I looked, but could not find an answer to this specific question.

Forgive me if it's been discussed before.

Here's the order in which i performed new ZEUS (build 6) install.

1) Titanium backup user apps.

2) manual backup of media.

3) Odin back to stock froyo.

4) Factory Reset.

5) super one click root

6) modded recovery install using cwm from market

7) re-install packages x2

8) install Zeus

9) Titanium re-install user apps.

10) ICS for v6 theme installed

Question: Can i move an OLD nandroid backup into the "_/clockworkmod/backup" folder and restore as if it i had not factory reset and re rooted?

Thanks in advance.

Sent from my computer.

RE-EDIT!!

Sorry if all that was unclear.. it was drunk thirty when i sent that.

i went back to stock, then did a factory reset from within froyo:

Settings -> privacy -> Factory data reset.

i copied the nandroid backup to the comp before this, then copied it back to same folder once i rooted and installed zeus and made initial new nandroid backup.

My question is can I restore from a backup that the phone erased and i put back after re-installing CWM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
cwm backup file can be restored in cwm. I don't know if it can be restored by any other means.

You dont have to be rooted. You just need to have a working cwm...I have only worked with Red CWM.

If you are looking to restore a nandroid, I recm booting into cwm. wipe clean: factory reset, wipe cache, advance -wipe dalvik. mount: format system, data and cache. Then restore your nandroid.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jahallah:
That's cool. I'm gonna try it, cause I can throw it under a bus for a new one if it bricks.

My question was backtowherw I started...with a a new file structure... can I restore from an old backupfrom a different file structure.

I was and am rooted fro both backups.

I did and now have red cwm.

I do and will take notes.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jahallah:
this is not a normal nandroid / cwm restore.

If you're reading this : Please... let me know if this has been discussed and link me ...

or tell me what it you don't understand about my question or how it differs from the MANY cwm restores I've Don from nandroid backup.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jahallah:
I guess no one knows ; That's cool.

The problem is that I forgot to backup all my apps. That's the only reason I wanted restore to a nandroid backup that was deleted by froyo factory data reset.

Now I backup using titanium but apparently lost or deleted the tiba folder after I copied it to the hdd.

At any rate, I only care that I get all apps with data back.

So... is there another way?

Apk extract from nandroid using comp or android?

Sent from my perfectly working phone which I choose not to **** up by restoring from a backup I didn't really want anyway.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
Not sure if this helps. But I always copy my nandroid back ups to my computer and my sdcard. That way if I ever need to restore, I can just copy the nandroid back up to the clockwork/backup folder.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
Just reread, there are a couple of apps that will let you extract apps from a nandroid backup. I for get which ones though.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whizzpopper:
Thanks for this thread. I've been trying to find a clear answer to my question and this is about as close as I've been able to find. So, just to verify (I am a noob, after all):

In order to install a rooted ROM when you have already installed an unrooted 2.3.6 (in my case, the UCLB3 leak), you need to do a nandroid backup, then go back to Froyo stock, root the Infuse, install CWM, then follow the instructions on the box?

In my case, I'm interested in Dman's rooted etc. UCLB3. His instructions start with "Boot into CWM" and I suppose this is the only way to do so! :)

This is what you are saying you did more or less, right?

step-1

After flash to stock uclb3 then use the heimdall package in the second post to flash Entropy's kernal... which will give you cwm recovery.

Step-2

Reboot into recovery and flash whatever you want:)

is this all i need to root after i unlocked the bootloader?

can someone tell me a small tutorial how to root it please i dont want to risk the phone.

Hi Guys I'm a complete noob so please no pointing and laughing!!! lol

I recently bought a second hand K990 which was rooted. It was advertised as a k999 and me rushing, flashed a stock k999 firmware to the fone without checking properly, I have looked but cant seem to figure out how to flash it back to standard k990 firmware :eek: any help would be much appreciated, but please bare in mind I'm new to this, I dont want custom roms or root just a stock standard K990

cheers guys

Beejay
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
Wait, did you mean p990 and p999

?
[LG Optimus 2x] Beejayblake:
yes sorry p990 and p999.

I think I have flashed the wrong rom for my model, all my serial numbers and paperwork say p990 but it wont run any p990 roms just boot loops all the time I can get it to run p999 roms but it has the unknown baseband issue? can anyone help?

I'm flashing with cwm...
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
The easiest way to whip it back into shape is probably to NVFlash an old rom, root it and install CWM and continue from there.
[LG Optimus 2x] iExitus:
Sorry do you have P990 or p999? And is a stock P990 or stock p999 in your p990/p999? I'm confused at the moment.
[LG Optimus 2x] Beejayblake:
Sorry forgot to post that I managed to get it back by using this exact method installed CWM and flashed an old rom to the phone, then wiped the lot including cwm I was then able to connect to nvflash, it wouldn't do this while I had the p999 rom installed, once NVflash was done installing a stock rom I managed to boot up and now have the fone working :) thanks for all the intended help guys ;)... I dare not touch it now as it's quite finnicky and I dont want to mess it up again! so looks like Froyo for me :( lol thanks again.

MY wifi ranger for galaxy mini became really short after I updated it to gingerbread 2.3.5 s5570lwmkpe The wifi literally picks up the my wifi that is located in my room with only one bar... help please how can i fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] frazar:
You can try to set the router to an higher channel. Higher cannel = higher frequency = wider range. Try!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yoyohoneysingh:
i dont think this is true.

we choose different channels so that our wifi network doesnt mix with that of others.changing channel doesnt increase the coverage area.

seems like that firmware has bugs, try updating to 2.3.6 that should solve the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RVD:
Ok this is a bit off topic. If this thread is not allowed, please delete it.

I currently have a family plan with my wife and mother in law. I have a Dell Streak with data, wife has an iPhone 4 with data, and MIL has a plain old cell phone with messaging but no data.

I would really like to get the Samsung Galaxy Note to replace my Dell Streak 5.

But my phone isn't up for renewal until August. Wife's phone isn't up for renewal until August. MIL's phone is available for renewal.

So is there a way for me to get the upgrade via my MIL and I use the phone via some type of shuffling around?

I'm thinking along the lines of:

1) Buy phone via upgrade on MIL's number

2) Buy required data plan

Now it gets iffy...

3) Cancel data plan on my line

4) Ask AT&T to do a switcheroo of my number and MIL's number? Will they do this?

Or do I have to wait until August...

I hate waiting.

RVD.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carnifex3:
You can use any line to upgrade your line. You just extend that line for another 2 years. I'm on a family plan and we have 5 lines one line is just a basic no data phone. I have used that line to upgrade before. Needless to say with 5 lines I always have an upgrade available its quite nice. When you go into the att store just tell them you want to use the upgrade on which ever line is available on your line.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
Yes it can be done. It is a great phone and you won't regret it.

Don't care what anybody says about at&t. On the wireless side have always had great customer service. Just get the right rep.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RVD:
awesome. looks like a galaxy note is in my near future...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesd86:
One of the few good things I've heard about at$t is that data is not tied to the contract..if you extend your mil contract but keep her on a dumbphone there's no data required on that line.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RVD:
I got my Galaxy Note yesterday!

I put my AT&T SIM card from my Dell Streak into the phone and it works for phone calls but data doesn't work. Of course wifi works fine.

Looks like I'll have to call AT&T?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
You may need a new sim chip. I bought the note upgrading from the streak and they needed to activate a new one for me. Walk into your local AT&T retailer and tell them you got a new phone but data isn't working though you have it on your plan and they should get you a new one for free.

Oh and if you have unlimited data and they try to pull the BS that you'll have to give it up because they don't offer unlimited on 4G, just laugh and ask them to call corporate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RVD:
I called them and I do need a new sim. It actually came with a new sim but I left it at home so I'll call them tonight when I get home.

My old sim says 3G on it so i guess it's not compatible with 4G LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RVD:
cool, i was able to get this done last night. wow, 4g LTE is really fast. i did a speed test and it said 16mbps download? that's almost the same as my lightning fast verizon fios speeds.

i got some accessories like a screen protector (invisible shield type stuff but cheap stuff that i make) and bought a zenus block folio case (hopefully it will get here in a week or so).

i set it up with adw launcher ex and put in all of my favorite apps. it didn't come with a micro SD card so i stuck in the one that i used with my dell streak (16gb).

it's much more stable than my old streak. my streak would power cycle and FC a lot. this has been pretty solid.

anything else?

"Fast forward a few months down the road. I did upgrade my phone... but only after being backdoored by Sprint. You see, that $40 credit they threw on my bill automatically extended my contract out another 2 years. I bought my contract up with the

option

to upgrade, but now I was basically forced to upgrade as Sprint extended my contract for 2 years without telling me they were doing so. Their response, "Well your contract would have been extended when you decided to upgrade your phone anyway." This is true, but the fact of the matter is I was not informed that this $40 was actually a front to extend my contract two years so I was essentially locked in already at that point in time. To me, that is, for lack of a better word, shady."

I am sure there are several people out there that would trade you an Evo and cash ..maybe enough to pay the ETF.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
As far as signal lock and speeds and such..... what rom/modem/kernel combo are you using? Because for me, the speeds stock experience left quite a bit to be desired. Even compared to my wife's Conquer(a much lower spec phone.) I have been installing the ICS leaked modems, while still running a GB based rom(Strongsteve's ODEX, very awesome.) I have seen quite a bit of improvement in data speeds and such. So if you haven't rooted and tried out some of the things you can do, you should give it a try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latoso:
is all about the iPhone last year i get a called from sprint, saying that they have a special offer for me since I have been with sprint for a long time, and i have no more contract on two of my lines they give 100 dollars in credit, and the option of getting a new phone whenever i want, on december i bought the epic and was a nightmare long story short i spoke with a supervisor and told me that after they got the iPhone everything changed, no more rebates, special offers and sorry that happened to me but there is nothing he can do, i have sign another two year contract to get the phone, not even the the 75 dollars for the year i was already in. so yeah i sign another contract to get the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
If you had another six months left in your previous contract, then it sounds like the $40 was simply an early upgrade charge. That would explain the extended contract. I can't imagine a contract termination fee being only $40...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ewynn9:
Out of everything you said in that long drawn out post, the bolded sentence above is the only thing they truly care about.

Sell your phone and go get an EVO again. You can find em for about $100 or less.

Without going into modems/roms, location issues, sprints service, the possibility that you got a bunk phone itself (hardware fault, Sprint should replace), or other possibilities...

I can say, coming from the Evo4G as well, I have had None of the issues you mentioned. Not once. Great cell service, great data. Great phone. :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wytecaztle:
Not shady you should have asked more questions....like sprint said your contract was pushed up so that you could upgrade early therefore pushing your contract up 2 more years then when you went and got the phone on a regular upgrade woild have signed you up 2 more years regardless....... It is called the early upgrade program....still :confused:

Also I had the Evo the day it came out and it had it's own list of problems as well. I know I had waited for some updates to fix things on that phone as well. If you think Sprint did something shady, the BBB is a good tool that will get response, corporate Sprint doesn't like negative remarks....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigdano:
Just got off the phone with Sprint tech support again... did another factory reset... no help. reset msl did a prl update no help.

They scheduled a visit with tech support in a sprint store to see if something is wrong with the phone. If they find something wrong they will swap it out for 40 bucks... keep in mind this is a brand new phone I bought 3 months ago... and I have to pay to get it swapped out and they will give me a refurbished one. If they don't find anything wrong I am screwed.

I called Samsung they said that the only warranty they have to provide is me send the phone in. If they find something wrong they will fix it and send the same phone back to me.

I think it's pretty safe to say I will try and get a refurbished one from the sprint store and sell it on ebay.

Otherwise I will try to push through as much data as possible... which might be tough because data is so slow on this phone... so that the carrier will choose to cancel our contract.

So the other night, my power button literally stopped working. I called Verizon and requested another device to be sent to me, but now I have to return this thing to stock before I send it back.

Is your phone on? Just use adb's command "adb reboot bootloader". If your phone is off, I don't know how you can turn it on without a power button.

adb reboot bootloader

when you finally need to power it off to send it in, just pull the battery.

Uh.. Yeah they will. The physical power button isn't working but as they unscrew the Galaxy nexus they can trigger the mechanic to power the phone on. And then just replace the button and reflash it to stock and then resell the phone.

If they see that the device was already bootloader unlocked, don't be surprised to see additional charges on your next bill.

Have you tried the GN Toolkit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1392310

If i remember correct, when the phone is ON, you can connect the phone, then reboot it with the GN toolkit to bootloader and install stock.

Take the battery out, plug the phone in, and then replace the battery. See if it will power up by itself.

Things I have tried:

GN Rootkit (adb/fastboot won't recognize device)

Plugging phone into computer and restarting computer

Draining battery and allowing to charge in phone until enough juice to turn on automatically

Plugging phone in with no battery

Nothing will work. Never tried a USB jig. Guess I will order one and see if that helps. Never used one before but I guess a google search will help. Guess I'll call Verizon and ask them to extend my return period before they bill me for the device.

Was kind of distracted by gf and didn't verify that it was for CDMA. I guess its GSM only. Anyways, now the jig won't bring up Odin mode, and I have an imagine of a phone connected to a monitor with a yellow exclaimation triangle between the two.
