After flashing my ROM to the fantastic [mi7ROM] [05.04.2012][multi lang] mi7ROM_v1/v1b tango 8773 the other day, I have since discovered that I am unable to rate apps which I have installed.

I used to be able to do this before but now there aren't even stars to click and the text box cannot be filled in :(

anyway.... is there a fix for this or am I just going to have to live with it now.

any suggestions would be great

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] radir:
My problem is this: I can't root my device on the stock kernel and rom. (tried superoneclick 2.3.3, DoomLorD's Easy Rooting Toolkit 4.0)

But before I start to explore custom kernels and roms, I'd like to back them up. But all the guides I found uses clockworkmod and a rooted rom.

So my question is this: can you back up your rom without rooting it?

My device:

- YP-G70

- 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD.XWKP6

- kernel: 2.6.35.7 se.infra@SEI-43 #2
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dunca123:
Turn off all of your computers security, unzip superoneclick again and then root. Make sure USB debugging is on. Your virus protection is automatically deleting files that you need to root. Or you can just flash a rooted kernel via Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] radir:
For rooting I asked for help in another topic, but no one could help.

But as I wrote it there, I tried everything. Of course the first step is to turn off the virus protection. Usb debugging is always on, after that I think I tried everything. Running the apps in admin mode, not in admin mode, dismounted the sd card, removed the sd card, tried with sd card, etc.

But rooting is not the issue here. I gave it up on this rom. What I'd like to know, is this: can you back up your stock rom without rooting it. Because before I flash another rom, I'd like to back up the stock rom.

But anyway, thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] p34c3m4k3r:
I don't think so, since you need the su/sudo command to run dd and backup the player's partitions.

About the rooting. There are some GB rom's that are somehow patched, so rooting is a no-go.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] radir:
Well I made a leap of faith, and installed rj's custom kernel. Everything works well so far. With the installed clockworkmod, I can backup now. Even the rooting problem is solved too.

Well this is not a solution for the problem, but a workaround, but it works, so I'm happy.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lexrsk:
99% of the time all data is safe. However it is best to back up all data that you want to keep just in case the flash goes wrong.

Please note that this happens vary rarely but best pratice is to back up the data.

Flashing a new ROM with odin will wipe any downloaded apps and saved games etc.

[Nokia Lumia 900] marco_ch:
Hi

I am interested in buying the lumia 900 as soon as its on the market in my country. just a couple of weeks off.

anyways, im on android now. not doing very much with the phone, but there are a few things that are must-haves for me.

so, id be glad if anyone could take the time to check if there is a counterpart for the lumia for the following:

- podcast app that automatically loads my podcasts (video&audio) during the night using my wlan according to a time schedule (on android, beyondpod does that for me)

- playing divx and other popular internet movie formats without any decoding etc. (android on sgs2 does that out of the box)

- sending/receving emails with all kinds of attachments

- streaming from and to the smartphone to my pc/tv (allshare from samsung does that for me)

- backup app that uploads all my taken pictures to the cloud ONLY when I am connected to a wlan (not 3g, my dataplan is not large enough)

- full torrent client, not remote only (ttorrent on android)

- moving any kind of files to the device without any restrictions. drag and drop preferred.

that are the must-haves for me if I make the switch to windows phone.

thanks and br

marco
[Nokia Lumia 900] FiyaFleye:

[Nokia Lumia 900] FiyaFleye:
Zune handles podcasts and auto downloads subscriptions for you.

It also backs up pictures to Skydrive/FB for you.

However...

There are numerous, countless, exhaustive posts ALL OVER the internet, not only here, about what Windows Phone is and isn't. I think it's ridiculous, annoying, and pretty ignorant to continue to post comments like this. You came in asking for answers, they were provided, there is no need to throw in a fanboyish jab.

I really don't see the need to receive .psd attachments on my phone, I really don't. I don't see the need to use it as a flash drive, I never did when I had the ability to on WinMo or Android. I also don't see the need to. I understand others have different needs... And I respect that, I just don't see the need to call it limited because it doesn't do things I personally consider unnecessary. I mean, with that logic, Android is "kinda limited it seems" because it can't last anything on battery, it can't run stable, it can't give me a consistent experience, it has stolen IP everywhere, it has an asshole CEO, etc, etc...

I hope you find a phone that suits your needs, the Lumia (and Windows Phone in general) is a great experience.

[Motorola Droid X2] S3AL3DF4T3:
Hello, everyone I'm new here. I wondering if it okay to unplug my phone from AC power after it hijacks charging mode or do I need it plugged in even when flashing?
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Keep it plugged in the entire time to be safe. Whilst flashing something like a ROM is not the time to experiment with new things.

CM7's BSR says you dont need an AC charger to use it and I've found that to be true ~50% of the time. Sometimes, it worked without charger and sometimes it did not.
[Motorola Droid X2] dark_system:
I keep the x2 plugged in until after I have flashed the roms, patches, etc...

Then unplug x2 right before I confirm the reboot. Otherwise it boots back into recovery. Haven't had any problems with that.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
I've unplugged after cwr started flashed my rom and had no problem. Also unplugged while backing up and restoring and no problems. Theoretically once it's highjacked and started it shouldn't be a problem.

You can potentially brick your phone any time you flash anything, especially radios. There is no kind of bricked, your either bricked or your not. If truly bricked, you cant boot or access hboot or recovery. If thats the case, there is no fix and yore phone is a "brick".

[Droid Incredible General] us27inks:
Yes, I am a complete noob, and this is my first post at xda. I hope my question isn't merely the result of not knowing how to properly use the search function.

I got a replacement for my waterlogged Dinc today, and attempted to root it. No luck until I found this thread. Everything went well until I went to install SU root files. The phone consistently hangs when I select any function in the recovery menu. I went back to adb to see if I needed to reinstall clockwork, but now when I type "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" it returns no devices.

Anyone know a workaround for this?
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
You say it hangs, are you using the track ball to select items in recovery?

Do you have usb debugging on? Try restarting the phone and pc.
[Droid Incredible General] us27inks:
I'm not using the track ball, just the volume and power buttons. USB debugging is on, and the phone and pc have been restarted multiple times. The battery must be removed to get into the recovery menu, but that should be normal (I think).

I selected reboot from the recovery menu and left it for an hour or so. It has made it past the clockwork logo and is now at the "eyeball". Perhaps if I leave it long enough I can get SU installed. Something is not playing nice though.

*** UPDATE *** Just because you asked if I was using the track ball, I tried it with the track ball instead of the buttons. Seems to be working. We'll see in a minute.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
You press the trackball to select items, vol up and down to navigate, and the power button to go back.
[Droid Incredible General] us27inks:
It's working. Thank you very much. I would have figured out what I was doing wrong if it had gone back instead of hanging at the clockwork logo.

Anyway, got my old rom installed, and I'm restoring all my apps. I'm just really glad I did a full backup the day before it got wet.:good:
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
Can I do the process while on a custom ROM and do I have to reactivate the phone after the process
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Well the process requires you to do a couple ruu's that will make you stock. It dosent matter if you start the process while on a custom rom.

I cant remember if you have to reactivate, but im pretty sure the only time you have to reactivate is if you do a factory reset from hboot, which this proccess does not do. But i could be wrong, so dont take it as a for sure thing.
[Droid Incredible General] zachf714:
OK thank you
[Droid Incredible General] scotty1223:
just a couple of things- the "warnings" you saw were normal hboot activity. when you enter hboot,it will always check the sd card for the various files that you see in the green writing. this is nothing to worry about,the phone is not missing any files,and they are not errors or warnings.

the red ! and triangle are simply the stock recovery. as you have discovered,running a full signed ruu will overwrite all partitions that it contains. the stock recovery is accessed by holding vol up and power until you see a menu,at wich point you could have rebooted without the battery pull.

you could not unlock via htcdev at this point in your adventure,as running the froyo ruu as s-off overwrote the 1.02 htcdev compatible hboot with the older .92 version. not a big deal,as with s-off there are many ways you could have skinned the cat,such as installing a recovery as a PB31IMG file,then flashing a rom,or slashing root files. you could also have re-run the GB ruu,and done the same. s-off will always remain,and you can always install recovery as a PB31IMG. you defaintely were not "stuck" in froyo! :)

as far as your adb commands,you may have not enabled usb debugging,you may have needed a simple unplug and replug,or you may have been in fastboot,where adb will not work. adb is only for use in the booted android operating system.

i assume the directions you found were these(wich i found with a search for EVOrootWiki): http://noobgui.de/wiki/index.php?title=Incredible_Froyo_Downgrade

i assume since you were on froyo,you simply ran the custom ruu. the difference between that and what you had backed up,are that it is an older version: 4.06.605.3. the newest is 4.08.605.15. maybe there is a difference somewhere between those 2 versions that is helping your wifi connectivity. it is also containing its matching radio,not the newest(newest is 2.15.10.12.20).

the hboot it contains is pretty slick- it is basically the 1.02 hboot,patched to think it is unlocked,without having to actually unlock via htcdev. defaintely neat if you had never unlocked via htcdev and needed the fastboot boot and fastboot flash commands,but since you have an unlock token,i dont know if youre getting ay advantage to running that over the 1.07. the hboot only boots the OS,it has nothing to do with your wifi connectivity issue.

i dont really maintain this guide like i do the original. there are links to the 1.07 hboot and the 2.15.10.12.20 baseband in the OP of the guide on AF if anyone wants to upgrade to them. ill try and update the OP here to match it in the next ocupld days.

glad you got everything sorted... holler if you have any other questions about your adventure :)

[Droid Incredible General] Astrokid248:
scotty1223, you just gave my phone a brand new life. I couldn't root it at all after trying four or five different methods. It turns out my issues were from installing ClockworkRecovery. Your instructions work perfectly, and it never occurred to me to use the adb to push the installation through. The best part about this guide is that I actually understand just what I did as I went through the steps. Massive kudos.
