launch).

As you can see, this is why I needed a Wizz Bar alternative.

Thanks given to you. :)

Hello, I'm just new in the Android world. I just acquired an HTC Tattoo and an Xperia X8.

In the X8 I have the n4n kernel with latest nighly cyanogenmod (20)

In Tattoo I have the stock kernel with latest nighly cyanogenmod (22)

With the Tattoo I don't have any problem.

But with the X8 I can't access to the Market (latest installed version 3.4.4) . I also tried with older markets (3.1.2, 2.2.x). When I try to open the app, it don't open. It ask to create an account and it don't make anything after that. Also tried with mini CM 2.1.9.

And with WhatsAPP it just don't install (yes I have third parties apps enabled)

Can somebody help me, please?

Thanks

Yes I have the SIM card. But this not necessary because with Tattoo it's not a requeriment.
