[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
Just stay away from flashing SBF files and you'll be fine and will always be able to go back to stock.

NB! The only SBF you should ever flash, is your STOCK SBF! If you obey this rule, you'll be just fine ;)

P.S. This post was written in font size 7 for a reason ;) and the reason is not that I'm yelling. It's just because many people here listen to other newby's, advising them to flash this or that SBF and then can't go back. It's for your own good, guys :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bone101:
First go and find your stock(faktory)rom then look if you have red(bayer) or green (SOC) camera lens

root your phone

install 2nd init or use twrp from goo-inside or goomanager app

Boot into cwm recovery

Make a backup of your stock rom

Now you can go back via recovery system to your own setup whenever you want to

Just wipe data , look for the right kernel and restore your backup

You can flash your orginal sbf with rsd lite whenever you want and your phone is nearley like a new one.

Maybe some infos are stored on phone what you have flashed on

You do all fron your own risk :-)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M0nte_Crist0:
So I do this:

1. Root phone

2. Install 2nd init

3.Backup of my stock ROM

And than install ICS like it is explained here.

And if I want to return stock ROM I just find backup file on my computer and install it with rsd lite.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auris 1.6 vvt-i:
No need to backup your original ROM - that's what your stock SBF is for ;) By flashing it, you will return your original system, that was installed by Motorola and will remove 2nd init, root and all traces of ever manipulating your phone ;)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vis_9:
That's the safest way! However, you can't always find your original SBF (e.g. my original rom is 45.0.74.MB526.Retail.en.DE, 4.5.1-134 DFP-74).

You can download the available SBF for defy+ here: h**p://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M0nte_Crist0:
So if i want to take my phone to service i just download 2.3.5 Motorola Stock ROM and flash it like normal.

What is difference between flashing ROM and SBF files?

And you told me that only SBF i should flash is my stock SBF but want i change my SBF files when i flash ICS?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oSandmaNo:
I have a nandroid of the stock rom that came with my phone.. how do I see what build version it is? Im on cm7.2. I cant restore it because of hash errors. So if i find out build info i can flash that particular sbf
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NishantM:
--pls delete this--
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vis_9:
If you flash just the ROM, the kernel and the other files will be the same and most important you won't burn eFuses, so you'll be able to come back to older version.

Auris 1.6 vvt-i told you to flash your stock SBF to avoid burning eFuses and because in this way you will never have problems with warranty (some versions could be not available in your country). You don't need to flash full SBF before upgrading to ICS, just check the kernel and flash the right version.

Which version is it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aliensquale:
I just got the nexus for Verizon. From what I understand, this phone is purely google apps.. No verizon junk apps right?

So is it safe to say that the phone stock is as clean and fast as possible?

I have Titanium backups of user apps from my old Droid charge phone which runs a custom rom.. So I want to restore those apps on the new nexus... I assume I need at least root to run titanium backup on the nexus right?

So would it make sense to install a custom rom after I get root? I don't want a phone that is unreliable.. This is the only phone in my house.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Technically the Verizon version isn't pure like the GSM version, I think they added one or two Verizon crapps. But I'd root it no question, only adds function. I ran stock with root for months. Just tried aokp rom and it is beyond my expectations, I should have switched sooner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] housry23:
Do NOT!!! Restore data from apps on your Droid Charge. You can however install just the apps. I want to warn you though that even just installing those apps from your other device could cause bugs, freeze ups and/or random reboots. Yes even user apps. It is probably best to just reinstall them from the Play Store. It really is easy to do since now the Play store has a tab in my apps that shows all the apps you've ever installed. I would not recommend installing apps from a TB from another device and definitely don't reinstall any app data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackdesp:
If you want pure google, you have to install factory image from google.

You have to be rooted to use tibu.

I was a custom rom fan, till the G1 days. But after installed factory image, i am happy with my phone. Indtead of installing custom roms, i prefer to do some little tweaks. I recommend this way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aliensquale:
What differences did you notice with the aokp rom versus stock?

What kernel are you running? Is kernel included in the rom?

I want the cleanest, fastest speed and best battery life.. I don't care about any other customizations or themes.. I run GoLauncher with my own backup of home screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I'm just running the stock kernel. I just flashed aokp and running it as is. Personally I like the extra options I get like status bar control and nav button control. I don't oc or UV or other stuff, just like it stock. You can keep your phone stock if you want, I ran stock for months. Why not just create a backup then try aokp and return to your backup if you want. That way you can see for yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
This thread is full of deja vu.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aliensquale:
Any speed difference with this rom versus stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Stock .4. Plenty of speed and battery. Stable too. Possible radio issues though. Workarounds though that work great.

bow chicka wow wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shohratshankar:
Worth It

I bought my Galaxy Nexus, immediately rooted it and then ran it on stock for a couple of days.

Wanted more flexibility or ability to choose with Nav bar and lockscreen. Tried a few ROMS and then got to AOKP b31 with franco kernel milestone 2.

It is smooth, fast and stable with great battery life. NO FCs or reboots at all.

I am running default settings on the kernel, no UV or OC.

I am glad I did it. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aliensquale:
That's what i plan on doing too right away, that same setup. What instruction set did you follow?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shohratshankar:
I used the instructions from the site below to unlock and root.

http://galaxynexusroot.com/galaxy-nexus-root/how-to-root-galaxy-nexus/

After that followed instructions as per ROM OP to flash ROM.

I always do a clean install after wiping.

All the best with the flashing
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dem00n:
Hi everyone,

sometime ago I started having strange battery drain on my DHD. It only happens when the screen is on.

When screen is off the average battery drain is only around 2-4mA and I lose around 5-7% of battery in 8 hours.

However when I turn the screen on battery fully drains in around 3-4 hours and usage is around 150-450 mA.

Is is normal behaviour?

When I was using stock Sense when I first got the phone I did not have that problem. I wanted something faster and I have installed CM7. Then I wanted to get back to Sense and I have installed Android Revolution HD (Full wipe between each install). At that time battery was still great. Then I wanted new Sense and I have installed CoreDroid 9.3 and the drain I have described started at that point. I thought maybe I had a bad install and I have reinstalled CoreDroid. The problem was still there. So I decided to go back to CM7 which I knew was working fine before but the drain is still here and only when screen is on. I have tried different radios and kernels, working with and without SD card, different brightness settings, wifi on and off, 3g on and off and nothing makes any difference, the drain is still there even in airplane mode. I have tried couple of different batteries but even that did not help, the phone is still draining when screen is on.

Does anyone have the same problem? Is it hardware at fault?

I have tried finding the solution but no one else seems to be suffering from described problem. Also the phone switches itself off at 3600mV. I have read that most of the androids switch itself off at 3200 mV. Is it nomal for DHD? I have recalibrated battery and tried all the possible solutions available on the web.

Does anyone know what is going on with my phone?

My current setup:

Android version: 2.3.7

Baseband version: 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.14-LorDmodEU-8.6-BFS+lord@lord-mint

Mod version: CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC1-ace

I will be really grateful for any help.

Thanks,

Greg
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew33:
I can't help you, but can say that If I take my phone off charge at 100%, I can go out the front garden, to have a cigarette for literally 3-5 mins.....and my battery has gone from 100% down to 88-90% ! !

That's with screen dim as low as it will go, WiFi Off, Data OFF, Gps OFF, Auto Sync OFF...just literally 3-5 mins browsing through folders using ES File Explorer...not playing any videos or anything.

I think it's a general smart phone thing, the bigger the screen, the more power the processor etc etc, the more power it's gonna suck.

As Technology moving as fast as it is, give it a year or 2 and I reckon there will be some crazy battery invention that gives you days and days of battery use and still have loads left.

Matt
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dem00n:
Hi Matt,

thanks for the reply. I guess I will have to live with that until my next upgrade.

At least most of the time I am somewhere near wall socket so somehow I manage, but it is annoying to see 50% off battery drained in an hour whenever I play any game on it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tweetatoo:
Hey guys :D

I have Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9003, and I am using the vold.fstab mod for swapping the internal Sd card for the external. I have every thing running fine. But I noticed a strange problem. When I open applications, it seems like the memory card gets mounted in read-only mode, as when I try to use any file explorer to remove files, it cannot delete until I either use root explorer with mounting as R/W mode, or rebooting the device. If so, things get fixed, but after some use, the problem recurs. Besides, I noticed that while the problem is active, the gallary opens empty with a message showing up "No SD card detected". Otherwise, and even with the problem is active, apps open normally and flawlessly, but unable to write files or delete them. Rebooting always fixes the problem.

Any idea why this is happening?

BTW, the card is very new and healthy, and opens perfectly with card reader on windows, and sends and receives files to and from the computer very fast, and it is 16 GB.

Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alexecus:
I solved that problem after months of research... You see, the problem is corruption... The explanation is very very complicated so I am giving you the things you need to do to fix that read only problem...

(Should be done by steps)

1. Put your sdcard in a card reader (recommended) and use chkdsk /r (if you are using windows)... Or simply go to drive properties and go to error checking, check all the boxes and start scanning until finish... Put your card back to the phone... Check if the problem still persisit... If it still persist, do step 2...

2. Backup all files to your computer... Reboot your phone to recovery mode and use the format sdcard option in the mount and storage menu... Restore all data afterwards.. If it still persist, do step 3..

3. Believe it or not, some files in your sdcard are causing a data corruption (This was my issue).. The only fix for this is to find out what files are corrupted... Mostly, the directory that contains these files are from:

sdcard/Android/

sdcard/Gameloft/

sdcard/data/

sdcard/lost.dir/

Do step 2 first... When attempting to restore the files back to your sdcard, do not include this directories... This will more likely solve your problem...

4. Some tweaks such as sdcard speed tweak and other sdcard related tweaks in init.d folder is causing this problem... Try to boot your phone without them and see if it works....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tweetatoo:
Thank you very much.

I really have some gameloft games installed and believe it or not, the problem is almost always occurring when I open these games !!

I will try your solution and inform you of the results :) .

BTW, what if the problem is caused by the files of these games? And what if the problem recurred after restoring these files? Is there a permanent fix for that?

Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tweetatoo:
It seems like it's SD card problem, although it's new!!

I was playing on a game installed on USB Storage, and all of a sudden the game became unresponsive. I then forced reboot the device, and when restarted, SD became unavailable!! I went to "SD and storage" settings and both SD card and USB storage give "Unavailable". Pressing on "Mount SD card" does not work! Formatting is not working!!

Any suggestions guys??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tweetatoo:
BTW, I remind you that I am using the vold.fstab mod, gingerbread version. I tried to install another SD from my friend's phone that is working fine in his AT&T Galaxy S i9000, but once done, it gives me "USB Storage damaged" !!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tweetatoo:
Seems like I lost my SD card :(

It opens normally in Windows, and I could back it up. When I delete all files, it gives that they were deleted. But when I eject it and reinsert it, the files are not removed :(

Neither formatting nor chkdsk in Windows work :(

GParted gives "Unable to open /dev/... as read-write (file system read-only)" :(

Any suggestions??

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alexecus:
It seems that I forgot to mention regarding a bad sdcard.. Some issues are appearing because your card is either damaged or is badly made... Glad to hear your problem solved...

how to recover corrupted inter sd card?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tweetatoo:
Thank you very much for your assistance :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tweetatoo:
Actually, during searching for a solution for my problem, some websites suggested the following:

1- if your card gives you that it is read only, try to use micro SD adapter, and put the lock half way between the locking position and the unlocking one, th en try to perform chkdsk, followed by formatting attempt.

2- if formatting has failed, try to use GParted (bootable live disk is available online and can be downloaded).

Your internal SD will subsequently be recovered once the external is recovered, or simply, put a new external SD of whatever size, and you will regain access to your internal SD, and thats supposing you are using vold.fstab mod ;)

Please let us know of the results , hopefully it works with you :)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Developing a PDF reader on *anything* is hard. It's a complicated format. Developing one on the phone is harder still, because you need to write it in .NET unless you get special permission from Microsoft. The official Adobe Reader app uses a native component (accessed via COM, much like many homebrew apps) to do the actual PDF rendering.

Is there some specific feature you need that the current PDF reader apps don't offer? I don't enjoy reading PDFs (on my phone or anywhere else) but I've found the Adobe Reader app to be sufficient for use on the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djfoxer:
Ok, but Adobe Reader on WP7 doesn't have important features like: searching, "go to page" and it's little slow!
