Greetings XDA-World.

Well, Firstly, id like to mention that today is my first day as a registered member of xda. And Yeah, im just 15 so you can call me a noob or inexperienced, i dont mind. :P

Well Anyway, before i flashed CyanogenMod 7.2 RCO by vo-1, I took two backups of the original stock firmware, one using CWM 4.0.0.9 and the other using CWM 5.0.2.6. However, i decided to go back on stock using the backups but failed, and my Ace is stuck on bootloops. If someone could help me get these backups to work, i would be really grateful. :)

Any help will be greatly appreciated. :)

[Admins im sorry ive posted in the wrong place or wrong method ot whatsoever, im a newbie]

Thanks,

UsmanJ

You cannot restore Stock ROM's backups using CWM. If your stock rom was on ext4 filesystem then it could have been possible. But, I think you made a backup of a stock ROM and not a custom ROM based on Stock ROM. Lol, a bit confusing but you cant restore that backup as far as my experience says.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] shailpancholi:
Welcome to xda
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] null_buffer:
Thanks brother. :) Yes, i could guess that because most custom rom format the system partition as ext4 because it occupies less place. Isnt it possible that we format the System partition in a way tht is supports the initial backup?

Sorry if im too newb. :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] codeknight11:
Ney. Cuz the original backup was taken on a rfs filesystem. You can try one thing. Flash stock rom via odin, root your ace, install ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.6 and then try restoring that backup. Not really sure if this will help but there's no harm in trying :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] null_buffer:
Yeah, that might be possible. But actually i brought my from an arab country, and unfortunately the Stock firmware of arabic region lacks then MODEM file. (i checked in samfirmware.com)

Thanks. :)

You can flash any other country's firmware. I live in India and I am using Netherlands' firmware now and I dont have any problem.

Ive used previous MIUIv4 ICS roms and never had this issue, but I installed this one earlier today,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1493631

A few of my apps didn't show up, Bank of America and Endomondo Pro. When I went to restore with Titanium Pro, they wouldn't install. I went to restore them with MIUI Backup app, the restore failed. When I go to the market to redownload them I get a error, "missing shared library".

Does anybody know what that means and can help me fix it? I've read a few things doing some research and it has to to do with Google Maps or GAPPS? Im not really sure. I have Google Maps on my phone, so what's the issue?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] movelbit:
I see no reason why airdroid or myphoneexplorer could be a better option to use than DeskSMS as stated before.

The user asked for a very specific function: send SMS on your computer.

Airdroid is a pain in the ass to setup in some networks. It has too much unasked functions.

DeskSMS sends/recieves SMS/Missed Calls by mail. Phone can be connected on wify or 3G.

What else could be easier?

Of course the user can try all those alternate apps. But none is as good, simple and powerfull as DeskSMS for that specific function.

Nice job, I'm liking all these ported mods coming in all of a sudden.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jmone:
Thanks - This installs fine on the "WCX Sense Telstra Velocity ICS 3.6 Initial Release" but there seems to be an issue with WiFi, it is greyed out in quick settings and the text says "turning on" but nil happens. Wireless ADB is also marked as "Turning On" but is not greyed out and you can turn it ON/OFF(the Telstra Radio???). I can also no longer enable WiFi or the Hotspot with the normal widget or via the main menu either.

This is the only issue I have seen but are there other things you would like me to test (as I will flash back at some point of course) :)

Thanks

I am on generic base, which is telestra based without issue. It may be something you have installed.

Give me detail & I will try to recreate & logcat or give me a logcat.

Of course mine uses some SDK libraries & drivers that are not in many roms since they don't get used by the gen. pop.

The WiFi does eventually say it failed, but I'm having issue getting a logcat to send...I've installed CatLog but the Wait Circle goes around and around once I try to start WiFi.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zoidpilot:
Are you rooted? If you are and have a custom recovery, just head over to the dev section and try flashing a few different modems to see which works best.

Remember, after you flash a new modem, you have to go into your system settings and update PRL and profile, then reboot. Try them all and see which works best. You can see which one you are currently on in settings>about phone> baseband version. Its the last 4 digits.

Edit: here's a link to the modems

Just flashing is fine. You literally just flash, boot, update, reboot. That's it. Although I have this slight disorder in which I wipe before every little flash, I don't think it's necessary. As always though, be sure to backup before anything.

I'm running SAUROM V ROM cause its just rad but this might just work for others as well...

Flash thru Clockwork

This has my ICS theme on it you may or may not like, just backup your existing Contacts.apk just in case. I'm attaching the flashable zip and a revert back to Saurom's original Contacts flashable zip. If you've done any modding to your existing Contacts.apk then back that up and put into 1 of my zips or your own in order to go right back where you were at.

Also made it so that if you want a custom background for your dialer, you just make any image and name it 'custom_background_dialer.png' and place it in the res/drawable-hdpi-finger folder overwriting the transparent 1 that is already in there. Personally I prefer the transparent background and haven't even tried replacing that image yet so report back...

Hey guys,

I am using an Australian Vodafone Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100GT. I just flashed my phone from Gingerbread 2.3.3 to ICS LP7 ("GT-I9100_XTC_I9100DXLP7_I9100OLBLP7_I9100DXLP7"). The flash went well but on booting up the phone, it will not unlock!! It comes up with a pattern code (which I wasn't using previously) and I can't do anything about it.

On a side note I still have Android Recovery System v3e. I remember every time I used to try to upgrade using this recovery system, I would receive error messages with no clear solutions on the forums.

I want to get to PureICS but cannot figure out how to do so.

I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Okay, a little about my setup. I have tested on Slim ICS 2.7, 2.9; Codename Android 1.4, 1.5.5; as well as AOKP (I dont know exact builds, but am on the latest now - build 28). I have a Cradlepoint MBR 1000 which is a b/g/n 4g router (though I only have cable hooked up - was bought originally to allow me to broadcast my Clear 4g service, but Clear doesnt work where I live now).

EVO 3D, iPhone 4s, All my laptops, HeroC, Kyocera Echo, Roku...I mean everything connects to my Wi-Fi EXCEPT my NS4G...WTH?

Does anyone else have this issue?...could it be some settings with the N router?...I cant believe everything but this phone works.

Either your phones wifi hardware is gone or your house.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Not necessarily. Setup of each router can change in numerous ways so as to stop certain devices from working, as can certain phone settings not allow connecting to certain routers. It is not quite so black and white, and we already know the router works.

Sounds like a channel setting problem. Easiest way is to open up your router config and change the channel between 1 and 12 and this shouldn't happen again. Alternatively you could mess around with your build.prop.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oogway13:
Harbb is right, you might want to test several things within your router:

Change channels (use 1, 6 or 11-12)

Set it to only use on b/g connections (don't use n)

Different authentication methods (WPA2 with AES, etc)

And make sure you don't have a limit on your DHCP settings (just to make sure you don't have a ton of devices connected so it's not handing more IPs) or MAC filter.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilvoice:
Okay, sorry for not replying sooner. I posted this, then went to bed.

@Harbb:

It does see the network, lets me connect, put in the password, and says it is connected. It always says the connection is poor when I know it should be a good connection. The phone then shows the wifi icon and up and down arrows inside of the icon...I never see a portion of blue. When I try to download from the market, it will act like it is working, then the icon will disappear/reappear numerous times before it tell me there is not a connection.

As for my router setup. I do not know what information will help in this but here is some info: I do not have MAC filtering on, WISH is active (dont use it), WPA2 Only Personal AES (this is what I use), Channel 6 (I have tried channel 11 because I read somewhere the Wii needed 1 or 11 or one of my devices needed it), Transmission rate is Best, Channel is Auto 20/40 MHz, Mixed b/g/n (to utilize N and G, it has to be on this setting, there isn't an option for Mixed n/g), it is set on 192.168.0.x, NetBIOS mode type is Mixed (Broadcast then Point to Point).

@shockem I have not tested it with any other hotspot to see if it is just a problem with that router and this phone. I will try if I can find an open hotspot and let you know.

@Billchen0014 It does detect the network and connects, but drops it constantly...I cant even download a <1MB file from the market.

@Harbb (2) Going by your advice to daviki...it looks like I need to check another router. I go by a Starbucks, so I will try their hotspot...unless it isn't free, then Ill look around.

Thanks everyone who is helping me with this.

@Oogway, I will try G only and see what happens...if I use Mixed it has to be g/b or b/g/n. As for DHCP there is only 2 maybe 3 devices connected and No MAC filtering
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oogway13:
Could it be the Wifi country code issue?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilvoice:
Is that something on the phone? Also, I tested different channels (1, 6, 11) as well as b/g and g only. Still no go.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Thanks for the info. Test another hotspot (preferably one with a wpa2 password too if possible) and let us know. I'll reply later with some things to try as I gotta get going.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilvoice:
Okay, I did test one more thing. I sat right next to the router and it had full bars. Stayed full and my speed tests were great. Moved to where I sit on the couch about 30 walking steps away and no connection. I know the signal reaches because it is where I use laptops and other devices. The PS3 and Wii are further away and have no issue. It is not a clear path, but there aren't any doors between the router and the couch.

Just some more info...leading me to believe it is an issue with the phone. I get horrible service with Sprint also, so it may be connected. I don't know.

Any ideas? Is it just because of how far away I am?

Again, thanks everyone for the help. It has been so frustrating ever since I got the phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Wifi Analyzer can give you a dB reading on the signal strength if you'd like to try that from a distance too. Wifi at uni likes to show low bars quite often, however alot of the time i have great signal and it shows through wifi analyzer. May not be related since uni is a peap connection, but worth a shot anywho. Might give another hint on whether you should seek out warranty or router settings.
