Hey guys, so I have a question for all you that flash lots of roms.

I am currently using StockRom, but I would like to try Sky-ICS.

However, I have my current rom setup exactly how I like it, so if I do a backup through CWM or the backup manager app, and I don't like Sky-ICS, will restoring my rom bring everything back exactly how it was? Or will I have to re do my settings, and re download my apps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
It will be just like it was when you left if. That's one of the beauties of the backup. That and it can save your butt.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] geoldr:
Oh OK great. Thanks man
[Optimus One, P500, V General] uPWarrior:
Hi everyone,

I was using adfad666's KANG rom on new baseband using my old SIM card, but just moved to the US and got a T-Mobile prepaid SIM. I wasn't able to get signal using this card, though it was working on other mobile phones.

I thought it could be due to the new baseband, so I downgraded and tried a few roms for old baseband. Right now I'm with SlimGen, based on nightly, with no success. I also tried flashing aspee's baseband fix, but didn't get it working either.

Right now, automatic network searching says "Registered on network", though a warning sign appears on the tray saying "Selected network (T-Mobile) unavailable".

I've been reading this forums for a solution but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Has anyone had this problem before?

What combination of baseband, ROM and patches should I try?

Thanks

EDIT: I'm also not able to find WIFI networks when scanning, though I'm not sure it's related.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] theanykey:
It's possible it's the sim card, but you should first try updating the APN list: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/wiki/APNlist
[Optimus One, P500, V General] uPWarrior:
I don't think there's a problem with the SIM, as it works on other mobiles.

I'm not sure about this, but aren't APN's for data access only? I don't have regular 2g/3g signal.

It seems you use T-Mobile in the US, what baseband/rom/patch combination are you using? I would like to take that out of the way first.

I'll try to set up the APN, nevertheless.

Thanks

Is there a way to back up apps without root? Titanium backup says root required. I want to root my phone but since mega upload was taken down the only files i can find to root would take me all the way back to stock as far as i can tell, and i don't want to lose all my apps + data
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Waddle:
Tibu doesn't work without root. And if your phone isn't rooted, then how can you not be on stock? And flashing the whole root packages do not require you to wipe your phone's data, you only have to wipe if your coming from a non stock rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jhermit:
Checkout MyBacup Pro. It might do what you are looking for
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
AppMonster works well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
better than Titanium? Or is it just an alternative since the root is in question?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Just an alternative since I don't think it requires root.

I had to reflash my phone with gingervolt 1.3, after being stuck in CWM and using the recovery file to get it booted. After flashing 1.3 it will boot and stay on for about 30 seconds before rebooting. any help?
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Are you doing the "Factory Reset" option in the settings menu? If so, you're not supposed to a factory reset that way. You should only do a factory reset through the Recovery menu.
[LG Revolution] Noob_In_Recovery:
Also is your phone plugged in. I found if mine is then it just stays at the boot screen. Kind of like if you turn your phone on when its plugged in it shows the charging screen and you have to restart it again to get it to boot
[LG Revolution] keynith:
I did a factory reset from the phone and realized you werent supposed to only after it was done. now it stays booted and usable for 30 seconds before rebooting again. I cant even use lgnst to fix my phone because it doesnt stay booted long enough to apply usb debugging mode and what not.

Any ideas of what i can do? i can still get into CWM if that helps.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Did you flash the exit recovery zip?
[LG Revolution] keynith:
yes i have flashed it and it doesnt help. i think thats just if you are stuck in recovery and im not.
[LG Revolution] nasaiya:
I had this same problem horribly, couldn't even use my phone. Gingervolt 2.0 has mostly fixed it, no more rebooting as soon as the home screen loads anyway.

I used to be able to get it out of the endless reboot cycle by quickly opening up the settings dialog as soon as it was possible and randomly opening and closing sub-menus for about a minute... at least that would get it to stop for a little while so I could use the thing!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pj737:
I'm an avid hiker/trail runner and former Blackberry owner. My old 9930 was unable to accurately (or even rough ballpark) determine altitude by utilizing its GPS sensors. But the Note has a built in barometer which measures air pressure. This should allow fairly accurate altitude readings especially when combined with GPS. Are there any programs available that utilize both the barometer and GPS to calculate altitude?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pattmyn:
If you install Elixer2 from the market you should be able to test the sensors to ensure they're accurate in the first place, then I'd do the hunt for apps to use it. Last thing I'd wanna do is pay money for an app only to find out the barometer is broken to all hell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsjusttim:
Search the market... I'm sure you will find something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Da_G:
Hi, i'm interested in playing with the Barometer data in this thing too.

If you don't find any decent apps for it, perhaps i'll add it to my to-do :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pattmyn:
Just installed Elixer2 and checked the pressure sensor relative to a home weather station I have and it's dead on accurate to what I'm getting from the weather station.

To quote someone more famous than me: "You're all clear kid, now let's blow this thing and go home!" to which I mean start hunting on the market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pj737:
I've been searching. All the "altimeter" programs out there utilize only the cellphone's GPS sensors to determine (i.e. guess) altitude. The results are, at best, horribly inaccurate. None of the programs utilize a phone's barometer... which makes sense as there aren't many phones out there that have them integrated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] runandhide05:
There are a few in the market. Just search barometric pressure, most state only for galaxy nexus and Xoom...as those where some of the first with the sensor but should work on the Note

Edit top four are free apps also
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MSigler:
This one uses the barometric pressure sensor, it's very simple though.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mintu123:
service menu

*#0*#

u can run sensor test there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cvlngineer:
Raw data from the built-in barometer will not be all that accurate for determining your altitude. All that you will get is the barometric pressure at your location and, possibly your uncorrected altitude relative to mean sea level. In order to obtain your correct altitude, the app will have to access the AWOS data from the nearest airport, to get the correct altimeter setting. High or low pressure systems moving through your area can cause your altitude to be incorrectly calculated by a couple hundred feet or so. This is why aircraft altimeters have an adjustment on them to dial in the current altimeter setting.

Hello,

on my xperia x8 i´ve tride 2 headphones and works fine on Stock kernel w miniCM7 2.0.9 but after i flashed kernel to nAa 11 w miniCM7 2.1.9 that headphones doesnt work. My phone cant recognize them. I scheared this problem on google and on the forum, but only i found is problem with TPPR(?) jack.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Then file a bug report on nAa's Google Code bug tracker
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bondgold_x:
headphones

first flash cm7 2.1.9 on stock kernel.

Then check whether your head phones are working ?

if working,then install root explorer from android market and go to /system/usr/keylayout and copy systemconnector.kl to SD card.

Then flash nAa-11 kernel and cm7 2.1.9 and after booting copy above copied file into same location and change permissions to inverted L. its done.

enjoy.

[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
doesn't work in CWM or at all? have you tried flashing another rom or kernel (I've heard custom kernels do this sometimes)? a last resort would be doing a full wipe and reinstall/reflash

Can you still get into CWM? that would tell you if it's a hardware or software.

I have an Ace Iconia A100 8GB tablet. I tried the mod posted by Crossix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20907592#post20907592. I did not have an install-recovery.sh file already in the /etc folder, so nothing to back up and restore in case I need to undo this mod. My questions are:

1. what revisions to the script need to be made to undo the mod?

2. is it possible to delete the install-recovery.sh file from /etc, reboot, and be back to default? (assuming all files are copied back to the true internal memory area)

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] T Greezy:
Ok, I wiped everything that you need to wipe. Dalvik Cache, Cache, /system,etc.

I install the rom and it goes to hboot, loads a P58IMG and says main version failed.

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to be on a 4.0.3 boot.img? Sorry, I'm new.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
I'm guessing your main version is older.

There's quite a few guides around to fix this, search the development forums.

I had someone send me a modified PH98IMG file and I loaded that and it worked fine.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Um, are you really trying to flash a P58IMG? As in PG58IMG.zip? Isn't that for the Sensation? You might want to make sure you have a PH98IMG.zip for our phone.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I don't think hboot will even read a file that isn't ph98img.zip. if you changed the name it would...
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Assuming you meant PH98IMG, you can either copy out the boot.img and flash it in fastboot:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

or you can edit the android-info.txt in the PHzip file to match your mainver and flash it in bootloader on the phone. To find out your mainver, in fastboot type:

This also happened to me, it was working properly before but it just stopped.

Hey guys. I recently came across the same problem as the OP.

My phone will not detect that it is connected to a computer, and the computer will say that the device is not detected/has malfunctioned.

I have tried a factory reset, I have tried USB debugging, checking and unchecking, I have tried going into USB Storage and hitting the connect to PC button.

The phone does not connect using any of the 6 USB ports. It does not connect to my home or work computer. I have used two different cables, the stock and a third party one. (I have always used stock, never any third party until now to resolve this issue.)

This problem also came out of the blue, no changes were made. The phone is stock no rooting or flashing. Although that was the plan, but now it seems pointless.

Judging from the responses on many websites, I would have to say it's a software issue that can't be resolved. Or maybe a hardware issue. Either way I'm sending it into Rogers (Canadian carrier it originated from) tomorrow if I can't fix it by tonight.

I would love help from the outside public, but please respond with suggestions that are more intricate than to hit the connect to PC button, as I have exhausted all of those options already.

If this is a random occurrence, (and it seems like a common problem from all the results I get when searching for answers) then this phone model really needs to have a fix or something down the road soon, because this is ridiculous.

EDIT: Also tried reboot of the PC. It's Windows 7 64-bit so shouldn't need drivers either, and it was working fine last week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
If u did all that, u did ur due diligence in troubleshooting the problem. I almost guarantee ur mini-usb is dead, or maybe damaged so that it still allows charge but won't connect to computer. Send it in to Rogers, they should give u a temp phone in the mean time becuz its under warrantt
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slipstreamconversion:
Yeah I figured something hardware related decided to crap out on me.

Is there a specific cause for this to happen? I plan on rooting and flashing different roms when I get the phone back, and don't want to have this happen again out of warranty, or else I'm screwed.

I try to take good care of my phone, so it's weird that this happened. If it is a common problem, then I guess I'd have to be careful to not do anything on my phone that's not reversible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nsarjien:
Replacing the usb port on some devices arent solving the issue.

As suggested I did a factory reset (which didn't resolve the freeze/reboot issue). Now there is a new problem. I was reinstalling apps and came to one that says it isn't compatible with my device. How can that be?? I had it on my Prime and it was working fine (Scrabble Free for Android). Now when I go to re-download and install, I can't because it says "not compatible." It was working on my tablet just fine last night. Any ideas what's going on now??:mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] m3t4lw01f:
Did you have it on honeycomb then update to ICS? That may be why.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] manley1534:
When I did the factory reset - it reset automatically to ICS and with the .14 update. I don't find anywhere that lets me change that. I've done the factory reset twice and both times it reset with the latest update. I wish I could go back to .11 - even .13 worked fine for me. That's what I was hoping the reset would let me do...let me select the updates and then I could stop short of .14
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Chrono_Tata:
The compatibility is set by the app publisher so even if it is actually compatible you can't get it from the market if they won't let you. Since it is a free app anyway you could look online for an apk.

Edit: accidentally submitted post before I finished writing .
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PolishPoet:
Can you restore it from a backup. It may be that the developer doesn't have the coding made to work under ICS and you probably downloaded it, the tablet was

running Honey Comb. When you upgraded to ICS it would have stayed. I did the same and my Scrabble works just fine.

I have a problem of that kind with GTA III on my (german/EU) Prime. Market says GTA III is not available in my country, but I can install and run it fine from the market on my SGS 2.

Rockstar support said it's compatible with the Prime, Android market support insists it is marked incompatible by the developer. I was in the US but didnt have a long enough Wifi connection to download it, back in Germany "unavailable"...

The big BS is that I downloaded a cracked Tegra2 version and it runs perfectly fine, even before the Prime was marked compatible. All on ICS.
